The entire trip was the fastest that has ever been made, even when the trails were at their best, which was not the case just after the big storm.

LETTER GIVES DETAILS OF
 DEATH OF DUNCAN MDONNELL

Complete details of the death of Duncan "Cinnabar" Mcdonnell and the incidents during the r. days he struggled for life were received at Iditarod recently in letter from Duke F.. StubbS of Aniak:
 Duncan Mcdonnell died at p min uteS to o'clock on the morning of January 24 after suffering terribly for seventeen days. His mind wand cred considerably up to within twen- ty-four hours of the end, after which he made no further signs that he recognized anyone about his bedside,
 A Terrible Journey
 "On the morning of January : Mr. Mcdonnell left Discovery cabin, on Bear creek, where Guy Groat and Os- car Henderson are stopping temper arily, to go to Ophir creek. The trail leads some eight miles up Bear creek, all of which is above timber line, to the pass between Bear and OphT creeks, which is somewhat steep and narrow mass. in which the wind blows at times with great violence.
 He was blinded by the violence of the wind and particles of snow hurled along with it, and turned back to re- turn to Discovery cabin. On the jour ney back, which he made with great difficulty because of his blindness, he got his feet and legs wet in overhowS or by breaking through the thin ice on Bear creek. Because of this, towards the last he could only travel on his hands and knees
 Ut was while thus travelling, on the second night, having been two days and one night in arriving at this point, that the dogs began barking violently, which drew the attention of the boys, and he was found crawling past the cabin, and frozen in most horrible manner.
 "The temperature during this time was extremely low, as recorded by a government thermometer On Jan uary : it reached 30 degrees below zero; on January &, 39 below and on January 9, 43 below.
 "Guy Groat, Mike McDemott and J. A. Davidson brought Mcdonnell from Bear to Henry Towards cabin, on Ophir creek. Charles CastIeman and William Cribby started for the Kuskokwim river at Ohagamute with him, and were caught by a storm at Whitefsh lake, and were compelled to camp two or three nights, and suffer ed great hardShipS. Fred Webster and William Mclean then travelled with him from Ohagamute to Kol- makoff, where Mrs. StubbS nmSed him until death relieved his suffering. Physicians Fast Trip to Render Aid
 "The rirerS arrived gs ko'mako. with Mcdonnell on .he l7Ih ten days after he had had his dwtG experience. Arthur Willis undertool the trip to Iditarod to secure medicai aid Hc reached Flat late in the afternoon. and an hour later the services of Dr. H. R. Moore were secured. The doctor started on the long journey behind one of the fastest dog teams, which was volunteered for his use, and ar rived at Louis NelSon'S Bonanza road house in less than two hours, making an average of about seven miles an hour, despite the loss of a brake en- route.

Long School Year

BUENOS AIRES, July IA sug-

en- a holiday in July has called forth
a LOUD cry of protest from the newspa-
pers.
La Nacion, says a foreign educator
looking over the Argentine curricu-
lum, is filled with surprise. He ap-
pears to have found a land where
study is longer and harder than any
where else, and his surprise is tenn
pered with compassion towards the
pupils.
Closer investigation, however, re-
veals the fact that the Argentine

of these abbreviated hours" he

eight months.
Thrown in as an extra are the holi-
days of the May festivities, one week;
half a week or so for the celebration
of the defeat of the English invasion
fifteen religious feast days, without
counting Sundays. and various other
days off, the day of tn, Tree, Ami
NAL Day, not forgetting the days
when the teacher is merely absent
from classes in accordance with es-
tablished customs.
And the long and the short of it is,
says La NAcion, hat the day on
which work is really done becomes
more or less of a surprise, and one
of these fine days it Will be sup
pressed, when the programme of
study will astonish the distinguished
visitor still more.
Hence it is La Nacion concludes,
that there are scholars in their fifth
year in the second grade who can
only read by jerks and who are in
capable of writing a letter; house
wives who evidently lack the ele-
ments of education; teachers who
cannot divide by two figures.

BUHL MAYOR TO COME
TO TWIN FALLS TO LIVE
+. b. johnson Gets High Position With
Gem State Lumber Company in This
City.

After going through one of the hot
test campaigns ever waged in the his
tory of Bull, and coming out victori-
Gus by a substantial margin, Mayor
Johnson is to enjoy the hOnOrs and
e-moluments of his office for but a
brief period. says the Bull Pioneer.
Mr.. Johnson is not quitting his official
position of choice, but the Gem State
Lumber company, for whom he works,
has called him to another and larger
field, and since h new position car
ries with it a substantial raise in sal
airy and an opportunity for larger SER
vice for the company, it could, of
course. not be declined. Mr.. Johnson
has been given a very important po-
sition in the office of Assistant Man
ager Lou Petit, at Twin Falls, and
has already taken up his new duties,
having left here Wednesday morning
for HaZeltOn on business for the COM
pany. Mr.. johnson has been in Bull
three years the first of this month,
and his services AVE been such that
the Bull yard is one of the best the
company has in h state, and it was
one of the poorest when Mr.. Johnson
took charge. His promotion is a fit
ting recognition of his efficient man
agement of the cOmpany's business
here.
The successor to Mr.. Johnson here
will be w. NJ. Snyder. who has been
with the company here for the last
two years. The change will probably
not take place until the 18th of this
month, that being the date of the
semi-annual inventory. Mr.. Snyder
has lived here for more than seven
years, and prior to entering the en-
ploy Of the Gem State Lumber COM
pany he followed contracting and
building. He has had extensive ex-
p%erience in the lumber business prior
to coming to Bull, however. having
been with the Citizens Lumber com
pany in Iowa for four years.
Mr.. Johnson has rented a house in
Twin Falls and will move his family
there in the les future.
While the people of Buhl Will regret
losing such an estimable family as Mr.
and Mrs. Johnson they Will rejoice a
the advance Mr.. Johnson received.
Upon Mr.. Johnson's resignation a:
: mayor of Bull president of the coun
ell. Ira c. Thompson, will become act
: ing mayor, and it is expected that h,
Will be elected to that position. anC

ward to fill his position on the coun
ell.

Krupp Organ Is
Afraid of England
Warns Germans That They Have
Greatly Underestimated The Power
of Great Britain.
international News Service.)

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE Rhein-
sche Westfalische Zeitung, chief or
gan OF the Krupps, in a series of ar
ticles on the war situation, warns the
Germans o to be too optimistic re-
garding the future, and great stress
is laid upOn the strength of the Brit
ish Empire and its worldwide domin-
ions. The writer takes DR.. Won Beth
man-Hollweg to task for his frequent
references to the war map in talk
ing of the present situation of the
belligerents. The paper continues:
England, which at the beginning
of the wal was 80 foolishly and dan
g%erOusly underestimated, has, during
this struggle, attained military and
political strength which has almost re-
duced to silence those prattlers who
ruled public opinion in the summer
of 1914. England, the falling Car
thage, the land without CONSUMPTION,
has shown herself as a nation which
still rules the world, and to drive
back which, in order that we may
live, still requires all Il strength.
I'm contemplation of the terrible
battles in Europe, and in the eager
examination of our European war
map, we have forgotten the map of
the world, and it is high time that
we look at that. While England in
our Immediate neigbborhood remains
on the defensive, she is yet strong
enough in other parts of the world 10
develop a remarkable offensive"
The article then goes on to review
British imperial history, and in the
review Price Bulow, the former Ger
man Minister of Foreign Affairs, is
severely handled for not having rec
ognized at the time of the Jameson
raid how serious the fall of the Boer
republics would be for German colo
NAL hopes. The writer asks:
what trend would this world war
have taken had there still been in
dependent Boer States which with
about $4,000 men could have helped
out German troops in Southwest and
East Africa?"
The writer then traces the determin-
ed and sustained action whereby Eng
land throughout the years has march
ed toward the goal of African en-
pire and an ALFRED route across the
African. continent, and then proceeds
to point out the great Importance to
Germany of Southwest Africa.
I'VE must not only" he says, "de-
mand Southwest Africa again, but we
must push our territory up to the
once independent Boer States. All the
%colonizing strength of Germany in
Africa comes from the Southwest Pro
tectorate. and all plans in Central Al
RIGA cannot compensate us for los
Southwest Africa"
