PEARY PREPARING FIRST REAL RAIN OF i 1ST. LOUIS GETS NEXT
CASE AGAINST COOK 1 SEASON HITS THE VALLEY NATIONAL GUARD-SESSION
BAR HARBOR, Me., Sept. 29.
Commander Peary and General Hub
bard were again in conference today
over the documents which Peary has
fathered from various sources -to
show that Dr. Cook did not reach the
north pole. Commander Peary is anx
ious to make a full statement of the
whole matter, but this will hardly be
done until the officers of the Peary
Arctic club have passed on the state
ment. The equipment of Dr. Cook's
expedition will be described in detail,
and against its alleged accomplish
ment in traveling to the pole and re
turn will be compared the ork of
each expedition of Peary and other
aretie explorers.' Dr. Cook's experi
ence with arctic expeditions, his meth
od of keeping the records and his dis
position of them in part to Harry
VVJiitney, a stranger to him, will play
no ouiiH part in Commander Peary's
statement.

DESERTED WIFE DIES;
LEAVES FIVE CHILDREN
The first real rniustorm since
March deluged southern Oregon on
Tuesday night. Showers were fre
quent Wednesday with predictions
that the storm will continue for sev
eral days.. The rain changed to snow
in the mountains, and the tops of Ash
laud Butte, Wagner peak and Mr.
McLaughlin are white. '
At Medford three-quarters of an
inch of moisture fell and heavier rain
falls are reported at Ashlniyl, Gold
Hill and in the mountains. Pros
pects are that a total of several
inches will fall before the storm
ceases.
Xo damage is reported, but much
good as a result of the storm. Enough
moisture has already fallen to ena
ble farmers to begin fall plowing. The
rain comes just nt the right time for
fruit growers. Early pears have all
been picked and the showers will help
swell and color the apples.
