HE COUNTRY will await with
much interest the promised
publication by Mr. Glavis of the
facts as he sees them in the
Alaska coal land case. Mr. Glavis
did the unusual thing of making,
while an official therein, serious
charges against' the department of
the interior at Washington. He
made representations to the presi
dent that by fraudulent entries and
otherwise large areas of coal lands
in Alaska were fast passing into the
hands of syndicates, and that the
Interior department, in permitting
the process to go on, was lax in its
duties, if nothing worse. For his
charges, Mr. Glavis was dismissed
from his position as chief of a field
division, with headquarters at Se
attle.
The situation is a striking one,
and one in which coming develop
ments will be watched with Interest.
Against Mr. Glavis there is Secre
tary Ballinger, the president, the
higher officials of the interior de
partment and whatever interests
there are, if any, that desire to con
trol the Alaska coal fields. On Mr.
Claris' side there are such records
as he holds, the facts of which he is
to make public. In support of his
position there Is the reasonable con
clusion that if there has been no at

when she was 16 years old, came out of
north Labrador as amember of the colony
at the Chicago World's Fair In charge
of J. C. Smith, now at the exposition
here. In her own country Bhe had met
Peary and is well acquainted with Gree
ly and with Nanson and Admiral Schley,
who rescued the Greely party In 1884.
"I was only 16 years old when I first
left "Labrador." Enatseak said, "and my
second meeting with Peary was at the
close of the Chicago fair, after I had
crone to New York. It was then that he
brought a party of six Greenland Es
klmos to New York and engaged me to
look after them.
' "Two of the party died there because
Peary insisted that they had never seen
sunlight in their own country, and con
sequently should be shut up in a base
ment, where they contracted pneumonia
and died. .Two others died later,' and I
have lost track of little Meenle, who
was 7 years old when Peary brought
him out of Labrador.
"Eskimos looked the same to -Peary
as dogs. When he got through with one
of them he kicked him aside and got
others.

needed. A ship waa built for him, fully
stocked, and everything he asked for to
make the trip successful was furnished
without question. Cook and most of
the others depended on their own re
sources and I am glad Cook found it al
though I am not personally acquainted
with him. Anyone rather than Peary
would suit me."
Enatseak was in Jamestown when
Peary arranged for his final trip to the
pole, and his refusal at that time to
take little Meenle back to his native
land seems to have Incensed the little
Eskimo woman to a point where she has
lost all respect for the explorer.
His excuse at that time was that there
was no room for the lad on his ship.

"Meenle refused to go to this school,"

by William Wallace, connected with the
Museum of Natural History. I have lost
track of him since, them."
Aputek, who acted as a guide . for
Peary on one of his earliest expeditions,
is also at the Eskimo vllllage of the
A.-Y.-P. exposition. He went from north
Labrador and, like Enatseak, is delighted
that Dr. Cook was the first discoverer
of the North Pole. He does not talk
English and his brief Interview for the!

to reach the pole," Aputek said this
morning, "and I am glad of It. J never
