These are only two instances. Soon
they win be multiplied by hundreds.
The great forest regions of British
Columbia are populated with lonely
workers. The hand logger is the best
example. These men, sometimes
singly, sometimes in pairs, obtain
small timber concessions on the
mountain or inlet sides. To the un-
initiated that one or two men could
cut huge trees and get them into the
water hundreds of feet below seems
unbelievable. Yet they do it. One
great aid is a Gilchrist jack. an in
strument worth noting here in this
article devoted to telling of mans
triumph over the wilderness. for the
jack does the lifting of a hundred
men under the control OF one. Often
one or two land loggers remain in
the same place for a year or more.
In the future great many of them
will install radiophones. With the
rapid progress made in the cheap
manufacture of these instruments
no doubt wilderness owners of ap-
paratus viii soon have sending sets
as well as receiving at their dis
posal. So in case of accident or sick
ness they can call for aid and quickly
get it.

NOTICE

The Nonpartisan league state Of
fees collect League dues and forward
the part to pay for Leader subscrip-
tions to us. In two or three states
during the last few month, a large
proportion of dues have been paid in
post-dated checks, due to the financial
condition of the farmers.
In some instances the state offices
have been unable to collect, in cash,
enough to pay in advance for the en-
tire two-year Leader subscription to
which members joining or re-enrolling
are entitled. Instead of only paying
us for two-year subscriptions for
those farmers who paid in cash, and
not remitting at all for those farmers
who paid in post-dated checks, the
state offices referred to have remitted
to us for ALL farmers who Joined,
but have sent us money for shorter
periods than the two years to> which
members are entitled to the Leader.
Usually these state offices have sent
us money for six-month subscriptions
for all farmers joining during the last
few months. AS post-dated checks are
collected, they promise to send us
money to extend these subscriptions
for the full period to which the farmer
is entitled.
The result is that some Leader ad-
dress labels show that some subscrip-
tions have been extended only six
months, and some farmers have COM
planned, not understanding the facts.
If you have Joined the League re-
Gently and given cash or post-dated
check, you will get the paper for the
full two years to which you are en-
titled, if your check is paid when due.
Do not worry about it, even if the ad-
dress label shows you have been cred
tied with only six-nionth subscrip-
tion. For your state Office has prom
ised us that it will remit to us in due
time, as post-dated checks are collect
ed, for the balance of your subscrip-
tion. The address label on your paper
will be amended as soon as we get the
balance of the money from your state
Office.

mission to investigate
abuses, profiteering, etc., in the mar
keting of farm products, has passed
the United States senate. It was
backed by the agricultural bloc.
The sudden drop in the price of
wheat and other farm products, dur
ing the so-called defation period,
would be one of the things the federal
trade commission would probe into, if
the house also passes the resolution.
The senate passed the resolution as
introduced by Senator Ladd, without
changing it. The progressive farmer
leaders have indorsed the resolution.
1t is charged that agriculture was
Debated, beginning in October, 1920,
as result of deliberate plot of big
financiers. John Lord in his recent
Leader articles discussed this alleged
conspiracy. Why were farmers de-
f1ated with thud and other busi-
nesses let down easy? Who was re-
sponsible? This is one of the impor-
tant things the federal trade commits
sion will investigate and report upon,
under the resolution.
Friends of the farmers in the lower
house are rallying to support the
Ladd resolution and it has a good
chance of passing. The senate hav-
ing passed it gives it good start and
a backing that at least assures it con-
sideration in the house. Reactionaries

The stakes have been driven fol
which the Republican River Power
Company will shortly erect. This is
the company which recently bought
the Williamson dam and power prop
erty. One big water turbine wheel
is here. A big building is to be
erected at the dam to house this big
turbine wheel and other machinery.
But the old water wheels aud power
plant of the WilliamsOns will also
be used as the company says they
have demand for all the power they
can possibly generate here. For a
time there will be two power plants,
one right at the east end Of the
dam and the other the old William
son plant. The plans are drawn for
the new building, the stakes driven
and work on putting it up will soon
start. 1t is said that at least $780,
900 will be spent here on the power
plant. Eventually it is also said,
an ice plant will also be installed
The dam will be improved and an
effort made to utilize every bit of
water power the river here can gen.
crate, either through the fall of the
water at the dam and the mill race.

KANSAS HAS GAME REFUGEES
Fourteen Places Are Safe For win
Birds

bfr0B
Kansas now has fourteen game
refugees, established under the law
passed by the last legislature. These
are located on farms with a mini
mum Of 100 acres. Game birds on
these refugees are under state pro-
lection. But the stocking OF the
state with game birds by the state
Is not confined to these refugees by
any means. Alva Clapp, state fish
and game warden, reports that this
year he Is sending out 1000 pheas-
ant eggs. as compared with last
years distribution og 4SO. Last fall
100 pair Of young pheasants were
distributed, and this spring 864 quail
were sent out to forty counties. In
this distribution the birds are sent
particularly to counties in which
game birds are scarce.
The farm owner who converts his
land into state game refugee agrees
that neither he nor any member Of
his family will hunt game birds on
the farm for five years, nor will
any one else be permitted to hunt
them. This agreement may be re-
newed mt the end Of the five year
period. Farmers are desirous Of hav-
ing quail and pheasants on their
lands because of value as insect de-
stroying agencies. The refuge own
er also agrees to see that there is
ample fede for tn birds, to plant
food and cover. to kill hawks and
predatory animals which might mo-
lest them and attend to their well
