as thruout the Northwest, are grad
ually sinking to levels of extreme
privation due to the continued dis

the farmers by the government or

FIRE DAMAGES
TRADING POST
cOGSWELL STORE, OLDTOWN
PARTLY BURNED WEDNES-
DAY AFTERNOON

One of the Oldest landmarks in
this part of the state came near
to destruction Wednesday afternoon
when the old S. It. Cogswell store,
on the spot near the river where
Mr.. Cogswell conducted a trading
post business for nearly half a
century, was discovered to be on
fire. Since his death, on June 1T,
the store had not been operated
in a retail way and was locked on
the day of the fire.
The building is half a mile out
side the limits of the city water
system. The fire department was
compelled to fight with the lei
ical apparatus and what water
could be brought from town in a
tank wagon. The fire started in the
roll top desk in the little office
compartment, in a drawer STUFFED
with papers. Several people who
had had occasion to be around the
desk said it was infested by mice.
J.. M. Mus, manager of the Cogs-
well implement company, and in
charge Of the store before Mr..
Cogswell's death, said he knew
that matches, of the ordinary
scratch kind, had been kept in the
desk and had not to his knowledge
been removed. So mice and matches
form the only plausible theory of
the starting of the fire.
Between fire and smoke the dam
age was considerable in the store
proper. While the firemen were
fighting the fire in the store a will
ing crew of men and boys removed
the goods from the store room
back of the main store. A log store
building on the same spot burned
completely about 1904 and was re-
placed by the present building.

Comments Of A
Defeated Candidate

AS an also ran we are glad OF
this opportunity to tell the people
that we are as truly appreciative
of the votes we received as though
they had been enough to place us
No. 1 in the race for state r%epresen-
tative.
nominees of as loyal support and
cooperation as we would have eX-
pected from them were u posi-
tions reversed. We still adhere to
the policy of lower contract inter
est rates. a moratorium on delin-
quent taxes and loans on farms
and homes. This moratorium be-
comes more necessary each day as
the price of wheat and other farm
products get lower, making it more
evidently impossible to pay.
While it does not immed-
lately to materially reduce the a.
mount of taxes, it would be en-
tirely possible to place a produc-
ton income tax, also to assess prop
erty to the legal owner, and IN
many other ways release the non
productive tangibles, thereby re-
lieving the home owner and farmer
from a part of the tax burdens.
We believe that intoxicating llq-
uors as a public commodity for
beverage in any amounts should
be permanently outlaWed, and that
where the Volstead act is weak, 1t
should be strengthened, not repeal
ed. Last, we will vote for Hoover.

TRADER HORN TREK WAS
MILES In AFRICA

The Trader Horn" expedition.
which penetrated Africa to film and
record a mighty adventure drama
based on the famous book, was
the longest and most elaborate mo
ton trek in history. w. S. Van
Dyke, director, headed the safari,
and Harry Carey, Edwina Booth,
Duncan Renaldo and Olive Golden
were the principal players.
The entire trip covered more
than $1,000 miles, much of it by
motor or on foot in the dense Afri-
can jungles. From the studio to
the first location meant SO days of
travel. The motorized safari was
accompanied by a small army of
hunters, guards and roadmakers.
Marvellous Scenery
Spectacular vistas of the African
veldt, rivers, jungles and pictur-
esque waterfalls serve as an exotic
background for what have been
unanimously declared the most ex-
citing episodes shown on the talk
ing screen.
100 Vehicles
The caravan was composed of a
hundred trucks and autos. A port
able generator plant producing 1,400
amperes supplied the lights, cleo
trio motors for sound recording,
and lit the camp. There were thirty
five white people in the safari, and
about a hundred native guards,
laborers and hunters. An entire
village was rented from the sui
tan.
Roads Built
A surgeon maintained a complete
surgery and emergency hospital in
one truck.
Roads had to be built ahead of
the safari by the native workers,
who cleared camps in the jungles.
Sometimes the entire party had to
walk and help shove the trucks
difficult territory or across
A portable radio, of the type used
by the u. S. Marine Corps, kept
the party in touch with civilization.
Trader Horn will be the special
at the Liberty theatre,
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

Americas reply to the British claim
of military supremacy in the air was
sounded today at the Anscostia Naval
Air Station by the roaring propeller Oh
a new 200-mile per hour two-seater
fighter, which is hailed as the greatest
American advance in military air
science.
The utmost secrecy surrounds the
new fighter. now completing its per-
Torrance trials. No announcement Oh
any kind has been made regarding the
plane either by the Navy Department.
or its builders the Grammar Aircraft
Engineering Corporation, Baldwin. Long
Island, and on photographs OF the snip
have been permitted.
Though its performance figures are
closely guarded, the big fighter Is SAID
to rank with the finest OF the BRUSH
high-speed military ships in speed and
performance and to outrank them IN
capacity to carry military loads, giving
it better range and deadlier armament
than any plane Of its speed IN the
world. s

In appearance the XFF-l is unlike
ANYTHING yet seen in the American
skies, It is a biplane with a fuselage
of extremely thick section. beautifully
streamlined. In fight nothing protects
from the fuselage but a tiny tail wheel
and the hook of the arresting gear used
for carrier operation.
The two cockpits are inclosed IN a
streamlined transparent housing the
rear of which telescopes like the top
of an office desk to uncover the feX-
ible rear gun. The mounting Of the
rear gun is distinctly new. The gun
ner sits in his seat. which is movable
in all directions. The gun is mounted
on a horn rising from the front edge
of the seat between the gunner's legs
The mounting is expected TO give q
steadiness and effectiveness Of fire never
before equaled in a ship of this type
and at the same time to keep the gun
ner and his piece down out Of the ter
rife slip-stream.
The pilot fires two guns, mounted
normally in the fuSelage and firing

scope sight mounted through the front
