that they had passed DR.. Cook and
Barrill headed up the river in a
launch.
1.-THE week that these miners re-

time that he says he made his trip
to the summit of Mount Mckinley.
Instead of being on a trip to the

ut would have been a physical
impossibility for anybody to have
reached the top of Mount McKin-
ley during the week he says he
made the ascent. There was not
time enough between the meeting of
the five miners and Cook on the
Chulitna river and Cooks return to
have made any attempt to reach the
top.
while, of course, there is no
means Of knowing what Cooks plan
was we are convinced that he divid-
ed the party and took Barrill with
him, because he had to have one
companion and one was safer to
trust with a fake story than the en-
tire party
when he returned to the States,
Cook promised he would have money
to pay all the men, but the money
never came. He went east and be-
gan Immediately preparing for his
trip toward the north pole, Of which
he talked in Alaska. He left the
following spring, or just after he
had gotten his book ready.
Whatever DR.. Cook may be as a
fake explorer he is most enjoyable
companion on an outing trip. He
will not ask any of his men to un-
dergo any hardship or do any work
he is unwilling to do himself. He is
entertaining and absolutely fair in
the wilds. But believing that he
did not reach the top of Mount Nc
Kinley, I don't like the story of his
north pole trip"

the syndicate at midnight on the last
day of January, 1898.
Hartman soon became the con-
trolling spirit of the Union Pacific
and by stringent economy, cutting
OF all waste ana improving the main
line, transformed the road into valu-
able property, paying steadily In

the credit of this road for acquiring,
without spending a single dollar, the
control of one railroad after the
other. The first railroad thus alb
sorbed was the Oregon Railroad &

holders were induced to exchange
their stock for Union Pacific stock.
When Hartman tried to obtain
control of the Burlington railroad

Northern Pacific. This led to bit

the Morgan-Hill interests and caused

his plans. He fought hard and went
