Local Nimrods Involuntary
Immersed in Sank Lake
Roy Loveseth and Nolan Gilbert Fall
Out of Boat While Hunting
No Fatalities

Roy, Leyeseth and Nolan Gilbert,
better known by the duck hunters of
this locality as "Freeze cat," were I.
participants in an exceedingly wet
situation Thursday evening of last
week while hunting.
1t was nearly six o'clock and the
aspiring young nimrods had reached
their destination on the BALDWIN
slough ait the head of Sank Lake. With
the decoys placed they had nothing
to do but wait for the ducks to fly
over. Both We're seated on one side
of the boat in the middle of It'll slough
when the mallards came. With no
thought of their predicament they
opened fire almost simultaneously
with the result that their boat cap
sized throwing them head formost in
to four feet of water. 1t was a scene
of confusion for the next fifteen min
utes with arms in the air in futile at
tennpts to keep their guns and ANU
milton above waiter. The boat was re-
turned but dipped so much water
that it sank to the bottom. In the
course of a few minutes which pass
ed as hours i'm the minds of the boys,
the boat WAS again put afloat.
The hunters padded to shore and
returned home with their ardor damp.
ened somewhat but nevertheless
laughing over their experience.
AS for the ducks, they flew safely

resolution adopted by the represen-
tative business men who participated
in this conference which undoubtedly
made history.
Business of the Middle West show
ed THAT it is very much alive to the
imperative necessity of finding So
luton THE agricultural problem
and that evidence alone would be i'm
portant. BUT more than THAT, the
business executives who participated
in that conference acted IN such a
way that definite steps NOW cam be
taken by representatives of the farm
er and other business groups to
work hand-in-lland to prepare the
plan which will work and will be
backed universally.
Tt is expected THAT the National In
dustrial Conference Board, that in
dependent, semi -scientific body repre-
sentative of commerce and industry
generally, which presented its inves-
Higation of agriculture to the st. Paul
Conference, will consent ito function
as the resolution states:
"Whereas, 1t is evident at the pres
emit time that farming in the United
States is suffering from certain eco
nomic EMBELLISHMENTS, which leave
it in less prosperous condition than
other branches of industry and com
merce; and
"Whereas, This unfavorable condi-
tion directly concerns those engaged
in all other kinds of business, since it
is impossible to have a depressed ag-
riculture without injury, in the long
run, to the general welfare and ito
the rest of the economic system; be ut
Resolved, That we recommend
the creation of a committe or COM
mission of business men representing
banking, transportation industry and
commerce, and drawn from different
sections of the country, to cooperate
with the farm organizations IN IAN eff
fort TO develop a program designed
to correct this question:
"And THAT we request the Na'tlonal
Industrial Conference Board, with the
aid of other national business organh-
cations, ito undertake the selection
and organization of such a commit
tee.
Officials of tine ST. Paul Associa-
ton, who called 1.-The conference, be-
lieve that "a farm relief plan will be
ready by the time the Northwest
farmer is ready to do his seeding next
spring. EARLY operation of the relief
plan then would produce its effect on
the marketing of the 1927 crops.
