~ EPORTS received by the United States Bureau
X of Mines from operators of iron mines through
out the country show that accidents in the year 1920
resulted in 100 deaths and oo72 non7atal injuries
The figures represent decreases OF thrtythrec iatai
and twenty-sx fatal accidents as compared with
the previous year. The iron mining industry cm-
ployed $4,000 men, who worked I35747SS shifts,
which is practically the for 1910. Zach en-
ploye averaged 2o5 working days as compared with
2o2 the year before. The figures indicate fatality
rate Of 24 and injury rate of 2oo4o per 1000 men
employed (3oo-day workers).
A notable feature of the years activities was
gain of about 46 per in the extent of open pit
mining operations in which there were 2o3o253 shifts
A total of z,483oI5 shifts worked underground,
a loss of about per cent from the previous years
record Underground operations showed fewer shifts
worked, particularly in Minnesota and Alabama. al
though these two States experienced increased activity
at openrpit mines. The production OF iron ore has
been estimated by the United States Geological Survey
at 6ooooooo gross tons which is approximately 49,
100000 tons more than produced in 1919.

COOPERATIVE MARKETING

Maine farmers seem not to have
taken too kindly to the system of CO.
operative marketing of farm products
nor to cooperative purchasing of farm
supplies through farmers organiza-
tons according to the report recently
issued from figures obtained through
the Bureau of the Census, based on
the 1920 census of agriculture. Only
1854 or two and six tenths per cent
Of the 4S,227 farms of the Pine Tree
state made sales by means of the
marketing organizations during the
year reported; 3,407, q seven and one
tenth percentage bought ~f1owever.
through the purchasing agencies run
by agricultural interests in coopera-
ton.
The United States as a whole shows
a greater tendency to take advantage
of this means of bringing produce to
market and of obtaining necessary
supplies. Seven and nine-tcnths per-
cent of the total farms in the country

his lands border a waterfall has the
right to the use of that water in
passing. Under the proposed amend
ment the State could tax him for
such use. 1t could improve that wat
erfall and tax the shore owner to
pay for the improvement.
With respect TO all this is the
Governor Of the same opinion still?
1t is important that the public shall
know if it is to act intelligently re-
specting his recommendations. His
concluding words are evidence that
he thinks he is of the same opinion.
His Introduction conveys the i'm
impression that he would not
himself, while Governor. put
that opinion into full effect. But
he would open the door to it, if
one may Judge from the context, and
there is nothing which We find to
afford assurance that he would not
expect to pave the. way to doing just
what his amendment, proposed last
winter, was drawn to do.
Public sentiment then did not ap-
prove such sweeping measure of
public ownership, the committing of
the State to huge business enter
prises with all entailed thereby, es-
pecially in the present financial con-
dition of the State. We do not think
sentiment now approves it and we
do not find that the Governors state
ment of present policy in any way
prevents the very results he sought
last winter, but rather, would clear
the way for them.
The Journal did not then approve
of that policy and has seen as yet no
occasion to change it's views. If
Governor Baxter will frame another
amendment which shall simply pro-
vide for doing only those things
which the Governor now says he
wishes to do there will be presented
concrete and tangible proposition
upon which the people can pass
Judgment Much will depend on what
that amendment is, or how it is
drawn. Indeed, one would naturally
expect the public to insist, before
taking action, on an opportunity to
consider definite proposition.

ANOTHER LETTER

Whatever interest may attach to
the correspondence, which Governor
Baxter quotes in connection with the
statment he makes regarding his
Water Power policy. will be supple
mcnted by the reply made by Mr..
Cleaves to Mr.. Peters, published in
another column, not having accom-
panied the statement. ~
: A careful reading of all this matter
respecting our water powers is really
obligatory on the voter, If one as
sumes he should vote intelligently,
as it is to be presumed all do.
One can hardly fail to acquire some
distrust of any suggestion that Gov
crnor Baxter has really modified his
purpose in this controversy Indeed
the logical conclusion is that he still
has the same end in view; that he
short or long the way which he him.
self, as Governor would travel it.
But read the letters, all of them;
read what the Governor now says
and has formerly said, for it Is be-
come evident this is a mighty i'm
portant question.
1t may easily be understood why
those connected with business enter
prises in Maine are apprehensive of
plans so far-reaching, so full of gov
eminent ownership and management
possibilities, so likely to cause uncer-
tainty and lead to extravaganza.
How easy it is to enter on govern
ment control We have seen with re-
gard to our steam railroads, likewise
how well-nigh impossible it is to find
the way out once inside.

Where Is Boundary
Between Canada and
i. S. in the St. CrOiX

A special to the Boston Sunday
Globe from st. John. n. b., said:
While there is no real dispute over
it, there is difference of opinion re-
garding the exact location ~of the
boundary line between the United
States and Canada in the st. Croix
River, south of Calais. Both the
United States and Canada have fly
ing boats making surveys. Both
crews will shortly report to their re-
spective Governments. Whatever the
ultimate decision, there is no danger
of the mills which supply the Globe
with newsprint being switched over
into Canada.
State of Maine officials conferred
with the provincial and Federal Of
ficials last week, relative to the in
stalation of screen on Grand Lake,
Maine, which drains into the St
CroiX River. The request for this
screen Arose from the fact that the
salmon in the Maine lakes each sea-
son travel down the river over the
falls. which are so feet high, and are
unable to return to the lakes.
A number of dams at present exist
in the river, none of which is provid-
ed with fishWays. The dam owned
by the St. CroiX Pulp and Paper
Company has been inspected by en-
gineers who have pronounced it as
unsuitable for the construction Of a
tishway on account of the height of
the dam, which makes it doubtful in
the event of such a possible fishway
being constructed, whether fish would
be able to use it,
In view Of these facts the Amcri-
can fishery people are taking up the
matter Of screen construction to PIE
vent the loss of fish from the lakes
on the American side, and request
for an assurance that Il demand for
a fishway in the dam of the st. Croix
Pulp and Paper Company would not
lie made by the Canadian Govern
mcnt at some future time.
The party of engineers motored to
Marysville and inspected the fishway
installed in the dam of the Nash
walk Pulp and Paper Company,
across the Nashwaak River. Fishways
of similar design are to be installed
by Canadian Cottons, Ltd. at Mill
town, and by the electric company at
Calais, Me.
The screen at Grand Lake, Me,
will be largely paid for by the st.
CroiX Pulp and Paper Company. The
State will pay $1,000 toward the con-
struction.

Prehistoric Indian
Relics Found in
Western New Mexico

Zuni, \. NJ, Nov. To prairie
dog and a Zuni Indian belongs the
credit for discovery of two ancient
kivas or ceremonial chambers of pre-
historic Indian life in Western New
Mexico. Valuable relics were recov-
cred which it is believed may throw
additional light on earliest civilization
in this country.
The find was made while Frank w

and a Zuni Indian were making ex-
cavations at the old abandoned viii
lage Of Hawiku in Southwestern
Mckinley county. The Indian no.
ticed human bones in the loose dirt
around the freshly dug habitat Of a
prairie dog. Pursuing the dogs I'M
foreground course with n shovel he
came to the remainder Of the skeleton
and then to a fine piece of prehistoric
masonry which led him into the kivas.
Mr. Hodge draws the conclusion
that the kivas were the work of In
dams from the San Juan district Of
Colorado rather than Of the Iunis of
this section. The masonry was well
preserved and not at all like the care
less work of the Zuns. The struc-
turc was more like the ruins in the
Aztec. Mesa Verde and Chaco canon.
Houses built on the kivas were ap-
parently the work of later peoples.
Ten buIials that were uncarthed. MIR.
Hodge believes, were those of Zunls
Of later times. One kiva was aeven-
teen feet in diameter and its walls
formed an almost perfect circle, the
deviation from the circle being not
more than an inch. The other was
about four feet smaller
