SPENDS HIS OWN FORTUNE Looking for $25,000 Roosevelt to Be Changed In Many Ways, No tably In Her Boilers Profits by Lessons of Last Trip. NEW YORK. June 7. (Special.) Can fldent of his ability to carry the stars and stripes to the north pole. Commander Robert E. Peary, who has planted the American flag nearer the coveted north ern goal than any other living man, is In New York making active prepara tions for another Arctic dash in the hope of solving the mystery of the North, which for centuries has been the aim cf daring explorers. The staunch steamer Roosevelt, which the Peary Arctic Club built for Commander Peary, and which curled htm and his little party on his last northward journey, has been over hauled and put in better condition than ever for her expected battles with the ice barriers cf the frozen Nortn. The ship Is tugging at her hawsers in the harbor of New York, ready to start when her commander gives the word. Peary's present plans contemplate his departure from New York about July 1, but lack of sufficient funds to finance the expedition may prevent the start. In fact, unless $25,000 is forthcoming by July the project will have to be aban doned. An auxiliary ship or, collier will accompany the Roosevelt . as far north as Etah, where Peary's coal depot in the last expedition was located. Etah was the Winter quarters of Dr. Hayes' last expedition and is located about 70 de grees north latitude. A small party of sportsmen and scientists may go North as far as Etah on the auxiliary ship, returning with her about September 1. Used His Personal Fortune. Commander Peary has devoted nearly 20 years to efforts to solve the great problems of the North and already has put into the work all of his personal means, amounting to $80,000. He has a greater experience in Arctic work and n more complete knowledge of details than any other man living. His work and objects have the hearty indorsement of President Roosevelt, who says that failure properly to equip his expedition will be "a real misfortune from a Na tional standpoint." Peary Is hopeful that the comparatively small sum necessary to complete the exploration fund may ba raised in time to permit him to carry out his plans, and he is now exerting every energy to secure the remaining money needed. Peary expects to accom plish the journey to the pole in 15 months, but will take with him supplies for a three years' stay. "One very important result of my last expedition as bearing upon the success of the coming one," said Commander Peary, "is the distinct improbability that conditions in the comparatively short distance of 200 miles between my furthest north point and the pole itself will bd in any way different from the conditions encountered by me for the last 100 miles of my journey. If conditions' are no worse in the next season than they were during the last voyage, I shall hope to accomplish the objects of the expedition and return in about 15 months in Octo ber, 1909. I ought, however, to have supplies and equipment for a stay of three years. Change in Boiler Equipment. "The principal change in the Roosevelt has been in connection with her boiler battery. On her last voyage this battery comprised one Scotch boiler of 500 horse power and two Almy water tube boilers of 250 horse power each.v I recognized that these boilers were in the nature of an experiment for the kind of work ex pected, but the great saving in weight, which meant the ability to carry more coal, was a strong temptation to give them a trial. Unfortunately these boil ers went out of commission the third day out from Sydney and as a result the work done by the Roosevelt in her last voyage was done with one-half her de signed boiler power. I now have two new 600 horse power Scotch hollers, which are likely to remain in commis sion throughout the entire voyage. The new boilers are also arranged athwart ship instead of fore and aft. as In the previous installation, with the fire-room forward of the boilers-. This arrange ment makes the entire main hold a bun ker ar.d permits feeding coal direct from the hold to the fire-room. The deck house forward, forming quarters for the crew In the previous voyage, has been removed and the ship has been given a top gallant fo' castle running back to the main hatch This arrangement more than doubles the accommodations for ward and gives ample space for housing my Eskimo contingent comfortably. The Roosevelt has also been given a large square sail on the foremast with a hoist ing yard to enable her to better utilize a stern breeze. Captain to Select Crew. "Captain Robert A. Bartlett, of Brigus. N. F., my sailing master on my last voyage, will serve again and he will select his mate, bo'sun and sailors from among the best of the Newfoundland sealers. George Wardwell, of Bucks port, Me., will again accompany the ex pedition as chief engineer, and his as sistants and firemen will be Americans selected after rigid examination physi cally, morally and with respect to their ability in their line. The total number aboard on leaving here will probably be 20 the same as formerly. Charles Percy, my steward on two previous voyages, will go again, as will also Mathew Hen son, my colored" assistant. My surgeon Is yet to be selected. I shall take aboard from 20 to 25 of the most effective Eski mo hunters and dog-drivers, who will be accompanied by their wives and chil dren, which will make the Eskimo con tingent going North from the Whale Sound region from 40 to 50. I shall re quire from 200 to 250 dogs. "At the present time I am constantly In receipt of letters from would-be vol unteers from all over the country, who do not appreciate that the bulk of my party will be selected by my captain. Nine out of every 10 of these applicants state that the writer doesn't know how to do anything, but is willing to learn, and to do anything that may be required. Tomorrow and Wednesday will posi tively be the last days for discount on West Side gas bills. Portland Gas Com The letter "e" occurs on an average of 137 times in a thousand words.
