SILVER WAVE RETURNS
 FROM INTANGIBLE ISLAND"

Bearing a somewhat curious story indicative of a possible attempt to annex portion of the Siberian do- main by the advance representatives of the forthcoming StefansSon Arc tic Expedition, the power schooner Silver Wave. Capt. Jack Hammer. returned Wednesday from trip 10 WrangeT Island. where the Stefans- son party were landed after a some what stormy passage north.
 According to those on board the Silver Wave, the party had no more than landed before either British or Canadian flag was raised over the island as if it was intended to take formal possession Some of those on board the Silver Wave comment ed on the hasty action and were .n- formed by members of the eXpedi- tion party that the flag was merely intended as q demonstration of re- spect to those members of the first Stefansson expedition who died on the island following the wreck of the steamer Karluk in 1914. It is stated, however. that several members of the expedition were con fidently expecting to be knighted as result of their venture into the Arctic wilds and were nothing loath to express their views that such honors would be forthcoming, altho i. is difficult to determine just why mere connection with an Arctic ex- ploration party should merit such reward.
 The Silver Wave arrived at the lonely island September , and de-

MYSTERIOUS ARCTIC QUEST.

From Nome Nugget Sept. 10, 1921. "BOuna on mysterious expedition
 which embraces a lengthy stay on : Wraneell Island. Allan R. Crawford
 Fred w. Maurer. E. Lorne Knight 1 and Milton Galle. who comprise the advance guard of the new Arctic eX- 1 petition projected by the noted ex- | piorer, Vihljalmur Stefansson, left i Friday night on the schooner Silver Wave for Wrangell Island and the north Siberian coast. The Silver i Wave was chartered for the trip and
 will return here after depositing the party at it's destination.
 Mr. Crawford. who halls from Toronto, Canada is in charge of the expedition. MT. Knight whose
 home is at cMineuvlle, Oregon, is
 second in command and has been
 previously associated with Stefans-
 son on his earlier Arctic voyages
 Nr Maurer was also connected with the last expedition, which resulted
 ia he discovery of new land in the
 far North and was one of the sur vivors of the ill fated Karluk, when trat vessel was crushed in the ice East of Herald Island seven years ago, and spent more than a year ma rOoned on Wrangell Island await ing rescue.
 In response to a question. MT Maurer informed the Nugget that il was just seven years almost to he day when he and his companions were taken from the island where he IS now going. He said he thought al that time he would never want to see it again but in the interval has always felt something turing him back to the desolate ice locked rock. Now, he says, he feels actually glad he is going back in answer to the strange call of the North.
 Asked as to the object of the ex- petition, Mir. Crawford stated at first "along the Siberian coast" Pressed further, he admitted that the party had chartered the Silver Wave for trip to Wrangell. Later he stated that the party will en- deavor to establish a base on Wran- gell Island for Stefansson's future activities, which he said would be

 was Milton Gale.
 In December 1922 two men in cluding Knight started for the in the wrong direction from that which they should nave taken. They were gone two weeks and then returned. On January 20th, 1922.
 Knight being too sick to go, the other three men. Crawford, Maurer and Galle made another attempt to
 reach the mainland of Siberia with fifteen days dog feed and very small amount of provisions. these men started out on what seemed an , impossible trip. and which was, with out a doubt. The native woman says they were going the wrong way ard pointed to the Southeast.
 This was the last ever seen or heard of them as far as any one knows and they have been given up as lost.
 The first winter the party had to feed their dogs on flour of which they only had five hundred pounds. and would not last dogs and men too, very long, Hunting was new to the men in the party so very lit tie game was secured for food. The party had no boat at this time and could do no hunting away from the beach.
 According to reports in Nome since the return of the Donaldson, 13 more people were left on Wran gell Island in another attempt to colonize the island The only white man, so 1t is stated, is Charles Wells Of Nome who is making a camp with the Point Hope natives which were left at Doubtful Bay on Wrangell Island. The natives taken aboard at Kotzebue will make their camp at Rodgers Harbor, Wrangall Is- land

PAPER MONEY
PIPE DREAMS
BY JOHN LAKEWOOD

Hitting the pipe seems like the
greatest way In the world to get
something for nothing,-a whole para
disc full of Joy for a few whiffs OF
opium smoke. But
By the way, the big lure about nat
money is that it seems to promise
about as much for nothing as a Whit
on the pipe. They are just coming
out of such a dream now in Germany
Here is the way that German soft
money dream goes. Say In 1913 a
man put ten year mortgage for TO-
600 marks on his farm. Marks were
then worth, in gold, about four
to the dollar. The debt, therefore,
was equivalent to about $4,000.
In the ten years since that debt was
contracted, the German Government
has published. so to speak, trillions of
paper marks. What happened? What
would happen to the price OF eggs II
they had a hen at Washington laying
q billion eggs a day,-even il they put
a government stamp on them saying
eggs were worth a quarter a piece?
German marks have gone down from
four to the dollar to 10000 to the
dollar.
