A SIGHT WELL WORTH TAKING
TRIP TO SEE.
Great Project VIII Be Advanced

A company of twenty people took
sight seeing trip to the fish hatchery

Immediately north and west Of the lit
tie city OF Huntsville, yesterday after
noon, the guests of Messrs Hyrum
Baird. J. C. Coombs. and D. e. Chat
f1n, stock brokers for the Ogden Valley
Trout and Resort company. The trip,
which was a very pleasant one, was
made In one of the large sight seeing
cars of the Ogden Automobile com
pany.
The point of interest was the fish
hatchery in the valley. The
hundreds of thousands of trout
fry In the ponds there were a COM
plete revelation to the visitors. Five
or six of these ponds were visited in
which were seen, according to the
statement Of Joseph Barker, president
OF the company. over five hundred
thousand small fish about nine months
old Aside from the fry In evidence.
there were almost countless numbers
OF trout one and two years old.
To look at the grounds at this time
and view the multitude Of fish, one
would conclude that fish raising busi-
ness there is already great success,
but the managers of the company state
that all that has been done so far will
be completely set at naught when the
plans for the new hatchery and spawn
ing ponds. now in course Of construc-
tion, are carried out. Under present
conditions trout are being spawned
and raised In ponds provided by ma
ture, which means that many difficult
ties are encountered. Large quanti-
ties OF moss grow in these places and

ciates were at outs and the former
had threatened suit McAllistcr step
ped in as peace maker and finally ar
ranged with Lippman for stock in the
company himself and other Logan as
sociates under the same terms as the
agreement with Wilson. To ward off
suit McAllister made final settle
ment between Wilson and Lippman
whereby Wilson was to have 10000
shares in the company. Of this
amount Wilson gave McAllister 5000
for fixing up their differences. 1t was
this 5000 shares Of stock that Meal
listers associates sought to have di-
vided equally between them. The gu
preme court held that the plaintiffs
in the action received all that was
coming TO them under the agreement
with Wilson. and that the 5000 which
McAllister received was side issue
and reward for his services as peace
maker.

EARTHQUAKE ON The
lSTHMUS OF PANAMA
Canal Has Not Been Affected In
Any Way.
Buildings Were Shaken So That
Occupants Ran In Terror Into
The Streets, But No Serious
Damage Was Done-The Reports
Say That The Canal Was Not AZ
fected.

Panama Especially. - The Isthmus
of Panama experienced an earth
shock extending over a large extent
Of territory. No damage was done
however, nor is it believed that the
canal has been affected in any way
Lieutenant Colonen G.. w. GOethals
gave out the following statement:
The seismographs on the isthmus
at s O'Clock recorded earth move
mcnts at various stations across the
isthmus. However, they were not
sufficiently severe to be generally
felt, nor to have any injurious effects
on any of the canal work now in
execution or in prospect"
The administration buildings OF
both the government and the canal
commission here and at Ancon were
SO severely shaken that the clerks
left their desks hurriedly for the
street. They soon returned, how
ever, when it was seen that no dam
age had been done and that the
first shock was not followed by a
second. The quake was also felt at
Aguadulce, in Cocle Province, and al
Pacora, in the province of Panama
points more than 100 miles apart
Colonel Goethals has received the
following official report of the earth
quake from Engineer Saville, at Gu
Zebra:
"On August 2S, at 11.O5 A. NJ.
the seismograph recorded disturb
ances. The Ancon observer reports
that he also was sensible to a move.
ment, and he believes he was con-
scious to a rumbling noise.
AT o'clock the seismogralh here
recorded a severe shock, but the per
was knocked from both the 100 X
instruments. The shock was noted
in several stations across the 18TH
mus and at Alajuela, in Culebra, It
was independently noted by me and
the principal observers"
There is nothing as yet to indicate
that the Panama Canal was damaged
by the quake. Special inquiries are
being maze in this direction. and a
report from the canal commission is
expected

FINDS NORTH POLE

A. Cook, the American explorer
reached the North Pole April 21r
1905, according to a telegram just
received at the Colonial Office here
from Lerwick, Shetland Islands.
Dr.. Cook is on board the Danish
government steamer Hans Egede
which passed Lerwick at noon. en-
route for Denmark.
The telegram announcing Dr..
Cooks achievement was sent by a
Greenland official on board the
steamer, and reads as follows:
I'VE have on board the American
traveller, DR.. Cook, who reached the
North Pole April 21, 1908. DR.. Cook
arrived at Upernavik (the northern
most Danish settlement in Greenland
on an island off the west coast) in
May of 1909 from Cape York Tin the
northwest part of Greenland, on Baf.
fin Bay. The Eskimos of Cape
York confirm DR.. Cooks story of his
journey"
Director Ryberg, head Of the
Greenland administration. said thai
he did not expect to receive any fur
ther details of DR.. Cooks achieve
ment before the arrival of the Hans
Egede at this port. The vessel VIII
make no stops on the voyage from
Lerwick to Copenhagen.
Director Ryberg proceeded to the
American Legation and informed the
minister, DR.. Maurice F. Egan, that
DR.. Cook had reached the North Pole
The announcement caused the great
est enthusiasm throug' 7ut the city
and riany Americans called at the
leation to congratulate the Minister
Among these was Alexander Kouta
of New York, a warm personal friend
of DR.. Cook, who said that he had
believed the explorer had perished
long ago The legation was over
crowded with visitors.
The noted explorer, Commander
Hovgaard. leader of various North
Pole expeditions, was convinced that
the message that DR.. Cook had
reached the Pole was true, but re-
marked that 1t was strange that nc
mention was made in the cable as
to whether or not there is land al
the Pole. 1t is the intention of the
people of Copenhagen, on DR.. Cook s
arrival here, to give him a most en-
thusiastic reception.
