As TO CAUSE OF

THE DISCOVERY. u

Fort Dodge, Aug. 2e.-Bert Craft
owns grovery store on north First
street, just above the Illinois Central
bridge. For several years his chief
concern has been In pleasing his Gus
toners, but few days ago new
responsibility came to rest on his
shoulders. He is now trying to decide
whether he is intended to be an oil
king or If someone has been pouring
crude oil into the well on the river
bank back of his store
Several days ago Craft noticed that
oil was mixed with the water which
he pumped from his we'll. This con-
dinued for three days. At hrst he
thought that some one with grudge
was trying to pollute the water. Then
he decided that perhaps oil was leak
ing in either from the river or from
some engine house nearby. No signs
of crude oil were found in the river
and no engine using crude oil could
be found in the vicinity. s.>s,
Wednesday he pumped all the water
from the we'll and descended to inves.
tigate. No leak could be found. The
we'll Is twenty feet deep and Mr. Craft
believes that the oil is coming up
through the sand point which extends
seven feet deeper. Samples of the oil
have been sent ito Ames and Iowa City
for analysis This morning Mr.. Craft
continued to pump oil from his we'll.

SURE He
DISCOVERED LAND
NORTH POLE EXPLORER is GER.
TAIN THAT CROKER LAND
~ IS NOT A MYTH.

New York, Aug. 26.-Rear Admiral
Robert E. Peary reiterates his conf
dence in the existence Of Croker land
and his belief that he saw it in July,
1906. The admiral's statement, tele-
graphed to the Tribune from his sum-
mer place in Maine, was called forth
by the fact that Ensign Fitzhugh
Green, the naval officer assigned to
the Macmillan Croker land Arctic ex-
petition, made no report of whether
the expedition found Crocker land in
announcing to the navy department
his safe arrival at Copenhagen on
August 10.
After quoting from his original mar
rative Of his expedition, the story
of his first view Of what he believed
to be Croker land, Admiral Peary
said:
1T may be that Mcmillan and
we're both misled by the nearly per-
manent clouds of condensation over
persistent lanes Of water, or unusual
refraction, which occurs in the Arctic
regions, may have lifted into view
land that was in reality we'll below the
horizon and my estimate of the dis
lance Of Croker land may have been
too moderate. It will be we'll TO await
the completion Of Stefansson's als-
coveries before dismissing Croker
land"
