People Asking
What Future Holds

Albania, the Germans threatening
Egypt with invasion and a severe blow
at British commerce by the seizure Of
the Suez canal, now that the Russians
are admittedly fully equipped, and now
that there has been a change of COM
manders and under-generais on the
nations are asking the question. May
we. in the light of past mistakes. ex-
pect permanent and effective successes
on the various battle fronts?" -,...
Dispatches indicate that the allies
are on the eve of some DEFINITE pro-
gram of concerted action which. they
hope to carry to a happy conclusion. 6,
During the week several British gen.
erals have been recalled from the west
ern line and 1t is declared that these
ly hinted that they will in large
measure take the reins from the hands
of Lord Kitchener. Just how true is
this surmise remains to be seen. Gen.
JOffre has recalled five generals and
seven brigadiers have been placed on
the reserve list. The inference is plain
ly drawn that new blood is to guide
affairs along the western front and, in
the light of renewed military activity
from the Vosges to Flanders, there is
every reason to expect some sort of
general offensive in this region imine-
diately.
That a definite system Of operation
was evolved a fortnight ago at the
war council in Paris. which was attend
ed by representatives of all entente
powers. is indicated by the statement
Of Premier Asquith, who declared. The
leading strategical problems were dis
cussed and certain extremely important
conclusions reached with absolute
unanimfty."

WHY THE DEMOCRATS
WILL WIN

VI
I'VE propose to heartily and
cordially support the Democratic
ticket this fall for the reason
that it is as a whole good ticket
and is running on Il platform
which should commend itself ito
every Democrat. Above and be
yOnd the election of the State
Democratic ticket stands-the en-
dorsement of President Wilson
and his administration at Wash
ington. Endorsing the President
in the platform is good as far as
it goes, but endorsing him at the
polls with a Democratic victory
in November is far better and
far more important. There can
be no question but that the de.
feat of the Democrats in Ken
lucky would be hailed ALI over
the country as rebuke to Presi-
dent Wilson. 1t would not only
weaken him in the Presidential
race next year but would al. .
place Kentucky in the doubtful
C Ilumn in that race. No Presi-
dent ever stood higher in the IS
innate of the party which put
him in power than Woodrow
Wilson. His popularity is fully
deserved. He is unquestionably
the greatest man who has occu-
pied the White House in a gen
Grafton. With these things gen.
orally acknowledged by Demo.
Gratis there can be no better or
more certain way to give proof
of the fact than by voting the
Democratic ticket. Do not al.
low differences about any ques.
tion involved IN the state cam.
paign for party nomination pre-.
vent you from voting an endors-
ment of Wilson in November.
Then there is absolutely no rea-
son or justification for any Dem.
ocrat by his vote or by hiss alb.
sence from the polls helping to
elect the Republican ticket. Has
any Republican Governor in
Kentucky ever done anything so
that We would wan. anot her?
Surely the Democrats are not
willing either by action or mac
tiOn, to repeat the mistakes of
electing Bradley, Taylor and
Wilson, by electing Morrow.
We know there have been things
done of which good Democrats
do not approve. There have
been thlhgs uOne ana SAID OF
which we do not approve, bnt
the way to settle party wrongs
is in the party. Next year when
there will be no contest among
Democrats as TO how the dele
gates shall be instructed for
President, a Democratic State
Committee can be made to suit
the people. 1t is not a time for
Democrats to look at the faults
Of their own party but IA time to

many elk, deer, antelope, bear, wolf,

skunk and badger pelts were brought
in by the Indians.
For the first three years all the
supplies for Fort Union were drawn
up the whole length of the Missouri
river from st. Louis by tow-lines in
the hands of "voyageurs." The most
incessant and exhausting labor was
required to stem the swift current
of the river and keep the boats from
being grounded on sand bars. In
1882 the American Fur company sent
q steamboat, the Yellowstone, up as
far as Fort Union and from that
time supplies were brought from St.
Louis to Fort Union and trading
posts lower down along the Missouri
in the Dakotas by steamboat. Be-
yond Fort Union, however, the voy.
ageurs labored over tow-line of 700
miles for many years afterward.

The FIRST of these trading posts was
built by the famous trader Kenneth
Mckenzie on the Missouri in eastern
Montana in 1923 and called Fort
Union. An interesting description
Of it has been preserved. /
The fort, as it was called, and real
" was, consisted of stockade 200
feet square made of logs about
IL inches in diameter and II feet long
set perpendicularly in the ground. On
diagonal corners of the stockade were
blockhouses II feet square and 20 feet
high pierced with loopholes. Through
these an effective gunfire could be
kept up in case of an attack by the
Indians. The dwelling houses and
stores were built inside the stockade
with space of about four feet be-
tween them and the walls of the
stockade. All the buildings were
covered with earth as a protection
against fire and incendiary Indians.
There was only one entrance to the
stockade, a large double gate with a
small gate set in it. The latter was
used most of the time, the large gate
being opened only when there were
no Indians around.
The two stores were built on each
side of the entrance and Joined at
the rear by gate similar to the main
one. In each store, about five feet
from the ground, was hole 10 inches
square with strong shutter that op-
ened on the inside. When the Indians
came to trade the inner gate between
the stores was closed and the outer
gate opened. AS many Indians as the
space would hold were allowed to en-
ter and the outer gate closed and lock-
ed behind them. Each Indian then
passed what he had to trade through
the small hole in the store to the
trader and the articles he was allowed
in return were thrown out of the open
ing to him. When the party finished
trading they were turned out and 9TH
ers admitted. Though by far the larg-
est number of skins were buffalo,
