NORTH POLE DISCOVERED.

Last week the news was flashed
over the world that DR.. Frederick A.
Cook had reached the North Pole
April, 1909, and this week the same
waves flashed the news that Com
mander Robert E. Peary had reached
the North Pole April this year, 1909,
and planted the stars and stripes
there. thus accomplishing what the
world for the past four centuries has
tried to do, and Commander Peary
has been exploring in the Arctic re-
gion for the past twenty eight years.
Of course scientists and scholars will
dispute DR.. Cooks statements and
may declare Dr. Peary the discoverer.
At any rate it has at last been found,
and by an American explorer. Let
lis all hail the Arctic sea travellers and
polar snow climbers and give them
due honor.
