Signed Statement of Peary, Bartlett,
: Mcmillan, Rorup and Henson, in Re-
gard to Testimony of Cooks Two
Eskimo Boys.
The two Eskimo boys, I-took-a-shoo
and Ah-rc-lah, who accompanied DR..
Cook while he was ava from Anora-
tok in 1903 and 1909, were questioned
separately and Independently, and

father Of one of them U-tOok-a-shOo).
who was personally familiar with the
first third and the last third Of their
Journey, and who said that the route
Tor the remaining third as shown by
them, was IS described to him by his
son after his return with DR.. Cook.
The narrative of these Eskimos is
as follows:
They, with DR.. Cook, Francke and
nine other Eskilnos, left Anoratok,
crossed Smiths Sound to Cape Sabine,
sleTt in Commander Peary's old house
IN Payer Harbor, then went through
Rice strait 10 Buchanan bay. After a
few marches Francke and three Eski-
a.os returned to AnOratOk.
DR.. Cook, with the others, then pro
ceeded up Flagler bay, a branch OF
Buchanan hay, and crossed Files
mere Land through the valley pass at
the head Of F,.agler bay, indicated by
Commander Peary in 1898, and utilized
ty Syerdrup in 1899, to the head OF
syerdrup's Bay Fiord' on the west
SIDE of Ellesmere Land.
Their route hen lay out through
this ford, thence north through Sver
drup's "Heuerka Sound" and Nanse1
strait.
On their way they killed musk oxer
and bear, and made caches, arriving
eventually at a point on the west sid
of hansen strait (shore of AXel Hei
berg Land of Sverdrup), south o
Cape Thomas Hubbard.
A cache was formed here and tn
four Eskirros did not go beyond thi
point. Two others, KoOlootingWah an

disclaimer to protect himself against
the embarrassment of correspondence

ed that he advocated the licensing of
cats. whereas he made no suggestion of
such a policy. He does make, however
some interesting statements concerning
cats and classes them among the ma =
tural enemies of birds, in which he
would find little difficulty in meeting
all challengers. The cat is something
of d gourmet. and while rats and nice
content it as stable diet. it is always

Cats are held to be more destructive of
bird life than even hawks. because
while one of the latter may destroy
80 birds in year and the cat not
more than 30, there are at least 100
cats to every bird hawk, and provided
that these cats averaged only 10 birds
apiece in a year, they would destroy
1,5oo birds to $50 killed by the hawk"

WHEELING.W w. Va, November %, 1909.
Efforts to induce State Senator Fred o.
Blue Of Barbour county to become a can
didate for the republican nomination for
Congress in the second West Virginia
district against Representative George c.
Sturgiss of Monongalia seem to be de-
yeloping an interesting sidel!ght. The
green-eyed monster Immediately looms on
the horizon.
1t is said that in the event of Blues en-
trance in the fight he will discover unex
pected support for Sturgiss. Another
hustling young republican, who is burn
ing with congressional ambition. is State
Senator Howard Sutherland of the county
of Randolph. For years the same am
bition has been cherished by Judge John
H. Holt of Taylor county. Each would
not be unwilling under certain conditions
to take a fling at the fortunes of con-
gressiGnal convention in the next few
months, but while anxious to supplant
Sturgiss, neither Sutherland nor Holt
cares to see Blue capture the prize.
Consequently Holt and Sutherland think
il Blue is going to fight Sturg:ss their
chances will best be advanced by wait
ing game. In other words, they figure
that if successful this time Blue will be
/
the end that their prospects will be of
little value comparatively. Each is under
the impression that he is of sufficient
stature to take the measure of Sturgiss

parently has been promised Blue. or of
defeating Sturgiss on common ground

and Randolph likewise in the Sutherland
possession. and it is on these calculations
that the hopes of the Stursiss adherents
are based in the event of contest with
Blue. The friends of Sturgss concede the
size and character of his opposition. but
! they profess not to be alarmed. Without
combination of the field against the
present representative. which they believe
unlikely, they are of the opinion that the
