1 ed to show the universal conception Of
a triune diety, which he said was not
an accident, but the result Of divine
inspiration. He proceeded to show
that the three in one were the father
the mother spirit and the offspring Of
the union, in the Christian religion
Jesus, incarnated as love. He then pro
coded to show in the material and
mental world the triune nature of all
things. For practically two hours he
held the closest attention of the large
audience which filled the auditorium.
There is no doubt that the Dixie
Jubilee Singers have won place with
the Valley City Chautauqua. Their
programs are varied and cover wide
range of vocal music, but their main
offerings are in the line of the old
negro melodies. Their voices blend
tremendously, but Mr.. Buckner and
Miss Smartwood, the contralto, easily
take the lead, their voices being excep-
tionally good. The four concerts
which they gave were exceptionally
pleasing.
Mae Shumway Enderly appeared
Sunday evening. She started out with
some more of the "Pierrot" stuff
which Cora Mel Patten inflicted on the
audiences Of the week before. Accord
ing to the expressions heard on all
sides most of the auditors would pro-
nounce it "Pier-rot," sounding the final
consonant and putting strong en-
phasis on that syllable. She further
complicated the agony by resorting to
diminutive harp in several passages,
and threw lots of tears into the final
stanza. It was most effective-to her
notion. She gave several other selec-
lions.
Secretary Karr told about the work
of securing an endowment fund and
predicted that before the next session
the fund would amount to 100000, the
income from which will put the Chau-
tauQua on firm basis. The Times
Record hopes he is right and that the
Chautauqua may continue indefinitely
to furnish inspiration and recreation
to the people of North Dakota, for as
Mr.. Karr pointed out, it is now more
than Barnes county affair. The only
criticism we have to offer is that the
programs have taken up too much of
the evening, have begun too late, per-
haps. Even an editor has certain
routine of work that must be done
and we were kept from hearing GER
tain features we were greatly interest
ed in by the fact that we could not
hear them without interfering with the
next days work. In the case of a man
or woman whose living depends on
daily labor that reason must have been
equally strong and the Chautauqua
must have suffered thereby. 3
The 1915 Valley City Chautauqua
has closed and it has been, without
doubt, wonderfully profitable session
for those who were able to- attend it
without interruption. All honor to the
men whose labors made it SO much of
a success.

NO PANIC WHEN MAR|P''0sA STRUCK
 ,,t ..'. -- ....,.. Fine Weather Prevailed at Time the Passengers from Wrecked Ship
 Were Landed on Beach.

Wm. Glendenning, the we'll known Valdez mining man, who is develop ing an extensive copper property To- cated at Wells Bay. was an incoming passenger on the Admiral Evans last night. He was one of the passengers on the steamer Mariposa when she was wrecked and was taken to Ketch- ikan on the steamer Dispatch which reached the scene of the wreck with in two hours after receiving the Mariposa's wireless calling for help.
 MT. Glendenning says that no panic prevailed after the ship had struck but that owing to the vessel being badly listed women and children had difficulty in moving about in prepa- ration to go ashore. The accident happened in the early morning and as soon as the women and children were landed the men built huge fires to protect the little ones from the chilly wind which was blowing.
 Fortunately the weather was fine when the steamer struck as it is be- lieved had she gone ashore while a storm was raging that she would have slid from the rock into seventy fath- oms of water and the loss of life would have been appalling.
 The passengers all speak in the highest terms of praise for the con- duct of Capt. O'Brien and his officers after the steamer struck and the care and attention shown them after they were taken to Ketchikan and until the Admiral Evans received the1a. They also express gratitude at the kindness shown them by the people of Ketchikan, who were free in their proffers of assistance.

The Light Will Shine.

Joe Jordan, of the Lobby, has with commendable public spirit again un- dertaken the matter of restoring the lights on the spire of the Catholic church for the fall and winter months. This beacon is greatly ap- preciated by many a musher who is overtaken by darkness while making his way to town and to many a man, who doubtless owes his safety to it's welcome rays flashed over the tun- dra in storm and darkness from the lighted cross Heretofore the city has always borne a share of the ex- pense of maintaining the lights while the balance of the necessary funds were obtained by public subscriptions but there is prospect that the entire amount will have to be contributed by the public, owing to the low con- dition of the city fhances.-The Mug get.

CITY 0F PUEBLO |S
 ON OUTSIDE ROUTE
Alameda Will Sail on October 18th and Northwestern on October
 24th-Regular Sailings.

The local office of the Alaska Steamship company has received ad- vices that it's steamers are now all back on their regular sailing dates, which was made possible by charter ing the City of Puebla to take the place of the wrecked liner Mariposa. The City of puebla sailed from Se- attle last Tuesday, October i2, and Is coming q the outside passage. It is not Knowp if she w'il call at Ju- neau. as steamers coming via the out side nassaas sometimes 'lo or if she will con.e straight through to tordO- va. Should the City of ciebla 3.:le straight through to Cordova, she may be expected to show up at Valdez sometime Sunday as that would be allowing her five days for the trip and she is reported to be speedier than several of the boats which have made the trip via the outside pas sage in five days.
 The Alameda will leave Seattle next Monday evening, October 18th, and will be followed ny the North western on October 24th All of the steamers are back on their regular schedule again and are carrying ca pacity cargoes, north, and good pas senger lists on their trips south.

QUARTZ BOOM PREDICTED
 WHEN RAILWAY IS DONE.

With the completion of the gov boom in quartz mining that will even eclipse the placer record already made, says M. c. Tynen, of Anchor age, who is in Seattle to purchase machinery and supplies to develop a group of claims at the head of Pc ter's creek, near Knik arm.
 There is lot of high-grade quartz ore that is just awaiting better trans portation facilities to begin to pro- duce." said MT. Tynen yesterday at Seattle "There are three groups of claims near mine that are now being worked on, and on my holdings l have a force of fifteen men that will be increased to twenty-five for the winter season. I am out here getting water wheel, ten-stamp mill and other needed machinery. There is such a wealth of water power to be had that once machinery is installed there is little expense in operating.
 According to MT. Tynen, Anchor age, for a new town, is fast losing its raw and crude appearance. 1.-The timber has been cut off and the streets graveled," he said. "A num- Der of good frame buildings have gone up, and I understand, that be- ginning next summer brick and stone will make it's appearance as building material. The record for a town that was nothing but tents this sum- mer is pretty good.-Post-Intelligen- cer.

WILL ESTABLISH
 BIG STAGE LINE
Californian Believes Tourists will Prefer to See Interior Alaska
 from Seat in Auto.

If the plans of A. Wilcox, who left on the Northwestern for his home in Los Angeles, do not miscarry, a big auto stage line will be operated be- tween Valdez and Fairbanks next summer. He spent several weeks in Valdez after closing up his affairs in connection with a mining venture, for the purpose of Investigating the possibilities of auto transportation and believes it has great future.
 Before leaving Valdez MT. Wilcox looked over number of locations as possible site for his garage and se- lected the lots owned by the Y. M. c. A. on Broadway as being the most de- sirable as it is located near the cen ter of the city. He purchased from Al White the tax sale certificate to the lots.
 MT. Wilcox believes that light ma chimes can be operated to best ad- vantage and will bring ten machines north with him at an early date next spring. He will establish supply sta tions along the line, carrying fuel when unable to secure full load of passengers. He believes that Alaska tourists as a result of the advertising she received from tourists this year, will come north next year in thou sands and that many of them will prefer to see the beauties of interior Alaska from a comfortable auto.

WOMAN BARRICADES HOME
 AND DEFIES DEPUTIES.

SEATTLE, Oct. 16.-Sarah Biglow, a widow, has barricaded herself in her home here and threatens to shoot the first man who attempts to force an entrance into the house. This is the fifth time she has defled deputies who are attempting to serve writ of execution for collection of $2000 mortgage against her property. The property is estimated by real estate agents to be valued at $1O,000. but owing to the state of the financial market Mrs. Bigelow has been unable to dispose of the ground or secure a renewal of the mortgage. The wom- an declares that she will fight to the end and the deputies believe that the first man who enters the grounds will be killed. They have established guard around the place and will at- tempt to starve the woman into sur rendering.

MAR|POSA MAIL
 WATER SOAKED
One Pouch of First Class and All Of Second and Fourth Class Mails
 on MaripOsa Damaged.

Postmaster Jefferson and his assist ants have been laboring under des- perate conditions since the arrival of the Admiral Evans yesterday after noon. The temporary quarters occu- pied by the postoffice are none too convenient for handling mail at any time but the office was literally swamped yesterday when in addition to the Admiral Evans consignment the mail recovered from the wrecked Mariposa arrived.
 Valdez was unfortunate as she suf- fered the only damaged first class mail on the wrecked ship, but has req son to be thankful that only one pouch was in the water. Eighteen sacks of second and fourth class mat ter were received here which had been recovered from the wreck and Valdez citizens have been carrying their mail from the postoffice in buckets or on boards with the water still dripping from the packages.
 Most of the mail damaged belong ed to the parcel post, and when the sacks were emptied miscellaneous collection of articles, many of them without wrappers or address, litter ed the postoffice floor. Postmaster Jefferson and his assistants worked most of the night getting the mail ready for distribution and trying to decipher the names on the packages.

RIVER OF DOUBT
 IS TRIBUTARY OF PANAMA

That a hitherto unknown river of considerable proportions was found on his late trip southward from the Tanana is the strange news brought by H. M. Eakin, of the geological survey, is reported by the Ruby Rec ord. The river is not indicated on any map; neither has it been spoken of by any of the people supposed to be most conversant with the general outlines of the region through which it flows Its outlet is in the Panama at an undetermined point above tor east) of the mouth of the Cosna, and it is notably larger than the last named stream.
 MT. Eakin left the Tanana a few miles above the mouth of the Cosna the 18th of June and gradually work ed his way back over successive ter races of silt and sand until he reach ed considerable elevation. This terraced region abounds in lakes formed in blowouts in the sand, and there are likewise numerous sloughs which often required bridging in or der to cross. It was in this envi- ronment that the River of Doubt was located. From high promon- tory it's course was plainly outlined for long way both up and down stream. From indications it's mouth would be about ten miles above the Cosna, though the location of its out let is conjectural, for its course could not be discerned after it entered the lowlands bordering the Panama. It may turn easterly and flow some dis tance parallel with but contrary to the Tanana; or it may be blind river-that is, it may lose itself in lakes and sloughs and have no fixed and concentrated outflow into the Ia mana. Several persons suggested to MT. Eakin that the new stream be designated on the map as the River of Doubt, in honor of Col. Roose- velt's celebrated Brazilian discovery
 The object of the trip was to se- cure both topographic and geologic data. and the results in both branches of the work were very gratifying. After getting out of the silt terraces high ridges with exposed rock for nation were found and conditions were favorable for geological inves- tigation. The party touched the wa tershed of the North Fork of the Kuskokwim, and reached the Nowit- na above the canyon. Two weeks more time would have been spent in that country, only the condition of the horses would not admit of it.

SAYS ALLIES OFFENSIVE
 WAS A MERE BLUFF.

Under the caption of "A. One Day Success for the Sale of a Loan," the New York Herald intimates that the reported drive of the Allies on the western battle front mere bluff. It said:
 "The Allies begun an offensive on the west front, which attained some success in it's first rush, and which finally provides for our already de- spondent Briton papers the long-wish- ed-for opportunity to report in great letters a victory for French and En- glish arms. As for that, it is not so difficult to begin an offensive, but very difficult to continue it. Only in the next few days can it be told whether this is case of more than local and temporary successes. It is to pc expected that it is a case of one-day success of the Allies and nothing more.
 we cannot rid ourselves of the thought that it is case of momen- tary exertion of force aimed less at great military than great financial success In other words, was an ad- vance ordered from New York, in or der to create a better situation for the Pump Commission of the Allies? The circumstance, too, that the same time the Russian army, or what is left of it, was galvanized into life, may be connected with the loan"

YOUTH or ~ WEARS
HERO or EASTlANo
STEAMSHIP TRAGEDY.

Chicago, July 27.-The star hero OF
them ala 17-year-old volunteer div
er, who explored the hull Of the East
land. where professional divers refused
to 90, and between morning and dark
brought to the surface the bodies OF
forty victims--is Charles r. T.. Bowles,
"The Human Frog" as he was called
by veterans who marveled at his ex-
plolts, worked from morning until
dark. and even then would not quit
his self Imposed task until, exhausted,
he was forcibly placed in Major Funk
houser's automobile and taken from
the scene OF the tragedy.
Young Bowles Is the son of the
Western Union wire chief. He is an
expert swimmer and possesses remark
able courage.
When only II years old he rescued
two companions from drowning, and a
year ago saved baby from a burning
building.
A friend who was among the eye
witnesses of the Eastland tragedy tel
ephoned to Bowles at his automobile
repair shop. Bowles and his brother
Berwyn hurried to the Clark street
bridge on motorcycle.
The oXy-acetylene torch men al
ready had begun to cut into the hull
when Bowles arrived He lost no time
In putting on bathing trunks and was
among the first to enter the murky wa
ter in the hull of the death ship,
working without such apparatus as the
professionals had.
Although warned repeatedly, he
dived into remote parts of the ship.

MONOPOLY cHtReEs UPHELD.
Court InvaIidatss Contract Between
Railroad and Gravel Company.


Railroad and Gravel Company.
Muscatine, July 27.-Charges of
monopoly and discrimination made
against tho Muscatine North & South
railroad with relation to lease of
railroad tracks to the Northern Gravel
Company Of this city, were upheld by
Judge William Theophilus in the dis
trict court when he refused to grant an
injunction to the gravel company.
The injunction suit developed some
delicate legal phases that devolved
about contract between the gravel
company and the railroad. The at
torneys for the Muscatine North &
South took position in the case
whereby they virtually repudiated the
original contract by their, clients and
contended that it's provisions tended
to create q monopoly and discriminate
against shippers OF commodities.
The contract in question was entered
into several years ago between A. T.
Boynton, head Of the Northern Gravel
Company, and the Muscatine North q
South. Two years ago the contract
was assigned to the gravel company.
By its provisions the railroad agreed
not to transport gravel for any other
company but the Northern over the
tracks figuring in the lease. Recently
q rival concern sought to have gravel
hauled over part of the same tracks
which resulted in the Injunction pro-
ceedings.

JirNEY ORDINANCE UPHELD.
Validity Of city,s Regulation Supported
by District Court Judge.

Validity Of city's Regulation Supported
by District Court Judge.
Des Moines, July 27.-Judge Hubert
Utterback upheld yesterday afternoon
the validity Of the city ordinance regu-
lating jitney buses except for the pro-
visions requiring stops to be made on
the near side and within two feet Of
the curb and compelling the operators
to give an indemnity bond.
The city has authority to require
the bond. the Judge held. but the par
ticular provision now in the ordinance
Ia invalid for the reason 1t does not
assure uniform application. 1t is clear
from the language Of the decision that
q properly drawn bonding Tequirement
might be held valid.
The case was brought by the jitney
men on Jupef15 to test the new ordi-
nance. When 1t came up for hearing
tho city filed demurrer alleging that
the jitney operators were entitled to no
relief and challenging the jurisdiction
Of the court.
In his decision. Judge Utterback rules
that he has jurisdiction. He refuses to
sustain the demurrer because he finds
that the jitney men are entitled to re-
lief against the three provisions Of tho
ordinance mentioned although not
against the remainder of the ordinance.
