klamath failS, Ore., Dec. Zl.-
Maps filed in the Lakeview land Of
flee by James j. Hills new railway,
the Oregon Trunk Line, have given
rise to the belief that Hill and "Lum-
ber King" Weyerhaeuser have Joined

The maps show that a right-of-
has been secured from The Dalles
down the Deschutes valley and De-
schutes canyon. The right-of-way
extends TO point 80 miles south of
Crescent lake, thence passing up
the east fork of the Deschutes. The
maps indicate a right-of-way to a
point 65 miles due north of this city
Weyerhaeuser owns more than
100000 acres of valuable timber land
in the region through which the
right-of-way extends, and maintains
q marrow guage line from klamath
Falls into the timber belt. The fact
that the right-of-way follows so close
ly the Weyerhaeuser lands has fur
nished grounds for the rumor of a
combination between their owner
and Hill.

When Miss Siege was through re-

the capital prize, and they were
many and hearty, Col. Hofer stepped
up to her, and informed her that she
was the owner of the Ford five-pas-
senger car that has been up in the
balloting contest for six weeks. He
informed her that Mr. Priehs, of the
Salem Auto Garage, would escort her
and her party home, and, as 1t was
too late to take out the state license
in the name of the owner, as re-
quired by law, that could be done
Tuesday morning. The merry party
rode off happy over their splendid
prize. Miss Siege has borne herself

Copenhagen, Dec. 21.-The COM
mlttee which has been investigating
the data of DR.. Frederick A. Cook
today ofilcially reported to the consis-
tory of the University of Copenhagen
that DR.. Cooks records and observa-
tions are wholly insufficient TO war
rant a verdict that he discovered the
north pole.
The consistory Of the university
adopted the report of the commit
tee, thereby fatty rejecting DIR.
Cooks claims, and throwing oCt his
records and observations.
Cooks data, according to the re-
port, is no more convincing than
was the newspaper accounts.
DR. Cooks private secretary 10 Bit
terly disappointed at the verdict, and
is making an effort to induce the con-
sistory to withhold its final Judge
ment until Dr. Cooks full data ar
rived.
The consistory refused to pay any
attention to Lonsdale's appeals from
the findings today, and stated that
they were final as far as the con-
sistory is concerned. The discredit-
ing of Dr. Cook was a severe blow tv
the Danish scientists, who had
stood firmly by him and given him
support under the charges made by
Commander Peary.
1t is believed If the data and rec
ords had provided grounds upon
which the scientists could have estab-
lished reasonable basis for claim
ing that the Brooklyn explorer reai-
ly reached the pole, this claim would
have been made and upheld as long
as tenable.
A member of the committee today
said
at took the committee but few
minutes to see that DR.. Cooks obsel .
vations and so-called records were

THE so-called note books on
which DR.. Cook relied in a great
measure for vindica ton had only ac-
counts OF his observations, rather
than the observations themselves.
These note books were thrown aside
without a moments consideration.

COWS HAVE TUBERCULOSIS
For That reason the State Asylum
 Herd is to be Sold.

Little Rock, Jan. Ill., Believ- ing that the best interest of the institution would be met by such action the state board of charities have recommended to the legisla- ture that the present herd of COWS from which the dairy supplies for the insane asylum are obtained, be displaced by another and that with out delay. This is due to tbe fact that tuberculosis germs were found in the milk of some of the COWS in tests made by scientific experts some months ago. Since that time sterilizing plant has been operated, and this has been pronounced safe by the physicians, but the members of the board think 1t better that the whole herd of cows be dispensed with and another substituted. There are about 70 cows in the herd, all of excellent breed.
