of Importance to scientists the world
over by the discovery Of a Geinkgo 'af
in a deep cut near ;his city. He de-
clares this confirms the theory that
North America and Japan were corr
nected by land centuries ago. adding:
The Geinkgo has rare distinction
among plants in that II is without any
near relatives. There is only one genus
and one species of 1t extant and this
one found only in Japan. While to tho
layman the finding of the Geinkgo,
buried deep in soil near SPOKANE.
means little or nothing. to the sc,ea-
lists this is very important discov-
cry, as 1t confirms the theory OF the
brightest minds that some time In the
dim past this continent and Japan were
connected by land.
Professor Bonser believes that as
soon as the news of his discovery Is
given to the world. some OF the for
most scientists In the country Will
come to this part OF the northwest to
carry on research work in the Co
lumbia basin and the nearby hills.

On April the party camped at lati-

despite the long marches, only a little
over 100 miles had been gained, many
detours having been made to get
around irregular unpassible fields Of

The party was now within about 200
miles of the pole. The sledge loads

On April 21 DR.. Cook reached SO de-

Begins Return Journey.
DIR. Cook and his companions were
nearly crazed with JOY hut soon a feel
ing Of WEAKNESS engulfed them. and
on the following day, after carefully
taking numerous observations, they
were overwhelmed with sense Of in
tense solitude. Why, DR.. Cook wonder
ed. had that region Of desolation, de-
void of the most minute patch of earth,
awakened the most intense ambition
Of men for centuries. Nothing there
was to greet the eye. save the endless
stretch Of dazzling white snow and ice;
there was no living creature; there
was nothing to break the tiresome
horizon.
On April 2s. DR.. Cook and party
started on their return journey.

British Explorer Doubts Some Of Pub
Iished Statements, However.
London, Sept. 2.-After reading a
summary Of Cooks account of his dash
to the north pole, Lieut. Ernest H.
Shackleton, who recently led an ex-
pedition to the south pole regions, said
nobody had any right to be skeptical
There was nothing in the explorers
statement but what was perfectly pos
sible after he got within 200 miles Of
the pole and after reaching the pole,
and after getting back to solid land
there was nothing to prevent Cook liv-
ing with the Esquimos until this year.
consequently" Shackleton contin-
ued, II do not think the time it took
him to return is against his statement.
The question is, what distance was he
actually from the pole when he started
with his Esquimos. He must have dorfe
twelve miles day to cover the dis
tance given in thirty-hve days. No
other expedition has been able to do
anything near this. In the north one
or two miles day is considered good
progress, but Cook must have Travelled
over absolutely smooth ice, which is
o condition that Is unique"

Cooks achievement is most extraor-

do not in the least doubt that Cook

Notwithstanding the doubt cast upon
the first reports from Copenhagen, es-

OF Cook here declare that when the
explorer reaches Copenhagen, which
probably will be Saturday afternoon.
he will be able to amply verify his
claims. Scientists declare that they
can easily tell from Cooks records and
figures II he reached the pole. William
d.. Cook, brother Of the explorer, states
that DIR. Cook will now devote his en-
ergies to discovering the south pole.
