Editorial Opinion
SUCCESS.

olNAESS.
From the New York Tribune.
The success Of the second Liberty |
Loan, so far as the. total Of the sub
scriptions to 10 is concerned, IS now
beyond doubt. IL was never seriously in !
doubt from the beginning; for, given
our national resources and the eNigen- |
cy OF the demand now made upon them
10 would have amounted to an indlct-
ment Of our national spirit to think
that a loan for minimum Of $1,000
100000 and maximum Of SJ,0OOOOO,OO0l
could possibly fail.
We are Just acquiring the habit Of
making big loans TO the government.
| We shall have TO make many more OF
them as the war progresses. As yet our
wealth is hardly touched. In compare
son with the other nations at war we
have so far made immaterial sacrifices.
our loan floating machinery is Just be-
ginning to set shaken down. Next year
at this time we shall probably be look
ling back with establishment at the yo-
cal and emotional excitement which ac-
!companled the first and second Liberty
loans.
Of excitement because the novelty has
not yet worn Off our experience with
this sort Of public financing. But the
deeper we get into the war. the more
earnest and less emotional we shall be
about pledging our wealth for war pur-
poses. Bankrupt Germany can still float
huge war loans on schedule time.
When we feel that we have anything
| like as much at stake as the German
people have, we shall put completely
out Of our minds the possibility Of in
different and hating responses 10 loan
appeals.
Many OF us still think mistakenly Of
these Liberty Loans as investments. An
investment loan may fail without spe-
cial discredit TO those who offer it Of
those who decline to take it. That is Z
matter Of business Judgment. But The
Liberty loans cannot fail without sham
ing our patriotism and staining our ma
tional honor.
The nation Is not now merely offer
ing its citizens an attractive investment
10 is calling on them for a sacrifice. !
doesn't want them merely to transfe
their capital from one form Of securit,
into another. IL expects them 10 Great
the capital for the war loans to a
large an extent as possible by reducing
their personal eXpendlture-by cuttin
off that vast supernuity Of consump

Liberty loans offer an opportunity 70

HAIL. THUNDER and
LIGHTNING With STORM

Wilmington was struck on Satur-
day night by one of the most severe
electrical storms that is known to
have ever occurred at this time Of
the year. Hundreds lof persons were
caught in the rain, kthich fell in
torrents. Lightning kept the sky
constantly illuminated and hail fell
heavily.
THE storm was heralded by wind.
The rain, accompanied by hail, be-
gan to fall driving pede itrians to
shelter.
AS far as 1t could be learned no
serious damage was done in the city

ALASKA EXPORTS FALL SHORT FOR
 FIRST $ MONTHS
Interruption of the Copper Shipment Given as Cause; Big Increase
 Soon Expected.

statement of the value of the exports from Alaska for the six months ending June 30, 1917, has been prepared by Collector of Gus toms J. F. Pugh and shows that the value of the goods shipped from Al aska amounted to $22. 1863 220, This amount is approximately two million dollars less than the exports for the corresponding period of last year, but this fact is due 10 the interrup- tion of rail traffic between the Ken necott mine and CordOva and the consequent stOppage of copper ore shipments for nearly a month.
 While the value of the six months exports is short, it is expected that the values of the exports for the next six months will exceed the cor responding period of last year, and that the grand total for the year 1917 will be above the figure of $119,- 000000 reached during 1916.

Whenever the road was observable
or possible the dogs followed the
scent and 80 anxious were the teams
to start that it was with difficulty
sometimes that the men got onto the
sleds and one of the precautions
against getting left was a long rope
trailing behind the sled, AS soon as
the dogs took up the scent they went
like race horses until they had to be
curbed,
Abont a days journey from the
camp they met a small herd Of buf-
falo , they always face the wind, and
were coming right toward them. The
hunters knowing their habits and that
they were not easily deflected from
their path, they decided to try and
see if they could kill each a buffalo
by hand and without a horse. Be-
fore the band reached them all but
three had backed out, Gabriel Du-
mont and two others made the attack
but only MIR. Gabriel accomplished his
purpose. This sort of shooting was
against the unwritten law of that time
as single hunters shooting into a herd
scared the animals causing quite q
loss to the community. This was q
very daring deed from every stand

in the loin, killing the cow and saw
ing his W life. 1t 's said of Cab
riel that he was always impressed
with the foolhardiness of this adven-
ture.
Mr.. Monette's father while running
buffalo near Devils Lake at this time
was thrown from his pony. The ami
NAL had slipped in a badger hole and
falling threw his rider. Mr.. Monette
had already shot the buffalo that he
was giving chase too and his gun lay
on the ground a piece away. The
wounded beast turned upon him try
ing to trample him and did brake his
leg.
In order to save his life he feigned
being dead and believing him to be so,
the buffalo made no further attack.
He lay perfectly still not venturing
to reach his gun until the returning
hunters saw the danger and shot. the
en-aged beast. Another experience
which Mr.. Michael Monette had while
acting as guide and interpreter for a
government party near Missouri, Mon
tana, was as follows: The expedition
consisted of forty-seven men. They
were not half. breed hunters and MIR.
Monette does not now recall their
business further than the fact that
they had with them the government
mail en.route to St. Louis. They
had a captain or leader and carried
their provisions, munitions, ETC.,
packed on mules. They met 200
Sioux Indians. in the fight which
ensued the Sioux killed two ofsthe
party and the captain fled believing
he could escape with his life. They
shot HIM and cut his body to pieces
before his fellows. Being out sof
munitions the Sioux started using ar
rows by which Interpreter Monette
was severely wounded, the arrow hit
ting him in the neck. The Indians
very soon ran out of arrows and fled
for their lives leaving forty of their
men dead on the field.

scribed by Mrs. John Mahon.
Dog sleds in winter and carts in
summer were the means of conveyance
of passengers, the dog sleds were
built of thin slabs of tough hard wood
curved upward at the front end. They
were about fourteen inches wide in
front and twelve inches at the back
end, by about eight feet in length.
The Hudson Bay Company had the
exclusive right to the fur trade in the
land of ethe,C anada's for twenty years
-1S38.l858. Although the line di.
viding the two countries was made
1923, the Canadian traders refused to
see it and usurped the rights in the
Pembina district for many years to
follow. The Northwest Fur Company
was a powerful rival to the Hudson
Bay Company and wherever either
found the other had established a
trading post they too sent a detach-
ment of men to build in that district.
