COOK ATTAINS TO GOAL HE SOUGHT Finds Pole in Field of Endless Snow and Ice With Con tinuous Day. ESKIMOS SING FOR JOY Even Iors Catch Enthusiasm on Iast Two Days' March Feast to Cel ebrate Event Effects of Fierce Polar Wind. (Continued From First Page.) hardship and wrinkles, which should be called the boreal squint. Cold Causes Boreal Squint. This boreal squint Is a part of the russet-bronze physiognomy which falls to the lot of every Arctic explorer. The early winds, with a piercing tempera ture, start a flush of scarlet, while frequent frostbites leave figures in black, later the burning sun browns the skin, subsequently strong winds sop the moisture, harden the skin and leave open fissures. The hard work and reduced nourish ment contract the muscles, dispel the fat and leave the skin to shrivel up in folds. The Imprint of the goggles, the set expression of hard times and the mental blank of the environment have removed all spiritual animation. We have the color and the lines of old rus set apples and would easily pass for prehistoric progenitors of man. In the enforced effort to spread out the stiffened legs over the last reaches there was no longer sufficient energy at camping times to erect a snow shel ter. The silk tent was then pressed Into use. Though the temperature was still very low when the sun was high, its congenial rays pierced the silk fabric and rested softly on our closed brows in heavy slumber. In strong winds it was still necessary to erect a shelter ing wall to shield the tent, but alto gether the change proved quite agree able. It encouraged a more careful scrutiny of the strange world into which fortune had pressed us first of all men. 'Mlraso Turns Things Topoy Turry. Elgns of land were still seen every day, but they were deceptive optical 'Illusions, and a mere verdict of fancy. 'It seemed that something must happen, .some line must cross our horizon to .mark the Important area into which we were pressing. When the sun was low the eye ran over moving plains in brilliant waves of color to dancing horizons.- The mirages turned things topsy turvy. In verted lands and queer objects ever rose and fell in shrouds of mystery, but all of this was due to the atmos pheric magic of the midnight sun. With a lucky series of daily astronomical observations our position was now accurately fixed for each otage of progress. As we neared the Pole the imagination quickened, and a restless, almost hysteric excitement came over us. The boys fancied they saw beaver and seals, and I had a new land under observation frequently, but with a change in the direction of light or an altered trend in our tem perament, the horizon cleared and we became eager only to push further into the mystery. From the 88th to the 89th the Ice was In very large fields and the surface was less Irregular, but In other respects It was about the same as below the 87th. We noticed here also an extension of the range of vision. We seemed to see longer distances, and the ice along the horizon had a less angular outline. The color of the sky and the Ice also changed to deeper purple blues. We had no way of checking these impressions by other observations ; the eagerness to find something unusual may have fired the Imagination, but since the earth is flat tened at the Pole perhaps a widened horizon would be detected. Only 20 Miles to Pole. At 8 o'clock on the morning of April 19 we camped on a picturesque old field, with convenient hummocks, to which we could easily rise for the frequent outlook which we now maintained. The tent was pitched, the dogs were sjlenced by blocks of pemmican. In us new enthusiasm was aroused by a liberal pot of pea soup and a few chips of frozen meat, and then we bathed in life-giving sunbeams, screened from the piercing air by silk strands. It was a beautiful day, " and had our sense of appreciation not been blunted by accumulated fatigue, we would have greatly enjoyed the play of light and color In the ever-changing scene of sparkle, but In our condition it was but an Inducement to keep the eye open and to prolong interest long enough to dispel the growing complaint of ach ing muscles. The iktmos were soon lost in a pro found sleep, the only comfort in their hard lives, but I remained awake, as had been my habit on succeeding days, to get nautical observations. The longitude calculations lined us at 9 degrees i min utes. At noon the sun's altitude was carefully set on the sextant, and the latitude quickly reduced gave 89 degrees 31 minutes Zi miles from the Pole. Eskimo Cheer, Sing and Dance. My heart Jumped for Joy and the un conscious commotion which I was cre ating awakened Btuklshuk. I tok him that In two average marches we would reach the "tlsl shu" (the big nail). Ahwehlah was awakened with a kick, and together they went out to a hum mock and through glasses sought for a mark to locate so important a place as the terrestrial axis. If but one eletrp beyond it must be seen. I tried to expfciln that the Pole was not visible to the eye. that its position was only located by a repeated use of the various Instruments. This entirely satisfied their curiosity and they burst out in hurrahs of Joy. For two hours they chanted and danced the passions of wild life. It s the first real sign of pleasure or rational emotion which they had shown for several weeks. For some time I had entertained the fear that we no longer pos-6e.sed the strength to return to land. ' but the unbridled flow of vigor dispelled that Idea. Start for Vttermost North. I More sleep was quite impossible. We brewed an extra pot of tea. prepared a favorite broth o' pemmican, dug up a sur prise of fancy biscuits and filled up on good things to the limit of the allowance for our final feast days. The dogs, which had Joined the chorus of gladness, were given an extra lump of pemmican. A few hours more was agreeably spent in the tent and then w-? started with a new spirit for the uttermost north. We were excited to a fever heat. The feet were light on this run. Even the dogs caught the Infectious enthusiasm and rushed along at a pace which made it difficult for me to keep a sufficient advance to set a good course. The hori zon was still searched for something to mark the approaching boreal center, but nothing unusual was seen. It was the same expanse of moving seas of ice on which he had lived Jor 600 miles. But looking through gladdened eyes, the scene assumed a new glory. There were plains of gold, furled in purple walls, with gilded crests. It was one of the few days on the storm pack when all nature smiled with cheering lights. Splendor of Polar Night. As the day advanced and the splendor of Summer night was run into the continued day the beams of gold on the surface snows, thickened, while the shadows of hummocks and ridges spread a line ,of violet barriers through which a way must be sought. From my position a few hundred yards ahead of the sleds I could not resist the temptation to turn frequently to see the movement of the dog train with ite new Are. In this direction the color scheme was reversed. The icy walls were In gold an cr burning columns, while the plains COOK AROUSES IDE Copenhagen Objects to Losing First Look at Data.

Thrqugh. this sea of color the dogs came with a enlrlted tread, noses down, tails up and shoulders braced to the straps like chariot horses. The young EHktmoe. chanting songs of love, came with easy step. The long whip waa swung with a brisk crack, and all over there rose a cloud of frosted breath, a certain signal of efficient motive power, which an easy southern air was driving poleward. Camp was pitched early in the morning of April 20. The sun was northeast, the pack glowed in tones of lilac, the nor mal westerly air of shivers brushed our frosty faces, the surprising burst of en thusiasm had ben nursed to Its limits, and under it a long march was made over averase Ice with the usual result of overbearing fatigue. Too tired and sleepy to wait for a cup of tea, melted snows were poured down and the pemmican was pounded with the ax to ease the task of the Jaws. The eyes closed before the meal was finished and the world was lost to us for eight hours. The observa tion gave latitude 89 degrees 45 minutes 5 seconds, longitude 94 degrees 52 minutes. Last Day's March to Pole. With the boys singing and the dogs howling, we started off after midnight on April 21. The dogs looked large and noble as they came 'along that day, while Etuklshook and Ahwelah, though thin and ragged, had a dignity as heroes of the greatest human battle which had ever been fought with remarkable suc cess. "We were all lifted to the paradise of winners as we stepped over the snows of a destiny for which we had risked life and willingly suffered the tortures of an icy hell. The earth under us seemed almost sacred. When the pedometer registered Uhi miles we camped and calmly went to sleep, feeling that we were turning on the earth's axis. The observations, however, gave 89 degrees. 59 minutes and 46 seconds. We therefore had the Pole, or the exact gp6t where it should be. within sight. We advanced the 15 seconds, made sup plementary observations, pitched the tent, built a enow igloo and prepared to make ourselves comfortable for a stay long enough for two rounds of observa tions. Our position was thus doubly assured and a neoesrary day of rest wae gained. Etuklshook and Ahwelah enjoyed the day in uulet renose. But I sl?pt very little; my goal was reached, the ambition of my life tad been fulfilled; how could I ;Meep away such overwhelming moments of elation? Dream of Nations Kealized. At last we had reached the boreal center. The dream of nations had bean realised. The race of centuries was ours. The flag was pinned to the coveted Pole. The year was 190S. the day April 21. The sun Indicated local noon, but time was a negative problem, for here all meridians meet. With a step It was pos sible to go from one part of the globe to the opposite side from the hour of midnight to that of midday. Here then Is but one day and one night in each year. The latitude was 90 degrees, the temperature 3S.7. the atmospheric pres sure I9.S3. North, east and west had vanished. It was south In every direc tion, but the compass pointing to the magnetic role was a useful as ever. Though overjoyed with the success of the conquest, our spirits began to change on the next day after all the observations had been taken and the local conditions were studied. A snse of intense loneli ness came with a careful scrutiny of the horizon. What a cheerless spot to have aroused the ambition of man for so many ajres! Endless fields of purple snows. No life, no land, no spot to relieve the monotony of frost. We were the only pulsating creatures In a dead world of Ice. tlons do not foreshadow a graceful ac quiescence on the part of the general public. The rector of the university today said: "No such request has yet been re ceived from Dr. Cook, and it is impos sible to eaV what attitude the unlver&ity will take toward the suggestion that American and other scientific bodies shall first review the explorer's data. The action of the university will depend upon the reason Dr. Cook gives." DANES DO NOT UNDERSTAND Dr. Cook Says He Will Stand By His Original Plans. BALTIMORE. Mu.. Oct. 4. Before his lecture tonight Dr. Cook was shown the Associated Press dispatch from Copen hagen relative to his reported intention to request the university of that city to waive its claim to the first examination of his data. After reading the dispatch carefully he said: "A wrong Impression has been received In Denmark as to Just what I said in Washington last night, and this, too, seems not to have been perfectly un derstood In this country. "In order that there may be no further misunderstandir.g, I shall be. glad to have the Associated Press announce, as coming from me. that I shall adhere to the original plan to have the University of Copenhagen make the first examination of my records, but that I shall ask that university to withhold announcement of the result of such examination until the records shall have been examined simul taneously by all the geographical socie ties of the world." WALSH AGAIN IN LIGHT CONVICTED FINANCIER TO SOON KNOW HIS FATE. Court of Appeals May Render Deci sion Tuesday New Documents Are Filed in Chicago. CHICAGO, Oct. 4. The decision of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in .the case of John R. Walsh, former president of the Chicago Na tional Bank, who was convicted and sentenced to five years In prison two years ago. Is expected to be given out here tomorrow. A document containing additional citations of recently decided cases bearing upon the question of Incon sistency and repugnance alleged against the verdict of guilty found against Mr. Walsh was filed today. Walsh was ' convicted of misapplying the bank's funds. It is charged among other things by Walsh's counsel that the counts of the Indictment against him were contradictory opposition. Great interest centers in the verdict. Mr. Walsh rose from obscurity to the mastery of millions. His bank was one of the city's biggest financial In stitutions. He had control of railrfsds. quarries, steamships and the like to an extent which, had his luck held, would have made him one of fhe coun try's richest men. He is alleged, how ever, to have misapplied 16,000.000 of the bank's funds through memorandum notes signed with the names of clerks In an endeavor to keep his vast- in terests afloat. The bank failed December 18, 1905. More than S0O0 camphor trees have teen st out In Florida.

Although Lewis County Republicans would have been more than pleased to have secured the nomination of their own candidate, U. E. Harmon, of Che halls, for Congress to succeed the late F. W. Cushman, yet there is no dissat isfaction with the nomination of Judge McCredie, of Vancouver. The feeling Is well established in this section that the nomination for Congressman was due the outside coun ties, and that Pierce should gracefully have conceded this point. Judge Mc Credie will bo well supported in Lewis County, in which there is an over whelming majority of Republicans. The general feeling of Republicans in Lewis County is well expressed by U. E. Harmon, the Lewis County candi date, In his statement made today: "Judge McCredie will be elected I have not the slightest doubt. The feel ing of disappointment in Tacoma will subside. The Republicans of Pierce County can not afford to bolt the ticket simply because their combination was not as strong as the one that finally named Judge McCredie. There are other political contests to be fought, other political battles to be won.
