CAPT.YOUNG'S TRESP ASS
LOCAL VIEW OF THE SEIZURE OF
ISLE ROYALE.

State Department officials are not in the
least concerned about the reported action OF
Capt. s. c. Young of the Goth Regiment and
his party of Canadians in raising the British
dag over Isle Royale, In Lake Superior. and
declaring it Canadian territory. They point
out that the treaty of 1912 expressly names
the channel between Isle Royale and the
Canadian mainland as marking the inter
national boundary at that point IN Lake
Superior. SO that there could be no question
as to the American title to the island. More
over, the State Department has never heard
that the Canadian government ever chal-
lenged that title.
The island is a game preserve, In part, in
cludes many rich vineyards and IS Il favor
lite summer resort for people from Chicago
Milwaukee and st. Paul. in the United
States, and from the larger towns of Mani
toba in Canada. If Capt. Young trespasses
on any privately owned property, 1t is said
he will be dealt with according to the laws
OF Michigan. which exercises jurisdiction
over the island; that is. he viii be arrested
and fined or imprisoned. AS the Canadian
government is not involved in the affair it is
not likely to rise to the dignity of an inter-
national incident.

BY JAMES J. HILL
Though Railroad Magnate Is Demo-

lican Politics..

Private advices from highly Trustworthy
source disclose an interesting situation re-
gardng republican presidential politics in
the far northwestern states. The report
says:
Roosevelt is still the idol Of the mass of
the voters-democrats well as republl-
cans-in Montana Idaho. Colorado, Wyo-
ming and Utah. They seem to think that
he will be a candidate despite his assur-
ances to the contrary. Roosevelt is opposed
by the republican machine leaders in Mon
tana and Colorado. When the state con-
ventions are held It will be struggle be-
tween the machine and the people for the
delegations to the national convention.
'In Utah, ', yoming and Idaho the Nor
mons hold the balance of power, and 1t
can be put down a certainty that the
Mormons will do whatever the President
desires. If they think he wants Taft nomi-
mated they will support Taft. Senator
Smoot is undoubtedly the republican dicta-
tor in Utah. and he will follow the Presi-
dents lead unswervingly.

throwing of nearly 10000 600 acres Of for

move SO far as the west was concerned
when the action was taken, but now that
the people are coming to understand the
