MANILA CAR MEN STRIKE
General Public Continues to Patronize
Cars as Freely as Ever.

Manila, March 10.-The strike of the
street-car men in this city, which was
declared March 4, has not spread beyond
the railway operatives as yet, though
there is still possibility that other
laborers will go out in sympathy. The
various labor unions of the city held
series of meetings on Sunday for the
purpose of organizing an effective boy
colt against the street railway; but the
general public continues to patronize
the cars as freely as has been the ease
since the strike began.

his expedition. Now we learn that
it was i'll equipped for the trip, as
others who have tried it regard equip
ment. Practically speaking Cook
was all alone. Two Eskimos were
with him, but all they can possible
know about it is that Cook told them
that they had reached the pole. The
one white man who was with him
returned long before the pole was
reached. In the next place Cook
reached the pole in a remarkably
short space of time, and it took him
All unusually long time to return.
But so far as the general public is
concerned, more doubt is cast on
Cooks veracity by the stories of
Montana guides who went with the
explorer to Mount Mckinley than by
anything else. a very large measure
of Cooks reputation as an explorer
rests on his ascent OF Mount Mckin-
ley, 2O,464 feet high. Now comes
these guides and say that he never
climbed the mountains at all, but
went to the top of another mountain
about 10000. feet lower. took a few
photographs and then announced to
the world that he had been at the top
of the highest mountain in North
America. If this story is not shown
by Cook to be false, there will be no
faith in his north pole claims, for
man who would try to obtain glory
falsely in one instance would certain
ly be willing to do it in the other
when the possible reward was far
greater.
All these circumstances will compel
proofs of his reported achievement
before his statements will be fully
accepted: and now, no doubt. the
friends Of Peary will scrutinize the
evidence that DR.. Cook offers to the
world very critically. The Tribune
confesses to an inability to see how
the explorer is going to prove his
claims, or how anyone else is going
to prove them false: but some Of the
scientists seem to think there is
way, and they ought to know. Any
how. we may expect the squabble to
keep up Tor some time.-Great Falls
Tribune.

DISCOVERIES OF THE NORTH POI E.

Now we have two Of them. If the
American has reached the furthest
possible north and planted the stars
and stripes in the ice and the SHOWS
of that region. With two men claim
ing the honor there is every promise
Of a merry row among the Arctic en-
plorers as to who shall have the hon
OF.
So far as to the statements Of the
two men 90 there is no doubt that
Cook was the first man at the north
pole. as he claims to have been there
even before Peary left the United
states. But there appears to be
among the men best informed dis
position to doubt the Cook claims.
and this disposition appears to be
more prevalent among the American
scientists and explorers, who would
he presumed to know the man best.
On the other hand, the authorities on
the subject who have talked with
Cook since his return, and who
should be able to Judge best from his
statements and possible inaccuracies
as to whether he is telling the truth
or not, appear to have full faith in
him.
Naturally the question of whether
Cook did or did not reach the north
pole has awakened intense interest
among people generally. The public
can only be governed in its opinion
by the opinions of the scientists so
far as the astronomical observations
go to prove the claim of Cook or the
reverse. but there are some questions
raised by surrounding circumstances
which the uniformed can UNDER
stand, and some of these do cast
doubts on the Cook claims.
In the first place little was known
about Cook s expedition. There was
knowledge that a man named Cook
was somewhere in the northern re-
gions. but aside from those who take
Il direct interest in Arctic explora-
tions, nothing more was known of

BOOKS VS.. TOOLS IN EDUCATION.

Minneapolis Journal: After several
attempts to solve the education prob
lem by mingling manual training with
book learning the Cleveland school
board has decided to cut the Gordian
knot. beginning with the fourth or
fifth grade, the time given to books
by the Cleveland pupils will be re-
duced more than One-half. The rest
Of the time will be devoted to teach
ing the rudiments of trades to boys,
and of household work to girls.
Shops will be opened in all the schools,
and the children will operate small
machines. The superintendent Of
schools, in commenting OH the change,
says: "When we can get away from
teaching the child the things which
are OF little value to him and replace
them with subjects, which, when
mastered, will mean dollars and cents
later in life, the educational problem
will be solved
Of course, it will be, but is COM

and cents will follow trade culture
any faster than it will follow general
culture? 1t is all question which
culture is the more valuable to the
child. The comparative values have
to be assumed. One class Of educa-
tors assumes history, geography and
reading. Another is now assuming
knowledge of tools. \ third class
tried to assume both, and found that
sufficient time was allotted to neither.
The Cleveland experiment is inter-
esting. Its results cannot be known
Immediately. however. 1t will take
several years OF patient waiting, be-
fore the world knows whether the
Cleveland system has solved the prob
lem, or whether another attempt to
solve it has failed.
The question of time is more i'm
portant than the question Of culture.
Ii time permitted, both the practical
and the theoretical could be taught
with a generalappreciation of the fact
that both are good. But time does
not seem to be available. This brings
into view the demand for the all-the-
year-round school again, Il part of the
year to be devoted to book learning

duced ut home. 1t is ruinous short
sighted policy.
But not only in meat and dairy pro-
ducts are we pursuing course that
would impOverish any country If long
continued, but we are making a mis-
take III shipping in our flour and coal.
While it may be a large project to
produce our own flour just at present,
and there may be some local conditions
that impede progress in that direction.
still it is something that should be
brought about as soon as possible.
With immense coal fields in the
county and some close to Lewistown
it seems pity that we must import
this great necessity, send the money
away to help build up some other
community or region, or to enrich
non-residents or great corporations.
We hope the matter of transporting
coal from the mines will be solved in
measure by the use of traction ell
gines. which can haul from 80 to 40
tons trip. While these could not be
operated in the winter season it would
seem feasible to haul the coal in the
fall when the roads are good and store
the fuel to meet the winter demand.
Should this prove impracticable then
every effort should be made to inter-
est capitalists in opening upthe mines
with such improved facilities asto re-
move the obstacle of costly transport
tatiOn.
We are too much dependant upon
the outside for what we consume.

Mr.. HILLS ADylLE.

Crop forecasts are being flashed
over the wires these days. Some
come from official sources, many
from the imaginative brain. Perhaps
those carrying the imprints of official
authority are as far from correct as
some that amount to the merest guess,
says the Anaconda Standard. Assist
ant Secretary of Agriculture Hays
makes the announcement that the
farm products of America this year
will exceed eight billion dollars in
value, "the greatest amount of wealth
ever taken from the soil in one year
in this or any other country" These
figures represent an amount of money
SO great as to be in manner beyond
comprehension.
Already there is talk of a shortage
of cars with which to move the crops.
The cry for help in the fields has been
heard throughout the land-it is still
ringing in the air. Undoubtedly
there is warrant for it. Still the
crops will he harvested somehow.
Prosperity sometimes turns peoples
heads. This has been prosperous
year. The winter of discomfort has
been made glorious summer by the
warm sunshine Of 1909. The farmers,
manufacturers, business and profess
sional men, politicians, women and
children have been singing the happy
refrain Prosperity" until the coun-
try is now thoroughly imbued with
the idea that phenomenal is the
only word to use in connection with
the years results and outlook.
James J. Hill, the conservative,
steps up to the footlights and asks the
audience to cease it's hand clapping
long enough to listen to some words
of wisdom. The empire builder asks
the people not to oyerestimate things.
He tells them that this is a good year,
that it has so far made better than
good. but that the crops are not going
to stall the trains, or glut the market,
or do anything to make the country
regret that the summer was fair. In
brief Mr.. Hill advised them to curb
their enthusiasm SO that it may not
carry them off their feet.

WE MUST DEvELOPE OUR OWN RE.
SOURCES.

Fergus County Argus: Fergus
county will not reap it's full measure
of prosperity until capital is interested
in developing our natural resources.
This is especially true of our towns
and cities.
At present we are sending too much
money out Of the county for articles
of consumption. This is particularly
true rs regards provisions. 1t will be
said that this will all be remedied in
time. This may be true. but start
in that direction cannot be made any
too soon.
Thousands of dollars are sent to
eastern markets yearly for products
that can and should be produced at
home. The assessment for the state
shows that the value of Montana hogs
is only 500 900, while the assessment
returns for Fergus county showed the
number OF hogs to be 400. valued at
S. 4 head.
Now there is no trouble to raise
hogs in the grain and stock growing

are getting weekly large consignments

will be surprising to many Of our
readers TO learn that choice selections
Of eastern beef is being shipped in
here to meet Il certain class Of trade.
This beef may have been raised on our
western ranges and then shipped back
to local dealers. If it is corn fed beef
from the Mississippi valley states
then so much the worse for Montana
can raise and fatten beef tit for kings
and queens. There is no denying
this. Surely this is all wrong: as bad
as anything can be, and it is doubt
less fact that local consumers nay

dents of New York or Boston. 1000
miles away from the ranges and stock
growing regions.
Of course range cattle growers are
indifferent to the local demand. they
are concerned only in the eastern mar
ket, but the farmer and small stock
man should aim to supply the local
market with good beef, as we'll rs
other products. He can do fully as
well as the range shipper. if not bet
ter.
Besides the larger products of con-
sumption. hundreds of eases of eggs
and creamery butter are handled b,
our local merchants every fall and
winter, and all shipped in from Other
states. And heretofore dressed
chicken and turkeys have been
brought in from outside markets t.
supply the holiday demand.

feryss Cosaty Wheat.

From the Fergus County Democrat
The most conservative estimate
places the Fergus county wheat crop
at three million bushels this year.
That means it will require 4,5OO cars
Of 10000 pounds capacity each to haul
this wheat to the eastern market.
From this it may be seen that Fergus
county has done her share toward
reducing the number of "empties''
which have crowded the sidetracks
and car sheds of practically every
railroad in the country for the last Is
months.
