FOR DOUBTING COOK MORE

ST. JOHNS, N. IF, Sept 49,
Harry Whitney believes that both
DR.. Cook and Commander Peary

said he knows no reason for doubt

The schooner Jeanie arrived here

trip and now finds himself jim the

DR.. Cook left with him at Anna
took several cases containing instru-
ments and some other belongings,
but SO far as Mr.. Whitney knew, no
written records. There may have
been records, however, packed with
DR.. Cooks personal effects, but the
explorer did not tell him he was
leaving written records in his possess
sion.
Speaking of DR.. Cooks detailed ac-
count of his trip, Mr.. Whitney said,
Cook showed him how the western
drift of the ice had landed him in
a region far remote from where he
expected to go, and he was unable to
get back he could not speak with
authority as to whether Cook and his
two Eskimos could carry on their
three sledges enough food for their
journey to the Pole as he himself is
novice in Arctic travelling.
He declared he knew nothing of
the controversy beyond vague details.
The first he heard of it was at Indian
Harbor, when he received messages
from several newspapers asking for
a statement.

Leach Bothers, of Cherry Creek,
have purchased the store building,

The following estate is included in

months ago and when they were un-
able to meet their obligations, their
assets were taken over by the Utah
Credit men, The store was conducted
under their management for some
time, until it was sold to the Leach
Brothers. The building was formerly
the property of George Kennedy the
pioneer merchant of the Cherry
Creek district.
Leach Brothers are we'll known

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 29.-

and Professor Asaph Hall, Jr., SON
of the astronomer who first discover

other points, he has hope of some
interesting scientific discovery.
Mars at this time is fairly high
on the horizon and under ordinarily
fair conditions in this latitude. ex-
cellent observations should be rec
orded of the surface markings and
polar caps. While interest was
heightened in the observations by
reason of the planet running in
closer to the earth than at any other
time, the astronomical experts of the

moons of Mars and will continue in
that work probably for a month or
more. The Polar cap has taken up
less of their time, although some
very good observations have been
made with a view to determining the
size of that feature of Mars and of
other markings as we'll. The statel-
lites are rather close to the planet,
and some very curious disturbances
exercised by the planet including
rather remarkable parallelizing ef-
fects, have been noted.
To observers studying different
portions of Mars, the inner moon ap-
pears in quite different positions in
the sky This moon, while in the
glare of the planet most of the time
occupies only seven hours and half
in its revolution, while the planet
itself is a slow mover, turning on its
axis In about 23 hours.
This is one of the unique features
of the solor system. According to
scientists accepting the nebular
hypothesis, 1t is probable that this
satellite was once part of the planet
and that the total mass revolved in
a shorter time. Observations show
the inner moon is quite bright as
it gets little away from the planet.
The outer moon observations are
expected to prove of considerable
value in determining Mars. The

was to transfer few things and re-
build the house at Annatook.
Boatswain Murphy's only reason
for refusing to help Captain Bernier's s
Canadian expedition to get dogs and
sledges at Etah was that they were
short of dogs themselves. Mr.. Whit
ney had trouble in getting enough
dogs for his teams all through the
winter and Murphy was looking out
for Peary, SO that he would have
sufficient dogs for the Commander s

when he returned from the north.

POINT FOR PEARY.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29..F. w.
Perkins, acting chief of the coast and
geodetic survey and head of the
Geographic Society, criticises Peary's
statement that he took moon obser-
vations'' at SO deg. 81 min. He de-
clares that Peary could not accurately
determine moon" so near the pole.
1t is an interesting point and If 1t
were anything but statement of a
general principle would be unwise.
Mr.. Perkins is one of the leading gov
ernment officials who will pass on
Peary's records at Washington.
