had stated in private message to a
friend that Dr.. Cook had given the
world gold brick" This message
had been allowed to leak out. and, while
he would have preferred a more elegant

these words stand, because they were
at least emphatic. The explorer said
also that he would turn over to a com
potent tribunal and the public certified
copies Of his own observations made on
his trip TO the pole with all other infor-

Good Roads a Requisite

The commercial club is working
on the Good Road proposition and
a meeting was held here last week.
IT every farmer, every man who
gets his mail by rural carriers,
would drag his road in return for
free delivery as the department
asked HIM TO do, the good road
movement would be easily solved.
In Nemaha county, Kansas, it is
reported that a strip of country
was cut out of free delivery be-
cause the farmers refused to keep
up their roads. 1t is believed that
postmasters and carriers will in
the near future be authorized to
cut out territory where the roads
are neglected.
