May Die
 Of Famine

Thousands of miners and prospec' tors in the Kuskokwim district in Alaska will be destitute before winter fairly sets in, according to CaDtain D. s. McAlpine, of the power schooner Ruby, which load d with supplies for the district, en- countered furious storm off Kodia island on September IS, and finally made it's way to Seward in a dis abled condition, says the Seattle Post Intelligencer of recent date. Captain McAlpine, who left Seattle in command of the Ruby August 24, returned from the northland on the steamer Alameda.
 The horrible condition whiih the men in the Kuskokwim face cannot be exaggerated, declares Captain Nc Alpine. Last winter, even after 1t was thought that suffi,ie supplies had been sent in famine outran the advent of spring and before re- liei could be secured at least four white men anG, not less than @5 ma, tives in one section Of the district succumbed to hunger, while thru out the region hundreds Of others barely pulled through. This winter with the one vessel which was de pended upon to take winters sup plies to the region lying wreck hundreds of miles to the south and with the approach of winter pre~luG ing the possibility Of another yes sel reaching the mouth of the kus- kckwim, nothing but g. miracle can prevent the worst famine which AL askq has ever witnessed.
 Captain McAlpine charges th' the Ruby, which is operated by the Kuskokwim Fishing & TransTor tation company was overloaded when it left Seattle. The Bender Eros. vessel which usually handl " part of this trade had been sent ou another run. and the Ruby was riled to the last ounce with sup u}ies to carry the merchants, mine anL prospeltCrs of the district thru the winter. Before leaving Seattle Captain MLAlpfne protested against the size of the cargo anG after a survey 65 tons were taken off. As it was, according to Captain McAl- pine. he started north with an over loaded vessel, carrying almost 700 tons
 Off the west end of Kodiak isl- an. the power schooner encountered terrific gale on the night Q! setember 13. More than 150 tons Of the cargo stored On the deck of the vessel, was washed off. A bad leak was sprung and little later the cable parted Another anchor was dropped, however, and through out the night the captain and Crew expected this cablesto part and have the vessel driven upon the rocks. TT cable held, however, and by morn ing the wind shifted so as to give the stricken vessel a little pl'otec- tion from the island, Five days lat e, the vessel, water-logged and practically rudderless, made the port Of Seward. where a board pro nounce" her unseaworthy. Much of tho cargo remaining, said the cap tain. is so badly damaged by water as to preclude it's use as food, even could it reach it's destination, which is regarded as entirely out Of the question.

WHAT A JOKE

The Socialist Daily down the street
announced last week that it would
publish a story of "What is the Mat
ter With North Dakota" in three in
stallments, and that the, name of the
writer would be announced in the last
installment. The story, which is tru-
Iy a Misrepresentation Of the condi-
Ssions in this state, appeared as per
schedule, and the last installment ap-
peared last night, and in an editors
foot note at the bottom of the article
it says: "This article was written by
Charles Edward Russell, one of the
best known writer's and lecturers in
the country" If they would have
said "This article was written by
Charles Edward Russell, one of the
greatest fire eating Socialists of
America, and one of the writer's and
advertisers in Appeal to Reason, it
would have rung more true. How
smooth they thought they were in
withholding the name. of the writer
until the close, as had the name of
Russell appeared at the head of the
article, it would have been discredited
before it was read. Anyone who has
followed the writings and lectures Of
Russell knows that he is authority on
Socialism, and nothing else. He is the
one that Kate Richards O'Hare owes
her education to.

that the locals We're to have an open

and the local team received several

10000 AUTO TAGS
= ISSUED IN STATE

Nearly 10000 automobile tags have
been purchased by North Dakotans,
according to Secretary of State Thos.
Hall on August 1. The exact number
ordered at the close of business July
81 was 69,562, and there was a good
grist in the mail the next morning.
"Seventy-five thousand will be about
the limit this year, said Secretary
Hall, "and there will lbe a slight in
crease in the demand from now on as
good many new cars will be sold as
soon as the crop is assured. It's hard
to tell what another year will bring
forth in the way of new machines. The
war will have considerable effect.
"The government may make it i'm
possible for the factories to turn out
large quantities if the war continues
long and then there is the additional
tax and the high price of gasoline.
Gas may be even impossible to get for
other than industrial purposes, and
that will cut down the increase in cars
Ito a considerable extent"

TWO MEN STRAND[ ON SC0W
JUST Above n !iAR|A| Ar |fi Fails

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Aug. 6.-Two
workmen were stranded tonight on q
scow, 1000 feet above the Horseshoe
Falls and in momentary danger of be-
ing swept over the brink of the catar-
act. The scow was swept down the
river late this afternoon when it broke
away from a tug.
The men are Gus Lofberg, Swed-
ish sailor, and George Harris, of Buf-
falo.
The scow was being used in the
river opposite Port Day, where a chan
mel for power plant intake is being
dredged. The current is swift and a
tug was holding the scow in position
to take on load of sand. The tow
rope parted and the scow with the two
men aboard was swept dow the river.
Within 1000 feet of the Horseshoe
Falls and about the same distance off
the Canadian share, the barge swung
broadside to the stream and lifted up
on shelving ledge of rock, where it
swayed momentarily and then held
fast.
The fire departments from both sides
OF the river were called out and life
saving crew was brought here.
An attempt to send a breeches
buoy to the marooned men ended in
failure shortly before midnight. Cap

Saving crew then sent to the station
for new gear, and it was said all fur
ther efforts to rescue the men would
be abandoned until daylight.
