qua Park yesterday. There was an

lemonade being furnished free. Noon
was the dinner hour and at 1870 the
pioneers were directed to the spot
chosen for the group picture of the
club. Messrs. Mcfarland and futile
co-operated in this feature of the
days proceedings and very fine pic
ture was the result Of their efforts.
This picture will be enlarged and will
be used as a historical picture of the
county association in the future.
The program for the afternoon OPP

Herrin, ILL.,, June 27.-Guards may
be thrown around the hospital where
IL survivors of the Lester massacre
are recovering from their injuries.
Reports have been received that there
will be an attempt made to get the
lives of the survivors,. The hospital
authorities believe that the members
of the mob fear that the survivors
know too much. Herrin business

a. small detachment of soldiers to es-

A telegram just received from Sen
ator McCumber announces the fact
that he has introduced resolution
directing the Interstate Commerce
Commission to institute an investiga-
ton as to Railway Rates in North Da-
kota and if discrimination is practiced
to take such action as will remove
such unjust discrimination.
The Importance of this resolution
to North Dakota farmers and business
men can hardly be exaggerated. The
development of North Dakota has
been retarded fully twenty-five years
by the unfair discrimination in freight
rates practiced by the railroads in
favor of St. Paul, Minneapolis, and
Duluth.
| The people of North Dakota as a
whole have not complained because
they did not realize the situation. Ev-
eryone in the State realized that our
commercial DEVELOPMENT was unduly
slow and vaguely felt that something
must be wrong but the subject of
freight rates, tariffs, and schedules is
a technical one-in fact one of the
most technical subjects in the world
and it was not until Fargo and James
town employed freight rate experts
and established Freight Rate Bureaus
that we began to realize our most de-
plorable situation.
AS an illustration of the discrimin-
alton practiced by the railroads it is
only necessary to mention the fact
that in spite of the fact that North
Dakota grows more spring wheat than
any other northwestern state our
freight rate is from twenty to thirty
five percent higher thus throwing a
direct tax onto our farmer producers
of from eight to fifteen cents per
bushel on all of the wheat grown in
North Dakota. The freight tariffs are
full Of such examples and it would
| take a volume to discuss the situation
as it exists. The City of Fargo has
already commenced an action before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
bringing in issue all of the rates both
in and out of Fargo, and the cities
: of Wahpeton and Grand Forks will
intervene in said action, but the State
as a whole has remained inactive be-
cause of their lack of knowledge con-
corning the subject.
The North Dakota Federation of
Civic and Commerce Organizations,
DESTROYS of bringing the entire rate
structure of North Dakota into the
limelight, appealed to Senator P. j.
McCumber for assistance ad requested
him to introduce a resolution which
would bring the matter to head.
The Senator's reply was prompt and
to the point and those in close touch
with the situation predict that at last
we will have relief from our intolera-
BILE freight rate structure.

the need of fitting memorial to the
pioneers of the county and suggested
the erection of a statue at some cen
trail point in the county to their men,
Dry. Mr.. Heidel suggested that the
entrance to the Valley City city park
would be good site for this statue
as being the point in the county pass
ed by more people than any other
|place. He suggested statue show
ing a figure Of a pioneer man and wo-
man placed on pedestal as giving
an idea of what the statue should
consist Of. The idea seemed to take
we'll with the assembled pioneers and
"a motion made by D. w. Clark and
seconded by Chas. F. Mudgett carried
unanimously instructing the president
to appoint committee of nine old
settlers to study the proposition and
report their findings. This committee
will be appointed later by Mr.. Heidel.
Harry Davidson entertained the
pioneers with a vocal selection and
this was followed by experience talks
by various old settlers. John Maresh
spoke of hardships encountered when
he rode into North Dakota from Mon
tana on horseback before the advent
of the railroad. Mrs. Wylie Nelson
told of the hardships and pleasures
which fell to the lot of the Nelson
family in pioneer days. J. H. Rogers
also told his experiences. Bryan
CLARK entertained the crowd with a
"Song Fest" in that inimitable man.
ner of his and the band gave another
selection. The Young Pioneers Quar-
tet, composed Of the four sons Of A.
H. Davidson, rendered few selec-
!tions and took very we'll with the
crowd.
Governor J. A. o. Preus spoke for
about fifteen minutes on the Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence Waterway pro-
ject, urging the assembled old set
tiers to do all in their power to ad-
vance the passage of legislation ap-
proving this project. Governor Preus
is a forceful speaker and his talk
was thoroly enjoyed by everyone
there.
The meeting concluded with the
Singing of "God Be With You Till
We Meet Again"
The evening was taken up with
dancing, the Old Settlers occupying
the City Hall and the youngsters
having the use of the Legion Bowery
floor on the south side Of the City
Hall. That the pioneers enjoyed this
feature of the entertainment is put
ting it mildly.
Yesterdays meeting was one of the
best ever held by the Barnes County
Pioneer Association and a great deal
of the credit for the success Of the
picnic is due to the efforts of D. w
Clark, who was chairman of the en-
tertainment committee.

Havana, Cuba.-Highly elated nv
their victory last May over picked
swordsmen from the New York
Athletic club, Cuban fencers have
begun training and are arranging
elimination bouts to pick a team
for the International tournament to
be held in Havana next February.
Pho Alfonso, one OF Cuba's most
noted master alarms, is in charge
Of the preliminary work. Reports
from the United States say that the
Amateur Fencing League Of Amer
lea. which has accepted the Cuban
challenge to engage in the Febru-
airy tournament, has discovered
that interest in fencing in the Unit
ed States is increasing and that
new fencing masters have been i'm
ported from Europe to develop
latent American talent.
The Cuban team that met the
New Workers last spring, while
composed Of experts, was not rem
resentative Of the republic, for lack
OF time prevented the holding OF
adequate elimination bouts. Under
present conditions, elimination
bouts viii be held every Saturday
winners names will be posted, and
they will be forced to accept chal-
lenges from other winners. The
members ct the 1922 team viii have
the right to compete with the final
winners OF the elimination con-
tests for the honor Of representing

IN 20 DAYS

Especial C0rreSponoence.J
Geneseo, Oct. 12.-Work on the
state hard road between GeneseO
and Silvis is now nearly completed,
only about 1850 feet remaining at
the close of yesterdays activity.
Superintendent Smith of the Capt.
tai Construction company said
they now have plentiful supply of
cement. It is hoped to pour the
last batch Of concrete Saturday
and number OF people Of this city
are planning to be present at the
mixer when that is done.
Plans for the celebration at the
time the road is opened and dedi-
Gated to public service have been
carried forward as far as possible.
Letters have been received from
the Chambers of Commerce at Rock
Island, Moline, East Moline, East
Moline and the mayors of East Mo-
line and also Moline signifying
willingness to Cooperate in COM
plotting arrangements. As the road
is state aid bond issue road it is
decided to retain the completion
of arrangements entirely within
Illinois cities, although Davenport
will be invited to join in the cele-
bration.
Conflicting reports are heard re-
garding the activities of the r. F..

which has remaining the 3k miles
between Geneseos and Atkinson.
The company has already informed
the state highway commission of
their desire to discontinue work
for this fall, leaving the stretch

work next year 1t is understood
they are unable to obtain gravel,
crushed rock and cement in the
large quantities necessary for
them to operate at full force. Ten
carloads were offered them one day

with 80 carloads additional the

all that might be needed would be

were also given the company re-
garding gravel and cement. As :,
result orders have been received at
Atkinson to Immediately begin the
construction of the road. A later
report which comes from 4 source
considered absolutely authorita-
tive, leads one to believe that the
Conway company since being as
! sured of an abundance of materials
will make the effort to complete
the entire distance this fall with
the approval of the state highway
commission. They are capable of
laying about 700 feet per day and

Is KING GEORGE
BUM SPORTSMAN?
LOOKS THAT WAY

London.-King George has ex-
ceeded all his previous records as
a shot on the moors. For three and
a half days on the Moy Hall moors
there fell to his gun 407 brace of
grouse. In a single drive his ma
jesty had 102 birds. q.
The sport enjoyed by the king
and his guests at Balmoral. accord
ing to the correspondent who sends
this news to London, is of a very
different order from that found at
Windsor by an earlier monarch. In
1874 when George l, the king of
that day, went shooting in Windsor
park, his bag totalled five pleas
ants and one partridge. Seven years
earlier George l, after enjoying
run with the hounds, is reported to
have walked about three miles
with his fowling piece, killing sew
eral brace of partridge flying"
Which proves" writes the old
sportsman, how vastly ideas of
what constitutes sport differ with
different generations of sportsmen.
The bag made by George V at Moy
Hall proves him to be an excellent
wing shot, and nobody can doubt
that in all respects he is a thor
ough sportsman. And yet there are
men living today-and there are
not a few Americans among them
think. to whom the picture of
King George 1, walking through
Windsor park, carrying and load
ing his own gun and shooting at
such birds as came his way, will
appeal far more strongly than that
of King George V, stationed behind
a screen of some sort so that the
birds cannot see him, with some
body close at hand to load his gun
for him, and lot Of gamekeepers
doing their best to make the birds
fly towards him so that he can
bag them with a minimum of ex-
ertion. Out west, even nowadays.
bringing down 102 birds in one
drive under such conditions would
hardly be regarded as sport at all.
The western sportsmen might even
call it slaughter. King George I at
least gave the birds he bagged a
sporting chance for their lives. So
did every sportsman who shot
grouse or pheasants in those old
days"
