PEARY TELLS HIS ETHRY Sends a Message Giving Date of Passing Various Points in the Far North. The London Times of Wednesday morning published the following message from Commander Peary, dated Battle Harbor, via wireless, to Cape Ray, Sept. 8: “The Roosevelt left, New York July (3, 1908. She left Sydney July 17, at Cape York, Greenland. Au- gust 1, left Etah, Greenland, Au- gust 8, arrived at Cape Shoridan, Grant Land. September 1, and Wintered at Cape Sheridan. Tlm oledge expedition left, the Rooso volt February 15. 1909, and started north of Cape Columbia, March A. 13 passed the British record on March 2, was delayed by open water March 2 and 3, was held up by open water from March 4 to March 11, crossed the 84th parallel March 11, and encountered an open lead March 15; crossed the 85th parallel on March 18, crossed the 86th parallel March 22, and en- countered an open lead March 23; passed the Norwegian record March 23: passed the Italian record March 24, and encountered an open lead March 26; Crossed the 87th parallel March 27; passed the Amâ€" erican record March 28, and onâ€" conntored a lead March 28; held up ly open water March 29; crossed the 88L!) parallel April 2, crossed Hm 89th parallel April 4. and reach- ed the North Pole April 6. “On returning we left; the Pole April 7; reached Cape Columbia April 23, arriving on board the “Roosevelt April 27. The Rooseâ€" velt left Cape Sheridan July 18. passed Cape Sabine August 8, left (Tape York August 26, and arrived an Indian Harbor. “All the members of the expedi‘ tion are returning in good health. except Prof. Ross G. Marvin, who unfortunater drowned at Prillo. 15 miles north of Cape Columbia, while returning from 86 degrees north latitude, in command of a supporting party.” A despatch from Copenhagen says: It is useless to swbmit the most scathing despatches reflecting on him to Dr. Cook, for he simply smiles, says they are untrue and refuses to discuss them further. He has an air of perfect, confidence without a touch of braggadocio. Daring Burglary Committed Near Three Rivers. ' A dcspatch from Montreal says: A most daring bank robbery occur- red at Yamachiche. near Three Rivers, at two o’clock on Friday morning, when the vault of the branch of the Provincial Bank of Canada was dynamited and $4,800 stolen. The manager of the branch at. Yamachiche. Mr. Belmnre. claims that he fired several shots ‘tr frighten them away, but they did not- leave until they had cleared the vault. Three charges of dyna- mite were used. Oltawa Lineman Sufl‘crs Severe In- juries. A despatch from Ottawa, says: John Courveti’e, a lineman employâ€" ed by the Ottawa Electric Cum- 'A dcspatch from Ottawa says: 'A statement of the farm crop: of Canada at the end of August was issued by the Census and Statistics Oflice on Friday. It gives the esâ€" timates of production, computed from the reports of a large staff of correspondents, and, although the totals are. somewhat; less than those M a munth ago for wheat and bar- ley, they still show that; Canada has reaped a large_harvest_. His only reply to Commander Peary's despatch stating that he had not gone out of sight of land was this statement: FARM CHAPS 0F CANADA The wheat crop is put down at 168,386,000 bushels, or 21.73 bush- eis per acre, and barley at 56,975,â€" 000 bushels, or 30455 bushels per acre. The yield of oats, which was Conditions at End of August Show That a Large Crop Has Been Harvested. FELL 40 FEET FROM POLE. BANK SAFE DYNAMITED. COOK SAYS NOTHING. “I have been to the North Pole. A: I said on Tuesday night when I heard of Commander Peary’s sucâ€" cess, if he says he has been to the Pole I believe him. “I am willing to place factstfig- mes, and workedâ€"out observations before a joint tribunal of the scien< Llfic bodies of the world. In due course I shall be prepared to make public an announcement; that will effectually dispel any doubt, if there can be such, of the fact that I have reached the P010. But, knowing that I am right and that right. must prevail, I will submit at the pro- per time my full story to the court of last resort-the people of the wofld.” A despatch from St. John's, Nfld., via North Sydney, says: The steamer Taff, fish laden, from Battle Harbor to St. John’s ar- rived on Sunday evening. Capt. Neilsen report's having harbored with the Roosevelt Wednesday and Thursday last. He had several in- terviews with Commander Peary, whom, with all the party. he re- ports as in good health and spirits, the only shadow over the whole enâ€" terprise being the death of Prof. Marvin. Capt. Neilsen is greatly impressed with the truth of Peal'y’s story of the expedition. . 1 Peary claims with assurancethat he brings the indubitable proofs of the absolute truth of his claims that he has accomplished his aim Hf reaching the Pole. Peary strove hard to get south to give the world the news before Cgok, a_nd pro- ciaiin the latter a falsifier, but was unable to do so. He had also the ill luck to run the Roosevelt- on a rock in entering Battle Harbor, “here she stuck till high water. This will compel her to spend a fortnight there, and she will be taken to Assizes Harbor, repaired, refitted and painted, to remove the scars of her Polar conflict. before proceeding to New York. The crew are so weakened from hard work and cares that 24 new men have been engaged for this work. Peary forbids the answering of the mesâ€" sages received daily asking for news. When the Taft left the party were anticipating that ship loads of American pressmen would come north, as the messages that were being received indicated that, the whole United States was ablaze with this controversy. 'I‘IIA NKSGIVIN G pany, met with What may prove to he a. fatal accident while at work on Wednesday morning. He was on a telegraph pole, near the cen» tral station, at the east end of the Sappers bridge, when it broke near the top and Courvette foil to the pavement, 40 feet. His fall was somewhat broken by the wires, but he sustained severe injuries, and his back is probably broken. The pole was quite an old one and there was a large hole near the top.

A dospatch from Ottawa says: The Government have issued a pro; Clamation appointing Oct. 25th as Thanksgiving Day. not estimated last month, is given as 354,919,000 buashels, peas 8,184,â€" 000 bushels, beans, 1,311,000 hush» (-ls; buckwheat, 7,794,000 bushels; mixed grains, 19,524,000 bushels; (laxseed, 2,131,000 bushels, and hay, 10,246,000 tons. Harvesting opora~ tions were practically concluded at the end of August, except in Que- Luce and the Maritime Provinces, and although there was a scarcity of labor in the Northwest, the fine weather them made tho cutting of grain practicable in good condition.

The boat went aground about 7 o’clock on Saturday night, and it was not until 8 o’clock on Sunday morning that it was re- leased and the party, half dead from cold and fright, taken off.

Officers Destroy a Large Quantity of Beer at Elk Lake. A despatch from Elk Lake says: Inspector Blackwell Haileyhury, and Constable Calheck, Cobalt, came on Wednesday night’s boat to destroy condemned liquor. At 9 on Thursday morning one hundred and sixty kegs and barrels of beer, valued at fifteen hundred dollars, were rolled down to the river and destroyed, while all the town look- ed on. The stuff was seized from Mr. Trudel of the Mint Hotel. Someone began singing the dox- oiogy. and some of the crowd col- lected the beer from the partially emptied kegs and passed it around.

While Mrs. Smith’s death was not unexpected, on account of her advanced age, yet the news vsill come as a severe shock to the large circle of friends who knew her. On August 31, Mrs. Smith took a slight chill, but nothing more’ than extreme age was the immedi-l ate cause of her demise.

Their daughter Ruth,; aged five years, was taken ill of- (Yiphtheria and a doctor was called.‘ They permitted the house being. placarded, but would not allow him to administer treatment.
