ESKIMO SCUMS AT
DR. COOK’S CLAIM
WISCASSET, Me., Oct. 29.—An
echo of the Cook-Perry contro
versy over the discovery of the
north pole in 1909 was heard to
day after Capt. Donald 13. MacMil
| lan arrived at his home port after
fifteen months in the Arctic regions.
The Explorer gave out informa
tion obtained from E.Took-a-Shoo,
one of his Eskimos who, with Ah
Pellah, another Eskimo, accompa
nied Dr. Cook while he was in the
north of 1909.

Dr. Cook in reaching Axel Hei
berg land got within 500 miles of
the pole, Dr. MacMillan said, and
had he not tried to claim the glory
or reaching the pole would have
been greatly honored for what he
had accomplished. Dr. MacMillan
quoted E-Took-a-Shoo as saying that
if Dr. Cook went to the pole he
must have gone there while his
Eskimo companion was

went to the south and not to the
north, MacMillan said.
Cook and his Eskimo companions
slept two nights in a snow hut
twelve miles off shore on the Polar
sea and there Dr. Cook raised an
American flag, declaring he had
reached the people, altho, Dr. Mac
Millan declared, he was 500 miles
south of it.
Cook and the two Eskimos then
journeyed south into Jones sound,
found an abandoned igloo and stay
ed there throughout the winter^ liv
ing on walrus, polar bear and ox
meat.
In the spring Cook traveled north
to Anoritok, fifteen miles north of
Etah, Greenland, Dr. MacMillan
said. There Cook engaged Eskimo
dog drivers who carried him to
southern Greenland to catch the
early spring boat for Copenhagen.
By this plan, MacMillan said,
Cook would have reached civiliza
tion two months ahead of Peary.
Cook missed the spring boat, how
ever, and finally reached Europe on
the next boat only five days be
fore Peary reached Labrador.
Mrs. George Sexton is entertaining
a large number of Seward ladies at
brideg this afternoon.
Bryan & Vogl, proprietors of the
local sawmill, have secured a con
tract for 20,000 ties from the Alaska
railroad. A sawmill outfit has been
set up at Days Harbor, where their
main camp will be located.
The railroad launch Alaska, with a
barge in tow, arrived in port today
from Anchorage. The vessel will be
used transporting ties from camps to
town.

AN EMPIRE BUILDER
As all railroads in years gone by have been the greatest
contributing factors in development of the regions through
which they passed, so also is THE ALASKA RAILROAD
each day accomplishing much towards the building of an
empire.
In place of the old tremendously expensive and inconve
nient method of transporting supplies of whatever character
over rough trails from the coast, there is now a modern rail
way that carries supplies and equipment in greater quantities
to and from the Interior, and along the way, in much less
time and at far less expense than was formerly required.
This great steel highway offering regular twice weekly
freight and passenger service between Seward* Anchorage and
Fairbanks; and tri-weekly mixed service over the Chickaloon
and Chatanika branches, is at your service. For further in
formation write
