Received by Collector Charles II.

Burlington, Sept. S.-A touch of To-
cal color was given to the achieve
ment of Commander Robert Peary
yesterday when Charles II. Darling.

ton. but now collector of customs for

message from the explorer announc-
ing his discovery of the Pole. 1t was

via Cape Ray, N. F.. and dated Sep
TENDER 6. The message follows:
I'VE own the top of the earth; see
New York Times Regards Mrs.
Darling.
(Signed) "Peary"
Mr.. Darling has been an intimate
frienl of Commander Peary since
1901, when the latter returned from
one of his polar expeditions. After
this expedition Commander Peary was
for some time in the department of
docks and yards, and it was at that
time that he became acquainted with
Mr.. Darling, Mr.. Darling was then
acting secretary of the navy, and his
ihhuCiSS vas ldi SVll lHSlI ulitilldl III
bringing about the necessary support
for Mr.. Peary.
Mr.. Darling says that Peary
would undoubtedly have antedated
Cook in his discovery of the Pole had
it not been for tne fact that he was
delayed year in his start on this
expedition by repairs to his ship, the
Roosevelt The last message from
Peary when he left on his dash north
was the following sent to Mr.. Oar
ling:
"Etah. S. S. Roosevelt. August II.
1908
Dear Judge: Just a line to let
you know that everything has gone
well tnus far, and to tell you that
your interest and invaluable assist
ance | will always hold in liveliest
recollection and obligation. With
best regards to Mrs. Darling; am
sending her under another cover an
Arctic fox skin. May all go well with
you and yours.
Faithfully, "Peary"
Mr.. Darling said that the discovery
of the Pole has been the governing
passion of Pearys life since boyhoOd,
and that he seemed uneasy when not
making preparations for a dash into
tne Arctic circle He gives Peary
credit for conceiving the plan of liv-
ing with Eskimos and adopting their
habits. The idea of making a dash
from the northernmost land of North
America also belongs to Peary

MAY FIX PLUMBING
Judges Have a Plan and Send It To
State Board.

Judges Kent and Mattison have Sc
cured figures from local plumbers
whereby it is thought that the worst
of the abuses at the courthouse and
Jail can be temporarily remedied.
These temporary repairs alone will
cost about $3.50 and will not over
come the objections of the state
board of health, but will prevent the
sewage from leaking into the living
room.
The judges have forwarded the plan
to the state board of health and hope
the board will permit them to make
these repairs and not order the build
ing closed until after the legislature
meets and the county has a chance to
provide for new buildings.

The Character of a Happy Life.

How happy is he born and taught
That serveth not Rnother's will:
Whose armor is his honest thought,
And simple truth his utmost skill!
Whose passions not his masters are;
Whose soul is still prepared for death
Not tied unto the world with care
OF public fame or private breath;
Who envies none that chance doth raise
Or vice: who never understood
How deepest wounds are given by praise
Nor rules OF state, but rules of good
Who hath his life from rumors freed;
Whose conscience Is his strong retreat;
Whose state can neither fiatterers feed
Nor ruin make accusers great;
Who God doth late and early pray
More Of his grace than gifts to l1nd.
And entertains the harmless day

Belgian Coal Miners.
While coal is mined at greater
depth in Belgium than in most coun-
tries. the number of miners killed in
accidents is less in that country than
in any other. For the ten-year period
from 1891 to 1900 the number of IA
talities per 10000 workmen was 1884
per annum. In the metallic-ore mines
the number of workmen who have
been killed by accident is one-thrid
that in the coal mines.

Less Labor, More Accomplished

Most of our readers in Washington

for fire wood or some times for build
ing purposes. a tree needs to be cut
down or it needs to be cut into lengths
after it is down. This paper has taken
considerable interest in the advertising
of one of our patrons making what is
quite we'll known generally as the
folding saving machine. 1t is only a
little more expense than an ordinary
saw and its superiority to an ordinary
saw is remarkable. The company
writes that they are not meeting with
the responses they wish in this field,
although they have many users prob
ably right in your own neighbOrhoOd.
They want every man who has log
to cut to try one of these saws. They
believe that the price they are making

reader who uses a saw for cutting
logs or cord wood. 1t weighs less
than 80 pounds. 1t folds right up and
is easy to carry from place to place.
1t is always ready. 1t is quickly
changed from one log to another. No
axe is needed among the limbs. No

Value of Nitrate of Soda.

That progressive farmers have
realized for some time that Nitrate

shown by the increased as shown by
the demand for it in the Northwest
In 1897 but SO, 331 tons we're imported
into the United States. In 1906, 373,
9S6 tons were brought in; four and
one half times the quantity of less
than ten years previously. Nitrate
of Soda contains the nitrogen that is
necessary and nearly always deficient
in ordinary soils. In many soils too
there is an abundance of nitrogen,
which as it is in it's natural state,
however, must undergo a change of
form before it can nourish vegetation.
Hence, its application in an immedi-
ately available form is especially adj
vantageous for quick growing vege-
table crops, whose marketable quality
is measured by rapid and continuous
growth, and for those field crops
which make their greatest develop.

Music and Christmas.

What would Christmas be without
music?
How much added joy and gladness
and good cheer it brings! How much
happier we are for 1T
The angels announced the first
Christmas Day in a burst of song,
and that same spirit of praise has
made each succeeding Christmas the
occasion for universal peans of must
cal harmony.
This praise is voiced through carol
and hymn and chant and chime; by
king and pauper; until the music
swells into a mighty volume and as
cends again to the angels and to God.
We can all OF us give voice to our
happiness and gladness at Christmas
time. Ii we cannot sing or play, we
can express our feelings by bright
face and joyous conversation. But
better yet, We can have our carol or
hymn or chant or chime expressed for
us through that marvellous always
joyous instrument which reproduces
all the best IN every form of music

Especially through its highest type
