MOUNTAIN STORM
HIDES GIRLS BODY
Effort to Bring Down Re-
mains of HeireSS, Frozen,
Renewed.
BY the Associated Press.


ESTES PARK. Colo, January IA
Warned by pioneer mountaineers that
their mission probably would be fu-
tile and that her body would remain
buried In the drifted snow of Longs
Peak until the Spring thsvs, three
parties set out at dawn in anotheT
effort to bring back the frozen form
of Miss Agnes Naille, young hetress
who perished Monday while trying
10 descend the lofty peak in a driving
blizzard.
The body of Herbert Sortland. lost
member of the first party when
sought to save Miss Vaille after her
escort was forced TO leave her and
press on for help. also was an object
of the renewed search. Searchers who
returned to the timber line late last
night reported no one could have
lived the "a hours Sortland had been
missing in the subzero temperature
and gales which swept clouds of snow
and sleet across the Jagged peaks.
Miss Vaille's body was found prop
ped in crevice half-covered with
snow. but the fury OF the ele ents
made il impossibl, for the party 20
bring it down the mountainside. 1t
was left until more favorable mo-
ment and a larger party might lower
1t through the snow packed passes
and dangerous ravines of the peak.
Companion Tells story.
Walter Keiner, who started with
Miss Vaille on the fatal expedition.
today was in bed at Longs Peak Inn,
suffering from frozen hands and feet
and severe shock. He and Miss Vaille
had gone on numerous mountain
climbing adventures. He said that
Miss Naille fell and rolled $50 feet
as they tried to descend the peak In
n driving blizzard and temperature of
so degrees below zero. Shortly aft
erward, he said, her hands and feet
were frozen and when carrying her
proved too great task he left her
in the crevice and started for the he ~
which reached her too late.
Friends of the family today pointed
10 the queer turn of fate which sent
Miss Vaille. who was secretary of the
Denver Chamber of Commerce. to
death in the frozen Businesses, $4,000
feet above sea level while her father
+. o. Vaille, retired millionaire. was
Nacationing on the sun-swept shores
OF Honolulu.
Fourth to Meet Death.
Miss Vaille was the fourth to meet
tragic death on Longs Peak.
The death of Miss Carrie j. Welton,
a New Englander, 40 years ago, paral-
leled the fate of Miss Vaille. Miss
Welton had scaled the peak, but be-
came exhausted in the subZero tenn
perature during the descent. Her
guide sought aid, but death arrived
first.
On September Is, 1921. the body of
Gregory Aubuchon, Is, was found at
the base of the peak by forest rangers
after A hunt Of two months.
While standing near the huge stone
cairn that marks the summit of the
mountain, August I. 1922, J. E. Kits
of Greeley, Colo, was instantly killed
by bolt of lightning.
In the same month a year later Miss
Ethel Ridenour of Kansas City was
struck by lightning. She recovered,
although her face was badly torn by
the stroke.

THE MUCH ABUSED TARIFF

''The protective tariff is about the worst gold brick ever
sold to farmers declared Benjamin G. Marsh, Managing Di-
rector of the Farmers National Council of Washington, ID. c..
in a recent address before the League for Industrial Democ-
racy.
1t is too bad that there is not a better general under
standing of the American tariff schedule. Anyone who reads
it over can see that practically everything the farmer buys
for the operation of his farm is on the free list with no duty
charged against it, while the principle things which the farmer
raises are protected by reasonable customs duties. In other
words, foreign products which the farmer must use, including
breeding animals, all kinds of supplies, fertilizers, building ma
terials, oils, farm machinery, etc, are duty-free, while prac
tically everything he raises to sell is protected against un
reasonable foreign competition.
The American tariff, whose chief beneficiaries are the
American farmer and the American workman, is about the
most misunderstood and least understood feature of our gov
eminent. When it is discussed as a business and not a po
ltical issue, it will be removed from the realm of mystery.
In the meantime it saves the American farmer and the Amer
lean worker from impossible cheap labor foreign competition
