WHEN Or. COOK MADE
HIS GREAT RESOLVE

Washington, Sept. 3.-Persons who
attended the annual dinner of the Ma
tional Geographical society in Wash
ington in 1907 today recalled that
both DR. Frederick A. Cook, the man
who has discovered the north pole.
and Lieutenant Peary. the noted Arc
tic explorer. were guests on that oc-
casion. Dr. Cook had accomplished
the feat of climbing Mount Mckinley
and was among the speakers of tho

Messages For Him Pour Into Copenhagen
With All Kinds Of Money Making Pro-
POSITIONS ===DaSh to Pole Well Planned

New York. Sept. 3.-While the first
reports indicated that the dash for
the pole" was the unprecedented out
come of a fishing and hunting trip
along the Labrador coast Mr.. Bradley
now states that this was not true and
that Dr. Cooks expedition was per
haps the most carefully planned OF any
previous polar attempts. Mr.. Bradley
states that secrecy was maintained
as to the ultimate object OF the trip,
because, had DIR. Cook failed, much
unpleasant controversy could be avoid

schooner-yacht. which took the party

knew that he had a polar expedition
until orders were given near Etah.
supplies ashore
That the journey TO the pole was
well planned is shown by the quantity
and nature of the supplies which the
schooneryacht deposited on Green
land for Or Cook These included ten
thousand cans of provisions; 5000 gal
Ions of gasoline; 1000 gallons OF al
cohol; two barrels of gum drops, which
are currency with the sQuimauX in
stead of money. guns and knives for
trading. hickory lumber for building
sleds and sheds and great quantities
of staple groceries. In all there were
sufficient provisions to last the party
for three years. An item which in
dicates the care with which the ex-
pedition was planned is that of re-
-dncing weight-on stoves. Other Polar
expeditions carried brass or iron
stoves. which weighed from IL to 10
pounds each. DIR. Cooks stoves were
made of aluminium and weighed only
three pounds each thus each stove
allowed for the carrying of about IL
pounds more OF provisions on each
sledge.
Besides the fame that will endure
for centuries which comes to DR..
Cook for his achievement. he is des-
tined also to reap a fortune.
His friends believe that wealth
awaits him through the writing which
he most likely will publish and
through lectures, A well-knOwn vau-
deville manager in this city has al
ready cabled TO Copenhagen Offering
Dr. Cook $4,000 a week for ten weeks
to appear In his various vaudeville
houses and lecture on his arctic ex-
periences The European agents of
three other vaudeville managers have
been cabled Instructions TO Copen-
hagen to meet DR.. Cook and TO offer
him princely salaries for his lecture
services.
Another result of DR. Cooks sue
cess NAV be that the land which he
reports having discovered Will be
called Cooks Land. An effort is now
on foot among DR. Cooks supporters
to bring this about
