we STIR say i"U nfair: n

Last week the NEws mentioned
the factthat the ore sales reports
published in the joplin papers
each Sunday were unfair to- the
Baxter Springs-Quapaw camp.
and we still maintain it. The
News-Herald Of Thursday even
ing made an effort to : intimate
that the figures as published.
were correct, but, operators in,
this camp tell us there. are sales
made which never appear in the
ore sales reports. This may not
be the fault of the Joplin papers.
1t may be the fault of the buyers
from whom the Joplin papers get
statements of ore sales, but the
fact remains, nevertheless, the
News-Herald to the CONTRARY.
Notwithstanding, that the Baxter
Springs-Quapaw camp is not get
ting its ore sales reports pub

do not pretend to say, but some-
thing is wrong. The following

ore report from that camp. Very

Trains from declaring that the
Joplin publications are Unfair,
but the intimation isthere never
theless. For the enlightenment
of Baxter Springs it can be said
that the ore statistics are secured
from the purchasers, and every
turn-in thus secured is printed.
If the buyers fail to make COM
plete report it is not because the
local papers are not DESTROYS of
having them do so; but there is
little doubt but that,the full pur-
chases, ASA rule, are turned in.
Other instances of this kind have
been called to the attention of
the Joplin papers, individual OPP
orators having claimed that their
turn-ins were not represented IN
full. .o3
Investigation in some of these
instances has proven that the OPP
orators desired a bigger printed
turn-in than was actually made.
By checking the figures given by
Individual companies with the

USE FOR THE NORTH POLE.
E. c. Pickering Suggests Heather
Bureau Station There.
TBy rslegraph to IN. tribune !

Boston. Sept 12--ProfessOr Edward c. Pick
erings director OF the Harvard College Observa-
tory, says that science does not care whether
Peary or Cook actually reached the pole ITSELF
and suggests using the North Pole as United
States Weather Bureau. Professor Pickering
says:
whether both Commander Peary and Dr.
Cook have actually stood on the spot that rep
resents the northern end Of the earth's axis Is
OF no real Importance to science.
with the instruments they carried the best
that could be expected Is that they have been
approximately at the North Pole or, say a mile
or so from the spot.
''The delicate observations and calculations
necessary to determine the exact position Of the
pole can never be made until a meteorological
station OF some sort is established near the
pole. and think the United States government
could best take full advantage Of the splendid
work OF these two explorers by sending up into
the North a floating meteorological station
aboard a ship equipped like Nansen's Fran that
could enter the Arctic ice back and in three
years drift across the region. while a body of
scientists on board make the observations and
collect the data possible.
More than this, 1 think that. now that the
remember that the United States government
could keep floating station Of the Weather
Bureau always in the polar region by sendins
two or three ships out at intervals Of a year OF
so. in order that one ship was drifting away
from the top of the world another would be an
preaching it,"

He will have two bases. one at MacGlurdO
Sound and the other. if he Is able to reach the
objective point in King Edward VII Land.
where he hopes TO accomplish geographical re-
search in addition 20 making an attempt to
reach the pole.
Captain Scott says that the main object Of the
expedition is to obtain for the British Empire
the honor OF reaching the South Pole The plan
includes the of three methods. sledge traction
by ponies. dogs and motor sledges. The last named
is development and bids fair TO become
the most promising means OF polar transport
It is said that if the motor sledges reach the
foot OF a glacier there can be little doubt that
they will ascend it. and greatly simplify the diff
ficulties OF the journey. They will at least. so
far as they can be used. relieve the ponies and
dogs of weights.
Captain Scott estimates that his expedition
will cost 100000. and he makes an appeal for
funds.

uyitles Those already here will also have these
opportunities and chance to learn higher branches
