Judge Holt, before disposing of the case
today, which resulted In the father- ac

ing British Columbia Bank.
NELSON". B. C. Oct. 27. The imperial
bank here has been swindled out of
$2000 by an American forger, who gave
the name f John Woolton.
Woolton came here from Seattle,
was introduced by a . local rancher
named H. S. Johnston, and deposited
a certified check on a Seattle bank for
12000. He drew JH 00 at once, and
shortly afterward $1900, the latter in
payment for a fruit rancli he said he
purchased. I
Then Woolton went to Rossland, and
was traced to Revelstoke. from which
point he traveled east and disappeared.
The bank was advised from Seattle
that the certifying stamp was forged
and the check worthless. In Woolton's
valise, found at Rassland by the po
lice, were a number of stamps for use
in marking checks, and it is thought
thaf Woolton was one of a gang that
has done some extensive swindling in
the West lately.

Cook's Story.
NORTH YAKIMA. Wash., Oct. 27.
(Suecial.) Belmore Brown, or Tacoma,
son of George Brown, secretary of the
St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Company,
does not believe Dr. Cook ascended
Mount McKinley in 1S06. and has gone
to New York to present his version of
the affair to the New York Geographical
Soclet-. On his trip he met O. A.
Fetcher. president of the Yakima Valiey
R nk and to him told the story of his
meeting with Cook in Alaska.
Mr. Brown 'is a painter and hunter of 1
big game and a millionaire, so has no J
financial interest in the controversy,
1906 he was Independently touring in
Alaska and running across1 the Cook
partv was invited to join.
According to the story he told Mr.
Fetcher. the entire party made one at
tempt to pcale the mountain and was
turred beck by Impassable barriers and
forced to give it up for that year.' Some
days later, while all except Cook and
Bamll were away, Cook, and Barrill
started up the Sushltan River in a launch
to explore. Taking up Mr. Brown's
statement Mr. Fecher says:
"Later, so Mr. Brown says. Djr. Cook
and Barrill returned to camp and an
nounced that they had scaled the moun
tain all alone. They returned in a time
more brief than that which would have
been necessary for them to reach the top.
as far as the party ntl Mr. Brown could
Judge. Other discrepancies were also
found in their statements. -
"Dr. Cook said he had reached an alti
tude of 20.000 feet, but the instruments
that he carried would not register above
18,000. Dr. Cook said that he also would
never have succeeded In reaching the
summit Jiad It not been for a hair rope
that he carried. Mr. Brown avers that
the only hair rope in the equipment had
been rendered useless in the first attempt
.made to scale the mountain.
"According to Mr. Brown's statement
to me, the picture that was supposed to
represent the pinnacle of the mountain
was taken on a lower ridge than had been
reached by the original party. These and
many other interesting details led Mr.
Brown to believe that Dr. Cook had never
reached the summit of the mountain-, as
he alleged."
WILL BRING ESKIMOS SOUTH
Cook Says Rasmussen and His Agent
Will Go to Etah.
MISSOULA. Mont., Oct. 27. Dr. Fred
erick A. Cook, his private secretary.
Morton Lonsdale, and his confidential
agent arrived in Missoula at' 11:05
o'clock tonight. The doctor was greeted
at the station by a small but enthu
siastic crowd representing the business
men of the city. The doctor had a quiet
trip from St. aul to Missoula, the only
demonstrations of consequence being at
Butte and on his arrival here.
Dr. Cook declined to discuss the
Polar or tne Mount McKinley contro
versy, asserting that what he has to
say ' about these matters he will say
in his lectures at Hamilton tomorrow
night and Missoula Friday night. : He
announces through his private agent,
however, that arrangements have been
completed for the expedition to bring
back the Eskimos- who were with him
on the Polar Journey. Knud Rasmus

head the party, which will sail for Etah
In May of next year. It is planned that

saw nor- heard of Dr. Cook or his party
until they reached Knik on. Cook's Inlet,
September IS. Here they learned that. Dr.
Cook had abandoned his attempt to as
cend Mount McKinley on the southwest
ern slope and had gone down the Kah
litna River In canoes with his party. Up
on reaching CUurchill's Station, at the
Junction of the Yentna and Shushitna
Rivers. Dr. Cook resorted to other tactics.
Repairing the broken rudder of the1
launch he had moored at Churchill Sta

craft and moved up the Shushltna River
to the extreme navigable point.
From that point they ventured over

Walt ran n Wade.
land, according to reports madej to the
Wade party, toward the southeastern
slope of Mount McKinley in a northwest
erly direction from the point where, the
party had left the launch in the Shushltna
River. Dr. Cook and his party then as
cended the gradual slope of the mountain,
which the Wade party had observed a
few weeks before.
"While we did not see Dr. Cook on the
mountain I am satisfied he could have
made the ascent from this point with no
Teat difficulty," said Mr. Wade last
night. "I am absolutely satisfied in my
own mind that Dr. Cook made the ascent.
I talked to him personally Just before
he made the attempt to ascend the west
side of the mountain. He was very
anxious to reach the summit. The fact
that he exercised so . much tact and
diplomacy In cheering his men and guides
on to that end made his eagerness to ac
complish his goal very apparent. Mrs.
Wade and I with Tom Harrap and Jim
St. Clair, both of whom are now in
Alaska, formed a party of prospectors,
who, according to assertions of Indians
and miners, were the first party that
ever attempted to explore the wilds at
the foot of Mount McKinley at a point
nearly 100 miles from the Tokashltna to
the Middle Fork rivers.
Suter Is Contradicted.
"As to the statement made by one
Jacob Suter. of Bellingham, Wash., to
the effect that he1 waa prospecting in the
gulches at the base of Mount McKinley
t the time Dr. Cook and his party ar
rived on Dutch Creek when he attempted
to ascend the westerly slope, it is Incon
ceivable to me to see how Mr. Suter
touldhave witnessed Dr. Cook's 'futile
attempt to scale the mountain, in nm
first place It would have been necessary
for Suter to accompany Dr. Cook and
the party in the ascent. In the next
place. It would have been necesasry for
him to travel more than 100 miles about
the southern base of the mountain after
be first saw the Cook party near tne
westerly side of Mount McKinley.
"It would have been an utter Impossi-
biiitv for Suter to cover the distance from
Dutch Creek to the southeastern slope of
Mount McKinley in time to see the Cook
party make ius ascent a few weeks after
he first saw. the party. No man could
have made such a trip and packed pro
visions on his back. I was the onlv man
who had horses .east of the Tokashltna
River that Summer, except Dr. Cook, ac
cording to the assertions of the natives.
Airship Xot Required.
"As for Suter or anyone else making
the assertion that it was an impossibility
to "reach the summit of Mount McKinley
except in an airship," in my Judgment
anyone making such an assertion must
not have had much experience in moun
tain climbing, or, at least, never saw the
southeastern slope' of Mount McKinley
Both Mr. and Mrs. Wade sympathize
with Dr. Cook in his apparent failure to
establish the truth of his statements in
reference to his ascension of Mount Mo
Klnley. Mrs. Wade, a keen little woman.
said: . . '
"There is no reason in the world to
believe that Dr. Cook did not reach the
summit. I talked with the doctor while
he and his party were camped on Dutch
Creek. He impressed me as being
straightforward man and very enthusias
tic in his efforts to reach his goal. After
our party had left we pressed on to the
east where we eventually camped on the
Tokashltna River, and we could plainly
see the gradual slope on the southeastern
side of Mount McKinley. I was enthu
siastic and wanted to make the ascent,
We had begun to form plans for Jhe
ascent, which could have easslly Been
made, but were compelled to change them
NUbaeauently.
"I kept a diary all the time and ne-
member dlst nctly of talking witn ur.
Cook about the approximate altitude
of Mount McKinley. He told me "about
five miles. After we returned to the
States I ascertained througli the Har
pers, by whom he was engaged, that
hi. reservations were 20.450 feet. The
effort on the part of some people to
make Dr. Cook appear to be a de
ceitful person is ridiculous. He is en
titled to honor rather than criticism.

BEIJ.INGHAM. Wash.. Oct. 27. W. T.
Wade's statement is all about something
hich Joseph Suter, of this city, did not
state in his affidavit relating to look s
"ascent" of Mount McKinley.. says a
friend of Suter.
The prospector tells exactly where he
stood when he saw Cook try to gain the
top of the peak after failing to make the
trip up the Yetna River and when he
went up the Shushltna River and made
the start from Shushltna Station. This
was Cdok's last and final attempt in
1S;6, says Suter. and the miner makes
no pretense of witnessing both attempts
to "gain the top ot the continent," by
Cook and his party.
Suter's affidavit contains 500 words and
tells how he stood on one of the peaks
In the Lake Creek Ridge of mountains.
bout four miles in an air line from Cook,
and watched Cook's party through a field
glass and saw him distinctly when he
tried to scale a wall of ice about two
thirds of the way to the top, and says
Suter, he saw Cook turn back at an alti
tude of about 9000 feet. . -
Suter clearly states that he was camped
In a gorge at the head of the Shushltna
River on the side of McKinley during the
Summer of 190? and makes no allusion to
being In the Yetna Valley. Many well
known friends of the miner in this city
say they have known him for years and
know that he has traveled all the big
mountains of, the West and that he is
not given to relating his adventures a
length.

up by business men as a reward for the
conviction of the persons who dynamited

who has been having difficulties with the
labor unions.
The Building Trades Council and Cen
tral Labor Union have each contributed

the dynamiting was the work of imported
nonunion men discharged by Von Spreck

the nonunion men employed by him on
the Shrlner temple and theater buildings.
Von Spreckelsen. backed by fellow-contractors,

aeroplanes or similar machines, but by
the use of what he termed a "sky

thing on the order of those of birds, and
have them controlled by the leg muscles
of the human being?" asked Professor
Nelson. "Scientists have given this much
thought and I prophesy that within a
short time people will be able to go Into

take the wings .put of your pocket and
ascend. When you come down, fold
them up and put them in your pocket."
