of the mountain.\u2018Dr.Cook states that he reached the summit of the mountain by the east side, and was aécompanied by the assistant packer, Edward Burrill Two weeks his report.\u2018I do not know whether Dr.Cook climbed Mount MeQinley or not.This I know, that he reports that the mountain was 20,390 feet high, but I am unable to say how he made his observations, inasmuch as I took back with me the hypsometros, and he had only one or two-aneroid barometers, which would only measure about eighteen thousand eet, \u2019 : \u2018A man of science quite naturally asks why he did not make photographs of the other summit of Mount McKinley, only a short distance away, and of views } apcut him.These photographs of the | approaches to Mount McKinley summ:t |in themselves woü'd have settled the question, \u2018As I say, I am a friend of Dr.Cook, but inmatters of this kind ecientitic proof is needed.If Dr.Cook has climbed Mount MeKinley then he has made a badcase of it, as the lawyers say.IS COOK A \u2018HOT- vo AIR ARTIST ?Butte, Mont., Sept.6.\u2014Ed.Barrill wha with Fred, Printz guided Dr.Cook on his Alaska trip in 1905, when, he says he climbed Mount McKinley, backs up the story told by Printz regarding the trip.He alleges that Cook owes them about a thousand dollars for that rip.\u2018No man living ever reached the top of Mount McKinley,\u201d said Barrill.\u2018Some Trun bave reached a high altitude, but it is.not necessary for me to say that we did not reach the top, for I am a poor farmer, and no one would believe me as against Dr.Cook.If he has gained any glory, I do not care to detract from it.but he was the greatest hot-air artist I ever met.\u2019 MRS.COOK SAYS HUSBAND HAS PROOFS.| * New York, Sept.8.\u2014Mrs.Frederick A.Cook, wife of the explorer, who returned to New York last night from Maine, rald to-day that her husband has facts which, when they become known, will set at rest all doubts ag to his discovery of the North Pole.When he returnsto the United States, Mrs, Cook said, her husband will produce absolute substantiation of his claims.Sorrel BABY IN A BOX.The body of a new born child was M discovered to-day in a box in an old building on Mayor street by à .workman, 5: 1 Wellington street.cars.\u2026 Accommodation lClhateau d2- Ramezay, Fine and Warmer EMBER 8, 1909.\u201cBACK TO MONTREAL.\u2019 | Official Programme of Events for the Week of Cel- [ ebrations, '|RECEPTION OF VISITORS WILL TAKE PLACE ON MONDAY } MORNING.- Montreal bas many attractions to eifer te those who will be in the city from Sept.I3 to 20, when the \u2018Back to Montreal\u2019 celebrations take place.The detailed programme has now beep com.leted, and will be carried out\u2019 as fol lows.:\u2014 10 MONDAY, SEPT 13.: pireets, ;

and another on Villeneuve street, west of Park avenue.\u2018Some discussion followed as to whether or not the sidewalks ordered to be constructed exceeded the available balance appropriated for the purpose.Mr.Berube was of opinion that all the petitions received for sidewalks should be granted, no matter if their cost amounted to $25,000.Mr.Grignon said these sidewalks asked for in all parts of the town would aggregate $100,000; and it was a question whether or not this sum could te appropriated.Councillor, Martel was in favor of getting all the amel orations possible for the town and he thought the Council should appropriate $100,000 more ror sidewalks as these were improvements which they should have.Mr.Berube was decidedly in favor of continuing the construction of aide- walks jf the council had the right to do so.The secretary in answer to a question said that Mr.Vanier estimated the cost of all the sidewalks asked for \u2018n these petitions at $200,000, Mr.Martel did not think the Council was exceeding the amount of the tunds at its disposal by granting all the petitions received up to date.The petitions were granted, The secretary submitted a statement showing the total amounts spent in the ditierent wards, from the $625,000 loan, for public works, including sidewalks up to date as follows: \u2019 1 se ae es eo 20 809 Centre.oy se se +6 6» 06 op es rps West No.1.4 46 40 40 Le 24,937 West No.2.28,796 A report on the propertfes to be ex- ropriated to widen the sidewak on t.Lawrence boulevard and on Park avenue, was submitted.Mr.Martel said the report would ghow the cost for a sidewalk on St.Lawrence boulevard of seven feet 1n width.Councillor Gauthier complained of the way the contractor was doing the work in Clarke street, \u2019 The mayor referred to the changes made in the level of some of the streets where the proprietors were obliged to luwer their door steps.Mr.Bastien, the contractor, explained why these changes were necessary.Mr.Martel said that when the corporation took possession of a street to execute public works it assumed ons- ibility and everything should be done that is possible so that people shou'd suffer fete inconvenience.r.rube comp.ained tha i- seer had act p t the engi \\ tice of the poles be.real Light, Heat an: 1 which obstructed some.Me thought the Con: notified.so that the ;- piaced according to the oo Mr.Bastien expat.tractor had asked the its pos placed wher The mayor thous Æhould be held respons lect.den ed the had been trees on injustice.The mavor very narrow Councillor Godoy ree;

for this work, asked to be refunded his $50,000 de- \u2018posit, as well as another sum of a little over $100,000, being the 15 percent held back on the amount due him as the work went on, the letter stating that, with the exception of a few ummport.ant details, the contract was now completed.: A report from Superintendent Jann showed that the actual amount due tke contractor was $10,000 on new work done.As regards the conduit, :t was, Mr.Janin said, practically comp.eted, but as Mr.McGovern had said there were a few details requir.ng attention, Mr.F.W.Hibbard, K.C., who was present with Mr.requested the committee to grant his cient\u2019s demand.Ald.Levesque remarked that, under the present severe criticism against ttem, the aldermen had to be very .:re- ful, and this was a bad time lo ask any favors.He preferred to follow the strict letter of the contraet, and insist on the full completion of the work.Such was also the opinion of the committee, and it was decided to pay over to the contractor the $10,000, Lut to hold back the sums retained by the city til! a report was presented by Sup erintendent Janin.After Mr.Mclovern and his counsel bad left the room, Ald.Nault remarked that Colonel Hibbard was giving Me support to the group of citizens who were blaming the aldermen tor many things, and yet he was one of the first to come and ask for a favor.As Mr.McGovern is expected to tead- er next week for the work of widening the old aqueduct, he will have to make another deposit of $100,000, as is required of each tenderer on that work, which is to cost one million dollars; this is probably the reason of his anxiety to get his deposit back.Work on the \u20acbore end, which is also in the hands ol the same contractor, and.whick w.l| cost about $10,000 more, is also in progress.wi uire several week do the job.req Ru to egation from Ville Emar® headed by Mayor Dubois, was heard on de matter of allowing them to take water out of the new conduit.At the present time they have a twelve-inch pipe which:-taps the open reservoir: and as the latter will eoon be disused the de:egation asked for the privilege ot getting their eupply from the condumt, and they suggested that a twenty-tour- inch pipe would be needed for their purpose, : Supt.Janin demurred the \u2018size of the pipe, somewhat as to but promised to he has been re-appointed in coundil .Ppointed by * make à report for the next meeting, McGovern himself, LORD STRATHCONA Slightly Injured in a Runa Accident.MR.MEGAW, EX.MAYOR ON, B.C., HAD Hi» BROKEN.Vernon, B.C., Sept.7-1.cona narrowly escaped iu an accident near \\ernon evening.Accompanied by C:ouston, he drove out 1 tc visit Lord Aberdeen\u2019s « +.farm, the Coldstream ra.were driven by Mr.WW.|.ex-mayor of the city.Uno near Long Lake, three ni the team became unmanaze ed toward the lake.M.o' the best whips in \u2018lu Le could do nothing to sto) tn which bad become 1rigiier.w'hiffletrees striking their.toot of the hill there sa» of the road, which starts the = lake at this place, about 70\" high.Seeing he couid nc 0 fT turn, Mr.Megaw puied wo =\" a wire fence.The carra-e * turned and a'l were (in.ground.All escaped wo injury, except Megaw, vi leg broken.Lord Strat > arm was brused, but h- ma.the accident, as far as be was but expressed great cor: \u201cPC gow's misfortune.Edmonton, Alb.Strathcona received a Warni lest evening, as he euppe.private car \u2018Earnschffe.\u201d a = station.He was driven at 1.°~ Ce «17 mi \u201c.=\" ™ \u201c3 y 061 ernment House in Lt.-frovern yea's carriage, led by a tT sion ,and band.To duv Lo 7 cona was presented wilh \u20184 degree of LL.D., by Ail< ta | n°7 A banquet was al-o tende 1 ship and an address trom Loo citizens.ca as HP Noon 3 \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 OBITUARY A CENTENAN Regina, Sask., Sept.7 1° liamson, born on June 15 at Pilot Butte.Sask.He 07 In Glasgow, Scot'and, ant © bers the outbreak oi In there nearly a century ag: °° with the plague and gver Xo fast were the people nL stricken that \\Wilhamson - brought to the house.* the undertaker.MR.TOM JOHNSON co INATED Cleveland.()., Sept.© turns indicate that 1» tiree times mayor «i renominated for that or mocratic ticker at fo on hea lx.e to-dux.-\u2014n 2 THE \u2018DAILY WITNESS i 17510 à published in the ~Witnea peer nr opté the corner of Craig and St 76 0 0 city of Montreal, by Jobs # y Dougalt and Frederick Eugene pours both of Montreal.All business communications © dressed John Dougall & S00.to ne Office, Montreal, and all letter or o Tditor, should be addressed HETT the \"Witness.\u2019 d- 2U GC be 8° e £D \u2018Wines "]
