land, and thereafter virtually conse-
Grated himself to Polar exploration.
Obtaining leave from the naval serv
ice, he led an expedition into Green
land to determine the extent of this
mysterious land. He determined its in
suarity, discovered and named many
Arctic points which today are familiar
names-such as Independence bay. Mel
vile land and Heilprin land--and in
one of his later voyages he discovered
the famous meteorites, which he brought
back to civilization. One Of them,
weighing eighty tons, is the wonder of
visitors TO the Museum Of Natural His
tory in New York.
Between voyages Peary resorted to
the lecture platform to raise funds for
further exploration. In one instance
he delivered 1853 lectures in ninety six
days, raising $4,000.
On his sixth voyage, with the pole in
view, he had to give up because both OF
his feet became frozen. Although he
had reached the most northerly land il
the world--naming it Cape Morris *
Jessup-at the tip Of Greenland, ant
had also attained latitude S4.17, the
northermost record in the western
world, he was still in great despair. HI
wrote in his diary:

teen years is ended. j have made th,
best fight I knew. / believe it, was ;

The method of attacking the pole was

made the final dash. They covered the

unfounded that peary's title as dis

The bitterness Of this episode is only
one item in the price which Peary paid
for the immortal fame that is now ac =

tually all he had in money. gave all
that was in him for hard work and
suffered all that the human frame could
endure from hunger, cold and disap-

the Arctic. spent upward of $500, ,000
and several times he barely escaped the
death which, in various forms, had been

impressive event.
The flags to be presented are now
on display in the windows of the c.
A. Love mercantile store. They are
two huge silk emblems of excellent
quality, mounted on gold stats.
They are declared TO be as fine pair
of flags as is possible to procure and
have elected much favorable COM
ment among local people.
These flags were secured by the
Masens at no little expense, and be-
cause OF the delay in arrival their
public presentation to the Legion
post has been necessarily delayed.
II. J. Weaver is given credit for hav-
ing inaugurated the move TO pre-
sent the flags to the ex-service men
here.
1t is probable that Hal G. Blue,
superintendent of the Twin Falls
school system, will be the main
speaker OF the occasion Sunday, the
final program having not yet been
definitely prepared.
The American Legion will have a
color guard and co or bearers, and
II the weather is warm, the program
