MISSISSIPPI RIVER
GRADUALLY RISING

Memphis, Tenn, March 2O.-The
Mississippi river guage at Memphis
showed 35.7 feet, a rise of 0.9 in "a
hours. About the same rate of rise is
expected for the next three days,
the weather bureau here announced,
although heavy rains north of here on
Saturday night and Sunday may make
the rise here more rapid than is now
expected.
Weather bureau officials stated that
with the water now in sight in tribu-
taries of the Mississippi, the stage at
Memphis will hardly exceed 40 feet,
which will probably be reached next
Saturday. A stage of 40 feet is looked
for at Helena, Ark.
Rivermen state that although al
most every island in the Mississippi
from Cairo to New Orleans is under
water, the rise has been so gradual
that all persons living on these is
lands and on the unprotected low
lands had an opportunity to remove
all their possessions to a place of
safety. Few more refugees are ex.
pected to be picked up unless the river
reaches much higher stage than now
expected.
Government and levee board engi.
neers declare that the levees are all
in condition and can stand more wa.
ter than ever before without any dan
ger of breaks.

of wages and working workers to ar
bitration. The letter praised the
strikers for their maintenance of or
der
Mass meetings in the largest the
aters of the city were addressed by
strike leaders. Thousands of the idle
mill workers walked up and down the
main streets.
Bishop Walter T. Sumner, of Ore
gon, addressing a large congregation
at Grace Episcopal church, said that
economists all over the country agreed
on, the efficacy OF As hours labor a
week, and that any man who started
to work in the dark and went home
in the dark was not the getting the
'fullness of existence"
The bishop said that nine or ten
hours day weakened workers pow

ISLAND
IS CLAIMED BY
GREAT BRITAIN

New York. March 20.-Wrangel Is
land. one of the most important lands
in the artic region, has been claimed
for great Britain by party of three
Americans, Canadian and four Es-
kimos, it has become known through
whitman Stefannsson. artic explorer
organizer Of the expedition.
Mr.. Stefannsson said the British
flag was planted on the island Sept.
q last.
Steffansson, British subject, said
his fifth and latest ant-artic eXpedi-
ton, made up of Allen Crawford "a
son of Toronto university professor), y,
E. L. Knight (McMinnville, Ore -,
Frederick Maurer New Philadelphia,
Ohio) and Milton Gale New Braun
felts, TeXas), with four Eskimo3, was
sent by him into the northern wastes
for the express purpose of claiming
Wrangel Island for the British.
Wrangel Island is about the size of
Jamaica, lying 100 miles off the
northeastern coast of Siberia and 400
miles west of Behring Strait. Strate-
gically the island dominates northeast
ern Siberia. Mr.. Steffannson said only
the leader of the party, Crawford,
knew of the mission of the expedi-
ton. The Americans, he said. became
connected with the expedition through
love of adventure.
Wrangel Island was first discov-
cred in 1S49 by British naval expe-
dition under Captain Kellett, who
sailed close to the land, but did not
go ashore. In 1859 De Long, an Amer
lean whaling captain, discovered the
island which, it was assumed, was
the same sought by Baron Wrangel, a
Russian in 1925. In 1881 several
American naval ships landed men on
the island. John Muir, according to
Mr.. Steffannson, was one of the land
ing party. But all these landing par
ties, American and British alike. lost
claim to the land after the lapse of
five years, according to the explorer.
Nobody landed on Wrangel Island
after the Americans were there in
1881 so far as l know" said Mr.. Stef.
fannson
Steffansson claims to have financed
his own expedition which sailed from
Nome Aug. 8, 1921.
