Dr. Frederick A . Cook, the dis
coverer of the North Pole, was
given a grand reception upon his
arrival at Copenhagen Saturday.
He said: “ l first planted the
Stars and Stripes at the Pole on
April 21 ’08. My God! 1 tell you it
was a thrilling sight. While the
mercury scores lielow zero the
blood coursed through my veins
as I realized all it meant. After
the first flag waved awhile I took
it dowu and planted the second.
I now have the first with me. I
hope the Pole will soon be reached
again and my record found. My
two days at the Pole were devoted
to observations, except while eat
ing and sleeping. At that time
the weather was ideal and my ins
truments were in perfect order.”
He will return to his home iu

Aids Nature
The great success of Dr. Pierce's C.oldefl Medical Dis-
covery in curing weak stomachs, watted bodies, weak
lungs, and obstinate and lingering coughs, is based on
the recognition of the fundamental truth that “ ('»olden
Medical D iscov ery " supplies Nature with body-build
ing, tissue-repairing, muscle-making materials, in con
densed and concentrated form. With this help Nature
supplies the necessary strength to the stomach te digest
food, build up the body and thereby throw off lingering
obstinate coughs. The “ D iscov ery " re-establishes the
digestive and nutritive organs in sound health, puriftea
and enriches the blood, and nourishes the nerves—in
short establishes sound vigorous health.

6 5 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 ACRES OF
LAND FOR ENTRY
Washington, Sept. .3 — A ccord
ing to a statement issued today by
the Secretary of the Interior almost
65,000,000 acres o f land has been
designated as subject to entry un
der the enlarged homestead act,
providing for dry farm claims of
.320 acres instead of 160 acres.
The laud thus designated is dis
tributed as follows:
Colorado, 20,250,000 acres; Mon
tana, 26,000,000 acres: New M ex
ico, 1,550,000 acres; Oregon, 1,350-
000 acres; W yoming, 11,900,000
acres.
The lands are non-mineral, non-
timbered, not susceptible o f irriga
tion, and, because of insufficient
rainfall, will not produce remun
erative crops unless cultivated by
some method such as “ dry farm
in g.”
Residence must l>e estab
lished on the laud by the entrymen
within six mouths from date o f
filing aud be continued, together
with improvement o f the laud, for
five years.
Probably the lagest shipment of
pheasants ever raised in captivity
by one grower in the country will
be shipped by R. F. Simpson of
I.ebauou,
to the Idaho game
warden, and the birds will be
turued loose to stock the state for
the Idaho huuters. Mr. Simpson
will send a carload and he is said
to be the only man in America who
could fill such a big order.
