whole ship, the only sacred spot be-
ing the bridge.
"The sentiments of the rescued
found expression in a touching little
function on the officers deck, after the
vessel had come alongside, where Cap
tain Humphrey and his officers were
garlanded and an educated Indian in
government employ here expressed in
moving language how grateful those
rescued, as well as their relatives and
friends, were for the timely help given
by Captain Humphrey. his officers and
crew. But for their prompt and noble
response, he said, over 600 precious
souls now safe in Penang would prob
ably have been drowned, including his
OWL wife and child.

Spouse, said he was much touched by
the spirit animating the courtesies ex-

children and 574 adults, went ashore,

to the coolie depot to await transport
to India by the Tara. Nearly all
had small bundles of personal belong
ings, and n man carried a tin box
containing 10000 rupees. 1t is stated
that a large sum of gold, undeclared
and hidden among the cargo and pas
sengers, estimated at a million dollars,

The British tanker Mytilus, which also

Rubbing an impatient side against a
Staten island pier is the steamship
West Modus, Oregon built, and just
back after a year of poking an inquir-
ing nose into the harbors of the world.
She was launched at Portland a year
ago last February, and the first year
of her existence has been a most event
full one. After carrying -four to Triest
for the American relief commission,
the West Modus began her second vOy-
age from New York on August 18,
1918, when she sailed for Patras by
the way of Philadelphia.
The men on board printed a news
paper, the West Modus Messenger, and
in it they %recounted some of the ad-
ventures that befell the ship and those
who formed the crew. Robert N. Tay-
Tor. the supercargo. was the managing
editor; Third Officer Herschel E. Cur
rey, assistant managing editor, and

was news editor.
The most notable event of the yoy-
age was the rescue of Gil lives from
the British steamship Frazilka, which
went ashore on the rocks Of Great
Nicobar island on the night of October
80. She took the rescued to Penang.
The arrival of the West Modus and
the landing of the survivors was thus
reprinted from the Penang Gazette:

city a vote equal to all Of its three

being in the wide end of the c6unty
it has a large territory to the north,
west and east that will support it

nizing the justice Of the leagues
cause and the need of clean, fair
representative government by the
whole people, has won the friend
ship and confidence of a large part
of the farmer labor body, regardless
of where it is found in the county.
Besides this, Froid, the one town of
size in the county that is not a con-
tender for county seat, has declar-
ed itself openly in favor of Wolf
Point. The Froid country, being To-
Gated at a considerable distance from
Wolf Point, its support means enough

reasonably sure of winning perman-
emily the county seat honors at this
election. w. !.

in case Wolf Point fails to pass the
so per cent goal.
Each town will of course get its
own vote practically solid and a ma
jority of the votes Immediately sur
rounding it, and each will fight for a
share of the outside vote. Poplar
has the advantage of a stand-in with
the county administration and the
big state machine generally consider
ed to be backed and endorsed by the
mining Interests Of the western part
Of the state. The power of the ma
chine will undoubtedly be exerted in
Poplar's favor. This fact being gen
orally recognized has already result
ed in d~ivorcing the League and Labor
vote from any feeling of friendship
for Poplar, This is only natural since
Poplar, its political leadexs, and its
newspaper, which is it mouthpiece,
have in the course Of faithful service
to the interests and the machine
missed no opportunities to register its
antagonism to the farmers organiza-
ton.
Since the first movement toward
the creation of a new county from
the southern part Of Sheridan, the
Poplar wire-pullers, assisted by those
Of CuIbertson and Mondak, made 1t
clear that it was their intention to
have a League-proof county. When
the Froid country, well known to be
strongly Nonpartisan, sent %represen-
tatives to a county division confer
ence. they were denied seats and
plainly told that it was because they
were considered to be un-American
and "bolsheviki."
Petitions Turned Down
When the Froid people wanted a
special election on county seat in or
der to get it away from the extreme
" unsuitable location at Mondak,
the Poplar and Mondak men on the
DOarn OF cOHlullSsiOieiS HdHulsu cN
Of the two petitions in a manner
that snaeked strongly Of arbitrary
action. During the recent primary
campaign the Poplar Standard bristl-
ed with inuendo and direct comment,
barbed with wit and sarcasm at the
expense Of the League. This is re-
lated TO show why Poplar can expect
nothing but opposition from League
members, out over the county.
The Points Strength
Wolf Point goes into the fight with
the advantage q having right in the
