NOT To Be
DOUBTED
So
Com entS on
Story Of Cooker
Not Impossible

LONDON, Sept. 2.-After reading a
brief summary of DIR. Cooks account
of his dash to the North pole, Liuet.
Ernest Shackelton, who recently led
an expedition to the antartic said that
no one had the right to be skeptical.
There is nothing, he declares, in the
explorers statement but what is pos
sible.
s'It do not think that the time it
took him to return is agains his
statement said Shackelton. 1.-THE
question is, what distance was he
actually from the pole when he
started with his EsEimos. He must
have done twelve miles a day to
cover the distance given in thirty
five days.
''No other expedition has been able
to do anything near this in the north.
One or two miles a day has been
considered good progress, Cook must
have travelled over absolutely smooth
ice to have made better time, and
smooth ice is an unique condition,
for any great stretch.
PARIS, Sept. 2.--The news of the
success of DR.. Cook, when it became
known in Paris, created great SEN
sation. While there is a tendency
to await the arrival of DR.. Cook at
Copenhagen for further details and
proof of his claim, the French press
unites in praising the hardy ex-
plorer and congratulating America
upon his possession.

PriD0te Parties
With Irrigation

ARCO, Ida, Sept. 2.-Secretary
Wilson and party are at the Big Lost
River valley today. Rain has changed
their plans materially, their inten-
tion being to auto over the Lemhi
forest reserve. Instead an informal
meeting was held at Mackay with
citizens, when the subject of ad-
ministration of reserves was dis
cussed.
Vice President Speer of the Trow-
bridge-River company occupied
seat on the train with the secretary
pointing out that lands of the Bic
Lost River Irrigation company in
cluded $4,000 acres, open to entry
under the Carey Act, September IA,
with water ready next May.
The secretary was surprised at the
rapid manner of construction undel
private enterprise. He admired the
beautiful land to be irrigated and
promised to use his influence tc
establish government experimental
station on land furnished by the irri-
cation company. Secretary Wilson
returned this afternoon on his way t.
Wyoming to investigate the dry land
experiments.

days glitter infused quite an in
centive in life and shivers.
"Our observations on April 6
places the camp in latitude $3.50,
Longitude 94.2.
"In spirit of what seemed long
marches we advanced but little more
than hundred miles. Much of our
work was lost in circuitous lines and
around troublesome pressure lines
and high ice fields. A very old ice
drift, too, was driving eastward with
sufficient force to give some anxiety.
LONG MARCHES IMPOSSIBLE
Although still equal to about fif-
teen miles daily, the extended
marches and the long hours for
travelling with which fortune favored
us earlier were no longer possible.
We were now about 200 miles from
the pole and sledge loads were re-
duced. One dog after another went
into stomachs of the hungry sur
vivors until the teams were consider
ably diminished in number, but there
seemed to remain a sufficient bal
ance for the men and brute to push
along into the heart of the mystery
to which we had set ourselves.
'On April 21 we had reached SO
degrees, SO minutes, 46 seconds. The
Pole was in sight. We covered the
remaining IA seconds and made
final observation. l told Evukishook
and Ahwelsh (the accompanying Es-
quimaus) that we had reached the
Great Nall Everywhere we turned
was south. With single step we
could pass from one side of the
earth to the other from midday
floating to the breezes at the Pole. 1t
was April 21, 1908. The temperature
was minus 38 centigrade; barometer
29.S3. latitude, 90; as for longitude,
it was nothing, as it was but word.
although crazed with joy our
spirits began to undergo feeling of
WEAKNESS. Next day, after taking
all our observations, a sentiment of
intense solitude passed over us while
we loked at the horizon. Was it pos
sible that this desolate region, with
out . patch of earth, had aroused the
ambition of so many men for so
many centuries? There was no
ground, only an immensity of dazzl-
ing white snow; no living being, no
point to break the frightful
monotony.
ION April 23 we started on our
return"

Personal NanutiDe Of the Explorer
7eening Uith Hardships is GiDen Out

PARIS, Sept. AFTER pro-
longed fight with famine and frost
we have at last succeeded in reach
ing the North Pole"
Thus declares DR.. Frederick A.
Cook in signed statement this morn
ing in the Paris edition of the New
York Herald.
The statement, which is dated Hans
Egede, Lerwick, Wednesday, contin-
ues:
"a new highway, with an interest
ing strip of animated nature, has
been explored and big game haunts
located which will delight sportsmen
and extend the Esquimo horizon.
Land has been discovered on
which rests the earth's northern
most rocks. A triangle of thirty
thousand square miles has been cut
out of the terrestrial unknown.
'The expedition was the outcome
of a summer cruise in the Artic
seas on the schooner Bradley, which
arrived at the limits of navigation
in Smith Sound late in August, 1907.
Here conditions were found favorable
for launching venture to the pole.
J..R. Bradley literally supplied from
his vessel suitable provisions for To-
cal use. My own equipment for en-
ergencies served well for every pur-
pose of Artic travel Many Esquimo's S
had been gathered on the Greenland
shores at Annatosk for the winter
bear hunt Immense quantities of
meat had been collected and plenty
of strong dogs. The combination was
lucky, for there was room for
euuippment.

porting party, returned and the trials
vival of the fittest. The two best
men and twenty-six dogs were picked
for final effort.
There before us in an unknown
line of 460 miles lay our goal. The
first days journey provided long
marches and we made encouraging
progress. A big lead which separated
the land from the ice of the central
pack was crossed with little delay.
Low temperature was persistent and
winds made life torture. But cooped
up in orr snow houses, eating dried
beef tallow and drinking hot tea,
there were some animal comforts
occasionally to be gained.
For several days after sight of
known land was lost the overcast
sky prevented an accurate determina-
tion of our position.
"On March 80 the horizon was
partly cleared and new land discover
ed. Our observations gave our po-
sition as latitude S4.47, longitude
1886. There was urgent need of
rapid advance. Our main mission
did not permit detour for the pur-
pose of exploring the coast. Here
we saw the last signs of solid earth;
beyond, there was nothing stable to
be seen.
BEYOND RANGE OF LIFE.
I'VE advanced rapidly over the
monotony of moving sea ice and
now found ourselves beyond the
range of all life-neither foot prints
of bears nor the blow hole of seals
were detected. Even the microscopic
creatures of the deep were no longer
under us. The maddening influence
of the shifting desert Of frost be-
came almost uncomfortable in the daily
routine. The surface of the pack
offered less and less trouble and the
weather improved, but there still re-
mained the life-sapping wind which
drove despair to it's lowest recess.
Extreme cold compelled physical
action. Thus day after day our weary
legs spread over big distances. In
cidents and positions were recorded,
but adventure was promptly forgot
ten in the next days efforts. 4The
night of April z was made notable
by the swinging of the sun at mid
night over the northern ice. Sunburns
and frost bites now were recorded
on the same day, but the double

DEVISE SUITABLE OUTFIT.

"All that was required was con-
veniently arranged for at point
only 700 miles from the boreal CEN
ter. A house and workshop were
built of packing boxes by willing
hands and this northernmost tribe
of ESQ people set themselves to the
problem of devising suitable out
fit. Before the end of the long
winter night they were ready for the
enterprise and plans had matured to
force a new route over Grinneall land
northward along it's west coast out
on to the Polar sea.
"The campaign opened with few
scouting parties being sent over the
shores to explore the way and seek
the game haunts. Their mission was
only partly successful because of the
storms. At sunrise of 1908 (Febru-
airy 19) the main expedition en-
barked on its voyage to the pole. 1t
consisted of eleven men and 103 dogs
drawing eleven heavily loaded
sledges. The expedition left the
Greenland shore and pushed west
ward over the troubled ice of Smith
sound. The gloom of the long winter
night was relieved only by a few
hours of daylight. The chill Of the
winter was felt at it's worst. AS
we crossed the heights of Ellesmere
sound to the Pacific slope, the tenn
perature sank three centigrades.
Several dogs were frozen and the
men suffered severely, but we soon
found the game trails along which
the way was easy.

Winnemucca's Last Murder

The Humboldt Star says that the kill

saloon when LIE Baron walked in, put

The shooting was done so quickly that

what had happened.
After the shooting LIE Baron backed
out of the saloon with his pistol level

State Land Patents

Yesterday the state issued 1913 land
patents embracing 1886 acres of land.
These patents are prepared and recorded
in the state land Office, signed by the
governor, countersigned by the state
land register, attested and recorded by
the secretary of state. 1t required
800, 600 to complete the payments of
principle and interest on the above
lands and deprives the school fund of
the annual payments of IS, 800 interest
at six per cent.
The principle amounting to 500, 856
may be invested in United States or
state bonds and will net the school fund,
interest at the rate of about two and
one-eighth per cent. While the revenue
of the public schools will be reduced
about $S, 800 annually on account of the
above payments, the revenue derived
from state and county taxes will be
increased four-fifths. as contract lands
are usually assessed at valuation of
% cents per acre, but when patent
issues, they are assessed as not less than
$1.25 per acre.-Carson Appeal. H.
