TOOMI1S. rivalry between twi. BURNING explorers of the dqiiget RpotH of the earth's surface has tlirowu tlio natlonfl of the world Into n frenzy of excitement. On top of ( lie announcotucnt of the dlm-overy of tlio north polo by Dr. tfnxlerlck A. Cook of Hrooklyn comes tba receipt of tlic now equally historic mtraiago from Commander Robert 13. IVary crying triumphantly to the uni verse , "I'ole readied , " Following thlH statement came bin message that ho had discovered the KK > lo on April 0 , 1000. This date was almost n year later than that of the reported discovery by Dr. Cook. That tbc dauntless Teary. who has spent al most a lifetime among the does and tocrgs of the treacherous polar sea , ahould fiend his momentous news at tlio precise moment when the king of CHMiinark was entertaining his rival , Dr. Cook , In royal splendor Is no less sensational than It Is dramatic. Llttlo tdld Peary know that already the secret expedition of his foe in the race for Immortal fame had been balled world wide as the solver of the long hidden mysteries of the long bidden pole. Little - tlo did be know that during the tortu ous mouths he was spending hewing bis way through the primeval Ice bar- Tiers of the silent north another had already succeeded in a like emprise , one hardy , courageous and intelligent enough to snatch from bis finger tips the mead of glory , the prize , the re ward , that ambition and hope bad \vuispercd to him was to be bis. Peary Is the hero of no fewer than Newfoundland Crew tuid Stanch Ship Roosevelt His Aids The Course Com mander Followed His Ca reer-Record Trip In 1905-6. Had Able Newfoundland Sailors. Mr. lirldgmaii Is of the opinion that Peary was materially aided In his ex pedition to the pule by the fact that the captain and crew of the Roosevelt were natives of Newfoundland. Peary sent a congratulatory message to tbo governor of Newfoundland because ol the sterling qualities of bis crew. Characteristic of the doubting tend ency of the British mind , particular ly toward Americans and their ac complishments , London dispatches say that the receipt of the Peary dispatch created the greatest degree of excite ment there. The newspapers at first treated it as a hoax , and before pub lishing It they kept the telephone wires hot with Inquiries as to its au thenticity. The message reached the evening papers only In time for the briefest "stop press" mention. Deadlines such as "A Strange Telegram" and "AMya- tcrlous Message" emphasized the cau tion with which the startling news was received. The annoyance of the Britishers at this new double conquest for America can well be imagined. Left New York July 6 , 1908. The latest Peary expedition set out from New York on July 0 , 1003 , in the Btearner Roosevelt , which bad been thoroughly i-quipped to force her way through thi > Ice floes of the north. Peary joliu-d the ship at Sydney on July 17. Forty guests of the Peary Arctic club and Mrs. Peary boarded the Roosevelt and sailed as far as City Island , N. Y. , and returned to New I > ! \ J . - ' I COPYRIGHT , iqoa.ftYHfWW JSHU twimrl 1 - I j. . COVMANDER ROBERT E.

Scares misery and despair in its foul" xvake. xvake.Sitter Sitter Peary-Cook Discussion. The Peary message , which was re ceived at Indian Harbor , N. S. . gave instant rise to an imblttered discus sion as to whether Commander Peary or Dr. Cook was entitled to the credit of the discovery of the pole. Peary , Hieing better known than Cook and tlie possessor of more personal friends. Im mediately was championed by his ad mlrors , many of whom bad pronounced Ibe claims of Dr. Cook to be unsub stantiated. Even when the later news came that Peury had not reached the pole until almost a year after Cook the former's supporters continued their claims , as serting that Cook could not prove his reports to be true and that Peary could convince the world. The further news from Peary that lib ) vessel , the Roosevelt , was safe vltleuced that he had used excellent Judgment in the planning of bis expe dition , for it is an unusual feat for u venturer as far north as Peary went rte bring back his vessel Intact. The 'fact that the Roosevelt was designed anil built at great expense especially : for arctic exploration purposes of course contributed to the chance that hc wodld be brought back In safety. Herbert L. Brldgman of Brooklyn , secretary of the Arctic club , to whom HVary sent a cipher message nnnounc- flng his discovery and the safety of bis ship , said. "The message , to my Diiind , Indicates that Commander Peary will come right on homo in the Roosevelt velt " lie said he did nut intend sending nv dispatch to Peary , as none was necessary. lie did uot expect to go to meet the Roosevelt , Inasmuch as t. had not received a telegram contain Ing the code word "twilight. " Tun word , he explained , meant. "Meet njt at Sydney. " York later on the navy tug Xarkctta. "If I do not find the pole this time I will never try again , " was the parting message from Peary to the world. Never before had the arctic explorer of so many expeditions been so well equipped for the arduous northern journey. Ex-President Roosevelt was keenly Interested In the present arctic trip , and Immediately before leaving the commander and Mrs. Peary Journeyed to Oyster Bay. N. Y. . and took lunch eon with Colonel Roosevelt. Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt Inspected the vessel which had been named after the president immediately before Ball ing. , Roosevelt's Farewell Cry. "Good luck ! Good luck ! Good luck ! Remember , America must be first to reach the pole ! " cried Roosevelt as ho was leaving the Peary vessel after in specting it off Oyster Bay. "Thanks. Mr. President. It's the north pole or bust for us ! " cried Peary , waving his hat , while the crew stood about and cheered. Captain Bartlett of the Roosevelt was Peary's most trusted lieutenant and took entire command of the trip until his master Joined it at Sydney. In the initial stages of the northern trip Peary made extraordinarily good time. On July 21 be left Ilawkes Har bor , Labrador , for Greenland. Before leaving Hawkes Harbor Peary sent the following dispatch to the Arctic club In New York city : Leaving for Greenland 4pm. today Everybody well and outlook bright. July O. 190A ROUKRT K I'EARY. Peary and hU crnw were more san- ! galne over the outlook of the u\ present mpedltion tbau any other attemptej by the veteran explorer. Felt He Would Beach Pole. Frary predicted upon his setting out that be would return to the United States lit October. 1000 , after Imping successfully attained the goal sought by the searchers for the pole. Peary and tils party however , were ' prepared for a stay of throe years , and ' only last month a ropply ihlp was seat to carry relief. Tbo relief ship Jcanlo Balled from Bt John's , N. P. , on Aug. 2 , carrying fifty tons of coal and a similar amount of provisions. These were- landed at Ktah. Greenland. Harry Whitney , in whose keeping Dr. Cook left much of his data at Etnh , went north with the Peary ex- pcdltlpn to spend tbo winter In Green land hunting musk oxen. The last hoard from Pcory before he plunged Into the northern solitudes of ice and snow was in September , 1008. The Peary Arctic club received tbo following dispatch Sept. 20 , 1008. . from the explorer : I Etah , North Greenland , AUE. 17 , 1908 , vial | Indian Harbor and Capo Ray , N. F. . ' Bept. 26. 1908.

A second dispatch , forwarded by the Bame route , also received by Secretary Brldginan from Captain Samuel W. Bartlott. told of the steamer Erik hav ing collided with an Iceberg and hav ing sustained serious damage. Cap tain Bartlett In the same message also reported that Peary's oteamer , the Roosevelt , left Etah Aug. 17. His dis patch follows : Collided Iceberg Monday night. Damage - ago serious. Proceeding along shore. Roosevelt left Etah Aug. 17. Prospects of EUCCCIS good. What Peary Feared Most. Peary went prepared to encounter much open water. That was a handi cap he greatly feared , ns dogs and sledges cannot cross and have to make long detours around the open water after the vessel Is left behind. On his present expedition Mr. Peary announced that howould take a route from Grant Land more to the west and not so directly north as that of his former attempt , heading almost as far as the eightieth meridian of longitude and thus compensating for the east ward ice drift. He planned to estab lish his last base on n newly found Is land northwest of Grant Land. Peary based great boiws on the results to be obtained by following the arctic cur rents. The advantage of this route is that It allows a base of supplies approximate ly a hundred miles nearer tbo goal than the Spltzbergen base , which has been Its chief rival. Peary's friends for several weeks past had been expressing n belief that be hnd already reached his goal. Before lie set out some one asked Peary what the discovery of the pole would mean. He gave with charac teristic enthusiasm this answer : "It Is to oion ) up 3.000.000 square miles of absolutely unknown regions. Tin1 race N both sentimental and mural , and If we win we will be vic torious In tin1 greatest contest ever en gaged in by nations wherein there was no Jealousy. " Althouuh i hi' figures given by Dr. rook makt his discovery of the pole nntedntf Mm of Peary by nearly a year , apparently Commander Peary will lie till' first to land oil American soil and reiehe the plaudits of his country men. If the commander comes on at once he should reach New York by rail from Sydney In a few days. Dr. Cook does not plan to sail from Copenhagen till Sept. 23. He will In that case not reach New York till nearly a month after his rival. Career of Commander Peary. Commander Peary bus made several arduous trips Into the arctic ice. He was bom at Cresson Springs , Pa. , in May. 1S.0. He entered the navy In 1881. His first polar experience was acquired In 1SSO , when ho made a rec onnaissance of the Greenland Inland Ice. In June. 1891. ho sailed from New York on the Kite and. making his headquarters at McCormlck bay , on the west coast of Greenland , penetrat ed as far north as latitude 82. In 1891-5 he reached the seventy-eighth parallel on the west Greenland coast. ' In 1SOS-9 ho went to between the sev enty-ninth and eightieth parallels on the east coast of Ellesmere Land. In 1000 be reached the eighty-second par allel on the cast coast of Grlunell Land. In 1905-0 he skirted the north coast of Grlunell Land and made an attack on the polo from Cape Moss. " This was the expedition -which reached what Tvas at that tlmo "farthest north. " 87 degrees 0 minutes. Ho reached that point on April 21. Comparatively smooth traveling he then found until he reached latitude K5 degrees 12 minutes. There lie en countered n terrific storm , which held him prisoner , while the Ice drift car ried him seventy miles to the east These handicaps and tlio constantly widening lanes of water and Increas ing roughness of the Ice. together with a threatened failure of supplies , forced I'eary to turn back ou April 21. Railroad Rumors. Gregory Advocate : There is great activity among the railroads to BOO which will got into Trlpp county flrst , and if all reports are true the North western will bo there before snow tlics. For n number of weeks past a party of Milwaukee surveyors have been running from Oacoma , in Lymnn county , to Rosoland , one of the now towns in the northeastern part of Trlpp county. They are taking n southwesterly direction following the i old government survey from Chamber lain to Roseland. This activity on the part of the Milwaukee has caused the Northwestern to hasten their exten sion through Trlpp county. Informa tion cornea from reliable aourceo that the contract has boon lot for the extension - tension as far ns Colome , and that dirt will fly In about ton days. It is the Intention of the Northwestern to got as far as Colomo before winter sots In. 1 It is also evident that Colomo Is the only town In Trlpp county to got the road and that the company will estab lish several now townsltos along the extension. The fact that they paid , $35,000 for a section of land a mile and a half northeast of Lamro and that they will soon lay out a portion of it into town lots has Just leaked out. It is certain that Trlpp county will have two railroads before another crop is ready to harvest. Trlpp County Journal : Surveyors of the Milwaukee railroad company are this week working in Trlpp coun ' ty. Starting from Oacoma , they are headed for Lamro by way of Rosoland. , The survey has already reached Rose- land , whore the surveyors are camped , and they are now working on toward Lamro. Will Be Held Up. Valentine Republican : One of the developments of the last week in the United States land ofllco has been the discovery that by order of the com missioner of the general land ofllce , who recently passed through a part of the Kinkaid territory , all proofs in the Kinkald district are to bo hold up by the local officers until the entry is per sonally examined by a special agent. Two such agents are now in the Hold examining all entries whose owners have advertised to make proof , but whether they will bo able to keep up with the rush Is a serious question. In this connection it may bo said that entrymen should not bo in a hurry to in tike proof upon their homesteads. They have two years after the explra tion of five years from date of entry in which to offer proof , and too much haste now may result in some of them coming to grief. , The local ofllce now has applications to make proof which will run into the middle of November , and it Is not likely that these proofs can be allowed as soon as made. Surveyors at Spencer. Spencer Advocate : Surveyors for the proposed Valentine electric line are working out of Spencer this week. They are making a survey from here west with the view of connecting with the Northwestern at this point. Butte and Naper are having sixteen epileptic fits over this proposed line , but don't get excited , for Spencer will be there at the showdown stronger than your old socks. From a business point the road would be a great thing for this section of the country. The survey that is being made runs south and west from Spencer.

Buckmaster on first although crippled , played a fine game , while Neno on short stop was there with the goods , playing an errorless game ur.d featured in base stealing.

Special to \ The News : Albion now has a 'Din- ( ] pleto water gas plant for the purpose of lighting and cooking. Formerly the plant was in the hands of private parties and gasoline gas was used , mt the municipality purchased it and changed it over into the water yas , using crude oil. In speaking of the plant the News has the following to say : "Tho now gas was turned Into the mains last week , and Albion now lias a gas service equal to any In the state , and It belongs to tbo munici pality. The now water gas is differ ent from the gasoline gas that wo have bad in the past. It Is no bettor so far as light Is concerned , but for stove use it is very much superior , and is Just as near perfection as any thing yet discovered. It Is very much hotter than the old gas , and as loss Is required , the saving will certainly bo great. At the present prlco of coal , it Is claimed that for cooking purposes a gas steve Is cheaper than a coal stovo. If there were no differ ence In expense , the gas stove is so convenient , clean and comfortable to use , It will bo given the preference.
