AHEAD OF PEARY
Jealousy Is Apparent Between Rival

Generous Words for Peary-HOpes
Peary Found His Records But Is
Doubtful Because of Drifting Ice.
(By Charles p. Stewart, copyrigh

(By Charles p. Stewart, copyright
1909 by the United Press Assn.)
Copenhagen, Sept. 7.-"Bully for
Peary," this was the first exclamation
him dispatches from Commander
Peary TO United Press announcing his
successful quest for the north pole.
Cook said: There can be no doubt
in the mind of any one who knows
Peary but that the message came
from him. The wording makes me
sure he reached the pole. 1t sounds
so like Peary and l am mighty glad
Peary has been successful for he is
one of the bravest, most perservering
men who ever went north. He de-
serves all the honor that has come
to him, in addition. l am certain his
reports will corroborate the data
have collected. OF course it would be
hypocritical in me to attempt to con-
zeal the fact that l am delighted to
have been able to plant the American
flag at the pole the year before
Peary reached the pole.''
Despite his generous tribute it is OBJ
vious Peary's messages have nettled
Cook He stated that owing to his
desiresto rejoin his wife and children
he may sail for New York from Ant
werp within the week. 1t is generally
believed Cook deems it advisable to
retain the strategic advantage he al
ready has and to get back to New
York ahead of Peary.

.0NLY HALF THE GRAIN CROP

Owing to the Independent spirit
manifested by the grain growers of
this section Of Oregon, it is estimat-
ed that not more than fifty per cent
of the 1909 crop has changed hands.
Indeed there are some. who are in a
position to know, who declare that
more than half the crop is still in the
hands of the producers.
With the present market standing
at IS cents for club and SO for blue
stem, those growers who have held
thus far are showing little DISPOSE

that he had reached the north pole.

That is good news. l hope Peary
did get to the pole. His observations
and report on that region will con-
firm mine"
Asked if there was any probability
of Peary's having found the tube con-
tanning his records, DR.. Cook replied:
81 hope so, but that is doubtful IN
account of the drift Commando
Peary would have reached the pole
this year. Probably while 1 was in
the Arctic region last year his route
was several hundred miles east of
mine. We are rivals of course. but
the pole is good enough for two"

RURAL DISTRICTS
SHOULD WAIT
DON'T MAKE LEVIES
UNTIL JANUARY
County Court Will Raise County
School Levy and So Local Levies
Should Not be Made Until Later
Higher County Levy Is Equitable.

School district officers who do not
wish to burden themselves and the
other residents of their districts with
double taxation will take care not
to call meetings for special tax ievies
until after the county court makes its
levy in January. A very few dist
riots have already made this mistake
and it is reported that others are pre-
pairing to follow in their footsteps.
1t will be remembered that last year
the county court was petitioned to
increase the county levy for school
purposes in order to get more equit-
able school tax, since all the property
in the county would be compelled to
bear portion of the burden of sup
porting the schools. The court re-
fused to make the increased levy last
year for the reason that many of the
districts in the county had already
made their special levies and to make
the increase would be to double the
burden of the taxpayers in those dis
tricts. 1t was agreed, however, that
the increase prayed for should be
made this year.
The court will make the levy at Its
January meeting which will be con-
vened the first Wednesday in that
month.
Another good reason for not maxi
ing special levies now is the fact that
the property valuation has not been
announced and any levy based on last
years valuation will be in excess of
the actual needs of the district. This
is due to the fact that this years val
uation is in excess of that of last
year
