Prof. Parker Shows That Pic
ture Labeled "Mount Nc

NEW YORK, Nov. 10,-Prof. Herschel
Parker of Columbia, who recently re-
turned from his exploration of Mount
Mckinley. today made public a series
of photographs taken near the Alaskan
mountain which. he said, was indisputa-
BILE evidence that DIR. Frederick A.
Cook, the Brooklyn traveller, never
reached the top of the highest peak
in America
Professor Parker stated that he found
the mountain peak which DIR. Cook
photographed and called Mount Nc
Kinley. the top of the continent" and
in support OF his statement, showed a
photo of a mountain peak taken by
his expedition last summer and pointed
out that comparison of the two
photos shows in detail Identical out
lines of rock formation. proving that
they are pictures OF the same noun
tain.
The mountain which I photo
graphed," said Professor Parker. was
20 miles away from Mount Mckinley
and $4,000 feet below its summit. This
is the same peak that Cook photo
graphed and called the top of the
continent.
Professor Parker corroborated the
made a year ago by Ed
ward Barril1, guide for DR.. Cook. that
they never reached the top OF Mount
Mckinley.

in the circuit court yesterday asking e
that the sale of the properties of the
railway be postponed from November
Is to January II OF next year and that
the sum to be paid down by the pur-
chaser be raised from 81 131, ,433 to SILL

In his petition Moore states that al
ready there have come into the pool Of
the bond holders, formed for the pur-
pose of protecting the bond holders and
preventing the sale of the properties at
a ruinous figure, persons holding
s2,822,So0 worth of the bonds, and that

granted holders of s1,200,00o more
would come in, as their promises had
already been secured. Moore also as
serts that IL is very probable that go
Induced to enter the pool within the
so day extension.
The plan OF the bond holders in the
pool Is to buy the properties them
selves, if a reasonable price can not be
secured for the road from an outside
purchaser and to improve the line and
continue il TO Santa Cruz. AS II will
be necessary to have a considerable
sum of money IN hand to do this Moore
gives 1t as a further reason why an
extension should be granted. declaring
that the securing of ready money at
this time is very difficult matter.
1t is expected that there will be
deficit of $4,000 in the revenues dur

for the $4,000 raise asked for in the
sum to be deposited at once by the
purchaser.
The Apetition will be argued before
Judge Van Fleet next Monday.

The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1910-12-20

| in the selection of Bemidji by POST
master General Hitchcock as the
only place in Minnesota for the es-
Enlistment of a postal savings
bank.
In launching his new enterprise,
Uncle Sam was careful to pick the
town best adapted to such bust
ness. He wanted a place where the
residents were sufficiently prosperous
to have money to save and intelli-
gent enough to want to save it.
He cast his keen eye over the
more than two million inhabitants
of Minnesota and he found many
hustling, busy places. - In the
southern end of the state he dis
covered we'll settled communities
and he admired their frugal hard
working citizens, but he passed on.
He swept his spyglass over the
larger cities of the commonwealth
and here he found too much poverty;
too many slaves for daily pittances
drubbing away with their noses on
the grindstone. -:.~
Then he came to Beltrami county
and he simply had to stop and stroke
his whiskers while admiring the
1--WE VIM spirit of the northland.
Here he found the smallest percent
age of restitution and the biggest
percentage of energy, earning the
greatest reward.
This looked good to him and he
resolved that here then he should
engage in his new business of bank
ing and Bemidji with her growing
population and expanding volume of
business had won another CONNER
cial triumph.
1t will be interesting to follow the
career of the governments institu-
tuition. We hazard the guess that
Uncle Sam made no mistake when
he decided to add a savings bank to
his postoffice in this city.

AN EPOCH IN THE PIONEERS CAREER.

This issue Of the Daily Pioneer
marks the passing of hand compost
ton.
Every line in it's news and edi-
torial columns has been produced
by the recently installed Merganthal-
err machine. In the past few issues
a part o fthe matter used has been
composed on the linotype, but this
issue signalizes the passing of the an
tiquated and cumbersome system
Of hand composition.
The clear, sharp appearance Of the
type is but one of the features and
advantages of the Mergenthaler,
It's use means that more news can
be printed in the same amount of
space as the linotype slugs do not
take up as much room as the old
type. Then, too, the composition
is much faster.
When the Pioneers press today
started in on it's usual duty of
grinding out new born newspapers,
an epoch in the onward march of
this journal had been consumated
Sometime in the near future, after
the holiday hustle of the compos-
ing room is over, the Pioneer will
hold public reception to demon
strate the workings of the linotype.
