JUST|F|ES CONDUCT
IN MATTER
COMMANDER pEARy TELLS WHY
HE REFUSED TO TAKE COOKS
INSTRUMENTS ABOARD.

| Portland. Me. Sept. est was
/ learned tonight from a source Close
/ t" Commander Peary that the COM
/ mander justifies his action in refusing
! To allow DIR. Cooks instruments or rec
I ords on board the Roosevelt on tho
/ theory that he had been aware for
| some time of DIR. Cooks intention tn
| claim the discovery of the north pole
and that Peary therefore would sane
/ tion nothing to aid this project
Peary's forthcoming statement con-
! corning Cook, it was learned will
charge that Cook cannot produce shoes,
sledgcs or other equipment which will
| show the wear and tear that comes
! from travel over the Arctic ice. This
Is the first intimation OF any specific
evidence that the commander will pro-
duce, although he has said he has evil
dence enough To discredit DR.. Cook.
II seems evident that Peary wants
to Issue his statement in the near fu-
ture, especially since the arrival Of
Harry Whitney at Indian Harbor
While he declared that Whitney has
no part In the controversy, Com
mander Peary has received messages
concerning Whitney's progress.
The Roosevelt arrived unexpectedly
today at Eagle island, Commander
Peary's home, to leave Peary's per
sonai belongings and to receive sup
Elementary orders.
After unloading Peary's belongings
which filled four or five small boats,
the Roosevelt had steam up tonight
ready to sail for New York.
Conference.
Commander Peary will go to Bar
Harbor tomorrow for n conference
with General Thomas III. Hubbard
president Of the Peary Arctic club. He
win remain there until Tuesday night
possibly later, and ii Is there that he
viii issue the formal Statement. attack
ing DR.. Cook.
Although all hands on board the
Roosevelt were instructed not to talk
about the Cook controversy, Mat Hen
son. the negro cook who was with
Peary In his dash north. said that he
talked with every Eskimo who went
up with Cook and knew every one of
them, but was not at liberty to reveal
what he had learned Henson said,
however, that Cook had practically no
experience when he went north: that
he knew nothing about building
sledges and was absolutely inexperi-
enced in driving Eskimp dogs.
Captain Bartlett of the Roosevelt
seems much perturbed over the re
ports that he entertained any i'll feel
ing because Peary took Henson on the
asst dash and left Bartlett behind.
Il had no idea of going to the pole"
says Bartlett in assigned statement to-
night. Il went mp there to help the
commander in every way I could ac-
cording 10 his orders, but it Is an
absolute lie to say that | felt bad
about not going to the pole"
There is considerable doubt about
the Roosevelt taking any part In any
naval paradendnrIng the Hudson Full
ton celebration. even though she should
arrive in New York in time. All that
Captain Bartlett would say concerning
this was: "a
If the Roosevelt is in the parade |
win be on the bridge"
The Roosevelt with favorable
weather should arrive In New York
Tuesday night ar Wednesday.

Tells of Big Crops

'The farmers of Camas Prairie are
this year harvesting the greatest crop
in the history of Idaho county," said
|. {. Hattabaugh, the well known
implement dealer of this city to the
Lewiston Tribune. Mr.. Hattabaugh
was at Lewiston the first of the week
ON his way to the irrigation congress
at Spokane.
"The haying is practically complet-
ed and the grain harvest well inaugur-
ated in all sections. The yield is not
only particularly heavy but an excel
lent quality is being secured and with
larger acreage than ever before cul-
tivated in the country, the record pro-
duction will be secured this season.
"We have everything but harvest
labor, continued Mr.. Hattabaugh,
"and while the farmers have been
able to keep their machinery moving
up to this time, it is almost impossible
to secure help in the upper country
and the laborers are getting about
their own prices. AS the harvest pro-
crosses and more machines are placed
in operation it is feared this condition
will become even more serious.
''The result of the big yields and
the good prices for grains, cattle, hogs,
sheep and in fact everything the far
mer has to sell, has made business in
the prairie country particularly good
and Idaho County merchants have
right to expect the best season in
their experience. The splendid crops
have brought visitors from all sections
of the United States and number of
real estate transfers have been report
ed"
An estimate by the grain men made
on Camas Prairie crops places the av-
erage yield of wheat at 40 bushels,
barley at 40 to 65 bushels and oats
from 65 to 80. 1t is estimated the
grain yield of the county will exceed
90 bushels to the acre.

Post Office at Fem

F. b. Tharp, merchant Of Fenn
was in the city on business Tuesday
He has been appointed postmaster Of
the new post Office there which is te
be known as Tharp. An effort is
being made to change the name of the
town from Fem to Tharp, also. Ii
is quite probable that the post office
would have been designated as Fem
had it not been for the existence of a
post Office in Shoshone county by the
name of Fern. The postal authorities
held that owing to the great similar
ity in the names mail for one
or the other of the places might
not be properly delivered.
Mr.. Tharp states that the little town
is growing nicely and that it's going
to be an ideal place to live.

BOOSTS OUR CITY

HAVE 10000 PEOPLE IN 1874
Says Price of Land viii IN
crease

MIR. and Mrs. Walter F. Burns, Of
New York, and DR.. Frederick J.
Gottlieb, Of Berlin and New York.
were visitors in the city this week.
The party is making a tour of the
western states, seeing the country,
visiting friends and looking
after some affairs of bust
ness. Messrs. Burns and Gottlieb
are capitalists and are interested in a
number of townsite and water power
propositions over the country. They
are prominently identified with Spo-
kane projects. From here they went
to Burns, Oregon, where final action
upon the purchase of 10000 acres of
land awaits their coming.
'Grangeville was not included in
our original itinerary" said Mr..
Burns. "a friend in Lewiston urged
us to see Grangeville and the Camas
Prairie country before continuing our
journey westward, assuring us that we
would be well repaid for the time
spent. And right now let me say
that we have never met with more
hospitable, welcoming people than
here in Grangeville and as for my
opinion Of the city and the surround
ing country | consider it the most
beautiful locality | have ever seen.
This town of Grangeville is some
thing to be proud of. | know but
little Of its past other than that its
growth and progress has been affiliated
with hard work which has brought
and will bring ample reward. Its
future will be unusually bright, |
think. In every walk of life instan-
ces ofprogress and prosperity will be
realized. a stranger in the city can
logically form no other opinion and to
my mind there is ground for no pre-
diction but an optimistic one. Evi-
dence of great future are every
where in the city and | firmly believe
that Grangeville will have popula-
ton of 10000 or more with five
years.
"Camas Prairie land appeals to me
as remarkably rich and productive
and in short time will be selling at
500 per acre. The fields of ripening
grain present a fine view to the new
conner and all visitors to this section
at this time of the year are sure to be
favorably impressed within the coun-
try.
''The new hotel, The Imperial, is
magnificent and its worth to the city
cannot be overestimated. Grange
might have spent hundreds and hun
dreds of dollars in "booster" litera-
ture and the different modes of adver-
tising but never could the results be
obtained that this modern hostelry
will bring. Accommodations here
are as good as any west Of Chicago
Everything is complete and comfort
able and the place is worthy the sup
port of every citizen Of the county"

|ctockmen Will Change From
Cattle to Sheep Raising

Idaho county, which has long beer
known as one of the greatest cattle
countries in the state, ranking second
I'VE believe, will soon lose this distinc-
tion and where bessie used to roam
the hill will now be Mary's Little
lambs. A company has been organic
ed and Incorporated by a number Of
prominent cattlemen, chief among
them being 0. b. Garfield, r. P.
Nash and E. G. Wyatt of the Salmon
river country and Asa Jones of Cot
tonwood, the Bales-Jones Company
Of Grangeville from the prairie, to
be known as the Salmon River Live
Stock Association.
The company, which was incorpor-
ated June 20 with $4,000 capital
stock is made up Of the large stock
men of the county, the three incorpor-
ators being o. b. Garfield, of Joseph,
Bales-Jones, Of Grangeville and r.
P Nash of Joseph. Associated with
these gentlemen in the enterprise are
Asa Jones of Cottonwood, f. G..

field.
The company will take over all the
cattle Of its members and embark in
the sheep business, between 5000 and
10000 sheep will we shipped in and
put in the range within the next
sixty days. The company will con-
troll in the neighborhood of 10000
acres Of range and the discontinuance
Of cattle raising by these men will
mark the beginning Of the end Of the
cattle industry in the county. OF
course there are several other large
independent stOckmen and number
Of smaller ones who are not effected

river is known as an ideal cattle coun-

Of sheep on account Of the mild eli
