PERKINS SOUNDS BULL
 MOOSE WAR CPV


 ALBANY. N. r.. Aug. Sounding a rallying cry for Progressives to stand by their party. George w. Per lins told twenty-five upstate leaders at an executive meeting here that the progressive organization is the only one that stands for preparedness for peace as well as preparedness for war. And at this time, he declared. both are equally important to the country.
 Because of the utter lack of pre- paredness to meet the great modern economic conditions in industry we are as unprepared for peace as we are for war" he declared Every thoughtful man knows that if the war were to stop tomorrow. widespread industrial depression immediately would gather in this country"
 As to national conditions, Mr. Per ldns said that he had no idea what the future would bring forth. He declined to say whether he believed Colonel Roosevelt would be a candidate for President or if he would support Gov ernor Hiram Johnson of California for the Presidency

IoiTARoD COUNTRY
 EXPRESSES R. F. ROTH

IDlTAROD. July 5.-District Attor- ney R. F. Roth spent a few days re- gently viewing the mining operations at the head of Flat Creek and adja- cent streams. He was much impress ed with what he saw. Mr. Roth is something of student of geology. and the formation exposed ai the Summit Associations workings inter- ested him intensely "Ever since have been in Alaska" he said, CT have been curious to know where the plac- CT deposits come from. and now am certain that ! know The whole pro- cess by which the deposits of Flat Creek. Willow creek, Chicken creek. and other streams were eroded and carried to the creek bottom is reveal ed at this interesting spot"
 Mir. Roth visited at the various camps in the vicinity. and found many old friends and acQuaintances engaged in the mining operations. His stay was made SO pleasant that he extend ed his visit somewhat longer than he intenden.-Q Qidtarod Pioneer)

that passed through London. The general belief is that she was mined off lhe coast of Ireland, that secret minelayer was discovered and de- siroyed, and that the crew was saved from the batueship in circumstances fully related In the American press by passengers on the Olympic, the liner on which Che rescued crew was pIac- ed.
 There is o variety of rumorg as to what happened to the disabled bat tloship. Some assert that she was sunk in deep water others that she was beached, and she has been pri- vately reported as under repairs in al- most every drydock in the United Kingdoms
 q have a theory of my own on the subject. in which, knowing it's source, I have a profound and perfect confi- dence. The Audacious lies still five fathoms deep. a hopeless wreck, but minus some of her big guns and fittings, which have been raised and salved.
 "But how did she meet her fate? ! reject absolutely the theory of eith- CT of submarine torpedo or of float ing mine. If anyone wishes to guess how she sank, can do no more than to ask them to cast their minds back to the dramatic episode of the ill-fat- ed Victoria. the battleship that was rammed and sunk in the Mediterran- can, and to believe that history re- peata itself sometimes even in the best regulated navies.
 'lf this theory Is a correct one, it accounts for the popular rumor that she reached dock badly damaged. Be- cause it is obvious that there would be another ship that was badly dam aged That damaged ship has now been thoroughly repaired and is fit for action at any moment. and the Au- dacious has been replaced by a still more formidable battleship. So there is no harm at this date, in ventilating one more theory on the subject of this mysterm of the Irish Sea
 "But it will be apparent how neces- sary 1t was at the time to keep secret an episode that temporarily put out of action not one but two big ships It may prove hereafter that this the ory of mine is as wrong as all the others Meanwhile, am prepared to back it for a substantial amount"

JURY PRAISES
 YUKONER FOR
 HOLDING UP STEAMER

RUBY. July IT, Examined by a Fort Yukon jury convented to deter mine the question as to whether or not he was insane. Frank Reinosky, a woodcutter located 25 miles below Beaver City. emerged from the court room with clean bin of health men tally and a commendation from the ju- ry for the action which had led to his arrest. An Frank did was to hold up the flagship oi the Alaska Yukon Navigation Company with a business like-appearing Winchester and keep her tied until bis terms in regard to the payment of a bin owing him for wood were agreed upon.
 The first chapter Of this nautical drama was written about the middle Of last month. The Alaska was pro- ceeding peacefully up the Yukon when Hollis Looney, her genial pilot, noticed @ dag at Reinoky's camp. In the belief that a passenger wished to get aboard the boat was brough to the bank and Reinosky snugiy tied her up. Then surrounded by about a score Of dogs. the woodchopped pro duced his trusty little sun and assur- ed the assembled officers and crew that there would be nothing doing in the way of getting up stream any fur ther until @ voucher calling for S450 had been settled in favor oi himself Naturally there wasn't that much mon ey on any one boat. and diplomacy was necessary. This fortunately was at hand. and Hollis. by the exercise Of that tact for which he is famous, was soon able to calm the excited man. and avert bloodshed. Promised that his bin would be paid as soon as possible. Reinosky graciously per mitted the boat to proceed. insisting, however. that he would take the same action with the steamer Yukon if he had not been settled with before that boat arrived
 This program he carried out, and as he seemed to have developed holdup

 NEW THEORY OF DISASTER

LONDON. Aug. IT. A theory that certainly has the merit of ingenuity, even if the facts on which 1t is based are few. has been promulgated by a well known writer on war topics here to account for the loss of the Fl. M. S. Audacious- always granting that she is lost According to this deponent the great battleship is most certainly at the bottom of the Irish sea- not tor pedoed or mined. but sunk by another vessel of the fleet in an accident sim liar to that which sent H. M. S. Victor ia to the bottom of the Mediterranean many years ago. He writes as fol- lows:
