Congress Win Reward Cook.

DR.. Cook will have a large share in
the material value of the increased
possessions of the United States. In
the final analysis, Congress will de-
termine the compensation to be given
the explorer for his discovery and the
taking possession in the name of the
United States. Time will be necessary
to work this out. Uncle Sam will de-
mand a careful inventory of his new
possessions before he pays his cash,
but Dr. Cook has made fortune, the
size of which cannot be estimated at
the present time.
What part of the North Pole terri
tory is land cannot be told from re-
ports. Commander Peary reached a
latitude of practically 81 degrees
north. The North Pole is 80 degrees.
Each degree is sixty miles. Peary
was within $50 miles of the Pole.
What portion of this territory with a
radius of $50 miles is island, the re-
ports from DR.. Cook do not show.

pounds in weight might be sent from
one point on any route to another
point on the same route at the rate
of cents for the first pound or any
fraction of a pound and cents for
each additional pound up to eleven,
thus making the maximum charge

1t was Mr.. Won Meyers opinion,
based on departmental statistics, that
if as many as three parcels we're for
warded each day on each route the
resultant profit would almost if not
quite offset the deficit. 1t seems to
be about time that this wholly unob-

MANUFACTURING IN THE SOUTH
Jacksonville Times Union.)


For the second successive year the
South has led the Ncs~h in the con-
gsls W ia7sgg@on. During the cot
@@9at closed with Tuesday
IN mills took 2,560,OOO bales
gon, against 100000 bales
token by Northern mills This does
not mean that the South leads the
North in the value of it's manufac-
lures of cotton. In this the North
still leads, because some of the fac
tories of the South make only thread
and the South devotes it's attention
almost exclusively to the manufac-
ture of the coarser grades of goods.
The value of the product of North
ern cotton factories is still greater
than that of the product of the cotton
factories of the South, but the lead
of the North in this respect is being
cut down every year, and in few
more years the South will forge
ahead
What the Southern states have ac-
complished in the line of cotton man
ufacture is only a foreshadowing Of
what they will accomplish. The
rapidity of their march to the front
is shown by the statistics of manu-
facture showing the takings of North
ern and Southern mills.
In thirty-nine years the North has
gained 222 per cent, while the South
has gained 300 per cent.
During the last twenty-nine years
the North has gained SO per cent,
while the South has gained 1,O59~ E6r
cent.
During the last nineteen years the
North mas gained 40 per cent, while
the South has gained $40 per cent.
The United States is now the great
est cotton manufacturing country on
earth, and if her rapid rate of growth
continues the South will soon not
only double the North in cotton con-
sumption, but will consume more cot
ton than any entire foreign nation
1t will be great day for the South
the day when the greater part of her
principal crop is manufactured at
home.

A FORTUNE Is AHEAD

Washington Sept 6-The United
States will own, govern and defend
the North Pole country discovered by
Dr. d. C c53iz The american flag, having
been planted on previously undiscov-
cred and unknown territory carries
with it ownership by the United
States. This right of ownership will
not be surrounded or relinquished.
This is the authoritative statement
from officials of the State and Navy
Departments and from the Department
of Justice. The heads of these depart
ments are absent from Washington.
Those in charge say they cannot see
how the administration can take any
other position in reference to DR..
Cooks discovery.
The commercial or physical value
of the property added to the United
| States is unknown. DR.. Cooks reports
will establish this in some measure.
Future explorations will be necessary
to make this definite There is a gen
eral belief that this non-contiguous
territory may be of surprising wealth.
Value of the Discovery.
Rumors have it that there are is
lands of iron ore of remarkable value
1t is reported that animals with furs
of marvellous quality abound. I'm
confirmed reports have it that DR..
Cook has found an island of land
measuring 10000 square This
land is a desert of ice, but is valuable.
The discovery of a northwest pass
age is now believed practical The
United States will lead in this dis
covery.
By possession of the North Pole is
land it will control this passage. In
so doing its strategic advantage
against the nations of the world is
increased and made practically invul-
nerable, in the opinion of naval ex-

 . Miller. who lead the QuakerB on tho grldIron this senson, was recently TO- moved from his regular position ot
 quarterback and placed at rightIo end.
 Miller made good at his neWr position
 right on the jump and is playing grand gamel
 venting a no score game being played by one of her big occidental collegiate sisters. Michigan defeated Case by @ 8 to O total. Captain Allerdice booted a successful place kick from the thirty five yard line after a long run by Lawton had carried the leather with in striking distance. Tobln of Dart mouth tallied a field goal against Bow doin, sending his teams score up to 1 10 tO O. Larry VOrhis made lt possible for Pennsylvania State to tie the Car lisle Indians by bOOtlng a field goal. Incidentally Libby the aborigines' quarterback, essayed four times to achieve the three point score. VOr- ! his also attempted another goal toward ! the close of the game, but failed. Hubby" Corlett sent Miami down to g to o defeat in the otherwise cer- l tain scoreless game with Reserve re- gently.
 AIversou of Rutgers caused three points to be challed against the Navy'5 record by his field goal in their recent contest. Other instances of the -popu- larity of the play were afforded by games in the west. Miami downed the l Western Reserve by a 8 to o score Mis- souri triumphed over the Kansas A. C.. through the same medium, while Iowa was forced to use the play to best Cor nell college.
 From the foregoing it is easy to real ize that the field goal will in all prob, ability play an important part iu the
 deciding of matches this season, ag vas the case In 1908.

MRS. BELMONT IS
 N0E AM AUTHOR

STORIES OF CHILD LIFE.
Tho Volume Roo5rds Doing0 of Mrs. BelmOntG Own Children - French Artiat tho llustratOr-DisPosal of Che Profits.

Artiat tho llIustratOr-Disposal of
 tho ProHts.
 Mrs. O. Fl. p. Belmont, the New York society woman who has joined the woman's suffrage movement has written a story book for children which is almost ready for the publish CTS hands, and if 1t were not for the great demands made upon her time by suffrage work the set of tales would have been among this years holiday offerings.
 As a story writer Mrs. Belmont ap- pears in new guise, for few if any of her most intimate friends have had the slightest inkllng of this gift. The book was begun several months ago and has been written for her own pleasure and for the entertainment of her grandchildren, the two sons of the Duchess of Marlborough
 The stories have pleased this audi ence of two, the youthful Marquis of Blauford md Lord Ivor Spencer Churchill, both of whom have listened qagerly to the recital of stirring tales oFthe two heroes and one heroine who are the principal characters in the book. It was her grandchlldren's ab- sorbed interest in these stories, which they have clamorcd for ever since they were old enough to listen to stories, that suggested the idea of collecting the tales and presenting them in book form for others to read, for, Mrs. Bel mont explained, "if these tales of other children give pleasure to my grandchildren might they not inter- est and entertain others"
 Stories of tho Vanderbilts,
 The charm of this little volume is that tliey are all true stories, being a faithful chronicle of the doings of Mrs. Belmonts own children when they were growing up, so that when the FouB of the Duchess of Marlborough listen to these stories of the pranks and the childish plays of the two heroes and the heroine in the book they are really hearing about their own mother and their two uuclcs, Mir. W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., and Mir. Harold Sterling Vanderbilt
 The book will be handsomely Illus trated, Mrs. Belmont says, she herself having arranged personally with well known French artist to make the drawings, and 1t will be a volume of unusual beauty as well as of unusual interest.
 It has not been decided by the au- thor to what purpose the funds from the sale of the book will be placed, but 1t would not be at all surprising if they were devoted to the cause of wo- man. suffrage, in which Mrs. Belmont is interested.

MICHIGAN HELPED BY BOOT.
Captain Allordies'o Too Instrumental In Defeating Case Univornity-Pen1 State, Princeton and Reserve Helped by Points Thus Made.

When the value of the field goal was reduced from four to three points fol- lowers of the popular college pasdme were inclined to believe that this move on the part of the rules committee would discourage field goal kicking and eventually do away with one of the original features of the game. Such is not the case, however, for one has only to cite the games which have been won by a single field goal since the adoption of the new rules. In a great number of instances a seeming defeat or tie was turned Into victory for some eleven by a we'll placed GeId goal when all other means of gaining ground and scoring points had failed.
 It was heady work on the part of Princeton's field general and the clever toe of Cunningham that saved the IT. gers from being played to a scoreless tie by FOrdham recently. With but a few minutes left to play in the second half of the game Princeton recovered the ball on tumble. Cunningham was called upon to drive the oval over the crossbar for the three points that meant saving his team from the igno- miny of a tie with a supposedly weak CT eleven, and hC was equal to the task.
 Moreover. proof positive that the IT, ger coaches had determined upon the field goal to save their charges was re- dected in that Cunningham essayed the play twice shortly after the begin ming of the second half.
 But if the field goal saved Prince ton 1t was also responsible for pre-

 he is one of the greatest kuuckle push CTS chat ever stepped into a ring to wallop an opponent.
 Since his easy dcfca, of Kctchel the coI0red man has forced the knockers who have been bammcring him since he defeated Tommy Burns in Austra- Ia last December Co admit that lief fries will have his hands full in try ing ro defeat him.
 For several years Johnson has hip- p0dromcd around the country, taking ou second ratcrs and allowing them to stay the limit. but since his victory over Burns he has changed. or course his battles with Sailor Burke and "Pn.0aGcInufa Jack" O'BrIcu did look a little suspicious. Still. his excuse for not knocking out the men was a good one. He claimed that he was saving his hands for the important battles to come later aud was satisfied with out pointing the men,
 But since chat time he has done gen. ulue lighting Johnson battered tough Tony Ross and beat up Al Kaufman in the most scientific manner He fought and beat NorcHo. scientifically. All through ule EcuneI fight he showed his mastery.
 When Jeurips and Johnson meet it will be a wonderful fight Jeff has never been put to Che mat by any man he has ever fought. His great head and thick neck have always seemed impcrvious to punishment No matter how badly bruised or beaten up he has been. JeT has never weak eued He has been battered almost Co a pulp. and he has never taken a back step Go avoid punishment. Jeff has always kept un boring in until he landed the crushing blow that won for him. The blow that knocked Ketchel out wouldn't have worried JeI at all- the Jeu that we saw fighting four or five years ago. And Jcliries in his last few fights was as swift and clever as any heavyweight that ever stepped into a ring. He looks like the same old Je0'rtcs.
 It is more than likely that the pair will meet In forly-Gvc round bout before Cogrorh's club in CoIma Cal Jenrics at present weighs 23O pounds and claims he has never felt better in his life. He has been exercising in a mild sort of way ever since last March and has taken or nearly forty pounds As he weighed 225 pounds when he whipped CorDatt and Fitzsimmons in California more than six years ago and was at his best then, it is hard to believe that hc will be able to get down to 21O and be strong In a word, if JeUries really weighs 2&O now after eight months Of light exercise 1t seems unreasonable to suppose that he needs six months more to at himself for a fight with Johnson.
