POLAR CONTROVERSY.

Another week has rolled by,
during which time the magnificent
accomplishment Of the discovery Of
the North Pole by two of our fell
low countrymen has been smother
ed by an ill-tempered row over the
merits and veracity of the respec-
tive explorers.
Peary has branded Cook as al
imposter and says he can prove it..
Cook likewise states that he will
offer convincing proof that he has
been at the Pole, and his support
ers charge Peary with having stolen
Cooks stores in Greenland. Each
has his supporters, and these are
waging the controversy hot and
heavy.
1t is unfortunate that such a
glorious achievement should be
clouded by this mud singing. Both
explorers are OH their way to New
York, where they will arrive some
time next week. 1t is to be hoped
that when their reports are exam
ined by experts, it will be found
that both men have reached the
Pole.
In the meantime it would dis
play much more sound sense on the
part of Peary if he would cease to
give vent to his ire in wrathful
kilograms, and wait to offer his tes-
timony upon his return.
In any event, the real first dis
coverer of the North Pole is an
American, whether his name be
Cook or Peary, and after the un-
pleasant discussion, in which the
whole world is now participating,
has blown over, Uncle Sam may
feel proud that one or two of his
sons have been the first of long
line of explorers from many nations
to plant their flag at the North
Pole
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1909-09-16
WHAT THEN 4?

While gold bricks and other mis-
siles are being thrown at each other
by rival explorers, and their respect
i've partisans are using heated lang
uage, let us all remember with
pardonable pride that both Cook
and Peary are Americans.-Ex.
That is true, and we will be proud
Of them if they let us, but if the
present controversy continues we
may yet be sorry that the honor of
discovering the North Pole was not
attained by native of some other
country. Peary says Cook is liar,
and Cooks friends say they are
prepared to Prove that Peary is a
thief. Suppose they both prove
their assertions

The Ministerial Association of
Bloomsbury and vicinity held its
first meeting of the year i'll the
Methodist Church last Monday
morning.
Among other meters discussed,
a resolution was drawn up to be
sent to the Fair Association as fol-
lows:
Whereas, an honest effort has
been made to give the people of
Columbia County clean respect
able Fair by the elimination of all
gambling devices and the prohibit
ing of the sale of all liquors and
similar substances.
Therefore, Be it resolved, by the
Ministerial Association of Blooms
burg and vicinity, That we COM
mend the officers of the Columbia
County Fair Association and more
especially the secretary Of privi-
leges for their vigorous campaign
for better things and most earnestly
request them to eliminate one other
form of evil and indecency, that ol
dancing girls. Should this be done
we are confident that no financial
loss would be entailed upon the
association. :"
The election Of officers for the
coming year resulted in Rev. +
r. Hickman being elected presi
dent, Rev. S. c. Dickson, vice
president and Rev. L. B. Bailey
secretary and treasurer.
The Berwick Ministerial Asso
citation likewise passed a simila
resolution on Monday to be HANDED

$4,000 Acres of State Forests
Some Of 1t vers Valuable, and Others will
be Made OF Use

The amount Of land now owned
by the State for forestry purposes
and under control OF the State For
estry Commission is 925,ooo acres
and it is constantly being added to
by Commissioner Conklin. Last
week Commissioner Conklin pur-
chased ten thousand acres in Chap
man township, Clinton county, and
in Lumber township, Cameron Co.
All of this land was stripped
of course, but the State will give it
fire protection and plant new forests
SO that in time it will be very valu-
able. The cost TO the State was
SI.5o an acre.
A man in Tioga county offered
the State 3o2 acres of stripped for
est land at 90 cents per acre, to be
delivered at once or later to the
custody of the State.
Reports from some of the forestry
school graduates who have beer
through the State during the sum
mer, especially on the great Sever
Mountain reserve between Milroy
and Bellefonte, state that all the
land will reproduce good timber
and the State will, be richer by 80,
900 acres of fine timber land. Their,
is now on the tract several millioi
feet of good pine timber whicl
should be cut at once and market
ed. This timber is yellow an,
white pine, which is considere,
very valuable in Pennsylvania, a
the supply is exceedingly scarce.

nearly all died, and most of the

nearly the whole of the west end of
the church and Parish House are
covered. 1t is now at its best, and
presents a beautiful sight.

either fresh; a junior, soph., or

IN the first, second or fourth reader.
To-day he wears canvas shoes and

went barefoot in September, and
carried stone-bruise on his heel
and a sawed-off cant-hook handle
for baseball bat.

"What changes have taken place

1907 the industrial plants of Pitts
burg alone had a payroll of a mil
hon dollars a day, and even now,
in times of peace, it's lazy Con-
gress that does not appropriate two
millions a day to run the Govern
mont.
