Entered at the poslolhco at Orovllle, Washing*
ton. as second class matter.
It is evident from the disputation
growing out of the discovery of the
north pole that the scientific gentle
man and Arctic explorer is altogether
human, even if almost canonized by
the gaping multitude. He is jealous,
envious, and predisposed to i)iiestion
life sincerity and truthfulness of rivals
in the same Held. The lifSt words from
Deary after announcement of his suc
cess in accomplishing the end he lias
so long sturdily striven for was a de
nial that Dr. took ever reached the
pole. In liio early stages of verbal
conflict Dr. Cook certainly had the ad
vantage and won respect by Ids digni
ty of attitude and mildness of expres
sion. Egotism is not a wanting <|tiali
ty in men who are striving for popular
applause, anil as neither of the pole
tinders seem deficient in that respect
some friction was to lie expect where
rival claims for a great accomplish
ment are set. up alums, simultaneously,
yet it is greatly to ho deplored that
such a grand event should be marred
by unseemly wrangling. That Dr.
Cook was not fortified with indisput
able proof of the success of ids under
taking when he returned from the icy
desolation of the north is without Ques
tion, yet until there is stongec evi
dence presented of the falsity of the
claim than the simple denial made by
Deary, his statements are as worthy of
belief its those of Deary. If both men
reached the pole they accomplished
what men have died trying to do, and
others undergone untold suffering in
woeful failues, and the honor is snlli
cient to insure them both a place in
history for till time to come. There is
honor enough in winning after three
centuries of failure, even if divided in
two. it is a source of gratification to
know that Americans were the lirsl
to lind the pole, although the public
may have reason to regret that both
men did not lose their lives in the
effort if a long drawn out unseemly
controversy is to be the resuit of the
climb to the top of the world.
Kdwarb 11. Haukiman, rnilroad
magnate, linuneier, mill ion ire has an
swered the dread summons that comes
at last to one and all of us. lie died
last Thursday, and for all the immense
power and influence lie wielded in ids
life tiuie the world moved on with no
more a halt than when the breath
leaves thy nostrils of the humblest
beggar. Harriman was a forceful,
resourceful man of affairs who accom
plished thing's he set his mind upon,
a brilliant organizer, and a power that
made itself felt in the charmed chide
of finance. In a period of the world’s
history when gigantic combinations of
interests is made possible to the end of
building up colossal fortunes, and ex
cising a power and authority possessed
by few potentates, private individuals
with i lie brawn of intellect, the fore
thought to grasp opportunity, and keen,
courageous, pushing enterprise are
able to reach such a position of power
and ascendency as that gained by this
man just passed away. There is no
record that ho used the great ability
and influence he possessed for the up
lifting or betterment of humanity, and
hence the world is no better because
of his having lived. He was success
ltd in a worldly sense because the ele
ments were in him. and the opportun
ities were at hand, to win success, and
he bent all of his great energies to
t hat one end.
And there are miracles in the land
even unto this day. Colville has gone
dry. The ancient tmd shire city of
Stevens county has fallen before the
onslaught of the prohihs, and King
Alcohol has taken to the brush. There
is gloom in the camp of the wets, and
great is the rejoicing of the advocates
of water straight. The Hat Inis gone
forth, and henceforth all joyful mix
tures are tabooed. Now silence broods
where once with boistrous wassail guy
roisterers shortened the hours ut night
and dull care was pul to route by look
ing on the wine when it was red. No
more the clink of glass proclaims the
tossing off of social nip. No more the
foaming tankard plays its part in pledge
of fellowship. The discarded growler
is cast away to swell the scrap heap,
and the boozer hoozeth not where erst
while booze was plentiful. Gamhranus
has laid aside his sceptre, and water is
now king in ( o! ville.
r i lUN tv ol the lost opportunities that
old timers can regret. Recently laud
situated near Kphrata, in the new
county of (leant,sold for SIOO per acre,
that 20 years ago could have been
bought at from 75 cents to $1.25 per
acre, tmd nobody wanted it at those
figures. In those days that country
was considered a desert, and so desig
nated. Then came along that great
transformer of conditions and upbuild
er of the wilderness, the railroad, and
behold blades of grain sprung up where
no grain ever grew before, and laud
that was valueless took on a value far j
beyond the dream of the ancient citizen. ;
f r is not generally supposed that the
newspaper scribe who sprungthe name
of Congressman Poindexter as a pos
sible candidate for United Slates sen
ator was really in earnest. If a repub
lican is to be the senator he should be
a republican, with the other tjualilica
lions of Illness and ability.
LET the controversy end. ( 'ook lias
been vindicated, .limrale Durkin says
he got there at space rates in the ad-1
vertising columns of the Spokane pn- j
pers. Cook owes .leems a debt of j
gratitude.
Tut; resident of Stevens county who
suffers from a raging thirst must now
buy a lit kel for Chewelah in order to
get relief, as that is the only town in
the county that did not go dry at the
local option election last week.
Tint editor of the Leavenworth Echo
has discovered a new star. The iden
tity of the party who hit him will be
as difficult to establish its unraveling
the mystery that surrounds the indi
vidual who swatted Billy Patterson.
Between the Pan Tans and extrav
agance in the city hail the Spokesma
n lias an opportunity to get rid
of a great deal of editorial bile.
'l'm; president will he in Spokane
on September the listli, and the lime
not devoted to golf will be applied to
mingling with the dear people.
