PEARY SAYS TO
| NOT BELIEVE COOK
las Proof That Cook Was Not Out
of Sight of Land

NEW YORK. espt. s.-The United
Press association today received a
message from Commander Peary.
sent from Indian Harbor. via Cape
Ray. in which he states: "Dr. Cooks
story should not be taken too serI-
ously, as the two Eskimos who ae-
companied him say that he went no
distance north and was not out Of
sight of land, and other men OF the
same tribe corroborate this state
ment."
Angry When shown Statement.
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Sept. s.
When DR.. Cook was shown the
statement of Peary this morning,
questioning his veracity, DR.. Cook
said: IN not deEnean myself by
answering Peary's charges until ac-
cusation is made on scientific data"
DR.. Cook refused to say anything
more, but showed very plainly that
he was angry. The message from
Peary created a great sensation here.
and already lines are sharply drawn
sohwing iIl-feeling between Cook and
Peary supporters.
Plans Banquet.
NEW YORK, Sept. S.-The Geo.
graphical society is planning a bril-
liant banquet for next winter for the
two north pole diseoverers-Co
and Peary-and the British explorer
who penetrated farthest south in
seeking the south pOle-Lieutenant
Shackleton-as the star figures.
DR.. o. H. Tittman. head of the
United states coast and geodetic sur
vey. is on his way to England bear
ing the invitation to Cook and Shack
Teton. He will be advised to include
Peary in the banquet program.
Acting Superintendent Frank E.
Perkins, of the coast and geodetie
survey, declared today that the dual
discovery of the north pole strength
ems the claims of each explorer.
Commander Peary went equipped
with all modern instruments with
which TO record his observations and
demonstrate the truth of his discoy-
cry, said Mr. Perkins The ques-
ton now resolves itself into one of
priority. and Commander Peary and
DR.. Cook will doubtless fight that out
between themselves. According TO
DIR. Cook he discovered the pole be-
fore Peary started That detracts
nothing from Peary's honor and
glory. Each explorer has fought his
battles without the aid of the OBJ
seryations of the other. There is
honor enough for both.
Peary's achievement was the prin-
cipal topic of discussion in the navy
department.

This production breaks all former records
made by the state. The new wealth pro-
ducing capacity of South Dakota has
grown about IS per cent in a single year.
The increase in the value OF the states
production since 1905 has been about
So 900, 1000
With the substantial increase shown year
by year in the production of new wealth
in the state, it will not be long until the
annual production of South Dakota will
reach $3.50. 900, OOO, which is not doing so bad
for a young state with an estimates popu-
lation OF only about $4,000.
The year 1909 makes the eleventh one
that South Dakota has occupied the proud
position Of leading all the states of the
union in the percapita production of new
wealth.
No better evidence Of the great pros
perity being enjoyed by the people Of
south Dakota is furnished than the in
crease year by year in the deposits Of
state and national banks. These show
that in 1898 the aggregate deposits were
$40. 1O4,1S5.4S, while the present deposits
in the state and national banks aggregate
$4,000, 900. During that period the de-
posits have increased as much as $ll,-
100000 in a single year.
Something OF the development OF the
state is shown by the official figures Of
state valuations as returned by the assess
ment boards OF the various counties dur
ing the last nine years. The valuation in
1900 was 3l72, 5,Os5. This now has
grown to about 5000, 900, 600.
1t is conceded that the assessed values
represent only one-fourth OF the real
value. Therefore. multiplying the as.
sessed value for 1903 by four the real
value Of the taxable property in South
Dakota reaches 5 1900, 900. 600. which. II
must be conceded. is a remarkable show

The construction of three lines OF rail-

GLOOM PREVAILS
 IN SHELTER CITY

DOUGLAS, Sept. 16.-(Special) )-
 There was an atmospheric dis turbance especially noticeable about the various bulletin boards on c av- enue last night. An air of depression was met by an air of unbelief and both were finally supplanted by an air of gloom. There was trouble in the air. There was dissatisfaction with the telegraph companies, the telephone companies, the Douglas baseball team and everything else imaginable. And the cause of it all was an alleged telegram from Cana nea announcing an astounding and astonishing defeat of the Demons by the Fl Paso White Sox
 The local fans were in suspense ! all yesterday afternoon and all the early evening to learn how badly the locals had walloped their White Sox victims Finally came the telegram which bore figures which were not understandable and, beyond the be. lief. of mere mortal. The mere de. feat of the Douglas Demons would not have been So incomprehensible, but when it was announced that the Fl Paso outfit had corraled F runs from seven hits and seven errors the fans simply could not figure il out Hence the unbelief And the announcement that Douglas hac scored only one run on five hts while seventeen runs were taIliec against them was gloom producer This gloom was made thicker wher , it was said that Clifford had beer put in to succeed Kane.

DAINTY LITTLE GIRL MASCOT.
Pretty Margaret Hall Occupies That Distinguished Position In the
 Maine Legislature.

Little Miss Margaret Hall, aged sev. en. the daughter of Representative Willis B. Hall of Caribou, is the mas cot of the Maine legislature, says the Boston Globe. Of the many boys and girls that fit in and out of the big stone building where stern lawmakers are busy framing the statutes, she IS the most observed. partly from her always radiant smile. her cute sayings and her rollicking disposition.
 Miss Margaret does nothing all day but enjoy herself, and in this pastime she finds plenty of people to assist her. Now and then some legislator, in leisure moment, will sit down and tell the. bright-eyed little miss some story or anec6ote that seems to de- light her heart.
 When the men go to this. big hall for their first meeting, they reach into a little box and take out slip of paper with a number on it. It is the number of the desk they are to occu-' py during the legislative session. When it came Representative Halls turn to take number out of the box for his seat, he let Margaret draw it for him, and. as it accidentally hap pened, she picked out one of the best in the hall. All the other men saw her as she sat on her paISa's shoulder, and it made. them ,anil. and clap their hands
 She has, already made the acquaiint, ance of many of the lawmakers and public officials about the state house, and they look for her coming regu- larly as me of the welcome events of the day.
 In the state house there is an ele. .vator and the man who runs it was . formerly soldier in the civil war. He is very fond of little girls. and he has told her a number of thrilling tales about the war. So interested does she become that she often rides up and down in the elevator for half-hour or so at a time. Margaret and the ele' !. yator man are now great chums.
