DIR. ROALD AMUNDSON PRAISES DIR.
COOKS GREAT ACHIEVEMENT.

Christioniu, Thursday. Captain Boald
Amuud,on, the Norwegian Arctic explorer,
was interviewed here today on Dr.. Cooks
triumph
Or Cook was my partner on tho Belgica
expedition as physician" he said, " and all on
board appreciated highly his experience and
his ability. His was an uncommonly staunch,
perseverng aud energetic personality, and I
admire him The route chosen by DR.. Cook
presented unusually difficult problems. Tuis
was proved 10y Commander Pcary's expert
ences.
"Tho possible results from Dr.. Cooks
achievement will have no influence on my
projected expedition | am not planning to
reach the point of the pole, My trip will
be for o~ceanographic Investigation. 1t
would be highly interesting and important
to know II DR. Cook found a continent
around the pole. But he was of necessity
limited to mere visual impressions .
DR.. Cooks personal announcement that
he reached the North Pole has lone much
to diSpel the uncertainty created here by
the first dispatches. But the information
Is still 100 vague entirely to convince the
hardened skeptics. The personality of the
American explorer is held in such esteem
in British scientific circles that those best
qualified to Judge are the readiest to ex-
plain away the seemingly obscure points
in the story of the exploit thus far avail
able. The general sentiment is summed up
il the Evening Standard which, after a
lengthy review of the pros and cons, says
There is nothing improbable in the ex-
plorer's statement. It will be a source of
much satisfaction if the North Pole has
ut last been reached. At the same time

CAPT SCOTT AND DIR. COOK.

LoSDoy, Thursday Captain Robert F.
Scott, commander Of the British Arctic ex-
petition Of 10000, III an interview to-day
said
When l saw DR.. Cook in 1901 he gave me
valuable information which proved OF CON
siderable service to me on the Discovery
Expedition He impressed me with being
well fitted for Polar Expeditions
"From the meagre news received today
he seems to have made an average Of twelve
miles daily from Cape Columbia to the pole.
very good progress, indeed, considering the
difficulties Of the ice packs.
Remembering the experiences of Mark
ham and Poary, it must be imagined that
Cook hed extraordinary good luck in getting
norJualrd at such good speed He does
not appear to have travelled over Peary'a
latest route, which starts at a point con5rd-
erAbly to the ea5tw nd Of Cape Columbia,
so that it IS scarcely far to suggest that he
has taken Peary's routs'
Cap all Scott was OF the opinion that the
absence Of Francke, his only civilized
colApenion, placed Dr. Cook in an awkward
position if he wished to return with corrob-
orative eyidencA, but it could scarcely be
expected when he saw the possibility Of reach
ing the pole simply with the aid Of the Eskimo
that he would torogo the journey only be
cause he was not accompanied by another
civilized .man Ibid
, 1909-09-25
Told Francke TO Retnrn.

Starting northwQrd on March 3, 1908, DR..
Cook, so Francko reported, had taken with
him eight Of the most intelligent Eskimos he
could find about Etah, four sIedges, twelve
teams of dogs and abundant supplies for au
extended absence. On May II ensuing
FrnDcke received q letter from his chief.
dated March II, at Cape Thomas Hubbard,
and On the northwest side of Elismore Land,
sixty miles below Cape Columbia, Peary's
point Of departure. DR.. Cook assorted that
he had made good progress IN crossing
Ellsmere Land ~diagonally and hoped to &C
~complish the dash us planned and return to
Anuatok in June. He instructed Fraucke,
however, that if he did not arrive at that
period the latter should go back to New
York at the first opportunity.
Cooks non appearance at the promised
I me resulted in Francke starting southwark
in June, 1908. with u sledgo and the canvas
boat that had been left with him. Two
Eskimo youths accompanied the returning
adveuturer, and he hoped to connect with
the whalers at North Star Bay, in Greenland,
nbout six hundred miles from Annatok.
Francke's hardships on that trip gave some
idea of the dangers that might have been
O ldured by DR.. Cook. Ga the way the
IIoboken man met with some Eskimos, to
whom he turned over his dog team, rs the
ice was so broken and loose that ho had to
travel chiefly in the open water lanes thus
created.
After finally reaching North Star Bay, he
rested and treated himself, and then started
back on a dreary journey in the effort to
reach Etah. The backward trip occupied
more than a month, the party OF three ex-
is ing on the meat of seals which Eskimos
had killed and on strips Of flesh cut from
the carcass of a polar bear that was found

Rome, Thursday The Duke Of the
Abruzzi, since his own Arctic expeditiogJn
1900, has been koenly interested in p5far
exploration and before he left for the Hlmq-
laya Mountains he expressed the opinim
That DR.. Frederik A. Cook was perhaps tie
man destined to accomplish this grent leaf,
which may be the greatest achievement of
the twentieth century" He based his opin
ION on what he heard Of Dr.. Go ks formorA
journeys and his preparations for this one.
In q lettor received recently at Turin,
from the Duke the royal explorer asked if
anything had been heard from Dr.. Cook.
He said he did not believe tine American
was dead and expressed the belief that he
would sarpajs all his predecessors on the
road to the Pole-Ujd
, 1909-09-25

it is permissible to feel profound sympathy
for Commander Peary, the Odysseus Of
Arctic exploration, the man Of many trials
and struggles, who was so little satisfied
with having reached a point nearer the Pole
than any other man that he spoke of his
achievement as au empty bau5le compared
to the splendid jewel l have been STRIVING
for That splendid jewel has fallen to the
possession of a rival"
Major Leonard Darwin. president of the
Royal Geographical Society, aid;-'FThere-
is no reason why the North Pole should
not have been reached, and it is q very fine
feat to have accomplished. In the absence
Of detailed Information, I am not in a posi-
ton to express a critical opinion, but if, as
reported, DR.. Cook reached the Pole on an
ice foe, | must confess to surprise. That,
however, does not make my congratulations
any the less warm.-IbjR.

HOW THE HERALD HELPED
THE BLIND.

How a small advertisement in the Her
aid resulted in the founding of the only
magazine for the blind in America is told
in an interesting article by Sloane Gordon
III the September issue of Human Life.
Walter G. Holmes, editor of the Matilda
Zje9Ier Magazine for the Blind, visited the
reading room for the blind in the Library
of Congress, in Washington, one day in
1906, and found a G Ply Of Hora Jucun Ia, q
monthly for the blind Published in Edin-
burgh.
Mr.. Holmes recognized the need of such
a publication for the blind in this country,
and glIr. Gordon tells how Mr.. Holmes
finally succeeded in interesting Mrs. Ma.
tIIda ZiegIer, widow of William ZjegIer, a
wealthy baking powder manufacturer She
is now spending 10000 a year in the pub
Hcation of the magazine. Ia q long article
entitled "phe Good Angel of the Blind"
in which he describes how Mrs. Zegler's
generous gift has been appreciated by the
soveuty-hvo thousand blind persons in the
United States. The article, III part, says
''lhjs talk gave the active mind Of Mr..
Holmes q great deal Of food for thought.
He figured in various ways, and spoke of
the matter to u number of his friends.
But how to get the money seemed al un-
SOIVaDl6 puzzle. Ou6 afternoon he bought
a copy of the New York Herald, AND a
line at the head Of an advertising page
caught his eye.
If you want anything, ask for it here"
ran the line.
Il want money for a magazine for the
lblind,' mused Mr.. Holmes, 'aud [ guess I'll
try an adj
"And he did. He inserted a little want
advertisem6ht in the Herald the following
morning 1t said briefly that the blind
people of tie United States needed q mag
zine and that there was a present opportu-
nifty for practical philaptrophy. He didn't
make it appear that 'ther5 was to be
profit in the venture, but, on the contrary,
gave the public to understand that there
would be no monetary return from such
a publication.
"Mr. Holmes, like mlny another adver-
tisiug experlmentaIist, hal but shadowy
faith in his experiment. Wherefore he was
distinctly surprised to receive on the very
next day a brief note from a Mrs. M
tildu Ziegler, stating tersely that she had
seen the advertisement in the Herald and
would like him to caH."-N. Y. Herald.

Firmer in the Winter.

Elfm6r III inc winter.
He held that the leo was frmer in winter,
and for this very reason offered compare
lively smooth surfaces for sledging purposes.
He insisted that Il winter dash, therefore,
would not be banked so frequently by open
lanes of water and shifting icefoes. He
pinned his fate, in other words, to dogs aud
sledges, rather than to small boats or the
fckleness of seeking transportation by wa
ter.
It was the careful, practical outline of
this comprehensive plan that led the oxplor-
er's friends and associates to have the utmost
confidence in the ultimate result, On
March 3, 1903, DR.. Cook left his base of
supplies, at Annatok, on the northwest coast
of Greenianl. At the meeting Of the Ez-
plorer3' Club in New York in October, 1907,
ii letter from the explorer dated at Etah,
Greenland, on August rs, preceding, had
given this information:-
Il find that l have a good opportunity to
try for the pole, and therefore will stay
here for u year. hope to get to theExplor-
ere' Club in September, 1903, with the
record Of the pole. [ plan to cross Ellsmero
Land and reach the Polar Sea by Nan4en
Strait. [ hope you can induce some of the
memb rs of the club to come and meet me
ut Cape York. Here's for the pole with the
fag!'
About the same time Herbert L. Bridge
man, of Brooklyn, received this letter from
DIT. Cook, similarly dated:-
Il have hit upon a new route to the
North Pole and will stay to try it. BY way
of Buchanan Bay and EIlsmero Land, and
northward through Manson Strait, over the
Polar Sea, seems to me to be a very good
route. There viii be game to the eighty
second degree, and here are natives and
dogs for the task. So here is for the pole"
Early in last October fears that another
Arctic tragedy had beset the expedition were
aroused, when Arnold Francke, a young
German American, of Hoboken, N. j., who
had been one Of DR.. Cooks companions, ar
rived at st. Johns, N. f., on the Erik,
the Peary auxiliary steamship, from West
Greenland. Flancke brought word that the
explorer had reached Aunatok, twenty miles
north Of Etah, at the head of Melville Bay,
whore a small frame shelter was erected.
There the two had remained throughout the
autumn and winter of 1907, preparing for
the dash northward. That projected ad-
vance by sIedges and dogs involved q jour
ney over SIX hundred miles of frozen land
and then a trip across the ice foes Of similar
length.
, 1909-09-25

On getting back to Etah it was found that
E-kinos had rauaucked the nome there Of
its supplies. Francke was SO i'll that he
could move about only by using two sticks
to support him. There, in August, 1908,
he was found by the Roosevelt, on which
Pcary was making his new start for the pole.

prompted the course of action which he
pursued.

just before reaching Connoly's had

wagon at Connolly's and started home,
riding horseback and leading the other
horse. For some reason instead Of k eep-
ing in the road he turned at the cross
ing into the railroad right of way and
went down the track, soon meeting the
passenger. which was running with u
double header. The engine struck him
on the left side, breaking nearly every
bone on that side of the body and
throwing him \ hundred feet. One
horse was also killed. the other escap-
ing, reaching the road and finding his
way home.
Mr.. Wynn is about 40 years oflage and
leaves wife and five children. He was
baby about two years old when he
came to Union county ami has lived
here ever since, his father, Thos Wynn,
ST.. still living. Formerly he was a hard
drinker, but his mother-in-law being
killed in a runaway accident in Sioux
City due to drink some Rine years ago,
he gave up the practice until this sum
mer.
The body was brought to this city by
the train that caused his death and
cared for by Undertaken Fox. Today il

Will the patrons of the Elk Point
schools please take notice:
For the past few years there has
been considerable annoyance over un-
necessary telephone calls on the school
during school hours. The patrons
ought to remember that the teachers
are hired to teach the children and not
to answer the telephone during school
hours. Many parents will have a
teacher or pupil called from the class
for the purpose of asking the child to
bring some beetsteak or some other
article home for dinner. Such an in.
corruption spoils the recitation period
for both the teacher and the pupil.
For the purpose of pr election, there
fore, central has been asked to refuse
to call the school house unless abso-
lutely necessary. In the opinion OF
the teachers, sickness, accidents, un-
expected departure from town and, on
stormy days, inquiries concerning the
children, especially those from the
country, are necessary matters and are
the oaly ones the school cares to be
bothered about during school hours.
