Every body in and about the place
contributes willingly to the enter
tainment fund, some giving as high
as $75 and one Dickinson man has
given like amount. Sam Rhoades
and Joe Cain appear to be among the
movers in this celebration, which is
a guarantee that nothing for amusc-
ment Of the people will be over

COOK TO SEEK POLE
Plans TO Make Another Trip to Arctic
49, ..-.A. Ia Air Shin 49, .--.---- -.

in Air Ship.
Sioux City, July Exploration OF
the polar seas by aeroplane, with the
north pole as the final objective. is
planned by Or. Frederick A. Cook,
whose former voyage to the frozen
north attracted world wide attention
because Of his contention that he had
been the first to reach the zenith of the
arctic circle.
The explorer, whose home Is In Min
neapolis, was in Sioux City yesterday
on his way to Allen, Neb.. where he
was billed to fill chautauqua engage
mert. AT the Martin hotel DR.. Cook
spoke interestingly of his recent trip
around the world, touching briefly on
the Japanese question, the European
war and the late submarine feat of the
Germans.
With regard to his former trip to the
arctic DR.. Cook declared that history
will finally prove that he discovered the
pole on April 81, 1908, almost a full
year before Admiral Robert Peary
claims that he planted the American
flag at that point. The doctor asserted
that the general public was not ac-
quatnted with the fact that during the
las. ten months all the discoveries OF
Peary in the polar sea had been dis
proved and that under orders of the
secretary Of the navy the map Of the
north had been changed, removing all
Of the Peary discoveries as unsub-
stantiated.
The fight against Peary in congress,
the doctor said, is being led by Con-
gresham Henry T. Helgeson, of North
Dakota.
These Investigations according to DR.
Cook, show that the East Greenland
sea shown on Peary's map does not
exist, there being land at that point in
the shape of mountain. The same, he
said, is true Of the reported Peary
channel, the Danes having learned and
reported that it does not exist. The
island named after the Croker family

Of San Francisco, according to the doc
tor, has been shown to be myth. All
of these. he said. had been removed
from the arctic map by the secretary
Of the navy, altho the information had
not been given to the public.
DR.. Cook said he believed that the
entire arctic question will be cleared
up by the congressional investigation.
All that he wanted, he declared, was a
fair hearing. He pointed out that he
had filed with the committee communi-
cations from sixty-nine famous ex-
plorers stating that in their opinion,
from an examination OF the records, he
had reached the pole. :
