Sept. j.-"I am the only white man
who ever has reached the North pole

This statement was made by Com

tion on the Peary-Cook controversy

greeting was cordial. This is a new
record in newspaper enterprise" he
said, "and I appreciate the compli.
ment."
The correspondent at once began
questioning the explorer regarding the
merits of DR.. Frederick A. Cooks
claim to have reached the pole. The
commander declared positively he
would not further discuss this sub
ject until the main point, whether DR..
Cook had actually reached the North
pole or not, had been decided by 9th
ers. He then dictated the following
statement:
"I am the only white man who has
prepared to prove it at the proper
time. I have already stated publicly
that Cook has not been to the pole.
This I reaffirm and I will stand by it.,
but decline to discuss the details of
the matter. These will come out
statement that he had reached the
North pole should not be taken seri-
ously and that I have him nailed by
concrete proofs to support my state
ment.
Whole Story in Six Months.
"In six months you probably will get
the whole story. 1t would not be pol
icy for me to enter upon full debate
do so I would be giving out much in
formation of which other uses could
be made. I intend to wait until Dr.
Cook has issued his full authorized
statement. Up to the present time
there have been only newspaper ac-
counts of Dr.. Cooks alleged polar trip
and these may or may not be accu-
rate. When Dr. Cook has time to issue
a complete authorized version of his
journey it will be the proper oppor-
tunity for me to make public the in
formation which I have. After that
the jury-in other words the people
and the scientific bodies of the world
will pass Judgment on the matter
and there will be nothing left of DR..
Cooks claim but his own assertions
that he has reached the North pole
In the meanwhile it is my determina-
ton not to deal with details for the
reasons already stated.'
Commander Peary was then asked
If new land could have been discov-
cred in latitude "a, longitude sc. In
reply he shrugged his shoulders and
said 1t was quite possible an unknown
continent existed further west. He
referred to the land discovered by
himself on previous trips that had not
yet been explored.
Commander Peary is done with ac-
tive exploring. He will continue to
take an interest in Arctic and Antarc-
tic exploration, but from his home,
and he declared he would withdraw
from field work.

gone through with to secure the

has passed favorably on the applica-

spector has examined the land and
the water supply and has presumably
sent in his report, which will un-
questionably be favorable to granting
the segregation.
AS soon as the necessary formali-
ties of the interior department are

ready to commence. The project was
gone over last week by representa-

JUDGE WALTERS WILL HEAR BOTH SIDES

In his chambers at Shoshone last
Monday, Judge Walters gave instruc-

the Special Election contest to sub
init the case in brief when he will
take the whole matter under careful
advisement and render decision.
This means a delay of several
weeks but in the meantime the con-
stitutionality of the law will be
thoroughly tested and determined
whether it will stand or not The mat
ter is up in Boise at the present time
and the result is being watched with
a great deal Of interest. Should the
law be defective and unconstitutional
an election will be unnecessary, but
while it may be weak in some points
it is conceded by the best attorneys
in the state to be alright and good
enough to carry out its purpose.

ceul the point OF their greatest

ents from exertine themselves.
That there are great punches Of re-
serve votes in tEe Mavericks contest
has just come to the knowledge of the
the Contest Manager.
Surprises are in store for some
candidates who imagine that they are
perfectly secure in the positions
which they now occupy in the
list. AS accounts now stand in the
contest Office several candidates are
neck and neck for first place. Every
candidate has an excellent chance to
win. The candidate who gets busy
during the five short days which re-
main is the one who is likely to carry
of the big prize. The leader must
work hard to retain her place.
Because Of the votes now held in
reserve in the hands of the candidates
and by the subscribers who have paid
the last few days, the present stand
ing as published is not wholly to be
depended on as showing the actual
relative standing o. the candidates
The increase Of votes since the last
count is principally due to subscrip-
tions voluntarily sent in by the
friends of the contestants.

One looks on a miniature horse beaten

Seattle, Aug. 10.-A beautiful art,
long lost to the world, is noticeable in
the collection of japanese arts and
crafts exhibit of the Alaska Yukon
Pacific Exposition. Several hundred
years ago an isolated village of
Japan was famous as the home of a
family of artists; from their skillful
hands came specimens Of metal work
naanship of such wonderful faithful
ness, that an obscure hamlet became
the Mecca Of Art collectors from all
over the most artistic nation of the
world
Out of stubborn iron, the slender,
nervous fingers of this family
wrought reproductions Of animals,
birds, flowers and men, whose beauty
and truthfullness was wonderfully
marvellous. For the effects accom-
plished nothing other than the crud-
est metal and simplest implements
were used. Yet there was one other
feature called into use, and this was
the knowledge and skill required.
This, at one time the greatness of the
little town in Ishikawa, in northern
Japan. gradually disappeared before
