PORT COMMISSION
CALLED DOWN BY
|NQUIRINC PUBLIC

There was a large audience at the
Commercial Clubs special meeting
Tuesday night, called to hear state
ments by the Port Commissioners of
what they are doing to further the
work of the Port District.
Special invitations were sent the
Commissioners to be present and
tell the public, through this meet
ing, what they had done, what they
are doing, and what they propose to
do for the improvement of the Port
of Everett. Commissioner Miley
was present in answer to the inyi-
tation, but commissioners Burke
and Chitty were conspicuous by
their absence.
The absence of these gentlemen
created the general impression that
they did not care to tefl the public
what they had done or what they
had not done in an official capacity.
There were those presen- who be-
lieve these two Commissioners
think Port District doings are none
of the publc's business,
Mr.. Taggart Aston, the Engineer
discharged by the Commission, al
leging that there is no work TO be
done. made it clear that there is
plenty to be done and that the City
of Everett is in danger of great loss
because some things which ought
to be done are not done imme-
diately.
Mr. Aston explained at consider
able length his comprehensive
scheme for port improvement,
which will be placed before the vot
ers if ever an election be called to
authorize the issuance of bonds for
that purpose. He answered many
questions asked by interested citi-
zens. explanatory of his compre-
hensive scheme, but the lack of
technical knowledge and absence of
study by the majority of his hear
ers left a hazy impression upon
them But he conveyed by his di-
rect statements the thought that
the Commissioner themselves did
not take enough interest in or give
the subject enough study to thor
oughly understand the recommend
atious made by the Engineer.
They are asleep at the switch,
and the public is admonished that
it will take an awful noise to awak-
en- them.
SO motion was made demanding
the designations Of commissioners
Burke and Chitty, but the senti-
ment of the meeting favored giving
them another chance, so meeting
was called for Thursday evening
(too late for publication in this
week S Journal and a committee
appointed to call on Messrs. Burke
and Chitty to invite them to be
present.

its officers, disclaimed responsible

reached his "farthest south" within sight

Of Arctic exploration work that is the
most perfect thing of its kind known to
man. Those who follow it down to the
last detail win success, as witness the
triumph IF Amundsen IN the Antarctic
and the tragedy Of Scott; for there can
be no gainsaying The fact that it was
mainly because Amundsen followed
Peary technic of Arctic travel that he
was 80 successful, while SCOTS untried
novelties in polar exploration were the
chief reasons for his failure.
1t was chiefly for the reason that he had
worked under Peary in previous polar
expedition and because he was thoroughly
imbued with the American naval officers
knowledge Of Arctic travel that Donald B.
MacMillans four years OF Arctic explora-
ton were 50 uniformly successful and so
free from the pitiful tragedies that were
the portion of the earlier explorers In the
desolate northern world.
Hunting for Crocker Land.
Primarily, Macmillan went North to de-
termine if Crocker Land, which Peary
believed he saw in 1906 northward Of
Grant Land, really existed, belief that
had survived for ninety Years and which
five men of standing in Arctic knowledge
have all given reasons for. In addition
to this Macmillan planned 10 search for
other lands west and southwest of Axel
Heiberg Land; 10 penetrate into the in
terror of Greenland between the 18th and
18th parallels of north latitude studying
meteorological and psychological conditions

A Cache 40 Years Old.

In the spring of 1915 Tanquary crossed
Ellesmere Land, penetrated Greedy Fjord,
crossed by Hazen Lake to Fort Conger
and then returned TO Etah by way of
Robson and Kennedy Channels and Kane
Basin, giving spirited account of his
lonely journey in one Of the appendices
TO the main body Of the text. In the spring
of 1916 Macmillan crossed Ellesmere
Land and reached the northeastern shore
of King Christian Island, but was pre-
vented from making explorations Of it by
bad weather and shortage of meat. In
The spring of 1917 he made long and
detailed exploration of the western coast
Of Smith Sound along Ellesmere Land,
starting on March q, returning to Etah
On April 9.
In that interval be had found g EARN

on the summit of the great ice cap, and TO
study scientific conditions: throughout the
region to be trapersed, all Of it lying above
the 18th parallel.
He proved that Croker Land did not
exist, but he accomplished much more than
this in the remaining three years of his
stay m the Arctic. He met with some dis
appointments, il is true, notably IN his
attempt TO explore King Christian Island
But he put very noteworthy success 10
his credit in his detailed exploration in
1917 Of the western coast of Smith Sound
from Cape Sabine 10 Clarence Head, a
land that had remained practically IN
visited by man since the Mares expedition
in 1S7j-76.
Getting Ready at Etah.
Accompanied by six companions, all
scientists except Allen and Small, respec-
lively electrician and cook of the expedi-
tion, Macmillan left the Brooklyn navy
yard in July, 1913, on board the Diana,
and after the usual trials that seem In
evitably to beset Arctic expedition YES
sells between Sydney, Cape Breton and
Etah, Greenland, the ship arrived at Etah
on August &c. -Four days later the Diana
had been unloaded and was out of sight
around Cape Alexander ON her way home,
leaving Macmillan in the most northern
settlement in the world, which was "se-
riously congested with nineteen men,
women and children"
Then began the business now familiar
TO all readers of Peary's books, of prepar-
ations for winter and the spring advance
This included training and hardening
dogs, collecting meat and laying down
caches in preparation for the real work

exploration will find here again the record

dangers and discomfOrts lightly passed

The Grand Mirage.

The first step toward the Croker Land
expedition was taken on December 6, when
Ekblaw and Lieut.. Ftzhugh Green of the
United States Navy started for Cape
Sabine with tie first load of supplies for
the first advanced depot. But Macmillan
did not actually start until February Is,
1914. His route took him across Files
mere Land to Bay Ford, northward past
Fosheim and Schei Island, to Cape
Thomas Hubbard on the northernmost
point of Axel Heiberg Land.
Sickness of both dogs and men drove
Macmillan back to Etah once to make a
fresh start on March TO- By April IL
the party reached Cape Thomas Hub
bard.
On April q, after marching across the
Polar Sea toward Croker Land, they
saw: What land Hills, valleys, snow
capped peaks extending through at least
l26 degrees of the horizon" One of the
Eskimos Thought it was mist He was
right; for few hours later the fair vision
bad disappeared
Three days later the observations of the
party showed them to be $50 miles from
Cape Thomas Hubbard, and if Peary had
been right they should have been thirty
miles inland. And yet there was not
thing IN sight but the polar ice, mot even

ion, the mirage They were back at

 EXPEDITION
(From Sundays Dailvl

Captain Appleby, of Rockwell Field, who was in charge of the ma chine which visited Yavapai county some few weeks ago, has written the Yavapai County Chamber of Com merce, advising that recruiting cam paign of California and Arizona has been planned, commencing at Fl Centro on May 27th, with three days spent in each city. From two to three government air planes will be used in this campaign.
 Exhibition flights will be made in each place and during the stay there every opportunity will be given your citizens to inspect the government air planes "In order to bring this plane to your county, however, and give your people the opportunity to inspect it, and see it in exhibition flights. it wifi be necessary for each place to furnish gas and oil for the ships while there. The government does not furnish gas and oil for tours of this kind We plan to be in Prescott on or About May 3lst," he said.
