THE Discovery IMPosTURE,

Those who are familiar with the
claims Of original discoveries will be
quite prepared to accept the statements
Of the three Fort Simpson trappers who
claim that they found the blonde Es-
quimos before Stefansson did. In fact,
they claim that they were living with
the very party of blonde Esquimos that
Stefansson "diseovered at the time
that he visited these blondes The fact
that Stefansson made no reference to
these white trappers is quite the usual
thing among those who wish to claim
original discoveries. Throughout all OF
the old Northwest the Bois Brules had
traversed all OF the supposedly .un-
known regions long before the famous
" discoverers who got the credit of
original exploration knew anything
about them. These old Bois Brules
went everywhere and were familiar
with the pretty much ali Indian coun.
fry, that was supposed to be entirely
unknown, long before that country was
officially or historically discovered. -
Tn the same way, throughout all this
region, John c. Fremont posed as a
great discoverer and explorer, and yet
the streams Of all this mountain region,
had been so thoroughly trapped out
that as early az 1886 trapping was no
longer profitable. Bonneville knew all
about this country long before Ere
mont s alleged explorations. General

passes on its own wheels and took it
TO the shores of Utah lake in 1926.
The trappers had, in fact, completely
overrun all this mountain country
years before Fremont's appearance,
and had repeatedly traversed both the
Southern route TO California and the
direct route westward from here
through the Sierras They had gone
from south to north along the coast,
and had visited and trapped in all Of
the great rivers and their tributary
streams. But officially all this region
was supposed to be unknown until Ere
mont's reports were made and pub
lished by Congress. The humbug of
the discovery claims has been thor
oughly known for many years to all
who cared to investigate.
But in sequence. first the unknown
and unrecorded explorer, trapper, and
hunter, goes all through an unknown
country and finds out all about it: then
some official or some agent. some per.
son Of prominence, hears the tales Of
those original explorers. becomes fred

PEACE PALACE DEDICATED.

The dedication Of the Peace Palace
! at The Hague on Thursday WAS q very
happy event for the world There is
no doubt but that this event will slim
ulate very greatly the peace propa
ganda throughout the nations. The ex-
ercises were elaborate aud noble, and
were participated in by representatives
OF all the great nations of the earth,
Andrew Carnegie was the central 6g'
ure in this huge event, and IT was quite
to be believed. as the orator OF the day
said, that Mr., Carnegie was the hap
picst man in the assembly, seeing in
these surroundings the transformation
Of your beautiful and spirited munif.
cence into this future seat of interna.
tional tribunals The orator contin'
ued: ''Gn the name Of the civilized
powers Of the world, ] address you.
The whole world shares your views,
and has proved its deep appreciation
Of your generosity by voting with i'm
posing unanimity the funds necessary
to keep this temple always at the very
high standard to which you enabled it's
constructors to raise it. -
Great words these, and fit for the
great occasion. II is not worth while
to be too critical of the sentiment ex
pressed that the whole world shares
the peace views Of Mr. Carnegie, for
while this may be a little in advance
Of the time the peace ideal is rapidly
gaining. so that it will not be long at
the rate we are now going. until it is
n plain, prosaic fact.
Mr.. Carnegie is the man who made
possible these dedication exercises. In
so far as he is an American citizen, all
Americans can take pride in the prom
inence that he was justly accorded on
this occasion. and share in the exalta'
tion which his munifcence has brought
to this country, In so far as he holds
fast to his birthright, Scotsmen all over
the world will take pride in him, and
in the great achievement which shows
this magnificent result. In so far as
the event may hasten the dawn of
peace and the absolute stamping out
of war, the human race has reason to
rejoice, and to give full adherence to
the noble sentiments expressed at the
dedication, and Join in the prayers
there uttered that war may come no

MUNICIPAL LIGHTING.

The proposition to build munici-
pal lighting plant is strictly in accord
with the bonding proposition in con-
nection with the Big Cottonwood CON
duit that the taxpayers of this city
voted favorably upon in 1905. The
plan was openly announced, and rat
flied byD the taxpayers, that sufi-
cient fan would be provided for the
water at the outlet of the Big Cotton
wood conduit into the Parley canyon
reservoir, to afford power for muni-
cipal purposes and especially for light
ing. 1t is true that the city admins
tration that year weakly yielded to
the solicitations-we might almost say
commanded the old street railway
management to surrender this valuable
portion Of the bonding proposition
Under another administration, how
ever, the ground thus lost was recov-
cred, so that the city is at perfect lib
erty now TO use that water-power for
the generation of light, as suggested by
Commissioner Korns.
The amount stated as sufficient to
put in this plant is very moderate.
Tho saving outlined will be consider
able, and the plan seems to be not
only perfectly feasible, but a good
economic proposition. We trust, there
fore, that the commission will take this
matter up in the proper spirit Of pub
lie service, and. if everything is as
represented, push on the work until

To do this would be merely to carry
out the original plan and purpose
which the voters approved at the elec.
tion more than eight years ago, would
save the city n good deal Of money,
and would be making serviceable a
public utility in an economic, legiti-
mate, and advantageous way.

GOODS HELD IN BOND.

Secretary McAdoo has made his re-
erland 8 resolution of inquiry. as to i'm
ported goods in bonded warehouses.
The Secretary finds that, as Senator
Sutherland Indicated, the bonded
warehouses are stuffed with goods,
waiting the passage Of the Democratic
tariff revision bill so that these goods
can be withdrawn at the lower rates
Of duty so generally provided In that
bin.
The Secretary reports that goods now
in bonded warehouses on which duty
will be paid when released are so abun~
dant that the government will lose
about Sl000O,000, as between the diff
ference that they would pay at the
pesent rates and the duties which they
will pay under the rates in the pro-
posed tariff bill That is, the govern.
ment will lose S10,000,000 in its Gus
toms duties on the goods already in
this country and held in bond waiting,
by the passage of this Democratic tar
if bill
These goods have been accumulating
for some time. waiting the reduction in
duties called for in that partisan meas
sure. But until this report Of Secre-
tary McAdoo s, nobody knew Just what
the difference would be as applied to
these goods, between the present du-
ties and duties as proposed. So that
Senator Sutherland has done good serv-
ice to the country in bringing out the
fact as disclosed in Secretary Nc.
Adoo IS report.
At the same time. the Sutherland
proposition to require the payment Of
the old duties on goods now in bonded
warehouses is inadvisable and probably
Impractical, for if the attempt were
made 10 do this, the importers would
protest that they had no present mar
ket for the goods and didn't intend
to withdraw them till they have use or
market for them, plea hard to resist.
But If persisted in, the attempt would
probably result in the further holding
back of these goods, ard the mixing Of
goods, the changing OF dates of in
voices, and the like, so that the gov,
ernment would still lose this $4,000.
900, Besides, nothing of that kind has
ever been done before IN this country;
it is difficult, probably impossible, to
compel purchasers TO take over goods
till they are ready for them; and If a
precedent Of this kind we're once
formed IT would work both ways. The
universal practice has been 10 pay the
duties ss the goods we're taken out of
the bonded warehouses, and this uni
versal practice will doubtless be con.
tinued. But the secretary's report is
valuable as showing the tremendous
losses o. customs revenues which the
partisan Democratic tariff bin will i'm.
pose.

Paris, Sept 22.-From Paris to

latest sensation. Under one of the
archways of the Pont st. Michel, on
the Seine, two men are working in
the greatest mystery on the con-
struction of a cylindrical, bottle-like
craft which is to take them across
the Atlantic. The craft is of wood
and tarred cardboard, with strong
hoops of iron. 1t is about 80 feet
long and 7-1-2 feet across. There is
a manhole at each end.
The master of this curious craft is
turned seventy, and wears blue suit
with no shirt underneath, and no
shoes. His long curls have evident
ly known no BARRIERS shears for many

shoulders and mingle with his patri-

man is a Greek, Constantine Panejot-
Il by name. His father was bust

tie fortune, which the son devotes to
alleviating the sufferings of his less
