Late this afternoon Mr. Taft stood on the brink of the deepest irrigation ditch in all the west and far out in the foothills, with not a settlement in sight, made the electrical connec- tion which started a flow of water ihrough the Gunnison tunnel that will reclaim 140,000 ‘acres of arid land.

He was quite prepared to believe’ that Dr. Cook had been at the pole, and, he added, if he could have Dr. Cook’s isstruments and ob- servations for a month to work at, he could telt for certain whether Dr. Cook had been there or noto.

The Charge of Insufficient Equipment. Another “ criticism is the charge of our insufficient equipment. We have met this. You know that we had every possible aid to success in sledge trav- eling. A big ship is no,advantage. An army of white/men, who at best are movices, is a distinct hindrance, while a4 cumbersome luxury of equipment is fatal to progress. We chose to live a life as simple as that of Adam we forced the strands of human en ance to scientific limits. If you will reach the pole there is no other way- For our simple needs Mr.. Bradley fur- nished sufficient funds. We were not overburdened with the usual aids of pleasure and comfort, but I did not start for that purpose.
