A little later he noticed that they had approached closer to him and were making an effort to surround both him and the team. Unhitching his dogs in the screen of a bunch of brush he sent them on home and himself climbed a tree Within short time the wolves had the tree surrounded, which was to the trapper's game.

DEPENDED UPON THEIR RIFLES
 FOR \ LIVING
Detailed Account Is Given of the PeriIous Trip in the Arctic on an Ice
 FIOe.

SEATTLE, April 16.-Arctic ice packs. in their driftings up around
 the top of the world, follow no set
 schedule and no particular route, according to Martin Kilian, Seat tie boy who was a member of Stor-
 ker Storkerson's exploration expe- dition which landed on the northern ice off Alaska last spring in the hope that it would be carried west to Siberia.
 Northern drifts played a cruel
 trick on the Storkerson party. In stead of carrying their ice pack west they moved the ice north, then landing the explorers but a compar- atively short distance from Barter Island, near their starting place. Kilians sister, Miss Gudrin Kilian
 of Seattle, recently received let
 ter from her brother. The letter was written from Barter Island De
 eember 11th and was brought out by a Royal Northwest Mounted Pc | lice patrol sent north to the Arctic Ocean from Dawson, Y. T. While on the ice, the members Of the Storkerson expedition lived in a tent and depended altogether on
 their rifles for food. "Plenty of polar bears and seals were found, y
 Kilian said.
 At times the heat bothered them. eorp6c ctranCn hut it
 got so warm on that ice up beyon9
 the Arctic Circle that it was un- comfortable in the tent" the letter
 said.
 Vilhjamur Stefansson, returned Canadian Arctic explorer, planned the Storkerson ice drift. Stefansson hoped the ice would drift west to i Siberia along route that Stefan sson's boat, the Karluk, was carried 1 by the ice pack in 1914. Stefansson hoped to make the float himself ! but he became ill and turned the
 leadership over to Storkerson, his lieutenant.
 The Storkerson party landed or
 the ice pack in February, 1918. All
 summer long they drifted about un-
 der the midnight sun and finally
 landed November [, defeated but
 alive. Authorities describe the trip
 one of the most spectacular and per i ilous ventures in the tragic history
 of the Arctic exploration.
 Storkerson had four men with | MDGik and two men named Knight and Gumaer. Mask recently arrived a' Fairbanks, Alaska, on his way tf ] the outside world StOrkerson is be lieved to be on his way to Ottawa
 to report to the Canadian Govern
 ment, which financed the expedi- tion.

 THINKS CAPITAL TAX,

NEW YORK, April 22.-Charles H. Grasty in a London cable to tho Herald quotes a British official as follows
 .T shall not be surprised to see a capital tax levied in England. The levy of such a tax would prove a complex and drastic proceeding; but if it were done, the recovery from the war depression would be much more rapid. If all countries had the nerve to adopt this method, the world would seen get back to nor mal."

VIII Cut Money Measures.

The Republicans of the house are
threatening to tie up important pend
ing legislation because the Democrats
of the senate sliced off $4,000 from
the appropriation bill for assessing
and collecting the revenue.
The bill as passed by the house pro-
vides for an appropriation of $500, 900,
which is 100000 in excess Of the ap-
preparation of two years ago for the
same purpose. The state commission
in its budget recommended $450,o00.
This amount was increased $4,000 by
the senate committee in amending the
house bill.
The bill also provides the necessary
travelling expenses of the state auditor
and his representatives in visiting the
various counties to examine accounts
against the state, payable out of the
appropriation.
This feature of the bill has been
eliminated in the senate amendment.
Duncan, chairman of the committee,
said he thought this could be taken
care of in the general appropriation
for the office of state auditor.
Chairman Viles of the house COM
mittee declared the house would re-
fuse to concur in the amendment
striking out the following clause Of
the bill:
And the necessary travelling ex-
renses of the state auditor or his rep
resentative in visiting the various
counties to examine into matters af-
fecting the accounts of revenue col
lectors and verifying accounts against
the state payable out of this appro-
priation."
Viles said he had requested the SEN
ate committee to reconsider its action.
He said that if they did not some inno-
cent departments would suffer.
Some politicians are attempting to
charge that Casey of Kansas City is
responsible for striking out that part
of the measure affecting the auditors
examiners.
Duncan, said, however, that Casey
had made no request to strike out that
part of the bill.

ST. LOUIS EMPLOYERS TAKE A
BIG DELEGATION TO THE
CAPITAL CITY.
FEAR BIG CUT IN WAGES
Satisfied That Nine Hours is Not
Harmful-Men Might Be EN-
ployed to Take Places If the
Day is Shortened.

A large delegation of st. Louis
women, representing many thousand
women employed in department and
other mercantile stores and in numer-
GUS manufacturing plants, probably
killed the bill proposed by the Mis-
souri, Federation of Labor to put the
women upon an eight-hour day. Nine
hours now is established by law.
The women appeared before the
Joint Labor committees Of the senate
and house and told the members the
women are entirely satisfied with the
hours and that the enactment of the
eight-hour law would operate to de-
priye them of their Saturday after
moons off and to reduce the earning
of women on piece work commissions.
After the meeting a labor member
of the house committee said a bill
recommending forty-eight hour
week would be reported out by the
house committee, but that it stood no
chance Of passage. He said he
thought the senate committee would
also report forty-eight hour week,
but with no expectation of passing it.
R. T. Wood, president of the Mis-
souri, Federation of Labor, and c. G.
Brittingham, member of the labor
delegation which has been at Jeffer-
son City in the interest of the labor
program and workmens compensa-
tion, strongly urged the passage of
the bill. Wood referred to a strike
of women in 1915.
Some of the women said that they
feared the eight-hour law might re-
suit in men displacing them.
1t developed that the majority of
the industries have week less than
fifty hours of length for women and
that some worked them only forty
seven and one-half hours a week.
E. E. Brazelli, of Bemis Brothers
Bag Company, Charles E. White of
Fulton Bag and Cotton Company, T.
l.. Sayman, a soap manufacturer,
and K. F. Niemoeller representing the
Associated Retailers, opposed the
bill.

Governor Nearly Loses.


One of Governor Gardner's revenue
bills, amending the income tax law
so as to prohibit exemptions on the
part of those who have paid state
taxes and exhibited their receipts as
an offset to the income tax levied
against them, had narrow escape
in the senate. Several republican
senators saved the measure from de-
feat when vote was finally taken on
its engrossment.
The bill was introduced by Senator
Duncan of Lincoln and he called it up.
Senator Gardner of st. Louis County
at once opened an attack ON the meas
ure, and was followed by Senators
Elder of st. Louis, Green of Kansas
City, Gray of Jasper and Macarthur Of
Sedalta.
1t developed during the debate that
the collections under the income tax
law last year were some 100000, and
it was estimated that the exemption
contained in section 80 of the act
caused a loss to the state of fully
100000.

GOING BACK TO NATURE
BY DIR. W. LUCAS.

People get sick because they go
away from Nature, and the only way
to get well is to go back. Something
grows out Of the ground in the form
Of vegetation to cure almost every Ill.
Some Of these vegetable growths are
understood by man, and some are not.
Animals, 1t would seem, know what to
do when they are sick better than
men and women. Observers have
noted that sick horse, dog or cat
will stop eating food and seek out
some vegetable growth in the field or
yard. which, when found and eaten,
often restores appetite and health.
Haven't you seen these animals do
this very thing yourself?
DR.. Pierce, Of Buffalo, N. Y, long since
found the herbs and roots provided by
Nature to overcome constipation, and he
had these vegetables collected and made
