Lish Strong has force of men
and teams working on the race
track, which will be put in first
class condition. All the expense of
constructing the track and building
the necessary stables, etc., is being
borne by Mr.. Strong.
Mr.. Strong has also announced
his willingness to put up $4,000 OF
the $4,000 necessary to secure the
circuit races this fall.
Montpelier cannot afford to let
this opportunity pass to demonstrate
to the people of this section of the
ate that we have live town here.
These races would bring a greater
number of people to this town than
any other attraction that could pos
sibly be secured and would do more
TO advertise Montpelier as a live,
up.to date and progressive city than
the same amount Of money spent in
any other way.
These races would bring some of
the best horses in the inter-moun-
tain country to this town. In the
cities where the circuit races are
held regularly they are looked for
ward to as the great event of the
year and il means much to the towns,
not only in the amount of money
} that they receive directly from the
{ people who visit them, but from the
/ advertising, etc.
The citizens of Montpelier should
e spare no efforts in endeavoring tC
: secure the necessary funds to insure
i these races. The people of the sur
n rounding towns who spend ther
r money here, have a right to lool

The story of peonage in North Dakota
published by some daily papers is pretty
we'll disposed of on our inside pages. AS
the article there states it just makes Da
kota farmers laugh. The only hold a
farmer seems to have on tho harvest ln-
Dor here is from $3.50 TO $3.50 day and
board-and last week here it was stated
that in this vicinity not single thresh
ing crew had its full compliment of men
at these wages. The writer at this time
was compelled to keep his small boys
out OF school this week to shock barley
that is too heavy work for them to do,
because he could not hire man to do
1T. If there is any peonage it is the far
mers who are poems. But it is true that
both workmen and farmers are very care
less about bargains made in the Spring
for the summer and fall work. Those
bargains should invariably be made in
writing. then if there is a disagreement
the matter can be settled according to
contract. There is more trouble over
these verbal contracts than anything
else. But every laborer knows rs we'll
as any farmer that when he wants to
quit that he can quit and no one can
force him to continue.

~ARpWELL q THOMPSON
COOK. IS GREAT

The most famous voyager of the eigh-
teenth century, which was famous for
exploration, was Capt. Cook. The most
famous discoverer of the twentieth cen
tury, Just now, seems to be Dr.. Cook.
DR.. Cook has just returned from the
North Pole-at least this is what he says.
For several centuries men have been
looking for that spot and failed. DR..
Cook all by his lonesome has accomplish
ed the feat. But there are doubters.
Whether he will be able to prove hs,case
or not it is rather hard for unscientific
people to say. We think it doubtful
the proof. Though DR.. Cook clains to
have made daily observations whicn can
be verified by experts.
AS to leaving Gag and brass tube
at the spot, according to his own STORY
it was left on floating ice, which was
drifting fast enough to make some diff
ference in hls route in his retarn.
But take or leave this story-it is
colossal. II Dr.. Cook had gotten there
on the first of April instead Of the 2ast,
it would be still more colossal
If DR.. Cook went to. the p olehe GER
tainly did big thing; on the other hand
II he didn't, it is the biggest fake in the
history of the world. II DR.. Cook did
not 60 to the pole and the scientists can
not prove that he didn't-he has them
guessing for the rest of the time and We
have new problem to match '.who
wrote the plays of Shakespeare?' or
''where was Moses when the lights went
out?~
Theee seems also to be considerable
Jealousy shown in the discussion among
these same scientists already aud what
they say will be Of . greenish shade and
allowances will be made accordingly.
II Commander Peary is successful in
finding the pole, il he is like some Of his
friends who are talking about Cookie
will never be successful in finding any
traces Of Cook at that point. He will
not be looking for Cook. He will be
looking only for the pole and Peary.
Cook Is the biggest man on earth-for
while anywsy-and whether he was at
the pole or not, his name will 60 down in
history q one Of the greatest - -
in history.
Since writing the above comes the
news that Pesry has also mailed tho U.
s. Asg to the pole" Well, W hope b
has, and that hersaftsr, o. the only st.
traction that tho pols really had sos any,
ons hsviag been doubly Destroyed, II
