ANOTHER VICTIM
OF POLAR SEARCH
BELIEVED TOLL is LOST.
NAUGHT HAS BEEN HEARD FROM
THE EXPLORER.

Another Expedition Is Searching for
the Baron--He Left on His Quest
in May, 10O2-Since Then Nothing
Has Been Heard from Him-The
Academy of Sciences Has Searched
for Him in Vain-AccOunt of His
Expedition.
St Petersburg, March 6.-Answering
an inquiry concerning the fate of
Baron Toll, the explorer who recently
was reported to have persisted in the
Arctic Ocean, M Doubrovin, secretary
of the Academy Of Sciences, says that
he has received not a word of news
for some time. Another expedition is
now searching for him.
The accepted belief is that the Baron
has been lost
The Bourse Gazette offers a reward
for specific information establishing
the explorers death.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg, July
81, of last year, said that the Imperial
Academy of Science was beginning to
entertain serious fears for the polar
explorer, Baron Toll, from whom moth
ing had been heard since he left the
yacht Zaria, May %, 1902, in company
with two Yakuts and started for Ben
net Island. The zaria left her winter
Quarters early in June of 1902 to find
Baron Toll and his associate, the Zoo
logist Biruliu but was unsuccessful in
it's mission and returned to the Lena
river. Bruliu escaped across the ice.
Three rescue parties were sent out by
the academy early in 1908, one of them
being under command of Lieut.. Kol-
chaka.
A dispatch from Yakutsk, Eastern
Siberia, dated July II last, said that
the expedition commanded by Lieut..
Ko1chaka had arrived there and re-
ported that the effort of the expedition
to find Baron Toll had been unsuc-
cesSful.

The prisoners say they were shang-
haied in New York last April, and
that when they recently signed what
they believed was the pay roll, they
learned that they had unwittingly con-
tracted for service on the Nina for a

Not A RefOrmer.

The Portal Tribune is not reform
er, neither does it want to ''butt in"
and has the following to say anent its
mission. ..3f
''People cannot be blamed for get
ting foolish notions in their heads at
times. That's human. But they can
be blamed for keeping them there.
The idea seems to be prevalent among
the people of Portal that the Tri bune
came here for the purpose of reforming
the town. Now if you will stop and
consider for moment you will see
that the idea is prerosterous. We are
here to make money if we can, the
same as any other business enterprise.
How long do you suppose we would
last if we started to "buttinsky' into
other peoples business The business
would probably go up in smoke. while
we would take quick exit from Por-
tai on the toes of empty steen No. 10
shoes. We are not so blind to our
own faults that we will endeavor to
correct others before we correct our
own. We are here to stay and will
modest no. one unless we are forced
into it. -

candidates for congress asking them
as to their position on legislation af-

of the heads of these two organizations
will be sufficient warning to the postal
employees to strictly observe the or

influence legislation Any employe who
shall hereafter contribute for any such
purpose will be instantly removed

School Notes
JOHN T. E. DINWOODIE,

Another geometry class was star ted
at tho beginning of last week.
The high school takes five monthly
magazines among which is Sue cess.
The present civil government class
consists of about 80 pupils taught by
Prof. White.
In connection with the first year in
English it is compulsory to read J.
Fenimore Cooper's "Last of The
Mohicans. -
Miss Lucinda Brooks entertained a
large number of the pupils at he1
home on Saturday evening and they
report a pleasant evening.
The literary meeting held last Fri
day was not as successful as it ought
to have been. Only about one half Of
the pupils that should belong to it
were present. The meeting was opened
by talk by Prof. White in which he
showed why all pupils ought to belong.
He also suggested few laws to be
voted on by the society.
Coral Ferguson was elected presi
dent for the time and Nora Woodward
secretary. Regular officers elected
to serve to the meeting in January
are as follows.
President, John Gardner; Vice
President, Dwight Sawyer; Secretary,
Bennie Johnson; Treasurer, Norman
Kalbheisch; Sergeant alarms. George
Whitsel; Door Keepers. John Din
woodie and Duncan Macarthur. In
regard to the programme committee
it was proposed that one of the teach
ers be elected and he or she appoint the
two members. Prof. White received
all of the votes. He appointed John
Bell and Coral Ferguson.
The program for tonight is as fol-
lows: Reading by Prof White
Recitation by Eva Wasson; Music by
Lottie Macarthur; Recitation by Mont
Woods; Music by Matilda Hanson
Recitation by Christena Finlayso n

EQUAL RIGHTS FOR INDIANS
Bill to Be Introduced Gives Them Title
to Their Lands.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Representa-
tive Steenerson Of Minnesota intends
to introduce, after the holiday recess,
a bill which, if passed, would revOlu-
tionize the Indian affairs of the gov
ernment, as it would grant to the In
dians all the rights now possessed by
citizens of the United States.
Mr. Steenerson would give to the In
dians in fee the lands they now Oc-
cupy, would pay them pro rata the
trust funds now in the treasury and
would eliminate entirely the tribal re-
lations. This policy, which he has not
yet worked out in detail. would in his
opinion, eliminate the Indian question
within twenty-five years.
He would not force the new relation
upon the Indians at once, but would
introduce it gradually, requiring the
Indian bureau to relinquish much OF
the responsibility it now carries and
place it upon the shoulders of the in.
dividuals.

A Correct View.

The Walhalla Mountaineer, rep. !,
sizes up the situation thusly: The
Crytsal Call two weeks ago printed an
obituary of the democratic party and
as a result has received some severe
criticisms from the press of both par
ties. Bro. Minder is. personally, a
democrat, although he has managed to
keep the Call in the Independent field
for many years-a most difficult posi-
tion for newspaper to maintain-and
at the same time has given Crystal a
good, lively and bright paper. But
he is premature. we believe, in put
ting the democratic party in its grave.
The form of government under which
we live necessitates two parties in the
field for political honors and demo
cratic principles come closer to the
masses than those of any party ever
formed. unless it be the principles
l,romulg ated by the republicans OF
t>day-which are, in fact, but the
principles of the original democracy,
and which will never die.
With the necessity for two partie;
there is no reason for a change OF
name in either It is only necessary
for the dissatisfied and disaffected tc
get into the party which most nearly
expouses their views, dropping person
al grievances and making every effort
for the good of their party choice.
This will require personal sacrifice,
perhaps, but no patty will win with
out it is done-and retain any perman.
ency with the people. Il.
