Induced this high class attraction to put the week In hero In preference to other and much larger towns on tho main lino. Ono reason, Mr. Keane la deep ly Interested In Iho Klamath Falls country, and having nover been here, Is anxious to see what It looks like.

Olavls, formerly chief of the field division of the land office, against Secretary Dalllnger. After the resolution was adopted Senator Jones of Washington read be fore the senate a letter from Dallln ger demanding In the strongest term a thorough Investigation of his de partment and the forest service. Sen ator Jones declared that he would offer a resolution calling for the In vestigation immediately arter ine holidays. in tho letter Dalllnger wrote to Senator Jones he aald In part: "The best Interests of the interior department require broad and thorough-going Investigation and I assure you that It cannot be too broad to suit me and those under me who have likewise suffered Indignities and un just censure by tho deliberate misrep resentations or facts ana wno court and will demand Inquiry by congress, and slnco you have stated your desire lo aid mo in establishing ocrore con gress tho Injustlco of tho attacks which have been made." Dlt, COOK UKAXDKD AH GREATEST FAKER The report of tho Danish sden- lists, held at Copenhagen, to Investi gate the data of Dr. Frederick A. Cook, brands him as the greatest faker In history. The report states that Dr. Cook's records and observa tions are wholly Insufficient to war rant a verdict that he discovered the North Pole. The consistory of the university adopted tho report ot the committee, flatly rejecting Dr. Cook's claims and throwing out his records and obser vations. Cook's data, according to tho re port, Is no more convincing than was the newspaper account. The commit tee mado up their minds after a day spent on tho records. They were dumb with surprise. The discrediting of Dr. Cook was a severe blow to tho Danish scientists who had stood firmly by him and Riv en him support under the charges mado by Commander Peary. The great reception given to Dr. Cook on his arrival here, the honors that were paid blm by high and low, including the king, are recalled with somewhat openly displayed chagrin. it la Known mat tne uantsn ex perts were personally Inclined to fa vor Dr. Cook, most of them already having come out In statementa tend ing to substantiate his claims. There fore tho absolutely flat decision against htm Is looked upon as all tho more convincing. It la believed that the data and rec ords had provided grounda upon which tho scientists could have es tablished a reasonablo basis for claiming that the Brooklyn explorer really reachod the pole, ana tne claim :i THE KLAMATH INDIANS WILL RECEIVE PATENTS TO LAND Allotments of 951, Whose Names Appear on Original Schedule would havo been made and upheld as long as tenable. A member of the committee mado the following statement: "It took the committee but a few minutes to seo that Dr. Cook's ob servations and so-called records aro worthless. "We could have reported Immedi ately, but It took several days to re cover from the surprise. 1 "Tne so-called note books on which Dr. Cook relied In a great measure tor vindication had only accounts of his observations, rather than the ob servations themselves. These note books were thrown aside without a moment's consideration. "I cannot understand how a man of Dr. Cook's reputed scientific at tainments could have attempted to bolster up his claims with such films evidence."
