New York, Sept. 6.-Commander
Peary announced April as the date
of his reaching the North Pole in a
dispatch to the New York Times,
reading as follows:
Indian Harbor, Via Cape Ray, N.
F., Sept. 6.-To the New York Times,
New York:
"I have the pole April 6. Expect
arrive Chateau bay September Z.
Secure control wire for me there and
arrange expedite transmission pig
story. (Signed) "Peary."
The date Peary refers to is April
of present year, although not stated
in the dispatch, as his expedition to
the pole did not leave until July,
1908.
St. Johns, N. F., Sept. 6.-Com-
mander Robert E. Peary, who an
nounced today that he had discov-
cred the North Pole on April OF the
present year, found no trace OF Or.
Frederick A. Cook, of Brooklyn, who
reported to the world five days ago
that he had made the same discov-
cry in April of the preceding year.
This news reported here tonight
through Capt. Robt. Bartlett, OF the
Roosevelt, Peary ship, en- route to
Chateau bay, Labrador.
Capt. Bartlett telegraphed to rela-
tives here that Peary had found moth
ing to indicate that DR.. Cook had
reached the pole. While Peary does
not expressly repudiate DR.. Cooks
contention in so many words, his
statement may have an important
bearing upon determining the ex-
tent of Cooks explorations.
The Roosevelt was in good con-
dition and the crew all right, wired
Capt. Bartlett in addition, and he
reported that the schooner JEANNE,
carrying supplies for the expedition,
had met them off the coast of Green
land. Coming South the Roosevelt
passed Etah and Upernavik, Green
land, where DR.. Cook had preceded
Peary.
The Roosevelt tonight is bound
for Chateau bay, Labrador, with
Peary and party on board, where she
is due tomorrow. Chateau bay lies
Northwest of Cattle and Heinly is
lands on the Northern shore of Belle
Isle straits and due East of Belle
Isle.

Woman Fights Desperately.

Tampa, Fla, Sept. 4.-After des-
perate fight in which she barely es-
capped death by her own shot gun, a
white woman this afternoon sue
ceeded in frightening away a negro
who attempted criminal assault upon
her. The negro succeeded in es-
Gaping, the bloodhounds being unable
to follow the scent through the busi-
ness section of the city.
The woman was in her bedroom
when the negro entered. She reach
ed for her shotgun, which was in a
rack over the bed. The negro grab
bed the weapon from her and fired
at her, but she knocked up the muz-
zle in time to escape death. Posses
continue to hunt the negro tonight

Kills Negro Highwayman.

Barnesville, Ca, Sept. 4.-Lack
of discrimination in picking victims
cost a negro highwayman his life at
Miner, near here, tonight. Marshal
Sims was making his regular rounds
when the negro sprang from a hiding
place, choked the officer and pressed
knife against his throat. He de-
manded the marshal's money. The
marshal, while giving it, drew his
gun with his free hand and and fired
twice. The negro dropped and died
in a few minutes.

Farmers Gather in Birmingham.

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 6.-The
fifth annual convention of the Farm
ers Educational and Cooperative
union will begin tomorrow morning.
Delegates from the cotton producing
States are in attendance and cotton
will be the principal topic of discus
sion.
The Farmers union is secret So
ciety with all the secret and rituals
tic work of any lodge. 1t is composed
of farmers and had for it's main OBJ
ject the elimination of the cotton fac
tor and middle man and the market
ing of the crop directly from the pro-
ducer to the manufacturer.
= Already the union has numerous
warehouses and if the plans of its
leaders are carried out, many more
will be erected during the coming
year and strong effort will be made
to get into the union every cotton
grower in the South. Then not only
will the middle mans profit be saved
to the grower, but the market can
be controlled, for with all American
cotton held in the unions ware
houses it can be sold only when the
price is satisfactory. The idea in
brief is to make the Farmers union
to the cotton grower what the to-
bacco pool is to the tobacco pro-
ducers.
The session Tuesday will be the
only one open to the public, although
the union will continue it's meeting
for several days. During the ex-
ecutive session the price is fixed for
the ensuing year and members are
not supposed to sell for less. AL
ready the officers have sold a part of
this years cotton to English manu-
facturers.

OUR GRADED SCHOOL.

By reference to a notice from the
board of trustees of the Bamberg
graded school, published in another
part of this paper, it will be seen
that they feel compelled to charge a
fee of S4.00 year in order to main
tain the school. This was made
necessary by reduction in assess
ments of property for taxes and the
loss of revenue from the dispensary.
So we are getting very early the re-
suits of prohibition. But it is not
our purpose to discuss that feature of
the question. We presume our peo-
pie knew what they were doing when
they voted for prohibition, as we
told them plainly through The Her
aid that they might expect higher
taxes and a loss of revenue for the
schools. But what to do to maintain
the efficiency of our school and pro-
vide education for poor children is a
condition which confronts us NOW.
Something must be done to meet this
loss of revenue.
AS many of our wealthiest citi-
zens and largest taxpayers voted for
and supported prohibition, we pre-
sumo they will not object to paying
increased taxes, but it will be next
year before the levy can be increased.
At the coming session of the legis-
lature the school law for Bamberg
district should be amended so as to
allow a larger levy. The maximum
amount now fixed by law is four
mills, and this is now being levied in
order to pay interest on the bonds
for the new building and retire one
bond each year, as well as support
the school-pay teachers, etc. When
the building was burned, the in
surance was not sufficient to replace
It, so the trustees borrowed money
and erected a new building, and this
borrowed money they are repaying
out Of the levy of four mills. When
it is considered all that is being done
on a levy of four mills, we say the
trustees are doing well, but the law
should be changed at the next ses-
sion of the legislature so that levy
sufficient to run the school can be
put on if the tax payers vote it. A
mass meeting of citizens is held in
June of each year, and this meeting
fixes the school levy for the coming
year, so there is no reason for any
limit at all. Let the levy be what
ever the citizens vote. The editor of
this paper had a good deal to do with
having the old school law for this
district amended, or rather the pres
ent act passed, but our ideas in re-
gard to the school act were never full
ly carried out. We are now ready
to assist in having the present law
amended as outlined above, provided
it meets with the APPROVAL of the tax
payers and patrons of the school.
But in the meantime some poor
children will be kept out of school
and thereby be deprived of an edu-
cation on account of this S4.00 fee.
Frankly, it is prohibitive so far as
some poor people are concerned. We
don't want to see any child kept out
of school on this account, and will
not some of our people assist in pay

The estimate is based on the amount II
costs the city of Rochester annually
to maintain its milk depots, A pre-
liminary feature of this supervision of
the sources of the baby's milk has been
the selection of some farm within
reasonable distance from the city in
which the dairy cows are kept under
cleanly, wholesome conditions. The
source of supply selected, and the milk
contracted for, a portable laboratory
is erected on the place. and the es-
tablishment is put in charge of train
ell nurse, who supervises the milking,
the sterilization of the utensils, the
bottling, packing and
shipment of the milk Packed in ice,
the milk is carried to the city and
from four centers in as,
many parts of the city.
During the ten years before the
establishment of the milk depot the
total number of deaths of children un-
der one year was 4.975. From 1897,
when the work was begun, to 1906,
the total number of deaths of children
Of that age was S,421, a reduction of
over 80 per cent, without taking into
any increase in popula-
ton during that period"
In doing this work Rochester has
shown itself an up-to-date city. Mu-
should guard the food sup
plies of their people and especially
the milk supply Individual house
holders have no way of adequately
themselves.

BALLINGER, THE QUIBBLER.

If there is anything that makes the
average citizen choke with disgust and
Indignation it is to see wrong doing
protected by the cloak of legal au-
thority," or to see justice blocked by
absurd technicalities. People like to
see officials governed by common
sense and a desire to do right rather
than to be continually quibbling over
insignificant points.
A number of years ago there was an
eastern oregon bandit who thought he
would escape the law much as some
thigh finance" crooks now get away.
The sheriff of Gillian county was hot
on his trail and the fellow crossed the
Columbia river into Washington. The
sheriff followed him. But you can't
arrest me here. You have no author
ity, I am in Washington" said the
robber boldly defying the law. But
the sheriff was not the sort of a fell
low to hesitate even though not but
ressed with legal authority" He
grabbed the fellow, clinked the hand
cuffs upon him and after he had
brought him back across the river in
to oregon he read his warrant for the
bandit and Officially" placed him
under arrest. The robber was the
only man who complained.
The controversy now on between
Pinchot and Ballinger and the friend:
Of each recalls this story. Ballingel
is said to be guided by respect for the
law" He wants to do nothing that Is
not authorized" He did not want
the forestry service to establish sta.
tions for use Of the rangers though
the stations were regarded as highly
necessary for the good of the forest
seINlCe' ne uoeS HoI want ~ uO any

Gillian county sheriff Ballinger is a
good sort of official-for those who
are getting away with the country's
natural resources.

STATE TAXATION.

Southern California is now in re-
vclt over the action of the state board
OF equalization in assessing southern
California realty at what is consider
ed excessive figures.
The people of Los Angeles are LOUD
in their complaints because Los An
geles county has been appraised at
$S5,O0O,OOO in excess of san Francisco.
With the mayor of Los Angeles as
leader of the movement the southern
CaHfornians are openly talking of state
division unless they are given justice.
A previous attempt at what was con-
sidered a rank injustice to southern
California was frustrated two years
ago.
It seems that in California the state
board of equalization fixes the land
valuations. Under such a system as
this it is easy to see how trouble has
state board to merely consider the to-
arisen, 1t would be preferable for the
tai valuation of property in each coun-
ty and to ask of each county a lump
sum as is done in Oregon. Under this
system it is up to county assessors to
see that the burden is equtably dis
tributed among different classes Of
property.
But it is better still when state
governments secure all the revenue
needed as some states do from such
sources as Inheritance taxes. taxes on
insurance companies, express compa-
nies, railroads and other concerns do
! ing state wide business. Taxes on
local property are then levied strictly
for local purposes and there can be
no friction between different sections
of the state.

ROCHESTER'S WAY.

In this age Of applied science hu-
man life is being safe guarded as never
before. Every manner Of precaution
is taken to prevent the spread of con-
