Officials Amused at the Attempt to Seize American Island Raid of. the Canadians on Territory in Lake Superior Not Taken Seriously spedal Dlapatch to The •• Call. Aug. s.— There is not the -slightest agitation in the minds of the officials of the American government because -of the action of Captain Young of the Ninety-sixth regiment and his party of Canadians in raisin? the British flag over Isle Royale, in Lake Superior, and declaring it Canadian territory- In fact, officers of the department'of state are much smused over the claims of the Canadians. They, call attention to the fact that the treaty of 1842 specifically names the channel between Isle- Royale and the Canadian mainland as marking the boundary between the United States and Canada. V r It is declared that there can be no question as to the title of the United States to the territory. This governntfent has never heard that the Canadian Kovtrnment questioned the right of the United States to the island. Isle Royale is a game preserve in part, including many rich vineyards, and is a favorite summer resort for people from Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, in the United States, and from the larger towns of Manitoba, in Canada. If Captain Young trespasses on any privately owned property it is said he will be dealt with according to the laws of Michigan, which exer cises^ jurisdiction over the island; that is, he will be arrested and fined or imprisoned. As the Canadian government is not . involved in the affair, it is not likely that the matter will rise to the dignity of an international incident. \u25a0•..'. ICE FAMINE IMMINENT IN STATE'S INTERIOR Supply From Mountains Is Cut Off b ythe Lack of Cars SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL STOCKTON, Augf. 5. — An ice famine is imminent in the cities and towns of central California that are without plants to provide supplies. The rail road companies have stopped shipments from the mountain sources because of a shortage of cars, notwithstanding the heavy demand for ice at this season of the year. Cars are at a premium at the present time for use in forwarding fruit and the situation has many serious aspects. The smaller valley cities and towns will suffer great Inconvenience during the scarcity of ice, especially at this time, when the heat is severe. Large orders have reached the local Ice dealers, but they are unable to supply the demand. The famine will not affect Stockton, for the local plants can manufacture 60 tons daily, while the demand is for 35 or 40 tons. The scarcity of cars will work havoc with the mountain storage companies, which are unable to get their product on the market at a price anywhere within reason. The railroad companies will handle only small consignments, or such amounts as can be hauled on the passenger trains running between Stockton and mountain points. It appears that it will be impossible to obtain ice in any Quantity from the mountains for the remainder of the year, as the cars will be engaged in shipping fruit until late in November. By that time the urgent need of ice will be over. IWEVTS SHIXGLE COUNTER NEVADA CITr.
