Search Is Hopeless
 Body Ben Easley
 Of Roust Airways
Indications Are Easley Might Have Layed on Top Of
 Wing For Awhile

Pilot Frank Whaley and Mechan- ician Harry Nelson of the Roust Airways, who flew to Kotzebue the morning of July 3rd, returned to Nome yesterday morning early, af- ter putting in many hours of search for the body of Ben Easley, lost in a plane crash in the waters of Kotz- ebue Sound.
 They reported that searches with motor boats and by plane failed to reveal any sign of the body. The Curtis Robin airplane of the com pany was dragged out on the beach and a careful inspection made.
 It was found that one wing tip had been crushed presumably being the first part of the plane to touch the water, and supposedly causing the crackup. An indentation on the top of the wing near the fuselage seemed to indicate that Pilot Easley had probably craWled up there to get out of the water,
 In the cabin the throttle was clos ed, but the switch was still on. The safety belt had been unlocked and was lying free and open on the seat, further testimonial that Easley had extricated himself from the cabin, when it is remembered that one door and window were open.
 It is believed that, if Easley climb ed on the wing and got out of the water, the cold weather and freez- ing condition of the water, finally forced him to make an attempt to swim ashore. Whether he swam in the right direction is unknown. The water was seven feet deep at the

 Result of Celebrating 1QS DEATHS 4th
Majority of Lives Lost Were Attributed to Automobile
 Accidents, DrOWnings
(By The Associated Press)


 UNDATED, July 5, The nation counted at least a hundred and ninety five dead with thousand in- iured, as the cost of celebrating the Fourth of July.
 The total number of accidental deaths this year, as compared with 1884 was TIT: and four hundred and 83 in 1881. Only two deaths were directly attributed to fireworks, an Associated Press survey disclosed. The majority of the lives lost were due to auto accidents and drownings. Automobiles killed 82 and drowning accounted for 77.
 Thirty-four deaths were caused by airplane crashes, train-wrecks electric shocks, shootings; falls and the heat.
 Among the spectacular accidents was one at St. Clair, on the shores of Lake Michigan, in which man was carried two thousand feet into the air as he held a guide rope of a balloon, but becoming weaken ed lost his grip, and plunged to his death.

point the plane was first discovered.
 A strong current runs along the coastline in that vicinity and all hope of finding his body by search ing at this time, was given up when Messrs. Whaley and Nelson return ed to Nome, although Eskimos and residents of that section are remain ing observant for any indications of his body being washed ashore.
 The plane will be salvaged, com- pany officials state, the only serious damage being to the tail structure, when Archie Ferguson hooked onto the plane and lowed it to within 50 feet of shore.

(By The Associated Press)

(By The Associated Press)
 ADDIS ABABA, July 5 -Ethiop- ia's hope of keeping peace with Italy is now in the hands of the United States. A note was delivered to the U. s. Charge D'Afaires here, which asked the United States to invoke the Kellogg-Briand Pact, under which Italy renounced war as an instrument of national policy.
 The note has not been delivered at Washington, D. C. yet and the United States government was sill ent on the subject this morning.
 The spokesman for the Italian government asserted at Rome, that the appeal would not change Italy s attitude toward her border contro- versy with Ethiopia.
 Well-informed British sources said that Ethiopias invocation of the Kellogg Briand pact would be re- garded as a serious development
 Some sources felt that the United States would be put on the spot by the appeal

COLUMBIA RIVERS HISTORY
DRAWING MUCH ATTENTION

Interest in the history Of the Co
lumbia river, particularly that part
effected most by the Grand Coulee
dam, has never been greater than
at present. This includes, of course,
the Kettle falls, to which especial
interest is attached at this time of
year because of the salmon run. To
contemplate the day when these
roaring falls will be engulfed by the
rising tide of great artificial lake,
is a thought that arouses new inter-
est in this romantic historical place.
The story of the naming of Ket-
tie falls has been often told, but is
possessing new interest at this time.
The first white man to see the falls
was David Thompson, famous Eng
lish explorer and geographer. UP to
that time the falls had been known
by the Indians as Ilth-koy- It
was not the discoverer of the falls,
however, who gave them their name.
This honor went to the French
Canadian voyageurs, these intrepid
and hardy pioneers who played so
important part in the early history
of the Northwest.

formation in the rocks at Kettle

eminent Both Claim Right To
Supervise Beer Sales

OLYMPIA, Sept. 16. Sale
of beer at CCC camps is proving the
current headache" for the state
liquor control board, with the state
and federal governments both claim
ing jurisdiction.
The board took the stand it had
the right to require CCC "canteens
operated by the boys and men
themselves, to buy state beer Ii
censes, costing $25 now and after
October l $3.50.
Oppose State Regulation
CCC officials take the same slant
that army post officers do-tha1
they are not subject to state regu-
lation. The liquor board is permit
ting brewers to sell beer to un
licensed CCC camps provided the
beer bears the state beer tax.
Breweries contest the boards
claim to the tax and won a loWe1
court decision exempting beer sole
on military reservations. The
boards appeal to the state supreme
court will be argued during the
September court term.
Breweries Protest
Another headache for the board Il
the last legislatures action requlr'
ing out-of- state breweries selling II
washington to pay the $3.50 bee1
wholesalers license and appoint
statutary agent in the state.
Outside brewers are protesting
vigorously against the fee. Loca
brewers maintain it prevent:
Foreigners from gaining an ad'
vantage over them by being
exempt from the fee they have tx
pay.

EXPECTS MARKED INCREASE
IN STATES POPULATION

Population of the state of Wash
ington may increase by half a mil
lion in the next decade, says Roy
A. Matson of Yakima, president of
the Washington Federation of Com
mercial Organizations, which holds
it's first annual meeting in Wenat-
chez September 20 and 81.
A large increase of population Is
bound to come, Matson points out
But how large and to what extent
it will help those who already live
here will depend upon whether the
state can get together on definite
plan of development. The purpose
of the federation is to work out
such a plan, he says.
Organized in October last year,
the federation now includes in its
membership every chamber OF COM
merce in the larger cities of the
state and many of the smaller
towns.
Some Of the problems that now
confront us are, for instance: What
shall be done with the power from
Bonneville and Coulee? How shall
we take care of new settlers COM
ing to us from the drought areas of
the middle west? How can we get
better representation on federal
boards and commissions? Shall we
add to our primary state highway
system? Shall we advertise the state
to attract new residents and tour
lists? Every courty and city and
town in the state has vital in
terest in these questions, and the
federation of commercial organiza-
lions provides a means for every
one to help decide these questions
for the betterment of the state"

Pep Up Appetite;
| Relish Your Food

No matter how little you eat, you
should relish your food to feel your
best and get the most enjoyment out
of living. If clogged-up bowels and
inactive kidneys are poisoning
your system, causing you to have a
'puny," finicky appetite, and max
ing you feel rundown, sluggish,
without ambition or zest for the
good things in life-take few doses
of good old Williams S. L. K. Form
ula and see how much better you
feel.
Williams S. l.. K. Formula is COM
pounded from the prescription OF a
former army doctor and contains
valuable ingredients which accom-
plish their work in four beneficial
ways: as a mild tonic, stomach
stimulant, laxative, and diuretic
stimulant for the kidneys. Many
take Williams S. l.. K. Formula also
for indigestion, nausea, loss OF
weight and sallow complexion,
where mild tonic, laxative, stom-
achic and diuretic is needed. Don't
take too harsh drugs which jolt
your system and upset your stom-
ach. Ask Center Drug Co., Grand

Blame Lightning
For Forest Fires
Started 126 Of 200 Forest Fires
In North Pacific Area
Early This Month

Heavy lightning bombardment
along the crest of the Cascade
mountains, the Okanogan highlands
and the Blue mountains OF Oregon,
caused 1875 of the 200 forest fires
reported in the 20 national forests
of the North Pacific region for the
first ten days Of September, ac-
cording to the United States forest
service.
Of the remaining fires, careless
smokers caused 33, careless campers
Is, incendiarists 10, railroads 4,
numbering operations 3, and miscel-
laneOuS sources 5.
Carelessness Causes Loss
While all lightning fires were cor
rallied before they reached large
proportions, according to the report,
man caused fires resulted in the
largest national forest acreage loss
for any ten day period of the 1885
fire season, increasing the total
burned area within forest boundar-
les from 5000 to $500 acres. This
large acreage loss was accounted for
largely by the Mckenzie Bridge
fire in Oregon which devastated
some 1900 acres.
The Colville and Wenatchee ma
tional forests reported the greatest
numbers of lightning fires, while the
largest totals of smoker and camper
fires were recorded in the Mount
Hood, Whitman and Fremont for
ests of Oregon. Total fires repor-
ted to date for the season increased
to 1910 against 1882 for the cor
responding period in 1884.
The forest service warns that the
fire situation in the northwest will
be fraught with great danger until
the woods are drenched by a soak
ing rain.
