WHERE IS THE LAND?
Sir Gilbert Parker Asks Premier AS
auith About It.

London, Sept 8-The question of the
ownership of the land of the North
Pole came up in the House of Commons
to-day when Premier Asquith replied to
Sir Gilbert Parker The Premier want
C to know if the last information es-
tablished the fact that there was land
at the North Pole, as he understood
that this was not true. Sir Gilbert ex-
planned that he meant adjacent TO the
North Poel, and Mr. Asquith suggested
that he frame another question. Con
tinuing, the Premier, with a twinkle in
his eye, went on to say that the question
Of possession of the pole involved too
much hypothetical matter to permit him
to give definite reply. If, however, it
proved to be British territory it GER
tainly would be taxed as undeveloped
land under the new finance bill.

A GAME OF FREEZE-OUT.

Brillion (Wis.) News: In the gov
ernment envelope controversy between
the printers of the country and postal
officials, it is not primarily competition
that the printers object to, but the fact
that the printing is done at government
expense and the complete envelope de
livered gratis, postpaid" to the ought
to-be customers of every printer in ev-
cry town in the United States. More
over the government does not print
them in its own printing office, but gives
the work without competitive bidding,
to private printing concern at Day
ton, Ohio. This isn't competition. It's
a game of freeze-out, with Uncle Sam
paying the bills and the Dayton print
cry getting the dough.

YOUNG MAN KIDNAPPED
Was Helpless and Was Driven Twelve
Miles from Shreveport.

A Young man, friend of the Caucas-
ian, who promises to become a lawyer
of prominence, was driven in an auto
mobile tweve miles from the city. he
protested in vain and it was not until
his return home that he realized fully
how easily human being can be kid
mapped. This young man was at the
postoffice with the mail for his firm
when he was called by one of his ac-
uuaintances in an auto standing nearby.
Having been induced ito the auto under
the pretext of hearing something to his
advantage, the auto man started and
steadily increased his speed. Jewella
was passed in whirl, and Greenwood
was reached in few minutes. Our
young lawyer friend was out of breath
and could scarcely speak. He was re-
turned to his home late in the evening
and then met his disconsolate wife who
had imagined he would never again re
turn. The mail of the firm was deliv-
cred to the chief Office man with such
explanations as relieved our friend
from an apprehended, as he expressed
it, "bIow up"

CAPTAIN AMUNDSEN
His View of DIR. Cook and Peary Dis
covery-Probably Got Equal Results.

Christiana, Sept Captain Roald
Amundsen, the discoverer of the north
west passage, in an interview today
said:
1T is quite evident that Peary dis
covered no trace of Cook in the con-
tinually drifting ice Peary probably, as
he explained, made his dash from a
more easterly point than DIR. Cook, but
many circumstances may have arisen to
cause change. y
"Do you think Peary obtained more
valuable scientific results than Cook?
Captain Amundsen was asked, and he
replied:
Probably not They were equally
equipped with only absolutely neces
sary instruments. Geographically thei
achievements are of great Importance
and it is very important also that th'
two reports can be compared.
"It may be that they differed severa
geographical minutes. 1t is not import
ant If the exact mathematical pole wa
recahed or not, but it is important tha
the geographical conditions of the spo
were observed Probably something
will be left to be done. What is left will
be sufficient for all of us.

THE CITY MAP
Complied by George Wilson, City En-
gineer-Drawn by E. NJ Turner, As
sistant Engineer.


With the compliments Of George R
Wilson, City Engineer, the Caucasian
is the recipient of map of the city OF
Shreveport for the year 1900. It IS
mounted on cloth and is 6ox44 inches.
Ii is up-to-date in all its parts and gives
a clear and an intelligent perception of
the territory in which the city is en-
braced within its boundary lines. lhe
several additions are also outlined, and
besides, Bossier City is given promi-
nence, as it lies invitingly across Red
river. as possible annex to Shreveport
in years to come. As a whole, this map
exceeds all past efforts, not only from
an artistic view, but as a practical de-
monstration of Shreveport as it is.
The map was drawn by E. M. Turner,
assistant city engineer. His work IS
well done. To much praise could not be
given City Engineer Wilson and his
able assistant, Mr.. Turner. For refer
lence and for general information which
may be obtained from birds eye view
| this map is invaluable. 1t is within the
limits of propriety to say that this mar
should be in the office of every up-to,
/ date business man. II must be seen ant
viewed with deliberation to be fully ap
lpreciated.

E, Il. HARTMAN
Is Reported Dead and Denial Fol
lows

The death of E. H. Hartman was re-
ported today from New York and soon
thereafter there followed a denial. Stock
were correspondingly influenced. The
fluctuations were speculative. That the
death of one man or his anticipated de-
mise should operate in disturbance OF
market values is one of the singularities
of the system of business now in vogue
in this country Hartman can not live
always and when he has passed away and
be equalized with the poorest in the
land the world will continue to revolve
as it has since its creation. In Harri-
mans death will be exemplifed the
truth that no man is so great and pow
erful but he must pay the penalty from
which no mortal can escape.

PEANUT GATHERING
About Twelve Thousand Acres Were
Planted as an Experiment.

There is being harvested in Caddo
and in Bossier the crop of peanuts
planted as an experiment, which, from
present indications, is encouraging. The
is being done under the di-
rectio of w. R. Beattie, assistant hOrti-
culturist of the Department of Agricul-
ture. Peanuts can be grown with little
attention and in soil which is not adapt
ed to other crops, but as it is with all
crops, the best results are secured with
proper attention. The peanuts are to be
converted into oil.

NEVER TOO OLD
To Marry-The Constancy of True
Love-A Romance of Years and Hap

From Cincinnati Ohio comes the
story of a romance of remuneration and
constancy extending over a period of
nearly forty years eliminating in the
wedding of George C. Custer auditor
of the Board of Education of Chicago,
and Miss Alice Gertrude Hatfield of
Madisonyille, a suburb of Cincinnati,
where the marriage took place. The
bride is 81 years old and the bridegroom
70 years.
The brides father, Col. John P. Hat
field, was killed in the civil war and
Miss Hatfield and her mother were left
dependent on their own resources. AS
soon as she was old enough, Miss Hat
| field set about earning her own and her
mothers living. Then she met George
| Custer, a comparatively young man
with romantic background of expe-
rience in the California gold fields, and
a friendship sprang up which showed
indications of ripening into something
deeper
/ Miss Hatfield, however, felt that hel
first duty was to her mother and mar
riage was not in her programme. MIR
Custer moved to Chicago, was employed
as a newspaper reporter, and few

Miss Hatfield. The latter remained sin

point where the Illinois work will end

The Lakes to the Gulf Deep Water
way association was organized in 1906
by the people of the Mississippi valley,
who sent LOO delegates to the con-
vention In st. Louis. The next con-
vention was held in 1907 in Memphis
President Roosevelt came to st: Louis
and went down the river as the guest
Of this association to Memphis, max
ing an address to the convention.
The third convention of the associa-
ton was held in Chicago in 1908 with
3,517 delegates. President Taft and
Mr. Bryan made addresses. President
Taft said in his address. "My own
judgment is that every great improve
ment, like that Of the lakes to the gulf
channel, like that of the Ohio river,
like that Of the Missouri river, like the
Atlantic seaboard inland waterways,
should be treated by itself as one
great enterprise. just as we have treat
ed the Panama canal, and that provi
sion should be made by bonds or 9TH
erwise for the setting aside Of a fund
sufficient to complete it as rapidly as
possible"

will be held on Oct. 81 and Nov. l

occasion will entertain more promi-
nent men than ever before in her his.
tory.
There will be present at this con-
vention to help the good work along
notables from every part Of the coun-
Try and many from abroad. In addi-
| zion to the nations chief executive
there will attend Vice President Sher-
man, Speaker Cannon, several cabinet

thirty governors of states, besides sew
eral foreign ministers and their aids
and over 1000 delegates. \ monster

many warships. and the entire city will
be lavishly decorated in honor Of the
visit Of the president and the water
ways meeting.
An interesting feature of this affair
will be the start from st. Louis for
New Orleans on Oct. %. The presi-
dent will leave the Mound City on that
date on the steamer Mississippi as a
guest of the Lakes to the Gulf Deep
waterway association, and there will
accompany him down the river to New
Orleans a fiotilla Of steamers carving
most Of the nOtables going to the con-
vention.
The passenger boats will be escorted
down the Mississippi by a feet Of
United States torpedo boats, and en-
route many other steamers will fall
in line. At every town and city at
which the feet stops commercial bodies
have arranged to entertain the guests.
President Taft will make many
speeches on the way south, sometimes
from the boat, sometimes on an i'm
provised platform on the levee and
at other times in public halls or on
plazas.
At many points extensive prepare
tons are being made for the entertain
ment Of the party. Governor Deneen
OF Illinois has ordered six batteries of
the state militia to report at Cairo to
salute the president with twenty-one
guns. The batteries will be placed on
barges in the river. and as soon as
the fleet heaves in sight the salute will
begin. Three companies Of state mill
tia will be lined up on the river bank
to escort the president uptown. where
he will make an address.
At New Orleans President Taft will
be the principal speaker of the con-
ventiOn. His address will be made at
2:3O in the afternoon on the opening
day. Vice President Sherman will
speak on the second day and Speaker
Cannon on the last afternoon. The
convention will not only present bril-
liant ensemble. but 1t will also be the
most effective in it's expression of the
