whom DR.. Frederick A. Cook last
night asked to join Anthony Fiaia. the
Arctic explorer in an expedition to
seek the Cook records on the sum-
init of Mount Mckinley. has issued
statement which makes 1t appear un-
likely that he will accept DR.. Cooks
invitation. Mr.. Fiala, to whom
similar telegram was sent by DR..
Cook, left New York yesterday before
receiving the message and will prob
ably not send his answer until next
week.
Prof. Parker's statement says that
he and Belmore Brown. of Tacoma,
Wash. who is now visiting him. and
who with Prof. Parker was one of
DIR. Cooks companions on his Mount
Mckinley expedition. have been for
some time preparing to make an in
Kinley early next spring in an effort
to reach the summit. Prof Parker
says that he considers that the Nc
Kinley is still unclimbed and he does
not expect to discover any records on
the summit, if he should be so
professor says that he took many
observations while in the north with
Dr. Cook and from these was led to
believe that it was impossible to scale
the mountain from the direction
which DIR Cook says he followed.
DR.. Cook has announced that in
connection with his next lecture trip.
he will stop In Hamilton. Mont. the

Seattle, Oct. 16.-With the completion
at Point Roberts today of the work of
a party of government engineers direct

and accurate survey of the boundary
line between the Dominion of Canada

open off from this hail. one on the
north and the other to the south.
These rooms are finished with hard
pine and oiled. Here again is found
that provision for a profusion of lights.
A place has been planned for the dress

side of that piece of furniture an cleo
trio light will be placed, thus securing
a perfect light without shadow. Both
rooms are furnished and finished sim

closet for each one of the sleeping
rooms provides ample space for the

ifornia people who have seen the house
as it now stands say it has every ear

parts of the city, bungalows for sale"
Every piece of interior finish wood
work in the bungalow was prepared
for use by L. E. Spangler at his shop
on East Fourth street. Every piece of
wood is polished down to perfect
surface. Pullman never sent a better
piece of work out on wheels than the
work done in this little palace.
Men may use their time and talents
for various good purposes but none
can utilize their means and energies
for a more commenda BILE cause than
these men do in building up homes in
Topeka, such as the 7-room bungalow

of the most sublime in all sacred music
and as rendered by Grace cathedral
choir in all its sublimity is unsur-

Fourth of July One Augusta business
man a few years ago thought that he
had discovered such a spot in small
New Hampshire country village which
was noted for it's atmosphere Of
funeral calm, and where bucolic
peace and quiet perpetually brooded
over the landscape. He retired the
night before the Fourth with the feel
ing that for once at least in many
years he would enjoy a good nights
rest on that occaion. But alas, vain
hope! He was awakened about 2
o'clock in the morning by crowd of
boys. equipped with their fathers COW
bells and their mothers dinner horns,
who fairly made the welkin ring with
the excess of their patriotic fervor.
Never in all his experience in the
capital of Maine had he encountered a
pandemonium like that, and he has
informed the Journal that unless he
can secure the exclusive use of some
island off the coast of Maine he shall
this year pass the night before the
Fourth in Augusta.

Bermuda as An Early Spring Resort.

With a short potato and onion crop,
and increasing competition from our
South Atlantic and Gulf States,
Bermuda is experiencing hard
times" period. There is however, a
brighter side to the picture to be found
in the increasing number of tourists,
chiefly from the United States who
are using this fair island as winter
resort This spring nearly five times
as many people sought rest and re-
creation there as came to it in 1908,
and the indications are that it's 're-
sort" business is distined to assume
very large proportions and be a most
valuable source of income to it's people.
1t may be true that Bermuda has but
1000 acres of arabic land, and that it's
soil is thin; but it possesses one of the
most delightful climates to be found
under the sun. 1t affords an excellent
opportunity for Americans who can
afford to do so to escape the raw
weather conditions that prevail in our
Northern and Middle states during the
months of March and April.
