0LD TIMBER CUTTING
 HINTS AT ANTIQUITY

Why should a man fell tree two and a half feet in diameter in the center of a valley, five miles from the shore line, and this with an axe and leave no other mark to dis turb the virginity of the forest?
 This puzzle confronted moose hunters few days ago while they fought their way through tangled alders, devils clubs and decaying deadfallS.
 The find was made on the left fork of a creek mile beyond the terminus of the Nash road. From the fallen tree cut approximately 40 feet in length had been taken. The stump was routed to the ground and the fragment of the unused portion fell way at the touch.
 Conclusions drawn are to the ef- feet that the early Russian sought sizeable stick of timber It was not to be found in the forest then possibly boasting growth only suit
 able for cabin poles or cross ties. Search for evidence of blazing or
 trail cutting failed to reveal a
 scratch or stump. That the cut
 has great antiquity is evidenced
 by the fact that the decayed end of the tree lies between two trees each of which are more than a foot in diameter, with limbs growing over the fallen monarch, and minus [ any marks of contact such as would have been caused if large tree had been dropped between them. A curve in one of the trees and the position of it's roots indicate that it was a mere Sapling when the chopper dropped his tree in it's present position.
 There are thousand trees of equal diane ter and perfection miles nearer Seward than the one |cut. To get such a stick of timber out of the woods would require much slashing, even if attempted on the snow.

HIT AND RUN DRIVER FLOWS THRU CROWD IF
 YOUTHS, ONE KILLED

SAN MATED, Oct. 5. (P- One youth is dead, his sweetheart is per- haps fatally injured, and three other young men are painfully hurt as the result of what police declare is one of the most heartless and brutal cases of hit and run driving on record in these parts.
 The crash occurred when party of motorcyclists had halted on the Bayshore highway while one of their number fixed his machine. Two speeding automobiles plowed through the crowd and kept going.
 The dead youth is Clyde McGov- ern, nephew of Coroner J. c. Me- Govern of San Mateo county and also of Supervisor Frank J. McGov- ern of San Francisco. The others injured are Ray Eddy, Elmer Shee- han and Hal Dahlen, all of San Francisco.

Congress Should Stand Pat
(Fargo Forum)

(FarRO FOrum)
Notwithstanding we regret that North Dakota is to
lose one congressman asa result OF the reapportlonrnent
of the House of Representatives as based on the 1880
proposals being made ii: Congress to alter the situation.
One of these proposals is the attempt being made to
persuade Congress to submit to the states an amend
ment to the Constitution eliminating aliens from the
basis of representation, and the other is the Ihurston
bill for increasing the membership by forty.
In relation to the first proposal, we do not believe
the exclusion of aliens in consideration of the basis of
representation would be sound procedure for the very
reason that they are taxed and have interests which
are entitled to representation in the enactment of laws.
Even in discussing the matter, Congress is taking up
good time in tanning the air, for there is not a chance
that it would 60 through. If Congress should be i'm
there would be enough states opposed to defeat it.
As to the Thurston bill, it will be recalled when the
last reapportionment was made, it was generally agreed
that a House of 435 members was as large as the
country ought to have. In 1920, Congress avoided re-
apportionment because states which stood to lose repre-
~sentation objected, and it was again agreed that it
would not be wise to increase the membership. But
reapportionment, under the Constitution, had to come,
and is now to be made.
The agreement of twenty years ago that the member
ship OF the House was as large as it should be is just
as pertinent today as then. If the bars should be let
down and membership increased, 1t would not be many
ship would be made. The best thing for Congress to
do is to stand pat on the reapportionment as ordered.
The Philadelphia Public Ledger, published in a state
which will also lose representation under the reappor-
tionment, hits the nail squarelv on the head when it
says: mo state has just cause for complaint, since
under the new redistribution it's representation will be
proportioned to its actual population"

Reckless Shooting
Duluth Herald)

NOu1Utu x1CIdIOJ
The killing of Gust Wirkkula by Federal officers
near the international border about a year ago on sus-
picion Of smuggling liquor is recalled in a recent news
story from Sherburne county. Apparently only good
luck prevented a similar tragedy.
The other night J. W.. Grotberg, a North Dakota man,
accompanied by his wife and baby was driving through
Sherburne county on his way home from a visit in this
state. Suddenly two men confronted his car in the
road and, flashing lights, ordered him to stop, shouting
they were deputy sheriffs. Fearing a hold-up, Grotberg
put on speed and raced for the next town. The men
in another car followed and fired several shots, two OF
them hitting the car, but Grotberg managed to reach
town before his pursuers caught up with him. They
then searched his car without finding anything and re-
leased him.
When the man protested against the treatment re-
ceived and demanded to know who would pay for the
damage the bullets did to his car, the officers are re
ported to have said: you're out Of luck; we're deputy
~sheriffs."
Probably he is out of luck, but it is a contemplate
and unnecessary method Of law enforcement. A man
driving a car on a lonely road at night has a right to
suspect a criminal intent when strangers without uni
forms demand that he stop.
The sheriff of Sherburne county should instruct his
deputies that a policemans star does not confer the
right to such careless and dangerous use Of firearms
on the bare suspicion that an unknown traveller is a
criminal.

W.
cleaner and more comfortable than the native jungle
shacks-but somehow they weren't 20 honelike.
So the natives simply quit work; and now it is even
intimated that Mr.. Ford may have to give up his entire
scheme for a great Brazilian rubber plantation.
All Of this Is very unfortunate, and Mr.. Ford deserves
a lot of sympathy. Nevertheless, 1t is hard to keep from
having a sneaking little fellow-feeling. for these half
wild Brazilians who refuse SO s%tubbornly to become
civilized. For while life in the Brazilian jungle is not
much better than out-and-out barbarism, it has q good
deal to recommend it-just as life in the industrial sec
ton Of any big American city has plenty of drawbacks.
For progress, as we understand the term, sometimes
brings with 1t disadvantages that come close to counter
balancing its good points. The chap in the Brazilian
Wild may not have the advantage Of a radio set in his
hut, but neither does he know the rigors Of chronological
unemployment. He may not have a dime in the bank,
but the cornet player next door does not spoil his sleep
at night. He may not have a good doctor within a thou
sand miles, but he Is in no danger Of seeing his children
run down by automobiles when they 60 out to play.
We always take it for granted that the advantages Of
the industrial regime outweigh its defects. But in the
jungles Of the Amazon, apparently, the contrary view is
held: and it is very probable that the growing industrial
ization Of the world will bump into this sort OF resistance
more than once In the near future. And that may be
a good thing for us; for it may set us to asking questions
ourselves, and so lead us to remove a few Of the i'm
per~fections from a system that is very Tar from perlect.
