 STALLED QUICKLY.

SEATTLE, June IA large dredge will leave next week for the Cache creek Dredging company. It will be installed as quickly as possible but owing to the difficulties encounter ed on the poor trails into the district where it will operate it will probably not be ready for work until the open ing next year. With the dredge is going a very large quantity of sup plies for the company. President Smith will also go north soon to pre- pare for the operations. He is well known dredging man and was engag- ed in the business in Alaska before. He expresses confidence that the part of Alaska in which the dredge is to be placed offers a splendid field for such operations.

WILD HORSES
 KILL PEOPLE
FOUR THOUSAND ANIMALS OVER RUN TWO COUNTIES
 LIKE A TORNADO.

EASTALTON, Ills, June 11.-Four thousand horses that had been await ing shipment here to England sudden ly went wild today for some unknown cause and stampeded through the country killing eighteen people ana crushing them into shapeless masses beneath their hoofs. During their mad career they over-ran two counties but warnings were sent ahead and gave the people a chance to seek safety. But suddenly in their flight the horsee turned and tore back like a whirlwind catching some of those who had been following them in the effort to put the stapmede to an end. The whole country was terorized while the stampede lasted but the animals have been corralled.

ARE CLEARING
 R. R. THIS WAY
RIGHT OF WAY BEING SLASHED FROM ANCHORAGE TO.
 WARDS SEWARD.

That the engineering commission has gangs out clearing the railroad right of way from Anchorage towards Seward is the information brought in by most reliable man who recently reached this city over the trail from the new railroad town. The clearing gangs are actually working twenty miles out from Anchorage in this direction and the Gateway's inform ant is convinced that it means that the work of grading will certainly not be confined this year to the work on the other side of Anchorage. It Was noticed also that government launches are busy throwing off coils of tele- phone wires along the route to be followed by the telephone line from Seward to Anchorage. It is also re- ported that the government is now preparing to secure supplies for two thousand men. A good launch ser vice is now maintained between Sun rise and Anchorage via Hope so that people can travel overland easily.

BRYAN'S RESIGNATION WAS
 APPARENTLY UNWARRANTED
U. s. NOTE FRIENDLY

WASHINGTON, June 11.-After all the sensational runoS that had been aoa and just the people of the United States had to believe that the Washington administration was about to send to Germany note that amounted almost to uJmatm the text of the note was published here this morning and shows that President Wilson and his advisors have adopted most friendly tone towards the German government and actually appeals to the humanitariansm of Germans to put end to the sacrifice of innocent lives The note, however reafrmS that the LuSitania was unaned It goes say that the question as to whether the vessel carried contraband of war or not is irrelevant "The principles of humanity are greater than all such considerations goes the note which seems to have been drawn up with view to beitt
 ing details so that the main question might not be couded After some expressions of a similar nature the message insists on assurances from the Germans that they will adopt measures to protect Americans. The alternative in case of refusal is stated Bryan issued long state ment today relating the matter in which he asks the country not to judge him harShly He declares the Will be representative of the old system of force and to tend towards instead of avoiding 1t. He will issue another statement today particularly directed to Communications No one has yet any idea as to what he will say but his enemies suggest the likelihood that the statement will be the initial attempt to secure the aid, or at least friendship of all Americans who Sympathze with the cause of the TeutOnc powers. Perhaps the more trustworthy suggestion is though that he will appeal to Gelman-Amecans to avoid bitterness and to try to les sen the feelings that have become dangerous to the peace of the United States The last suggestion has been made by the friends of the former secretary of state and they are probably in better position to tell than the others.

judged by the fact that the commits
sion must have about $15,0O0,000
worth of food in transit all the
while.
Other facts as to the magnitude
and difficulty Of the work in Bel
gum might be given, but these suf-
flee to bear out the statement OF
the commission that the situation is
unparalleled In history. The source
from which the commission can draw
money for a continuance of the
work are two. One Is the charges,
profits and contributions drawn from
the Belgians themselves and the
other is the worlds charity. If the
existing situation continues, the
ability of the Belgians to pay for
part of their subsistence must grow
less and less, and the list of those
wholly dependent on charity must
before long be greatly increased.

German Reply to Lusitania Note Is
Not Satisfactory
FINAL DECISION is WITHHELD
Germany Awaits U. s. Answer
Wilson Will Send Firm Mes
sage Reiterating all De-
mands of Former Note

Washington, June This gov
eminent frankly is not pleased with
the reply of Germany to Wilson's
Lusitania note. Germany withholds
final decision on the demands ad-
vanced by the United States until
a reply is received from the United
States. In its answer German de-
clares that 1t is not its intention to
submit neutral ships in the war
zone which are guilty of no hostile
acts to attacks by submarines or
aeroplanes, but urges that in the
case of the Lusitania, which Ger
many alleges was armed and car
rted large stores of war munitions,
It was "acting in justified self-de-
Tense in seeking all the means of
warfare at its disposition to pro-
tect the lives of its soldiers by de-
stroying ammunition intended for
the enemy"
Regret is again expressed be-
cause American lives were lost when
the Lusitania sunk.
President Wilson has determined
e note again setting forth briefly
the facts as found by investigation
Of officials here as to the cargo and
peaceful equipment OF the Lusitania
and reiterating the earnest inten-
ton Of the United States to hold
The German government to a "strict
accountability for all violations OF
American rights on the high seas"

DEATHS AND INJURIES
TO TRESPASSERS ON
RAILROADS INCREASING.

The Union Pacific haC just issued
figures showing that during the year
1914 there was an alarming increase
in deaths and injuries resulting from
trespassing upon their right-of-way.
During 1913, there were 81 deaths
and 48 injuries; while in 1914 these
figures have been raised to 4S killed
and 80 injured.
A small proportion of these acci-
dents occurred to the class known as
"hoboes," the balance to careless
users of the right-of-way. This proves
that the short cut along railroad
tracks" is dangerous in the extreme.
not only to school children but to
working men who walk to work.
Any amount of caution exerted by
railroad employees will not materially
decrease the number Of accidents O.
curing to trespassers, and it would
seem that the only procedure that
will shorten the list of fatalities is
for the state legislatures to pass laws
that will absolutely prohibit persons
other than railroad employees from US
Ing the railroads rtght-of-way.
The readers Of this paper would be
astounded upon hearing of single
accident resulting in the death of 48
persons and the injury of double that
number. and the accident would i'm
be investigated and, If pos
sible, the cause removed.
While these accidents to trespass-
ers are scattered through a number
Of states and occur at separated
periods, the total result is just as ap-
palling. The responsibility rests upon
the general public and the State Leg
Islatures and no effort should Le |
spared in taking the necessary pro
cedure to have this unnecessary loss
Of life and limb entirely wiped out

HIS WAY

"The Colonel then had his pic
tire taken with the jury" said the
Associated Press report today.
Some men would have gone off
on a big bewildering drunk; 9th
ers would have let out few whoops
and for days would have walked
chestily up and down the earth;
still others would have fastened
home to love their wives and chill
dren. A few depressed spirits would
have lighted cigars, taken a few
philosophic puffs, struggling visibly
to VI calm and thus showing their
Joy. whlle they thanked God in
wardiy that they had won.
Not 90 with the Colonel.
The juggler of Notre Dame
turned flipflops for the glory Of God
to show his love for the blessed Vir-
gin.
And THE Colonel then had his
picture taken with the jury"
Joys speak variously in the hu-
man heart. But praise God it al
ways speaks. We may hide our
sorrow till 1t corrodes our souls;
may sink our shame beneath the
faces deadly mask. We may even
restrain the outer evidences of fear;
but in Joy the heart speaketh, and
bless the dear mans heart, let us
hope that in this beautiful express
sion of thanksgiving and gratitude,
the picture was a good one.-W. A.

COMMENCEMENT DAYS

their years work and the diplomas
have been assigned to splendid
GLASS of young folks lhSr high
schools Of the county are closing
and the graduates are going out
with more or less definite views Of
what they are TO DO in life. The cold
r2ruth is that many Of them have no
definite views but are waiting TO
zee what turns up. And this is
wrong. Every graduate of q high
school should either be prepared for
swome definite work or have q defi-
mite idea Of what further prepare
sion he is to seek and what life
work he is to follow. The blessed
days OF youth fly too fast these
days for any dallying. The sooner a

the better 1t Is. To be sure. 1t may
De FOUND later that a change OF d.
raction is desirable but the very act
cOf making a choice is strengthening.
The high schools are trying to make
full preparation for life in some
courses and this is good so far as
nc goes-but that preparation does
mot go far enough. The coming
high school will have courses that
will always lead either to fairly
complete education for vocational
