accompanying "reminiscences, printed
in the St. Paul Pioneer Press, is the
mother of Howard P. Sanders of Red
wood Falls. She went to st. Paul as
a young child in the fifties, in the
care of her grandparents, Mr.. and
Mrs. William Martin, who left Jeffer-
son county, New York, to make their
home there. Travelling from La
Crosse in the old river steamer, the
Fire Canoe, of which her father was
captain, Mrs. Sanders remembers the
landing at Carver's cave at the foot
of Daytons Bluff, and the establish
ment of pioneer home next to the
house occupied by the Dayton family,
for whom the region was named.
In recent years Mrs. Sanders has
made her home in Columbus, Ohio,
where her daughter, Mrs. Edgar
Lewis, lives. But she makes frequent
visits to st. Paul, and is spending the
summer at the Angus.

Curious and forever unexplainable
the action of the human mind! How
some word, some simple expression,
possibly entirely irrelevant, will start
train of old memories not dwelt
upon in many years. Those little pic
ture films, stored away, unroll and
unroll until flood of old scenes, old
acts, come rolling up in ones mind,
vivid and clear as if all had occurred
only yesterday.
The little German maid who cares
for my room remarked this morning,

stantly the picture of little dark
eyed girl, sitting or rather crouching
in her uncle's lap, head under his
arm, suffering all the nervous torture
of one of Minnesota's electrical ex-
hibits, than which I know of none
more capable.
Memory films unrolling rapidly
now. There is the old stone trading
post next door with it's blankets and
beads and bright ribbons and calicos,
so wonderful to the childish mind, and
the tall dark figures of the Chippewa
Indians slipping silently in and out,
and the day oh, that never to be for
gotten day!-when old Hole-In-The-
Days son borrowed me to take up to
his tepee to show to his wives. Little
white children were rather curiosity
then and how he pointed to my
trembling grandmother, explaining
that when the sun was in such place
he would bring me back.
Good Time With Indians
True to his word, he did so, but
dear old New England grandmother
what day for her. Adamant in cour-
age, marvellous in endurance, wonder.
full in efficiency, she used to recall
that day as one of the longest anc
most trying of her life. My only
memory of it is that l had a very
good time indeed, sitting on a log
watching an old squaw stir something
in an iron pot and being surrounded
by and chartered to by the younger
squaws and children in the Chippews
language.
Picture after picture came rolling
up that morning of that old pioneer
time. The bees had an aperture II
the attic of that same trading post
and from time to time stories were
told Of a great mine of honey stored
there. No one had ever summoned
the courage to get it. I remember
quite well the excitement and aston
ishment when my grandmother re.

Sell Floating Power
To French Auto Man

Andre Citroen. frequently referred
10 as the Henry Ford OF France. has
secured license to use the 'Float-
ing Power method of engine mount
ing. according to the M. B. Gilman
company, local distributors of Ply
mouth and Dodge.
Announcement was broadcast in
Paris that all Citroen cars now are
fitted with the trunnion type, rub
ber- cushioned engine support, accord
ing to the license granted Citroen.
Arrangements to this effect were con-
summated some time ago, but the in
PRODUCTION of the new system in Eur
ope was held back until existing stocks
of cars were sold.
The license applies not only to cars
built in France but also to those as
sembled at Citroen's foreign branches.
This type of floating power is used in
Dodge Brothers and Plymouth cars
according to M. B. Gilman.

SUGGESTIONS ON SAVING

Editor. Tribune:
/ Reading the article Of Mr.. Meye.
OF Baldwin, Let the People Rule" il,
in the open forum. saying that his
township had made big cut in the
expense IN both salaries and road
work, wish to say our township did
likewise this year to the tune Of about
% per cent. However We did not cut
out the road work because we need
roads in the rural districts to get in
and out as much or more SO than thev
do on these state highways and Vie
do not volunteer any work free OF
charge as long as they are spending
millions On these tourists roads for
both road work and bridges each year
| to contractors. In some instances it
looks like extravaganza and excessive.
At our town meeting someone asked
me if the bonding Of the township
officers is not too high. The premium
on state bonds amounted to $40 or
s25 for the treasurer, clerk and as
SCISSOR for a surety Of $4,000. Or about
as high as old line life or five in
surance We have never heard OF n
town or school officer skipping out
and this department paying loss. For
this reason there must be big &C
cumulation OF moneys in the state
bonding department from all town,
school, county and state officers. That
seems like an excessive drain from
those funds. Will the state bonding
department please advise through the
columns Of this paper?
We have also another drain from
the school funds each wear. The work.
mems compensation bureau takes a
toll from these funds. for what
know not. but I have yet to see where
our school has ever received any BEN
eft for any moneys SO paid out what
soever. And there is still anothe,
drain from the school funds. The
teachers insurance and retirement
toll. This is also compulsory same as
the Workmen's compensatory. A
teacher must pay a certain per cent
of her salary each month which the
school clerk holds cut no matter If
the teacher wants it or not. II
teacher does not teach Is years she
never hears OF this money so PAID out.
This law makes for higher wages for
teachers which comes indirectly from
taxation.
Then there is another drain from
the school funds: The county directors
meetings each year where the whole
school board. including the clerk, car
attend and come home after singing
few songs and collect $500 each. 1t
seems one representative from each
school district ought to be enough for
these meetings. Here Is something
the taxpayers should look into before
closing any common schools and re-
curing children to travel from four to
six miles to school house In the
cold.

Commission Hearing
Sugar Tariff Fight

Washington, April 12.-P)-Opposi-
ton to an increase in the tariff on re-
fined sugar was marshalled before the
tariff commission Wednesday by
American importers of Cuban refined
sugar and Cuban growers and re-
finerS.
Their main contention was an in
crease would add from $70,000,0 900 to
Sl00,0O0.000 to the American sugar
bill, and that American refiners now
are making a substantial profit while
Cuban producers of the raw material
are suffering losses.
American refiners. cane and beet
growers Tuesday asked the commits
sion to recommend higher rate in
asmuch as Cuban refiners could ship
into the United States by paying a
duty of $2.12 while they must pay
S214 on each lot pounds Of the raw
product required to produce 100
pounds of refined sugar. They also
testified Cuban interests enjoyed
cheaper freight rates to important
consuming points.

Editor, Tribune:
Referring to your editorial OF April
1st, Our Kaleidoscope Politics" In
regards to our economic unrest we
farmers have been up against that SO
long we are getting used to it. The
City People did not stretch out their
hands to help us Now. when this eco

to be, it is different thing. No

the insults heaped on to them by the
city people and the poison spread to

No. the farmers have not forgotten

wives and children have not forgotten

No, we have not forgotten. and
neither are we going to forget the
traitors in our own ranks when cleo

The farmers voted for the reten-

The Bank Of North Dakota could be
