The Parker Expedition.
Whatever the fate of Cook, Professor
Parker promises to conquer the great
mountain if it's summit can be reached
by man. He is an experienced noun
tain climber, having scaled several
peaks in British Columbia hitherto
deemed inaccessible. There are six of
these mountains up which Professor
Parker made first ascents-Go
Dawson, Hungabee. Deltaform, Biddle
and LEROY. The icy and precipitous
character of the Canadian peaks rem
der them peculiarly difficult. Pro-
fessor Parker says they are harder to
climb than the Alps. In these ascents
he had with him two Swiss guides
who had been all over the peaks in
their own land and were wary. sure
footed and seasoned. The tales told
by Professor Parker after his return
from the northwest are sufficiently
thrilling. Crawling along lodges two

they had reached the top Of the noun

has always been frankly sceptical, and
other members Of the party have ex-
pressed the same doubt, most of them
in sworn affidavits
Involves the Polar Controversy.
The Mount Mckinley controversy in
wolves that regarding the discovery of
the north pole, to which it offers a
startling parallel. In both all members
of the party were dismissed except one
or two witnesses, and in both these
witnesses now repudiate DR.. Cooks
claim and assert that the explorer
went but short distance toward the
goal. In both cases Cook says he
buried his records in a small brass
tube. In both his description of the
adventure is full of color and literary
charm, the singular parallel even in
Guiding reference to purple shows
at the top of the peak and the ton of
the world. And in both DR.. Cook has
been doubted by scientists and accent
ed by the general public.
II the polar controversy had not
arisen it is scarcely possible that any
thing further would have been heard
Of the Mount Mckinley case. But
when Cook made his claim to the big
ger discovery the evidence as to the
smaller one became important In
deed much of the doubt aroused bv his
announced reaching Of the '.big nair'
was caused by the suspicion cast on
the earlier exploit. If it were proved
now that he reached the top of Mount
Mckinley it would go far toward es-
tablishing popular belief in his second
claim. But if it were proved, as
claimed by Barrill, that he did not get
within fifteen miles Of the top of the
mountain the world would say, "Once

Hyland, a government weigher, las a
client of ours" He received from Vail, he
testified, the assurance:
Il will see that you are taken care of"
To the witness fearful objections when
the swindle was first proposed, Hyland
replied, according to the testimony, that
the surveyors office must go before you to
get into trouble; there is too many in It,"
One of the letters introduced today, said
to have been written to young Musica by
Hyland, said: Have just had a long talk
with Jim, and repeat that it has not been

would have to do what was right" in
order to get the shipments weighed
promptly.
"HylaDd gave me the names OF several
foreign shippers. whom I knew and also of
many importers" said the witness and
said they were all making money and

Increasinr school Rfficiency.

At a meeting of the Board of Education
lastA May, Superintendent J. H. Beverage
made a recommendation for the purpose
OF increasing the efficiency Of the schools
TO the effect hat at the end OF each semi
quarter every pupil who had failed in any
subject should be reported to the superin-
tendent. These reports were made at the
end OF the first ~semi-quarter, including
both high school and grades. Letters were
sent to the parents indicating the failure
and the cause. over GOO letters were sent
out from the superintendent's office. Par
sntA were asked to call upon the teacher
or principal OF the school where the child
attended and talk over the matter and see
II there were not suggestions which could
be mutually given that would tend to
make the child's work better. Many re-
ports have come direct to the supsrlntend-
ent's office. Others have come to the
principals and teachers. and In every in
stance the parent has expressed his APP
proval OF the method and has very cour-
teously and kindly assisted In taxing such
steps as will promote increased interest in
study.
Mr.. Bsveridge suggested that he wished
TO thank the parents for the interest that
they were taking and expressed his opin-
ion that he believed that the number OF
failures could be materially educe In this
way. and also that the general standing OF
the pupils could be increased.
