PEARY's PROPHETIC WORDS.

Washington Sept. 6-"Should an American first place the stars and stripes at that coveted spot there is not an American citizen at home or abroad but would feel a little better and a little prouder of being an Am erican."
 Commander Peary three years ago thus prOphetically outlined the view, value and interest that is attached to the achievement announced in his dis patch today. The news of Peary's feat following close upon that of Dr. Cook planting the American flag on the same spot evoked enthusiastic plaudits in Washington. Such won derful achievements mark. epochs in history" declared Captain Veeder. in charge of the United States naval ob- seryatory. "Peary adds still another name to the long list of American he roes,' said Professor Asaph Hall of the observatory.
 Courses taken by Peary and Cook did not differ very materially, accord ing to Professor Henry Gannett, the geographer. 'Peary's plan was to get to the northwestern cape of Grant land, where he had been to the vicin- fty of Lady Franklin Bay. then north west along the coast before proceed ing away from land and starting for the pole I should say he took about the same course this time.
 Cook started at Etah and cross- ed over into Grinnelland to some point on the north coast near where Peary started Their courses seem to have varied iittle.r
 Peary's last public appearance at Washington was when President Roosevelt presented him on December Is, 1906. with the Hubbard medal of the National Geographic society. It was then that Peary declared that man and the Eskimo dogs are the only two mechanisms that could meet all the contingencies of Arctic work.

EXPECTS HIS CONFIRMATION
Says That Though They Are Friendly Rivals the Pole is Big Enough For Two and America Is Doing Wonderfully Well"

Copenhagen. Sept. s.-Copenhagen was electrified tonight by the report of Peary's announcement that he reached the north pole. pr. Cook was immediately interested and said: That is good news. I hope Peary did get to the pole. His observations and reports on that region will confirm mine''
 Asked if there is any probability of Peary's having found the tube contain ing his records, Dr. Cook replied: T hope so, but that is doubtful on ac- count of the drift. Peary would have reached the pole this year. Probably while I 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. That two men got to the pole along different paths should furnish large additions to scientific knowledge Probably other parties will reach 1t in the next two years, since every eX- plorer is helped by the experience of his predecessor, just as Sverdrup's observations and reports were of i'm measurable help to me. I can say nothing more without knowing further details, than that I am glad of it.'
 While Mir Cook was conversing casually today with American friends, the possibility of the Peary denoue- ment was laughingly suggested. Cook remarked: Tt is quite possible Peary will turn up now. He is about due to h.. arrfa ont hiS Tl1nG We have always been friends. Of course. we are rivals in the attempt to find the pole, but we have been friendly rivals"
 Those who have had the best op- portunity to become acquainted with Cook here believe that he is not likely to enter into a controversy with Com mander Peary. Sverdrup, who Is here to congratulate pr. Cook, was much 1n- terested in the news of Peary reaching the pole. There is nothing I can say about this particularly" he said, tex cept that it is most important and wonderful. It seems to me that Amer ica is doing wonderfully well If two Americans are to get to the pole after such long struggles"
 If any evidence is needed tO es- tablish Denmark's valuation of Dr. Cook it can be found in the fact that he is to receive the highest tokens within it's gift The king is to con fer a gold medal of merit with the crown, which only three other geogra- phers - Nansen, Svenhedin and Amundsen-are entitled to wear. The society will bestod a gold medal given to four other travellers only-Nansen, Captain Scott. Hedin and Sverdrup.

Governor Sloan Delivers the Address
 of the Day at Flagstaff.

Flagstaff. Sept. 6.-(Special to The Republican, )-The annual picnic of the Northern Arizona Pioneers held in the city park today was not as large ly attended as last year owing to rain and the excitement prevailing on ac- count of two men being lost in the ice caves.
 Governor R. F. Sloan who was the speaker of the day. made an eloquent address in which he paid, glowing tribute to the pioneers who had made it possible for Arizona to, become what she is today and will be in the future. Before sundown the lost men had been found, the rain ceased and everything was favorable for the pioneers. A ball which is now in progress at the court house is a huge success. Gray-haired pioneers are dancing with the same air of freedom and gayety that thgy did almost century ago. when North ern Arizona was hardly considered in the bounds of civilization.

A True Friend.

A friend is man or woman who
loves you for what you are, not for
what you pretend to be, not for what
can be bled out of you, but for your
real self. He knows your faults and
maybe he doesn' like them either;
but he likes you in spite of the faults:
and when he sees you making fool
of yourself, he'll tell you of it in
good, plain English. The world is
full of friends, real friends. friends
who'll stand by you through thick
and thin, friends who love you and
forgive you and look to the best side
of you. Friends who don't care the
rattle of an old tin can whether you
are rich, or handsome. or successful
or not.

HOTEL LAW KNOCKED OUT.
Affects Every Hotel in Iowa Over
Ten Rooms. Will BE Appealed
to Supreme Court.

Iowa's new hotel law requiring
fire escapes and sanitary protection
to health is unconstitutional and in
valid according to an opinion hand
ed down in district court by Judge
VIM. H. McHenry of Des Moines in
the test case of F. M. Hubbell and
others against Lafayette Higgens,
state hotel inspector.
The court literally perforated the
law with points of unconstitutional
ity and though the case will be APP
pealed to the supreme court for final
decision, lawyers quite generally
agree that the courts points are well
taken.
The court holds the law to be un-
constitutional when it provides for
its application to hotels of more than
ten rooms, because it is an unjust
discrimination of rights as among
citizens in violation of the fourteenth
amendment to the United States con-
stitution, because the patron of a
/
nineeroom hotel is not given the same
consideration as the patron of ten
room hotel.
He holds the law is unconstitution-
al when it provides hotel keeper
may be imprisoned for non-payment
of inspection fees to the inspector
on the ground that such fees are
merely debt and there cannot un-
der the constitution be imprisonment
for debt.
That the law is unconstitutional
the court holds when it gives the in
spector the right to say what are
proper sanitary equipments. This,
4 the court claims, is an effort to dele
gate legislative authority to the in
spector and beyond the power of the
Y legislature.
This decision is One of the most
far reaching made for many years.
4 The new law was passed with view
of giving protection to the thousands

EDIsoN's CEMENT HOUSE.
Great American Wizard Declares He
VIII Cast His First Home by
January.


New York-"Two years ago / said
that | was working on plan by
which / hoped to cast a house of
cement as foundryman casts a car
wheel out of iron. / now feel safe
in saying that / have solved the
problem. All my preliminary ex
periments have proved successful.
and, in December or January, i ex
pect to cast my first house. If l
succeed, as / feel certain l shall, the
cement house will be my greatest in
vention. 1t will solve the problem of
housing. 1t will take from the city
slums everybody who is worth TAX
ing. Why, shall make it possible
to build a house with a good cellar,
seven large or ten ordinary size
rooms, and bath, for $4,000. Come
out and see my molds." In an open
space, surrounded by planners and
lathes, were what appeared to be
the foundation walls and part of the
story of an iron house. A peep
over the top showed that there were
two iron houses, one set within the
other, with an eight-inch space be-
tween. Into this space cement is to
be poured; then the two iron houses
will be taken down, and the finished
structure of artificial stone will be
ready for occupancy.
cpl dig the cellar of this house
with a steam shovel" Mr.. Edison
continued, land cast it in six hours
Two locomotive cranes will lift the
| 232 cubic yards of cement that the
house will contain and pour 1t into
the openings at the top. The cement
will pass through the twelve sluic'
boxes, and as it is being poured,
number of men will churn it will
iron bars, at the end of which viii
be large ball. The churning will
be for the purpose of sending waves
through the cement, of the moulds.
And it is a wonderful house tina
the famous wizard of science intends
to build. There will not be enough
wood to make hundred dollar fire
even if all of it we're to be consumed
Floors, mantels. picture-molding
y and sdecorations-all will be of ce
ment. The bath-tub, wash stands
and sinks will be cast of the sam
material Edison says he can MAKE
cement bath-tubs that will be as
smooth as highly polished glass. All
that is required to do is to have
highly polished molds. Wherever
beauty is desired an extra finish viii
be put on the casting forms.
No street of Edison cement house:
will be a dull thoroughfare of uni
form color and design. One house
will be built on one plan, the next
on another. One house will be gray
another red or light green. while
the third may be yellow Tinting
the cement before it is poured is
easy.
