ISSCKIl KVKRV FRIDAY Subscription Rates One year Six months - $1 50 cts Monmouth, Oregon. FRIDAY, JAN. 7, 1910. Was Explorer Cook a Faker? It is believed that Dr. Cook made over $100,000 by his Arctic humbug. It is said that the New York Herald gave him $3,000 for his first story, cabled on Sept lst, or at the rate of about a dol lar a word. Later that paper is reported to have paid him $25,000 for his detailed narative, which was published in installments, and was highly interesting. For two lectures in St Louis the intrepid explorer of credulous human nature obtained $14,000, and forty others he is supposed to have received an average of $2,500 each. Just before leaving New York for Europe Cook drew $4,000 in cash from a New York trust company, which indicates that he contemplated a considerable so journ abroad. Bee. J)r. Cook may have been u fraud; we do not know that be was, neither will we say that he is one, for wo dislike to distrust men, especially those who have made honorable record before the public, to whom their lives have been as an open book. Thr ordinary person could see no reason for a man to claim honors of such nature, above those of fame which naturally lflong to such achievement, but viewed in the libt of the above there is a gold mine attached to the claim as well as honor, or in famy as the facts in this particu lar case will prove Honor if the dim is maintained, dishonor if proven false. Most men live simple lives not taking into consideration the complex possibilities which may be wrought out by the wise and crafty adventurer, hence, a "gold brick", is some-times palmed off upon them because of their credulity. If Dr. Cook went into the "gold brick" busi ness lie shoved out a In and his victims are many some of them stand high uj t he ranks of intelligence. Dr. Cook is supposed to have received a hundred thousand dollars out of lectures and for Ids description of thejourney and Northern conditions, and yet, if he has bartered bis honor for it he has paid a big price. How ever if money was the height of bis ambition he has the reward he strove for and is entitled to nothing more- suggested that he has gone back' to the Noth Pole to secure evi-j deuce of his having been there on a former occasion. And by ( the way, considering the gen themanly manner in which he has withstood the attacks of his enemies, this would very proba bly be the thing be would do.

Dropped out of sight Disap peared and no tine knows how nor to 'where be is gone Dr. Cook has the world guessing as to where he has gone and as to what he is doing. It is wen The Peterson & Ecker real estate firm, sold the Clay Taylor farm, situated three miles North of Dixie, Thursday of last week, to Frank Valliers. Mr. Valliers sold his place South of Independ ence last month through this same firm, and then took a trip to California but found nothing there to suit him, so he returned to Polk County determined to buy a home, and the Taylor sale was the result. Mr. Valliers thinks that he has a good place for the money. SUGGESTIVE QUESTIONS On the Sunday School Leuon by Rev. i)r. Linscott for the In ternational Newspaper Bible Study Club.
