PHILADELPHIA GIRL
 EXPLORER SUCCEEDING

VALDEZ, Alaska, Sept. 23.- Miss Dora Keen of Philadelphia, who left August 15 for Hartman College Fiords on Prince William Sound, with a par. ty of three men to explore the glac- iers of the fiords and the mountains behind them sends word that her ex. petition has been highly successful. The members reached the sources of the Harvard glacier at 6,OOO feet ele- vation, sixteen miles from the face of the glacier. Apass from the head of the glacier. A pass from the head of was not found. It was the intention if a pass had been found, to cross to the Matanuska river and descend it to tidewater.
 No very high mountain was found by the explorers. Valuable photo graphs and observations were made, which will aid in mapping a region never before visited. Photographs and observations of the glaciers of College Fiord were also made. The party are making a study of the glac- iers of Hartman Fiord and will re- turn to Valdez in a week. All are well and there have been no acci- dents.

KENYON SPEAKER
At COP. Meeting
GIVES ADDRESS At DIES MoiNEs
RALLY IN INTERESTS OF GEN.
AToR cuMMINs.

Des Moines, Oct. 10. - A bio
republican rally was held here
last evening, Senators Kenyon and
Cummins and Lieutenant Governor
Harding being the speakers. Senator
Kenyon made a strong plea in the in.
terests of his colleague. Touching on
the competency of the democratic
party to administer the affairs of the
government. Senator Kenyon said in
part:
Il have no apology TO offer for be.
ing absent from Washington at this
time. / consider 1t as much a public
duty to assist in the return OF my col.
league to the senate as to remain
there, especially when the only duty
row before congress seems to be to
ind something to tax in order to meet
he extravagances Of the present ad-
ministration. The country must OBJ
serve with some interest the levyins
Of a war tax OF Sos, 900, 900 in times Of
peace, as far as our nation is con.
cerned, which will be just about tho
amount which the appropriations OF the
present congress exceed the last repub-
lican congress so severely denounced
by the democratic platform of 1912.
Some day the people of this county
Will wake up on the question of how
their money is being spent, and they
will insist that a public dollar be spent
with the same fidelity and economy
and shall go as far as a private dollar.
If that proposition were in vogue
at this time there would be no need
of any wal tax.
"The republican party cannot stand
simply on a platform recittng the mis-
takes of democracy; that might be
a winning platform, but 1t Is not Z
satisfactory one. We, as a party, must
stand for great. constructive policies.
After the excitement of the present
time people are going to look at the
democratic platform of 1912, denou1ie.
ing the extravaganza of the repub.
licans and then they are going to scan
pretty closely the appropriation bills OF
the present congress and see that the
economy set forth in the Baltimore
platform is a farce. Uncle Sam seems,
from these appropriations, to have
gone into all kinds and manner OF
business, from chasing the festive
cigarette beetle to appropriations for
rivers and harbors where the almighty
provided they never could be. Your
Uncle Sam in these appropriation bills
seem to have gone into the business
of peddling quack nostrums for every
kind of national, real, or imaginary
kind of ills, and the appropriations Of
this congress will exceed my. ap-
propriations ver made by any con.
lgress in the history OF the nation.
They promised a reduction in tho
cost Of living. have not heen ahlA
to find that the price of anything has
gone down except Edam cheeses and
golf, balls; and an existence on Edam
cheese is unhealthy and golf balls are
seldom used voluntarily for food"

THE LUCKY TERRITORY.

While unfortunately production and
consumption of goods, especially in
the eastern states are experiencing a
severe contraction, exports of general
merchandise are becoming small n
imports are rapidly dropping off, and
people are forced to economic in
ever possible direction, and while
the south with it's enormous cotton
crop is struggling with the problem
what to do with it, as the most i'm
portant markets of Europe are closed
to it, and also the cotton exchanges
on account of the foreign exchange
conditions, the boundless west has
been blessed with splendid crops, en-
ormous exports of cereals to England,
and activity and optimism are per-
vading the entire zone. 1t is a zone,
almost exempt from the depressing
effects Of the terrible wal that is dev-
astating the old continent. 1t is
proftfng by the extraordinary war de-
mand for grain, flour and foods stuffs
sold at high prices. To what extent
this condition contributes to the
wealth of the west, can be judged by
the fact that three of its crops alone
wheat, corn and oats-are worth
today about $3.50, 100000 more than
they were salable at before the u
break of the war-a gain only Is per
cent less than the national debt of the
United States amounts to.
While the commerce of the Atlantic
ocean has suffered a decrease of from
Is to 40 per cent, which affects the
Atlantic and Gulf cities, the grain
centers of the west are at present do
ing more business than ever, not only
in grain and -four, but also in meat,
dairy products, live animals and all
kinds of manufactured food stuffs.
The rural population Of the west
represents the greatest purchasing
power; in fact there is no part of the
world, where such a compact force
of buying power of the most cheerful
disposition can be found.
All our western cities of Importance
are prospecting. Commercial stats.
tics show that while in the first week
of September the bank clearings' de-.
creases in the United States averaged
21.6 per cent-the important western
cities have reported good Increases
and these increases are growing with
the advance of the crop marketing
season.
he prosperity Of my city depends
in a broad and general, but none the
less definite way upon that of the
surrounding country. Cities are large
ly the creation of their surroundings,
and are completely united with them
in interests. Cities are so tied to
their rural districts that a stimulus to
the latter is a stimulant to the other.
It has been figured out that Illinois
will get an II per cent increase in net
income out of the advance in wheat
and corn prices. Indiana n of -
per cent, Missouri one of Is per cent,
South Dakota n of II per cent, Kan
sas and Nebraska one of 10 per cent.
II pats were included these figures
would be somewhat higher, since the
war rise has added $141, 600. 900 to the
value of our oat crop. The most
favorite states for business are at
present Illinois, Iowa, North and South
Dakota, Indiana Missouri, Kansas and
Nebraska--Mail Order Journal.

Southern congressman having met
witt; opposition in their efforts to get
national aid for the cotton growers OF
tho south who find their markets gone
as a result of the European war, Sen
ator Rankhead has come out with the
suggestion that the cotton growing
states issue bonds, buy half OF eacn
farmers cotton at ten cents a pound
and carry it until the market again DE-
comes normal. The plan is based on
the belief that the European war VIII
be over before many months or that
at least there will become a great de-
mand for cotton and that the cotton
now on hand can be sold to advantage
later.
