A. Cook, in a lecture under the aus

passages which have been criticised
for their lack of detail.
"Harry Whitney," he said, "asked
me to entrust to him as a special favor
the flag that I planted at the north
pole. He expected, then, an American
ship to call for him. For this reason I
added to the flag my instruments anil
certain of my records."

Bar Harbor. Me., Sept. 2S.—Com
mander Robert E. Peary, accompanied
by his wife, reached here from Port

He's In Spokane and Conser

PRESIDENT DOWN IN MINE
Wrench That the Chief Executive Gave
His Ankle at Beverly Bothers Hfm
Slightly Now—Golf Club of Copper,
Silver and Gold, Given to the White
House Occupant, Is Inscribed as Fol
lows: "Champion 1909-1914 and
Then Some."
Spokane, Wash., Sept. 28.—It is ex
pected that President Taft in this city
today will deliver his speech on con
servation. It was his intention to
speak on this subject in Denver. Since
leaving Colorado he has had confer
ences with Secretary Balllnger, and
Chief Forester Pinchot and it is ex«
pected that the differences which caus
ed these aids of the administration to
see one another without speaking in
Salt Lake City will be discussed by
their chief.
Attired in a linen duster, an old
black slouch hat and swinging an elcc
trlc lantern at his side, the president
was locked in a narrow iron cage and
dropped 1,200 feet through midnight
blackncss into the depths of the
famous Old Leonard copper mine at
Butte. He had the rare experience of
seeing miners at work with a giant
drill in a vein of high grade ore that
sparkled green with' its wealth of
mineral.
Close to Mine Fire.
During his journey through the mine
the president was within seventy-five
feet of a fire which has been burning
for four years and which has defied all
efforts to extinguish it.
Taft walked with a limp when he
first got off the train at Anaconda, the
result of a sprained tendon In his right
foot. The sprain was acquired at
Beverly, but this was the first time it
bothered him. The injury is not seri
ous.
At Butte the president was pre
sented with a full sized golf club—a
driver—made of copper, silver and
gold, the three nietals that have made
the Butte camp famous. On the head
of the driver the following inscription
was engraved:
William Howard Taft, Champion
1909-1913—and then some."
In his remarks at Butte the presi
dent said:
Mentions His 300 Pounds.
'To come out to this awful looking
desert from the green fields of the east
and see a city spring up like magic
out of what is seemingly nothing, is a
revelation in the hosslbillties of Ameri
can manhood and American energy. I
am going to visit your city under
ground. I am going to assume that
you have a rope that is strong enough
to let down 300 pounds. I am going to
see that wonderful system of galleries
from which you have taken the wealth
that has been a marvel to the world."
TAFT IS SUPPORTING BANNARD

"I kepi my records under watch

"Harry Whitney did not tell me

dairy paper in Iowa. It not only covers
its own state and the great dairy work

best dairy paper I liaye seen.—M. B. Gideon,
