COOKS FAKE MADE
HIM 100000

New York, Dec. 30.-The New
York World figures that DR.. Cook
made 100000 out of the public on
his north pole claims. The exact
amount can be told only by himself
ana his managers, but 100000 is
very close figure.
His first important hit was when
the business men of ST. Louis decid-
ed to have him there is September.
Cook set his figures at $4,000, but
the committee thought it too high.
He finally cut it to $4,000.
The New York Herald paid him
$4,000 for his first story. cabled
from Lerwick on September I, at
about 81 a word His next move was
to advertise the manuscript of his
book Offers of less than $250,000
were not considered at first, but moth
ing came of it, so he finally sold the
book and his polar pictures to the
Herald at $4,000.

The Large Family.

Hon. Noonan of Boston is an able
bodied man who earns twelve dollars
every week by arduous toll. He is
the father of ten children and it
seems that providing for them and
bringing them up in the way they
should grow. so that they'll never
depart from it, has kept Mr. Noonan's
nose to the grindstone, for he does
not own his own home, and the man
of family who owns no home is in
hard lines.
Last week it became necessary for
him TO find a new residence, as the
one he was occupying had been sold,
and he went forth among the land
lords. After several days of ex-
hausting search and travail of spirit,
he sat down and took his pen in
hand and wrote a letter to the Bos-
ton Post, asking whittier we are
drifting. He has been unable TO rent
house, although he had the good
green wherewithal in the pockets of
his jeans, to pay the price in ad-
vance. the landlords. one and all
told him to go to, for he had too
many children in his family.
Hon. Noonan bewailed a civiliza-
ton which thus encouraged race sui
eide, and intimated strongly that
there ought to be a SPECIAL session
of the legislature His letter at
tracted some attention, and called
forth other letters from readers of
the Post, all of whom Endorsed the
complaint of Mr. NOonan. and agreed
that things had come to a pretty

selves.
The monetary situation is reason
ably assuring. Some slight furry
may be looked for in the last week
of the year owing to preparations for
January disbursements, but this is
not a serious matter, and after the
middle of January when crop funds
should begin to return from the in
terror we may look for still easier
conditions. The period of cheap
money, however, has passed, owing
to the activity of trade and to high
prices which absorb money freely. 1t
is useless to expect low rates for
some time to come, and the west may
not return funds as freely as usual,
keeping them at home for it's own
use Bank reserves are still low, and
the tendency for undue expansion of
credit is something that will require
watching. The condition of our for
eign trade remains unsatisfactory be-
cause of relatively small exports and
large imports Possibly We may be
able to ship securities more freely in
settlement of our foreign indebted
ness, which must be considerable.
AS stated above. the local outlook
is one that justifies confidence. Liqui-
jation may be expected in a few of

been discOunting dividend increases,

RIVER PROJECTS GET SETBACK
OkanOgan and NoOksack Work Adj
versely Reported by U. s.
Engineer

Washington, Dec. 30.-Secretary
Dickinson has forwarded to congress
adverse reports on three projects for
river improvement in the state of
Washington. One of these is the
Okanogan river, which has been I'M
der Improvement since 1899, in
which year the project of rock re-
moval, construction of wing dam and
snagging from the international
boundary to the mouth Of the river
was adopted.
This project" reports General
Marshall, chief of engineers, has
not produced the anticipated results,
and the district officer major C. w.
Kutz) states that it is doubtful
whether the river can be kept open
for eight months in the year except
by the construction of locks and
dams, the cost of which method of
improvement is considered out of
proportion to the value of present
and prospective commerce. In the
opinion of the division engineer,
Lieutenant Colonel John Bidjle,
corps Of engineers. concurs, this river
is not worthy of further improvement
at the present time by the general
government.
On the preliminary examination of
the Nooksack river to Lynden, What
com county, General Marshall re-
ports:
1T appears from this report that
the river and harbor act Of June 10,
1902, provided, under appropriation,
for the Improvement of Puget sound
and tributary waters, for the removal
of log jam in this river, but such

removal has not been followed by
any boat navigation; that the oak
commerce on the river is the floating
OF shingle bolts and a limited num-
Der of logs; that the present obstruc-
tons to navigation on the river
proper are principally snags with
one or two shoals, which can be re-
moved at slight cost so as to provide
facilities for river boats Of three or
four feet draft throughout the year.
and that the great obstacle to naviga-
ton by boats Is the extensive tide
flats at the rivers mouth, with wind
ing and shifting channels through it.
The district officer is of the opinion
that the benefits to be derived by
commerce do not justify the radical
and expensive improvement which
would be necessary at the mouth of
the river, and he states that the local
ity is not worthy of any improvement
by the United States at this time
other than is permissible in removing
log jams, snags, etc, under the
project for improving Puget sound
and tributaries
The third adverse report is on the
preliminary examination of the Alan
icut river, Wahkiakum county, to the
Columbia. The project is reported as
not worthy improvement by the gen
eral government.

C[EWS SAYS OUT
LOOK IS GOOD

New York. Dec. 30.-Holiday quiet
prevailed in the stock market. This
is the season Of the year when many
concerns are engaged in making
fresh plans for the future. and specu-
lative attention is generally diverted
in consequence. A good undertone
exists and a hopeful feeling is shown
regarding the future. Railroads are
doing a large traffic and the volume
of business is generally up to the
pre-panic level, and in some cases is
in excess. The country now feels the
stimulus of agricultural prosperity.
Every one is familiar with the fact
that western farmers and southern
planters have been receiving pheno-
menally high prices for their pro-
ducts this year. enabling them to be
liberal purchasers of clothing and
household goods, not to speak of
such luxurieS as pianos. talking ma
chimes. pianolas. automobiles, etc

epistle came to the hands of the eii-
tor, who printed it was a fancy Dor
der:
ITO the editor of the Post, Sir: l

nan is complaining because he is un-
able to find a landlord who is will
ing to let him have a house on ac-
count of his having ten children.
agree with the landlords. Who
wants ten children or even five chill
dren in a house, tearing it to pieces,
and racing in and out of it? Any
man who is only earning twelve dol
lars a week and has ten children
should be sent to Jail for the rest of
his life, where he can do no more
harm
"The idea of a poor man having
more than one or two children! |
agree with the landlord who thought
that Mr.. Noonan should hire a farm
for his family
Mary Claflin.''
Not since the celebrated tea party
has Boston been so stirred up as
she is stirred over this communica-
ton from Mary Claflin. Mr. Moo
non was gaining an enviable reputa-
ton as a martyr, and he and his ten
children were preparing to take the
lecture platform, and publish a book
each, making eleven books in all,
and he was negotiating with the
moving picture makers for a series
of films showing him and his ten
offspring being kicked down flights
of stairs by hard-hearted landlords,
when the Claflin letter caused the
hero worshipers to pause. They be-
gan to ask themselves whether there
really is any great merit in being
the parent of massmeeting.
The Post is inundated with letters
from readers and columns of them
are printed every day. The majority
of the correspondents sympathize
with the manifold parent, and de-
nounce Hon. Mary Claflin in unmeas-
ured terms; but few bold spirits
argue that Mary's position is we'll
taken. and that there is something
to be said for the landlords. The
editor of the Post has too much sense
to take a hand in the controversy; he
merely prints the letters, putting
non-committal headings over them,
and has his Office chair at the head
of the stairs, SO that he can fall down
q flight or two if delegation comes
to see him. The Gazette will exer-
else equal discretion, and voice no
opinion. It merely prints the story
because it seems interesting. and
bears upon a discussion that has en-
gagged the minds Of thoughtful peo-
pie for hundreds of years -Emporia
