Concerning the jaunt of the peace
party, MIR. Hurja's chief point wa the
general misunderstanding Of the
nature of the expedition. 1t was con
ceived, he said as = pilgrimage to
arouse interest in a neutral conference
which was later established at Stock

its meetings.
There were 2IO members in the
party. The countries visited were
England, Norway Sweden, Denmark,
Germany and Holland. The trip cos,

$45O,OOO.
Our trip across Germany was per
haps the most interesting part Of the
whole trip" Mr.. Hurja said this morn
ing at the Overland. We were i'm
pressed with the atmosphere Of tense
ness, the apparent willingness Of
everyone to work for the country and
the machine-like smoothness with
which every detail in our trip had
been taken care Of.
"When we ate our meals on the din
er at the railway station in Hamburg,
we had our first bite of the famous
German war bread, made of potatoes.
The bread was wholesome and nutri-
tious, although we didn't eat more
than two thin slices apiece, and those
were a quarter of an inch thick. They
didn't have any meat on the menu, but
plenty of beer"
On his present tour through Alaska,
Mr.. Hurja has visited Ketchikan,
Wrangell, Juneau, Skagway, COrdOya,
and Valdez, as well as many inter
mediate points by motor boat. He
will go to Anchorage from here Mr.
Hurja was formerly city editor Of the

WICK MEN AFTER

An effort is being made in the in
terror to line the saloon vote of the
Territory up behind Delegate Wicker
sham again, and, with lack Of logic
usual with the Wickershamites, they
are making their campaign on the in
cidental fact that Judge Jennings has
provided for a secret ballot to ascer-
tain the will of the people of the First
Division communities as to whether
or not licenses may be used instead
of ascertaining their will through
other methods, as is done in some
other sections of the Territory They
are, also as is usual with Wicker
shamites, appealing to prejudices in

n INFORMATION contained
in the Clews financial re-
view for June 3 reflects
the pronounced prosperity Of
the country, in all sections.
Bank clearings last week at
leading cities were Sc per cent
ahead Of last year; a very large
gain, even allowing for the ef-
feet Of high values. Railroad
earnings for April thus far re-
ported show an increase of over
22 per cent. New capital is
81 es in May in the principal
States are estimated at about
S192,000,000, which was near
ly double year ago and the
largest May on record except
1910. A feature worth noting
is the flood Of municipal bond
issues, the total for the year
1915 being about $500,000,-
600, or the largest total on rec
ord. Still another feature is
the numerous new petroleum
issues, the total reported in
May alone being S67 100000.
The record Of new enterprise
for May shows particular ac-
t.vity, the total charters of con-
Germs above one million capital
being $309,OOO.0O0, or ITO
per cent above the same month
last year. Dividend and inter-
est payments in June are esti-
mated at $137,000,000, or

THE c.. o. P. SHIP SUBSIDY
PLANK

n view of the present ex-
tortionate charges for
ocean shipping the decla-
ration for a ship subsidy by the
republican national platform
sounds peculiar to say the least.
Grain charters are so high
that ocean carriers for two
years past have been getting
more for carrying wheat to
Liverpool that the farmer gets
for his wheat in Umatilla coun-
ty. For months the Liverpool
wheat price was above the 81
mark while our farmers were
offered but 85 or 80 cents for
their wheat. The carrying
charge on wheat from New
York to Liverpool is now close
to 81 per bushel while the
normal rate is but three cents
a bushel on the Atlantic.
The shipping combine is
reaping a golden harvest. Some
ships are paying for themselves
in a single voyage, at the same
time meeting the war insur-
ance which is not high, thus
showing the war dangers are
not responsible for high rates.
Yet the republican platform
just adopted carries the old
plea for a ship subsidy. couch
ed in slightly different langu-
age, and denounces the admin
istration shipping measure
which is a genuine plan for re-
lief to the producers and man
ufacturers Of the country.
For the merchant marine
section in the republican plat
form there seems but one ex-
PLANTATION. The old guard is
playing up to the war chest. .
No doubt the shipping interests
can be shaken down for a huge
sum this year. With the easy
money they are making the
ship men can stand heavy con-
tributions. 1t is a business
matter with them. They like
high charters and they will
keep them up, not only during
the war but Just as long as
they can after the close of the
war They can afford to
spend much money to put a
friendly administration into
power and they will be reas-
sured by the declaration of the
republican nominee that the
party platform meets with his
entire approval.
The election Of Hughes on
the platform he endorses will
mean the installation in power

for having set on foot a military en-

that their action was not military

crime under the laws involved. The
