COOK AND pEARY.


disappointment of DR.. Cook, who,
when he had discovered the North
pole, saw about him only terrifying
wastes OF snow and ice. Melan-
choly akin to despair succeeded
the frantic joy of the great explorer
and his two faithful Esquimaux.
"Was it possible" the discoverer
asked himself, sadly, that this
desolate region, without patch of
earth, had aroused the ambition Of
so many men for SO many centuries?
There was no ground, only an i'm
mensity Of dazzling white snow,
no living being, no point to break
the frightful monotony.
After spending two days at the
North pole the intrepid trio began
their return. When he arrives
home DIR. Cook will be compelled
to submit data that will confirm
his claim to be the poles discov-
erer. Judging by his narrative,
we shall learn little that is new.
His story might have been written
by any man with Imagination, who
had never been nearer the boreal
center than Coney island. Here
and there, however, are touches Of
realism that bring conviction. For
example:
The night of April 7 was made
notable by the swinging of the sun
at midnight over the northern ice.
Sunburns and frostbites were now
recorded on the same day. but the
double days glitter infused quite
an incentive into ones life Of
shivers."
If DR.. Cook obtained any facts
valuable from a scientific point OF
view he carefully withheld them in
his cable account. Beyond the in
formation that he had found land
ION which rests the earth's north.
ernmost rocks" and that he had
traversed "a new highway, with
an interesting strip OF animated
nature" penetrated big game
haunts. (which will delight sports
men," he has nothing to say which
will advance the cause of science or
widen the horizon of speculation.
And yet the results are what
might have been expected had en-
thusiasm Imagination and the love
mystery been controlled by reason.
The unknown always looms large
with possibilities SO dazzling that
they obscure the probabilities.
Somewhere in the frozen North
another daring American is pushing
toward the pole and the indications
are that he will succeed in his
quest. 1t is depressing to think
that he must return to civilization
only to be shocked and disheartened
by the information that the North
poles discovery is a twice-told tale.
1t will require all the nerve that
brave Lieutenant Peary possesses to
bear up under such a disappoint-
ment. He will be able to realize
something of what Admiral Samp-
son felt when he returned to San
tiago from a brief cruise and found
that Schley had won the battle
for him.
1t is more than likely that when
Peary comes home there will be a
controversy. 1t will be battle of
data and the one with the least
ammunition of this kind is liable
to lose the fight and be considered
an impostor.
1t is to be hoped, therefore, that
DIR. Cook has made sufficient obser-
vations and discovered enough that
is new to put the fact of his triumph
beyond dispute.-Rocky Mountain

BRO. FREEMAN of the Mancos
Times Tribune, announced in the
last issued of that paper his in
tentions of advancing the subscrip-
tion price from $I.oo to $3.50 per
year. This is a wise move on the
part of Mr.. Freeman and should
receive the hearty approval of his
patrons. 1t is hard matter to
advance the price of a newspaper.
No publisher likes to do it. But it
is simply folly to try to publish a
paper like the Times Tribune. in
this state or any other state, for
one dollar year. We venture the
assertion that if Mr.. Freeman
counted his own labor at just ordi
nary wages he would find that it
cost at least four dollars for every
fiftytwo papers he produces. This
sounds foolish to the layman, but
every country publisher knows it is
a fact. The deficit must be made
up from the profits on advertising
and job work, which isn't quite
right and would not be tolerated
by the tradesman, merchant or
banker, who demand a profit from
every branch of their business.
The subscription price of no
country weekly should be less than
four dollars a year, and good
county paper at triple that price,
considering the benefit derived.
would be the cheapest investment in
the home.
