SEATTLE MAN SAYS EXPLOR-
Err ALWAYS SAID THAT
LARGE PARTY WOULD NOT
| REACH GOAL LONG SOUGHT
(By United Press Leased Wire

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SEATTLE, Sept. 3.-Wallace p.
Miller, photographer and news
paperman of Seattle, who accom-
panied DR.. Cook on his expedi-
ltions to Mount Mckinley In 1903
land 1906, heard without surprise
the report that DR.. Cook had dis
covered the North Pole, for dur
ling the two attempts to scale
Mount Mckinley DR.. Cook had
discussed plans for reaching the
Pole, outlining program that
tailed with the report from Den
mark, even to the point where
1.-THE first news should be sent
|out.
Miller made the trip up Mt.
Mckinley with DR.. Cook in 1908,
when the party was up 1000 feet
before it turned back because of
the sheer precipice of Ice and
granite that rose above them.
Three years later, when DR.. Cook,
accompanied only by Ed Barrill,
a packer of Hamilton, Mont,
made the trip that was announced
to be successful, Miller remained
behind with a second packer to
take care of the camp and look
after other detail.
Experienced Man Could Reach
Pole.
Sin our discussion during the
two Mount Mckinley expeditions,
DR.. Cook frequently asserted that
the North Pole would never be
discovered by a big expedition
such as all other explorers had
outfitted and taken with them.
He asserted that an experienced
man, travelling light, could reach
the Pole. He suggested that one
white man and party of as many
natives as might be absolutely
necessary should be all that would
be taken by the explorer. His
trip. now reported successful, was
just such a Journey as DR.. Cook
had outlined.
"Peary two years ago brought
back word that on his last trip
he had found traces of musk OK.
J. r. Bradley, New Yorker and
friend of DR.. Cook, QUILTED a
ship to go on hunting trip as A
result of this report. In the
north, as / have been told by mel
on the Bradley excursion. Dr.
Cook asked for is months pro-
visions and one man to make a
dash for he pole He begged
to be set ashore and allowed to
take his chances.
Bradley Objected to Expense.
bradley objected strenuously,
claiming that he had no money to
outflt a relief expedition and that
DR.. Cooks trip must fail. The
northern explorer declared that
there would be no necessity for a
relief expedition and with this un-
|derstanding Cook and Que man
wore put ashore. The laan who
went with Cook was subsequent
|ly found BY Peary where he had
been left by Cook.
"A short time ago Mrs. Cook
became alarmed at the continued
absence of her husband and APP
|pealed for funds for a relief ex-
|peditson. This offort. however.
was not successful and DR.. Cook
has reported through his own re-
sources.
In Position He Desired.
WORD came back from the
Cook expedition that he had gath
ared up the hest nativsss who had
accompanied Peary on his polar
expeditions and had taken the
