said:

Campbell, the dry farming expert.
This work has been inaugurated
among the farmers in the dry sections

with Professor ]. D. Tinsley in charge.
THE hoped for results" says the
commissioner, ARE a thorough de-
monstration OF the practical worth of
the Campbell system in the Pan Han
die, and stimulus to the already es-
tablished settlers to agricultural pro

sley is in getting the farmer to apply
to crops grown for profit the prin-

BACK FROM THE NORTH.
Harry Whitney Finds Nothing in DR.
Cooks Hut.

New Haven, Conn, Sept. Harry
Whitney, the sportsman who. with
Paul Rainey of Cleveland sailed for
the Arctic regions last June to hunt,
have returned, and the party not only
brought back with them the live game
they went after. but moving pictures
OF walruS, musk OK. polar bear and
fox hunts, besides scenes of Esquimaux
life. The party, which was in COM
mand of Capt. Bartlett, who accom-
panied Peary on his successful North
pole expedition, took with them NOV
ing picture apparatus in charge of a
professional. Besides these, Mr.. Whit
ney personally secured several hundred
negatives.
According to Mr.. Whitney, the ex-
petition was most successful, the party
bringing back with them live speci-
mems of the musk OK, the walrus, polar
bear and blue fox, besides many skins.
The hunters visited Sparbo, the
camp of DR.. Cook, and found there the
hut in which the Brooklyn physician
lived. No data of any sort were dis
covered, merely the shell of the hut
remaining. This was made of make
shift material, with whalebones sup
porting the roof and the sides and
no time on the journey, according to
Capt. Bartlett, did anything come to
light which would tend to substantiate
in any way DR.. Cooks we'll known tale
of pole discovery.
1.-THE northern point reached by US, .
said Mr.. Whitney. was 1920, and at
this latitude 1 planted the New Haven
Yacht club flag. which l took with me
at the request of my club. Going up,
we took on our EsQuimaux guides,
eleven in all. Five of these were men
who went with Peary on his last trip,
and three accompanied him to the
pole. Our finds were made in what
is called Ellesmere land. which is a
little south of where the Roosevelt
wintered."
Whitney declined to discuss DR.. Cook
or the records that he is alleged to
have left at Etah. He said:
1--WE anchored at Etah, but neither
nor any members of the crew went
ashore there. We did, however, meet
the Danish Arctic explorer. Rasmus-
den, in North Greenland. He is going
to winter there for three years and is
going over the ice heaps"

ABOVE THE RIVER sas FEET.
Southern Pacific Builds One of High
est I'm World,

viaduct, Tex. Sept. 1.-THE South
ern Pacific railroad is constructing a
new bridge over the Pecos river here
to replace the one erected fifteen
years ago 1t is stated that the new
structure will be one of the highest
railroad bridges in the world. The
track will be 32S feet above high
water mark of the river. The new
bridge will be 20S0 feet long. 1t is of
steel and of much heavier type than
the old bridge. The heavy increase
of traffic of the Southern Pacific and
the use of larger and heavier locomo-
tives were the causes that led to the
decision to bridge the Pecos river
with a stronger structure. 1t is ex-
pected that the new bridge will be
finished in about four months. The
construction work is being carried on
rapidly and with no interruption of
the regular traffic over the road.
There are but two higher bridges
than this one in the world. One of
these is in France and the other in
Peru. The Pecos river at this point
flows through a great slit in the earth.
From the top of the bridge the
stream in the depth of the canyon far
below appears no wider than small
brook.

INHERITANCE TAX WAR.
Mrs. Sankey, Wichita Widow, Starts
Movement to Have 1t Repealed.

Working towards the repeal of the
inheritance tax law of Kansas, Mrs
Emma Sankey, widow of Judge Robt.
A. Sankey, whose estate is one of the
largest yet probated in Sedgwick
county, is making a state wide can
vass for signatures to petitions being
sent to every town in the state. Judge
Sankey's estate amounts to $137,
Mrs. Sankey will use all her eff
forts to have the law repealed before
the tax becomes due. Her husband
died in the spring of this year. The
inheritance tax payment falls due one
year from the date of death.
The petition which has been drawn
by Judge Helm of Wichita, at the re-
quest of Mrs. Sankey, will be sent to
influential members of the state leg
iSlature, in order that they may re-
peal the inheritance tax law. 1t is
as follows:
ITO the Legislature of the State of
Kansas:
1.-The undersigned petitioners. citi-
zens of the state of Kansas, respectful
ly petition your honorable body to
pass an act at the next general ses-
sion of the legislature repeating chap
ter 248 of the session laws of Kansas
for the year 1909, said act being en-
titled: An act to provide for the as
sessment and taxtion of legacies and
SUGGESTIONS, and to prescribe the man
ner and method by which to collect
the taxes for which such provision is
herein made for the reason that the
tax provided for in said act is unjust
and oppressive to widows and orphans
of this state.
Your petitioners believe that said
act is entirely out of harmony with
the principles and provisions contain
ed in our state constitution intended
to protect the interests of the home
and family, and that such law ought
not to have any place upon the statutes
OF our state"
Mrs. Sankey's reasons and argu-
ments are best stated in the following
extract from the letter which she is
sending to the banks where she is
sending the petitions to be signed:
New York has a similar law with
an exemption of one million dollars
while in Kansas our exemption is but
five thousand dollars, which taxes ali
estates, working a hardship on the
widows and children. This tax he
comes a lien on the property and re-
mains such until paid.
With the present exception every
family owning farm or other nron-
erty sooner or later becomes a sinh
Ject to this tax.
Judge Wilson of the district court
of Sedgwick county, called nv atten-
ton to a case at Abilene, Kan. The
husband and wife were taken sick
about the same time. Thirty davs 10.
ter the husband died, the estate he.
coming taxable. Forty days later his
widow died. the estate again becomine
taxable, leaving the children to nav
a double tax, which was assessed ir
less than three months time.
There are three hundred of these
petitions In circulation in Kansas

OF INTEREST TO CREDITORS.
Texas Bill Protecting Unsecured

texas Dill IIOtONeAhS -
Claims to Become Law Soon.
Austin, Texas, Sept. 1.-THE bill
that Iegalizes unsecured claims of rail-
roads when in receivership hands has
been finally passed by the legislature
with the necessary two-thirds major
ity to put it into effect Immediately
upon the governors signature. NO
measure considered at this speclal
session of the legislature aroused more
interest among the railroads and out
side investors in these properties.
While the bill was aimed specifically
at the International and Great North
ern, which has about $1,5OO,OOO OF
unsecured claims, exclusive OF ABOUT
s4,OOO,OOO loaned it by the Goulds,
outstanding against it, its provisions
are of general application. 1t is not
improbable that other Texas railroads
will have to undergo reorganization in
order to conform to the stock and
bond law when their present ouLStand-
ing excessive bond issues mature, IN
which event they may have to follow
the receivership course and ind them
selves in the same predicament as the
International and Great Northern
At any rate the bill was vigorously
opposed by the general attorneys OF
all the principal railroads of the state
The assertion was freely made by the
opponents of the measure that its en-
actment would put stop to railroad
construction in Texas and would be
a serious blow to other investments in
this state. There was a general feel
ling on the part of members of the
legislature and others that the Inter
national and Great Northern should
be made to pay its unsecured debts.
large part of the $1,500,OOO out
standing against it are affirmed Judg-
ments in personal injury cases. A con-
siderable amount of other damage
claims and labor accounts is embraced
