'pecial Dispatch to The Star.
LONDON, September I'm discussing
the cables sent here from New York. in
which authorities on the arctic regions
are quoted as expressing donbts that Dr.
Frederick a. Cook reached the north
pole. on the grounds that the pole was
reached in month anu it took a year
to return Lieut.. Shackleton says it is
premature to express an opinion one way
or the other
We can only wait until we hear DIR.
Cooks full message Nobody has any
right to be skeptical. There is nothing
in his message but what is possible
Cooks Speed Phenomenal.
After reaching the pole continued
Lieut.. Shackelton, "and getting back to
solid land there is nothing to prevent
MIN from living with the Eskimos until
this year. Therefore i don't think the
length of his return is anything against
h-s statement
tance from the pole when DIR: Cook start
ed with the Eskimos? He must have
covered Twelve geographical miles daily
10 accomplish the distance in thirty-five
days.
No other expedition has been able 10
90 anything near that in the far north.
one or two miles daily is considered
good progress for an expedition
But in DIR. Cooks case there must
have been absolutely smooth ice This
condition is unique
Shackleton Realizes Hardships,
Lieut.. Shackleton in special article
contributed to Il morning newspaper
says:
nave very recent recollections of
the hardships OF the struggle in ice
bound regions. Therefore | can realize
the effort DR.. Cooks feat cost, and feel
personal pleasure that it has been
crowned with such magnificent success.
OF course the attainment of either
| pole will stop the fitting out of ex-
petitions des gned solely to reach the
| pole But even after both poles have
/, been reached, scientific expeditions will
continue to penetrate the polar reg ons,
which, apart from the poles themselves.
will remain a vast field for scientific
study and research -

MARBLEHEAD. Mass. September p
The German yacht Heveila won the third
race for the Sender yachts today in an
exciting contest.
An autumn Northwestern swept all six
of the boats out of the harbor under
blue skies. So lively was the breeze
that all the yachts tied in single reefs
before leaving their moorings.
The Germans made use of their IA
nous rolling reef. which turns the foot
of the sail around the boom like a
window curtain, the boom twisting on
swivel at the gooseneck.
The breeze as the boats left the mar
Dor was blowing up well to fifteen
knots an hour.
A few minutes before IL o'clock sig-
nails notified the yachts that the course
would be a triangular one. two miles

first leg was a beat to windward, north

Germans Renewed Hope.


Sender yachting for the President Taft
and Gov Drap cups was resumed. with
the Americans confident and the Ger
mans hopeful.
The days rest had taken away some
of the bitterness of the Germans at two
straigh. defeats. and had subdued the
tories of Monday and Tuesday.
1t is generally admitted that the sue
cess of the American boats over the Ger
mans in the moderately strong conditions
of Monday and Tuesday was somewhat
unexpec ed 1t was thought that at least
one of the German boats would prove
particularly fast in what was regarded
as typical Kiel weather
In the light of the two previous races
it seemed to be the Ip.nton thai the three
American designers. Boardman, Mower
ana burgess, have QUO des,gned the Ger
man naval architect, Max Oertz
The cen. est this year has been interest
ing becau-e al SIX bGalS are nearer alike
than ever before. and also because the
Germans had apparently prOrted by the
defeats of 13uo. and had sent to this
country yachts better fitted for the
smoother seas and l.gnter winds of Amer
lean wa .erS.
Mr.. Oertz is the designer Of all three OF
the German boats. He is regarded as the
leading naval architect of yachts in that
country.
Mr.. Oer.z is also designer of the two
big SchoOners which proved so fast earlier
in the year in the races at Cowes, Eng
land
II was rulnored here today that an Ell
fort would be made To have Mr.. Oertz de-
sign a challenger for the Americas cup in
behalf OF one of the royal family of Ger
many.

There Is some unfavorable COM
ment among the landseekers over the
fact that the Commercial club is sell

able impression Of the place. The
Palouee towns are giving away a
pamphlet which was issued under the
same conditions by the electric line
and the people OF that section. Walla
Walla and other towns are doing the
same thing, and Occur d'Alene ought
to fall In line. The sale OF these PAM
phlsts Is actually injurious to the city
and ought to stop, especially since
they are being disposed OF under the
auspices Of the Commercial club. II
looks too much like graft to strang-
ers. Personally. we do not care how
much the club charges these strang-
ers, but It IL the first time we have
ever heard OF people being required
TO pay for booster literature. Many
OF these people may return here tc
locate whether they secure reserya'
tion lands or not and 1t would be q
good investment to supply them with
information free OF charge rather
than create the impression that VIZ
are out for the dollar only. People
ought to look at these things from
the viewpoint OF the visitor rather
than from the narrow side Of th'
matter. There Is such thing 81
grasping for pennies at the cost o.
dollars. One has only to observe thu
stream OF strangers coming to th'
city to learn that they are a class o
prosperous American citizens Of intel
ligence and keen observation who viii
mako note OF things with which the,
come In contact. We believe that les
fuss about what the notaries are do

and furnishing free literature vii
bring better results than may pos
sibly be obtained In any other way.
