unprecedented that it left the confer
ence on the verge of collapse Messrs
Orlando and Sonnino, the Italian pre-
mier and foreign minister, accepted
the challenge and, April "a, hastened
to Rome. There they secured a vote
OF confidence from the Italian parlia-
ment and thus triumphed over Mr..
Wilson. On April %, Mr.. Wilson
presented the revised covenant and
secured its acceptance in the confer
ence
BY this time the German delegates
had begun. to arrive in Paris. On
April 80, their principal representa-
tives came and then began the two
months of negotiations with Germany
which ended with the formal signing
of the treaty by the Allies, by Mr..
Wilson for the United States and by
Germany June 2S On June 30, the
president sailed from Brest and ar
rived in New York, July s. On July
10, he submitted the treaty to the SEN
ate.
Meantime, the senate-in session
since May 19-had impatiently de-
manded the treaty The text had
been made known to the German del
egates in April 1t had been pub
lished in various forms throughout
Europe and was in the hands of pri-
vate citizens in New York. But all
the demands of the senate were ig-
nOred. Mr.. Wilson's administration
was in Europe and no one in Wash
ington dared to act. Finally, June 8,
the senate obtained a copy of the
treaty from a newspaper correspond
ent But it took five hours of debate
to overcome the objections of the Will
son senators to allowing the text to
be printed in the Record. Then the
senate sat and waited for the presi-
dent to arrive. How strange was all
this quibbling over copies of the
treaty in the light of the farewell
speech of President Wilson to con
gress, December 2, 1918. In that ad-
dress, he said:
II shall be in close touch with you
and with affairs of this side of the
water, and you will know all that I
do.
II am the servant of the nation. I
can have no private thought or pur-
pose of my own in performing such an
errand. = = I shall count upon your
friendly countenance and encourage
ment
81 shall not be inaccessible. The
cables and the wireless will render me
available for any counsel or service
you may desire of me-"
For seven months Mr.. Wilson had
ignored all requests from congress
for information and had spurned all
suggestions of advice or criticism.
Even formal senate resolutions had
failed to move him. He would not
lift the veil which concealed his ac-
tivity in Paris and it's results. He
even went so far as to cable Mr. Glenn
enceau, refusing to accede to the de-
mand of the French senate for the
proceedings of the League commits
sion.
So it must have created strange
impression in senatorial minds, when,
in at last transmitting the treaty to
the senate, he said:
MY services and all the informa-
ton I possess will be at your dis

LEONIA PEOPLE ASKING $4,000
FOR BRIDGE ACROSS KOOTENAI

H. W. Rouse, one of the county
commissioners of Lincoln county
Montana, and Mr.. Stonechest, a mer-
chant of Leonia, were in the city
yesterday comforting with the county
commissioners in regard to the pro-
posed bridge across the Kootenai river
at Leonia.
The Leonia people have now secured
plans for bridge calling for an ex-
penditure of $4,000. OF this sum the
forestry department is appropriating
$30,00000; the state of Montana has
agreed to expend $4,000 and the state
of Idaho like sum; Lincoln county
is agreeing to appropriate $4,000 and
Boundary county is being asked to ap-
propriate $4,000. Unless the state and
county appropriations can be made
sure of this year the forestry depart
ment appropriation will revert back to
some other needed project and so the

JHAPIER III.
The President AGAINST the Senate.

The President Against the Senate.
The struggle to Americanize the
league really began with the Round
Robin resolution in the senate. March
3, 1919. The life of the sixty-fifth
congress expired March A. so the reso-
luton was easily defeated by the OBJ
jections of Wilson democrats. The
democrats were then in control of
both houses of the congress.
The sixty-sixth congress in both
chambers would be controlled by re-
publicans. Under the. constitution it
could not meet until December, 1919,
except at the call of the president.
While in Paris President Wilson had
let it be known he would not call a
special session until he brought home
the final text of the treaty Domestic
issues, however, forced his hand. On
May Z, 1919, at Paris, he signed the
call for a special session to meet
May 10.
Meantime, at the peace conference,
Mr.. Wilson laid the strategic lines
for his campaign. The challenge of
the Round Robin and the response
it called forth from the American
people, left no doubt that the "con-
stitutiOn" Of the league would never
be accepted as it stood. Changes
were made at Paris, but these scarce
ly touched the points that were vital
to the United States. Before sailing
the second time for France, March a,
the president had announced his plan
of operations. He would so inter-
twine the league and treaty that they
could not be separated. This meant
that by his decree they could be no
final peace in the world until the SEN
ate had bowed to his will The Euro
pean nations opposed this political
device. They wanted peace treaty.
They wanted it soon and they wanted
it signed and ratified by the United
States. Already precious months had
been wasted. Europe had spent a
winter of starvation, misery and di-
sease worse than any winter of the
war. Bolshevism threatened every
European government. President Will
son had toured England, France, Bel
gium and Italy. He had been well
coined as a hero, but he had spread
discomfort among the peoples, and
sowed the seeds of revolt against the
governments whose guest he was
Every day of delay threatened the
foundations of civilization in Europe.
But when he arrived in Versailles,
President Wilson silenced all pleas
for immediate peace. What were fam
inc and revolt to himl What though
another winter came with it's harvest
of DEATH What though war waged
anew in Europel He sought weapon
to use against the American senate
The arguments of the other peace
conferees were in vain. The league
of nations-as a covenant" instead
of a constitution" made the
first article of the treaty of Versailles
1t was not without struggle, but the
president was in fighting mood"
On April 23, in the controversy over
Fiume, he appealed openly to the
Italian people to repudiate their
peace delegates. 1t was an act so

Leonia people are making every ef-
fort to complete their plans for a
bridge at once.
The Leonia bridge proposition is a
meritorious one. The proposed bridge
would enable the Curley Creek folks
to get their timber and produce to a
close shipping point and many new
homesteaders would take up land now
vacant because of the hardships in
getting supplies in and sending pro-
duce out. The Leonia people argue,
truthfully, that Boundary county would
be money ahead in a short time by as
sisting the bridge project as the ferry
boat service which has been main
tanned for many years, is both made
quate and expensive. The Boundary
county commissioners are handicap
ped, however, by lack OF funds; they
will make final decision in this mat
ter today.

PREPARE FOR
COUNTY FAIR
nnvNITM LIST TO BE SENT TO
ruE FARMERS OF BOUNDARY
COUNTY THIS WEEK
offer MANY VALUABLE PRIZES
s,oek Certificates Being Issued Many
New Subscriptions.

The past week has been a strenuous
one for the executives of the Bound
orv w County Fair Association and many
II the important matters as we'll as
,be details of the county fair to be held
october 9TH, Sth and 9Th have been
settled.
Secretary w. o. Rosebaugh is en-
aeayoring to secure a carnival COM
nany to come here during the fair to-
iurnish amusements. 1t is also plan
ned to stage one and maybe three ball
games during the fair and to hold
dances each night on the big open-air
uayilion, the weather permitting. An
"a bv so foot tent has been ordered
and will be shipped here several days
ahead of the fair dates so that it may
be put up and be in readiness for fair
exhibits in plenty of time.
The past week Mr.. Rosebaugh has
been soliciting stock subscriptions and
nearly $4,000 has been subscribed and
large proportion of this amount has
been paid in. 1t is the, purpose of the
fair officials to use this money only
for permanent grounds and buildings
able to pay all it's expenses this year
out Of gate receipts and concessions.

Campbell and Treasurer Shultis wait
ed on the county commissioners yes
terday and asked for an appropriation

fall is just off the presses and will be
sent out Wednesday or Thursday of
this week. Handsome premiums are
being offered for all kinds of displays
and the prizes are much larger than

the size of Boundary county, consider
ing that we have so much undeveloped
land A large percentage of the prizes
too are in cash while the merchandise
premiums are all worth while and
useful articles.
cash prize Of $4,000 is being Of
fered for the best display by any single
farmer of agricultural, horticultural
and livestock exhibits, raised or grown
by him on a Boundary county farm.
This prize is in addition to the prizes

ers who desire to group their products.

cations on hand now A small fee
will be charged for space for adver-
tsing purposes but farm exhibitors
will be given space free.

tons and the complete premium list

people can get into eastern Alaska in the winter. The Canadians have stage route which in the winter they run in connection with their narrOW-guage railroad from White Horse to Dyson. It is the only way by which our people can get into the interior easily and rapidly. Practi- cally all the traffic and business of the Yukon territory, which is part of Canada, and practically all of the traffic and business of interior eastern Alaskan pass through Skag- way, so that the traffic and com merce there is 90 per cent Canadian. The traffic furnished by Americans there is that of the people who de- sire to get into eastern Alaska by that route, it being the most con- venient.
 There is no other direct railroad route to navigation on the Yukon. The Copper River route goes up the Copper River to the mouth of the Chitina, and from there branches off to the copper mines From the mouth of the Chitina river up to the head of navigation on the Tanana river, near Fairbanks, the distance is probably between 20 0and 300 miles.
 Our government made great mis- take when they inaugurated rail- road building in Alaska by not fol- lowing that route. There was broad-guage railroad built from the sea at Cordova up to the mouth of the Chitina and to the copper mines, and the government made a great mistake by not adopting that line and building from the mouth of the Chitina river to Fairbanks, a dis tance of 200 miles. They could have built that road within the time that they have been building on the western side of the country and for all the money they have spent up to date.
 What have they accomplished with the other end of the line? Instead of adopting that line, they adopted the line from Seward. They bought from the Canadians, dismantled railroad, half completed, unfit for real traffic, and they had to rehad- ilitate it from Seward up to the east end of Turnagain Arm-over 100 miles. They had to practically re- build it. Then they had to build on the north side of Turnagain Arm. cut into solid rock for $ distance of nearly 100 miles until they got to Knick Arm, as it is called, and up there they have laid out town. They have built the railroad up to that town near the mouth of Knik Arm or Knik Bay, and they have built a branch up to the Matanuska coal fields; but aside from that branch they are as far from the ocean to get to the interior as when they started.
 In other words, the whole distance from Knik Arm, which is the inner most part of Cook Inlet, is uncom-

SENATOR TELLS PLAIN FACTS
 ABOUT ALASKA

Tn discussing the American mer chant marine bill, before the senate on May 20, particularly with refer ence to the provisions affecting Alaska, Senator Knute Nelson very aptly said:
 MT. President, it is very easy te surround this matter with glamour in favor of maintaining American shipping. I wish I had 8 large maT office, for it would give much bet ter idea than Senators can have without map of the location of Skagway, the port to which the Sen. ator refers.
 The Canadian government has given a small subsidy for carrying the mail from Vancouver to Victoria, the capital of British Columbia, to Skagway. Skagway is in American territory and is an American port, but from Skagway it IS only 17 miles to the summit of White Pass. Fronm SkagWay their runs narrow guage railroad the first one built in that section and the one which gave us our entrance to Alaska over the White Pass to White Horse on the Lewis river, the main trib- utary to the Yukon. That river IS about 150 miles long, but 8 little less than 30 miles, constituting that portion from SkagWay to the sum- init of the White Pass, is in our territory. There would be no traffic at Skagway if it were. not for the traffic that comes through there from the Yukon territory-from Dawson and eastern Alaska. As I have said, that was the original route of our entrance into Alaska. When the first stampede to Alaska occurred travellers went from Skag way over the White Pass. A cit 1zen of my state built the wagon road there, but was almost immed lately superseded by the White Pass Railroad, a narrow-guage built by the Canadians. ...
 Now, I will ask Senators to fol low me a monument. When a tray e1er goes by the Inner Passage, as it is called, from Seattle to Skag way, the first stage of the journey from Seattle to Vancouver is' should say, between 100 and 200 miles, Then he must traverse Bri tish Columbian territory for a con siderable distance up to the Pan handle of Alaska He passes that and goes by water through the mar row passage between the islands to Skagway, which is at the foot o1 the White Pass. When he gets tC Skagway, if he desires to reach the interior, he has to go over the White Pass railroad, over 100 miles o1 which, as I have said, is in Cana dian territory. At the end of the railroad he will strike Whitehorse' as the place is called, on the Lewis river, the main tributary, l repeat of the Yukon river. At that point steamboat navigation begins down to Dawson, the capital of the Yukon Territory, a distance of between 4OO and 500 miles, all fin Canadian terr itory. Then when the traveller reaches Dawson there are still be- tween 15O and 200 miles before he reaches American territory at Eagle on the Yukon river.
 Going down from Dawson the first station he reaches of any account is one called Fortymile. The town of Fortymile is on the Yukon river in Canadian territory, and the min CTS and the mines back of it on the Fortymile creek and it's tributaries all have their outlet at the little steamboat landing called Fortymile. That is the only route by which our
