separately and independently, and
were corroborated by Panikpah. the
father of one of them G-took-a-shoo)
who was personally familiar with the
first third and the last third of their
journey, and who said that the route
for the remaining third, as shown by
them, was as described to him by his
son after his return with Dr. Cook.
To go more into details: One of
the boys was called in, and, with a
chart on the table before him, was
asked to show where he had gone
with DR.. Cook. This he did, pointing
out with his finger on the map. but
not making any marks upon It,
AS he went out, the other boy came
IN and was asked to show where he
had gone with DR.. Cook. This he did
also without making any marks, and
indicated the same route and the
same details as did the first boy.
When he was through, Panikpah.

of Eskimos that came back from DR.

INTRODUCTION BY PEARY.

Some Of my reasons for saying that
DR.. Cook did not 90 to the north pole
will be understood by those who read
the following statements OF the two
Eskimo boys who went with him, and
who told me and others of my party
where he did go. Several Eskimos
who started with DR.. Cook from An
oratok in February, 1908, were at
Etah when ! arrived there in August,
1908 They told me that DR.. Cook had
with him, after they left, two Eskimo
boys, or young men, two sledges and
some twenty dogs. The boys were
Itooka-shoo and Ah-pe-lah. had
known them from their childhood
One was about eighteen and the other
about nineteen years of age.
On my return from Cape Sheridan
and at the very first settlement |
touched (Nerke, near Cape Chalon) in
August, 1909, and nine days before
reaching Etah, the Eskimos told me,
in a general way, where Dr. Cook had
been; that he had wintered in Jones
Sound, and that he had told the white
men at Etah that he had been a long
way north, but that the boys who were
with him, I-took-a-shoo and Ah-pe-lah,
said that this was not so. The Eski-
mos laughed at DR.. Cooks story On
reaching Etah, l talked with the Es-
KINDS there and with the two boys
and asked them to describe DR.. Cooks
journey to members of my marty and
myself. This they did in the manner
stated below.

OBJECT TO PARS0NA6E VALUATION
Presbyteriams Deem the Amount q
Fixed BY Condemnation Board
Is Far Toolow.

Rev. Henry E. Net, c. &. Hen
dricks, Norman Mcdonald and J. 8
Sutherland appeared before the city
council Tuesday evening in behalf
of the Presbyterian Society in 4
protest against the amount fixed BY
the com mission in nf:condemuatiou
proceedings on the parsonage
property in Block AZ, a portion oi
the tract condemnedby the city o.
tensibly for park purposes.
The property embraces three lote
and the manse, on the best 'corne,
in the tract, and the valuation placed
thereon was $,975.O. The speakers
proclaimed they had; no desire to in
any manner interfere with augh,
for the progress or beatification OF
the city, but contended the price ae
named, in comparison with other
property in the city, was from 1900
to 81, 500 too low.
The deed to this property is the
only one not yet turned over to the
city. and technicality in the law 10
alleged to exist whereby it may be
possible for the society to retain
possession of the property unless
an amicable adjustment of the diff
ference can be secured. The society
has, since the placing of the ap
praisal named, hunted assiduously
for new site for their manse, and
base their valuation upon figures
obtainable for suitable sites else
where.
The question of raise in the
price to be paid was taken under
advisement by the council, and an
investigation of the merits of the
claim made. The communication
from the park board presented at
the previous meeting aud laid on
the table, asking for formal trans
fer from the city to the park CON-
mission, was permitted to remain
on the table without action. The
statement by Rev. Neff, however,
that he had been served by the
chief of police with a notice from
the park commission to vacate, dur
ing the week, would make it appear
the park board already considered
the title to the property az one of
it's vested rights,
