SACRIFICING AMERICA

People may differ as to agents and
motives, but there is no doubt that
America is being sacrificed and her
fundamental interests disregarded.
The effect is as if some European
country had conquered US by force of
srr-s and had mapped out a compre-
henslve prog. am of exploitation
With the rate of exchange prevent
ing European buying here, we ought
to be doing all we can to make our
prices low and to make freight rates
to Europe low. We would then be
able to recover our foreign trade the
sooner. But we are doing the oppo-
lie. We are sacrificing our govern
..cnt-owned ships with the obvious
result that they will fall into the
power of the English ocean freight
combine. We are turning back the
railroads to private exploitation with
provisions for large loans and big
rate increase to enable private owner
ship to make a profit. We are allow
ing the monopolists of all basic
resource" to keep supplies Down that
prices may be tign. All of this oper-
ates to tha benefit of Europe IN the
days to 20 me.
While many in close touch with
Washington hint at dark agreements
between the great Morgan syndicate
and EUROPEAN financiers, these are
probably only by-products of funda-
mental situation and not causes. Spe-
cial privilege is probably doing the
things noted above through the poll
ticians because 1t would rather sacri-
fee Its country than itself, and we
have reached . place in which the
financial despotism is as bad az a
conquering foe.
Most Of Europe is getting on its
feet by means OF public ownership or
drastic control Of basic resources and
transportation. We developed eff
cheney for the war by this means and
are now knocking ourselves off our
feet. America is sacrificing domestic
peace and absolutely needed foreign
trade to the heathen god of monopoly
exploitation. f. .a

Mo~ssrs.ns Awarded

The high school athletic committee
has awarded monograms to the bas-
ket-hall squad upon recommendation
of Coach Krause. The season was
just half over when the flu put the
damper on the schedule, but during
the short period the players acquired
the fundamentals and were steadily
improving in team work, so that
these players will be = good fouasda-
tion for the team next year. Their
faithfulness and willingness to the
school and coach made them worthy
and deserving Of this honor. The reg
ular monograms were awarded to the
following students:
Capt. James Hall, Jack Ellington,
Henry Grafton, Ernest Foster, Mearic
Harlin, Chester Bennett.
The reserve monograms were
awarded to:
William Delo, Irwin Gray, Eugene
Foster.
The following students are honor
ably mentioned for their spirit OF
harmony and Co-operation, and 1t is
the prediction Of Coach Krause that
it will be almost impossible to keep
these boys off the regular team next
season. They stood the brunt Of the
scrimmages. and their aid was great
ly appreciated by the Team and Coach:
Everett Miller. David Walker,
Frank Williams, Walter Perkins,

Snow sliSs Cl.,m, Two

On Sunday morning at 8 o'clock
while on their w1y to the Doctor Mine
with two four-horse teams, Stephan
Suskikov. Russian, and Bruce Ad-
rian, young man Of 16 years. were
caught in a slide, ono mile below
Moscow, on Spring creek, and both
killed.
Mr.. E. F. Adrian was driving one
of the teams, Mr.. Suskikov the other,
accompanied by the young man who
was just going "along to help daddy"
when they came upon a slide and de-
cided to turn back to camp. They
had turned one set of fours around
ard were just getting ready to turn
the second set, when Mr.. Adrian was
hit by snow and cried 'look out boys"
He did not hear a word from the 9TH
er two men. being immediately COW
e-ed by the slide, but fortunately he
was carried along with two of the
lead horses and found himself at the
hips of one Of them which kept try
ing to get out, thereby breaking snow
around him and Mr.. Adrian being able
to take advantage of it with his left
leg, worked himself free. Just as he
had cleared himself second slide
came down and covered him again, but
the horses finally worked their heads
clear of the snow and by so doing
helped him in freeing himself again.
A miner happened along. saw the
s''de. and discovered the horses heads
protruding from the snow, He imme-
distely ran back to camp for help.
Mr. Adrian after freeing himself
started for camp for shovels, all of
his being buried in the slide He re-
turned with the miners who were all
out in force, to help find the other
men.
Mr.. Adrian was under the snow
about three hours, but outside of be-
ing badly shaken up, escaped with
very few bruises.
The body of Bruce was found under
three feet of snow, not far from
where the slide struck him, while
the other man was buried under
eleven feet, but was found very short
ly afterwards.
Bruce Adrian. adopted son of E. F.
Adrian, was born at Marble, Colorado,
and was 16 year old March 16, 1920.
He attended school here last year and
graduated from the eighth grade last
Christmas at Jacks Cabin. He was q
very popular and prominent young
man among his schoolmates and his
untimely passing has cast shadow
of gloom over the whole school here.
His classmates presented beautiful
flowers for the funeral, which will be
held at the Community Church at 1880
Friday afternoon. Undertaken Miller
will be in charge.
Mr.. Suskikov was not very well
known here. having only been en-
ployed a short time at the Doctor
mine. He will be buried from the
Miller Undertaking Parlors at II a. m.
Friday.
The entire community extends
heartfelt sympathy to those bercaved
in this sad accident.
