CAPTAIN SWIFT SAYS
HE BELIEVES DIR. COOK
DID FIND THE POLE

SEATTLE, Sept. 12.-Captain Z. A.
Swift of the barge Neptune. which ar
rived in port today, declares that he
has faith in Doctor Cook, and not only
believes that he discovered the north
pole. but also that he ascended Mount
Mckinley.
Doctor Cook was brave, fearless and
a born leader of men, said Captain
Swift. AT the time he entered Alaska
he talked of ascending Mount McKin-
ley and he made a proposition to me
that / refused because of its danger.
Il was running the Caswell on the
Susitna and Yentna rivers. which flow
from the mountain I hauled the gaso-
line for Doctor Cooks launch and in
this way first met the explorer. He
told me that he would climb Mount
Mckinley and proposed that I take
him up. the Chullitna rapids through
the Box canyon in his launch. / had
never seen the rapids, but had talked
with miners enough to know that the
water ran over the sharp rocks with
a speed of IL miles an hour and that
the ascent was very dangerous I
declined to make the trip, but Doctor
Cook took two men and went through
the rapids. Afterward / met miner
who told me he had seen the launch
in the canyon with full power on, MAX
ing slow but sure headway up stream.
After Doctor Cook ascended the
rapids he landed at the base of the
mountain on the south side, where he
followed beaten tracks of animals up
the mountain This he told me after

DENMARK FAITHFUL
IN SUPPORT OF COOK
AS DISCOVERER OF POLE

COPENHAGEN, Sept. 12-Denmark
apparently remains faithful in support
Ing Doctor Cook. All the Copenhagen
newspapers today reiterate their be-
lief in him. Sentiment doubtless is a
factor in this feeling; the Danes are
proud that the explorer visited their
country first. Moreover. there is a
noticeable prejudice against Com
mander Peary on account of the re-
ports from the Danish colony in Green
land of his treatment of the Eskimos
and the allegations by Captain Sver-
drup's friends that Peary treated Sver-
drup shabbfly when the two expedi-
tions met in the Arctic.
With regard to the alleged i'll treat
ment of the Eskimos it has NOT been
possible to secure any definite speci-
fications here supporting this story.
Today's newspaper discussion brings
to light only one new fact. The Lon
don Daily Chronicle, which is attempt
ing to prove Doctor Cook an impostor.
published an interview which its CORE
spondent here had with Mrs Ras-
mussen. in which Mrs. Rasmussen is
quoted as saying that her husband in
formed her by letter that his talks
with the Eskimos led him to doubt
Doctor Cooks story. The interpreter
who translated Mrs. Rasmussens
words for the Chronicle correspondent
has sent a letter to the papers ex-
pressing regret that his imperfect
knowledge of English caused him to
report Mrs. Rasmussen as saying ex-
actly the opposite of what she said

ABRUzzI'S RETURN
RECALLS ROMANCE
Duke Welcomed at Marseilles
After Expedition to High
Peak of HimaIayas

MARSEILLES, Sept 13.-The duke OF
the Abruzzi was given an impressive
reception on his arrival here today
aboard the steamer Oceana- An i'm
mense crowd had gathered at the wharf
to greet the distinguished explorer
about whom clings the popular idea
that his trip to the Himalayas resulted
from the rupture of his romance with
Miss Elkins.
II am sorry that I was not able to
complete all that l had planned he
added, but the results nevertheless
were satisfactory. I hold the record
for the highest ascension in the Hima-
layas. the previous record. being held by
a Norwegian who crossed Mount kabru
at height of $4,000 feet My ex-
pedition reached the top of Bright Pic,
in the Godwin-Austin range at a
height of 24.S90 feet. I bring back
reports which l believe will prove in
teresting in my forthcoming book"
= The greatest curiosity exists as to
the dukes destination when he leaves
here tomorrow. His motor car came
to Marseilles from Turin to meet him.
Members of his party intimate that
he will go direct to Racconigi to visit
the royal family. There some sus-
picion, however, that he intends to go
to Paris.

returned with him on the Danish gov
ernment steamer Hans Egede.
Now that Doctor Cook has gone,
he writes, Il am no longer under any
obligations to keep silent and viii ex-
ercise my right to publish the story
about the house in Annatook, a story
which Doctor Cook himself had too
much delicacy 10 relate to the world.
write it from memory, as Doctor
Cook told it to me, and | am fully
convinced that in no details are my
reconections wrong.
..Dr. Cook had built his house for
stores in Annatook. north of Etah, and
it was this depot which he started
to reach in February. 1903, crossing
Smith sound. 1t was pretty large
house. the walls being built of heavily
filed provision boxes. so that Doctor
Cook knew that when this important
point was reached everything was
safe. He had. before the start. given
permission to young friend named
whitney to use the house while hunt
ing musk oxen for sport in the winter
of 190s-s.
"when Doctor Cook and his two
Eskimos. exhausted and half starved
came within a short distance OF the
house in Annatook, young Whitnes
came out to bid him welcome, but IN
side the house was a stranger giant
Newfoundland boatswain. on watch.
This man had been placed in Doctor
Cooks house by Peary when the latter
passed Etah with his ship bound north-
Pearv had given the boatswain writ
ten order. which commenced WITH the
following words;
This house belongs to DR.. freezer
ick A. Cook. but >Doctor Cook is long
ago dead and there is no use 70 seaaer
after him. Therefore, I, Commander
Robert E. Peary. install my boatswaln
in this deserted house
This paper the boatswain, VINO
could neither read nor write, exhioited
to Doctor Cook and the latter took
copy.
This copy. however, he does not in
tend to publish if PeaFy's course does
not force him to do so. Doctor COOK
gave me a lively account of how the
young millionaire. Whitney. during the
whole winter was treated like dog
hy the boatswain and how he had wit
messed the sailor bartering Doctor
Cooks provisions for fox and bear
skins for himself Doctor Cook also
had to put a good face on the unpleas-
ant situation He had to beg to get
in his house and had to make COM
promise with the boatswain
Doctor Cook made a present OF the
house with all its contents to his two
faithful Eskimos, with the proviso that
whitney was to have the use of the
house as long as his hunting trip
lasted. but he was compelled to let the
boatswain continue his watch. The
boatswain. = however, received strict
orders not to exchange any more OF
the provisions or guns.
ITO Mr.. Whitney, Doctor Cook gave
his instructions and his observations,
as he thought these precious things
were safer there than on the long
sledge trip in the spring across Mel
vile bay, but all his note books and
soiled record books. which have been
so closely written upon, he kept and
carried with him.

KING HAAKON CAUSES
FIRING OF SALUTE IN
HONOR OF DR.. COOK

ON BOARD THE STEAMER OSCAR
III, Sept. II (By Wireless Telegraph,
via Christiansand).-Dr. Frederick A.
Cook whose arrival yesterday at
Chrfstiansand was greeted by q salute
OF seven guns from the fort by the
special order of King Haakon and who
was the object of the greatest enthu-
siasm during his brief stop there, was
given a notable farewell when the Os-
car III steamed out of the port. He
was welcomed aboard the Scandinavian
liner by more than 1000 passengers,
who crowed the guard rails, headed
by Captain Moller and Captain Hampel,
with all, the ships officers in full uni
form.
The Oscar II sailed down the ford
accompanied by a score of excursion
steamers with bands playing the ma
tional airs until the open sea was
reached. The liner was gayly dec
grated and a splendid suite had been
reserved for the American explorer.
At lunch Doctor Cook joined freely
in the conversation regarding his polar
trip. He told of a report current
among the Eskimos last year that "a
dirigible balloon had sailed over Green
land. and it was thought that Walter
Wellman had made start for the
pole. The Eskimos he said, described
cigar shaped balloon with compara-
tive accuracy, but as nothing further
has since been ascertained about it 1t
was to be, presumed that the Eskimos
had been mistake

EDITOR $. d. TAYLOR
Is MAKING GOOD.

Lincoln County Newspaper ON Record
of State Auditor.
The Richfield Recorder of last
week contained the following lauda-
tory article relative to the good work
being done by Bonner county's rep
resentative in the state house, s. D.
Taylor, state auditor:
The state of Idaho did not guess
wrong when it put S. d. Taylor in
the state house of state auditor. Mr..
Taylor is an old newspaper man. ac-
customed to finding out how to do
things right. and then doing them
that way. He is capable conscien-
tious officer, who works the soft
pedal most of the time, making
nightly little noise, but doing lot of
most effective work. There is no
state offiee being filled any better;
there has been no man in his place
in the history of the state. The news
paper fraternity have reason to be
well pleased with the selection OF one
of their number for so important
especiaIy since he is max
ing good, and then some to spare. II
Mr. Taylor were more self-assertive,
perhaps he would have the people
talking about him more than they
row do. But the people have a way
of finding efficiency. and they don't
forget it when they see it and who
ever has business with the state aud
itor certainly find it there. Under
the direct primary Law. Mr.. Taylor is
practically as certain of succeeding
himself as If he already had the
nomination. For which the good
people of Idaho are to be eongratu-
lated"
