EXPLORER MAROONED
ON ISLAND OF ice
sTEFANssoN AND PARTY ARE
CUT OFF FROM THE MAIN
EXPEDITION

Winnipeg, Manitoba, Sept wills
palmur Stefansson, the Canadian ex-
plorer, is marooned on ice off Herr
| schell Island, according to Rev. w. H.
Fry, missionary, who has been
among the Esquimos and who arrived
here today from Kittigagjvit. Stef-
arsson is in no immediate danger
DR.. Fry based his assertion on a
letter he received from an Esquimo
on June 8, the day he started south
The Esquimo wrote he knew Stef-
ansson had left Herzschell Island and
had gone out on the ice with two of
his men, Anderson (not DIR. Anderson)
his heutenanD and Storkinson. The
ice broke up suddenly, the water open
ed up few days later and the ex-
plorer and his companions were unable
tc get off. The Esquimo says he had
had been told by native whalers who
had helped Stefansson on the ice that
tho party had ammunition and food
sufficient to last all winter.
The last definite word of Stefansson
was brought to Nome, Alaska, on Sep
tcmber 1 Dy scnUUnur nun rvrnU
Barrow. The captain of the schooner
reported that after baking an attempt
to cross the ice, Stefansson and two
companions CO had returned to Martin
Point, east of the mouth Of the Bar
ter river, on April 16. The crew of
Stefansson's ship, Karluk, which was
crushed in the ice north of Herland
Island, is believed to be marooned on
Wrangel island. There are ~ men
ia this party. The United States rev.
enue cutter Bear sailed for Wrangel Is
land on September in an attempt to
rescue them.

MAROONS WIN GAME
in THE DUKE CITY
DEFEAT THE ALBUQUERQUE
TEAM BY A SCORE OF EIGHT
TO FIVE

The Maroons yesterday trimmed the
Albuquerque baseball club, on the
Duke City lot by the score Of 8 to s.
1t was largely due to the pitching of
Tommy Lochard, coupled with the Ma
rooms batting, that the Meadow City
boys took down the long end of the
score. Lochard, however, got himself
into a bad hole in the fourth inning.
and five runs for Albuquerque were
the result, Maroon errors contributing
as much to the deluge of scores as
did weakness on the mound. Lochard
steadied during the next inning and
held albuquerque safe the remainder
of the game.
Following is summary Of the
came: Hits-Off Icchard s; off Hart
Inc Q; errors-Las Vegas 5; Albu-
querque 4; struck out-by Lochard 10:
by Hartline 6; bases on baIis-off
Hartline 2; off Leonard 2.
The Maroons made good showing
for strictly amateur team. The man.
agement expects to endeavor to ar
range for one or two more games be-
fcre the close of the season.

CONSULAR OFFICERS
DRIVEN FROM EGYPT
ENGLAND TAKES A DECISIVE
STAND As WAR Grows

Washington, Sept. 7.-Routine dis
patches from Ambassador Morgenthau
at Constantinople today to the state
department show that communication
with Turkey is unimpaired. No men
ton was made by the ambassador OF
political conditions, from which it
was inferred the diplomatic situation
there was unchanged.
Officials here are much interested
in the possible results of the expul-
sion of German and Austrian consul
lar officers from Egypt by British
military authorities. For weeks Great
Britain has hesitated to take any
step which might irritate The Porte.
England's action in Egypt, which is
under the authority Of the sultan, but
dominated by Great Britain, was in
terpreted as meaning that the latter
would delay no longer in meeting EN-
barrassing situations resulting from
Turkeys wavering yet apparently
sympathetic attitude towards Ger
many and Austria ~
The extension Of the forbidden
zone in the Bosphorous was looked on
| here as another indication Of the
Pcrte's careful preparation for war
There is, a belief in official circles,
however, that while the military IL
ItDadag every precaution, the diploma
tic branch of the Ottoman empire Is
waiting for more decisive turn or

the conflict.
To Protect Paintings
Ambassador Herricks's request fol
instructions as to what he might dc
| to protect the world famous buildings
and works of art in Paris in the even
of a bombardment, was not acted OF
today. The ambassador intends t.
lhave all American residences plainl,
marked with American flags and othe
insignia to insure their safety from at
tack. Detailed instructions probabl.
will be sent to the American ambasss
der tomorrow by President Wilson AM
and Secretary Bryan as to what h
might probably do in the delicate pos
ticn as a neutral diplomat.

-. CAUSE OF HIGH TAXES

The annual taxpaying time is ap-
preaching and with it will come We
hement protests against high taxes,
outrageous expenses and confication
of property, all of which may have
some truth as a basis. But we will
continue to demand fad legislation
which adds thousands of dollars to
taxes without any corresponding
benefats. We now have prohibition
elections every two years; primary
elections in which the people think
they rule the nominations, without a
betterment in political conditions;
and we are to have the initiative and
referendum, all at the hands of the
legislative politicians who cater to
every fanatic and radical agitator who
demands laws covering his particular
brand of reform. The people pay
dearly for all these things and will
continue TO do so until they are will
ing to return to the simple represen-
tative form of government under
which we grew and prospered in the
past. Taxes are two to four times
higher than they were fifteen years
ago and most of the increase is due
to fad legislation which adds humid
reds of thousands of dollars to the
burdens of the people, and the people
are to blame in so far as they have
supported and encouraged the cranks
and agitators in securing fad laws
Press Not Debauched.
The New Freedom attributes the
triumph of Senator Brady and Gov
ernor Haines to "a debauched press. y
The New Freedom takes too much
credit to itself True, it is the most
fiagrant-and about the only-ex.
ample of a degraded and debauched
press in the state and no doubt had
some influence in bringing about the
result it deplores, but there were
other and better influences that work,
ed for the great success of the senat
or and governor, the splendid officia
record of the two men and their fit,
ness for the high positions which
they hold, for instance, and the sup
port of a host of clean, Legitimate
newspapers of the state.-Coeul
d'Alene Press.

WHY US?

After Belgium, is the United
States to be the war goat? Is it to
be the JEFF OF the situation-the jeff
who plhintively asks, "Why me?"
Why us, with relation to war
tax?
We have no war. If we had one
we could understand war tax, and
we would p2y it cheerfully; but it
certainly is annoying to be compelled
to pay war tax when we have no
checks in the game.
This is neutral country. To be
sure, so was Belgium at the begin
ming, but we have no such invasion
as occurred there. We are not at
war and we are not being over-run,
yet we are going to have to pay
"war tax"
Why? To meet governmental
deficit caused-not by the war-by
the tariff.
This deficit was born before the
war. Receipts from duties on i'm
ports were declining heavily long be-
fore the war startedt AS a matter
of fact, the new tariff law tinkerers
stated they expected the customs
revenues to fall off, so they put in
the income tax.
The trouble is not the war. 1t is
the tariff and governmental extra
vagance. Having altered the tariff
so as to reduce our revenues and yet
without reducing the cost of living,
the only proper way to meet the de-
felt was to prune down the expenses.
One the contrary, we find they have
run riot, the Baltimore platform to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
During the first fiscal year of the
Wilson administration the ordinary
expenses of the government amount
ed to seven hundred and one million
dollars. The last fiscal year of the
Taft administration they amounted
to six hundred and fifty-four million
dollars. That difference alone rep
resents large sized chunk of the
deficit it is proposed to meet with
this war tax."-Statesman.

OLD MAGAZINE TELLS OF TRIP
TO SALT LAKE BY
MORMONS

We are indebted to e. H. Heinrich
for copy of the Silver Standard, a
small advertising circular issued by
Rogers brothers, on the front page
of which is reproduced a page of the
Scientific American, dated August,
1S47. The magazine has several
items that are of interest to this
section of the country, the one fol-
lowing in particular. 1t says
"Messers. Shaw and Boulder arrived
at St. Louis On the fourth inst, di-
rect from Oregon and California.
The company with whom they re-
turned consisted of nineteen persons.
They met with little difficulty on
the route, except from the Pawnees,
who levied contributions upon them
in the shape of clothes, tobacco, a
few mules, etc. Their danger might
have been more serious had it not
been for the Intervention of an old
chief, who gave them the protection
of forty of his warriors, for a fifteen
| miles race and then deemed their
services of sufficient value to en-
force further contribution.
These gentlemen inform us that
the immigrants to California and
Oreon We're making very handsome
progress, being some twenty-five
days ahead of the time usually oc-
cupied by the immigrants. One COM
pany, Davidsons, was met at Big
Sandy, and two more at Green river.
The Mormons, with 676 wagons,
were met at the forks of the Platte,
on their route to California. The
Twelve Apostles, as they are called
were at Fort Bridger. and it was
understood that the Mormons would
not proceed farther than the neigh
borhood of Salt Lake. All the i'm
migrants, as we have said, were get
ting along pretty we'll.
AT Fort Hall the party men with
Mr.. Samuel Brannan AMI four others,
who had arrived there for the pur-
pose of plotting the immigrants on
the route to California. From Mr..
Brannan, who is described as the
editor of the California Star, they
obtained information up to the 25th
of May, the most important of which
| is that Col. Fremont had been
placed under arrest by General Kear-
ney for disobedience of orders and
ordered to the United States for
trial. He either had left or would
leave Immediately for the States.
Com. Stockton was on his WAY home.
