Answering the above In the order
of the Telegram's statements, We are
pleased to inform the Telegram that
Ogden has increased its offer from
S25o,O0O to over 100000 and is ready.
II found necessary, to build million
dollar capitol. That amount OF
money, expended without graft, would
give to Utah one of the finest capitols
in the United States. Buildings are
not to be measured by dollars only.
When the Telegram talks of the cost
of Salt Lakes City and County build
Ing, 1t should bear In mind that half
that structure is graft When Ogden
speaks Of q million-dollar ejifice for
the state of Utah, Ogden means the
very best capitol that sum of money
so large can erect.
That story Of how lightly the bur-
den OF one-mill tax will rest on a
single taxpayer. Is the old. old song
OF the siren-it Is a deception. The
man who can argue you out Of 81 by
proving that 81 is not as large as
$1,000. can get your $1,o00-if you
give him time. A tax Of one mill
would be small tax IL that were the
end OF taxation in Utah, but this in
sidlous growth of taxation has been
smiled at in this state until we are
suddenly reminded that the one mill
has grown to thirty mills, and now the
smile has turned to a frown. There
never has been tax OF that kind I'M
posed without the excuse being offer
ed that the additional tax will hurt
no one.
The Telegram refers to the gener.
osity OF Salt Lake in It's treatment OF
country Utah. How about the Agri-
cultural College at Logan? Salt
Lakes greed was so Unsuitable that
the people OF the capital sought to
deprive Logan Of one OF Its sustaining
walls.
AS to Salt Lake paying big per
centage Of money for the schools or
country Utah, country Utah every day
and month OF the year pours a stream
of wealth into the lap of Salt Lake
far beyond any return which the
country receives.

New York. Sept. 21.--Dr Frederick
A. Cook, fresh from receiving royal
honors in Denmark as discoverer of
the north pole, was taken today from
the Danish steamship Oscar H., and
escorted to Brooklyn by q demonstra-
tion of honor such as few Americans
returning to their native shores have
been accorded.
A delegation of more than 1000
friends went down the bay on the
steamer Grand Republic and welcom-
ed the explorer at quarantine. Mrs.
Cook and the children, on a special
tug. had reached the Oscar II. ahead
of the larger vessel, and Mrs. Cook
was the first to greet her husband,
whom she had not seen for more than
two years and for whose safety she
had often trembled.

Metropolis Filling With Hud"
SOn.FuItOn Visitors.
HOTELS WILL BE OVERTAXED.
Many of Them Are Already Crowd
ed and Turning People Away.
A Million Strangers Ex-
pected For the Fete.

New York, Sept. 21.-The long her
aided "Hudson-Fulton rush" is on. By
trains, steamship and motor cars the
out Of town contingents are coming in.
On Fifth avenue today one sees few
faces that bear the stamp Of the New
Yorker. People from Schenectady,
Portland, Keokuk, Harrisburg and the
south throng the shopping district.
You meet them on every hand. They
occupy more tables at the restaurants
than the Gothamites. In fact, to the
man who landed from Europe the 9TH
er day the situation is bewildering.
He finds it difficult to credit that he is
home again.
For ten days or more New York is
certain to have a million extra people
in the streets. A good portion of this
million, to be sure, will go home to
their residences in New Jersey, the
Hudson river valley or rural Long
Island, yet Il good many thousands
must look for bed and board within
the city.
The incoming sightseers are to be
divided into three classes - such of
them, that is, who elect to stay over
night in the city. The vast majority
will return home each evening, if their
homes are within an hours run.
OF the three classes of people who
stay over night most Of them will not
patronize the hotels at oil. They will
go to boarding and furnished room
houses.
The favorite scheme for the average
visitor, who is in town to see all that
he can see in the limited time at his
disposal, will be to have a furnished
room in a fairly central location, so
! that he can get his meals wherever
he chooses. This will afford him a
chance to sample all the various res
taurants and see the life in them.
The second of the three classes will
go to the dollar a day hotels Of the
older type, where they can get very
good fare, comfortable surroundings
and naturally not so many luxuries as
they could obtain at the first class mod
ern hotels. The third class, consisting
of rather we'll to do people, will go to
hotels.
Managers of hotels insist that they
can meet the demands, no matter
how many hundreds of thousands OF
visitors crowd the streets. And they
declare that prices will not be greatly
increased throughout the two weeks
Of festivities.
Many of the hotels are crowded now
however, and are turning people away
One of the leading hotel managers
said today: ITS as much as we car
do to take care of regular guests, anG
we can't arrange extra sleeping ac
commodations, because we need al
our spare room to house the eXtrs
diners. We have decided to cont1nt
our efforts to catering to the daily
transients who will come in for meals
Special care is to be taken Of passen
gers by the railroads, and every effor
will be made to maintain a punctua
extra train service. Special arrange
ments for the crowd that will witness

been completed.

The call of the school bell is again
heard in the land, and a host of
sun-brown young folks have COM
menced digging away at their books
ago.
How we wish that the young peo-
pie could get the idea that oppor-
tunities are before them that soon
will pass forever. The young peo-
pie hear their elders debating edu-
cational theories, criticizing fads
and new ideas, and get the impress
sion that the schools are not much
good. But in spite of all foolish
experimenting, the schools of to-day
offer a far better opportunity than
their fathers ever got, and the boy
or girl that does not get what he
can out of them is Furnishing him
self terribly.
In twenty years many boy will
be working along on scanty day
wages because he fooled away his
school hours and failed to get into
the habits of patient industry and
investigation. Many a woman in
twenty years will be called an ig-
noramus because she failed to store
her mind with the common facts of
life, but preferred to make up
faces at the other girls, and tip
winks at the boys. Think it over

At the Midvale Steel company's
plant, a new gun is being built for
the United States navy, 14-inch
breech-loading rifle, which will out
rival anything in existence. The in
strument of destruction was design
ed by Rear Admiral Mason, chief
of the ordinance, and son of Sus-
quehanna county (Pennsylvania)
farmer. There are army rifles of
larger bore, but they are no more
powerful. @.f
When the 1400-pound steel pro-
jectile leaves the muzzle of the piece
it will have an energy great enough
to lift weight equal to that of the
water displaced by the proposed
26,00O-ton battleships and the bat
tleship Mississippi thrown in one
foot in one second. Those three
ships displace, combined, $4,000
tons of water. At distance of five
miles shot from that gun will
penetrate 12 6-10 inches of Krupp
armor. The heaviest side armor
carried by any battleship is about
~ inches.

When told that Peary had charg-
ed him with Gold Bricking" the
people, DR.. Cook, in a few forcible
sentences, which may be commend
ed to the consideration of students
of the art of expression, makes an
appeal to the common sense of the
world which cannot be disregarded
and indicates his intention of estab-
fishing his right to the title of
North Pole discoverer beyond any
dispute. 'If 1 have handed out

bricked Capt. Sverdrup, Commander
Hovgaard, King Frederick, the
