“The dissolution of the coalition
government in England was prac
tically a repetition of what took
place in our own country over three
years ago,“ declares the Republican
Publicity Association, t&rough its
President, Hun. Jonathon Bourne,
Jr. “There was no formal amalga
mation of political parties in the
United States, but the Republi
can minority in Congress suborin
ated their differences with the Dem
ocrats and united with them toward
the common object of winning the
war. Controversies over domestic
issues were suspended while all true
Americans united in fighting a for
eign foe. The effort to return to
sound government policies was not
abandoned—it was merely deferred
in order that the attention of the
nation might be centered upon the
pressing problem of defending na
tional rights against aggression.
“The Republicans were well a
ware that appropriations were being
squandered, that programs for big
ocean fleets and air fleets were be
ing bungled, and that :n a score of
ways the military efforts of the na
tion were being mismanaged. \ec
they compiled with every request
of ' the Democratic administration
for more funds, and soldiers, and
munitions. The legislative branch of
the government was practically a
coalition of effort for a common
purpose. although the executive
failed to catch the spirit of Congress
and declined to seek advice from
the Republican ranks. Instead o
hearty support he had received from
Republicans. President Wilson made
a partisan plea for the election of
Democra.s after he had earnestly
urged that politics be adjourned.
"The moment the fighting came
to an end domestic policies reassert
ed themselves, and the Republicans
began to lay the ground work for
their great victory in 1920, the ben
efits of wIKch the people are now
enjoying. Joint party government,
which is the same as no party gov
ernment. is never a healthful con
dition in times of peace. It is well
for minorities to adjourn their dif
ferences when the country is men
seed by a foreign foe, but the re
turn to normalcy and solution of
of domestic problems can go for- j
ward best when there is vigorous
discussion between two opposing
schools of thought.
“The Britiah are just recogniz
ing a fact that Americans acted up
on many months ago. .
R. R. RATES SOAR IN AUSTRIA
VIENNA, Nov. 28— Railway
rates in Austria were raised by 300
percent early this month, making
them now 24 times what they were
on August 1, 1922. Even with this
heavy increase, it is estimated that
the deficit still will be about
1.600,000,000 crowns a day.
The passenger deficit i3 said to
be due largely to the enormous a
mount of free transportation, or
so-called cost price fares, enjoyed
by government servants. During the
summer it iyas estimated that at
least half the travel was of this
class. So far the government ras ta
ken no steps toward abolishing the
evil. I

OLDTIMER TELLS OF ARCTIC;
COVERED MUCH TERRITORY
Leo Pavelick returned to nome
on the Sea Wolf Sept. 29th. having
gone aboard that vessel at Teller.
Last year says the Nome Nugget
Pavelick left Anchorage for the
Chandaler country v.h -re it was re
. ported a gold strike had been made.
| Arriving there he found that as too
' often happens, the strike was a
1 fake, only one claim in the entire
; district was a producer.
From there he took a tobaggan
and some dogs and mushed to Ft.
, Yukon and from there to Old Crow
village in the Yukon territory. From
| this point he mushed to Hersche!
| Island by way of the Canoe river,
being seven days on the way. From
Hersche] Island he went to Demar
kation Point then to Carter Island
j where he prospected for gold with
| out finding anything that was worth
i while. Leaving Barter Island he
! came to the mainland with a small
l outfit and prospected along the
i Okpelak, dags. Hoolah Hoolah and
i Rochit rivers and succeeded in find*
i ing prospects along the Hoolah
Hoolah in sufficient quanliti.-s to
: justify further work, but as the
i season was so far advanced and his
i supplies and outfit so limited he de
cided to return to civilization.
Animal food is found in large
; quantities. Sheep, bear and cari
, bou are plentiful, while wood for
l fuel is easily obtained except on the
j Okpelak river. Ptarmigan in the
; summer time leave the mountains
| and go down to the valleys, return
ing to the mountains in the winter.
At this time Pavelick became ill
and this fact coupled with his mea
; ere outfit caused him to decide a
I trip to Nome. From the Okptlak he
t mushed across country a distance
of 60 miles to Humphrey’s Point
and there found the Lady Kinders
ley in the bay. Natives in a skin
boat took him aboard the Kinders
ley and then he came to Teller
where the Lady Kindersley took
aboard 100 sacks of gravel for bal
last and then left for Vancouver
direct.
The Lady Kindersley unloaded
her supplies at Hersche! Island
which unloading required ten days
sharping her cargo she was piloted
back to Pt. Barrow by Wm. Sey
more who returned to Ilerschel Is
land by dog team.
Off Smith's Bay the vessel was
caught by both young and old ice
and for a time it seemed that the
boat would be frozen in for the win
ter, however, by sheer luck, after
four days work, the ice was bucked
thru and arrival at Point Barrow
was accomplished. Leaving Bar
row the vessel tried to avoid the
Kotzebue shoals and went out of
her course arriving at East Cape,
Siberia where she encountered much
shore ice. From East Cape the ves
sel came on to Teller and then tvent
Outside.
On Aug. 29feh both the Herman
and Lady Kindersley arrived at
Hersche! Island, the latest arrival
of either vessel in years. After con
cluding her business at Hersehel Is
land the Herman returned to Wain
writh and took aboard freight that
had been landed by other boats un
able to proceed to Point Barrow.
This freight was taken back to Bar
row by the Herman and so supplied
the Barrow community with badly
needed supplies. She left for Teller
the day the Lady Kindersley ar
rived at Barrow.
Mr. Pavelick further states that
5 natives died in the vicinity of the
Special Thanksgiving Show at the
Coliseum—“Burglar Proof."

i ing eaten white whale meat that \
j was “tippy.”
Wada, the Jap. came down t»he
McKenzie with a party of white
men and intends to prospect the
mainland south from Herschel Is-1
: land.
A fur buyer named J. Kingston'
: buying for Burkman of Ft. Yukon.
w:ia found dead north of Old Crow
village. He had been to Herschel
and was returning when he had an
attack of heart failure. An indian
by the name of Peter Moses was out
‘hunting and came across a partly
he discovered the dead body of
Kingston. Close by was found his
dog team, nearly starved and frozen
to death. The team refused to leave
their driver and were slowly dying.
Kingston had evidently attempted
to start a fire when overcome by
an attach of the heart.
Gordon Bettels was met at Por
cupine on his return trip from Sal
mon river where he had indulged in
the Lost River stampede, which also
proved a will o’ the wisp.
, At Old Crow village he found an
' old native woman who is reputed to
i Ke 1S5 years old. This poor crea
I ture has the aspects of a living
mummy, but hangs tenaciously to
i life, taking an active part in the life
1 of the village.
Natives in this far North section
1 of the country are prosperous in
| the sense that plenty of food is
; available and fur bearing animals
abound.
* At Demarkation Point the musher
; encountered seepage oil in large
! quantities and when asked if the
natives take advantage of the heat
units contained in the oil stated.
that they had plenty of wood and
didn’t bother with the oil.
The Hudson’s Bay Company has
started a new post six miles East
from the bdkndry line, on Clarence
i Bay.
Tom Gordon, a trader for the Lie
j bes Company, had the misfortune
j to lose his youngest child, an in
fant of about eighteen months old.
Along the McKenzie River a N.
| W. M. police officer was attacked
by a native and killed. A Hudson
Bay trader hearing the shot started
: to investigate and he also was kill
ed by the native. Some distance
from the scene of the shooting an
other police officer was camped and
i as the other natives feared an inva
; sion of white men to revenge the
■ killing, notified this officer and
I with him made tie arrest of the
murderer.
Mr. Pavelick will remain in Nome
for the winter and next spring start
back into the Arctic regions to make
! fuither and more exhaustive inves
tigations into the mining prospects
he left behind him.
This musher reiterates the reports
brought^ down by travelers from the
north to the effect that ice condi
tions are extremely adverse, the
wost in the knowledge of white
men.
