From the Lawrence Daily World for Oct. 21, 1909: “University chancellor Frank Strong has offered the services of KU’s L.L. Dyche for a coming Mt. McKinley ascension by Frederick Cook, a recognized discoverer of the North Pole (Adm. Peary supporters disagree). Dyche has been there before and it seems sure he will be accepted for the venture. … High prices are causing the farmers of Douglas County to empty their wheat bins. Hard wheat is bringing in $1.15 a bushel and the best grade of soft wheat brings in $1.18. New corn is coming in but slowly.”
