IMPEACHMENT OF HIS VERAcITY
 NATURALLY ANNoYS DR. COOK
Pesry's Unfounded Accusations Have Disclosed Another Side to His Char acter.

On Board the Oscar II. by Wireless via Cape Race, N. F., Sept. 19.-Dr Cook appears to exercise great self re- | straint but can hardly repress a natura annoyance at impeachment of his yer
 acity, without proofs. He requested the Associated Press to make public the following: Commander Peary has | as yet given to the world no proof
 of his own case. My claim has been fully recognized by Denmark And by the king of Sweden: the president of
 the United States has wired me his coincidence: my claim has been ac- cepted by the International Bureau for Polar Research at Brussels: most of the geographical societies of Europe have sent me congratulations, which means faith and acceptance for the present and almost every explorer or note has come forward with warm and Friendly approval.
 Why Should Peary Make Himself a
 SeF-Appointed Dictator.
 "A specific record of my journey is accessible to all, and every one who reads can decide for himself When Peary publishes similar report. then our cases are parallel Why should Peary be allowed to make himself a self-appointed dictator of my affairs? In justice to himself, in justice to the world and to guard the honor of national prestige, he should be com uelled to prove his own case; he should publish at once a preliminary narrative to be compared with mine and let fair minded people ponder over the matter while the final records by which our case may eventually be proved are be- ing prepared.
 As Peary the Explorer Peary is a Hero.
 T know Peary the explorer. As such he IS hero in Arctic annals and de- serves the credit of a long and hard record. To Peary the explorer I am still willing to tip my hat, but Peary's unfounded accusations have disclosed another side to his character which will never be forgotten
 When Peary wired that he had nail ed the stars and stripes to the pole l immediately sent congratulations. II then believed as I do now that his work over new route far east of my line of travel was a new conouess of great importance, and. of course that his positions at the pole would supplement my work with valuable data. There is room enough and honor enough for two American flags at the pOle.''

THE START IN OUR CONTEST
MUCH BETTER THAN EXPECTED
Many Young Ladies Have Commenced Work The Gazete
$1,000 Popularity Contest and Considerable Inter.
est Is Shown from the Very First

this week, we neglected changing
the date on the free ballot, pub
lished in the ad on another page,
but have republished it on our first
page with the date corrected. Be
sure to send in the right one as the
one in the ad. WILL NOT COUNT.
Remember that every new SUBJ
scriber you get for The Gazette
gives you 1000 votes toward the pia-
no and 500 votes will be given for
each renewal. A complete scale Of
votes and all rules will be found in
the display advertisement found in
this issue.
Many of the merchants have join
ed with US in this contest and will
give Is votes with each $1.O0 cash
purchase at their stores. You not
only get as much for your money as
formerly, but you may in this way
assist your candidate in winning
one or more valuable prizes.
A sos sewing machine will also be
awarded at the close of the contest
to the lady receiving the largest
number of merchants coupons dur
ing the contest. No matter if she
has received the $40 to begiven away
next week. or one of the other prizes
at the close of the contest, it does
not prohibit her getting the machine
also. providing she has the greatest
number of merchants coupons.
These tickets really count double, as
they count on this special CONNER
cial prize" and also on the grand
prize on Oct. 9th.
If you are really interested in any
lady friend, if she is not already on
our list of candidates, cut the ncmi-
nation blank from this issue and
either mail or bring it to this office
and in this way help her "get into
the game" early and stand a better
show at the close of the contest.

The second week of the race in
our popularity contest has started
off better than we had hoped for.
More nominations are coming in by
every mail and the coupons clipped
from the columns of The Gazette
seem to be in demand. to say moth
ing of the new subscriptions and re-
newals we are receiving each day.
AS all know by this time, the first
prize is to be given away next week
and all votes to be counted must be
in the ballot box in this office by
o'clock Monday night. The lady
having the greatest number of votes
at this time will secure the EARLY
Bird prize Of $40 in gold. This in
cludes votes of all kinds-those
clipped from the columns of this
paper, merchants coupons and votes
received on subscription. Do not
think, as many seem to, that these
votes will not count on the piano if
you win this prize. This is simply
to get everyone interested at the
very start and, whether you win or
not at this time, the votes will count
again, thus giving you a chance to
win two prizes instead of one.
Although the lady securing the
second largest vote at this time will
get no money prize, she will get 10000
free votes as reward for her labor.
The third highest will receive $500
free votes, while the fourth is also
remembered by an additional 5000
votes. This not only makes it worth
your while to work for this prize,
but the additional votes may be just
what you need to win the grand
prize on October 9th.
This week we received several
nomination blanks for ladies already
nominated but did not, in some in
stances, receive the free ballot cou-
pons published in the same paper.
Remember it is the free ballots that
count and not the other blank after
the lady is first nominated.

The Court Reporter.

Judge Olsen has made the usua
order apportioning the salary of the
court reporter among the severa
counties and as a result we have
learned two things. First. thai
whereas, several years ago Redwood
paid the largest proportion, now we
are among the least. Either litiga.
ton has fallen off here or the other
counties have increased theirs
Second, we are informed that the
office doesn't amount to much, any.
way, and that anyone with com.
mon school education and six months
study in business or commercial
college can hold down the job.
This last is like what Artimus
Ward once said about another as.
sertion: 1T is important, if true. -
AS matter of fact one has to have
a peculiar fitness for the work to
even make a fair stenographer, and
some might study six years and new
er be able to take ordinary dictation.
In the first place, to make even a
moderately good court reporter one
must be much more than an average
good stenographer. 1t is a very re-
sponsible and important office to fill.
One must be, in the first place a
uery rapid shorthand writer; other
wise, the work is delayed and days
wasted while the reporter is trying
to keep up with proceedings. An
extra $40 per day paid to rapid
reporter is good investment. Then
the reporter must be accurate. AS
a rule, he has the only record kept
and change of a single word would
often mean loss or gain Of hum
dreds of dollars.
Reporter Eckstein has both quail
ties of speed and accuracy. The
proceedings are never delayed mo-
ment and every syllable of the pro-
ceedings are always there when
called for. His compensation, on
the other hand, is not more than
that paid an average bank clerk.
Compare the Importance of the DO
sition with that Of register of deeds
or clerk of court in one of our coun-
ties. Where there are scores in
every county equally capable with
those in Office, this district could
hardly show up..a reporter who could
equal Mr.. Eckstein in his. And yet
his average pay is less than theirs.
The Gazette is of the opinion that a
change should be made as to COM
pensation for this office and that the
official should be put on salary
sufficient to pay him without fees,
and that fees should be reduced and
those paid should go to the county.
But it does not think that Mr., Eek
stein is overpaid.

Business Changes.

Owing to a press of official notices,
mention was not made of
a couple of business changes last
week. One. the sale of the dairy
business of Joseph Tyson to Edwin
Wells, and the other of the transfer
Of the Redwood Steam Laundry
from Glenn Lauterbach to a Mr..
Johnson, who is coming soon to take
charge of the new venture,
Mr.. Tyson has built up thor
oughly modern and up-to-date dairy
on his farm, and one that cannot be
surpassed in any city of 10000 in
the state. 1t has involved very hard
work and the expenditure of large
sum of money to get the business to
point where it has been credit
both to Mr.. Tyson and the commun-
ity. 1t is with credit that we shall
miss him at the head of this enter
prise. 1t has seemed to need one Of
his peculiar force and determina-
ton to make good at this business,
and Mr.. Wells will need to be a
good dairyman to keep the plant and
stock up to the efficiency it has at
tanned under the present manage
ment. 1t is understood that the
transfer will not take place until
later in the season. Mr.. Wells has
the reputation of being a thorough
manager and has had considerable
experience generally in the milk
business.
The laundry was the first business
venture Of his own that Mr.. Lauter-
bach has attempted. He is one of
the most popular young men in
Redwood Falls and the best wishes
of our citizens will attend him what
ever he may decide to take up after
he has closed connection with his
business on Mill street. In the two
years that Glenn has been at the head
of this Institution it has been grow
ing in popularity and he has more
than realized his fondest hopes.
Mr.. Johnson has the best wishes of
all and is welcomed to our little CITY.
Chas. lett returned from Duluth
Saturday.
A travelling man was watching the
clean up man" removing the deb
ris from Washington Ave. the other
day. He turned to the proprietor
of one of the stores and said to him:
do you know Redwood Falls is
known among travelling men as the
cleanest little city in Minnesota? L
am not giving you taffy but it is a
fact that as soon as your town is
mentioned, if a travelling man is
around he always comes out with a
boost for this place." Not a bad
reputation to have either.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1909-08-04

WHY NOT THE BOOSTING HABIT?
Do you know there's lots of people
Sitting round most every town

OIIlulS IOullu lIlOSl every lOWn
Growing like a broody chicken,
Knocking every good thing down.
Don't be that kind of cattle,
Cause they amt no good on earth,
But just be booster rooster,
Crow an boost for all you're worth.
If your town needs boostin', boost her,
Don't hold back and wait to see
If some other fellow is wlin'.
Sail right in, this countrys free
No ones got mortgage on it,
It's just yours as much as his;
If your town is shy of boosters,
You get in the boostin' biz
If things don't seem to suit you
An the world seems kinder wrong
What's the matter with a boostin
Just to help the thing along,
Cause if things should stop again,
We'd be in sorry plight.
You just keep the horn BLOWN,
Boost her up with all your might.
If you see some fellow tryin'
For to make some project go,
An you can't boost it up trife,
That's your cue to let him know
That you're not goin' to knock it,
Just because it amt your shout,
But you are going to boost little
Because he's got the best thing out.

A Ride to Death.


 Last Monday at noon conductor w. w. Sandidge and brakeman Harry Barber met their death by the failure of the brakes to work on a runaway car out of Kingman yards. The crew of the 'local' were switching out some cars and one of the cars was shunted to the main line, where It was expected to be stopped readily. IT, stead the brakes failed to work, . though both brakeman and conductor were trying their best to apply ther. As the car struck the heavy grade south of town the car gained speed until it was soon running at rate of sixty miles an hour. The operator at McConnico was notified and he turned the runaway car onto the Chloride line. It took the first switch all right, but at the second switch it left the track and was smashed to splinters. The brakeman jumped as the car left the rails and was so badly shaken up that he was unconscious several hours Conductor Sandidge jumped or was thrown from the car and struck in the middle of the track. He was uncoI- scious when the operator reached him and it was thought that he was dea6. Dr. Whiteside was taken at once to McConnico on special and found the two men in bad way. Sandidge was found to be dying, his skull being fractured, both legs broken, and con- tusions all over the body. The bones in one of his ankles were driven through the flesh. Dr. Cowie was taken to McConnico and the two doctors did everything possible for the injured men. Their wounds were dressed and they were sent to Los Angeles on a special train. Sandidge died at Goffs, but Barber has good chance to re- cover.
 That Kingman is growing in impor- tance is shown by the improvements of business men all along the line. The City Ice Plant is putting in greater ice capacity, their machine being in- creased over two tons in daily capa- city; the additions to the meat mar kets, Mr. George putting in one of the most uptodate cold storage plant, and Ground and Crozier putting in large cold storage room; an electrical re- pair shop; wholesale wagon and car riage shop; second hand store; and many other accessions to the business of the town. The subject for the evening preach ing services, Sunday, May 9th, at the M. E. church is, The Angel in the Flame. A cordial welcome to all.

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1909-10-30

How to accomplish the greatest pos
sible good for the greatest possible
number is problem that concerns
library trustees and librarians, as well
as other classes of public officials.
The point has been made by users of
the Rock Island public library that
the present arrangement does not
meet local conditions as well as it is
possible to meet them and some
changes of an important nature are
likely TO receive consideration at the
hands of the board of trustees at an
early cate.
Rock Island has one of the most
complete libraries in one of the most
substantial and best appointed build
ings IF any city of its size in the coun-
try. There are $1,000 volumes, COM
pletely and conveniently classified, in
charge of a most competent corps If
Librarians, occupying a building which
has cost, all told, 100000. AS is gen
orally known, the erection of the
building eight years ago was made
possible through the generosity of
Frederick Weyerhaeuser of st. Paul,
formerly of this city. Mr. Weyer-
haeuSer loaned the library board $780,
GOO, which, with an outright donation
Of over $4,000, gifts amounting TO
about $4,000, and about $4,000 col
lected on the special library tax be-
fore the work was done, made up the
total amount expended in buying the
site and erecting and equipping the
building. Of the $4,000 borrowed
the people by special tax have now
repaid all, the last $4,000 coming out
OF the revenues of last year when the
last special tax was collected. From
now on the library viii be maintained
by the regular tax.
Has Been Bound by Economy
While the debt was being lifted the
library board has felt constrained to
avoid any considerable changes or i'm
prov5ments. Now, however, it may
be possible to take some steps to bet
ter meet the needs of the public.
Miss Gale the librarian, has from
time to time called attention to the
benefits that would be experienced
