No recent administration has been SO

If the farm relief could be passed
within the next few days, it would
prevent the outbreak of sectional diff

from the city districts are sympa-

opposition to legislation designed to
help the farmer in his struggle for
legislative equality. With certain
farm groups manifesting desire for

an improved market system there is
strong possibility that a reaction
may set in against the entire farm

TRAIN CRASH
KILLS COUPLE
Denham Farmer and Wife
Loose Their Lives at
Willow River.

A railroad crossing at Willow River
day afternoon which proved fatal to
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. o. Anderson of near
Denham.
Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson had been
shopping at Willow River and upon
leaving for home in their Ford sedan,
were caught on the crossing at the
outskirts of that village, by a south
bound N. P. passenger train, with the
result that Mr.. Anderson was instant
ly killed, his wife fatally injured, and
the car in which they were riding was
completely demolished.
Mrs. Anderson received first aid by
DR.. w. c. Ehmke of Willow River,
after which she was rushed to the
Sandstone hospital, where she under
went futile medical care and where
she died the following morning at GAO
O'Clock.
The couple made their home on
their farm about ten miles west of
Willow River and were in the best
years of life, being approximately 80
and 35 years of age respectively. They
were the parents of four children,
ranging in ages from-3 to IL years,
who survive them.
Although it will never be definitely
known as to the exact cause of the ac-
cident, it is presumed that Mr.. Ander-
son, who was driving the car, drove
onto the track before he saw the ap-
preaching train and in the excitement
stalled the car. His body was found
several rods from the place of the

The committee chosen at Sandstone
few weeks ago by County Agent w.
+. Hammargren to look into the mat
ter of the proposed federal forest re-
serve in Pine county, met at the Wilma
town hall Friday evening and dis
cussed the matter further. The SEN
timent was strong against the reserve,
and if the farmers have their way it
appears that there will be no eX-
tensive federal forest reserve in this
county.
Mr.. Hammargren, who has taken a
leading part in promoting these meet
ings, opened the meeting Friday eve
ming and was chosen chairman. Coun-
ty Auditor Andrew P. Edin was Sc
lected as secretary.
Views are Aired.
Nearly all present had their say and
the remarks in substance are here
given.
]. D. Johnson of Nickerson, said
that their township would like to be
out of the reserve.
R. ]. Shute, Wilma, said that it is
proposed to have one tier of sections
six-frOm Wilma township in the re-
serve, but at recent meeting of the
Farm Bureau unit there the sentiment
was expressed that they would like
to be out of it entirely.
Ivan R. Krouch, Keene, told the
meeting that he had observed only one
settler in his township that wanted
to be in the reserve.
Nels Berg, Park: No meeting has
been held in Park, but the general
sentiment seems to be against it.
e. It. Hogan, Belden, expressed him
self in favor of the reserve if tax de-
linquency and Indebtedness can be
taken care of.
$4,000 Acres Offered for Sale.
Mr. Wally from the federal for
est reserve offices at Duluth, explain
ed that they now have informal pro-
posals from individual owners of land
for the sale of $4,000 acres for the
reserve, adding that the total acreage
in the unit should be 1000.
At this point A. NJ. Dougan of Bruno,
asked several questions.

PINE CITY SCOUTS
PLAN REAL TRIP
Troop Will Invade the North Woods
to Canadian Line.-Will
Camp and Cook.

The Pine City boy scouts have re-
are already planning on summer
outing. d. w. Thompson has been ap-
pointed scoutmaster and under his
leadership the boys, some fifteen or
twenty in number, will leave Pine City
on June third and travel north to
Grand Marais. From that point they
will hit the trail north to Gun Flint
Lodge on Gun Flint lake, which is
located on the Canadian border. Later
they will cross over to Sea Gull lake
on the Canadian side.
This is to be a real scout trip says
ScOutmaster Thompson and no bread
and jam" affair. The boys will sleep
out eat plain food, and do all their
own cooking for the period of ten
days. A truck from the Eastern Min
nesota Power Corporation will take
the boys and their equipment to the
jumping off place and then return to
Pine City. After the ten day period
is up, the truck will again go north
to bring the scouts back. The north
wood offers a very good field for
scouting and the troop will undoubt-
eddy profit from their experience.
The Pine City troop which is con-
nected with the Duluth Area Council
is sponsored by the Leon Heath Post of
the American Legion and the members
of the Legion's committee having this
in charge are M. B. Hurley, d. r..
and DR.. James Slaven. About twenty
four scouts are enrolled in the troop
at the present time.
