SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANGE ASININE LAND RULINGS. The Cass Lake Times says of a ruling of the interior department (one of many asinine ‘ukases’) where- by honest settlers must lose all they have attained through a year of hard |. work and deprivation of many desirable things in order to attain their end—getting a home: “Some of the settlers on the pub- lic lands who have been liviog on their claims more than a year, and having gone upon and selected the lands in good faith with the intent to make a home, are now menaced by the state authorities with a notice to leave the lands so that the state may add it to their unoccupied millions of acres. “These settlers went upon these lands by authority of an act of con- gress declaring all public lands in a certain region of the state open to homestead entry, have made exten- siveand lasting improvements. Such an attempt to drive the bona-fide settler off the land he has selected for a future home can in no instance be considered a credit to the state: it, the state, hasalwavs played the part of the big hog, with both feet in the common trough, and has driven hundreds of settlers from our state by and through its piggish prochvi- ites. “Is it any wonder that settlers are not attracted to the north half of our state when to do so is to run the chance of being ejected and the lands they have selected claimed by the commonwealth? Shame on a great state with a policy so narrow and detrimental to the public’s in- terest.” T CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G, Rutledge.] Tom Johnson’s daughter is suing her husband for divorce.

DETAILED STORY OF PEARY’S TRIP Reached: Pole With One Es- kimo as Companion. FAST TIME ON RETURN Left Earth’s Extremity on April 7 and Reached the Steamer Roosevelt Twenty Days Later—Pole Appeared to Be a Frozen Sea, but an Attempt to Take a Sounding Fails, No Bot- tom Being Reached at Eleven Hun- dred Fathoms. Battle Harbor, Labrador, Sept. 11— The following details of Commander Peary’s journey to the North pole have been gleaned from members of the expedition on board the steamer Roosevelt: " The only men to reach the pole were Commander Peary and one Es- kimo, Eging Wah. The other white members of the various parties that left Cape Columbia were sent back one by one as Peary drew nearer daily to his objective. Matthew Henson and three Eskimos, the only other members of the reduced party that made the final dash, were left one march south of the pole. Captain Bartlett and George Borup started Feb. 27 from Cape Columbia with a number of Eskimos and dogs on the march across the ice, heading north. On March 1 Commander Peary left Cape Columbia with his party, consisting of seven white men, seven- teen Eskimos and 136 dogs. On March 4 Peary came up with Bartlett, who had pitched his camp at the side of a lead of water which it was impossible to cross. No Progress for Seven Days. The combined parties had to wait until March 11, seven days, before further progress was possible. Ths sun was seen for the first time March 5 and an observation showed that the explorers were a short way from the 84th parallel. The supply of alcohol ‘was running short and Borup returned to Cape Columbia for a fresh stock. March 14 Borup overtook Peary again and brought a supply of eil and alco- PROFESSOR ROSS MARVIN. hol. The division under Professor Ross G. Marvin joined Peary the same day. At this point Professor Ronmald B. McMillan was sent back, his feet having been badly frozen. Borup re- turned to land from 85.23 with two Eskimos. The party now consisted of twelve men, ten sledges and elghty-five dogs. Bartlett was still beating out the trail two days ahead of Peary. Marvin took observations at 85.48 and then started on his return march. On his next trip Bartlett made a record, cov- oring twenty miles, This brought him 0 85.38. Bartlett Leaves on Return Trip. The party now consisted of Peary, Bartlett, Matthew Henson, the col- ored man who has been Peary’s per- sonal assistant on so many of his ex- peditions; the Eskimos, seven sledges and sixty dogs and the journey north- ward was resumed. The ice was per- fectly level as far as the eye could see. Bartlett took the observation on the 83th parallel on April 2 and then reluctantly returned, leaving . Peary, Henson and four Eskimos, with pro- visions for forty days, to make the final dash to the pole. This reduced party started the morning of April 3. The men walked that day for ten hours and made twenty miles. They then slept near the 89th parallel. While crossing a stretch of young ice 300 yards wide the sledge broke through. It was saved, but two of the Eskimos had narrow escapes from drowning. The ice was still good and the dogs were in great shape. They made as much as twenty-five miles a day. Proceed in Dense Fog. The next observation was made at 89.25. The next two marches were made in a dense fog. The sun was sighted on the third march and an observation showed 89.57. The pole was reached April 6 and a series of observations were taken at 90. Peary deposited his figures ana boisted the American flag,, The tem- pérature was 32 degrees below zero, Fahrenheit. The pole appeared as a frozen sea. Peary tried to take a sounding, but got no bottom at 1,100 fathoms. Peary stayed at the pole for thirty- four hours and then started on his return journey the afternoon of April On the return the marches were continuous and Peary and the Eski- mos suffered greatly from fatigue. They had their first sleep at the end of the eighth march from tke pole, in the igloos left by Bartlett. Here there Was a violent snow storm. On April 23 the party. reached the vertical edge of the land ice, west of Cape Columbia. The Eskimos wern delighted to reach land and the party slept for two days.. They repaired their sledges, rested their dogs and, resuming the journey, reached the Roosevelt April 27. Marvin left Peary on the way up on Friday, March 26, to return to the ship. He had with him two Eskimos and seventeen dogs. The story of the professor’'s death was obtained from one of the Wskimos. April 10 -Marvin was fifteen miles from Cape Columbia. He started out that morning, walking ahead. The Eskimos were delayed in packing the sledges, a fact that per- mitted Marvin to get a good start on them. When the Eskimos arrived at an open lead they noticed the ice was broken about twenty-five yards out and they saw Marvin’s body floating in the center of the lead. Owing to the treacherous condition of the ice the Eskimos could not venture out, but Professor Marvin’s records and observations were saved. NO COOK RECORDS ON PEARY'S SHIP Furmér Declared He Had Given Them to Whitney. o New York, Sept. 1.—The following wireless and cable message has been received. in this city from Comman- der Peary at Battle Harbor, Labra- dor: “I have no knowledge of Cook hav- ing given Whitney any records. There are no Cook records on the Roose- velt.” In Copenhagen Dr. Frederick A. Cook declared that he had given to Harry Whitney, the wealthy young big game hunter, part of the records of his observations on his return from the North pole to Etah, Greenland. Dr. Cook assumed that Whitney would bring his records to this country. Commander Robert E. Peary, on his return from the pole a year subse- quent to that of Dr. Cook, picked up Mr. Whitney at Etah and was bring- ing him south on the Roosevelt when they met the relief ship Jeannie, to which Whitaey was transferred to continue his hunting for a few weeks in Baffin bay. It was confidently expected by Dr. Cook’s supporters here that Mr. Whit- ney had turned these records over to Commander Peary and that the latter would bring them to this country with him.
