INTRODUCTION BY PEARY.
Some of my reasons for saying that
DIR. Cook did not go to the North Pole
will be understood by those who reads
the following statements Of the two
Eskimo boys who went with him. and
who told me aud others Of my party
where he did 60 Several Eskimos

when | arrived there in August, 1908.
They told me that DR. Cook had with
him, after they left, two Eskimo boys
or young men, two sledges and some
twenty dogs The boys were I-tOok-a-

them from their childhood One was
nineteen years Of age.
On my return from Cape Sheridan
and at the very first settlement |
touched (Nerke, near Cape Chalonl in
August 1909, and nine days before
reaching Etah, the Eskimos told me.
In general way. where DR.. Cook had
been; that he had wintered in Jones
Sound and that he had told the white
men at Etah that he had been long
way north, but that the boys who were
with him, I-to0k -a-shOo and Ah-pe-lah,
said that this was not so. The Eski-
mos laughed at Or. Cooks story On
reaching Etah, | talked with the Eski-
mos there and with the two boys and
asked them to describe DR. Cooks jour
ney to members Of my party and my
self. This they did in the manner

who was personally familiar with the
first third and the last third of their
Journey. and who said that the route
for the remaining third, as shown by
them, was as described to him by his
son after his return with DR.. Cook.
Notes of their statements were taken
by several of us, and no one Of us has
any doubt that they told the truth.
Their testimony was mistaken by
cross-examination, was corroborated
by other men in the tribe, ana was

SOLDIERS SIGNING
THE ANTI" PETITIONS

signatures from Men Not
Eligible To Vote.

The latest move on the part OF those
seeking 10 stem the wave of prohibition
sentiment flowing over Utah is TO Sc
cure signatures 10 anti-prohibition petit
tions from persons who are not eligible
"a vote. This morning parties circulat-
ing petitions visited TT. Douglas and
solicited signatures from soldiers, who
cannot vote.
This is but one sample Of how they
are working The most popular scheme
however. seems 10 be that Of asking for
signatures on blank forms so that none
can see what they are signing. The
excuse given Is that the original print
ed blanks are flled and the one pre-
scented will be pasted on 10 the end Of
a petition. number Of signatures
have been reported as having been
signed by parties who thought they
were putting down their name for
statewide prohibition.
