PEARY ONCE MORE GIVES
 LIE TO COOK
Wires Boston that Brooklyn Mans Story is "Simply
 Untrue"
FASTENING. TO NEW YORK
fspecia1 from United Press.l

(Spec1al rom On1teQ PreSS.) Boston, Sept. 14.-Reiterating that Dr. Cook has falsif1ed in his declara- tion that he has reached the Pole, but giving little further, details of his own dash, and emitting entirely any men, ton of Harry Whitney, Commander Peary to-day is quoted here in anoth- | CT message by wireless from Battle FIarbor, via Cape Ray, N. F. Replying to an interrogation as to what he thought of pr. Cooks claim. Mr., Peary replied that it was sim ply untrue" @ T have expressed myself clearly in my despatches, I think" he continued. "Dr. Cooks attempts to convince sci entists that he has been to the North Pole will be futile. It was pretty gem erally known that our expedition was in the Arctic regions, and that we expected to get back about this time, or a few weeks later. There was also B suspicion that we hoped to reach the Pole this year, and that we had previously passed all other northern records, knew the way north and had prepared carefully for what we hoped would be the final trip.''
 What were some of the chief inci- ed. t,
 ''It was less eventful than any of my previous trips. The actual reaching of the 90th parallel and being able to take observations at the Pole itself, was an! event of supreme importance to science: an event which quite nat urally makes us all feel an exultation which hope is pardonable; but there was less adventure less of the thrill ing and hair breadth escapes than in earlier days, before we had as thor ough a knowledge of the Arctic e. giOnS. as wey have now
 The chief danger was one which could not be guarded against. We had to take our chances and trust to Providence. Care in selection of men and dogs, to see that we had none lacking in strength, courage and en- durance; watchfulness over the condi- tion of our sledges and how they were packed, knowledge of the quantity and kind of food requiring and seeing that supplies were plentiful at cer- tain points s-all these tend to lessen what might be called preventable dan 9ers of starvation, freezing, and be- coming lost"

 Portland, Maine. Sept. 14.-That Commander Robert D. Peary intends to. let no grass grow under his feet fin the effort to reach New York before Dr. Cook was indicated to-day when message from the explorer was receiv- ed here. Peary had been invited by wire to stop over for a celebration of his trip in this city. His reply was:
 Cannot attend Portland celebra-

 Notwithstanding the determination of the explorer, an effort will be made to do him honor by a big gathering at the railroad depot should he pass through hero on his way to New York.

THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF BILLINGS COUNTY

The recent period of business
depression should teach a lesson to
those who insist upon hanging to
city life, and depending upon
fluctuating industrial conditions,
controlled by capitalistic specula-
tion largely.
While factories and shops were
shut down in central and eastern
states, men thrown out of employ
ment by the thousands and the
prospects seemed to make it un-
certain and forbidding in almost
every line Of human endeavor, the
great northwest dependent only
upon natural resurces of the earth,
has not been checked in prosperity
or Swallowed by doubt. There has
been no stringency in the money
market noticeable, no lack of en-
ployment among those who till the
soil in the northwest.
Why not resolve to put yourself
beyond want, and get the returns
for your labor which now goes to
others? Hundreds Of families have
gotten out of the rut by coming
west. You can do the same. Why
should man pay rent for farm
in the east, or high prices for
land there, when he can come west
and in two or three years become
prosperous and independent? This
fact has been demonstrated re-
peatedly, especially by those FORUM
ate enough to have settled in the
Golden Valley, the choicest farming
locality in North Dakota. Wake

This is the time of the year
when the railroads offer reduced
rates for trips of investigation.
Come and see for yourself. The
people Of the northwest and es-
pecially the Golden Valley want
you and will help you to establish
yourself.
What others have done you can
do. Learn of their achievements
and remember that such opportuni-
ties presented today in the north
west will not last forever. Pro-
crastination is the thief of time.
Land is steadily advancing in price

dollars Of loss to you. Now. is
the time to co., west to investi-

w. C. Gilbreath, commissioner
of agriculture of this state, is
planning an extensive exhibit of
North Dakota grains and grasses
to be made at the National Corn
Exposition in Omaha, December 6
to Is.
1t will be remembered that
North Dakota had an exhibit at the
St. Louis exposition which attract
ed international attention and was
a big advertisement for the state.
The exhibit which Mr.. Gilbreath
proposes to make at Omaha will be
something on the order of the one
made at St. Louis and as he has
applied early for space, North
Dakota will get one of the best
locations in the main exposition
building.
Besides the state exhibit, Mr..
Gilbreath has arranged to have
special classiflcations made and
the management Of the exposition
has set aside special premiums for
the northern small grains, which
will give individual grain growers
an opportunity to put North Dakota
wheat against that of the world
and against other growers wheat in
this state as we'll.
Last year twenty-five states had
exhibits, but North Dakota was
not represented, largely because of
the short time which was given to
prepare an exhibit, and North
Dakota would rather be absent
than not represented fright"

purchased the building formerly occu
pied by Shepherd and Company, 316
North Main Street, just north of the
big store OF Price and Company. He
paid for this building and fifty foot
front, $4,000 and today it is worth
20 per cent more, being in the center
of the best business block on Main
Street
Mr.. Boellner is now comfortably
housed in his own building and the
IngersoH Stationery, Book and Art
Company moved with him and have
the north side of the main salesroom.
i Mr.. Boel1ner has the south side OF
the building and has had his former
fixtures supplemented with new ones
The new premises present a most
splendid appearance. A new double
deck window has been put in, which is
distinctly new here. There is not an
other show window of this modern
kind in the entire Pecos Valley.
The rear end of the store is latticed

On account of the greatly increased

The firm in this line will be the Val

He is a specialist in fitting glasses

also an optician and engraver. The

Seems hard to realize that time

thinks back, five years resemble a
mere bagatelle.
But again this last five years of
the life of Roswell was an important

said they intended to enlarge their
premises and use the entire fifty
