WHITNEY'S EXPERIENCES j
AS AN ARCTIC SPORTSMAN
DIED.
STONE October 8. at the family
residence on Bcatty street. Little Vio
let Stone, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Stone, aged .10 years, of lingering
consumption. Funeral services Sun
day at 2 p. m. at residence Inter
ment in Odd Fellows cemetery at 4
o'clock.
The fortunes of polar exploration
have -thrust Harry Whitney, the New
Haven sportsman, prominently into
the foreground of one the most
interesting controversies of history.
The mere fact that he was the first
white man who met the emaciated
Cook when tho latter was returning
from his polar search makes his tes
timony most important toward .set
tling the claims of the Brooklyn physician.-
Moreover, his shipping south
ward with Peary, after he was com
pelled to leave behind Dr. Cook's
instruments, serves only to aecenut
uate his importance in the eyes of the
world, divided as it is into rival Pea
ry and Cook camps.
But it should not be forgotten that
Mr. Whitney has, apart from his re
lations with Peary and Cook, won
some very honorable laurels as a
sportsman pioneer. Until Mr. Whit
ney set out for the arctic on his
hunt no sportsman had ever pene
trated into that waste and desolate
region. As a sportsman pure and
simple Mr. Whitney spent two years
above tho arctic circle having plan
ned his campaign for securing the
best of the arctic game as carefully
as Cook or Peary planned theirs.
The permanent survey of the Ore
gon Trunk railroad has now been es
tablished to a point within 48 miles
of Fort Klamath and the preliminary
survey is ten miles further. The
point at which the Pacific & Eastern
railroad will connect is some 20 miles
below Fort Klamath. The survey is
being made rapidly and running in
the direction of the proposed route
of the P. & E. through the Fish Lake
pass. Where the road will branch
if its builers plan to run through
Klamath Falls or Lakeview into Cal
ifornia is not known, but the survey
that has been made is headed
straight for Fort Klamath and the
Fish Lake pass in the Cascades,
which is acknowledged to be the out
let of the P. & E. into the Klamath
country.
One week ago the preliminary sur
vey was completed to Beaver niarsln.
There the work ended for the pres
ent, the crew of surveyors returning
to Corrall springs to take up the work
there and make the permanent loca
tion. This part of the work was com
menced three days ago and will be
completed within six weeks. " Two
crews are engaged in the permanent
location work one working between
Corrall- Springs and Rosland, and the
other between Rosland and Bend.
The line surveyed is one of the best
in the west. The maximum grade is
one per cent, with four degrees cur
vature. Corrall Springs is so--1'i, of
the mountain between Fort Kl"iath
and Bend, and would indicate that
the main desire of the Hill forces was
to get the right of way permanently
located through the Odell country,
which is the most difficult part of
the line. . y
No decision has been reached as to
when the work will be bgun south
of Bend. The original plan was to
afoit the completion of the road to
Bend, which will be done within six
teen months. A change in this pro
gram, however, is contemplated on
account of unexpected developments,
and it is not unlikely that as soon as
the surveyors complete their work
construction crows will be scattered
along the line between Bend and Cor
ral Springs.
J. J. McCIcllan, a railroad con
tractor, who has charge of some work
on the Pacific & Eastern, arrived in
the city from Spokane Saturday.
