NEW STATE BANK FOR GYPSUM.
Will Open as Soon as the Building Can
Be Completed.

ness meeting of the new State Bank of
Gypsum the following officers were
elected: J. E. Duffield, president;
William Schwarz, vice president; F.

Swisher. cashier. Directors, James

Duffie1d William Schwarz and F. A.
King They represent some of the
most prominent business men and resi-
dents of Gypsum.
This practically concludes the work
of organization and the bank now has
to await the construction of its new
home before beginning business.
The work on the new bank will be
rushed and the contract will probably
be let before the week is out to facili-
tate matters. The bank is anxious to
begin work at once.
The new bank will have a capital
of $4,000 and will make application
for participation in the bank guaranty
law.

THEY KNOCK ON COOK.
Chicago Scientists Take No Stock in
Reported Discovery.

Chicago. Sept 2.-More definite
and more reliable information con-
corning DR.. Cooks trip to the North
Pole must be received before Chi
cago scientists will admit the quest
which has cost so many lives and so
much money has been successful
In discussing the subject Univer-
sity of Chicago professors are in
clined to be skeDticaI concerning the
messages received from the explorer
who claims to have reached Earth
est north They even intimate that
his position in the world of explora-
ton and science was not sufficiently
firm to give his statements the
strength of those of Peary, Nansen or
others who have devoted their lives
to attempting to reach the pole.
By inference at least they dis
credit DR.. Cooks trip to the top of
Mount Mckinley, upon which
as an explorer rests, they say. His
standing in the geological field was
belittled and they made it plain that
he would have to present strong evil
dence of his reported discovery be-
fore they would accept it as true
Prof. Thomas c. Chamberlain
head of the geological department of
the University of Chicago and his
assistant, Prof. w. w Atwood were
asked to give their opinion of the
value of DR.. Cooks discovery
Prof. Chamberlain was reticent
and declared that he knew too little
about DR.. Cooks trip and what mes
sages he had sent back to comment
upon it.

WHAT IT HAS COST.
Attempt to Reach the Pole Has Claim
ed 1000 Lives.

In the last century four thousand
human lives, two hundred ships, and
100 million dollars have been lost in
fruitless efforts to reach the North
Pole. In 1908 four expeditions operated
within the Arctic Circle-Ffala'S and
the Duke of Orleans's in Frans Josef
Land, Amundsens in Boothia Land and
Peary's in Greenland.
Lockwood of Greely's expedition car
ried the Stars and Stripes to SO degrees
broken until 1895. when Nansen reache :
Sc degrees IA minutes with the Nor
wegian colors. Cagni of Abruzzis
party made his way to Sc degrees 33
minutes in 1900, Peary advancing his
flag to "a degrees II minutes two years
later.
Fiala's expedition was really a con-
tinuation Of that of Baldwin in 1901
1902 This had as its chief Evelyn B.
Baldwin, previously of the United
States signal service, a member of
Peary's expedition of 1S93-1S94, of Well
mans in 1S9S-1S99, and chosen as one
of Andree's i'll fated balloon party in
1900. but left behind because the car
would not contain four It's financial
hacker was the late William Zeigler of
Brooklyn, N. Y, a millionaire manu-
facturer animated with the patriotic
desire to have the Star Spangled Ban
ner the first to fly at the pole, who set
aside 1 million dollars for this purpose.
But as often hoppens in polar work,
Baldwin's hopes were blasted, disseIt-
sions rent his party asunder, his dogs
persisted by the score, and after a futile
attempt to get north he and his whole
party returned to Tromso in August,
1902. while the F'rithiof, which had
sailed for Alger Island a month pre-
vious with additional outfits and for
news of him, had to retreat owing to
the unbroken ice pack.

HIS WIFE HAD FAITH.
Mrs. Cook Has Never Doubted Her
Husband Would Succeed.

New York, Sept Mrs Cook, wife
of the discoverer of the pole, heard
from her husband last about a year
ago through member of the Peary
relief expedition. Although she was
anxious concerning DR.. Cooks where
abouts she never lost confidence in
him, and before starting for Maine in
June she told friends that she felt she
full.
MY husband never believed in SEN
sationalism,' Mrs. Cook said of him
in an interview before she left the city
for the summer. land his feeling against
Peary was pronounced. He saw Peary's
work in Greenland and did not like the
way he treated the natives.
when he had a chance to come home
returning with Peary he determined
to make a solitary effort to gain the
pole. He walked hree days to get to
a place from which he could send
letter to me.
I'm the letter which he asked me to
keep secret. he told me he would reach
the North Pole or die in the attempt.
He said that one man, with de-
termination and the genuine love and
regard of the natives. could do more
than whole expeditions. That was the
last I heard of him. But 1 knew that
II I did not get news of his success 1
would not hear from him.
Mrs Cooks youngest daughter does
not remember ever having seen her
iather On the wall of the Brooklyn
fiat in which Mrs. Cook lived with the
children last year she hung low on the
wall a photograph of her husband, and
it was one of the bedtime rites of the
children to kiss the picture.
II do it, explained Mrs. Cook at that
time because I know positively that
my husband will succeed. 1t may take
him year, but I don't want the chill
oren to forget him"
Mrs. Cook, during the absence of her
husband, sold the family residence in
brooklyn and made many other sacri-
fees to keep her family together. Her
worries during the last few months have
been great.
Some of the money 1 invested 1
lost said Mrs. Cook, but my husband
is making sacrifices, I know, and I'm
going to do all I can to keep a little
home ready for him when he gets back"

Cooks scientific attai-

DR.. Cooks scientific attachments,
said:
His geological information would
be of no value. and 1 doubt if he
would know when he reached the
pole, even if he did get there. The
Eskimos would know more about it
than he would. You know he claims
to have reached the top of Mount
Mckinley, too. but nobody in Amer
lea believes it,
"Is he a geologist?"
'Well he has the title of doctor.
He is a physician but his geological
observations aren't worth anything"
Suppose that when he gets back
to America he can prove he reached
the pole. What value would his OBJ
servation have in that case?'
"Oh, they wouldn't have any"

HE MET COOK AT CAPE YORK.
Rasmussen Talked With the ESkiInOS
Who Went to the Pole.

London, Sept. "A dispatch to
the Daily Mail from Copenhagen says
that Knud Rasmussen. the Danish ex-
plorer who now is making ethno-
graphical studies in North Greenland,
met DR.. Cook at Cape York.
Rasmusen's mother was an Eskimo
woman and he speaks the language
fuently. He had a long conversation
with two Eskimos who accompanied
DR.. Cook to the pole. They confirmed
every detail given by DIR. Cook.
The foregoing presumably was tele-
graphed to Copenhagen from Lerwick.
