ed in requests which pour by thou
sands to congressman.
THE hue and cry, inconsistency.
THE hue and cry is for decreased
taxation" Taylor says Everywhere
the high cost of government is de-
nounced, and rightfully. Yet prob
ably every community in the 4S
states has requested appropriations
from congress for all sorts and con-
ditions of work."
A member of the appropriations
committee, Taylor speaks at first
hand.
Should all these demands. to con-
gress on the part of the communities
be complied with, Taylor said, the
United States could soon run through
the wealth of seventeen governments.
AS result, Taylor said, since the
lest 20 years, the proceedings in the
house have increased 90 fold. A rep
resentative 16 years, Taylor is now
preceded by only % congressman in
seniority. Not alone do presidents
succumb to the lahors of public SER
vice. he said. In his time approxi-
mately 400 representatives have died
their death due in no small measure
t. overwork.
Decentralization and more power

message.

and power TO the state legislatures

Dear Buck Taylor:
It's sure too bad that Pm SO bizzy
Hard work in summer makes me
dizzy.
l CANT come down to tend your
meetin'.
Because the farmers here Pm greetin'.
You know tits Congress time at Col

And steer the ship with hand On

I CANT cen stop to pull up sox,
Fur fear the ship goes on the rocks.

Behold the Bull Train, folks turn out,
Inspect the sires we gave away,
See how the farmers made them pay.
Hear what this demonstration

Come one, come all, the whistle

The Bull Trains here,
Now. cheer on cheer!

Water Eats AWAY Old Fort Site

Many who are acquainted with
western history have read OF Manuel
Lisa. One of the earliest of French
traders in the Northwest. Lisa had
to keep on the alert most Of the time
against Indian attacks. and caused
forts to be erected at several of his
trading posts.
One of these. Old Fort Manuel
has become historical for the reason
that 1t was named after him. 1t has
now been discovered that this old
tort and it's site have been eaten"
away by the river and is now several
hundred feet out in the stream. This
fact has caused some concern among
historians who have been unable to
find any trace of the old fort when
in search of It for data. At the time
it was established it was thirty-five
miles north of the point where the
Grand River flows into the Missouri.
at a point near the present boundary
line between North and South Dako-
Ia. The reader must bear in mind
that there arc two Grand Rivers
which flow into the big Muddy"
and the one mentioned is the upper
Grand. The exact location of the
historic old post has for a long time
been q matter of dispute. but this
has now been ended by the diScov-
cries of q group of historical EXPERTS
who have made an exhaustive search
to end the controversy.
Early records show that when the
old post was established II stood
back from the edge of high bluff

fifty yards. The Missouri River.

will have his mink. his fox or his
other wild animal farm.
Mr.. Burke paid $500 each for his
female mink. He showed one fero-
cious male mink. which he calls the
Killer, and rightly so, because the
male recently got at female mink
and bit her head clean off.
When the mink were brought into
the State. Mr.. Burke having received
his permit from the Fish and Game
Department. four OF the animals
escaped. In order TO catch them, MIR.
Burke had to sacrifice some of his
own blood. He stretched out full
length on the ground and beckoned
the rpnaways until in turn, each of
the four came up to him, nibbled
bis fingers and kept at 1t. until the
blood run. Until only then was the
owner able to grasp the mink and
put them into their new homes.
When the wild mink are first
taken into captivity. they are placed
in wooden cell like home, where
they cannot harm themselves. At
first they are very wild and would
even tear out their own teeth, If they
came in contact with. wire. A mink
cannot jump more than three or
four feet up.
Mr.. Burke. in speaking of the
future of the fur industry says that
the old stock is pretty well cleaned
up. Domestic industry will have to
increase to keep the supply ahead
of the demand. The climax in fur
raising was reached in 1919 and at
that time. 1t seemed that the demand
would go no higher. But it has and
because of this condition. the farmer
of tomorrow will also be raising
mink, muskrat. skunk. beaver. along
with potatoes, beans and pumpkins.

ArOOstOOk Case
In the Aroostook county case of
Mike Beaulieu VS.. Downing G. Hors-
man. and insurance carrier, the ap-
peal of the defendants is dismissed
! with costs for Beaulieu.
The rescript. which was drawn by
Associate Justice Warren C. Phil
Philbrook of Watcrville, is as fol-
lows:
This is an appeal from a decree
OF sitting Justice affirming a de-
cfsion of the chairman of the In
dustrial Accident Commission, deny
ing the petition of the insurance car
rler to end compensation, and fur
Their ordering compensation con-
tinued according to the terms of the
agreement between the parties
which was duly approved by the
Commissioner of Labor, and further
ordering payments to commence
from the date of the last payment
of compensation. the same to con-
TRUE according to the provisions of
the Workmen's Compensation Act.
HELD: l. The provisions of Sec
ton 30 of the Compensation Act,
prescribing 4 petition for review of
DEGREES and agreements, do not ap-
ply to agreements in which the
period of compensation is not def
ritely limited.
,. Without doubt. the overwhelm
ing weight of authority holds that q
man cannot continue to receive
compensation and at the same time
refuse to submit to proper medical
or surgical treatment such as an or
dinarily reasonable man would SUBJ
NIT to in like circumstances.
3. But in proceedings under the
English Compensation Act it has
been held that whether or not a
workman is unreasonable in refus-
ing to have an operation performed
Is Il question of fact with which an
appellate court will not interfere
where the doctors are not wholly
agreed as to the advisability of the
operation.
4. In the case at bar the chair
man OF the Commission found "as
a matter of fact" that Beaulieu had
not unreasonably refused to submit
to proper surgical treatment. Care
fUl examination of the record fully
justifieS the finding. The doctors
and surgeons who testified are at
variance as to the exact nature of
the treatment which should be tried.
and all practically admit that any
operation would be followed by
great pain and inconvenience and
that the results of any treatment
would be uncertain as to perma-
nently successful results.
Decree affirmed.
Appeal dismissed with costs for
Beaulieu.
