Continued from Saturday.
 WEDNESDAY Oct. 31th--We start ed on the ice trip at six 8. n. making our way toward the mud hats. east southeast of where we lay.
 We headed for a pressure ridge some distance off with Mir. Coin sound ,ng the ice ahead and Mir Griffiths sled which had made out of four oak barrel slaves with three cleats nailed lcross to hold the staves I; was some sled.
 We pu: the gold dust. which we had taken aboard In the mail, at the bot
 cm to balance the sled on the rough
 ce and piled the rest of the mail on
 op. It balanced all right but 1t was l hard drag. The ice was about eight inches thick but did not look very strong We went so slowly dragging the heavy sled that MT. Coin got half Q mile ahead of us We called 70 him to come back and he was very Iore at us for doing 1t. Finally, when bout three miles from the boat. Coin ;uddenly broke through the ice about
 wo hundred feet ahead of the sled party. l went 70 the rescue. running IS hard as I could, and grabbed him by the hand by reaching as far out IS I could. Mir Grifflths came up be- lind me and grasped his other hand md we commenced to pull him out, He 8 a very large man, about 220 pounds, and we kept tugging away but could not get him out. Finally told him to 'lick his legs as we pulled. Then we got him out on the ice. The place where he went through was an old lead which had frozen over. the ice being only about one half inch thick. The lead was about six feet wide and he had gone through near the center Tony and I gave him a pair of socks lpiece and a pair of pants. It was very cold changing his clothes on the open ice and a cold north wind was blowing. We reached the pressure ~dge about 2.30 p. m. having made thout five miles in an air line from the boat but had travelled about ten miles Tn order to get around the open leads. Some of them we crossed with the Ice rolling under our feet. Tho fec was moving all the time and it finally became so bad that told the boys that we had better go back to the boat Mir. Grffihs. Tony and I started back but Mir. Coin refused to return and started to go on. Both Griffiths and I told him not 10 chance 1t but he paid no attention to us. So we let him 60. We had to leave ths sled on . solid ice pan as the leads were too wide to pull the sled over. The gold dust weighed about seventy five pounds and this with the other stuff made about l4O pounds in all. I was afraid that we would be cut of from the boat so we hurried back and finally reached :he boat after forced to make several long jumps over the moving Ice. which was very thin in places. We felt very sorry over Coin leaving us without food or a compass and darkness coming on. I was worried over leaving the mail on the ice.
 MT. Coin came back to the boat about dark. He must have had a hard struggle of 1t and said he feli through

 It was good that had an emergency sack of flour on board. We had a bsnnock apiece and some tea with a tiny bit of sugar and then retired; a hard and unsuccessful day over.

The leads were now all closed up and the going looked good so we decided to so on with the mall. l sent Tony back to the boat to get the grub and told him 10 tell Coin We were going on to shore. told Tony not to come ofter us until daylight if the weather was clear but if 1t looked like to come at once and follow our tracks without waiting.

A NEGATIVE VOTE
WE WILL BE DEFINITE

The editors proposal, briefly stated,
is that the Socialist party need not
fear being elected to office by an I'M
educated working class and that the
thing to do is to get into office on
short platforms pledging among other
political issues" to introduce and
work for legislation asked for by the
organized farmers, organized labor
and other organized bodies that do
not conflict with the interests of the
working class as a whole.
We vote NO on the above proposal
because reform party can do that
and maybe soon be forgotten. The
Socialist party has no reason to ex-
list if it cannot maintain, at any cost,
its working class revolutionary posi-
ton in society and act as trail
blazer ahead of the industrial develop
ment that we know society must nee
essarily pass through. We know the
passes and something of the topo-
graphy IN the wildness ahead; there
fore let US not be track sniffers and
camp-followers. Let us be pace set
ters and trail blazers.
We can mush through the snow,
scale the jagged places and endure
the hardship. The fellows that come
along behind in the Pullmans may get
some temporary glory out of other
peoples necessities, but an enlighten-
ed society will understand the differ
ence some day. The trail must be
blazed. 1t is necessary part of the
work.
PROLETARIA BILL,
April s, 1917.

OPEN FORUM
BILLS LANGUAGE
TOO WORDY FOR
COMMON Plugs

Plummer, Idaho.
The Northwest Worker:
see in your issue Of the 18th of
April, under the caption of "Barrcade
Science Hitter Out on a Foul, " where
in Proletaria Bill in his naughty, high
handed, supercilious manner, takes
slam at the Idaho comrade-which is
me. In the battle royal which has
been going on for the past few years
or was it only months innocently
got in the way of one of Bill's wild
drives and was unceremoniously given
a bone crushing kick in the Stats.
Serves me right, had no business to
express my innocent, uneducated
opinion on the same page wherein APP
pears, from week to week, the wis
dom, philosophy and rhetoric Of one
Buffalo, mean Proletaria Bill.
Leaving out head work entirely,
have this to say for Bill His foot
work is fine. When it comes to the
lightning duck and side step, he
is. there like flash of light. But
when it comes to the wallop, / am
sorry to say, Bill couldn't punch
hole in a soft roll of butter. AS far
as a controversial knockout is con-
cerned, Bill couldn't slip over a hay
maker with brick in each hand /
am not going to enter into any argu-
ments with Bill and thereby give him
chance to get in the same class with
Tennyson's Brook | wouldn't have
much chance anyway. | never studied
grapevine philosophy or practiced the
gentle are of circumlocutiop. |
couldn'nt take a single word-like
"Atavism" for instance, and explain
all the phenomena in the universe
from that one word like Bill does. So
| am not going to get in any argu-
ment with Wild mean Proletaria
Bill.

A WORD FROM THE WORKERS
To the Asemgc Convened for the Purpose of Organizing
Resources for War and the Home Guard"
Friend

fN NUS
Strange. indeed, are the purposes
Of your organizations. In a Hand
where the poor are growing poorer
and the rich ever richer, where CAPT
tulstic exploitation Of labor has
reached higher and moro alarming
stage than in any country in the
world, you seek to organize the ma
tional resources, not to feed the
masses but for national defense Al
ready the poor Of America have sur-
fered untold suffering and depriva-
ton, by reason of the high cost Of
living, due in Il large measure TO cX-
portaton of food supplies to the
European War Zone, there to be used
to feed Instruments Of destruction.
You are ready to organize the re
sources of your country for death and
destruction, not for the preservation
of life and the happiness Of our peo-
pie. | trust that it has not escaped
your attention that since the decara-
ton Of war, and without any iusti-
iicaton, the stay-at-home patriots
for profit, have raised the prices Of
necessities of life from 10 to 25 per
cent. They are making profits out of
your patriotism.
If this government exists by viz
tue of the consent of the governed,
if this is a government Of, by and for
the people, then can you explain why
Congress and the President rejected
the plan of having the question Of
the declaration Of war submitted to
popular vote? Has the government
obtained the consent of the mothers
of the workingmen who bore, reared
and raised those whom you seek to
send to slaughter? Without that
consent have we a right to take that
most sacred thing human life-the
flesh and blood of woman? Ny well
Of tears runs dry, my sorrow is deep
while making this appeal to your in
telligence, not your prejudices.
You say that America is engaged
in war to extend the blessings Of lib
erty and to dethrone Prussian Militar-
ism. Laudable ambition, indeed.
too, hope to see it dethroned But
friends, would it not be well to see
whether we are fit to spread these
blessings? Let us see. Free speech
and free press are denied US, notwth-
standing the constitutional guaran-
tee, unless we agree with the govern
mcnt and its partner, the industrial
masters. In this country property
rights are all, human rights an idle
boast. You yourself have said many
times that this government is in the
hands of the financial and industrial
