It is desirable to have information bear ing on the number of miles of new road built since then, the character and kind of road and the different kind of material used. The inspectors are, therefore, now working on this data, and will submit it to the com missicn within the next few weeks, It is believed much general infor mation can be procured in this way, and that data of véry great value can be compiled out of the experiences, both good and bad, of the various counties. Up to this time the com mission has been busied with system atizing the work, and getting the camps into working shape. Ou the wall of the commission aud ience chamber hangs a map, which shows the exact location of every county convict camp in the state. A green dot shows felony camps and red dots misdeameanor camps. There are now 140 camps in the state, al though only 107 counties work con victs on the road. Thirty-nine coun ties, and the majority of these in the northern part of the state where the mountain counties lie, are with out convicts, renting their quota to other counties, It is said, however, that the widespread good roads move ment has inspired several of these to emulation, and in a short time they will demand their quota, Through the middle section of the state the map shows the camps stud ded more thickly than anywhere else, some counties maintaining four, three and two camps, Road building is ad vancing very rapidly in this section, and the report from there is expected to be especially good. From the general reports made to the pricon commission general results over the state from road building movements are very gratifying, Many counties are bending every resource for fine pikes, in many instances sup plementing by large sums the ordi nary expense of maintaining the con vict labor, : It is the opinion of the commission ers that the reports to be made by the inspectors will be of great value, and will make a showing that will be in the nature of amazing to many who have not kept posted on the movement, Very little trouble is reported at any of the camps and the general health of the convicts is excellent.

GA., SEPTEMBER 16. 1909, Dr. Cook and Commander Pafirv Are Hurrying Home to Place Claims Before Authorities—Peary’s Report Substantiation of Cook’s Speed Claims. New York City.—Details of Mr. Robert E. Peary's journey to the North Pole, as gleaned from the ex pedition now at Battle Harbor, Labra dor, on its return, and cabled here, show that Mr. Peary had one man less at the highest point north on hi. journey than Dr. Frederick Cook had. Dr. Cook reports that he had two Ks kimos with him when he discovered the pole. The only man to reach the pole with Mr. Peary was a lone Kskimo, Eging Wah, by name, St. Johns, N. F.—Allen Whitten, who was boatswain of the Peary aux iliary steamer Erik in 1905 and again in 1908, adds his quota to the polar controversy, On his expeditions he naturally saw much of Peary and knew of Peary’'s plans. He was algo on the Erik in the summer of 1907 when she lay for a week in Sydney, alongside the schooner John R. Brad ley, in which Dr. Cook was starting for the Pole, the Erik that year £O - to Hudson Bay for the Canadian government, Whitteh says that the Bradley was abundantly equipped for Cook’s expe dition, having supplies for at least three years. He confirms the charge made by Dr. Cook at Copenhager that Peary’s people took Cook’s pro visions, adding that not only did the crew of the ship take Cook's stores .‘. -‘ R = 3 Tvy N m . ; i:‘\\- ,// ; :";‘ o > ,‘,: \ ( ‘ 1g e \'"n /‘ ’ \il el DU VIR Be\ PN oo AN BRNEAMIINGSCy” £ } ’o"\‘\.’v'f"i;}'.‘:'-‘ o\ o R Gy oy ey | Rl \(INGE oAI R\ XX oL .

He took observations with great care; made soundings, but failed to touch bottom and made a careful de tour df the immediate polar ciiele, A most important item of the ac count is Peary’s statement that in 12 hours he once covered 40 miles, Fault had been found by critics with Dr. Cook’s claims of averaging fifteen miles a day on his dash north. Scientists declared that Dr. Cook’s story is both corroberated and dis credited by Commander Robert . Peary’s account, A striking similarity in the descrip tion of the Arctic fields beyond the 88th parallel of latitude and within the very shadow of the pole in the narratives of the two explorers—a vividly similar description, of the smooth, glacial surfaces and the rap id time these conditions enabled both men to make, went far to shatter the skepticism concerning Cook's ex ploit and yet in the matter of tem perature the figures are different, Mr. Peary glving the temperature at 40 degrees bhelow zero, while Dr. Cook placed it at 83 degrees below—a vast discrepancy, Beyond the 89th latitude the tem perature rose 15 degrees, according to Peary. Cook made no mention of warmer weather, 8o identically do certain details bear out the state ments of Dr. Cock that scientists and geographers who had held aloof from the controversy declared their faith in the physician-explorer's story,while of course crediting Commander Pea ry’s story and using it as a basis of comparison, In the matter of temperature, the biggest discrepancy exists, Peary speaks of the temperature ranging from 33 degrees to 12 on April 7, the day he left the pole. Dr. Cook's fig- DR. COOK MAKES FIRST CRITICISM OF PEARY’S TRIP Copenhagen, Denmark, — Astonish ing speed of 26.7 miles for nine days made by Commander Peary on his dash over the ice plains to the pole, according to the figures which he has cabled to America and Europe, was pointed out by Dr. Frederick A. Cook and his supporters as the first link in the chain of corroborative evidence by which Cook hopes to reinstate hig claim to the world Commander Peary’s summary of his trip shows that he made the final two hundred and thirty-nine miles 10 tu pole in thirteen days. Cook claims, he made two hundred and twenty-six miles over the ice in fifteen days and his claim met with ridicule, ‘,':ures ranged fully 50 degrees lower ‘After leaving the 88th parallel, Peary '.lset out alone in his dog sledge, leav ing the other members of the party to break camp and follow him, i Peary’s description of the ice fields beyond the 88th parallel bears out Cook’s description. The surface, says The Times account, was smooth and level as a glacial fringe, broken only .'pccas!onally with ridges and with very little open water. The dogs were able to proceed at a gallop and in one run of ten hours immediately after passing the 88th parallel Peary made 20 miles. ~ At the 89th parallel the tempera ture was 40 degrees below zero. Pass ing the 89th parallel Peary made 25 miles in a single dash in a bitter wind so cold that the flesh cracked and even the Kskimos complained. ig‘eyond the 89th the scene was som ;:er, the horizon smoky and gray, the desolation indescribable. ‘ . Not a living thing in sight and the golitude broken only, by the groaning of the greenish ice floes over which the sledge sped. Cook had called it 4 desolate spot—the solitude unbrok én and the silence and loneliness op pressive. As Peary proceeded the going grew Dbetter and faster time was made—another important feature completely vindicating Dr. Cook and bearing out, apparently, his narra tive completely. In 12 hours the Peary party was able to make 40 miles. There was not a single stretch of open water to hinder the march, The goal was almost in sight, Commander Peary took observa tions at frequent intervals, until he had established his feat. The com: mander had realized the ambition of his life: he was at the North Pole. A detour of some eighteen miles was made about the pole, observa tions being taken almost continuous 1y to establish not only proof of the discovery but for scientific values sub sequently, | On the afternoon of April 7, the day after the pole had been discov ered, a sounding,was made five miles from the North Pole.

Dr. Cook’s plan to send a ship frouw Cepenhagen to Greenland to bring back to civilization his two Kskimo companions on his ewpedition trip wil not be carried out until next year as Danish officials have informed him that it isß now too late in the season for a trip to Etah, The expedition, It is stated, will be started early next spring, In sclentific circles, both in Ameri ca and abroad, the prevailing inclina tion seems to be to awail direct word from both explorers before arriving at.a conclusion as to their respective achievements, ang although a beliger ent attitude was still preserved in the two camps, open hostilities were largely suspended, P R PEARY’S RAPID TRAVELING SUBSTANTIATES COOK'S CLAIMS New York City.—Sclentists and ex plorers here comparing the latest qig patches regarding Commander Peary's achievement with the reports which Dr. Cook has sent out, were very generally agreed that Peary's find ings scem to confirm Dr, Cook’s story ik geveral significant particulars, and thud tar raise no points of disagree ment, The scientists were more pos #ive than ever that the controversy can be reltled beyond reasonable doubt by an inquiry before a 4 recog nized sclentiic body.
