HAMPTON'S Magazine for January contains the first
installment of Dr. Cook's "confession." n it the
Arctic explorer describes in detail his search for the polo,
its supposed discovery and the conditions surrounding
tho expedition. lie frankly takes tho public into his con
fidence, admits that ho may have made a mistake in sup
posing that he had reached ihe polo, but that he honestly
thought ho had. JJe describes tho perils and hardships
undergone, and the. physical sufferings endured, which he
states, mentally unbalanced him.
The article is graphically written in vigorous "English
far more entertaining reading than Peary's dry descrip

the author to public esteem. Whether il accomplishes its
purpose oi' not, it will secure a hearing for. tho discredited
explorer to state his case to a public, which always loves
lair play and which 13 prejudiced against Peary because
he was unfajr.
73oople generally do not believe there is any more proof
that Peary and his negro servant reached the pole than
I hat Cook and his Eskimos did, and from tho nature of
tlio moving hold of ice its location by either can never
be verified. Nor did its alleged discovery and tho waste
of human life and effort that has accompanied it, benefit
the world.
AValt Mason, the Kansas prose poet, aptly sums up
the case in the follewing:
"Doc Cook, who didn't find the Polo, has trouble in his
soul. Throughout tho world he's viewed with scorn; and
so ho says: ' I 'II toot my horn, and print a mile or two of
rot, explaining that I really thought I'd found tho pole,
until I wolce, and tound the whole llimir was a joke.

Mil Joolc ol those I moot, who whisper 'Shame!' and talk
about a bunco game, and say I'd prove I had some worth
by falling off the weary earth. But Avhen they read my
sad appeal, and realize how tough J feel, and know how I
regret my breaks, they may forgive my little fakes, and
take me to their hearts once more, and salve me where my
wounds aro sore!" If old Doc Oodk would stow his jaw,
and get a sawbuck and a saw, or buy a plow and hit the
soil, and get right down to honest toil, he'd have a better
chance to earn the boon for which he seems to yearn. The

OUT OF $'15,000,000 allotted by President Taft for car
rying on government irrigation work during the
next five years, Oregon received only $925,000, which was
about 2 per cent of the total. Six hundred thousand dol
lars of this goes to complete approved and accepted por

fourfh small unit of the present Umatilla project, being
lands lying between those now under irrigation and the
Columbia river.
Oregon is the heaviest contributor to the reclamation
fund and its share souhhhave been $(5,000,000. The rapid
settlement of the state, the taking up of government land,
should increase Oregon's share in the next few years to as
many more millions yet we see the money being spent in
slates that have not contributed a dollar to the fund.

he referred prophetically to tho ef

said, his folloxvlng during this age Is
to be a "little dock."
Perplexed and confused many may
ask. What, then, Is the hope of the ful
fillment of our text. "Peace on earth,
good xvlll toxvard men?" W'c answer
that our Master, who declared that he
xvas not the Prlnco of this age. de
clared also that his Kingdom of the,
next age xvill be Introduced xvlth pox'
er and great glory and that, although
its Initial manifestation xvlll be xvlth
clouds nnd darkness and n time of
troihlc such ns never before hns been,
nevertheless his reign xvlll be glorious,
triumphant and eternal. "He shall
take unto himself his grent poxver and
reign" until "he shall have put all
enemies under his feet;" "the last
enemy that snail be destroyed Is
death." "Unto him every knee shall
hoxv and every tongue confess."
The victory of Emanuel means the
overthrow of sin the crushing of the
serpent's head. At tho very beginning
of his glorious reign Satali shall be
bound and folloxvlng Its close he shnll
be destroyed in tho Second Death, to
gether xvltli all those xvho lovo un
righteousness, after they shall have
jiad full knoxvlcdge nnd full opportu
nity for recovery from the snares of
sin and death. Then, Indeed, the
xvhole. xvorld xvlll proclaim the glory
hf God. There xvlll no longer be dis
cordant sounds. As the Scriptures de
clare. There shall bo no moro crying,
no more sighing, no more dying all
(ho former things of sin nnd death
shall have passed axx'ay (Hex-, xxl, 4).
The Great Restorer of All.
Tho great King xvho. eighteen cen
turies ago, died, the Just for the un
just. hnt he might. Judicially, bring
mankind back Into harmony xvlth God.
Is to bo the Great King of earth, the
great Kostoior of all that xx'as lost lu
Adam, ami ho xvlll make all things
nexv" (Itevclntlon xxl, fi). v
Everything nppertalnlng to this
great Plan of Salx'tition outlined In the
Word of God Is reasonable. Tho cru
cial testing of the elect Church Is nee
essnry In order that, as faithful nnd
merciful priests of God and of Christ,
associated xvlth him in Ids kingly
glory, they may bo God's Instrumen
tality hi succoring mnnklnd from the
fallen conditions xvhlch have resulted
from six thousand years of sin, and
from the malignant lutlueure of the
Prince of darkness, during, the thou
sand years xvhlch the Bible stipulates
as the period of Messiah's reign (Hex
elation .x. (! a period neither too long
nor too short In xvhlch to nccoinplNh
tho great xrork of tho world's salvation.
True, some ono might say. If It has
required eighteen centuries for the
development of the Church, how much
more time xvlll be necessary for the
uplifting of the xvorld? But xvo an
sxver that'll Is not tho Divine Purpose
to uplift tho world to the station of
spirit nature and glory, but rather to
restitution blessings and conditions
It Is beenuso of tho high exaltation
offered to the Church that such crucial
testings of sacrlllelal obedience ex en
unto death Is required. With the
Pineo of darkness bound nnd the Sun
of Righteousness arising xvlth healing
lu Its beams the darkness of sin and

Does Not Strain the Eyes
Don't use a small, concentrated li&ht
over one shoulder. It puts an unequal
strain on your eyes. Use a diffused, soft,
mellow light hat cannot flicker, that equal
izes the work of the eyes, such as the Rayo
Lamp gives, and avoid eye strain.
The Rayo is designed to give the
best light, and it does.
It has a strong, durable shade-holder
mat is neiu nrm anti true. A new burner
gives added strength. Made of solid
brass and finished in nickel. Easy to
keep polished. The Rayo is low priced,
but no other lamp gives a better light at
any price.
Once a Rayo User, Always One.
