This action is being arranged in view of the reports that Perry has put his case against Doctor Cook into the hands of a lawyer. Because of the attitude of the two explorers, it appears to many of their friends that the courts and not the scientific societies may decide who discovered the pole. Doctor Cook refused to discuss impending legal proceedings. From another source it was ascer- tained that Doctor Cook is preparing to charge Perry with slander in say- ing that he had give the public a gold brick when he ‘announced that he had found the North Pole and that two other charges would be made in connection with the alleged seizure of Cook’s stores. Friends of both par- ties to the North Pole controversy were unwilling to speak for publica- tion. JEWETT GRADERS.

WILSON ADAMS, Mayor. WM. S. MAHAN, President Board. Livingston, Mont,, Aug. 10, '09. P. J. Jewett, Butler, Mo. Dear Friend Jewett: Iwas outto the ranch for two weeks and while there we set up the road grader, a Jewett, and proceeded Mr. Mahan Alderman, and President of the Board of Alderman, of the City of Adrian, Missouri, say that the city purchased of P. J. Jewett one of his sand-gumbo road, the first in Mis- souri, has just been built in Mississip- picounty. It is one mile long and extends north of Charleston. The road was built as an experiment by Curtis Hill, state highway engineer. Sand-clay roads have been in use several years in the state of Missis- sippi and other places where they have proven successful. The road at Charleston was a sand bottom in which wagon wheels often went to the hub. The first work was to clean out the ditches so that it could be perfectly drained. Then a trough 16 feet wide was made. Gumbo was hauled and placed in this trough and mixed with the sand, The mixing was done by plows, disc harrows and tooth harrows, A sprinkler was used to get the gumbo wet. All was mixed together and then the road was rolled. In time this mixture hardened so that it be- came cemented together in such a manner as to turn water. “T am trying to build ‘roads out of the materials at hand with the small- est expense possible,” said Mr. Hill today. “There are six counties in Southeast Missouri, known as the lowlands, where there is no rock to construct roads. They have plenty of sand and gumbo. This is what we | have tried down at Charleston.” “These roads are not expensive. It cost less than $1,000 to build the |mile down in Mississippi county,” said Mr. Hill. ‘The money was rais- ed by donations solicited by J. Rus- sell Ellis, the county highway engi- neer. J. E. Warner, the engineer of Scott connty, saw the work done and he is now raising money for a road in his county on the north.” The county courts of only sixteen counties in Missouri took advantage of the law passed by the last legisla- ture, and levied a special road tax of twenty-five cents on the $100 valua- tion, according to the state highway engineer. These counties are Bollin- ger, Cole, Cedar, Harrison, Howard, Jasper, Mississippi, Monroe, Newton, St. Clair, Saline, Schuyler, Stoddard, Webster and Worth. Twenty-nine other counties assessed a portion of the levy. Nine counties of Missouri have township organizations and the spe- cial road tax creates a township in- stead of a county fund. They are Bates, Carroll, Chariton, DeKalb, Henry, Mercer, Nodaway, Sullivan and Vernon. The special road tax creates a fund under the control of the county court. It is assessed against all the property in the county, The general road tax, which may he 20 cents on the $100 valuation is assessed against property not incorporate limits of towns and PERU stD FOR KIDNEY GATAARE, : Gen.

The peach harvest in the Ozarks is half over and the crop in the Koch- konnong and §t..Elmo districts of South Missouri turned'out much better both as to quality and quantity than had been expected.
