DR.. COOKS CLAIMS.
National Geographic Society
Appoints Committee to
Investigate.
Refusal of University of Copenhagen
to Permit Committee to Attend
AS Witnesses Has Caused
Surprise and Regret,

Washington, D. c., Nov. S.-To pass
on the question as to whether the
north pole was discovered before 1909,
that is as to whether DR.. Cook reach
ed it a year prior to Commander
Peary, the board of managers of the
National Geographic Society today ap-
pointed the following committee: J.
Howard Gore, formerly professor of
mathematics George Washington Uni
versity; Rear Admiral John E. Pills.
bury, of the navy, and Dr.C Willard
Hayes, chief geologist of the geolog-
ical survey.
A change from the committee which
recently passed on the Peary records
was made in accordance with the rec
ommendation of the committee on re-
search of the society and because it
was thought that this would be fairer
to DR.. Cook.
The committee, it was announced,
will not go to Copenhagen in the
prosecution of it's inquiry, but will
rely on data obtained otherwise
For this purpose it will have au-
thority to interrogate such persons
and make such Journeys as may be
regarded essential to finally deter
mine the question of the discovery of
the pole.
The action of the University of Co.
penhagen in refusing to permit a
committee of the National Geographic
Society to attend the examination as
witnesses merely of Cooks records
has caused surprise and regret.
Among some of the society there is
feeling that grave mistake was made
by Rear Admiral Chester, one of the
committee who examined the Peary
records, when in a public speech Sat-
urday night he discredited DR.. Cooks
claims to the discovery of the pole.
Commander Peary arrived in Wash
lngton today and proceeded at once to
the Navy Department, where he met
Assistant Secretary Winthrop and a
number of his fellow officers. It was
ne i9lst visit paid by him to the de-
partment since his return from the
Arctic.

A RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.
Mrs. III. p. Dortch, Jr., Thrown From
Buggy at Noon Wednesday.

While driving Wednesday at noon
Mrs. H. P. Dortch, Jr., was painfully
injured in a runaway accident, which
happened near the cotton yard. The
horse became frightened at some OBJ
ject near the above scene and dashed
down John street, throwing Mrs
Dortch out of the buggy.
While Mrs. Dortch's injuries are not
serious she is badly bruised and has
an ugly cash on the side of her head.
1t seems a miracle to all who wit
messed the accident that Mrs. Dortch
was not killed instantly, as the horse
was going at full speed when she was
thrown from the buggy.
A colored nurse was also in the
buggy with Mrs. Dortch, and she, too,
was thrown from the buggy, but es-
capped uninjured.

"Our little daughter, six years of age,
after severe attack of the measles,
which developed into pneumonia, was
left pitifully thin, weak and emaciat-
ed. She had no appetite, and her stom-
ach was so weak it could not retain
food. She lay in this condition for
weeks, and nothing the doctor pre-
scribed did a bit of good, and we were
beginning to think she would never re-
cover.
cat this time we commenced to give
her Vinol, and the effect was marvel
GUS. The doctor was amazed at her
progress, and when we told him we
were giving her Vinol, he replied, 1T
is fine remedy, keep it up We did
so, and she recovered her health and
strength months before the doctor
thought she could" ]. W. Flagg,

scHREcoNGosT WINS REVENGE is SWEET
Important Ruling of Land
Office in Contest Case.

The general land Office at Wash
ington last week handed down &
ruling in the contest case of Rich
ards versus Schrecongost, which is
of great Importance to entrvmer
on desert claims. The decision
was in favor of the defendant and
its immediate effect is to give him
title to 100 acres of choice Emmett
fruit land valued at $45. 900.
The case was instituted at Boise
two years ago by A. A. Richards,
who sought to oust A. M. Schrecon-
gost on account of bis not having
been able to fill the requirements OF
the law in regard to desert land
claims. While Mr.. Schrecougost
had done everything i'll his power
in the way of making improvements
to make his filing good, he was
unable to reclaim the land on ac-
count of the Canyon canal dam
having been washed out, thus de-
laving the application of water past
the time allotted by his fling. The
Boise land Office held that Schrecon-
COST had forfeited all right to the
land, regardless of the contention
by his counsel that his inability to
make proof was due to the failure
of the government to supply water
within the time expected. The
commissioner of the general land
Office reversed this judgement and
his finding is affirmed by Secretary
Ballinger in the decision Saturday.
Secretary Ballinger held that
''Where delay of a entryman on a
desert claim in making. proof is the
result of failure of they government
to complete an irrigation project
from which the water supply was
to have ben taken such entryman
is entitled to an extension of time
the period of delay IN
canal construction.
The case is of great Importance
owing to 1.-The. fact that this same
issue has been raised in number
of cases pending in the land courts
which involve tracts of land IN
Idaho worth many thou
sand dollars.
The decision was announced IN a
telegram from Washington to E.
E. Garrett, counsel for the con-
.estee, Schrecongost. Richards &
Haga of Boise, and G. A. Bright
of Washington, D. c., were the at
:orreys representing the contestant.
Schrecongost's entry was original
y under the Payette- Boise project,
out has since been reclaimd by the
waters from the Canyon cnal.

Christmas Carol" and he delighted
his audience. He is an impersonat-
or of great versatility and wide re
source. He succinctlv tells the
story in dialogue, culled from the
original; happy in his choice of
passages, because keeping in mind
that the dramatic quality is the in
dispensable essential to prevent
monotony. Thus, he has a story
full of spirit, and one that in itself
holds an audience. He develops
it with evenness, and throughout,
it wears the language Of the auth
or. In Ben Hur he appears at his
best. He tells the story in character
as it proceeds and his delineation
of the great characters created bv
General Lew Wallace is masterly.
He should have a crowded house.

Death of a Noble Woman.

The news of the death of Mrs.
Ada Riggs Coon at her home in San
Francisco May % was received here
last week and brought sadness to
many heart who knew this most
lovable woman. Deceased was born
at Davisville, Calf, April 8, 1856.
Her early life, however, was spent
in Boise and the Payette valley. She
was the second child of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry C, Riggs, and Ada county was
named after her in appreciation of
the successful efforts of her father
in securing the passage of a bill
creating that county by the Idaho
territorial legislature in 1864, of
which he was an honored member.
Mrs. Coon was married to John R.
Coon at Caldwell in 1884, and with
her husband moved to San Francis
CO, where they had since made their
home. She is survived by her hus-
band, her aged father and mother,
four brothers, Henry c., Boise g.,
and Samuel d., and one
sister, Mrs. w. c. Langroise. Her
life was devoted to doing good and
she was greatly loved by all who
knew her.

Commencement Week

Commencement week of the High
School opened Sunday night with
the baccalaureate address by Rev.
Homer E. Cullison. The exercises
were held at the Methodist church
and we're attended by large audi
ence. The speaker made an earn
est plea for the physical, mental
and moral training and develop
meut of the boys and girls. The
prize fighter whose physical powers
are perfect in development is but
little removed from brute. A man
whose mental powers are cultivated
at the expense of his ply sical
being is unfit TO fight the battles
of life. The perfect man, = he said,
sis he who possesses physical
strength, mental power and moral
stamina.
