MONEY FOR RELIEF WORK.
Funds in Hands of Committee Looking
After Soldiers Dependents.

MONTPELIER, August Is. = The
committee appointed by Gov. Gates to
look after the wants of those left de-
pendent by soldiers now located on the
Mexican border, of which committee the
chief executive is chairman, met yes
terday in the state house. Members
made reports relative to conditions ex-
listing IN their localities and arrange
ments were made to have funds placed
in the hands of each member to be
used when found necessary.
Gov. Gates stated that no fixed sum
had been decided upon as the amount
needed cannot be determined, the
length of time the troops will be alb
sent not being known. The money has
been raised by the members of the com
mittee personally, but it is probable
they will be reimbursed by the next
legislature.

Wilson and the members of the Demo
cratic campaign committee, Vance C..
Mccormick, chairman of the national
committee, announced the President
would make no speaking tour, but prob
ably would accept invitations to speak

with the dignity of the Office Of presi-
dent.

thousands of millions of pounds eagerly and the mothers and fathers are sending their sons to kill and die, to main end be manned, because none of them took as much thought and care for the welfare of Europe as fer the shinneSs of their boots And now that we are walked up at last our first step is to cut off all the little grants inald that few struggling reformerS have managed to procure for our social needs, and to sweep them into the till of the armament contractor. This is what 1t costs to make a Brlton serious. We are more callous than Tartars or Hottentots. With them a few dozen heads chopped off and piled in the middle of the street, and few girls buried alive under the doorpost of the king, pro duce seriousness enough for a whole reign. But we must have 30000 men in the flower of their youth bayonetted and smashed and shattered and pierced and blinded and deaf ened with inconceivable violence every morning for months before we can feel really fine and thrill with admiration of ourselves Even then our notion of rising to the occasion is to applaud the gentle men who write ot the papers calling cn me to cease frivoling and fattering them.

INTERESTING DISCOVERY

EDMONTON, Feb. 14-News of a dis coyery by the Canadian explorer, Stefansson, of records made by one of the Franklin Arctic exploration parties siXtytwo years ago, is contained in the detailed report of lis explorations received here recently.
 The records were those left by McClin- tock, an explorer who headed one of the parties which went in search of FranlI!n in 1853 Curiously, they were found by Stef- ansson in the same month and on the same day of the month as that on which they were deposited, June 15, 1853. By another coincidence, McClintock's records, left in a cavern near Cape McClIntCck. tell of this explorers intention to travel three days westward in search of new land. Stefansson instead travelled three days north and made his discovery of a new continent.
 In a cavern were various records, some of which were illegible. Those that could be read recorded the fact that the anclent party were all well and were about to pro- ceed west.

the upbulding of the territory of Alaska, Mir. Andrews writes "Its policy has here tofore been that of repression rather than assistance If, instead of building forts and maint aiming military establishments Tn thc country at an immense cost, only te be abandoned, there had been Lighthouses and coast protection provided, the advance ment of the land would have been secure and property amounting to millions ot dol lars would have been saved"
 Mr. Andrews takes cognlZance of the efforts of the present and of past admin!S- tratons to aid navigation, and remarks that "the long delayed drag survey IS at lest locating the sunken rocks that hereto fore cost a ship to find, in almost every instance.'
 Because of the lack of aids to mariners, he says 'the marine insurance in Alaska is greater than to almost any part of the world. The rate from Seattle to Skag- way is as much as the rate from Seattle to Liverpool via the Panama canal in tlmes of peace The government tax on canned salmon is less than l per cent, while the marine insurance on this same salmon from Bristol bay to Seattle Is per cent.
 With adequate aid~ to navigation along the coast the rate need not be greater than to ether parts of the civilized world, The buovs and lights, the fcg signals and the wireless telegraph gre fast putting aslde the marine dangers of Alaskan waters. Some of them are badly needed, have been long delayed and are w&G1nly welcomed as they arrive. Thirty-hve years elapsed before the first lighthouse was built, and nearly hal q century has passed and not a light on Bristol bay, a place from which there are shipped each year 15O0,00 cases of sal mon.
 The writer says the government has waited for private enterprise to develop the territory while it reaped the beneht before it made an investment,
 In addition to pointing out the territory claim to further attention, MT. Andrews slls dramatic story of many of the famous and terrible disasters of the chan nel supplementng his article with detailed list of all discoverable wrecks in Alaskan waters, partly supplied by the Pacific Fish erman and partly the result of summer spent in investigating the records at Juneau in 1915. The loss of hfe which he sup rlies as fully as possible, w9s not published in earlier lists of disasters.
 Mir. Andrews is working in the Bancroft library at Berkeley Cal, at the present time on a book which he intends publish ing Alaska is the subject.
 It is understood that Mir Andrews article in the Historical Quarterly will be used to press the campaign for further aids to the development of the North country.
