KING BUSINESS IS
 GOOD IN SWEDEN
Gustaf Gets Great Birthday
 Bonus From Subjects


 Stockholm, June c2.-Gustaf V, the king Sweden didn't like when he first mounted the throne. re- ceived q nice little birthday gift ot nearly million dollars cash from his subjects when he turned 70 the other day.
 The presentation showed striking lv how a king can mellow and rlp- en in character and can turn a peo- ple's distrust into warm admiration and love.
 King Gustaf indicated the money would be used to finance scientific research into cancer diseases. His father. Oscar II. received q similar gift when he Was "a. and used it to aid the medical fight on tuber- .culosis.
 The Swedes delight to tell how their king became "humanized" after passing the age Of 50-when the characters Of most people are perfectly moulded.
 Called an Admircr Of the Kaiser
 As crown prince, Gustaf was known as reactionary, opposed to his fathers liberalism. He cared lit tie for literature and the arts, but

A Democratic Ruler

Gustaf drives about bis capital quite simply and often drops into some of the better known cafes for a drink. One day some ardent republicans were discussing the toppling of monarchies.
 What do you think of it. sir" said one Of the men to Guetaf.
 Well I am against it. You see, if there were republic in Swe- den, might lose my job"
 What's your job:"
 I'm in the king business my self"
 Gu.taf is one of the few in the king business whose ancestors were very plain folk. The Swedish dynasty was founded in ISIS by Jean Baptiste Bernadotte, the son of French lawyer. Bernadotte' $ wife had been q grocer's daugh- ter. Sweden adopted them as its royal couple after Rernadotte had won promotion to field marshal in the armies of Napoleon.

 Swedish army. had honorary rank
 in many German regiments. and
 was said to be an ardent admirer of Kaiser Wilhelm. To this day
 the Swedish army goose-steps like
 the German.
 But the trend of his thought was best displayed in the troubles
 with Norway. The King of Sweden was also the King of Norway. In 1905 Norway declared the ancient union with Sweden terminated. DOcked His Salary Gustaf declared his willingness:
 to lead q Swedish army against Norway to bring it's stubborn peo- pie to reason. The NorNegians al
 once cut off the allowance they al

Italian Chasseurs
Reported Safe By
Rescue St mer
By LARS HANSEN
(Alternate Navigator of the Italia

ABOARD THE STEAMSHIP
HOBBY, Skaers Bay, Spitzbergen,
Radio, June I've found the eight
missing Italian Alpine chasseurs
safe today, after they had searched
the interior vainly for eight days
for trace of the lost dirigible Italia.
The Hobby reached Skaers Bay at
10 a. IN. and found the chasseurs,
for whom we all had felt grave anX-
ietv because they had taken with
them only one week s food upon
their Decentralization from the sup
ply ship Citta di Milano at Mossei
Bay.
The rescue steamship Braganza,
chartered by the Italian govern
ment, arrived today at North Cape,
Northeastland, and is trying to send
over, across the ice, searching
squad to penetrate the interior on
that side of Spitzbergen.
Experts in Spitzbergen regard
these chasseur expeditions as fur
nishing the main hope for the res
cue of the Italia s crew, whom they
Lalieve to be on the island.
The chasseurs are experts in
mountains and on ice, after their
hard training in the Italian Alps.

ROBERTS TALKS
= TO CHAMBER ON
VALLEYS FUTURE

D. B. Roberts, local attorney,
gave an interesting talk at the
weekly luncheon meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce at the Bar
hara Worth Hotel at noon today.
Roberts took as his topic the
Culture of the Valley
The speaker touched only lightly
on the advantage of Boulder Dam
to the valleyites but he signifed in
the few words relative to the river
project that its probable passage in
the Senate will mean much. His
talk was directed more upon the ad
vantages which the valley now en-
JOYS.
Roberts stressed the point Of
catering to the tourists. He declar-
Ell that the valley provides an all
yearround highway and that per
sons travelling about the country are
coming to use it more and more each
year. He spoke of hotel accomo.
dations afforded and vizualized the
hotels of the future.
The most important point, he de
clared was for the valleyites to sell
themselves the valley first and then
pass it on to the world at large.
a meeting of the board of direct
ors will be held in the chamber
headquarters at 1880 o'clock to
night.
