At Htah the main supply base will be established and) Ma millan will procede by airplane. nander MacMillan messaged ,e National Geographic Society to- day that both ships had rammed through heavy {ce floes’ and that the party would reach Etah tonight- The arrival will be celebrated by the first radio program: of Eskimo music ever broadcast frém within the Arctic circle. The program, it is hoped by MacMillan will be heard in the United States. It will start at 10 p. m. Eastern Standard time on a 40 meter wave length. The mo- notony of the long boat trip to Etah was broken first when the Peary and the Bowdoin ran into a swarm of mosquitos which, caused discom- fort and later the ships encountered an ice field and the expedition was temporarily halted. After battling with the ice several days the boats finally succeeded in ramming their way clear and should be in Etah tonight on schedule time. “In spite of difficulties we are on scheduled time” MacMillan messaged the National Geographic Society. “Before leaving Boston we planned to be at Etah on August 1.” The next stage’ is the dash to the north and the most dangerous will be by airplane. The navy planes will be unloaded and set up. A short flight to Cape Hubbard, Axolheiberg island, will be made. Theresa flymg base will be established.

BRYAN DAYTON, Ohio, Aug. 1—The memory of William Jennings Bryan was honored by the Ku Klux Klan in many places in Ohio according to reports received Saturday. Hundreds witnessed a ceremony Friday night in which robed Klans- men burned a fiery cross here. Toledo Klansmen lighted a cross at the conclusion of ceremonies in Bryan's memory there. At Cleveland Klansmen in full re- galla burned a cross which bore this Inscription: “In memory of William Jennings Bryan, greatest Klansman of our times, this cross is lighte: BOOSTERS SEE MANY BENEFITS (Continued From Page One) interests, but to the agricultural communities visited as well, At each and every one of the evening meetings held, it was emphasized by Casper speakers and speakers for the communities visited, that there is great opportunity for successful trade relations which will result to the mutual benefit of Casper and the towns of Fremont county and the Big Horn Basin. The keynote of the entire trip which was stressed by the speakers in almost every instance, is the fact that by trading in Casper, the whole- salers of this city will be able to gain a greater volume of business for the products grown in the agri- cultural communities visited on the booster trip. Casper speakers prom- ised that the people of this city are ready to consume the products of the agricultural interests in the up- state communities and that the wholesale interests here are anxious to give thelr co-operation in the marketing of these products. It {s recognized that at the pres- ent time the growers of farm pro- ducts are not in a position to take full advantage of the Casper mar- ket on account of lack or organiza- tion in grading and packing. It was evident from the interest shown that the time is not far distant when co- operative marketing organizations will be perfected so that their pro- ducts will meet the requirements and demands of the Casper trade. ‘lready Casper is consuming large quantities of foodstuffs from a number of the communities visited. The Lander Commercial . club, where the Good Fellowship tourists Were entertained on Tuesday eve- ning, July 28, served an entire menu composed of products of the Lander valley, with the exception, of course, of ingredients from the tropical countries, The trippers from Casper were ex- ceedingly fortunate in having with them Jack Jackson of Oklahoma; who distinguished himself as a lea- der in communiny singing and in other entertainment features. In addition to other accomplishments, Mr. Jackson is a soloist of more than usual ability. The mode of travel this year, that of taking the big bus of the Salt Creek Transportation company for a large percentage of the members, was considered very satisfactory, and already suggestions are being made that the transportation for next year's booster trip be made entirely by motor busses. The boosters, most of whom are interested in the publicity possibill- ties of the Wyoming Motor club, were impressed with the scenic beauty in the region visited and with the great number of tourists that were met on the highways and at the different tourist camps enroute.

AS CITY, Mo., Aug. 1.— The half-way post has been passed by the. three adventurers who are making a 2,600 mile boat voyage across the U, §8,, retracing the steps of the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1805. They expect to reach New York by September 15. So far, scores of dangers have been encoun- tered and successfully overcome, In almost every town they have Been given a welcome reception by civic organizations. ~ In the party are three men and a mascot, “spy'"—a terrier. John Edwin Hogg heads the ex- pedition. With him are Frank 8. Wilton, professional motion picture photographer, and Val: Woodbury, Los Angeles merchant, The trip will be accomplished al- most entirely by the water route, only a few miles. in the far west being credited to land touring. This was caused by the necessity of hav ing to carry the small 18-foot boat around falls. Columbia River Perilous. The party left Astoria, Ore., May fololwing the christening of their craft, the “Transcontinental.” Unlike Lewis and Clark, the modern expedition, will not have to fight off attacking Indians nor will they have to row their boats up- stream. The Lewis and Clark ex- pedition fook two years. The sched- ule for this trip over the Lewis and Clark route from §t:,Louls to,Astoria is ten weeks. Traveling with © their slogan “Heaven, Hell or Hoboken" em- blazoned@ on the side of their boat, the men have experienced many thrills that almost cut off the last word of their destination. The first encounter with unruly streams came in the Columbia river. “The river wus churned by a flood, 24 feet above normal,” Mr. Hogg said. “A stiff wind blew in from the sea and waves eight feet high poured into our craft. With the pumps working, bailing our: selves, we bucked this sea_ and reached Cathlamet, Wash."* The party then proceeded to Eagle- cliff. Enroute to this point the water continued to rough the small boat, finally crashing it into a hid- den snag, breaking the stern and causing the boat to leak. After repairs had been made the expedition moved onward to Kala- mo, Wash., where more hardships were endured due to high and rough water—-the worst of the trip, Hogs flood had edented levels £ “The c hordes of log large log could boards of the boat. increased to declared ent sent One blow from a shatter the bottom We battled this un- Mr. down Hi condition until one of our motors went dead» With one motor we puffed our y into the more quiet Willamette river, stopping at Port- land.

From this point the river tourists had to battle al- most continuously against danger- ous rapids, passing through the Cape Horn and Skakama rapids, four and six miles long respectively. June 1, the party left Booneville, Ore., only to battle more perilous rapids. For two days Mr. Hogg and his companions ran the rapids on an uphill course until the Celilo rapids blocked the path. “It was useless to try to fight the rapids,” the party chief related. “The flood would be long in reced- ing and our time wag short. Accord- ingly we decided to make the port- age over the mountains a few miles longer and shipped the boat by train from ‘The Dalles, Wash., to Great Falls, Mont., but because of the 16 miles of falls over a total drop of left 790 feet the craft was carried on to Fort Benton, Wash.” Between Fort Benton and Wolf Point, Mont., a distance of 400 miles, Band, Orchestra, WHY GO EAST TO SCHOOL?

During the past three weeks the committee has considered seven ot the 12 demands presented by the miners.

Discontinued patterns, odd WORLD COURT AND LEAGUE 10 BE ACCEPTED BY UNITED STATES So Says Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania on Visit to Summer White House. By HERBERT LITTLE (United Press Staff Correspondent.) SWAMPSCOTT, Mass., Aug. 1.—The United States will enter the world court without. insisting that the court be entirely divorced from the league of nations, Senator George Warton. Pepper, Pennsylvania, said” tonight ‘at the summer white house here. Pepper is a house guest of Presi- dent Coolidge over the week-end. His visit is social, but he {s pre- pared to discuss the world court question if the president so desires. Pepper, who sponsored one of the world court proposals which was not acted upon at the last sésston of con- gress, predicts the senate will adopt a resolution permitting the president to make the United States a member of the court. ‘The senator made it clear that he was strongly opposed to this govern- thent becoming part and parcel of the league itself but that under his new proposal the United States could be in the world court without becom- ing involved, through the court, in the league. He explained in detail is views on the situation in an interview after he had been received by Mr. Coolidge. The senate has agreed to take up the world couct proposal on December 11. “The resolution of adherence will carry into effect the Harding ‘pro- posal as enlarged upon by Mr. Cool- idge, Pepper said. He pointed out that President Harding and Cool- idge had avoided the use of the word “reservations” and said that the con- a SUNDAY, AUGUST-2, 1928: | MAYTAG COMPANY UNABLE T0 SUPPLY DEMAND FOR Maytag Factory, Located at Newton, Iowa, If there is any doubt in the mind of anyone as to Maytag leader- ship, declared the local manager of the Maytag Shop yesterd here is conclusive evidence, he asserted in that with 800 Maytags being man- ufactured every day, the company is still 20,000 washers berind in pro- duction. This statement is open to the whole nation and is as yet un- challenged. Such an increase in business has necessitated the Maytag company to double the factory output and by October, the new addition will be completed. There are a great num- tor of companies manufacturing washers, but there can be only one leader, and that is the Maytag, ac- cording to the Casper manager, of the Maytag company. Net sales for the month of June this year showed an increase of 176 per cent over net sales for June a year ago. This is a new high mark LEADER SALE INFULL BLAS Sales of dresses, coats, suits and other wearing apparel made possible by bargain purchase of the Brooks Sample Shop through its New York office are now in full blast at the Leader store, the special event hay- ing been opened Saturday with the usual throngs that greet announce- ments from this store. A large force of extra salespeople was necessary to accommodate the trade and indi- cations point to increased interest as the sale progresses. The articles on which prices have been cut to the minimum are too numerous to mention but offer val- ues of interest to every prospective purchaser. es @itions upon which he thought this country would enter the court would be in the form of an “amendment” to the treaty which created the ‘court. The resolution will give the senate’s consent to adherence, con- pieces and broken suites of living room, dining room and bedroom suites are offered at record reduc- tions while many of the newer mod- els on sale at discounts that mean great savings. Many remarkable savings are of- fered in floor coverings, rugs, lino- leums, etc. During this special clear- ance sale, purchasers are pormitted to make their selections of any items in the entire store at the, sale prices and on convenient monthly pay- ments. The public will not regret a visit of inspection to Callaway's during this sal Mine Subsidy In Britain Is Given Flaying LONDON, Aug. 1.—The Baldwin government's provisional settlement of the coal strike, through a subsidy to the mines, was attacked today b’ Lloyd George in a speech in which he characterized the step as one of the most serious ever taken by any government in an industrial crisis. Lloyd George foresaw that a re- organization of the coal business must come. Subsidies, he felt, es- tablished a dangerous precedent but tax payers could not meet the strain of added taxes forever. Meantime, Secretary Cramp of the Railwaymen’s Union expressed the situation 4s “not a complete victory ve labor,” but at least a success in erting what he deemed an attempt tv push the miners “below the ab- solute poverty level. The origin of the word coral is poetical. It is from two Greek words signifying “daughter of the sea." ditional upon President Coolidge’s ability to get the 48 nations which have signed the world court treaty to accept the amendment. The amendment will provide that the United States will have voting power in the court’ without accept- ing any league of nations Ilabilities. Pepper did not specify how many votes. Pepper made it clear that the ac- tual entry was a matter for the presi- dent to handle, but that the major- ity of. the senators would arrive at an agreement upon limitation which would be approved. The “amendment” which the sen- ate will propose will be in a form which will be acceptable to the other signatory nations, he sald. The treaty creating the court, although drafted by the league of nations is an entirely separate document from the league covenant, so there is no question of getting the United States involved in the affairs of the league he declared. Pepper's resolution last year, which was drafted in committee as a com- promise, contained a number of pro- visions which were designed to di- vo} the court entirely from the league. The new proposal will not have any provisions of this sort, re- fusal to accept the league of nation: responsibilities and_new rules on ad- visory opinions of the court. Pep- per {ook issue with the pfoposal of Senator Borah, chairman of the sen- ate foreign relations committee, which he (Pepper) is a member, that American adherence to the world court await until international law has been codified. “I do not want to raise a contr versal iss with Senator Borah," Pepper said, “but I think that codi- fication is a work of perhaps 20 years and I believe that {t should be carried out with the United Statés as a member of the court. The occasion of our adherence to the uld be made the starting party. “BUY IT BY THE CASE” ; ORIGINAL SPARKLING WATER AND GINGER CHAMPAGNE Are bottled at the famous effervescing springs at the foot of Pikes Peak.
