A Change of Heart.

1t was declared in authoritative quar-
tors yesterday that the Marine manage
ment has suffered a change of heart
with respect to the proposed sale OF
British ships and subsequent liquidation
and the circular sent to the stockholders
was pointed TO in support of this theory.
That many stockholders. particularly
owners OF the common shares, are not in
sympathy with the plan Is known. the
feeling being entertained by many that
the property is worth more to them rs
an operating entity than rs a sale to the
British syndicate. II has been indi-
Gated that the chances for the final con-
summation OF the sactiaon with the
British interests are diminishing and
that large number OF stockholders are
coming daily to the belief that their in
terests will be best served by keeping
and operating the properties The ac-
ton of the Marine management In point
ing out to the stockholders the extent
OF the improvement In the earnings OF
the British and American properties is
regarded in some quarters as very sig
nificant in its bearing on the attitude
OF the management toward the proposed
sale and liquidation.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.


Sentiment at tho close OF business yes
terday appeared to be considerably d.
vided as to the immediate prospects of
security prices, but there was an unmis-
takabiy better feeling prevalent than at
the close OF the previous day, when the
sudden bear drive upset the markets
equilibrium and caused many people to
turn temporary Bolsheviks. A resume
OF Tuesdays break. although causing
many heavy Individual losses, indicated
that nothing more than some stop loss
orders in the highly speculative special
ties were uncovered and that the public
profits in the present market were so
enormous that a more striking develop
ment than the bear coup IL needed to
reach the main body of stop loss orders.
Recoveries in many Of the issues yester-
day were not as g. cat as might shave
been expected. but the trend was dis
tinctly upward, a circumstance favorably
commented on by most OF the commits
sion house advices which went out after
the markets close. There is no doubt
that the decline has done the market 2
world of good. In the light Of recent
advances It would be entirely abnormal

Marines April Earnings.

The earnings OF the International
Mercantile Marine Company - that is,
the combined earnings OF the British and
American properties-are improving at
rapid rate, according to returns for
April. A circular sent out by the com
pany to It's shareholders says that earn
ings of these properties during that
month showed such improvement that
the combined net earnings OF your
British and American properties for 1919
will probably exceed by not less than
from 26 TO so per cent the average net
earnings OF 1917 and 1918. which were
respectively sl2.171.54l and sll.4s8,-
o74." The significance OF this improve
ment during April lies in the fact that
II was In April, for the first timo since
the war, that the majority of the ma =
rine properties have been operated un-
der more nearly normal conditions"
Although the exact figures for April
were not given out, II was estimated
that the net profits for the month APP
proximated sl.S60.0 900, or at the annual
rate OF Sl6.200,00O.

MYSTERIOUS DISTURBANCE
I'M THE SALTON SEA

LOS NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. here from
the Imperial Valley, California, told OF
recent disturbance in Salton Sea, a
body of water formed there twelve
years ago when the Colorado river
overlooked its banks and coursed into
part of that section that is below
sea level.
This disturbance, which occurred
two days before slight earthquake
was felt at San Diego, 100 miles or
more to the west, consisted of the pro-
longed eruption-for an hour or more
of a number of mud geysers, which
tossed a mixture of mud and water,
pearl grey in color, to a height of so
feet
Biologists of the district hold a
theory that the geysers, which have
erupted there before, but never to such
a height or for so long time serve
as vents for gases formed far below
the silt which forms the soil Of the
valley to an estimated depth of 1900
feet

SCHOOL OF MINES
PLANS MUCH WORK
DEAN f. A. THOMSON OUTLINES
THE PROGRAM TO BE CAR
RIED OUT IN IDAHO


The following outline. of worl
being done or contemplated by thu
State Bureau of Mines and Geology
organized at the last session of tn,
legislature, has been issued BY
Francis A. Thomson, dean of the
School of Mines of the University Of
Idaho, who is secretary and executive
for the bureau. This work follows il
accordance with the division and ap-
propriation into three different Sec
tions, namely, cooperation with the
u. S. Geological Survey, cooperation
with the u. S. Bureau of Mines, and
work done Independently by the state
bureau.
Under the head of cooperative work
with the u S. G. S., the. following
work has been provided for:
Primary triangulation in the Clear
water area, lying between the Pull
man quadrangle on the west and the
Avery Lolo quadrangle on the east.
Mr.. D. S. Birkett, typographical en-
gineer for the U. S. Geological Survey
has been in the field since early in
June and expects to cover the speci-
fled area during the present field
season,
Topographic survey of the Teton
coal basin. Since the above agreement
was signed, the secretary has been
advised by the director of the U. S.
G. S. that survey of area had already
been requested by the Federal Geolo-
gist and that this area will probably
be covered during the present field
season without assistance from the
state.
A thorough topographic geological
survey, during the present field sea-
son, of the Seven Devils area. The
quadrangle in question being Is min
square and extending from Long. 45
to Long. 45-15, and Lat. 1860 to
116-45. The general geology of this
area by arrangement with the U. S.
G. S. will be studied by Professor D.
C. Livingston, the school of Mines
Geologist, with the assistance of
specialist in contact metamorphic de-
posts, to be sent out by the U. S.
8. s. The above arrangement for
carrying out the work in the Seven
Devils comparatively with the u S.
}. S. ought to leave ample funds for
/ general reconnaissance survey of
he central Idaho region south of the
Salmon river and east of the South

TOOK
A TERRIBLE TOLL
NATIVE POPULATION ALMOST
WIPED OUT BY TERRIBLE
PLAGUE LAST WINTER

FAIRBANKS, Alaska Gone are
all but the memories of the Spanish
Influenza epidemic in the States, but
up in the north of Seward peninsula
the struggle with the disease still con-
tinues; its memories will ever be
vivid. Like the typhus of Europe,
the disease did its work silently and
thoroughly, leaving its heroes and
heroines and toll Of dead that per-
haps will never be known.
In the vicinity of Teller, Mrs. Ber-
tina Gehrman, postmistress, writes,
scarcely dozen adult natives remain
alive. Across the bay from Teller
Mrs. Fosso took care of the entire
native mission, her husband also be-
ing seriously ill with the influence.
Some twenty five native children fell
to her tender hands and most of
them were saved This heroic white
woman, Mrs. Gehrman relates, went
to the river for ice, brought wood and
coal for the fires, and when three
adult natives died in her home, was
compelled to drag the bodies out by
herself. In spite Of her efforts, how
ever, seventy-two of the natives sue
cumbed and were buried at the mis-
sion in a long trench.
From Teller, the storekeeper,
man by the name of Winfield, with
one other assistant, both still unre
covered, started out to visit native
villages and bring what aid they
could On the American river they
found woman and five children in
a cabin with seven dead bodies, some
of which had been dead for week.
At Agiapuk, twenty-five miles from
Teller, only three little children sur
vived the influenza. They were in
bed with their dead mother. In this
village twenty-three bodies were
buried.
At Cape Prince of Wales 1856 ma
lives died, and SO on throughout the
vast districts whose white silences
we're made all the more grim by the
stalking terror of unseen death, more
terrible because aid was miles and
niles distant and pitifully insufficient
