ORDER OF EAGLES
MEET IN ST, LOUIS
TWELFTH ANNUAL CONVENTION
F. o. E. ST. LOUIS AUGUST 22.
10000 EXPECTED.

St. Louis, Mi, July 29.-Arrange-
ments are completed for the twelfth
annual convention of the Fraternal
Order of Eagles, which opens in this
city on August 22nd, and continues
four days. The holding of this con
VentiOn in the middle west means that
in addition 10 the two thousand dele
gates in attendance, ten thousand
Eagles from the cities of the Missis-
sippi Valley will take part in the 80.
cial festivities.
The Fraternal Order of Eagles has
had remarkable growth. Founded
in Seattle twelve years ago, during the
past five years in particular it has
forged to the front as one of the ac-
tive brotherhoods of the valley and
the Pacific coast. Today there are
nineteen hundred subordinate aeries
located throughout the United States
and Canada, and the total membership
exceeds three hundred thousand. Dur
ing the past ten years the subordinate
bodies have invested six million dol
lars in fraternal temples and club
rooms. Six millions have been dis
bursed to members as sick benefits
during this period; and over one mil
lion has been paid in funeral benefits.
This places the Fraternal Order oI
Eagles among the first of those or
which combine benefit
features with social good fellowship.
The leaders of this order realize
that the time has arrived to map out
and enforce definite, larger policies for
the government of the national and
bodies. This implies that,
apart from the social entertainment
arranged by the st. Louis brethre'
he coming convention will be one Of
he most important in the history Of
he order
The convention will bring together
1 large number of men who nave
achieved prominence in civic and bus
ness fields. Frank E. Herring, former
candidate for lieutenant governor OF
Indiana will call the convention to

plorer. today announced that the rival
of Commander Peary in the North Pole
chase, was within stones throw of
New York's newspaper offices and that
tomorrow defensive magazine article
would be started in his behalf
Doctor Cook" the captain said,
expects his records from Etah almost
any day, and as soon as they arrive
he will come out of hiding and lay his
claims before the American public
once more, defying Peary and charg-
ing that Peary did not reach the pole"
r. H. Schenck, counsel for the mag
azine which will undertake the Cook
defense, said today that Doctor Cook
would start sensational suits for libel
against Peary and others because Of
the ridicule he has been burdened with
SlHNe NpfthudS'll uNtf'l-A
that polar discovery honors did not
belong to him.
The magazine undertaking the de-
fense and exploitation of Cook will
challenge another magazine tomorrow
to put the Peary data into the hands
of a committee of four experts who
will pass on the merits of his claims.

ASSESSED VALUATION
STATE Of OKLAHOMA
WILL APPRoxlMAT $92o,ooo,ooo
FOR 1910 - FIFTY MILLIONS
MORE THAN 1909 VALUATION.

Guthrie, okla, July 2S.-That the
assessed valuation of Oklahoma for
1910 will approximate 1920, 100000, or
$50, 900 600 more than the 1909 val
uation is forecasted by the reports
of GO out of 72 counties. Though
the l909.1910 Increase of S5O000000
will not compare with the 19OS-l9O9
increase of $l40,000,000 the increase
of the last year Is very healthy
one. and will compare most favorably
with the growth of assessed vaua-
other states.
The falling off in the percentage
of increase this year as compared
with the increase of the preceding
year is largely in real estate and
personal property. In 1909 the assess
ed valuation of these two classes of
property increased $l20,000O00 over
1908. Public service corporations, the
third class of property, showed an in
crease of $10,OOO,0OO for the same
time.
Real estate and personal property
for 1910, will not show an increase
of much more than 40 million dol
lars and public service corporations
probably about the same as las'
year.
The 1910 assessments show that al
most as many counties have decreas-
ed their real estate and personal
property valuations, as increased. The
date show a total of $57l .007 497
against 1909 valuation for the same
90 counties of $543,9O$.1 1873, or an in
crease for 1910 of % million. OF the
ii counties yet 10 report, however,
is Oklahoma county, where the in
crease will be probably nearly ten
millions alone in real estate and per
sonal property, and the other lG |
counties probably will add 10 mil |
lion more, thus making total in
crease in real estate and personal !
property, as estimated. of l5 million.
Add to this 215 million for public
service corporations as estimated,
and the total for the state is 1923
million.
OF the counties that have report
ed to date, Usage county leads in
an increase of IL million dollars, in
real estate alone; this heavy increase
being due to the great number of
Ind--a allotments in that big county
from which restrictions have been
removed the last year, and which
thus become taxable Muskogee coun-
~ comes second with six and one.
