Captain Peters Docks Oregon Today Preparatory to Leaving Sept. 10. After about one year on Coos Bay, the government dredge Oregon has for the present done its last work here.

The Simpson Lumber Company has submitted a bid to the engineers for towing the dredge lo Portland and will probably be awarded the contract at the figures of their bid $1,500. The Oregon was brought to Coos Bay early in October las 'year '.but Captain Peters did not take charge until July 1, the present year.

SPOKANE, Wash., Sept. 2. The National Apple Show Bulletin, Issu ed In connection with the second competitive exhibition, open to the world, In Spokane, November 15 to 20, when $25,000 in cash prizes and premiums will be awarded in 20 classes, will say in Its September number that, Oregon sent the first consignment of commercial apples to 'China. The full text of tho ar ticles, prepared by Ren. H. Rice, secretary-manager of the show, fol lows: "It is not generally known that the first commercial shipment of ap ples to China was made from Grant's vnss Ore. Hon. Henry B, Miller was appointed consul general to China and stationed at Neuchwang, during the early part of the Boxei rebellion. Owing to the disturbed condition of the country he did not prdceed immediately to his post of duty but spent a number of months upon special assignments and a large part of the time in the southern pro vinces. At the close of the Boxer war he proceeded to Newchwang and took up his duties. "Consul Miller and his brother Frank J. MUler, were both Interest ed in an apple orchard at Grant's Pass, and as a result of Henry Mil ler's travels It occurred to them that there ought to be a market in China for Oregon apples If they could be properly packed and ship ped. "A test shipment was made and particular attention was paid to the manner In which the different vari eties stood the test of trayel and climate. One hundred boxes of all the standard varieties, with the day of picking, packing and shipping noted, were shipped direct to Shan ghai.' "In packing, tho precaution was taken to leave the apples under tho trees until the following day. They were then taken in upon a largo straW floor and graded by hand. Eve ry box was shipped within two weeks of picking and no apples picked later than the last of September. "Contrary to the prevailing opin ion 'among growers, the Ben Davis stodd the test of shipment and cli matic conditions better than any other variety and it was proved con clusively that, it should be nicked be fore maturity to obtain best results. "The Miller brothers continued to suiinfv annle's to the China trade for from seven to eight years after thol ' . .... ' i. nnrl first consignment., wun prum, .. satisfaction. "The Chinese like a largo, highly colored and cheap apple and the Ben Davis met these requirements better than any other. In the largo cities and In the seaports whero thero is a considerable European population there is a demand for fancy and high grade apples as well." Fact That It Was Discovered By American Subject Gives It to Country. DR. COOK'S SUCCESS. CAUSES SENSATION Rear Admrial Melville Discred its Reported Discovery of North Pole. (By Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2. "Aft er reading the dispatches today, I am more convinced than over that the reported discovery of tho North Pole Is a fake," was the emphatic declaration of Rear Admiral Geo. Melville, U. S. N., retired, who is qualified to comment on the North Pole questions because of his in timacy with the northern regions and familiarity with expeditions of the past forty ycais." I do not mean to say that Dr. Cook is a faker. I do not know him personally, but from my experience I would say that there Is nothing to confirm the ori ginal dispatches. Some of equipped expeditions have cost from $150,000 to $200,000. I know Cook had no such outfit. "There is nothing in the story thus far to Indicate that Dr. Cook has found anything new. Indeed, I can not see why the reported story of tho expedition could not have been written by any one who had reached within 100 miles of the Pole. I could sit In my office and Invent ob servations of all sorts. 'Yet, no one can positively deny tho truthfulness of Cook's story. I have heard that the Royal Geo graphical Society is reported to have discredited it. If so, I will reiterate more strongly than ever that Cook's alleged discovery of the North Pole is highly improbable." Explorers of the Polar Regions - Discuss Features of the Trip. (By Associated Press.) ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2. All the new territory discovered by Dr. Cook when he reached tho $ North Pole will belong to tho P United States by right of dls- covery, according to Rev.

PRAISE TOR COOK. Nes of Ills Discovery Causes. Sensa tion In Pails. (By Associated Press.) PARIS, Sept. 2. The news of tho success or Dr. Cook when It became known in Paris, caused a sensation. The papers published long accounts of the expedition and while the tend ency Is to await tho arrival of Cook at Copenhagen to gain from him proof and dotnlls, the press unites In praising the hardy exploier and of fers congratulations to tho United States. , fBy Associated Press.) CHRISTIANIA, Sept. 2. Captain, Ronald Amundsen, the Norwegian Arctic explorer, was Interviewed to day In reference to Dr. Cook's triumph- "Dr. Cook was my part ner on the Belglca expedition as physician," he said, "and all on board appreciated highly his experi ence and ability. He was an un commonly staunch, persevering and energetic personality and 1 admire him. The route chosen by Dr. Cook presented unusually difficult problems. This was proved by Pearys experiences. The possible results from Dr. Cook's achieve ments will have no influence on my projected expedition. I am not plan ning to reach that point of the Polo. My trip will bo for oceanographle in vestigation. It would bo highly In teresting and lmportnnt to know if Dr. Cook found n continent arcund the pole. But he was of necessity limited to mero visual Impressions." THINKS IT POSSIBLE. Duke of Ainu! Expected Cook to Muke Rlscou-ry. (By Associated Press.) ROME, Italy, Sept. 2. The Duko of Abruzzl Is keenly Interested 'in Polar explorations and before he left for the Himalaya mountains, ex pressed the opinion that "Dr. Fred erick A. Cook was perhapB the man destined to accomplish this great feat, which may bo tho greatest achievement of tho twentieth cen tury." He based his opinion on what ho heard of Cook's former Journeys and his preparations for this one, The duko's opinion of tho probable success of Cook Is reiterated In a letter recently received at Turin.

"There is nothing In tho explorers statoment but what Is possible and consequently," continued the lieute nant, "I don't think the time It tpok him to return Is against his state ment.

No other expedi tion has been able to do anythlug near this, as two miles a day Is con slilored cood progress, but Cook must have traveled over absolutely smooth lco, which Is an unique- condition."
