INTRODUCTION BY PEARY.

Some OF my reasons for saying thai
DR.. Cook did not go to the north pole
will be understood by those who reat
the following statements of the two
Eskimo boys who went with him, and
who told me and others of my party
where he did go. Several Eskimos
who started with DR.. Cook from An
oratok in February, 1908. were al
Etah when arrived there In August
1908. They told me that DR.. Cook had
with him, after they left, two Eskimo
boys, or young men, two sledges and
some twenty dogs. The boys were
l-took-a-shoo and Ah-pe-lah. | had
known them from their childhood
One was about eighteen and the other
about nineteen years of age.
On my return from Cape Sheridan
and at the very first settlement |
touched (Nerke, near Cape Chalon) in
August, 1909, and nine days before
reaching Etah, the Eskimos told me,
in a general way, where DR.. Cook had
been; that he had wintered In Jones
Sound, and that he had told the white
men at Etah that he had been long
way north, but that the boys who were
with him, I.took-a-shoo and Ah.pe-lah,
said that this was not so. The Eski.
mos laughed at DR.. Cooks story. On
reaching Etah. talked with the Es-
kimos there and with the two boys
and asked them to describe DR.. Cook s
Journey to members of my party and
myself. This they did In the manner
stated below.

SPLENDID
CONCERT
MONDAY
Mary Adele Case, 0regon's
Greatest SongStresS, to
Appear Here Before
Going East.

The seats for the Mary Adele Case
concert will not go on general sale
until next Monday, but the ladies
who have charge OF the concert have
been selling the house by subscrip-
tion and have met with decided sue
oess. and from the present indica-
tions the oregon contralto will sing
20 a large audience. This concert
will be one OF the greatest musical
treats Salem has ever had. Within
the last few days Miss Case has had
an OFFER 20 go into opera with the
Savage forces, but she does not In
tend doing 30 for the present, as she
expects 10 return TO Germany next
season and coach for grand opera.
In the meantime she will appear In
concert in the east, after making
short tour through California.
Miss Case is uhquestionably one
OF the most successful concert art
lists before the public today. Her
success shrOugh England and Scot
land was phenomenal 50 often we
hear prima donnas ont here who
have long since lost their youth and
freshness, but such is not the case
with Miss Case, as she is quite young
and throws all the enthusiasm of
youth into her work. The splendid
training this artist has had with
Clark OF Paris Is most noticeable IN
her perfect handling OF her remark
ably beautiful voice Miss Case new
er tries 70 do anything she is not
perfectly sure OF and her interpre-
tations are delightful because she
sings with such ease, sureness and
finish.
This young Oregon girl surely de-
Terves a great deal OF credit for
working her own way in the world
OF music. When Mr. Barnabee OF
the old Bostonians heard her sew
eral years before shs had studied
abroad he told her he knew she
would succeed II she was willing TO
endure all the hardships that one
must meet with before one is able
10 take big place in the world OF
music, and when he was told this
clever young girl was then working
and studying day and night 80 as
- be able TO go abroad TO complete
he musical education, he said:
We'll, then nothing can keep her
from success. With that remark
able voice and that ambition, coup
lea with the fact she was not afraid
OF hardships." And II is her per-
severance as much as anything that
has put her In the front rank Of
nslsical artists today. One seldom
hears so big a voice as Miss Cases |

also of tugboat with which h piled
his vocation cn the river. and TO ac-

with his keen sense of character,
read Capt. Owen like an open book.
He saw in him a man whom he
could handle TO his liking, and he
used him for his purposes. In the
purchase of his house and his boat
Capt. Owen left everything In the
hands OF Davis, who was to arrange

II might also be added that frequent

possessing no particular harm of
manner or great force OF character.
Davis nevertheless possessed the
faculty Of ingratiating himself into
the confidence and esteem of his
friends. SO that they believed him to
be the essence of honor. and integrity
and wholly above reprOach.
So great was their trust in him
that even now as he languishes in a
prison cell with the evidences OF his
gross deception piling up mountain

his victims who profess their belief

left alone he would be able to
