This Country of of in the story not only of Peary's Journey to the north pole but also of a remarkably fast sledge trip over the Ice of the open polar sea The dispatch says that the Roosevelt passed the winter of at Cape Sheridan on the coast of Grant Land The vessel had threaded the comparatively narrow channels several hundreds of miles In length leading from Cape Sabine to the Arctic ocean This Journey is apt to be difficult and sometimes impossible but the conditions were evidently favorable The ship that disappeared in the fog while the crew of Peary’s auxiliary steamer Erik were watching Its departure from Etah made a good passage through the long channels' and arrived safely on the shores of the sea where the explorer was to start on his sledges for the north pole But at Cape Sheridan Peary was not as far west as he probably had hoped to be He had announced his intention in the previous year of making his sledge route to the pole along some meridian much further to the west of his route In 1906 when he made the highest north attained up to that time — 87 d 6 m On that occasion he was greatly Impeded by the rapid drift of the ice to the east which a little retarded his progress north and worse still carried him so far to the east that he had to make his landing on the coast of North Greenland many days’ march from the Roosevelt his base of supplies On his expedition of he tried hard to force the Roosevelt a good distance to the west of Cape Sheridan but the ice baffled him For one reason or another on the edge of the arctic winter last year he did not or could not take his vessel along the northern coast of Grant Land to the west of Cape Sheridan and so 16 spent last winter not so far from itys old berth in the ice in the winter of 1903-It is no wonder that it took the party 15 days to travel westward as far as Cape Columbia It is likely however that Commander Peary succeeded before winter set in in cacheing supplies to the westward so as to acmovecelerate a little the westward ment of the sledge party before it struck out northward over the sea on Arriving at Cape Columbia March 15 the sledges turned to the north on the sea ice The explorer had laid much stress upon the fact that he intended to travel much further to the west than on his trip in 1906 His dispatch shows however that he did not take to the sea any farther to the west than he did on his earlier trip Commander Peary says nothing in his report of being detained by pressure ridges or hummocks and it is certain that he met with no impedlment of this sort such as made his attempt to reach the pole in 1902 a continuous and terrible strugggle A great obstacle and the one that him from undoubtedly prevented reaching the pole in 1906 was the wide water Janes or leads of water some of them so long that he could not get around them Peary’s summary seems to show that he was a little over thirty-fivdays on the journey from the land to the north pole In this time he was delayed about fourteen days by watei leads leaving a little more than three weeks for the actual sledging work Five years ago Dr McCutcheon brought 50 birds of each variety from a private Liverpool and established aviary at his home The first winter he lost half his flock but when spring came he released the remainder and soon reports came to him of observations being made to prove that his imported birds were nesting Every year since he has imported more trfrds and this spring released 500 birds of seven varieties "There is a lack of singing birds in the Puget Sound country” said Dr McCutcheon “and the first thing a wide the stranger notices about stretches of timber land in the west is the absence of singing birds The great forests of tall trees are as still as a church auditorium and not a jay disturbs the quiet — Tacoma Ledger Dr Charles McCutcheon a wealthy has retired physician of Tacoma maintained for the last five years a large aviary in which he rears song
