in Minnesota and no prospects Of
relief within a month, Ivan Bowen,

LOW SALARIES CAUSE
EXPENSIVE TURNOVER
Annual Report Of Appointment
Division, Department of
Commerce, Made Public

Washington, Dec. 15.-In his an
nual report for the fiscal year 1922,
the Chief of Appointment Division,
Department of Commerce, expresses
the opinion that low salaries of Gov
ernment employees and the restric-
ton placed on promotion by the pro-
visions of statutory positions are
largely responsible for the excessive
and therefore expensive turnover in
the service.
Giving a practical comparison bas-
ed upon purchasing power, reference
is made to the fact that while be-
tween 1913 and 1921 the cost Of liv-
ing had increased So per cent, the
purchasing power of the wages of
two large classes Of industrial en-
ployees had increased 81 and 80 per
cent, respectively, whereas the sal
aries Of Government employees had
received no adjustment other than
that given by the bonus, which was
entirely inadequate, providing for a
maximum of 80 per cent increase
for the lowest paid employee to none
in the case Of those receiving $2,740
or more. Reclassification and read
justment of salaries are given as the
practical remedy.
The report also confutes the idea
generally prevailing that the average
Government employee takes 80 days
annual and 80 days sick leave every
year. During the calendar year 1921
only 81 per cent Of the Departments
employees used all their annual
leave, and only four per cent used
the maximum of annual and sick
leave.

Grand Junction, Colo, Dec. 1t -
The giant gray wolf that for years
roamed Mesa County and caused
hundreds of dollars in losses to stock

The wolf leader Of a bold pack
measured seven and one-half feet
from tip to tip and weighed $50
pounds. Veteran trappers and hunters
say it is one of the largest ever killed
on the western slope of Colorado.
Score of hunters have tried vainly
for years to run down the giant lobo,
but he always avoided their baited
traps and kept! out of range of their
rifles. ~4s==35.i i;.-< =Es

morning the trap and log were gone
and a trail led through the forest.

For three days he. followed the
windings of the furrowed path left
by the log as the wolf sought to es-
cape. At the end Of the third day,
fifty miles from the place where he
set the trap, Hummel came upon the
animal, exhausted, but showing fight.
A shot from his 30-30 ended the

SASKATCHEWAN LIQUOR
EXPORTS BAN ON TODAY
(By United Press)

Saskatoon, Sask., Dec. 15.-The
ban on liquor exports goes on today
in Saskatchewan. The province on
Oct. 18th passed the order in council
requesting such action as provided
for by the temperance amendment
act Of 1919. The requesting Of the
dry order was kept secret for some
time to prevent last minute scram-
BILE from whiskey runners along the
border to take advantage of the few
remaining wet days. It was feared
that highjacking, murders, etc. would
result if the rush started for heavy
supplies. ~"~ &'a -
Adventures swarmed to Saskat-
chewan when whiskey runners made
the export business immensely pro-
fitable. In November there were six
licensed export liquor houses in the
province, two in Regina, three in
Saskatoon, and one in Moose Jaw.
1t was estimated that their total
stock then was $4,000 gallons Of
hard liquor with $4,000 more in gov
ernment bonded warehouses.
The liquor can be stored two years
in government bonded warehouses
and most of the owners will take ad-
vantage of this hoping for reversal
of sentiment and return of the wet
days. ~.

countries was proposed by Secretary
of Labor Davis in recommendation.
which would reyolutionise the pre-:
sent system of immigration exami-
nation, set forth in the Secretary's
annual report recently made public.
The Secretary declared that the pre-.
sent system gives to foreign nations
the privilege of selecting the immi-
grants whom they will permit to come
to the United States. Secretary Davis
presented his proposal as follows:
'tWith the close Of the World War
America faced a veritable flood Of
immigrants, seeking refuge from the
conditions in the war-torn countries
of Europe and the Near East. To
stem the tide Congress passed a law
limiting the immigrants from any
froeign country to 3 per cent of the
tionality resident in the United StaD'
foreign country to per cent of the
States in 1910. Under this law the
United States has checked the
stream of aliens flowing to this
country, arbitrarily, pending. the
framing of a policy under which only
the best Of those applying for adnis':
sion will be allowed to enter. In the
first year Of it's operation the 3 per
cent law cut down the number of
foreigners admitted by more than
half q million. @.E',..,:. >'cS.tt
NEARLY 100000 foreigners, re-
presenting every. element in the
tangled populations of the Old
World, and every race beneath the
sun, sought admission to America in
the year before the percentage law
became effective During the first
year under the law less than 800, 900
were admitted. One effect Of the
law was to cut down materially the
percentage of the total immigration
which came from southern and east
.ern Europe, the source of the alien
stream which the year before
brought about 100000 to our shores.

RED LAKE COUNTY MAN
REVIEWS RIVER FLOODS
Conditions in the Clearwater
River Basin Show Early
Settlers Struggles

A farmer who came to Equality
township, Red Lake county in 1896,
the year. the reservation was opened
for settlement, gave recently an in
steresting account Of early conditions
in that section of the country, espec-
ially- with reference to the Clear
water river basin. When he came
in July of that year the swamps and
higher lands were alike dry and the
river flowed within it's bed. In the
summer of 1897 a heavy continued
rain came just as the log drive had
passed. The low lands were flooded
and from that time on for several
summers at the time the drive came
down the lands were flooded. The
people were not slow in demanding
that log driving on the Clearwater
river be done away with feeling
assured that the flooding would stop
if the river was left to it's natural
flow.
For several years after the log
driving ceased, the hay on the mead
ows near the river bed could be cut
in season while those farther back
having no outlet Tor surface water
would sometimes be wet during the
greater part of the summer.
About the year 1906 with the de-
nand for roads and drainage bitches
growing there began the establish
ment Of town, county or judicial
bitches, all Of them emptying their
contents into the Clearwater river.
These bitches have been CONSTRUCTED
practically every year from that
time up to the present. .s
About the years l909-1O the peo-
pie along the river bottom began to
break and cultivate their land assum-
ing they were safe from floods. A,
