The real test is in the baking. Other Baking Powders may make broad claim*, but when it comes to the production of red delicious biscuit, cakes and pastry JHka EA n Mr. Whitney was questioned regard ing the statements made to him by Dr. Cook in Greenland. He said Cook arrived at Annatok in April of this year and declared that he had reached the North pole a year before. He pledged Whitney, however, not to tell Commander Peary, who was to be in formed only that Cook had gone far ther north than Peary's previous rec ord, 87 degrees 6 minutes. Continu ing, Dr. Cook told Whitney that he had accomplished all he expected to and more besides and that he was through with the Northern country. Whitney did not communicate the lat ter part of this statement to Peary. Continuing, Whitney said that Coo'.c had complained to him of Peary's tak ing over of his house and stores, but declared that he had suffered no un fairness. After spending two days at Anna tok, where Cook first met Whitney, Cook started for Etah. Whitney ac companied him. Cnok remained for three days at Etah organizing for his trip south to Upernavik. Cook Had No Time to Lose. The doctor had figured out rightly the date that he would likely get to Upernavik and when the Dundee whalers on the Danish storeships would reach there and he argued iliat he had no time to lose. He planned originally to take two Eskimos and two sledges, but one Eskimo fell sick and this made it necessary for him to OHt down the luggage he could take Wtth him south. Dr. Cook consequently asked Whit ney to take charge of the instruments with which Cook had ma.de observa tions at the pole. There were three cases, one containing a sextant, an other an artificial horizon And the third an instrument which Mr. Whit ney said he could not recjtll. It pos sibly might have been a chronometer, Cook left no written records with Whitney that Whitney is aware of There may have been some records, however, in the other boxes in which Cook packed his clothes and his per sonal effects, but Cook did not tell Whitney especially that he was leav ing any written records with him. Mr Whitney was very positive about this. ^After Cook departed for the South Whitney resumed his hunting, lie took over Cook's two Eskimos, Etu kishula and Arwalalv, to show him the country where Cook had shot musk oxen. This the two men did and Whitney bagged all the oxen he oould carry out in his sledges. He said he found these two Eskimos to be quite satisfactory in subordinate capacities, but he knows nothing of tbeir value in a dash across the Polar •ML Did Not Tell Peary All.

Hubbard, president of the Peary Arctic club, were again in con ference over the Peary proofs to show that Dr. Cook did not reach the North pole. It was said that the conference would probably continue all day. Commander Peary is anxious to make a full statement of the whole matter, but this will hardly be done until the officers of the Peary Arctic club have passed on the statement The proofs which Commander Peary will offer are of various character, some of which in a court of law would be described as direct evidence, while other proofs depend entirely on de ductions from certain given facts. The equipment and expedition of Dr. Cook will be described in detail and with the alleged accomplishment in travel lng to the pole and return will be com pared the work of each expedition of Peary and other Arctic explorers. Dr. Cook's experience with Arctic expeditions and his method of keep ing the records and his disposition of them in part to Whitney, a stranger to him, will play no small part in Commander Peary's statement. It is a combination of circumstances and faith, which, in their strength, Commander Peary believes will cut the ground from under Dr. Cook's claim.
