From Chile Concerning Husband.

dav from Mrs Cook dated Valparaiso,
Chile. in which she says the explorer
is broken in health, without funds and
unable to continue his fight to estab-
fish his claim that he discovered the
pole DR. Axtell said today:
Mrs. Cook tells me in her letter
that Cook made considerable money
out of his trip when he first arrived in
New York but that he spent it in de-
Tending himself against bitter attacks
of his enemies before the Copenhag-
en- decision was made public.
Cook left New York late to escape
contumely, says Mrs. Cook, and to go
before the board of inquiry at Copen-
hagen as his own representative. Then
Mrs. Cook followed him, met him in
England. found him a nervous wreck
and very i'll.
she writes that it was her fault
that Cook did not appear publicly at
the time he was unfavorably reported
on. She says she took him to Holland,
France, Italy and then to Spain. where
they embarked for Buenos Ayres.
From Buenos Ayres they went
around Cape Horn to Chile. Cook is
still very i'll and will be in no condition
to take up his fight for the honors,
which he still says should have been
his
Dr. Axtell added that according to
the letter the explorer and his family
will arrive quietly in New York to-
morrow and win settle down for
quiet life.
Mrs. Cook says" he continued. that
her husband has no funds with when
to so to the Arctic regions after the
proofs required by the University OF
Copenhagen and that if he had the
necessary cash he knows of no one he
could trust to do the work for him.

The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1910-01-13

The Independent notes with pleasure that
the editorial associations Of several of our
states have passed resolutions condemning
the action of the government in furnishing
stamped envelopes for less than local printer
les can secure the stock, to say nothing of the
work of printing the return card upon them.
This is unfair competition and the people are
beginning to realize it. The North Dakota
Association ought to take this matter up at
their Fargo meeting and pass similar reso-
hutton. Publishers everywhere would do well
to notify their Senators and Representatives
that this action is generally condemned and
refuse to support anyone who will not pledge
themselves to do their uttermost to see that
this nefarious practice is stopped. The pub
put on stamped envelopes, for, in many in
stances, they are convenient, but we do want
to see the government charge fair price for
thenl-a price that would give printers an op-
portunity to compete with the government.
Isn't this perfectly fair? The government
has awakened to the fact that there is deficit
of $17, 600, 900 in the postal service during the
year 1909 OF course there is, and we can
tell Uncle Sam where several millions of the
not really do the printing of these emu elopes,
itself, but lets the job out to a big Ohio print
ing concern. This printery receives fair
price for the work, much more than the gov
eminent gets out of it, and right here is
where much of the deficit comes from. The
practice will be stopped in time and the soon
er concerted action is taken, the quicker will
a Legitimate price be asked for the govern
nent work. If Uncle Sam really wants to
the wholesale paper business, and give us
struggling publishers an opportunity to buy
print paper for less than the cost of manu-
facture?

What is known as the coal rate case''
will be argued before the supreme court of
the United States in Washington on Feb. Fl.
Attorney General Miller and Judge Corliss
will appear for the state. The case is one
where it is charged that the roads of the
state are charging excessive rates for the
transportation of coal. The state won the
original case and the railroads carried it up
to the supreme court. The companies in
volved have put up bond for refund of the
rates charged OF er what will be determined
as the lawful charge if they lose the case. In
case the lower court is affirmed by the SUI
prene judges the dealers who have been re-
ceiving shipments will be entitled to consid.
cradle rebate. The Independent will wager
dollars to doughnuts that the railroads will
win out in the Supreme Court, whether thew
are in the right or not.
The government will soon start the weigh
ing Of mail in several Of the states, of which
ours is one. The mail will be weig he'd for
period '1O5 days. in an effort to determ:
whether or not the'raroads are being over
paid for carving the nails The average
railroad contract for this service is S42. rs for
every 200 pounds. of mail, carried daily over
tae entire length o. the line An effort will .je
made to show that the railroads are not max
ing excessive profits from this work.
In Grand Forks county in 1909, twelve d.
