A Floating Auto.
Arthur Johnson of Detroit, Mich,
has invented and patented an auto
mobile which can be used for sea
travel as we'll as for land travel. The
contrivance is said to be very simple
in fact, so little complicated that
the driver merely by pressing lever
can convert his car into a boat with
out interrupting his trip and with
out making any stop. The inventor
was born in Naugatuck, Conn.,, of
Swedish parents in 1902; six years
old he went with his parents to Swe-
den where he made his home at Sig
anden, Vermland, until 1924, during
which latter year he returned to the
United States.
Cavling Quits.
Henrik Cavling, known by many
Danes in the United States from his
travels in this country and also from
the two-volume work which he wrote
about America, on October 1 resigned
from his position as editor-in-chief of
''Politiken", the largest daily news
paper in Denmark. Mr. Cavling who
will be 20 years old next spring, has
been connected with this paper since
1885, the last twenty years or so as
editor-in-chief. He was always the
first newspaper editor in Scandinavia
to adopt the most practical American
newspaper methods, and quite recent
ly "The New Republic, New York
discussing European papers, said that
the "Politiken" was by far the best
daily published anywhere in the Old
World, due, chiefly, to the exceptional
ability of Mr.. Cavling.
NOrsk Hydro to Expand.
Negotiations are in progress for a
consolidation of the Norwegian giant
concern Norsk Hydro, and the German
chemical trust, Badische Anilien-Fa-
briken, and when the present plans
have been carried through the Norsk
Hydro plants in Norway will be re-
fooled for the production of synthetic
chemicals. AS the German firm is to
take over the sales department, Norsk
Hydro will be in charge of the manu-
facture, and for this reason has sent
representatives to New York to nego-
tiate for loan of twenty million dol
lars from the National City Bank.

COMPLETED LARGE
ADDITION TO GARAGE
Anderson Bros. at Willow River.
Now Have Modern Garage
With 6,400 Square Feet of
Floor Space.

The large garage of Anderson Bros.
dition has just been built, now facing
the highway No. 1 pavement, was de-
dictated with big dance Saturday
night. The dance was under the
auspices of the American Legion post
of Willow River.
The older portion of the garage is
50XS0 feet and the new addition is
50x4S, giving ample working room.
The new part is constructed of hol-
low tile and brick. The sales room
is 3Ox50 feet and Ford cars are sold
here. The Anderson Bros. have two
garages, this one at Willow River,
and another at Denham. Clarence
Anderson and Carl Peterson, who is
also a member of the firm, are in
charge at Denham' and Martin Ander-
son at Willow. They have been in
business at Denham for seven years
and at Willow three years. At Will
low they have a force of two to three
men and more in rush seasons.
The dance Saturday night which
was held in the sales room, was at
tended by large crowd that damned
the room, folks coming from nearly
all of the neighboring towns, quite a
delegation from as far away as Clo-
quet. Music was furnished by Angelo
Yotti, the concertina player of Duluth,
with saxaphone and drums, and an
excellent lunch was served by the
American Legion Auxiliary.

The line crew of the Minnesota
Power & Light Co., headed by T. ]
McMillin as foreman, came to Askov
the first of the week from Cloquet and
have since been busy building a new
sub-station at the southeast corner
of Lars Jensen's lot. 1t is expected
that this will be completed at the end
of the week after which they will
make a number of changes and re-

The main improvement in connec-

sub-station is that Askov village will
hereafter have three phase current
which is the same as is supplied in
all large cities; heretofore the village
has had single phase service. Elec.

current is more economical than the
single and the voltage is consider
ably more steady. The supply OF
current in the village will also be
greater so the line will not be over.

steady growth of business here the
above mentioned improvements had
been ordered.
When asked relative to furnishing

He replied: "I am on my way to the wharf where intend to jump into the water" That is just what he did. He did not even pause at the edge of the dock to calculate the distance to the water nor did he stop to divest himself of any part of his raiment. On the contrary he stepped from the dock into the air and the next thing he struch was the water. Hearing a splash some fishermen in small boat close by investigat- ed and found head bobbing ar ound in the water. The fishermen rescued the old chap, who was none the worse except for a duck ing in the chilly water. He gave no excuse for his rash act further than that he had decided to forego further life.-Valdez Miner.

WHAT'S A TOWN WITHOUT A
 NEWSPAPER

Nobody knows just how many weekly newspapers there are in the United States. Probably there are in the neighborhood of 10.500 weekly publications that can legit- mately be called newspapers. A large percentage are published in one-paper towns.
 Consider. then. what those towns would be without their newspapers. What is the aggregate worth to the nation of these papers?
 Are any other newspapers or pub licatsons appreciably interested in those towns? Will other papers take a stand for the betterment of these communities. for town or ru- ral cooperation and development, for community betterment, for the growth of business and new enter prises?
 Can the grocers. the hardware merchants. the bankers, the dry goods dealers. the clothiers or the other retail merchants get along without their community newspap- CT?

NATIVES vs. WHITES

 Under a ruling recently promul-
 gated no one but Indians may catch
 herring in the waters of Kodiak | It is said this ruling is due to an agreement entered into between
 the Government and the Indians some years ago. and recently the
 Indians have called to the atten- tion of the Government that the l agreement was not being carried out. hence the new ruling.
 Probably no enc will find any fault with the Government for car rying out it's obligations to any people, but the question arises as out of an agreement made in 1892 continues to be an obligation under present conditions. In 1892 the Indians of Alaska were wards of the Nation; they assumed none of the rights of citizenship and &C., ceDted none of it's obligations. Un- der these conditions privileges were granted to the Indians which were denied citizens.
 Today the situation is far differ ent The conditions which made it l good policy to see that the Indians were insured an ample food sup ply and skins for clothing no long CT exist. but the special privileges are still continued. No longer does the Indian fish merely for food; no longer does he hunt the seal for food and clothing. the fish ing and hunting have simmered down to a purely commercial pro- position.
 Today the natives exercise all the privileges of citizenship, but fail to assume any of its obligations. They still claim their special fishing re- serves, from which the white citi- zen is barred. They still claim the right to hunt the fur seal, a right 1 denied white citizens. T.iey own and operate canneries and sawmills and other business ventures with out paying the license and taxes which are demanded of white cit- izens
 However, despite all their 'peciat privileges and immunittes as wards of the Nation they demand and ex- ercise the right to vote.
 If these natives are citizens; if they are entitled to the privileges of citizenship. then they should al- so be made to assume the obliga- tions of such citizenship, the same as their white brother. They should have no privileges not enjoyed by other citizens. Such special priv ileges are not only unfair but they are unconstitutional.
 In the case of the Kodiak herring fisheries, the natives are placed in possession of a monopoly, thing abhorrent under our laws, and in the case of white citizens would not be tolerated.
