INTRODUCTION BY PEARY.

Some OF my reasons for saying that
Or Cook did not go to the North Pole
will be understood by those who read
the following statements OF the two
Eskimo boys who went with him, and
who told me aud others OF my party
where he did go. Several EszimOs
who started with DR.. Cook from An
oratok IN February 1908, were AZ 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 I-took-a-
shoe 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 az the very first settlement
touched (Nerke, near Cape Chalon) IN
August, 1909, and nine days before
reaching Etah the Eskimos told me,
IN general way, where Or. Cook had
been; That he had wlntered IN Jones
Sound and that he had told the white
men at Etah that he had been a long
way north, but that the boys who were
with him, l-took-a.shoo and Ah-pe-lah,
said that this was not so. The Esld.
mos laughed az Or Cooks story. On
reaching Etah, talked with the Eskl-
mos there and With the two boys aud
asked them 20 describe Or. Cooks jour.
ney to members OF my party and my
self. This they did In the manner
stated below.

Springfield Advance: Frank
Jaehn bid goodbye to his numerous
Springfield friends Monday and de-
parted on the afternoon train for
his future home in Huron, S. d.
His departure comes as a source of
regret to his friends in this city, for
he was always considered permanent
fixture Of the place. However, it is
source of pleasure to learn that he
has bright prospects before him in
his chosen location, and also that he
already has contracts for the season
aggregating nearly 100000. He has
already started work on fine mod
ern residence for himself, the build
ing to be of concrete.

TIE OLDEST "BREAKFasT rood"
Especial Correspondent

Centuries before the first enterprising
advertiser saw fortune in cooked, bak ed
and faxed cereals the luscious, juicy
orange was the breakfast food of many
civilized nations And in millions Of
homes it still holds it's wonted suprem-
acy as a health giving table delicacy. Its
tonic value has increased its popularity,
anG where formerly it was eaten for it's
succulency, delicious favor and appeal to
the palate, it is now made conspicuous
feature of the daily diet for its acknowl-
edged aid in the work of digestion and
it's gently purifying action on the liver.
And what a vast difference there is in
the oranges of the present time and those
of twenty years ago even, Little did
those who delighted in the oranges of
that period suppose this fruit would ever
reach such perfection as is seen in the
well-known "Sunkist" oranges of today.
This brand is cultivated under the most
favorable conditions by a body Of 5000
farmers associated in the California Fruit
Growers Exchange. and the peculiarly
tempting flavor of the crop they are
marketing this season will indelibly stamp
the name 'tSunkist'' on the minds Of
thousands of new devotees at the shrine
Of this wondrous breakfast food"

CARP FROM MINNESOTA LAKES.
Contractors Pay for Privilege Of Clean
ing Up Lakes Near MankatO.

Mankato Free Press:
Mr.. Holtzheim of La Crosse, Wis.
William Bros. of Brownsville,
Mimi, and Seeing Bros. of Winona
have taken out state licenses under
the new law to seine carp and other
undesirable fish out of Lakes Madi-
son, Washington. Ballantyne and
Duck. The first three men paid $75
for licenses to take the fish out of
Lakes Madison, Ballantyne and
Duck. and Seeing Bros. paid $50
for license to seine the fish out of
Lake Washington.
The licenses run from Oct. l next
to May /, 1910, but while the work
of seining the fish will not begin I'M
til Oct. /, the men will arrive about
Sept l and will use lead lines and
take all Of the snags out Of the lakes
and also all sunken barbed wire and
other instructions that might dam
age the seines.
The men have three seines, each
$500 feet long and have seven
launches. one of them being capable
of holding 20 men. This last boat
will be placed on Madison Lake.
The men will bring all Of the para
phernalia by water coming up the
Minnesota river in their lauches and
being conveyed from Mankato to
the different lakes. Most Of the
fishing will be done after the lakes
have frozen over, and the work will
be carried on all winter.
The licenses authorize the men to
seine out all rough fish. such.as carp
buffalo, red horse, sucker, dog fish,
sheep head and CARS. Other fish
must be put back into the water
The fish taken out will be shipped
direct to New York on ice, and will
arrive there perfectly fresh, and
will be disposed of there. AS it is
expected to take out thousands OF
tons Of fish. there will be a great
demand for boxes and there is ar
opening for box factory in Madi
son Lake
The work will have to be done I'm
der the supervision of a deputy game
and fish warden at each of the lakes
and game and fish warden Jordan
will probably have oversight Of thu
entire work, the inspectors working
E under his direction. The fishermen
must pay the inspectors $3.50 a da.
each.
The fishermen will not overlook
turtles, as these are included in thei
permits, and are said to be very fin,
eating. If the seining is done with
out destroying game fish the effec
on the latter ought to be beneficial
as they can increase more rapidly
Then men who are to do the seinins
make business of it, and understand
the work and have full equipment
|, They will hire most of their laborer
in this vicinity. bringing only thei
foreman and packers with them.

St. Peter Tribune: Governor
Johnson accompanied by Mrs. John
son and number Of friends are now
at Old Point Comfort, where the
governor seeks rest from the strenu
Gus life Of the past three months.
Signing and vetoing bills seems to
be exhaustive work and we wouldn't
be surprised if the singing COM
ments resulting would prove rather
nerve wearing also.
The people Of this section Of the
state were generally very much dis
appointed when it was learned that
Coy. johnson had vetoed the mea-
sure, calling for an appropriation of
of So, 500 to be expended for park
purposes at the old historic point,
Ft. Ridgley, says the Morgan Mes
senger. If Gov. Johnson had We
toed the bills calling for $4,000 for
capitol approaches, 5000, 900 for state
fair grand stand and $1,000,000 for
the new state prison, the excuse for
economy might be met with grace
St. Peter Tribune: Our neighbor
towns of Mankato and New Ulm
have each had sensations of late in
which 14-year old girls were the
chief actors. St. Peter has some
very beautiful 14-year old girls, too,
and they are among her choicest
possessions. Just at present the
boy question is receiving much need
ed attention, but how about our
girls? There IS only one place for
girls at night. and that is not on the
streets. Parents who neglect their
duty to the immature that nature
has placed in their charge, are lay
ing up trouble for themselves here
and hereafter.
The MapIeton Enterprise has been
doing little investigating and finds
that according to statistics given out
at Washington the average pay last
year Of rural mail carriers was 1855
and the average earning of the
routes to the government was $132,
leaving a deficit for each carrier of
$733, or a total of S29,000,000 fol
I the nation. From this point of view
it can easily be seen why the govern
ment is anxious to rid itself of thu
rural mail service. If that amour
of money was put into roads eacl
D year the farmers would undoubtedly
t be willing to come to town aftel
