days eleven hours and forty-two minutes,
thereby clipping three hours and eighteen
minutes from its fastest previous time. 1t

the first liner 20 dock on the fourth day

The Lusitania and Mauretania heretofore
have left Queenstown on Sunday and
reached the Ambrose channel lightship too

to dock before Friday morning Today for
the first time one of them proved itself

General Electric company has been con-

last fifteen years. Besides transacting
business under It's own name, the American
corporation owns 81 per cent of the stock

was completed. Thus It will be seen that
the magnetic pole, lying in an opposite
direction. would have been impossible OF
access by DR.. Cook.
Il have no doubt that DR.. Cook has
reached the north pole. He is a man OF
extreme reliability, fairly scientific and
versed In geographical conditions in the
Arctic regions. He has always manifested
truthfulness in his every report and con-
cerning explorations in the north he has
been very exact. l am certain that he is
truthful In this statement
Another point that would tend to help
discourage disparaging statements Is that
Dr. Cooks route was directly to Cracked
land, ending with a swift dash to the pole
Thus he would avoid the awful eastern
drift OF the terrible current in the Polar
sea, north Of Greenland.
'Peary undoubtedly would have accom-
plished what DR.. Cook has done if he had
been better acquainted with the dangerous
conditions confronting him in the frozen
sea. Peary tried to avoid this condition
by going westward, but this was his un
doing. PeaTy made his dash too far east
ward. Dr. Cook took advantage Of Peary's
failure and planned a roundabout course. 4"

POUGHREEPSIE, N. y. Sept 2.-Drlon
Wallace, the author and explorer, whose
companion, Leonidas Hubbard, became lost
and starved to death while exploring Lab
rador, in an interview today said that he
had implicit faith IN DR.. Frederick A
Cooks wonderful feat. Mr.. Wallace had
almost completed plans for an expedition
for the relief Of Dr. Cook. In his statement
he said:
IT knew DR.. Cook we'll. You may put
implicit trust In his veracity. When a boy
he exhibited signs of scientific bent,
When he could he would read Of explorers
and study their methods.
1T is utterly impossible that DR.. Cook
could merely have found the magnetic pole.
His course would not have permitted that.
Any one who has visited the country and
studied conditions there can realize how
impossible It would be for him to reach
the magnetic pole from the course he took.
'Dr. Cook started out from Ellesmereland
and his letter to his family was from Cape
Thomas Hubbard manned after the father
OF the explorer wEo died with Wallace) In

CrRckedland. and went northwest From

BAREs MINERAL LAND FRAUDS
state GeOlOgtst of Wyoming Esti-
mates 100000 Has Been
Made iR bogus Deals.

CHEYENNE, wyo., Sept. 2--(Special.)-
-Four hundred thousand dollars Is a conser-
vative estimate of the ill-gotten gains Of
mineral claim wildoatters who have oper-
ated in northern Wyoming during the last
three years, according to State Geologtst
Edwin Hall. who has Just returned from
that section OF the state, where he made
a thorough investigation based on more
than fifty complaints from victims of the
swndlers.
State Geologist Hall makes a direct
charge that one operator, said TO be a
resident OF Sheridan. Wyo.. and his asso-
ciates have defrauded 800 easterners OF
$4,000 through worthless mineral claim To-
cations In the vicinity or Sundance, Wyo.
The state geologist asserts that this gang
obtained $10l.3O for locating east Of 800 iron
claims on the promise that the claims
would later be bought for $40 an acre. The
Sl0l.So was supposed to represent the cost
OF location work and recording, but al
though location notices were erected, there
is no evidence that even dollars worth
Of work was done and the locations were
absolutely worthless.
Another scheme referred to by the state
geologist involvs the fraudulent location
OF 800 oil claims in the Douglas district,
and in connection with these he names

tation has been unsavory ever since his
methods were exposed by former State
Geolosist H. c. Beeler in tho federal

before Governor b. B. Brooks and fur

CANADA AND PULP TARIFF
Officials Agree Nothing Can Be Gained
by Imposing Export Duty.
PAPER MAKERS ARE DIVIDED
Pulp Men Want Complete PrOhibi-
tiOn, While Many Paper Men
Want Free Market in
United States.

MONTREAL, Sept 2.--wfitle IL is true
that there is resentment in this country
over the new provisions OF the Payne tariff
affecting tho pulp and paper industry It
is felt both at ottawa and Quebec that
nothing can be gained by the imposition Of
export duties. The federal government, 1t
is officially announced, will not take any
action of a retallatory nature in this direc-
ton and any legislation It may enact will
be directed rather to a final settlement
rather than to an aggravation of the diff
culties at present in the way. 1t can he
authoritatively announced that the future
action of the Quebec provincial government
will be in line with the policy most accept
able to the dominion as a whole. rather
than any calculated to meet only the i'm
mediate situation as it is found in the
province of Quebec.
Leases Expire This Year.
The existing timber leases in that
province expire at the end Of the current
year. The government will have to decide
upon it's policy soon in order that It may
be carried into effect with the granting
of the new leases. 1t is certain that the
provincial government will elect to follow
the example of Ontario and make 1t a
stipulated essential condition of all new
leases that there shall be absolutely no
expectation of manufactured pulp wood
to the United States, insofar as crown
lands are concerned. 1t would require an
act of the dominion government to pro-
hibt expectations from other than crown
lands. Considerably more than 80 per cent
of the manufactured pulp wood sent
from Quebec province to the United States
is exported by farmers from their own
lands.
The provincial government can take
action in the matter without calling Par
lament together. as the assent Of the
provincial assembly is not necessary to
any change in the conditions of timber
leases, though such change would in all
probability be submitted to it If the premier
decided to call a late fall session. On this
latter point no authoritative announcement
is forthcoming.
Pour parleres have been held by the
heads of the various provincial govern
