The investigation shows that the
New York Life Insurance Company
contributed $4S,7O2 to the Republi-
can campaign fund in the last presi-
Dental election. And this was not
the only political appropriation
made by the company, as it has been
in politics for the last ten or twelve
years and has assisted with the
stockholders money in every cam
paign. The Democratic policyhold-
ers do not approve of this reckless
expenditure of their money.

NEWS OF MINNESOTA,

Half Fare Rates to MINI. State Fair.
There having been some misleading
statements regarding half fare rates
to the Minnesota state fair, the exac,
situation should be made plain to the
people Of Northwest. All lines in the
Western Passenger Association have
already granted the half fare rate.
This includes the Chicago, milwaukee,
& ST. Paul; the ''Northwestern'' and
Omaha; the Great Western; the Min
neapolis Il st. st. Louis; the Burling'
ton and the Wisconsin Central " II
will be seen from this that half rates
have actually been announced and are
assured for all southern and central
Minnesota, northern Iowa, eastern
South Dakota and western Wisconsin
The Northern Pacific, Great North
ern and $500" lines have held up the
announcement of half rates pending
arrangements for protecting them
selves against the scalping of state
fair tickets; but there is not the least
question that these roads will grant
the rate as usual and that the official
announcement will be made in a shor
time-pcrhaps before these lines reach
the reader. The people of the North
west need have no fear that they will
not get the usual half fare rate to tn,
Minnesota state fair.

done much of Lieut.. Peary's clerical
work. She has read much about the
frozen regions. She has prepared
maps and routes for the coming trip
and all have been approved by Mr..
Peary when submitted to him for ex.
animation.
When Peary came to Maine last
year to make arrangements with the
shipyards for the construction Of the
Roosevelt he called upon Miss Babb
and explained to her in great detail
what he intended to do on his next
dash to the pole. Invariably any
changes in the itinerary which Miss
Babb made were needed by Peary,
fho submitted. the revised details to
the Arctic Club of North America,
which is financing the forthcoming
trip.
After Peary's second attempt to
reach the pole failed he abandoned
the project, thinking that it would be
impossible to get another leave Of
absence from the secretary of the
navy. Miss Babb counseled against
his resolve and, taking the matter In
her own hands, obtained the secre'
tary's consent for another leave.
Then it was that Miss Babb COM
menced to think what nice journey
the voyage would be for a woman to
make. She talked with her relatives,
and when she had, gained the opinion
of several persons she fatty told
Peary that she intended to make the
trip with him If quarters could be
fixed up for her on the Roosevelt.
II shall come back in two years"
she said when the scholars asked her
if she ever again would teach their
school, "and when open school
again here I'll tell you all about the
trip, about the Eskimos and the fun
ny looking dogs, what queer clothing
we had to wear while in the north
and just how it feels to be the first
woman to reach the north POLE"
Miss Babb went to her home in
Westbrook and at once began prepare
tions to leave on the trip. She will
look after the installation of the wire
less telegraph apparatus and will oper-
ate the instrument while in the arctic
regions. She has learned telegraphy
and stenography and is an expert at
photography. Much of the data con-
corning the trip and all the pictures
of interesting points visited along the
line will be her work., as we'll as all
the press matter concerning the ex.
petition.
Miss Babb was born in Sebago. Her
mother died in hospital at Portland
ten years ago, while Miss Babb was
just finishing her education. Com
PEELED to forsake school and earn her
own living, the young woman went
to the home of her uncle and aunt,
DR.. and Mrs. J. T. Herr, at Westbrook.
They have since acted as her parents.
The adventurous young woman has
had made an entire outfit of clothing
suitable for use in the arctic regions,
even to several pairs of snow.shoes.

Hay.

Minneapol,s.-Scarcity Of hay may
be felt this fall as a result of the flood
ing of the low lands along the Missis'
sippi river. Thousands of acres OF
good meadow land lie along the banks
of the river below the Twin Cities and
along the headwaters. The July Hood
will make it impossible to get a crop
from these, as the river has been high
for SO long that the growing grass has
been converted into seaweed.
Coming so late in the season. the
second crop will be light. The first
crop, usually made in the latter part
of June or first of July, is an import
ant part of the Northwestern supply.
With this cut off, the price of hay
grown on the higher grounds probably
will be much higher than it has been
within recent years. Farmers near the
Twin Cities who are fortunate enough
to have good hay crops are expecting
higher prices than those now pre-
vailing.

greatest number of votes. The
mayor-elect declared that his pledges
made before election would be put
into execution at once.
A look at Caldwell, the Caldwell of
the past, Immediate and ancient, is
necessary to an understanding Of what
Cupp undertook when he made his
daring stand for better ways of civic
living. ..
Thirty years ago Caldwell was
tough, in the real out-and-out accepta-
ton of that term in the west. Being
centrally located to dozen or more
big ranches, it was but natural that
the town was chosen as the rendezvous
for the gatherings of cowboys and
others of Like ilk.
Gradually, with the slow decadence
of old.time men and methods in the
west, the town grew a bit better.
Gambling houses, saloons Of all de-
grees remained, however, fostering and
spreading like a moral ulcer. There
were many of such places when Mayor
Cupp took the presiding officers seat
at the first council meeting under the
new political status of the commun'

Improving the Capitol.

St. Paul.-An imposing entrance to
the grounds of the new capitol, which
NAV require the vacation of that por-
ton of Wabasha street from Central
avenue to Rice street, will probably be
the next important task undertaken
by the state capitol commission or its
successor.
The capitol commission has practi-
cally decided not to undertake the con-
struction of an approach this year, and
it is possible that the matter will be
deferred until after the next session OF
the legislature. The plan that has
been suggested would require the ex-
penditure of considerable money, more
than the commission has left out of the
81, 500, 600 tax levy.

fort and the fort at Wantai. These
losses laid bare the entire defenses of
the fortress.
General Stoessel, most stubborn in
carrying out the will of his sovereign,
has seen the advance of the besieging
army gain in momentum and energy
until to hold out longer would have
been a crime against humanity. The
conditions of the surrender are not yet
known, but in all quarters it is antici-
pated that they will be such as an hon
orable soldier may accept from brave
and victorious enemy.
Advices from Tokyo say that the
representatives of Generals Nogi and
Stoessel, who met at Shushiying at
noon to arrange terms for the capitu-
lation of Port Arthur, have reached
an agreement.
General Nogi has announced to the
emperor the capitulation of the Rus
sian forces at Port Arthur, as follows:
THE plenipotentiaries of both parties
have concluded their negotiations. The
Russian commissioners accepted on the
whole the conditions stipulated by us
and consented to capitulate. Simulta-
neously with the conclusion of negotia-
tons both armies suspended hostilities.
1t 10 expected that the Japanese army
will enter the city Of Port Arthur this
morning"
Major General Ijichi, chief Of staff
Of Nogi's army, who conducted the ne
gotiations for the Japanese. went TO
the conference with instructions from
the Japanese emperor to make the
most magnanimous terms with the rep
resentatives of the gallant Stoessel.
The terms Of the agreement covered
but a few points, and the Russian gar
rison will be permitted to march out
with the honors Of war, taking its
flags and arms. and will be sent back
TO Russia. There is some question as
to whether paroles will be required Of
the garrison.
The JOY at Tokyo over the triumph
of the japanese arms at Port Arthur
has been leavened somewhat by the
report that Vice Admiral Rojestven-
sky's Russian Baltic squadron is at
st. Marie island Of Madagascar, in
good shape and ready to take an active
part in the fighting at any time.
In some circles fear is expressed that
the Russian vice admiral is ready to
move to Port Arthur and engage To-
COS fleet while the japanese admiral is
away. A curious situation would re-
suit from such move, as long before
the Russians could get to Port Arthur
