DEBT OF BIG CITIES.
In 15S of Them 1t Amounts to $1,71S,-
100000.

Washington. July 2s.-The enormous
sum of 81, 718000,0o0 is owed by the 1873
cities In the country having each a
population of more than 60, 900. The fig
ures show net Indebtedness and are
given out by the census bureau as a
result of its canvass for 1908.
Inc same authority finds that of this
sum New York owes $6S4,000,000 or al
most 40 per cent of the aggregate. This
IS more than seven times the amount
OF the net indebtedness of any other
city and more than one-half of the to-
tai amount owed by the % next larg-
est cities in the country. 1t also is
shown that of the $275, 100000 spent for
improvements in the 158 cities in 1908,
New York expended more than $50 000,-
900 or nearly one-third the entire sum.
OF the total debt increase for the year,
$lS5,S77.S56, nearly one-half is credited
tic New York. The per capita indebt-
edness of New York also is much
ceeding $157 as compared with $12S for
Cincinnati, $119 for Boston and $113 for
Galveston, the other cities making the
nearest approach.
1t is pointed - that a large pro-
portion of the New York Improvement
expenditures have been for public SER
vice conveniences. The betterment of
the water system, the construction of
toll bridges, and other self supporting
services are responsible for 81 per cent
OF the total net debt of the metropolis.
OF the cities exceeding 100000 popula-
ton, Detroit has the smallest per capita
debt. $26; but Indianapolis falling below
100000 makes an improvement with
debt of only about SIT to the person.
In the matter of the payments for
improvements in 1908. Chicago took
rank next to New York, the total for
the Illinois city being SIS, 095, 1856. Phila-
Gelphia's expenditure was $14473, 1884, OF
the total expenditures for all the cities
about one-third was for improved pub
lie service and another third for high

BEYOND PEARY'S
T NORTH
The Explorer Tells How He
Planned His Marches.

In the clear, precise, day-by-
day detail of the July chapter OF
his story in Hampton's Magazine.
which covers the journey across
the polar ice to beyond his prev
ious Farthest North, Peary S
places before the world tie in
disputable proofs, not only OF
his own success, but of the i'm
possibility of discovering the Pole
by any other method. Peary's
own especially devised march
ing system was responsible for
his success and in the following
language he outlines his march
ing program:
At the end of this march, on
the evening of the 18th, while the
Eskimos were building the igloos,
| outlined to the remaining mem
bers of my party, Bartlett, Mar
win, Borup, and Henson, the pro
gram which | should endeavor to
follow.
AT the end of the next march
(which would be five marches
from where Mcmillan and the
Doctor turned back Borup would
return with three Eskimos,
twenty dogs, and one sledge, leav-
ing the main party twelve men,
ten sledges, and eighty dogs,
Five marches farther on, Mar
vim would return with two Es-
kimos, twenty dogs, and one
sledge, leaving the main party
nine men, seven sledges, and
sixty dogs.
Five marches farther on, Bart
lett would return with two Els
kimos, twenty dogs, and one
sledge, leaving the main party
six men, forty dogs, and five
Sledges.
| hoped that with good wealth
er, and the ice no worse than it
had been thus far, Borup might
get beyond IS degrees, Marvin
beyond eighty-six degrees, and
beyond 81 degrees north.
At the end of each five-march
| should send back the
poorest dogs, the least effective
and the worst damaged
sledges.
This program was carried out,
and the farthest north of each
was even better than
had hoped.

grown with varying success in
scattered spots in Missouri. AT
Weston, in the western part OF
the state, for instance, some sue
cess has been met with ON a rath-
er large scale.
At a recent Land Congress held
at lronton, Mo-, the fact was
brought out by the State agricul-
'ural experts that the soil sur
founding lrOnton was adapted
particularly to White Burnley to-
bacco.
In dozens of instances the
plant was seen f~lourishing in the
gardens of the farmers there a
bout, being raised merely for
own consumption. In three in
stances, farmers are carrying on
tobacco growing there on a large
scale. Last year one man had
twenty acres of tobacco in cult
walton, from which his net profit
was 5000.
One principal in fa~rming--or
IN any other business, for that
matter lis the consideration of
the cost of land, or property, in
proportion to what it will pro-
duce, the nearness to a good mar
ket and the consequent differ
ence, and therefore profit, in the
freight rates.
lronton is a trifle more than
ninety miles south and a little
west Of st. Louis, on the Iron
Mountain railroads trunk line. 1t
nestles in the Arcadia valley,
some distance in the Ozark Noun
tains. Thus, being on the main
line of the railroad, and within
three hours ride Of st. Louis, the
market and transportation ques-
tons are answered satisfactorily.
The soil has even more in its
favor. In many places it is of
a red of great richness and life,
such as is to be found in the best
tobacco regions Of Kentucky.
This kind Of soil puts a desirable
finish on the leaf and produces in
it a superior quality and flavor.
There is a dark soil, also in the
same region, having a foundation
of limestone silt which experts
think is highly adapted to
tobacco.
c. L. Head of Salisbury, Mo-.
who has grown tobacco in Ken
and Missouri for the last
t%wenty-six years, recently visited
lronton on the invitation Of sew
eral citizens to examine the soil
and climatic conditions of Iron
county as would affect tobacco.
He reported that there was a lot
good tobacco land in and
around lronton and Arcadia.
Tobacco is an exceedingly prof
crop, and it is managed
easily. 1t can be grown with
corn, or with other crops, with
out interference.
The eheapness and richness of
the land around Ironton is at
tracing Kentucky tobacco grow
land in Kentucky-land no bet
ter than that in Iron county
ranges up to $3.50 an acre. In
Iron county, the best land can be
had for $50 an acre, all cleared
and sometimes broke.
Abount ten acres is all one man
can take care Of without help at
the harvest time. But, with a
profit Of from $500 to 800 an
acre, one can well afford to en-
as many men as one has
to handle.

CANNON HITS AT
THE LOBBYISTS
SAYS THEY MAKE EXCELLENT
sERVANTs BUT MIGHTY
POOR MASTERS.
TEDDY AS PRESS AGENT
MEN OF ONE IDEA ARE GOOD,
BUT 1T is UNCOMFORTABLE
WATCHING THEM.

Washington.-"Men who ride hob.
bies' make excellent servants but
mighty poor masters" This declara.
ton avs made Tuesday night by
Speaker Cannon at the "hobby" night
entertainment at the National Pres
Club here.
Among the "hobbyists". who spoke
during the evening, Uncle Joe" being
reserved until the last, were Willis l..
Moore of the Weather Bureau; DIR.
Harvey Wiley of pure food fame; Gift
ford Pinchot, still Chief of the For
estry of the United States" according
to The Introduction given him by Hen
ry Hall, presiding officer of the even
ing; Commander Peary of North Pole
renown. and Champ Clark, minority
leader in the House.
Speaker Cannon, who during the
evening sat listening with close at
tention to the other speakers and
smoking big black cigars, declared
that his "hobby" was watching other
mems hobbies" THE men of one
idea," he declared, are all good men,
and he wished them success and long
life, although at makes one uncom-
Portable often in watching them"
Taking up those who had preceded
him, he declared that DIR. Wiley was
all right, but that If he had been al
lowed to have his o.n way entirely he
would have everybody afraid to eat
anything, for fear of being poisoned:
that conservation was a good thing,
hut hot be, ne Il ,n ~
coal being consumed or all the tim
ber being used up, and that much had
been done in the way of conservation,
from practical standpoint, for many
years; and as for Commander Peary,
he was glad a Caucasian had reached
the Pole, but, while Commander Peary
had the glory, DIR. Cook had the
money.
Former President Roosevelt he
called 1.-The greatest press agent that
ever lived" He asserted that more
good legislation had been passed dur
ing his seven years in the White
House than during any other similar
period in the history of the United
States except during the Civil War.
But suppose we had passed all the
laws that he recommended in his mes
sages," said Mr.. Cannon, "the budget
of the country would be many times
what it is now
Commenting on the coming congress
sional campaign in Illinois Speaker
Cannon declared that he did not know
whether he would get back to Con-
gress or not. Then, hesitating mo-
ment, he added. ANYWAY, there will
be a lively time of it."

scenes of "The Revelation" his latest

OF the history of the creation and de-
