MAYBE WOLVES ARE
MIGRATING TO PINE
Wolf Bounties i'm County Amount
to $1,000 for First Eleven
Months of 1927. = Increase
Over 1926.

Wolf hunters of Pine county were
not so successful during the month
of November, 1927, as during Octo-
Der. During November total of
$500 in wolf bounties was paid out,
representing thirty-three wolves kill
ed During October, a total of
100000 was paid out in wolf boun-
ties, representing fifty wolves killed.
Considerable more has been paid out
during 1927 than during 1926, the fig
ures being 5000 up to December l.,
1927, while the amount for a similar
period during 1926 was $4,000. The
amount of bounty is $40 for an adult
wolf and So for each cub, which
means that at least 252 wolves were
brought in during the first eleven
months of 1927, against 1876 during a
similar period in 1926. The increase
in wolves is also evident in other
counties, which leads some expert
enced rappers to believe that these
creatures for some unknown reason
are migrating in from the north.

STATION BURNS
AT SANDSTONE
Firemen Work Valiant1y
and Save Part of the
Structure.-LOSS is Esti-,
mated at About SIS, OOO.-
To Rebuild Immediately.

The greater portion of the Great
Northern depot at Sandstone was de-
stroyed by fire late last Thursday
night. The fire broke out at 11:45 p. m.
For while it looked as though
the building could be saved as only
smoke could be seen. But before the
firemen could locate the source the
roof was all ablaze. The main part
of the depot was burned to the.
ground, but the baggage and express
room was saved. The cause of the
fire is unknown A passenger car
is now being used as depot.
The dimensions of this depot which
was built in 1923 was 24x110 feet.
1t was frame building and cost ap-
proximately $4,000. The loss is about
$4,000. H. A. Johnson is the station
agent.
Plans are on foot to rebuild imme-
diately as it was before, and it is
thought that the building will be up
again in few weeks.

Hello, Stockholm!
A telephone conversation between
New York and Stockholm, Sweden,
took place the other day via the long
est overland wire in Europe, the line
extending from the transatlantic ter
minal in London, through Amster-

reported that the conversation went
through without serious bitches, and
plans are now on foot to make this
telephone service regular, and avail

rather high.

States in response to an invitation to
occupy the chair of forestry at the
New York State College of Forestry,
Syracuse University, Syracuse, N. Y,
during the temporary absence of the
regular occupant of this chair, Prof
G. Stephen. A couple of years ago
Mr.. Heiberg attracted international
attention by making a motorcycle

Morse Art School.
Ole Sannem, a Norwegian painter
in Chicago, is at the head of move
.ment aiming at the establishing of a
Norwegian art school in that city.
Mr. Sannem's own pictures have long
ago been recognized in this country
as we'll as in Europe, and he is said
to be an authority in the field of
modern landscape painting. Inves-
tigation has shown that much DORM
ant talent can be found among the
Chicago Norwegians, and the school,
now contemplated, is to develop this
and attempt to make artists of ANA
teurs. In the beginning, the school
will confine itself to painting, but
later it is planned to include sculp-
ture in the curriculum.

Washington, December 7th.-With
the political and social life in Wash
ington is at a high tide. The Pres
| ident has sent two messages to Con-
gress, read speech at the dedica-
ton of a memorial stone in the
Washington Monument and delivered
message of high political import
before the Republican National Com
mittee, in addition to starting the
social whirl with a dinner to the
Cabinet and a few luncheons with
party leaders.
With all of the Juror Incidental to
the official opening no one has had
the time to carefully analyze the
of affairs at the Capitol. With Re-
publican leaders assembled here this
week for conferences having in mind
the 1928 Presidential campaign,
many observers feel that pre-conven-
| ton activities have been officially
launched. 1t is expected that the
| various candidates for the Presiden-
tial nomination, especially among
the Republican ranks, will openly an
nounce their ambitions
In this connection it is interesting
to note that G. o. p. leaders have
gathered the impression that Secre-
tary of the Treasury Mellon, rec
ognized power in Pennsylvania poll
tics and having considerable influ-
ence elsewhere, is opposed to the
candidacy of his fellow Cabinet men,
Der, Secretary Hoover. 1t is said
that this development has much to
do with the selection of convention
city. Politicians have claimed that
the geographical location of a con-
vention has considerable influence
with Presidential candidates and
their chances.
Speculation now centers on the real
meaning of the Presidents speech
before the Republican leaders in
which he became unusually compli-
mentary to William M. Butler, his
campaign manager. Some felt that
he was paving the way for MIR. But
Ter to make a graceful exit from &C
tive participation in party affairs
while others insisted that Mr.. Cool
idge indicated he wanted Mr.. Butler
at the helm as his personal repre-
sentative. Some of the old-timers
were resentful that the President re-
ferred to the economies in conduct
ing the 1924 campaign as against
other Presidential election expenses.
1t is likewise declared that few of
the leaders are not so enthusiastic
about drafting Mr.. Coolidge for the
Presidency.
There is some doubt as to whether
the President made grand stand play
to the public or showed bad temper
| in taking slap at business organi-
cations in his annual message to
Congress. Regardless of the real
intent the leaders charged with the

Friday evening. The girls lost by a
one-sided score, while the boys were
defeated in tight game by the score

game was tied at three different
times and it was only through SEN
sational long shots by Malmberg for
Lindstrom that the game was won by

Lindstrom's score was swelled by IS
points. He made five baskets and
eight free throws as his share of the

NEWS AMONG SCANDINAVIANS

Following the example of other
great industries, the dairy industry
last week chose a "czar" to direct
its activities. DR.. C. w. Larsen
a Dane-chief of the bureau of dairy
industry, United States department OF
agriculture, was named as chief ex-
ecutive at the National Dairy coun-
Gil, Palmer House, Chicago. In an
nouncing DR.. Larsen's appointment,
President NJ D. Mum said: develop
ment of the $4,000, 100000 dairy in
dustry has made it necessary to in
crease the executive force of the
Council" 1t was pointed out that
DIR. Larsen was chiefly responsible
for the establishment of the federal
bureau of dairy industry some three
years ago.
DIR. NanSen HOnOred
Acting upon instructions of the
United States government, Minister
L. S. Swenson recently handed to DR..
Fridtjof hansen at the American le-
cation i'm Oslo, Norway, the medal
of the The Explorers club of New
York, with the following inscription:
ITO Fridtjof hansen. BY steadfast
devotion to scholarly aims he gave
Arctic exploration definite scientific
form and purpose In recent years
DIR. hansen has not been actively en-
gagged in Arctic exploration but has
served his country as one of its: fore
most diplomats, and the rest of the
world as leader of European relief
work.
Going to Stockholm.
Arthur H. Compton, professor at
the University of Chicago, has left
for Sweden where he, at gathering
in Stockholm, will receive the Nobel
prize for physics on Saturday of this
week. In the Swedish capital Prof
fessor Compton will deliver the Nobel
lecture on "X-Ray as Branch OF
Optics", his researches having shown
that the X-ray is similar to light.
His findings are said to make the
hitherto accepted theories of wave
lengths only partially true. On his
trip to Sweden DIR. Compton is &C
companied by his wife.
Contract Signed.
A contract has now been signed
between Carl Alstrup, Danish actor,
Viggo Jensen, Danish civil engineer,
and the American Fox Film corpor-
alton covering the sale of American
rights to the invention made by the
Danes of the socalled Spectral Film"
which, it is claimed, is capable of
reproducing exactly all natural col
ors. The amount involved in the
transaction is said to be very large,
but details concerning this point
have been withheld.
Fiftieth Anniversary.
Rev. E. Sverdrup Sundt, Norwegian
Baptist minister in Winnipeg, Man.,
last week celebrated his fiftieth an
niversary as an ordained minister.
He was born in SEMEN, northern
Norway, in 1855, and came to the
United States while a young man.

responsibilities of raising campaign
funds and putting over winning
ticket are frankly worried. Mr..
Coolidge has had some differences
with the National Chamber of Com
merce regarding the amount of tax
reduction, and has been particularly
bitter in his attack against those who
offered tax reduction suggestions at
variance with his own pet ideas. He
against accepting suggestions from
organized tax payers.
The report is current here that Mr..
Coolidge is becoming unusually SEN
sitive to criticism. In the early
days of his Administration he was
noted for the calm way in which he
with-stood the changing whims of
opinion, but it is said nowadays he
makes his opposition known in no
uncertain terms.
Congressional leaders are having
their troubles perfecting the organi-
cation of the Senate and House. They
find that leadership is very difficult
when the main spring of action
seems to be political opportunism.
The official stenographers at the
Capitol are the hardest working men
in Washington today. The Senators
and Representatives are unloading
their political speeches for publica-
ton in the Congressional Record.
The vacation of nearly ten months
afforded the Legislators time to pre-
pare speeches on every known sub
ject for delivery whenever they can
obtain the Floor or permission to
print in instances where they are
doubtful of their oratorical ability.
The Senate is prepared to listen or
read long speeches on states rights,
constitutional law and election
frauds. The contest over the seat
ing of Senator-elect Ware of Pennsyl-
vania and Smith of Illinois provides
the loop-hole for evading action on
important legislation by long de-
bate.
An idea of the money necessary to
run the Federal Government may be
CLEANED from the budget message of
the President presented to Congress
Tuesday. The budget officials have
estimated the expenditure for 1929
in excess of s3,S49, 100000, including
nothing for flood control with the
exception of the five year allowance
of $10,000,0O0 in the six year program
authorized by Congress. These es-
Inmates do not include proposed ma
jor projects which may be subject
to legislation in the next Congress.
The President has made it clear that
he intends to stand firm for the tax
reduction of $225 100000 as a max
imum. The President has been adj
vised that the receipts of the Federal
Government will reach more than
$4,000,000,000, leaving an estimated
surplus of $454,2S3, S06.

FIFTY YEARS OF
PARTNERSHIP
Mr.. and Mrs. William De-
Maris, Living Near Bru-
no, Celebrated Golden
w e. ding Anniversary
on Friday, Dec. 2.

The golden wedding anniversary of
Mr.. and Mrs William DeMaris who
reside southeast of Bruno, was de-
celebrated on Friday even
ing, Dec. End, in the Bruno school.
Apparently, the unusually cold
weather and bad roads kept many
from coming, yet a goodly num-
Der of friends and neighbors were
present to pay their profound respect
and extend congratulations to Mr.. and
Mrs. DeMaris.
The following program was given
in their honor: Violin selection, by
Miss Saastad, accompanied on the
piano by Hattie Skinner; reading,
''That Old Sweetheart of Nine, Mrs.
Ed Domnnng; vocal solo, "Silver
Threads among the Cold, Mrs. Fill
linger; poetical composition, E. w.
accordion selections, Mr.
Johnson; ceremony and a short COM
address by Rev. Fillinger
After this congratulations were ex-
tended and a purse of $31.70 pre-
sented to the honored guests. The
entire community joins together in
wishing Mr.. and Mrs. DeMaris many
more happy days of welded life.
Those who attended the celebration
from out of town were: Mr.. and Mrs.
C. M. Beeson and son, Merle, of
Breckenridge; Mrs. H. J. Moorhouse
of Superior; and Mr.. and Mrs. Lloyd
Seger of Duluth.
Mr.. and Mrs. DeMaris wish to ex-
press gratitude for the offerings so
kindly given by friends and neigh
bors on the golden wedding anniver-
sary.
(This is the poem written in honor
OF Mr.. and Mrs. William DeMaris on
E. w. Adams of Bruno and read at the
celebration.)
Fifty years of welded life,
Years of toll of joy of strife.
Fifty years with much of gladness.
Years when they knew pain and sad
ness;
And as backward now we look,
Years are pages of life's book.
Half a century ago
Ihey were pledged for veal or woe;
Few, perhaps can now remember
Back to that day in December
When they started in this life,
He as husband. she as wife.
Time since then great change has
wrought,
Change in manner. deed and thought.
From the SLOW drawn oxen team
To our swift flying machine;
From their flat boats on the river
To our modern horSeleSS "flivVer".
As their burdens here they bore.
Some twelve presidents or more
Have been leading this great nation
Through its strife and tribulatiOn,
And son helped to restore
Peace. in this our greatest war.
We will give our worthy neigh bors
Credit, for their plans and laborS,
For "A strong and sturdy hand
That has cleared and titled the land.
And in doing their full duty
Made home of joy and beauty.
What more tribute can we pay,
To this couple. than to say:
That among these wedding bowers
Their great happiness is ours:
And we'll add as friend to friend
May your blessings never end.
Groom and bride we end with this
wishing you more years of bliss,
Hoping that no pain or sorrow
May befall. in your tomorrow.
With one accord. one voice we raise
In wishing more such wedding days.

DEMURRER NOT
SUSTAINED BY
COURT RULING
Judge Reed Says Wicker
sham Complaint Is Sound
Case to Be Tried

In an oral ruling delivered from
the bench this morning, Judge
T. NJ. Reed oyer-ruled the general
demurrer filed by Attorney Gen
eral Rustgard to the latest com
plant in the Wickersham cases
against Walstein G. Smith, Ter
ritorial Treasurer. The Treasurer
was given 20 days in which to
file an answer to the complaint.
The demu rrer was general in its
nature, alleging that the complaint
filed on June 20. last, by Judge
Wickersham for himself, Eugene
Wacker and d. w. Hiskins, Ket-
chikan residents, did not contain
facts sufficient to base an action
against the Territorial Treasurer.
The suit was begun on June 30,
few days after Judge Wicker
sham had Withdrawn a largely
similar action. The demurrer was
filed July l, and arguments were
heard twelve days later. The main
question argued was the right of
individual taxpayers to institute
such actions. In overruling the
demurrer today Judge Reed held
that the complaint was legally
sound. This, in effect. clears the
way for eventual trial OF the case
on its merits after further plead
ings are filed.
Ffye items of the general ap-
preparation measure passed by the
late Alaska legislature are attack
ed in the present action. All of
them are in the section covering
the office of Governor. and include
items for additional salary fo-
