 foot open canoe studying the Eskimo from Hopedale to KilHnek (lat. 60° 

 N.)- He is a member of the American Geographical Society and of the

The following are some of the principal items of the outfit that must be 

 provided for this expedition: three years' provisions for five white men 

 with their helpers and dogs, much of which, particularly- the pemmican, 

 has to be especially prepared and packed; suitable clothing; instruments 

 for all kinds of observations and records; photographic supplies including 

 a camera for moving pictures ; a power boat for use in Flagler Bay and in 

 crossing to Etah; salary of physician and wages of cook and helpers; a 

 steamship to take the party to Flagler Bay in 1912 and another to go up 

 for it in 1914. 



It is estimated that not less than fifty thousand dollars ^ must be provided 

 for the absolute needs of the expedition, in order to enable it to accomplish 

 the valuable results that have been outlined above, and this in spite of the 

 fact that Messrs. Borup and AlacMillan generously serve the expedition 

 without salary during the period of its absence from New York.
