SECOND MESSAGE FROM
ARCTIC EXPLORER PEARY.

His Discovery Within Few Days After
Report OF Cooks Discovery Peary Wires

at Chateau, Labrador.

there was flashed today this message
which stunned the scientific world and
thrilled the heart Of every layman
From the black coast of Labrador
Peary gave to the world the news that
lie had attained his goal IN the far
north, while at the same moment II
far of Denmark, DR.. Frederick A
Cook OF Brooklyn was being dined and
lionized by royalty for the same
achievement.
Undeniably Yankee grit has con
quered the frozen north and there
has been created coincidence such
as the world viii never see again.
Two Americans have planted the flag
Of their country in she land Of ice
which MAJ has sought to penetrate
for four centuries; and each ignorant
Of the others conquest has flashed
within a period Of five days a laeouic
message Of success to the waiting
world.
Cook in his first message to his
countrymen was brief but noncommlt-
tai; Peary was even briefer but spe-
eific. stars and Stripes nailed 10 the
North Pole he said That was all,
but never before has so few words

Five days ago. on September /, Doe

Islands the first message of his sue.
cess--a message which has aroused
a storm Of controversy around the
world. Today Robert e Peary lost
from view in the land of ice and un.
heard from since August 1908, starti
ed the world b. a similar message
sent from Indian Iiarbor Labrador
There was no qualification. II left no
doubt It announced unequlvooally
that he had reached the top Of the
world Thus two flags with the stars

floating in the lee packs proving the
courage Of the intrepid Americans.

world waits breatnlessly for details

COUNTY ENRICHED
$4,000 IN TAXES
a Great Amount Of soth Personal
And Real Property Found BY
Tax Ferrets.

When the tax ferrets now at work
Oh the county records have finished
their work they viii have added about
$4,000 in taxes to the county's
wealth For about three weeks the
lnquisltors have been digging into the
records to find property that has es
capped taxation. and their efforts are
not IN vain. Many acres of land that
should have been taxed both in 1905
and 1909 have been found and the
owners notified to come and pay the
taxes and avoid the penalty A great
lot Of personal property has also been
found that escaped assessment. and
the taxes on such property are now
coming into the treasurer
At first some Of the property own
ers. who had escaped the taxes were
displeased with the work OF the fer
rets. but as they come 10 understand
the law there is not a great deal ol
dissatisfaction
when ever property is found that
has escaped taxation either by failure
or refusal Of the owner to list such
property with the township assessor
for taxation, the owner is notified and
can pay the taxes without penalty
