Says Explorer Cock Did Not Scale
Mount Mckinley.

New York, Oct. 14.-The Globe this
afternoon prints copy Of the aff1da-
Wit made by Edwin N Barrill, who ac-
companied DR.. Frederick A Cook at
the time he announced his reaching
the summit of Mount Mckinley. The
affidavit was made before a notary
public at Tacoma, Wash, on October
York. Barrill's affidavit states in eff
feet that he was the only person pres
ent with DR.. Cook on the date when
he claims to have reached the summit
of Mount Mckinley; that they did not
in fact reach the summit, and the
nearest point to the summit reached
was at least fourteen miles distant
from the summit of that mountain, the
elevation at no time exceeding ten
thousand feet. BarFill's affidavit also
brings into question number of the
photographs which DR.. Cook has given
as representing the summit and other
high attitudes of Mount Mckinley.
Barrill's affidavit says at the outset
that he was born in Buffalo in 1864
and now resides at Darby, Mont He
says he was the only party present
with DR.. Cook when he claims to have
reached the summit of Mount McKin-
ley, and that he is the party referred
to as Barille or Edward Barrille in
DR.. Cooks book entitled "To the Top
of the Continent" bearing upon the
expedition to Mount Mckinley. He
details his first meeting with Dr. Cook
at Missoula, where the latter was ac-
companied by Professor Parker, OF
Columbia University, r. w. Porter and
others.
The organization of the Mount Nc
Kinley expedition is explained, the
members, consisting of Fred Prinz, a
guide; Belmore Brown, an artist and
naturalist of Tacoma; Walter Miller,
a. photographer of Seattle; Samuel
Beecher, who acted as cook for the
party, and Barrill. The party sailed
from Seattle May II, 1906. Barrill re-
counts that at the start of the trip he
prepared to keep an exact diary and
sets forth that this diary, marked ex-
hibit A, attached to the affidavit, sis
the time that DR.. Cook and were to-
gether near Mount Mckinley, and the
same is a truthful record, with the ex-
ception of the entries and changes
made by me therein under the orders
Of DIR. Cook" The diary referred to
by Barri1l as attached to the affidavit
is now In possession Of the New York

NOW WE HAVE IT.

In refernce to the slow process of
digging out sewer connections on
John street, which has been the gen.
eral comment of the passing public,
The Argus had this to say in yester-
days issue, without knowledge,
thought, or concern as to who had the
work In hand:
Messrs. Bfgler Brothers, the sidewalk
paving contractors, had shown other
people who sometimes have occasion
to impede the streets, how to hustle;
but judging by the slow process of
finding the sewer main opposite the
tobacco warehouse on John street,
that has been blocking that thorough
fare for two days and more, their ex-
ample has had little effect. When such
excavations have to be made, why not
put force enough on the work to do it
quickly! Whereas, in this instance
two deep long excavations are in pro-
cess with only one lone man engaged
on each, while the travelling public are
compelled to await the slow process.
Such work should be required to be
done expeditiously."
Today we received the following,
which speaks for itself and carries its
own comment, but will not in the least
deter The Argus in it's conception of
it's duty to the public-and we carry
no chip on our shoulder against any
one. nor do we consider the John
Slaughter Company and it's president
other than the best of friends, but
when they subject the public to ex-
treme Inconvenience, that an intelli-
gent and unprejudiced public feel
could be curtailed, they should not get
captious with The Argus for honestly
voicing public sentiment, without any
thought or purpose on our part OF
being at all personal:
"In reply to The Argus, will say II
has never been our policy to push ou,
airship after any one. only according
to our best Judgment, and have never
yet been shipwrecked, but with hard
work and honest effort have been able
to pay our bills and to give our stock
holders small dividend, and tha
without having to call on a waiting
and inconvenient public.

DR.. Cook on his trip to Mount McKin-

ed that he had ascended to the sum-
NIT of Mount Mckinley, and said fur
ther that If an expedition will fol-
low the route he took. they will find
the records deposited by him at the
summit Of the mount. Referring to
Barrill's sworn statement, DR.. Cook
said to a representative Of the Asso-
ciated Press:
81 cannot really understand why
Barrill should have made such a
statement as the newspapers repro
duce If he was acting under normal
conditions. must say it surprises
me- We were always on the most
friendly terms. Until I know of the
affidavit was made I will make no
specific reply to it. My account OF the
trip has been published. For the
present it is the bald statement OF one
man against another.
"If an expedition Of experienced
mountaineers will follow the route
that took and will go to the top Of
Mount Mckinley they will find there
the records which I deposited on the
summit of the mountain in the man
ner described in my book, To the Top

In the course Of chat with num-
Der Of newspaper correspondents DIR.
Cook declined to enter further into
the discussion of the subject. He
stated that he expected soon to get in
to touch with Barrill, when the whole
matter will be explained.
DR.. Cook met with a hearty response
here. Several thousand persons
cheered him as he stepped out Of the
station. A military guard Of honor
composed of the city troop presented
arms as he entered his carriage, and
the troops acted as the explorers es-
cort through the city. A reception
was held at the hotel Marlborough
Blenheim, at which the members OF
the city council were presented to DR.
Cook by Mayor Stoy.
