The Mountain States Telephone
and Telegraph Company

telegraph, telephone and mail services all
broke completely down. Al Philadelphia
physician was unable to get into tele-
phOnic communication with New York
physician until after lapse of twenty
four hours. A rush telegram sent at 10
o'clock one Thursday morning did not
reach the New York doctor till $40 Fri.
day afternoon. The package of serum
asked for in the telegram was put in a
central branch postoffice in New York at
o'clock Friday night Eighteen hours
later DIR. Beebe the New York physician
received word that it had not been deliv-
cred in Philadelphia. He then dispatched
another package by special messenger,
who beat by two hours the package
mailed, with special delivery stamp, and
marked urgent, eighteen hours before.
Meanwhile the woman whose life it had
been hoped to save by the use of the SER
UNI, had died. This transaction began at
10 o'clock Thursday morning when the
rush telegram was sent, and was closed
at o'clock Saturday afternoon. Yet the
two cities are separated by only ninety
miles. There are trains every hour.
The two physicians did their best The
telephone office in New York was told
that the case was urgent. But it was un-
able for eighteen hours to discover that
DR.. Beebe had telephone. The telegram
was marked rush, and yet it was not de-
liyered till nineteen hours after it had
been sent. 1t took twenty hours for spe-
cial delivery package to cover the dis
lance. Here then were tests for all three
services, and all failed The case is not I'M
usual except as a human life was at
stake. There are many such every day.
Conditions, as has been said, were all fav-
orable.
Such is government operation under
Mr.. Burleson The mails, the telephone
and telegraph are all under his control
and the railroads are bein goperated by
the government. Better time was made
in, the old stage coach days than was made
by the special delivery package in this
case. 1t all throws light on the beauties
of government operation, especially I'M

THE RED BLOOD OF NATIONALIST

The United States needs larger meas
ure of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, econom-
ic and cultural. 1t needs that more than it
needs the protection of internationalism.
To enter league which will outlaw war
is one thing. 1t Is another to enter a
league which will undertake to admins
ter the whole world as a political trust.
We have still to work out our own pro-
blem of nationality under conditions
which separate us as new world power
rom the complexities and COMMISSIONS of
old world politics. Why should we drop
that problem and abandon our American
mission in order to become a member of
an international. system whose center of
gravity must always remain in Europe?

THE WILSONIAN WAY

President Wilson is skillful rather
than an overscrupulous opponent in the
method he employs in public controver-
sy. BY nature, training and experience,
ne is dogmatic, even dictatorial in prac-
tice, for all his urbanity of utterance
pleasing platform manners, and other en-
gaging qualities. The posture he has
struck in support of the British scheme
for league of nations, which he is spon-
soring with the fervor of an originator, is
in pursuance of his usual way of whip
ping public opinion to his side whenever
congress or his countrymen seem to be
slow in responding to his summons. In
effect he tells the American people THAI
they must accept this scheme of British
genesis, as set forth in the twenty-six ar
ticles, else they can have no society of
nations; that they must ratify this
scheme as section of the treaty of peace
in exacly the form that he brings back,
ell they can have no peace.-Boston

CLEAR THE AIR

Before the debate over the Paris cove
:nant for league of nations proceeds
any further we suggest that certain con-
spicuous fallacies be corrected by those
who wish to think clearly and fairly.
The first Of these fallacies is that OPP
position to the Paris covenant in it, pres
emit form is opposition to the idea of the
league of nations.
This is absolutely false. There are as
good friends Of the league of nations ideal
among the critics of the Paris covenant
as among its partisans. The Tribune be-
lieves, indeed, that in criticizing the Paris
covenant candidly land vigorously it is
doing better service to the cause of world
peace and durable national accord than 1t
would be by swallowing this carelessly
drawn document whole.
1t does not seem to have occurred to
that impassioned professionals which is
most ardent in its acceptance of the Par
is covenant that if the fundamental law
of the league of nations is obscure, am
biguous, inconsistent and conflicting as to
Its provisions it becomes breeding place
of future Misunderstanding, frictions,
and possible explosions. Common sense
and common experience teach that if
contract is intended to be kept it should
be set forth in terms as clear as can be
devised. If it is not there is no meeting
of minds which is the essence of agree
ment.
Mr.. Wilson announced that the Paris
covenant could not be amended. II it
cannot be amended then it should not be
accepted and will not be, since no govern
ment has right to enter into solemn
covenant without knowing to what
the covenant binds it. While the Paris
covenant has been under examination
men of experience have interpreted its
Important points in sharply conflicting
ways Mr. Taft, who, with characteristic
good nature" has accepted it as satisfac.
tory, is kept busy explaining its implica-
lions, differences and dubieties But 9TH
er men at least as able flatly disagree
with him.
And this brings us to another fallacy
assumed by many who are outraged be-
cause the document is being criticized
and opposed. These partisans assume
that the Paris covenant will prevent war
and that therefore all who oppose its
adoption without change are callously in
different to the horrors Of war, if indeed,
they are not in favor of them. We are
&olemnly warned thatlif the Paris cove

Now that the "flu" is fleeing away, and
the legislature has adjourned, let's all get
down to business and keep Logan and
Cache county in the role of the cleanest
fairest and most progressive city and

MINE OFFICIAL
 IS HOME AGAIN
SUPT JOHN A. DAVIS, OF MINING STATION RETURNS FROM
 LIVENGOOD REGION.

John A. Davis, superintendent of the Fairbanks mining experimental sta. tion, returned to town on Carl Whites launch yesterday after an absence of s"veral days. MT. Davis has been on q visit to the Tolovana district to interest the miners there in the work of the station here and offer them any cooperation possiblo in assisting them in boosting the mining industry of the district.
 He reports the region in goo shape and much dirt being taken out. AL tho there has been some rainfall on the West Fork and on the main Tolo- vana river recently, none fell on Livengood creek while he was thal e and water consequently was low However, the operators are still busy and when the rain does come will be prepared to make the most of it. Mir. Davis secured twenty-three new mem. bers to the Alaska Chapter of the Am. erican Mining Congress during his district.

EXAMINER GOES
 OVER ACCOUNTS
M. c. MASTERSON, CHECKING OVER FEDERAL OFFICES AND
 ACCOUNTS, IS HERE.

Examiner M. c. Masterson, of the department of justice, arriv1d in town on the steamer Alaska Thursday night for the purpose of checking over federal office accounts in this division. He will be engaged on this work for several weeks, as there is an unusual accumulation of bu;'ress
 It is the custom of the department to have each office checked bi-ancual- ly. Last year was the regular time for an examiner to visit the Fairbanks federal offices. but On accoun. os sev- eral of the men in this branch going into the service and new work being given the remaining members, it was impossible for man to be spared for the trip. Examiner Zimmerman was here three years ago, the last time check was made. MT. Zin,nler- man is now at Juneau examining the offices of the First division.
 MT. Masterson has been on the coast of Alaska several times in the past, but this is his first trip into the interior. He will probably make an effort to see the country adjacent to town if his time permits and he does not have to hurry down river to make connections. .. |.

DANIELS WIRES
 TO COMMANDER
 OF NEW FLEET

WASHINGTON, July 18.-(P)-Sec- retary of Navy Josephus Daniels sent lengthy telegram to Admiral Hugh Rodman, commander of the new Pa cific fleet, tonight in which he ask ed the commander to extend to the officers and men of the fleet his wishes for a safe and pleasant jour ney. Besides bidding Godspeed to the officers and men of the fleet, the telegram drew vivid comparison of this fleet and the one which sailed around the world eleven years ago.
 The vessels sail tomorrow on their long journey to the Pacific coast making the trip by way of the Pana- ma canal. It is expected the first stop on the western shore of Ameri- ca will be made at San Francisco.

CROSS TWELVE
 TIMES IN ALL
AMERICANS CROSS THE MEXICAN BORDER TWELVE TIMES IN
 SIX MONTHS.

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 18.-(P)
 Within the past six months Am rrican troops have been forced to cross the Mexican border twelve times in order to protect American lives and property. None of the crossings have resulted in as serious an engagement as that at Juarez few weeks past.
 The Mexican bandits persist in con- ducting raids on American ranches lying near the border line, and the troops are kept busy policing the on tire border against the encroach- ments of the robbers. Every time the Americans have entered Mexican territory it has been in pursuit oi Mexican bandits and, even then, no effort has been made to follow them any great distance.
 On various occasions the soldiers found the dead bodies of Mexicans lying by the side of the trails or off in the sagebrush. In some cases the dad Mexicans wore the uniforms of Carranza soldiers. The officials do not know whether these men were de- serters from the federal loops or had been killed in engagements with the rebels,

SEPARATION IS
 NOT APPROVED
GERMAN NATIONAL ASSEMBLY REJECTS PROPOSAL MADE BY
 THE SOCIALISTS

WEIMAR July IS,NP)-In today's session of the national assembly, a proposal introduced by the radical socialist members was considered and finally rejected. The resolution call ed for the complete separation of the church and the state but it did not receive the support of the more con. servative members of the assembly and, so, failed to be adopted.
 The socialists have long been agi. tating the question of this separation claiming the church and state should never be united. Having only min. ority in the assembly, however, the socialists could not succeed in getting their motion passed

POSTPONE AUTO RACE TIL NEXT
 WEEK SOMETIME
ABSENCE OF BOB sOMMERS WILL CAUSE DISAPPOINTMENT OF PROPOSED AUTO RACE AT THE PARK SUNDAY-BALL GAME TO BE ATTRACTION.

Local motor enthusiasts were some. what disappointed yesterday when it was announced that the automobile race scheduled for Sunday afternoon between Bob Sommers and T. A. Mar quam had been called off for the pres: ent. It will probably be pulled off within the next two weeks, or as soon as Mir. Sommers' official duties as mine inspector will permit.
 Hc left town yesterday morning with R. D. Menzie and R. c. Wood in the latter's launch for the TOlovana district. He had not intended to make this trip until the work in this immediate vicinity had been com pleted, but as be will be able to save considerable time by making the trip in Mir. Woods launch, he postponed his inspection Of local mines until later.
 He will probably be in the Tolovana about a week. returning with the oth- CTS of the party about July 2Sth. When he returns, he said before leaving, he would show Tom Marquam how a Ford should be driven in order to take first money. The latter declared that Bob is afraid to try it again, after losing twice on the same track so the argument is still unsettled.
 The attraction at the park Sunday will be a baseball game between the Reds and the F. c. Co.'s outfit The proceeds of this game will be donated to the gymnasium to be built as a memorial for Fairbanks war dead. A big crowd is expected at this game.

COAST WORKERS ORDERED TO GO
 BACK TO WORK

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1S.-R)- The electrical brotherhood issued an order this evening directing the striking telephone workers on the Pa cific coast to return to work on Mon day morning The order states that this resumption of work is only pend ing an adjustment of the strikers demands by the wire control board Unless some agreeable settlement of the differences can be made within reasonable time by the board it is claimed the workers will again be directed to walk out.
 TOLD NOT TO OBEY
 The local strike committee, which is directing the strike now on by the coast telephone and electrical workers, sent telegrams this evening to all the local unions asking them not to heed the order put out direct ing the workers to return to work on Monday morning.
 The committee states in the tele- grams that it is believed the order was issued by the international of ficerS without sufficient investiga- tion into the situation being made. The committee does not think the higher officers have found that the workers interests have been proper ly safeguarded and it is, therefore, advising the unions not to take any definite action until some agreement has been reached with the wire con- trol board.

LATEST REPORTS FROM KOYN- KUK SAY STRIKE NOT AS BIf; AS ADVERTISED AND PEOPLE ARE NOT EXCITED ABOUT ANY. THING.

According to information received in town yesterday afternoon the re- ported strike on Bottles river, in the Koyukuk district, has all fizzled out. "No excitement in the Koyukuk" Is tho word as received here from all thentic sources, and 1t sets at rest rumors that creekful of gold had been uncovered in the far northern district.
 The report will set at ease num- Der of. people who have been waiting expectantly for some definite 70, rd from the seene of the supposed dis covery. Many oldtimers have been ready to pull out the minute definite pay was in sight. They can now turn their attention to other fields and await next years strike in the Koyu- kuk.

that Rev. Lumpkin might soon be es- tablished on the Pacific coast, and that in the future he might again enter the Alaskan service. "It won't be many years before someone will take my place." said the Bishop, "and it is not improbable that it will fall to MT. Lumpkin."
 Deeply touched by the occasion, MT. Lumpkin responded feelingly to the presentation, expressing his re gret that his Mate" could not be there to share the joy of it with him, and his sorrow at the parting soon to come. In conclusion he said, "I wish no higher honor, nor greater lmeed of praise than this-that you have given me the right-or shall say the privilege-of calling you friend"

MARKET PRICES CHANGE ON FEW
 BASIC STAPLES

The effect of outside market con ditions upon the local market was felt yesterday when the Northern Commer- cial company announced several changes in commodities just received from the states. Several of these commodities have raised and others are lower, while number of others remain unchanged from the old price levels.
 Butter was advanced yesterday 20 cents pound. Cream took jump of $20O per case. Three brands of flour, Pillsbury, Gold Medal and Occi- dent advanced $2.0O per gunny of 100 pounds, soft Hours are raised 50 cents per hundred while all blended flour shows no change in price. Sugar also advanced $1.00 per hundred. Cheese 10 cents per pound, candles 50 cents per case, while coffee in single pound cans raised 121h cents per pound

High grade gasoline, 6S degree proof, also ad- vanced $1.O0 per case, but the lower grades of motor gas is not affected.
 Other changes in the local market can be expected as this years pur- chases arrive. Some of them will in crease the present costs, and others reduce them.
