tim was bear The bullet struck
Mr.. Hansen below the left shoulder

come out in front above his heart. Ac-
cOrding to the story told by young
Christensen he was hunting in the
woods and mistook Mr.. Hansen for a
bear. He said he heard a crash,
which probably was tree which Mr..
Hansen had just fallen, and looked up
to see an object moving. He pulled the
trigger and did not know until he
came near to the victim that it was a

year ago where he purchased the
former Voetman farm two and half
miles northwest of the village and
moved onto it this spring after re-
siding in Askov during the winter
months. Although only known in
Askov a short time Mr.. Hansen was
a respected resident and was a well
come addition to the industrial as
well as social life of the community.
The deceased is survived by his

tiers and one son. The funeral will
be held from the Danish Ev. Lutheran

SUBSCRIBER MUST
PAY IF HE ACCEPTS

In a recent circuit court de-
cision it was ruled that sub
scriber who accepts newspaper
must pay for the same. The de-
cision by Judge Robert j. Smith,
is as follows: "The preparation
and publication of newspaper
involves much mental and physical
labor, as we'll as an outlay Of
money. One who accepts the paper
by continuously taking it from the
post office or from the carrier
receives benefit and pleasure
arising from such labor and ex-
penditure, as fully as if he had
appropriated any other product of
another's labor, and must be held
liable for the subscription price,"

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

| A few days ago Secretary of State
! COrdell Hull, and members of the of
/ fetal American delegation, left Wash
: ington for Montevideo, Uruguay,
where they will attend the Pan-Amer-
lean conference which opens on De-
cember 3. While most of the prob
lens to come up for discussion are of
an economic nature, there will be a
good deal of talk about political rela-
tions, too-possibly about the Monroe
Doctrine and it's continued validity
which is doubted by a good many
statesmen in the American countries.
Politically, there are several issues
which have not yet been definitely
dispc sed of. In Cuba, a new revOlu-
tionary outbreak Last week had a
tendency to further complicate an al
ready difficult situation: between
Paraguay and Bolivia a war is still
in progress although it seems to have
abated to some extent; a conflict
about the port of Leticia between
Peru and Colombia continues to
threaten the peace of South America.
While the conference at Montevideo
cannot remove the Latin-American
troubles, it has the power to formu-
late recommendations for the con-
sideration of the various governments
participating in the conference, and
whatever steps are taken may result
in strengthening the bonds of amity
existing between the nations as well
as between Latin America and the
United States.
Recognizing Russia.
In this country Secretary Hull's de-
parture was considered an earnest of
impending official American recog-
milton of the Russian Soviet govern
ment.
For it was with Hull that Maxim
Litvinov, Russian foreign minister
and special envoy to America, had
negotiated for several days. The two
men had gone over the situation very
thoroughly, and at the time Hull left

, Contractors Bring Skilled Labor.
Most of the skilled labor is brought
here by the contractors. This in
cludes three grade foremen, five
shovel runners, four men connected
with rock drilling to look after the
air comprehensive on each day
shift-no night shift there. A time
keeper, a clerk, and the camp cook
swell the out-of-county help to Is and
with the two contractors makes for
II men.
A half dozen camp trucks with
kitchen, dining and bunk houses have
been set up at the Chris Hansen farm
ON the east side of Kettle river and
nearest the project. That and the
village of Askov will be the head
quarters of the contractors. Tele-
phone connections are being installed
at the camp. The contractors would
just as soon have the workmen stay
at their homes but if the distance.
is too great and it is not convenient
to go home after each days work
the camp is there for their use at
rs cents per day for board and room,
or $500 per week. The rate is set
under rules of the federal govern
ment.
Much Local Labor.
Besides the 10 local men put to-
work Tuesday, Runquist & Campbell
stated that other Pine county men
employed this week will include: Two.
gasoline shovel operators, six cater
pillar men, 20 truck drivers, and 40
laborers.
Built with federal money the rules
as laid down for this project, the.
same as on other projects under the
Industrial Recovery Act, provide for
80 hour week for the workers. The
men will either work right along
except Sundays at five hours each day
or they will work three days each
week with 10 hour days. What plan
will be adopted has not yet been de-
cided by the contractors. If the men
work 10 hours per day one crew
will start on Thursday and work Fri
day and Saturday, lay off Sunday and
then work Monday Tuesday and We'd
nesday. That will be followed by a.
week off and then start on a Thurs
day again, thus making for 30 hours
in each week.
If the two shift plan is adopted with
five hours work daily the one crew
will start at $50 or ZOO a. m. and
the other crew will go on at noon.
Only severe cold weather and heavy
frost will cause the putting on of
four crews or continual day and night
work in order to have no tie-up. The
contractors are of the opinion that
it will be principally day work. If
four crews should be employed it will
mean a larger force.
Will Use 3.TOn Trucks.
Implements and machinery brought
here on the job include three shovels.
two air compressors, five jack-ham-
mer rock drills, three 60-horsepower-
caterpillar tractors, and three 7-yard
caterpillar wagons. Being unable to-
secure 21a-ton trucks the contractors;
stated that the Federal Employment
Board has granted them permission
to use 3-ton trucks. They will need
about Is of such trucks from Pine
county within few days.

LIBERAL BANK RULE
Michigan Senator Hits Ruth.
less Deflation' That Keeps
Institutions Closed.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican, O,
Michigan, asserted in the Senate today
that rule Of ruthless deflation" hat
been followed in licensing banks to re.
open and some liberalization in admin.
istration Of the emergency banking act
was needed If many closed banks were
to be saved.
Vandenberg addressed his remarks tc
the pending bill to permit direct loans
from Federal Reserve banks to State
banks and trust companies outside the
Federal Reserve system.
He spoke after Senator Glass, Demo-
crat, of Virginia, had opposed an
amendment by Senator Adams, Demo-
crat, Of Colorado, to exempt the State
banks from the requirement of q
thorough examination" before they
could receive a loan.
Roosevelt Wrote Section.
Glass said in some States there had
been no examination of banks since
May 2, 1882.
The Virginian said President Roose-
velt himself had written the "examina-
ton" protective section of the bill.
Vandenberg said If liberalization of
the emergency banking act was not de-
sirable "at least the liberalization of
its administration is desirable"
Glass interrupted to say that two OF
the largest banks in a certain State
which has benefited to the extent of
millions of dollars of the taxpayers
money acquired through the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation, and with
three or four hundred correspondent
banks, had not been examined for
nearly a year."
Would the Senator call that liberal
administration of the law?" Glass in
quired.
THAT is not an example of the thing
of which I am speaking" Vandenberg
said. This banking crisis is not over
simply because it has left the front
pages Of the Washington newspapers"
$40 Still Closed.
Vandenberg then read a communica-
ton from the State banking commits
sioner Of Michigan saying 1874 banks had
been opened there and $40 were shut.

tutions this way: 81 national banks open
