PAWHUSKA MEN
MUCH ENTHUSED
Counties Rapidly Getting in Line For
the Great Exhibit at illinois
State Fair.


M. S. Runyan was in Pawhuska
yesterday and the chamber of com
merce of that city last night held a
special meeting to consider the prop
osition Of making an exhibit at the
Illinois fair In conjunction with Craig
and the other counties that have un-
dertaken the proposition. The Usage
county men were more than enthsi-
astic over the plan and lost no time
in voting to contribute 500 to the
fund for the exhibit and to pay the
expenses of a man to go with the ex-
hibit.
So pleased were the Pawhuska
men with the idea that they declared
they would have thought it an insult,
had they not been consulted, and ask
ed to join the plan? Why will the
biggest county in the state help in
such an advertisement of the states
resources? Well you just bet she
will" declared one enthusiast Just
as the agents can visit the county
seats are. the counties falling in line
for this great exhibit, and already
visions of that exhibit and the
triumph that will follow for Oklaho-
ma can be seen. What magnificent
spectacle will the varied assortment
Of agricultural products, minerals,
oils, etc, make at the fair.
Tulsa, Nowata, and Washington
counties are in line and c. G. Roberts
is at McAlester today and another
man is at Eufaula lining up McIntoch
county. Not county has yet refused
to go into the plan, and if there We're
time it is reasonably certain that ev-
cry county in the state would be rep
resented, but the west side win prob
ably not be visited owing to the lack
of time. The exhibit however, will be
one of which the entire state may
feel proud

FIRST RAIN HERE SINCE
LATTER PART or JULY

Vinita and vicinity last night was
visited by the first rain of any conse-
quence since July For several
weeks this town has sweltered in a
condition that has been almost intol-
cradle. The streets in the unpayed
district have been a continuous
stretch of dust from two to five inches
deep. LAWS in the city have been
scared and Drowned by the hot sun
and winds The leaves on the trees
had begun to turn brown and fall and
vegetable growth was at a standstill.
The rain last night refreshed the
vegetation and laid the dust, but was
not enough to be of great benefit as
it did not supply the stock water
tanks and in many places this is the
most needed relief.
The drouth which ended last night
was the longest and most severe ever
known here. The rainfall for the
night was one inch.

Whitten, boatswain of Peary's auxil-
iary steamer 'Erik" in 1906 and again
in 1908, adds his quota to the polar
controversy yesterday. He was on
the Erick in the summer Of 1907 when
she lay for a week in Sydney along
side the schooner John r. Bradley
in which Cook started for the pole.
Whitten says that the Bradley was
abundantly equipped for Cooks ex-
pedition, having supplies for at least
three years. He confirms the charge
made by Cook at Copenhagen that
Peary took Cooks provisions, adding,
not only did the crew Of the ship
take Cooks stores at Etah, but that
boats were sent to Annatook, thirty
miles distant, to remove Cooks pro-
visions stored there.
Boatswain Whitten also made the
statement that both Cooks and

New York, Sept i4--The develop
ments in the north pole controversy,
today, contain arguments in favor Of
both Commander Peary and Dr. Cook.
The oft repeated charge that Peary
made use of Cooks stores is denied
by Herbert L. Bridgman, secretary of
the Peary Arctic Club, who asserts
that instead Of appropriating his
rivals stores at the Annatook, Peary
only saved them after they bad been
abandoned by Rudolph F'raneke.
Cooks steward, who had been left in
charge of them, and who became
physically unfit to remain longer in
the north. On the other hand Cooks
supporters have been quick to seize
upon the intelligence that only one
Eskimo reached the pole with Peary
DR.. Cook says he had two Eskimos
with him.

occasional snow storm, They raise
small grain and potatoes, which grow
there to perfection in the short season
The irrigated districts in our own
country in the far northwest look
mighty desoIate Even in the green
spots and places where they do some
farming, they have drawbacks, in the
way of early frosts and the like. That
country has some Of the smoothest

belt had better hold to it, and let the
