COOK MAY SPEAK
At VALLEY CITY

Valley City, N. D.. June 2s.-The
Chautauqua association committee is
considering the matter of securing DIR.
Frederick A. Cook, the arctic explorer,
to lecture here during the assembly A
number OF persons have been consulted
as to the advisability Of having the
doctor come, and the large majority
are favorable. Aside from anyone's
belief as to whether Cook reached the
north pole or not, no one can accuse
him of being a 'knocker." Cook never
knocked Peary, Notwithstanding he was
the subject of the most ungentlemanly
and villianous abuse from Peary and
his friends. There is no doubling the
fact that DR.. Cook spent years within
the arctic circle; and whether he was
there to honestly seek the north pole
or not, the story Of his hardships and
suffering, and the wild scenes Of the
polar regions is just as authentic and
interesting as any that could be told
by Peary-even though we may believe
that he never actually reached the
north pole

Fersus FaIIs Auto cIub.

At well attended meeting of the
Fergus Falls Automobile club, Monday
night, money was appropriated for the
use of the good roads committee and
membership cards were issued.
The president was authorized to
name committee to meet and escort
the st. Paul to Helena tourists through
this region. The st. Paul to Helena
run will be the most notable automo-
bile tour Of the summer, and it is felt
that committee of local autoists
should go to Alexandra to meet the
tourists and escort them to Fergus
Falls and possibly beyond.
One of the summer tours will be a
run to Fargo by way Of Rothsay and
GAINESVILLE.

MAUD MULLER in
North DAKOTA
HEROINE OF WHlTTlEa's FAMOUS.
POEM LIVES AT DIES Laos
RAREFooTED BOY, NEPHEW or
WHITTIER, LIVES IN MlNNEAP-
OILS.

Minneapolis Journal: The original
of Whittiers barefoot boy with
cheek of tan" lives in Minneapolis. He
is Harry C. Whittier. 400 Palace
building, grand nephew of John Green
leaf whittier.
Mr. Whittier yesterday was induced
to admit that he furnished the inspir-
alton for the poem, being addicted in
youth both to bare feet and tan. He
also admitted he still is partial to
cheek of TAM" and that once upon
time the barefoot feature was his
particular joy. The gift of song, how
ever, he emphatically denied.
Il prefer to write prose-something
one is paid for he said. Mr.. Whittier
writes advertisements.
"Maud Muller"
In the northwest lives another origi-
nal of Whittier's poems, according to
Mr.. Whittier. Maud Muller" who
raked the meadows fresh with hay"
and saw the judge ride away to town,
lives at Des Laos, N. d. Maud Null
ler," who was a girl of marked beau
ty when she lived in Massachusetts,,
near the Whittier home, now is more
than so years DID, Mr.. Whittier re-
ceived a letter from her some time
ago, and when he was at Minot two
years ago, was asked by her son to
pay her a visit, but was prevented by
business from doing so. So far as Mr..
Whittier knows, she is alive.
Mr.. Whittier was born on the Whit
tier homestead at Amesbury. where
the poet lived for many years, and it
was there that he entered into the US
ual boyish activities at the barefoot
age, Mr.. Whittier was about years
old when the poem was written
Il did not think much of being the
original of the poem them" said Mr..
Whittier yesterday. Indeed, the fact
that Uncle John, as / called him,
was poet, did not make strong inn
preston on my youthful mind. / mere
ly thought of him as Uncle John and
a mighty good uncle.
IF I had realized fully that he
was destined to become famous my
impressions of him might have been
stronger. AS / remember him, he
looked much like the best known pic
lures of him, with his gentle, kindly
face and white beard 1t is strange
the things which impress a boy. I
remember his beard was my especial
delight"
Mr. Whittier has. lived in Minneap-
oils four years. In 1906 he was presi-
dent of the Industrial exposition at
Portland.

Tells HOW SUGAR
TRUST WAS BEATEN

Washington, ID. c., June 2S.-William
G. Gilmore, managing partner of Ar
buckle Bros. of Brooklyn, resumed the
stand today in the house sugar trust
investigation and described the war
made on the American Sugar Refining
Co. by his firm In 1889.
The Arbuckles began manufacturing
refined sugar in 1898 and since then
have been independent of the trust.
I'VE cut the price twenty five points
under the trust price, soon after We
started, in West Virginia and Ohio"
said Gilmore, because the trust sought
to induce the wholesale grocers to buy
exclusively from the American.
I'VE kept the price down four or
five months and got the business in
thosesstates. Eventually the prices re-
turned to normal but the American
never did get back all its business in
those states

Chicago Gcssip.

Chicago, June 2S.-It looked to the
wheat traders last night as IL the bull
leaders had made the advance to gle
for July by buying through one set Of
houses and selling on the advance
through another. Houses which have
the largest lines Of July wheat led the
buying and the short interests were
larger than expected. 1t is said that
the bull leaders are likely to make
heavy deliveries Of cash wheat in the
first week in July. Should they fail
70 take it back the trade will be bene
fitted, as the big holding has been a
menace because on every bulge buyers
have been filled up. 1t is said that
all that the local shorts were in at the
close and many of the professionals
were long. Inter- Ocean.

The FARGO DEATH
RATE DECREASING
REPORTS SHOW THAT DEATH
RATE OF THE CITY HAS DE-
CREASED ALMOST so PER CENT
SINCE LAST YEAR = SPEAKS
WELL FOR THE CITY.

The death rate of the city of Fargo
so far for this year has decreased al
most so per cent of the amount as
shown last year.
The books of the city auditor show
that the number of deaths for the year
up until today reach a total Of ninety
five for the first six months During
the same period last year the total
number Of deaths registered were 1875.
making forty less deaths this year for
the period, than there were last year.
The decrease in the death rate
speaks very highly for the city as well
as the hospitals Of Fargo. Many peo-
pie from over the state and western
Minnesota are brought to the numer-
Gus hospitals in Fargo every year for
treatment and some of these die here
which has helped keep the death rate
higher than it should be for city
of this size. The fact that the citi-
zens Of Fargo alone are much more
healthy than last years is shown
on the books that fewer number OF
Fargo people have died during the
period for this year, than last year
The number of births in the CITY
have increased over that of last wear
According to the books Of the auditor
there have been six more children
born so far in Fargo this year. than
Tor the same period a year ago.

on the advance the offerings became

Weather conditions were considered
more favorable, particularly In the

cratic as at present, it is hard to form
an opinion, but we are rather inclined
to favor purchases on weak spots
