Deep Waterways Convention.

The Lakes-to the-GuIf Deep Water
ways Convention will be held in New
Orleans on October 80 and 81. Presi-
dent Taft is to attend and the Cover
nors of many states have signifiec
their intention of being present at the
gathering. The cities and towns of
the Ohio Valley should be well repre-
sented at New Orleans and it is graft
tying to nute that several IF the n

quate representation.
The business interests of the Ohio
Valley feel deep concern in the pro-
ject for a nine foot stage for the Ohio
river. Ail-the-year- round steamboats,

The American Arctic Explorers.

As the two rival Arctic explorers
near the American shores, interest is
manifest as to the outcome of the
heated controversies into which the
two daring men have been plunged
since the annou acement that both had
discovered the North Pole. Since he
learned that d.. Cook had laid claim to
TIE honor of icing the first man to
reach the pole, Commander Peary has
vigorously assaulted the character and
veracity Of DR.. Cook. denouncing him
before the civilized world as an impos-
tor and faker of the rankest sort.
On the other hand, DR.. Cook, al
though beset by requests from news
papers and appealed to by his support
ers to answer the charges, has remain
ed silent on the subject, preferring to
leave the matter to the better judg-
ment of the most scientific men of the
world than to engage in bitter con-
troversy with his American brother.
Commander Peary acted very unwise-
ly in challenging the sincerity of the
Brooklyn explorer. His charges were
without warrant and his Recommendations
were but the result of jealous desire
to deprive the daring Brooklynite of
the glory he had achieved by planting
the American flag in that part of the
world.that Commander Peary had spent
SO many years of his life in vain efforts
to reach.
DR.. Cook has never expressed him
self as being doubtful of Peary's sue
cess. When the first announcement
was made he won the admiration of
the civilized world by the simple state
ment, "lf Peary says he has been to
the pole believe him." He did not
doubt the truth of the statement of his
rival for the honors. and the sympa-
thies of the world went out to him
when his character was assailed.
The journeys of the two American
explorers will be reviewed. no doubt,
within the next few weeks. and the
and data will be discussed
before the most scientific men of the
world. If they can prove that they
have reached the pole, then.there will
be glory and honor senoughj for both. |
If Peary can prove that Cook has new
er been Ito the pole then he alone |
should be entitled to the credit. On
the contrary if the statement of a |
Roman astronomer bears any truth it
is probable that Commander Peary was
the one who failed to reach the goa
instead of Cook. Peary may be able
to establish his claims, and he may
succeed in depriving Cook of his share
of the glory. but the sympathies of
the world are with the latter, and will
be until it is proven conclusively that
he has no right to the honors to be de-

EXPRESS COMPANIES
ASSESSMENT INCREASED

Pierre, s.. D., July 2S.-If the state
assessment board deals in the same
manner with railroad assessments az it
does with express companies, there
will be a material increase in the as
sessment of corporate property in the
state this year. The incrt ase in eX-
press assessments is practically $780,
900. OF this the American gets $40,-
600 over last year, being placed at
S171, 433. The Wells Fargo, which was
not listed last year, is now 5000, 900,
that company having taken owe most
of the business of the United States
company, which was last year assessed
at $3.50. 900, and this yea is $5,051. The
Adams Express is placed at $35,462, an
increase of $4,000; and the Western is
So, 1862, a slight increase. On the basis
used, the Great Northern Express was
reduced to $1l ,S7S, a very small reduc-
ton.
The Pullman Palace Car company is
placed at $4,000, an increase of $12,-
600 over last years assessment.

REFEREE DECIDES
ARMOUR MERCHANT
ROBBED HIMSELF
Orders Cantonwine to Turn
Over $4,000 of Stolen
Money, and Do 1t Quick.

Sioux Falls, s. D., July 2S-Referee
Muller In the famous CantonWlne
bankruptcy case has decided that Can
tonwine and his wife Maggie have en-
tered into a conspiracy TO cheat their
creditors.
C~antonwine claimed that on Septem-
Der Is, he was robbed of $4,000 In cash
which prevented him paying that
amount to his numerous creditors.
Soon after the alleged robbery, Can
tonwine went. into bankruptcy and
placed his liabilities at 5000 0
In his findings, Referee Muller holds
that the story of the robbery was a
fake, pure and simple; that Canton
wine n his wife have still got pos
session Of the money and that they
have hid it in order to avoid paying
their debts.
He orders ~Cantonwine TO turn over
$12, 500 of the stolen money" and do IT
quick. Furthermore, the trustee Is en-
titled to a judgment setting aside GER
tain ~conveyances by which Canton
wine transferred property TO his wife,
and requiring both Cantonwine and his
wife, both of whom were defendants
in the action, to deliver to the trustee,
notes described in the findings, and
which were given by Cantonwine to his
wife TO secure alleged loans of money
made by her to him
IL case Cantonwine does not turn
over the money as ordered, they will
be arrested for contempt Of court, If

RAILROAD ASSESSMENTS
WILL BE RAISED

Pierre, S. D., July 29.-It appears
that while the railroads of the state
are not going to be hit extremely hard
by the state assessment board this
year, that they will get theirs to a :im-
tied extent along with the express
companies. While definite figures have
not been ike for railway assessments,
the indications appear to be that they
will get increases ranging from 5000
TO $500 on main mes at least. That
class of property will get an increase
in the aggregate reaching In the vic
unity of ISL 600, 900, in all likelihood, but
1t will be spread out thin, n none
of them will get any big load to carry.
