deliberately set out a plan to adjust
government affairs without resorting
to legislation. This policy is Observ-
able in the creation of commissions
and conferences, a method which Mr.
Hoover developed successfully in re-
building the Department of Commerce
under two preceding administrations.
Instead of asking for Congressional
committees to study important ques-
lions, Mr.. Hoover has called confer
ences of state governors in problems
of oil conservation and production, ap-
pointed the Law Enforcement Com
mission, organized various inter-de-
partmental committees of aeronautics,
ship sales, mail contracts, etc. The
Federal Farm Loan Board, created by
Congress recently, is by far the most
powerful governmental agency report
ing directly to the President The
activities of this board, it is believed,
will have much to do with the politi-
cal future of the present occupant of
the White House.
A hint of what is to come when the

Washington, July 3-After the be-
stowal of great powers on the Presi-
dent, making him unquestionably the
most powerful of any executive or
monarch the Congress is awaiting de-
velopments. Since the war required
Congressional authorization to in
crease the powers of the Chief EX-
ecutive there has been strong tend
ency on the part of the legislative
branch to shift the burdens of govern
ment to the administration. The mo-
tive for this generosity is solely po-
litical as the legislators jealousy
guard their basic prerogatives. In a
nut shell the legislation giving the
Chief Executive the sole responsibility
is predicated on the idea that if the
projects fail the fault may be at
tributed to poor administrators, while
the credit for success may be equal
ly divided between the Executive and
Congress.
1t may be said that the President
is conscious of the motivating forces
which add to the burdens of his office.
Mr.. Hoover has a few ideas of his
own which he is carrying. out in the
same spirit that has characterized the
Congressional gifts. In time Congress
may find that the tables have been
turned, in that the President has not
only accepted the increased power
that Congress authorized, but has

BANK CAPITAL
IS INCREASED
First State Bank of ASkOv
Now Has Capital of
$15,0O0.0O.
The Surplus and Undivided
Profits are S2O,OOO.OO.
More Stockholders.

The First State Bank of Askov,
which has been going along smoothly
for IS years since its organization in
1911 and made steady progress right
along has been further strengthened
by the issuing of $4,000 worth of add
ditional capital stock, which took eff
feet July 1, 1929.
The new stockholders are Jens Mel
sen of Askov, who is we'll known for
his invention of the Viking pump,
manufactured at Cedar Falls, Iowa;
Robert Petersen, a contractor at Phil
adelphia, Pa, and brother of the
cashier; and Martin Gravesen, a farm
er at Newell, Iowa, and a brother of
A. Gravesen, the man who organized
the bank in 1911 and has been its
head ever since. A. Gravesen has
been chosen president of the bank in
place of the late L. c. Petersen who
was president for nearly IS years;
Jens Nielsen is vice president and ".
S. Petersen, cashier.
Up to this time the capital stock
has been $4,000. With the additional
$4,000 makes it $4,000 and with a
surplus and undivided profit of $780,
600 on July LIST the bank has the neat
working capital of $4,000, making it
one of the strongest banks in the coun-
ty. Through the lean years after
1920 when many banks out over the
country tOttered the First State Bank
of Askov weathered the storm in good
shape and now with the additional
capital stock and men of considerable
finances back of it, the institution is
stronger than ever and is in excellent
shape to look after the financial needs
of the vicinity.

"RUBE" WALBERG
GOING STRONG

"Rube" Walberg, Pine county's
product in the major baseball
leagues, is going stronger this
year than ever before and up to
the present time he has turned
II victories against defeats for
his team, the Philadelphia Ath-
letics.
Walberg's delight, it seems is to
take his spite out on the New
York Yankees and he has done it
twice this season and much to the
expense of Babe Ruth and Gehrig.
His eleventh victory came Tues
day when he let the Washington
Senators down with seven hits to
break the slight losing slump his
team had gotten into the past two
or three days.

RUINED CABIN DISCOVERED AT
 LAKE DOROTHY
Signs of Prospecting Found in Vicinity of New
 Lake on Taku

Discovery of a ruined cabin near the shores of Lake Dorothy, and indications of activities along the ridges nearby indicated that a past generation of prospectors knew of that body of water This was made known today by A. J. Ella, engineer in charge of the waterpower de- velopment program of the Cam -Chandlar interests.
 He has just returned from an initial survey of the lake and drain age area. While he has not com piled his field notes, and, therefore, is still without absolute figures, he said that the power sources there were apparently as favorable as the aerial survey had indicated.
 Lake Is Deep
 : The lakes depth still remains un- known. With line PTS feet long MT. Fla undertook to make some soundings. His line, however was too short, as he found bottom at no point in the lake The surface area is being 800 and goo acres, and the drainage area sufficiently large for all purposes.
 Stream flow investigations will be necessary before a final determ- ination is reached as to the avail ability of the lake for power de- veloprnent for the California syndi- cate. A guage station has been , installed by Wendell Dawson on the creek at the beach. A measurement section was also put in by him about one and one-quarter miles above the creek mouth.
 Finds Old Cabin
 In his survey of the surround ! ing land area, MT. Ella discovered an old prospectors' cabin near the lower lake on the outlet creek. It was apparently about 20 years old. He discovered traces of prospecting work in a ravine leading into the lower lake. A trail, in fairly good shape, was also found leading from the cabin down toward the beach. Log ladders used in negotiating cliffs along the route are still in place. The logs were from IS in- ches to two feet. in diameter and had steps notched in them. MT. Ella and his party used the trail and ladders which are still sound and firmly in place.
 The basin is heavily populated with mountain goats. Evidences of hunting parties were found. Under big flat rock campfire debris was found, probably five years old, and on the ridges above Lake Dorothy discharged rifle cartridges were picked up.
 Many mountain goats were seen

 All of the equipment except the ball mill is on the ground, MT Pekovich said. This was shipped from New York August 6, and should arrive from Seattle on one of the first steamers north. The foundations for it are all prepared and it will not take long to put it into operation condition.
 The flotation plant is all ready to be connected up with line shaft. The power plant has been completed, new diesel engines be- ing installed. The tramway is prac- tically finished.
 Percy Wright, Tacoma engineer, and Mrs. Wright left. here early Monday for the plant. He will have charge of final installation of milling equipment and be in charge of test runs of ore frorn the mine.
