but thought that she, like himself,
was afraid to demonstrate it.

Known as "Callicoon Dutchman."

New YOrk.-Thc man who has ac-
cOmplished what daring explorers for
centuries have strivcn to do was
known up in sullivan county, where
he was born, as a "CallicOon Dutch
man." and for years was a partner in
the mill business with his brother,
William l.. Cook of Brooklyn.
DR.. Frederick Albert Cook, physician
surgeon, scientist and explorer, comes
of Pennsylvania Dutch stock. the fam
lily name having been Koch. His ia
ther, DR.. Theodore Albert Cook, set
tied with others of the same stock near
Callicoon, a station on the Erie rail
road in Sullivan county, and there DR..
Cook was born A years ago.
From ~boyhood DR.. Cook was inter
ested in scientific explorations and in
1891, after struggling a year to build
UP a practice. jumped at the chance to
GO on to the north as surgeon with
Peary. That n trip gave him the
Arctic fever and fired him with ambi.
ton to be the first man to reach the
north pole.
In 1894 DR.. Cook was in charge OF an
expedition for scientific research along
the coast Of Newfoundland, Labrado

Can Not Fool Scientists.

Washington.-Fcw scientists are in
Washington at this time, but those
here say DR.. Cook could not fool the
scientific world as TO the truth of his
reported discovery Of the north pole.
They say the toughest calculations
would prove his claims, inasmuch as
he undoubtedly was equipped with pro,
per Instruments, such as a sextant or
a pocket transit, and his daily OBJ
servations may be compared with the
known positions of the sun and thus
his figures will be proved.

How Cook Reached the Pole.

OF the discovery, April 81, 1908, is
WashiAgton or Greenwich time. AS the
pole is without longitude and there is
no rising or setting of the sun there,
no way of determining the time by the
Greenwich meridian exists. Cooks
statement that there is land beyond
the pole is assailcd by nearly all the
English scientists as ~unprorahlo from
the data that he is said to have Sc
cured.

People Once Lived at the
North Pole.

Neither Cook nor Peary was the
first man to reach the north pole-nor
the second nor the 10. OOOth man.
This is the surprising theory upheld
by Robert II. La Toilette. senator
from Wisconsin. Here is an editorial
opinion advanced by La Follette's 8
Magazine, of which he is editor:
"The real facts about the discovery
of the pole are sure to come out.
There can be no harm, therefore. in
our stating them now. Far be it
from US to cast an additional flv into
the dubious pot of arctic ointment.
and it is in no spirit of captiousness
that we suggest that as matter Of
hard prehistoric fact. the pole was
very " ell known and frequently visited
in the remote. unCooked, nom
Pearvized ages of the past.

public. is merely lump of matter

pole, for the simple reason that
everywhere else it was scalded or
frizzled on sight. When man appeared +,
he sweltered at the pole, that being
the only place where he could live, :,
even by sweltering. AS society
developed, its center Was naturally
nearest the pole, where it was cool.
after while the tropical regions
of Alaska and Labrador were the
seats of empire. while the pole had
become a summer resort. 1t was a
ducking ground and hunting region
long after that, and with a million
wears or SO of this present year must
have been a good agricultural and
lumb ering region.
"There would really seem to be no
reason for heart -burnings, in addition
to the inevitable chilblains incident
to the matter, over who in this age
first revisited this ancient haunt of
our forefsthers-what We may. call
our old polar home.

had acquired the land by loaning the
money necessary to buy it to the man
who originally purchased it. says a
Yakima paper. Mr.. Allen confessed
that he quit his trade with much
doubt and reluctance, because he
feared that five acres would not make
farm sufficient to support his family.
While in the city recently making
his purchases for the season. Mr..
Allen confided to friend that he had
made this year a little over $1,000
from three acres of fruit on his FIVE
acre farm. devoting the other two
acres to house room, chicken run.
