A r Hoard, Jefferson county road
commissioner, was here last Monday to
measure the amount of permanent road
built in the town of Oakland. The
stretch covered was $3.50 feet, or some
thing over one and one-half miles.
A small blaze in J A Scobie's black
smith shop created little excitement
in that portion of the village on Thurs
day afternoon of last week. Peter Oh
son had been in the shop to clean his
motorcycle with gasoline and the floor
became saturated with the inf1amable
liquid. While Mr. Scobie was working
at the forge a spark ignited the floor
and the blaze was the result. A buck
ct brigade was quickly formed and the
fire was put out without the aid of the
fire department.
Knud Henderson had a narrow es-
cape from injury on Thursday after
noon of last week. He was coming to
town with team hitched to the trucks
of a wagon and was riding on the reach.
When crossing the railroad track the
horses became frightened of the loco
motive standing at the depot and start
ed to run. In his attempt to stop the
horses, Mr. Henderson endeavored to
turn them up Mill street, but the turn
could not be made soon enough and the
team ran into the corner of 7 Slagg'
& Co.'S store. Mr. Henderson was
thrown to the hard pavement and both
horses We're thrown to the ground.
After the mix-up was Strengthened out
it was found that there was no damage
done, but it was miraculous escape,
to say the least.

man, completed its investigation some
days ago, and its report has been
written and signed. The verdict. ac-
cording to Professor Saville, will be
submitted to the directors of the Ex-
plorers' club at a meeting next Fri.
day.
While Professor Saville did not
make any denial when asked if the
report was true that the decision will
be unfavorable to Dr. Cook, from an
other source information came that
the committee had been unable t0 sat
isfy itself that the explorers asser-
ton that he scaled Mount Mckinley
had been sustained by any evidence
committee reports decisively against
him, he will be expelled and his
name stricken from the club records.
Professor Saville was asked If the
committee had been able to get all
the evidence it sought.
1--WE have gone thoroughly into the
investigation; right to the bottom of
it, and our own report will be based
on what we found out" was the reply
1t was recalled to Professor Saville
that DR.. Cook, appearing before the
committee last October, had promised
to respond at any time the investiga
tors desired and explain the points
that might need clearing up. He
never went before the committee after
that, and disappeared from the city
month ago without notifying the
committee. This appeared distinct
violation of his word, and Professor
Saville was asked if the doctors &C
zion had in any was embarrassed the
committee.
You may judge that for yourself
was the reply. we did expect DR.
Cook to come before us. We extend
ed the invitations to him as a matte
of fairness to him and he did not avail
himself to it,"

At the home of Mr.. and Mrs. George

day, Dec. 8, occurred the marriage of
theiI niece, Eugenia Mcmillan to Earl
Mckinstry, the ceremony being per-

The home was very prettily decorat-
ed for the occasion with evergreen
boughs and ribbon festoonings of white
and pink. At 80 the bridal party
entered; Misses Alice McKinstry and
Ada Lincoln acting as bridesmaids,
and Walter and Hoar Harry Millerisa
groomsmen. The bride was given
away by her uncle, George Miller, after
which Judge Perkins in his own. origi-
nal way pronounced the words which
united two happy hearts for life Then
followed hearty congratulations and
good wishes after which the assembled
guests were seated to bountiful we'd
ding dinner to which they did ample
justice.
The closest relations and friends of
the contracting parties were present.
Earl has been in the stockraising
business here for the past seven years
and is very favorably known by a large
circle of friends. The bride is a very
estimable young lady and the best
wishes of the Courier and a host Of

| began to weaken decidedly when
DR.. Cook left us all without so much
as a goodbye. When a man runs
away you can't expect his friends to
fight for him, and Cooks flight-for
that's what it seemed to me to
amount to--killed all my interest in
him and his affairs. Before that
never had reason to doubt Cook and
his whole course in the matter seems

Sick of the Whole Thing.
'I am sick of the whole blooming
polar business and l don't want to
hear anything more about the North
pole or any of its attributes was the
characteristic way in which Mr.. Brad
ley summed up his attitude.
Charles Wake, DIR. Cooks closest
personal friend and the only person
beside the doctors brother who knew
the whereabouts of the explorer in the
last few weeks, was dumbfounded
when informed of the verdict reached
by the University of Copenhagen.
Mr.. Wake gasped for breath and
dropped the telephone receiver.
This is such a severe blow to me
that | cannot fully appreciate it," said
Mr.. Wake when he had partly recov-
cred his composure. Il had every
confidence in Dr. Cook. Yet l am we'll
acquainted with the authorities of the
University of Copenhagen and l know
that any verdict they reach is Just
and true.
DIR. Cook never expected this adj
verse decision l know, for he always
spoke with full confidence that the
professors would decide that he had
gone TO the pole

think of my old friend, DR.. Cook.

JOHN r. BRADLEY.

With these words, Commander Rob-
sentiments regarding the failure of
the University of Copenhagen to find
proof of the discovery of the north
pole by DR.. Cook.
Not SO much as the faintest suspic-
ion of smile illuminated his stern
face, but his eyes lighted up with the
welcome knowledge of vindication
which had come to him after difficult
trials.
Il have known the outcome of this
since weeks before l reached this
country on my return from the pole
1t was not a matter Of belief with
me, but of absolute knowledge.
However,, l shall not discuss this
matter in detail for publication 1t is
not necessary.
THE warning which l sent to the
country before / landed is still suffi-
cient. You remember my cablegram
from Battle Harbor? Here is the ex-
act wording of it:
"'Cook has not been to the
pole April 81, 1908, or any other
| date.
He has simply handed the
public gold brick"
With this Commander Peary declin.
ed TO discuss further DIR. Cook or the
latter's affairs, and it was evident
that Commander Peary regarded the
whole controversy as at an end
Commander Peary declined to say
whether he considered it possible 70,
DR.. Cook to proceed further in pre-
senting additional evidence or in sub
hitting data to other parts of au
thority.
MY friends may consider this de
cision a complete vindication of theil
attitude on this whole subject, but a.
for NE, do not care to comment,
said Mr.. Peary in conclusion.
Condemned by Rasmussen.
In an interview. Knud Rasmussen
said:
My confidence in Cook had beel
based on personal impressions, on re
ports that had received and also OF
the testimony of the Eskimos, whei
they all said he had made the TIN
from Cape Sparbo to Etah and such
trip during the dark of winter VI
suffice to make man famous. bu
the papers which Cook sent TO Copen
hagen university are most impudent
No school boy could make such calcu
lations. 1t is most childish attemp
at cheating. Cook has killed himsel
nv his own foolish acts"
Commodore Hovgaard the explorer
said:
Although 1t has not been PROVED
that Cook did not reach the pole,
can only regard Cook, now, as an i'm
poster"
