-- Chief
limited Press Dispatchl

st. Paul, January 6>- Farmers
should have the right 10 set the price
of their products like the merchant
the price of his goods, said J. F. Reed
of Lac qui Parle county, the newly
elected president of the Minnesota
Farm Bureau, who was chosen late
yesterday over L. E. Potter of Spring
field, one of the retiring executives.
Mr.. Reed said that the farmers
must be given the right to set the
prices of their products, so that they
will not have to sell even in the pro-
duction of farm crops. Co. operation
must be carried to that extent that
the farmer will be insured profit on
his products. Mr.. Reed said that il
is unjust and unfair to think that the
American farmer must go on raising
crops, the prices of which are set by
agencies beyond his control, and not
taking into consideration production
cost.
F. E. hammers Of Lakeville was
elected vice resident, and Victor An
derson of Wheaton is treasurer. Mrs.
E. V. Ripley of Park Rapids was
elected one of the members OF the ex-
ecutive board She is the first woman
elected TO such position in this
state. Other members of the execu-
tive board elected were Thomas +.
eastman of Owatonna;; j. j. Jacob
son of Vowlus: George Freeman OF

FORT CREVE COEUR
SITE FOUND ATLAST
TwentyYears Investigation
Over Historic Spot
BUILT PAL YEARS AGO
Imposing Marker Is To Be
Formally Dedicated q.
This Year ... a..
IAssociated Press Dispztch.l

Springfield, ILL.,, January 2.-More
than twenty years of>inyestigation has
been ended by the announcement here
that the historic site of Fort Creve
Coeur, on a bluff across the Illinois
decided. Fifteen acres surrounding
river from Peoria has been definitely
the site has ben given to the state, and
an imposing marker has been made
ready for the formal ceremony of des-
ignation. T.. ars. g-... ....
Announcement of the decision by the
lllninois State Historical society was
made by the state department Of pub
lie works and buildings. The full re-
port of the Historical society will be
made public later.
CONVENTIONS fhave been born, and
have lived and died, while this con-
troversy has gradually increased in
interest and warmth All actual re-
mains Of the fort, built 241 years ago
by the French chevaher, LaSalle had
been lost, long ago. The Historical
society weighed all arguments and
decided. But even now that the Illi-
nois State Historical society has
spoken, the doubt has not downed,
and man contenders still maintain
their land holds the sacred remnants
of their earliest Illinois fort.
Owners Of the land on which the
marker will be placed, are Mr.. ana
Mrs. C. H. Wagner of Fond Du Lac
township, Tazewell county. They
Among their most energetic contend
ers was the City of Peoria, which de-
sired that the marker be put on the
Peoria side of the river Some argu-
ment for the Fort Creve Occur OH
Peoria's side was adduced, but it was
too weak. ,ss-.~@
Maps from official archives of the
French government at Paris, put the
fort on the Tazewel side. With that
decided the controversy was still
warm. Land owners up and down the
river laid their claim.
"The search for the truth as to the
exact site" says an announcement by
the Department of Public Works and
buildings" was pursued over many
Years. An examination of all the "
ilnois mnstories. both translations
and originals of French writer's on
the subject and many other books
have been made, in order to make the
collection Of opinions as complete as
possible. The Illinois State Historic
II society finally selected as the act
13al location of the fort spot sit
dated on beautiful bluff overlooking
the Illinois river in Fond du Lac
township, Tazewell county, south and
east of Peoria. This Is the site Sc
lected some years ago by the Peoria
chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution I"

IAssoclated Press D.spatch.1
Omaha, January 6.-MaXt Schroth,
OF Manila, p. l., travelled 5000 miles
to the United States in order to com
plete his American citizenship after he
had labored for twenty -one years un-
der the delusion that he was a citi-

toned, only to learn that he wouIu
have to leave the Philippines where
he was employed in the government
transportation service, aud return to
America to obtain his final papers.
Schroth set out nearly a year ago,
having native wife and six children

Tax Imp orts of Flax
And Wheat Is Urged
Senator Ladd, North Dakota,
Would Protect Producers
Of Their Grains
IAssociated Press Dispatch.I

Washington, D. c., January s.
Taxes on imports OF wheat and nax
which would protect growers OF
these crops in the northwest against
ultimate extinction" was asked OF
senate tariff markers today by Sena-
tor Ladd. republican of North Dakota.
Speaking in behalf of the grain
growers OF that section Senator Ladd
asked for a tariff levy of 25c a Dushel
of the house bill rate on wheat and
65 cents per hundred pounds, or Is
cents above the house rate on -four.
The rate on nax. Mr.. Ladd said, should
be forty cents a bushel as against a
tax of 20 cents in the present emer-
gency law and rs cents in the house
bill. As a compensatory duty on
laxseed oils the senator asked for 8
l-2 cents a pound or approximately
26 cents a gallon. The emergency
law carries a rate of 10 cents a gallon
and the house bill IL cents q
pound
Big Increase In Flax Imports
Senator Ladd told the, committee
that there had been such tremendous
increases IN imports of Tax and its
derivative oils that the industry could
not long exist were the imports to
continue. He declared that If the
fax growing industry were destroyed,
Immediately American manufacturers
of paints, oils and varnishes must
look to foreign lands for their supplies
with the American people paying the
bill. ..
Adequate care OF the industry pro-
vided by the tariff law, the senator
said would add about 100000 acres
of. land to that already devoted to the
production of fax. Turning to the
wheat and -four levies. the senator de-
MED statements that imports of Can
adian wheat did not seriously inter-
fere with or influence the price of
wheat grown south Of the Canadian
line. He said he did not agree with
proposals submitted by James F. Bell,
Minneapolis miller, for an extended
bonding or drawback privilege, de-
claring he believed the suggested
changes would work to the decided
disadvantage and certainly not to the
interest of the evelopment of agricul-
ture In the northwest.
