belief that it is more than twice
as great. The number of bust
ness places has increased and the
general tone aud character of
business places has improved
vastly. There were then two
lumber yards of the dinky variety,
both of which did not sell as
much lumber, so l believe. as
either one of the three thriving
and substantial yares of today.
Fires have destroyed about 325
feet front of business property
along Military street and there
have been built or rebuilt, or
made ready for rebuilding about
500 feet front. Standard and
modern sidewalks now appear in
| the entire business section, where
formerly one took his life in his
hands to walk on some of them
on a dark night. How does the
lights of ten years ago compare
with those of today? And the
light plant was down at the dam,
afterwards to be moved up to
the trackside, and never until
Charlie Jones got hold of it has
it been a source of public pride
land an ornament to the town.
Then there is the water. system.
The surface well has gone out of
business since 1900, Jan. 1. The
water system is not yet complete,
but such as it is, what town has
a better? Not one in ten dozen
has one so good and that furni-
shes such good water. You can
always get a drink of water that
will do you good in old Baxter,
and a better one now than ever,
thanks to the enterprising per-
sistence of our friend the mayor.
The sidewalks do not all end
with the business section. One
may now walk and walk and
walk on good sidewalks where
at the beginning of this decade
it was uqpleasantly different.
Then theEe is the telephone sys-

The sale of few high. priced cars brings

mean that motorcars worth from $3.50

The pronounced prejudice of proper

and motorists is traceable to several
contributing causes one of which Is the
conduct of small percentage of motor

motorist reflects discredit upon 100 care

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1908.

After all the expeditions in search OF
the North Pole il has remained for Or
Frederick Cook to reach the coveted
goal. While there are those among the
scientists who seem doubtful OF his a
chievement there seems to be no good
reason for doubling that he has accom-
plished what other explorers for nearly
four hundred years have attempted IN
vain. The fact that he was away on an
expedition had almost been forgotten,
We have heard so much of other eXped-
itions and so little Of Dr. Cooks venture
into the land Of perpetual ice that no
body attached any importance to bis
quest in the Arctic zone All at once
the world is given the news that Cook
has discovered the pole and nailed the
stars and stripes toit.
1t was great piece of work, possible
only in the case Of a man OF great BRAY
cry perseverance and physical strength.
There has always been an interest In
the pr otracted search for the North
Pole. There were talk and speculation
rs 10 it, possible discovery, and much
doubt as TO whether anyone would ever
succeed in reaching the pole. The bones
of hundreds of men lie buried in the po-
lar regions where they fell, victims OF
hunger and cold, led on to their death
by the hope of penetrating the frozen
north. After all the futile efforts at
discovery it remains that brave and
courageous American got there, and
every citizen Of the United States Is
proud Of his achievement and rejoice
that the honor has fallen to an Ameri-
can citizen
LATER-From out of the Arctic dark
ness there was flashed Monday from the
coast of Labrador the news that Robert
f.. Peary had also discovered the North
Pole on April 6 1909. Coming five days
after the announcement by DR.. Cook, OF
Brooklyn, that he had accomplished the
same feat 1t was sensational III Seems
two Americans have planted the flag on
the North Pole in the land of ice, which
man has sought to penetrate for four
hundred years and each ignorant Of the
Others conquest has flashed within five
days message of success to the wait
