TRADERS. TRAPPERS NEED PROTECTION
 TOO, SAYS WICK
ALASKA DELEGATE WRITES A STRONG LETTER SUPPORT
 TING APPEALS

AS an example of the close touch and bending of every ef- fort toward assisting Alaska and it's citizens, the following letter, which is self explanatory, is but one Delegate James Wickersham has written. Alaskans will read it with interest:
 Hon. Frederic c. Wolcott, Chrn.
 Special Committee on Wild
 Resources,
 United States Senate.
 My Dear Senator: ident in Alaska, engaged i'll the proposed visit of your committee to Alaska this summer, and I am sure you will be quite as much in- terested in the human side of the subject as you will in the animal side. While preparing to protect the wild animals hope you will not forget that many of them are fur bearers and that our trap pers and hunters are intimately connected with the subject and just now need some protection, also.
 Tn the annual Report of the Governor of Alaska, 1880, a copy of which I enclose for your in- formaton, at page II, you will note that about 5000 persons, res ident n Alaska, engaged in the fur trade in that year. On page j73 you will note that the fur trade amounts to about four mil lion dollars per annum, not in- cluding fur seals from the Pribi- lof Islands. This trade is most important to Alaska, for these trappers are largely prospectors for minerals, and only use trap ping as a certain means of sup port while they prospect for min erals.
 Notwithstanding Congress has provided both the United States Biological Survey and the Alaska Game Commission with ample power to look after and protect the wild life and fur bearing ani- mals in Alaska, it has made but little provision for looking after and protecting the trappers and men engaged in the fur trade. While I am personally friendly to all the excellent officials in both the Biological Survey and the Alaska Game Commission, I am very much impressed by the com plaints which come to me that these official bodies do not give the Alaska trappers and fur buy eys the aid which these Alaskans deserve.
 Herewith I attach for your in. formation and as an example o1 just what I mean, a etter ad- dressed to me by H. w. Martin a merchant and fur buyer of To lovana, Alaska, dated March 30 1851, to which is attached a COD, {Piease turn to Page six)

Balkos Win Second.
Thirteenth Places at
State Husking Meet
Ted Leaves for Iowa to Train
for National Bout There
November 13

Ted Balko, Redwood Falls, state
husking champion of last year and
third place winner in the national
meet, won second place in the state
contest conducted on the o. Kummrow
farm at Ceylon before a crowd of
1000 Thursday.
Balko husked more pounds of corn
than Bert Hanson, first place winner,
but gleanings and husks cut his load
to below the champions number of
bushels. Jay Johnson, Murray coun-
ty champion, husked the largest gross
load, but deductions cut his net load
to eleventh place.
Hanson of Nicollet county husked
a net load of 1856 pounds of 1914
bushels in 80 minutes. His load was
the cleanest husked by any of the rs
contestants and he left the fewest
ears in the field.
Balko husked 1925 pounds, after
deductions had been taken out, or 1873
bushels in the 80 minutes. Edward
Balko, county champion for this year,
placed thirteenth among the Is con-
testants.
Ted left Tuesday for Grundy Cent
er, Iowa, to train for the National
contest there Friday, November ID.
He entered the national contest last
year near Kansas City, Missouri, and
came home with third place.

Redwood again received, this time
on the Is yard line and the ball was
returned 10 yards. A side line pass
from Corbett to Finn was called
back, but Corbett made IL yards on
the next play. Redwood made four
first downs carrying the ball to the
four yard marker and Otto took it
over for six points as the quarter
ended. Corbett made the kick.
The second quarter opened with
Baikie kicking to Paulson on the 20
yard line. He made beautiful re-
turn to the Redwood 80 stripe. A
series of line plunges and end runs
brought the ball to the Is yard mark
er where Thompson took it over on q
triple pass play.
After receiving, Bailkie's kick was
partially blocked by a Monte man who
recovered on the IS yard line. An
derson threw q 20 yard pass to
Thompson who ran Is yards for .
touchdown. A substitute who was
rushed In to make the kick added the
extra point.

Airport Here Latest
Lions Club Project
Committee Named to Consider
Acquiring Property for
Use Next Year

Preliminary steps towards estab-
fishing an airport for Redwood Falls
were taken Monday noon when the
Lions club appointed committee to
investigate available property and re-
port on the expense necessary to
found port which would put the city
on the air map.
w. A. Brammer is chairman of the
committee which also includes DR.. j
w. Inglis and Sheriff L. j. Kise. They
are to report their findings and make
recommendations at the next meeting
of the club, November Is.
Jack Robinson, transport pilot who
has been giving lessons here this sum-
mer, was guest at the meeting and
told members air activities here will
cease next spring unless a field is
provided. The improvised field now
in use will be farmed next summer.
Three Pilots Here
He said the Edward O'Connor pro-
perty just east of the city on High
way No. Ia is available for port and
coGld be either leased or purchased at
a. reasonable price. After securing it
the field runways could be built and
the remainder of the property seeded
to alfalfa which would help defray the
expense.
Further revenue would be obtained
by charging pilots who own planes
here monthly fee for use of the
port. At the present time three men
are ready to take tests for licenses,
he said. They are Ross Brand, Will
bur Lamberton and Bert Crosby.
Robinson cited Fairmont as an ex-
ample of a city which has developed
air facilities in recent years. He
recommended an 80 acre field as most
satisfactory although 40 acres would
be practical if there were no hazards
such as trees or telegraph poles on
the borders. Several members spoke
in favor of port here.

He declared himself convinced of the
necessity of keeping our feet on the
ground in legislative matters espe-
cially at this term.

anniversary of the founding of the
Red Cross. Last years Roll Call re-
suited in nearly 1000 members for the
county chapter and 4,075,649 in the
United States and its insular posses
sions.
"This support from the people in
our territory enabled us to participate
in Red Cross work throughout the
country, and to conduct program of
service here. Red Cross chapters are
democratic in character. Membership
carries vote in chapter affairs, and
signifies personal participation in
local, national, and international serv-
ice. The history Of Roll Calls has
proved that joining the Red Cross is
highly regarded privilege"
Red Cross memberships are: An
nual 81, contributing S., sustaining
$40 and supporting $25. Only so
cents of each of these goes to support
the work done in the name of all
chapters by the National Organiza-
ton. The balance remains at home
for local service.
The anniversary is of tremendous
public significance throughout the
United States and the world, and has
already been the subject of congrat-
ulations from nearly every foreign
nation and comment by the press AMI
leading citizens and organizations OF
the whole country. We have ALREADY
been assured of the desire of our own
people and organizations, here, u
participate in making the Roll Gail
a success, as it undoubtedly will be.
The Red Cross presents an oppor-
tunity to participate in one of tn,
worlds most vital, important move
ments. There are compensations IL
being a member of the Red Cross be-
yond the mere satisfaction OF having
contributed financially.

Firemen Here Called
to Fire at Clements

The third disastrous fire reported
in Clements this year occurred Sun
day night when the l. E. Bunnell
home burned completely with all its
furnishings.
The fire was discovered by Gus
Backer who believed it started from
the kitchen range. After failing to
put out the flames he called the Red
wood Falls fire department at 1920 p,
m.
The fire had gained much Roadway
when the department arrived. A
neighbor contributed cistern-full of
water but the battle was given up
when the cistern was nearly empty.
The Bunnell family was attending
church in Redwood Falls and knew
nothing of the fire until they return
ed home. Mr.. Bynnell, a contractor,
said the house was fully insured.
