Fragmented obituary notice with garbled text
A damaged newspaper fragment mentions marriages and deaths but unreadable names dates and places are scattered across the page making precise reporting impossible from the readable portions. The item appears to be a notice column with multiple notices mixed together and unclear attribution.
Dry food amounts sustain life say Dr Wiley
Government food expert Dr Harvey W Wiley says a man of 150 pounds with light work needs about 4000 calories daily and will live on roughly 1 percent of body weight in dry food. He notes Eskimo dogs need about a quarter pound of pemmican per day, and that extreme rations like Peary’s four pounds per dog could upset digestion.

Polar drift and the pole by drifting questioned
An analysis of Baldwin's claim that drift ice moves eastward toward the pole, arguing the arctic ice largely travels eastward but cannot reach the pole by drift. The piece notes Nansen's experience, the impossibility of a true pole-by-drift path, and the need for a northward approach with current knowledge.
Ice Drift At The Pole Defies Simple Compass Rules
Ambrose Bierce notes Arctic ice floes drift with complex paths, not fixed eastward movement. He argues polar ice can move in any direction, a concept illustrated by a diagram where movement varies by location A to D, and a ship could drift toward or away from the pole depending on the current.

Dr Explorer Dismisses Eskimo Tale On Polar Longitude
Special to The Washington Post reports Dr Frederick A Cook downplays Eskimo tales about his arctic voyage. He says longitude observations were straightforward with chronometer and artificial horizon, noting near the pole the method is harder but not insurmountable. He asserts Eskimos were instructed to tell no one of the discovery and dismisses Peary's account as immaterial.

Gen Greely Defers on Cook Peary Pole Debate
Gen Greely told The Washington Fort that he would not discuss Cook or Peary. He said the matter belongs to the American people once they have full evidence. He cannot judge the merit of any statement and believes both men reached the north pole. Time elapsed for Cook after reaching civilization should not lessen his achievement in the public eye.
