for both the Northwest company
and the Hudson's Bay company.
Besides this, Fort Doler had been
used by the Sclkirks for winter
quarters as far back as 1912.
There were certain very positive
advantages which this settlement
had over any north of the line. The
authority of the Hrdscn's Bay
company could not reach them here
and the prices Of American goods
were decidedly lower than those
that came in from the long round
about route to the English post Of
Fort Garry (Winnipeg).
In 1922 Fort Smelling, Mimi,
was completed and the Canadian
halfbrecd hunters began to drive
their cart trains across the prairie
southwark to this American fort,
where goods were cheap and fur
prices high. By 1923 the Hudson's
Bay company had abandoned its
fort at Pembina and Fort Garry
became the center of their trade in
the Red River Valley.

just Is minutes before Federal agents
arrived yesterday, the newspaper
says.
When the bank opened. the story
were waiting, and Immediately pre-
scented for payment a personal check
OF the comedian for $500, 900 1t was
paid without question.
The American says that a represent
alive of the Internal Revenue Bureau
indicated later in the day that some
action might be taken against the
bank on the grounds that the officials
knew of the impending lien. The bank.
however, denied that it had been in
formed of the proposed lien and said
even though it had known, it would
have been compelled to honor the
comedians check.
The liens are based upon alleged

The action was brought by Frank z
Bowers, collector of internal revenue

Conditions Satisfactory
 In the Hardware Trade

New York. Oct. 1S-With the movement of fall and winter mer- chandse getting into full swing. the hardware business is considered to be in satisfactory condition throughout the country, Hardware Age will say tomorrow in its weekly hardware market summary. The factors in business seem to be fair ly well balanced. The absence of inventory imitation leaves the funda- mental industrial situation sound. and most concerns are in a healthy financial position. The present ease of bank credit should operate as d stimulus 10 business.
 The construction industry and the agricultural outlook are both en- couraging. There is no definite in dication of any sharp change in business conditions in the hardware trade at present.
 Prices generally are steady and collections fair.>
