Los Angeles herald., 1908-11-15

nR FREDERICK A. COOK of
~ Brooklyn, the searcher for the
north pole, who is we'll known to many
prominent Los Angeles people, is still
lost in the extreme north. He left New
York quietly and unostentatiously last
year, and was not heard from until
last August, when word came from
Etah, reenland, that DR.. Cook ac-
companied by two EslImos, and using
fifteen dogs, had left Cape Hubbard on
March II.
Cape Hubbard is charted only on the
latest maps of the Arctic section of
the world for it is, in a sense, a Jump
ing off place." In 1906, when returning
from his quest for the pole, Commander
Peary left the Roosevelt at Cape Sheri-
dan, Grant Land, and started for
pioneer exploration of the land beyond
that point, he ascertained that it's
extent lay more largely to the south
ward instead of northward as had been
supposed Near Cape Hubbard, Peary
observed to the northwest a new land,
which he named Crocker Land.
1t is supposed that the tempting
vagueness of this new Crocker Land
has called DR.. Cook, and it is supposed
that he is now camped in some archi-
pelagic valley of Ellesmere Land, where
he can find enough game to keep him
and his Eskimos alive. There is a
fascinating mystery about his where
abouts that will make news from him
of more than usual interest. His
friends are confident that his large
experience in Arctic and Antarctic
travel will enable him to take care of
himself, and that the next news from
him will be good news. as well as OF
value historically.
DR.. Cook was in advance of Com
mander Peary at Etah, Greenland
(where Peary recruits his ships with
Eskimos and dogs), and at Cape Hub
bard. which presumably is identical

THE RETORT LETHAL

n HE eyes are the baseball umpire's
staff of life. OF what use would
his knowledge and honesty be urI-
less he were absolutely certain of every
play that he rules upon? His sight,
near or far, must be discriminatory
accurate. He ceases to be an umpire
the moment his sight flickers.
Captain John McGraw of the Giants
was at bat one day in hard fought
game. The Chicago pitcher sent over
a wide one which John judged would
be a mere BALI to help him on his
way to first base, but the ball took a
sudden inshoot and barely cut the cor
ner of the plate as John stood idle.
"Str-r-rike one!" shouted the one
and only Tim Hurst, who was umpir-
ing.
Striker" shouted McGraw. Strike?
Why, you ush-headed old blankety-
b-z-z-z-z, you're losin' your lamps!"
"Cut that out about the lamps!" was
all Hurst said in reply.-Harper's
Weekly.

with Cape Thomas Hubbard, promon-
tory on the extreme northern shores of
North America. Captain Samuel Bart
lett. of the supply steamer Erik, which
has returned as far south as Newfound-
land, badly damaged by collision with
an iceberg, brings news that while DR..
Cook had not been seen at Etah when
the Erik left that port in August, word
had come that the Brooklyn man, ac-
companied by two Eskimos and fifteen
dogs, left Cape Hubbard on the 18th of
last March.
The latest maps of the Arctic re-
gions are required to show the signi-
ficance of this information. This
alluringly mysterious region seems
to extend considerably farther
north than any point in Grant Land;
and of course it is possible, though it
is not probable, that is reaches to the
pole. Is it this vague outline of shore
that has tempted DR.. Cook to traverse
Ellesmere Land, King Oscar Land and
Axel Heiberg Land and start across the
polar ice from Cape Hubbard? Or did
he select This unusual route merely be-
cause it would take him well to the
westward and so enable him to over
come the eastward drift of the ocean
ice?
DIR. Cook was late if he started from
Cape Hubbard on the 18th of March.
When Peary set forth from Point Moss,
Grant Land in 1906, for his dash across
the ice pack it was only about March l,
and he had too little time as it was be-
fore the great white expanse began to
separate into dangerous floes. Yet it
is possible that the Brooklyn explorer,
taking leaf out of Peary's experience,
made better progress than he and pene-
trated farther than S7.06, the navy Of
fiers extreme northing That Cook has
not yet been heard from is of little
significance. 1t is easily conceivable
that he did not return to Grant Land

in time to reach Etah, on the west
Greenland coast this season. With the
help of the Esl1imos he should be able
to provide himself with abundant

while his training is not as varied as

EVIDENCE BUSINESS REVIVAL,
St. Paul Road Plans Orders for New
Equipment.

Chicago, April 14.-Orders for new
equipment seem to be increasing In
number and are taken as slight evil
dence of business revival The st.
Paul road has issued orders for the
construction of $500 freight cars in
its own shops in Milwaukee. Some
of these cars doubtless will be used
on the roads extensions to the Pa
cific coast, and further orders are
probable, as the road must increase
it's equipment considerably in order to
take care of the additional traffic
from it's new lines. 1t has placed or
ders for 1000 tons of car axles and
iron to be used in the construction of
it's cars.
Besides the st. Paul, the Lehigh
and New England road has ordered
from the Cambria Steel company $50
all-steel gondola cars, and from the
American Car and Foundry company
$50 steel underframe cars. A num-
Der of other smaller orders have been
placed recently, and an improved
feeling has been created thereby.

be the Illinois Central branch between
Chicago and Council Bluffs, Ia, and

4.459 miles and an authorized and out
standing capital of $105, 040, 600. The
total bonded debt on June 30, 1906 was

porated in Illinois in 1850 and under
the terms of the charter the road pays

It was recalled that when Mr.. Har-
riman undertook to manage the Union
Pacific and Central Pacific roads pre-
dictions a-plenty were made that ne

money he was putting into the road
would be wasted and no results would
be shown for many years to come.
Yet the point was made thai at this
moment, through the dogged determl-
nation Of Hartman, these roads nave
been conspicuously successful ana
have piled up an enormous surplus.

TO MAKE GLASS.
Fires Have Been Started at the
Chanute Plant.
Work Will Begin as Soon as the
Big Tank Gets Hot.
RAISED THE FINANCES
RAISED THE FINANCES
Had Trouble for a Time Secur-
ing the Needed Money.
In Meantime the Works Have
Been Put in Condition.

Chanute. April 14.-Fire has been
started in the Chanute Window Glass
plant and work will begin as soon as
the big tank gets hot. This will take
about two weeks so that actual work
will begin in less than fifteen days.
This will be glad news to everyone
in Chanute, and especially to the en-
ployes of the company. The fire here
has been out nearly a year. the plant
shutting down early last season. No
limit has been placed on the time that
the present fire will last. It will be
kept going as long as the men want
to work-carried into July, if the
weather does not become too hot be-
fore that time. A glass plant is a
warm place at times of the year when
the temperature is moderate, and
when the hot season comes the men
are compelled to quit because of the
heat
The starting of the plant has been
delayed this season by two causes
the controversy between the glass
manufacturers association and the
glass workers union over the wage
schedule, and the financial situation.
The latter has been more of a him
drance than the former.
1t was not until recently, however,
that the money necessary to carry
the pay roll and market the product
was secured. 1t was raised by bond
ing the plant for $4,000. Half Of the
issue was subscribed for by Chanute
investors and half by out-of-town in
vestors. This places the plant on a
better financial basis than it has ever
had since it began operations better,
in fact, than that of any other glass
plant in the Kansas gas field.
During the time that the plant was
shut down it has been overhauled and
repaired. SO that 1t is in excellent con-
dition. While this years fire will
necessarily be a short one, because of
the lateness at which it starts, it is
planned to begin early and run late
next season to make up for the time
lost this year.
The employees, most Of them, have
secured employment in the other
plants in this part of Kansas and are
scattered all over this corner of the
state. They have been awaiting anx-
iously the news that work would
start here, and now that 1t has gone
forth they will begin to come home.

SUNDAY CLOSING IMPROBABLE.
The Atchison Council Is Said TO Be

Atchison, Kan, April 14.-It is I'M

to be introduced by Alderman Long.
1t is said that the movement will re-
ceive even less support than was offer

down a similar ordinance by decisive
vote.
Mr.. Long is determined to push his
measure to the limit and expresses
confidence in the result.

issued following a complaint made
when young boy lost considerable
