IOMAHAWK AND EAGLE RIVER
PLAY TIE GAME TX

The football team of the Tom
ahawk High School met the local
High School team on the eridiron
Saturday afternoon and the re-
suit was tle,-o to o. In the
first hall the local team made re-
peated gains through the visitors
line and kept the ball in their ter
rltory all the time, and at one time
had the ball within foot of the
visitors line, but in the next plav
tumbled and the quarter took the
ball across and the local team was
penalized Is yards,
In the second half at no time
was either goal in danger as the
ball was held near the center of
the field all the while, each team
looslng the ball repeatedly on
downs. The Tomahawk boys
played clean and fast game.
The entire game was the finest
ever played on the home field,
both teams playing good, strong
and clean game. The visitors
were a manly lot of good fellows,
and were accompanied by their
professor, d. H. Jeffers.

Il40 HOOK AND LINE LICENSES V
Deputy Game Warden James
Oberholtzer reports that he sent
in to the state SII4o as retur
for the II4o hook and line licen-
ses issued in this vicinity the past
season. AS these licenses are
for male non-residents, the num-
Der shows that nearly all if
not all took out licenses. MIR
OberhoItzer was kept busy during
the season, but from the number
of licenses taken out in his terri
tory he certainly eaiened his sal
ary. The first of the season there
was a general complaint, not on
account of the SI.oo license, but
on the inconvenience OF getting
them. This was easily remedled,
as Mr.. Oberholtzer placed a book
of licenses at all of the resorts and
hotels besides with the local JuStl-
ces. and the tourists could easily
get a license at most any turn OF
a corner. The money collected
from the licenses is divided, one
half to the game warden fund and
the other half to the fish COM

BABES NEAR DEATH
As IS SHOPS BURN
Property at Junction OF WASH
ington Street and Montgom-
cry Avenue Destroyed

From a fire that destroyed 15 shops
and stores in the gore at the junction
of Washington street and Montgomery
avenue last night, five Chinese children
were rescued under dramatic circum-
stances by some of their fellow coun-
trymen Further spread of the fire
was checked by the Cresco hotel, a
brick building that extends through
the gore from one street to the other.
The estimated loss was between $5o.oo0
and 100000.
The children were asleep in the rear
of the overall factory at 6s2 and 634
Washington street, belonging to Gee
Yee and Hung Fat, and as there was no
rear outlet the rescuers were forced to
run past the rapidly increasing flames,
which scorched their hair and blistered
their arms, faces and necks. The chill
dren belonged to Sing Yee and Hung
Yee, and when their rescuers arrived
the little Orientals were almost suf-
focated.
HOTEL GUESTS DRIVEN OUT
What caused ne fire is unknown. 1t
originated in the paint shop of G. Orsi,
which abuts the rear of the Chinese
overall factory. The flames took an
indirect path and thus cut off the re-
treat from the place where the chill
dren were sleeping before 1t attacked
their beds.
While the wooden structures were
burning the Cresco hotel became so
heated that the occupants were forced
to fee to the street. but none Of them
had retired, as the fire began at 6:46
o'clock and had done its work in less
than an hour
FACTORY AND STORES BURNED
In addition to the overall factory and
the paint store belonging to Orsi. the
following places were destroyed: Gays
tin shop. 622 Washington; Elcola Pran-
dipi,s tailor shop, 61S Washington; the
shop of Siro Marnelli, ornamental plas-
terer. 612 Washington; store of the
Klein electric company, 610 Washing

More Than Half Amount

BERKELEY, Sept 14.-With half the
time passed in which pledges for the
building of the Y. M. G. A. headquar-
ters will be received to secure 500 900
for the structure. more than half of
the amount has been received by the

that the total amount represented in
pledged Subscriptions made total of
$50,O70. with four days more for the

rivalry between them Is keen. An
average of. more than $4,000 a day
has been reached, and at this rate the
fund will pass the amount necessary
for building to be begun at the corner

aggressive attitude toward his rival.
DR.. Frederick A. Cook. and with Doctor
Cook bevond the reach of wireless on
the ocean, the fame of the north pole
controversy must be fed by supporters
of the two explorers, rather than by
the principals
Doctor Cook has held his tongue all
along with the assurance that he
would make good when the time
came. but until today Commander
Pearv has flashed at intervals curt
messages from Labrador questioning
the achievement Of the Brooklyn ex-
pIorer. When interviewed today, how
ever. Peary said that he declined to
enter into further debate until Doc
tor Cook has issued his full authorized
statement" At the same time the COM
mander emphatically reafarmed that Il
am the only white man who has ever
reached the north pole"
Honors for Both
With the situation as it stands the
world can but bide its time until Doc
tor Cooks arrival in New York, where
he is due on September 81. Meanwhile
plans for the reception of both ex-
plorers are being completed
The time of the Roosevelt's departure
from Battle Harbor is still indefinite
and the vessel will reach Sydney sew
eraI days after Doctor Cook reaches
New York.
Little If anything of weight on either
side OF the controversy was produced
today. Herbert Bridgman. secretary
of the Peary arctic club, who is in
sydney. declared as false the story that
Pesry had appropriated Doctor Cooks
stores in the north. saying he had
merely saved" them.
Scientists have generally withdrawn
from the debate
Commander Peary has intimated that
the Roosevelt would not be allowed to
participate in the Hudson-Fulton cele-
brstion naval parade if Cooks schooner
. the John R. Bradley, was similarly
honored.

Returns From Mount Whitney

Professor Campbell has just COM
pleted a synopsis of the results of the
recent expedition from Lick observa-
tory to Mount Whitney, the highest
point of land in the United States. The
expedition was made possible by Will
liam H. Crocker. the banker and regent
of the state university. The report of
Doctor Campbell indicates that it was
highly successful.
The primary object of observation
was the atmosphere of the planet Mars
The astronomers devoted themselves to
the study of the question of water
vapor about the celestial body. Con-
ditions on Mount Whitney were "su-
perlatively favorable to quote Doctor
Campbell The height was chosen be-
cause it placed the astronomers above
most of the water vapor about the
earth and lessened the extraneous ef-
feet on the Photographic plates.
The method of procedure was scien-
tifically simple. 1t is known that no
water vapor exists about the moon.
The moon and Mars were photographed
ditions Water vapor is reflected in a
planet by dark bands at certain definite
positions in its spectrum. No such
bands were revealed on Mars.
Some Vapor May Exist
@This does not mean that Mars has
no water vapor,v writes Doctor Camp
bell 'sbut only that the quantity pres
ent, if any, must be very slight. Let
us recall that we see Mars by reflected
sunlight. The rays which reached our
instruments passed from the sun into
the Martian atmosphere, for the most
part down to the surface of the planet,
and then out again to us, thus passing
twice through the planets atmosphere
and any water vapor it may contain.
Even with this multiplying effect on
Mars the vapor bands in the Martian
and lunar spectra were alike, and we
conclude that any water vapor in the
Martian atmosphere must have been
much less extensive than was contained
in the rarefied and remarkably dry air
strata above Mount whitney.
"These observations" concludes Doc
tor Campbell, do not prove that life
does not or can not exist on Mars. The
question of life under these conditions
is the biologists problem rather than
the astronomers

ONLY WHITE MAN
TO REACH POLE
IS pEARY'S CLAIM

BATTLE HARBOR. Labrador, Sept.
Il. via wireless TO Cape Ray--'I am
the only white man who has ever
reached the north pole and 1 am pre-
pared to prove it,
This statement was made to the rep
resentative of the Associated Press by
Commander Robert E. Peary in reply
TO a question on the Peary-Cook con-
troversy.
The Associated Press tug Douglas
Thomas, after a stormy passage up the
through the strait of Belle Isle from
sydney. arrived at this lonely Whaling
and mission settlement at noon yes
terday. A squall of rain was sweeping
over the harbor as the Thomas steamed
in, but with glasses it was possible to
make out the hull of the arctic steamer
Roosevelt moored in the inner bay.
The Thomas broke out the North
Pole" flag. the same emblem that was
flying from the mizzenmast of the
Roosevelt. and signaled:
The Associated Press congratulates
YOU"
Signals His Thanks
The Roosevelt then signaled the
thanks of Commander Peary for this
message.
The Thomas drew near TO the Roose-
welt. Captain Bartlett invited the
Thomas to lie alongside and the cor
respondent 10 come on board without
delay. The correspondent clambered
over the weather beaten bulwarks and
proceeded direct to the cabin to meet
the man who has stood upon the apex
OF the world. The commanders greet
ing was cordial.
The correspondent at once began
questioning the explorer regarding the
merits of DR.. Frederick A Cooks claim
10 having reached the pole. The COM
nander declared positively that he
would not further discuss this subject
until the main point, whether Doctor
Cook had actually reached the north
pole or not, had been decided by others
He then dictated the following tele-
gram to the Associated Press for publ
cation:
4 am the only white man who has
ever reached the north pole, and 1 am
prepared to prove it at the proper time.
] have already stated publicly that
Cook has not been TO the pole. This
reahirm and ] Will stand by it, but
decline TO discuss the details of the
matter These will come out later. /
have said that Doctor Cooks statement
that he had reached the pole should not
be taken seriously and that have him
nailed by concrete proof to support my
statement In six months you probably
will get the whole story.
1T would not be policy for me to
enter upon full debate with the sub
ject as it now stands. To do so I
would be giving out much information
