ASKED "WHO
IS pRESlDENT?''

JUNEAU, Aug. 14.-The isolation
of some of Uncle Sans citizens is
shown in a report made by the reve-
nue. cutter which reported at Juneau
August 10, according to the Record
Miner.
The cutter touched at Atka, in the
AIeutian group, and 400 miles west of
Dutch Harbor. But one white man
lives there and trades with the In
dams. About once a year he loads
his sloop with furs and Indian goods
and goes to Dutch Harbor to sell them
to the Alaska Commercial Company,
and returns with another years sup
pIy of provisions and clothing. 1t is
said in this way he has accumulated
a fortune.
His last trip in was made in Aug
ust 1904, and since that time he had
not seen a white man or even had a
paper. One of the first questions he
asked after the Perry cast anchor,
was "Who is president of the United
States?'

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 18.-Ofi-

stock show to be held at the EXPOSE

are confident that the large number
of entries assures the success of the
undertaking. In the neighborhood of
$4,000 is now available in prize
money, the $4,000 appropriated by
the fair management having been
augmented repeatedly by donations.
1t is not the prize money, however
but the excellence of the western

LET LUMBER
TARIFF ALONE

BELLTNGHAM. Aug. 1S.-A special
meeting of the Bellingham Chamber
of Commerce has been held, called for
the purpose of obtaining an express
sion of sentiment from that body on
the question of removing the duty on
the reciprocity convention at it's meet
ing in Chicago tomorrow.
The meeting was called at the in
stance of J. ii. Bloedel in responce to
a telegram from Victor II. Beckman,
requesting that the chamber take
some action in the matter.
Mr.. Bloedel stated the situation
briefly. an dthe effect the removed
would have on American lumber on
the Pacific coast by placing it in COM
petition with Canadian lumber having
lower freight rates to eastern termi-
nails, which rates on that large lumber
district from the eastern Cascade
sdope to the Crows Nest Pass, in
British Columbia, are % cents to 35
cents per hundred, as compared with
the 40-cent rate on the American side
from the Pacific coast.
A resolution was unanimously
adopted protesting against the re-
novel of the 81 duty on lumber, with
instructions to the chambers secre-
tary to wire it to the reciprocity con-
vention.

AUSTRIAN
E|MpElOR'S
BIRTHDAY

urcs the celebration today bore little
resemblance to former celebrations,
although popular sentiment for the
kaiser was probably stronger than
ever. Special thanksgiving services
were held this morning in every
church in the monarchy. Here, In
Vienna. the pontitical high mass at
ST. Stephan's attracted the largest
crowds. among them many hundreds
of foreigners. The service at St
Augustine's were attended by several
thousand persons, among them many
high officials and dignitarics of the
court. There was also a special sorv-
ice at the chapel in the Hofburg.
During the early hours of the fore
noon the emperor received the mem
bers of the foreign diplomatic corps
In the throne room of the Hofburg
and received many autograph letters
from the other European rulers, be-
sides thousands of telegraphlc mes
sages of congratulation from all parts
OF the world. Later in the day the
emperor received the members of the
imperial household, the ministers of
the cabinet. the presiding officers and
delegations from the imperial parlia-
ment, the reichstag and the Austrian
and Hungarian diets. lie also gave
audience to numerous delegations
representing the army, navy. the va
rious fiscal departments and deputa-
tions of civic organizations from all
parts of the monarchy
The day was generally observed as
holiday All the government offices
and nearly all places of business In
Vienna and other cities were closed
all day and the employees were given
an opportunity to join the popular
fetes Thousands of people crowded
the Ringstrasse and the streets lead
ing to the Hofburg, In the hope OF
catching a glimpse OF the emperor.
The military parade In the afternoon
which was reviewed by the emperor
attracted many thousands of sight
seers, but the popular celebration In
the Prater was undoubtedly the most
popular event of the day. All kinds
of amusements were provided for the
pleasure-loving multitude, military
bands furnished music and the SEEM

filled with elegantly dressed men and
women, passing up and down the
broad avenues of the Prater offered
something upon which the splendor-
loving Viennese could feast their
eyes. A magnificent display of fire
works in the evening wound up the
popular festivities of the day.
There were no other elaborate cele-
brations out of respect to the special
request of the emperor. not to spend
money on such celebrations, but de-
vote 1t to charitable purposes. As
usual. the emperor himself made lib
eral donations for charitable purposes
in honor of his birthday.

VIENNA, Aug. 1S.-The spontane-
the whole Austrian monarchy cele-
brated the seventy-fifth birthday of
Emperor Francis Joseph today gave
the most conclusive proof Of the love
ana affection which the people of the
empire kingdom bear their venerable
ruler. There Is probably no more
popular ruler in the world than he
and 1t may truthfully be said that
ever since the second day of Decem-
ber 1S4S. when he succeeded to the
throne after the abdication of his
uncle, Ferdinand. his popularity has
increased from year to year. His uni
form generosity and kindness won
him the hearts Of those even who at
one time stood I'm the ranks of the
revolutionists. and the fortitude and
dignity with which he met such Sc
we're visitations as the death of his
only son and of the empress strongly
tended to tighten the bonds OF SYM
patty ana love existing between him
and his people.
In former years, when the cm-
peror was younger and both the ON
press and the Inflated crown prince
were living, the demonstrations of
popular love often assumed n rather
boisterous character. especially in Vi
emma and other large cities with n
predominant Teutonic population, The
death OF the crown prince, which
shattered so many fond hopes, put
o damper upon the subsequent celc-
brations of the omperor's birthday
and this condition naturally became
even more acute after the death of
Empress Elizabeth. The character of
the celebrations became more sub
dued and dignified. but far more OK
pressive of the universal feeling of
love and sympathy for the cruelty
bereaved monarch.
Aside from its purely official feat

the summit, where $50 tents were
pitched, and from which point all the
preliminaries and the final climb were
made. The climbers were taken care
of in two separate camps, Chinese
cooks and Japanese waiting boys pre-
siding over the culinary affairs of the
Sierras. Appalachians, and Alpines,
and an Irish chef, with German as
sistants, conducting the giant broiler
and big cooking range for the Ma
zamas, the largest club of the four.
While cOmmissary rations and tent
shelters were provided from common
club funds, the climbers were requir-
ed to individually furnish their own
kits Each kit" consisted of q
warm sleeping bag, or blankets rolled
in a rubber sheet, the latter to be
spread upon the ground to keep the
damp out of the bedding; a canteen;
tin cup; a stick of grease paint,

Ten days later. on July &c, at 1907

position as todays election.
The voters turned out early to cast
their votes and a large vote is ex-
pected. One of the most striking
features of the election was the large
number of women who, for the first
time, perhaps, made use of their right
to vote. 1t is unnecessary to say
that practically all of them voted
against license. Although the result
of the election is not yet known at
the present time, it is believed by
many that the voters have decided
against the future sale of liquor in
Asbury Park.
