PREPARING FOR BIG
FOURTH OF JULY
Base Ball, Parade, Boxing
Bouts, Fire Works at
Pine City.

Recently the Pine City, Hinck-
ley. Sandstone and Askov posts
of the American Legion have
formed county association and
are to hold meetings once a
month.
Under auspices of this new
county organization the Fourth
Of July will be celebrated at Pine
City this year. Each post is
boosting for one big celebration
and from present indications
their first attempt will be a big
affair.
A special meeting of represen-
tatives from all four posts met
last night at Sandstone and dis
cussed ways and means of making
every part Of the celebration a
big success.
The Pine City delegation re-
ported last evening that nearly
every part of the days activities
was arranged for and will be
about as follows: AT 1890 a. m.
there will be a parade Of floats.
ETC., which gives promise Of be-
ing almost a mile long; at 1890
street sports of various kinds
will commence; the Pine City
band will furnish music through
out the day; at the fair grounds
there will be seven boxing bouts
and ball game between Hinck-
ley and Rush City; a speaker has
as yet not been engaged but one
or two will be secured. The Gov
ernor, whom the Legion first an
nounced as their speaker, will
likely be unable to be there. A
$500 display Of fireworks will be
pulled off in the evening, fol-
lowed by a dance in the Armory.
Each of the four posts will be
represented on the grounds with
lunch stands and otherwise.
1t is hoped TO make this annual
event the biggest in the county
and the county association ex-
tends a cordial welcome to every
one.

growth of bureaucracy and the
mania for legislation. II is
probably true that Senator Fess
is echoing the sentiment of many
thoughtful taxpayers in declar-
ing that there is a dangerous
trend in legislation Of the day"
Senator Fess says that spokes-
men for the farmers are frequent
ly unreasonable in their demands
in that they want ready-made
remedy"
Another missionary is f. HI.
Cunningham, a member Of the
Federal Reserve Board, who is
preaching the rule of reason in
the northwest.
This Federal financial expert
does not attach much weight to
the activities of professional le-
gislative agents of the farmers.
He feels that the time is at hand
when the farmer should resent
efforts OF certain groups TO car
ry the discredit that attaches to
it at this time by reason of the
indiscreet expressions Of those
who thoughtlessly misrepresent
it, Mr.. Cunningham insists that
it is marvellous that the American
farmer can function under and
still remain solvent in spite of
the unusual amount of misrepre.
sentation as to his condition.
It is obvious that the Reserve
Board official expresses the views
of many Government men in
Washington on the agricultural
problem when he says, the sum
of it all is that legislation, by it.
self, means nothing to the pro-
Queer unless it can be accompani-
ed by good business practice, in
telligent production and sound
financing"

Washington, June 17.-When
there is nothing else to talk about
in Washington. it is always a
good political policy to manifest
pity for the farmer. Sentiment
has been changing of late and
there is growing evidence of a
desire to look at the facts and not
theories in regard to agriculture.
During the rush season in the
Capitol when Congress is in ses-
sion. you can always find groups
Of men peddling legislative nos
trums which are, in the last an
alysis, more for political effect
than a consideration of economic
al factors affecting the farmer.
The administration and politi-
cal leaders of the major part is
showing a tendency to frown on
efforts to embroil the farmer at
a time when the signs point to
his ability to work out his own
salvation through the natural OPP
Grafton of economic laws.
Feeling exists there that some
writers over-played their hands
in specializing upon the signifi-
canoe of the Presidents recent
visit to Minnesota. 1t is true
that his personal talks made a
deep impression upon the far
mers of the Northwest and un-
doubtedly influenced local poll
tics in Minnesota, but not to the
extent assumed by some OBJ
servers.
1t is apparent that Mr.,
Coolidge is determined to reduce
Legislative panaceas for the farm
ers and business men to a mini
mum. Missionaries of the Ad.
ministration are already preach
ing the gospel of common sense
throughout the country. Senator
Fess of Ohio has spoken twice
within few days warning Of the

ASKOV EASY VICTOR
OVER SANDSTONE

If victory is what the home
folks want-and of course all
teams like to win-then the
Askov base ball fans were given
much to be happy for Sunday
afternoon when Askov defeated
Sandstone to the tune of 10 to l
on the Askov grounds.
1t looked like it was to be a
shut out game but Sandstone
managed to put one tally across
in the final stanza. Jens Hyldahl
was throwing gilt-edge ball for
the locals and he had good sup
port, Gust Thomson at short star
ring with 5 assists, ! put-out and
no errors, making also 8 safe hits
at 5 times to bat. Gust was all
there.
Edward Larson was also deliv-
ering a good grade of pitching
for Sandstone but his support
was a little ragged in the seventh
and eighth innings and his team
mates were not hitting.
Spectacular catches were made
by both Thomson and Asklund
and when Simonsen tried to
stretch a good long two-base hit
into a three-bagger Sandstone's
denfense was working fine. Ry-
an in center jumped the fence
and fielded the ball in very quick
order. Stenberg on third chung

Manager Nick Rantala of the
Quarry City team, was reported
as coming up with IL men strong
and he said that il anyone did
not deliver the goods he would
be "yanked". Much to the mer-
riment of the fans the genial
county attorney, Albert Johnson,
was called into service in the
third inning by Manager RAINFALL.
Johnson performed like veteran

age of Mr.. Larsen considerable
fear was felt Immediately after

attending him, have sent out the
report, supported by statements
of the surgeon in whose care Mr..
Larsen has been placed, that his

Ragnar R. Schuyler, a road en-
gineer of Sweden, is at present in
this country studying the system
employed here for the construc-
ton of automobile highways. He
reports that the Swedish authori-
ties have decided to experiment
with the American bodybuilding
methods which have been recon-
mended for use in Sweden where
the ever increasing automobile
traffic makes it necessary to con-
struct roads different from those
now existing.

Rumors circulating in Danish
American newspaper offices are
to the effect that the Dansk It'd
ende in Chicago in the future
will be edited by Poul Hoff
Gunst. The paper which is a
successor to Revyen, was taken
over by stock corporation three
years ago, and has had number
of editors. No reason for the re-

torship has ever been announced.

OXEN REPLACE HORSES IN THE
 CASSIAR FIELD
OXEN IN CASSIAR USED F o R FREIGHTlNG PURPOSES, SAID
 BELONG WEST ALASKA.

Among the interesting things not ed in the Cassiar district by Bruno Agostino, who has just returned from six months stay in the district, nassing thru Seward the other day on his way to Anchorage, was that of two oxen which are being used in the district for freighting and pack ing in supplies.
 Owing to the large areas of swam- py ground, it is almost impossible, in certain localities, for horses to accomplish much work. Owing to the split hoof on the OK, 1t appears they are able to extract their feet from the marshy. land, with much greater ease than a horse. IT haul ing in supplies, small cart with one shaft is attached to the OXen but ir the extremely bad places, these arg discarded and pack saddles put on the c1eu.
 Fcurlec:l Lead of horses were sent into the scene of the reput@l gold st".ke, early this month, Dy the Hud son Bay company and also trac tor. This company conducts foul stores or trading posts in the dis trict, according to MT. Agostino.
 There were number of Alaskans from this district on Telegraph creek whom MT. Agostino met, but the most of them he did not recall by name aside from J. J. Griffith, { former Nevada mining man, who ha: made his home along the railroad belt for the last year; George Will lis, a chef who has been employed in Seward restaurants and w. A Taylor, a resident of Anchorage.
 MT. Agostino departed for Anch orage yesterday morning and ey poets to take over the Premier coa mine on Moose creek. He is tn leasee of the property, sub-leasing i to the present company, prior t his departure for the Cassiar region more than six months ago.
