New York. Sept. 2S.-"I shall await
events" said DR.. Cook to the Assoc
ciated Press just before he left the
deck Of the Oscar II. at quarantine to-
day to be brought to the city by the
welcoming committee. s
When my material has beer got to-
gether and put into shape, it will be
submitted in tho first instance to the
University Of Copenhagen. After that
1t will be laid before the geographical
societies of the world. I will not con-
sent to submit any. fragmentary por-
ords to any other. The report and all
the data connected with my trip must
be examined In their entirety, together
with my instruments, some OF which I
have in my possession now, and others
of which are on their way to America
at the present moment. These viii all
be properly controlled and tested be-
fore submission to the scientific
bodies"
i. Asked why he did not Immediately
give full details Of his achievement DR..
Cook said:
Il have given to the public q con
else account Of my Journey similar to
return from q Journey Of exploration.
For h present no other. details are
necessary and as a matter OF fact no
further specific events of my claim
have been called for from any side. 1t
has never been customary hitherto for
explorers to make their full record
public in such haste. As a rule scien-
tific societies are not remarkable for
their rapidity in coming to conclusions.

COOK RE,TERATEs HIS
CLAIM OF DISCOVERY

New York, Sept. 23.-Dr. Frederick
A. Cook, who arrived in New York to-
day. and who will bo given q great re.
esptions by his friends and admirers in
this city this afternoon, gave out Q
signed statsment, brisay rsiteratins his
claim 20 having di:eovsred the pole,
and asserting HE ability. to prove il, at
the same time disolaimina any desire
for controversy with Poary.
What Or. Cook Says.
Dr. Cooks statement follows:
ION Board the Oscar II.-After one
Of the most delightful trips of my life
across the Atlantic. I am extremely
glad once more to zee the shores of my
native land. I have come from the
north pole. I have brought my story
and my data with me. The public has
already q tangible and specific record of
that trip. In q very short time, the
narrative, with all its observations, will
DO published and placed before the
world for examination.
ut 10 as q 81 for you as for me to
understand why I cannot, on the i'm
script which covers the work Of two
years. Az said upon several occasions,
all the charges, accusations and express
aions Of disbelief are based upon entire
ignorance OF the supplementary data
which I possess. No n who has ever
spoken OF written on the subject in OPP
position to my claim knows Of the facts
with which such work Of exploration Is
measured. All OF the criticisms have
been based upon obvious errors in the
reproductions Of my first dispatch or
upon the discussions Of petty side is
sues presented by unfair critics.
No Blowing Of Trumpsts.
THE expedition was private. It was
started out without the usual publicity
and bombast. Mr.. John r. Bradley
furnished the money and I shaped the
destiny Of the venture.
For the time being 1t concerned us
only, but the results were SO important
that on returning I at ono placed be-
fore the public a report containing the
main outline OF the work.
II have not come home to enter into
arguments with one man or with so
men, but ! am here to present a clear
record Of a piece Of work over which
I have q right to display a certain
amount Of pride. When scientists study
the detailed observations and the mar
rAttve in it's consecutive order, I am
certain all will be compelled to admit
the truth OF my statement.
II am perfectly willing to abide by
the final verdict Of competent judges.
That must be the last word in the dis
cussiOn and that alone can satisfy me
and the public.
Furthermore, rot only will my re-
port be before you in black and white,
but I will also bring to America human
the pole.

Two Parties Are rendered
Young Folk During Week.

Wibaux was unusually active in
social circles during the past week,
and especially for the young folks,
when a series Of parties were given
at the home oe Mrs. Chas. Clark
and Mrs. W. Ell. Rucker.
The social functions were each
given as valentine parties, and the
first of the series to take place was
that rendered in honor of Mis-;
Elsie Clark, at her home on Thurs
day evening, when about twenty
four of her young friends and school
mates assembled there. The even
ing was pleasantly spent in playing
different games which were very
appropriate for the occasion.
Among some of the leading feat.
ures Of the evenings pleasures
were the contests, and as result
Of the first one, two prizes were
awarded, Miss Ethel Pickering re-
ceiving box Of chocolate creams
as first prize, and Walter Bell the
BOBBY prize, stick Of candy. The
second contest was held as means
of choosing partners for supper,
and although it was somewhat Of a
different nature, to the first one, it
was none the less appreciated.
After each one had secured their
partners they were seated to q most

The Pioneer is in receipt OF the
fol owing special correspondence
from Gen. Pass. Agt. C.eland, OF
St. Paul, concerning new rates Low
effective to Wibaux from points
East, which the people OF Wibaux
and vicinity will, undoubtedly be
pleased to learn. The letter is
self-explanatory ana reads as follow:
The Northern Pacific has placed
in effect round trip Homeseekers'
fares from it's gateways to points
in Montana, effective the first and
third Tuesdays OF each month dur
ing 1909.
The az gressive policy which this
action indicates and the disposition
OF the management to employ every
means possible to promote the vel
fare OF the territory which the rail
way serves cannot but create A ia
vorable impression among those
who have the interests Of Montana
lat heart.
The besis Of the fares will be
such as to incite vast amount of
travel and the move gives every
promise Of being a great factor in
the future well-being Of the entire
Pacific Northwest. The fares to
Wibaux will be $22. from ST.

Chicago; $3O.n0 from st. Louis;
