Nearly 1000 Anglers.

A total of S39 fishing lisenses have
been taken out in this county during
the season so far and there is every
indication that the thousand mark
will be reached before the close of
the summer. 1t is doubtful if any
other county in the state will exceed
this record. The phenomenal fishing
season has been responsible to a
great extent for the large number of
licenses taken out.

DR.. COOKS PROOFS
ARE FOUND FAULTY
Copenhagen Satisfied North
Pole Records Are Not
Convincing.

COPENHAGEN. Dec. 2O.-The com
mittee that is Investigating Dr. Fred
erick A. Cooks polar data, deeply en-
barrassed. by the former champion
ship OF the explorer by nearly all OF
its members and its inability to find
anything that approaches proof in
the data, win get out Of the muddIe
as gracefully as possible by making
a non-commjttal report. neither ad-
verse nor favorable TO Dr. Cook.
This IS the situation as outlined by
one of the University Of Copenhagen
professors today. who is cOgnizant OF
the work that is going on inside the
committees rooms. This professor
declared that the members Of the
committee were unable TO reach a
unanimous decision. the Danish mem
bers insisting on resolving every
doubt in Cooks favor, while the for
eign members favor the complete re-
lection Of his evidence.
In view OF this it has been prac-
tcially decided, according to today's
report. to give a verdict declaring the
committee rs unwarranted IN say
ing that DR.. Cook either did or did
not reach the Pole. Even DR.. Cooks
stanChest friends on the committee
admit that the data leave much room
for doubt, and that a favorable YER
dict would be open t. attack along
many scientific lines.
The data are so complete that ft Is
said DR.. Cooks presence before the
committee could not help matters
any. For this reason he viii not be
asked 10 appear.

there is gossip to the effect that
Mr.. Bacon viii not find the road
to confirmation easy aud at least
that his name viii be held I'D until
after the holidays. Senator Root
will do what he can to smooth
the way for Mr.. Bacon.
Other Nominations Made.
One Of the Senators who Is not LOSING
sleep IN his eagerness to do a friendly
turn for Mr.. Bacon Is Senator Knute
Nelson Of Minnesota. Senator Nelson
is a fighter, and there IS no man IN
Congress more apertinactous than he
when aroused.
