The recently organized Birthday
Club of Willow River met in the
home of Mrs. Alex Sharlow Wednes
day of last week to assist in cele
brating Der seventy-first birthday.
Mrs. SharlOw has the distinction OF
having lived in Pine county her entire
lifetime, having been born on the
banks of Kettle river one mile south
of Rutledge in an Indian village.
Mrs. Sharlow tells of the early life
in this county when it was covered
with a beautiful Pine forest and there
was an abundance of fish in the lakes
and streams, game in the forests and
blueberries and other fruit. The peo-
pie at that time, says Mrs. Sharlow,
dried their blueberries, had plenty OF
wild rice, gathered their own maple
syrup and sugar and never knew what
depression was, always having
plenty until the advent of the white
man who denuded the forests for pro-
fit and came to develop the country
for agriculture.
Mrs. Sharlow's many friends and
neighbors join in extending best
wishes for many more birthdays.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

Last week the United States govern
ment let it become known that it was
preparing a new approach to the sOlu
ton of the problem of international
disarmament; it had instructed Hugh
r. Wilson, American minister to
switzerland, to open negotiations with
the governments of those countries
which carry on the largest part of the
worlds arms and munitions business
in a preliminary effort to obtain an
agreement bringing all such business
under government control.
AS a result Mr.. Wilson has already
called on the diplomats at Paris, Lon
don and Rome, but has not been re-
ceived with "a great deal of encourage
ment In the first place, the plan is
not nevis, as a matter of fact, mere
ly a recapitulation of treaty signed
nine years ago for exactly that same
purpose. In the second place, interest in
any form of control of the ornaments
trade is not very keen just now, and,
in the third place, the American pro-
posal goes only Railways, for, even
if it were generally accepted, it would
not lessen the danger of war very ma
terially. The only effective measure
would be government ownership of all
arms and munitions factories, and the
complete elimination of the incentive
formed by the vast profits now made
out of man-killing machinery.
Next Step.
1t is probable that plans pertaining
to the regulation of the worlds dead
Hest industry will be considered at
the meeting of the steering bureau
of the disarmament conference, now
gathered at Geneva. The primary
purpose of the bureau meeting is to

BIG GAME HUNTING
SEASON ENDS SUNDAY

Thousands of Minnesota's big game
hunters are in northern woods this
week enjoying their favorite sport of
stalking deer and bear. They will
have until sunset Sunday evening.
November 25, in which to secure
their venison and bear steaks.
Extreme parts of northern Mime
sofa are usually considered when deer
hunting is brought to mind, according
to Erling Swenson, director of the
Division of Game and Fish. He called
attention today to the large scope of
the open deer territory in Minnesota
as evidence of the widespread habitat
of deer in the state.
''Big game hunters may enjoy their
favOrite sport in a territory compris-
ing almost half the, area of the state,
across the entire northern boundary
from the northeastern tip where the
Pigeon river empties into Lake Super
ior to Moves at the northwest corner.
to Pine City in the southeast and De-
troit Lakes to the southwest, from the
northwest angle country which butts
up into Canada south to the, city Of
Brainerd.
"Fifteen Minnesota counties and
parts of three others are open this
fall to big game hunting.
ut is important that hunters make
prompt returns of reports covering
their seasons bag, covering upland
game birds, migratory waterfowl and
big game. Last year 11,628 deer
were taken according to the returns
actually received" said Mr. Swenson.

State Capitol News
By A. l. HARRIS

With the opening of the deer season,
the question of the future of Mime
sofas deer herd is brought to the fore.
1t seems the concensus of opinion
among experts that the deer herd,
properly protected, can remain per-
manent wild life resource in Mime
sofa, understanding, as deer do, the
encroachments of civilization. Many
experts feel that Minnesota eventua ly
will come to the one-buck law, which
is said to have proven successful in
Pennsylvania and other states.
Unless the midwest farmer is given
equality with industry, the nation will
see an agrarian revolt rising from the
farmlandS which will develop into a
powerful national third party, Cover
nor Olson warned in a recent inter
view with eastern news papermen. The
governor pointed out that all of the
third parties in the past such as the
POpulists and Greenbackers which
forced old line parties to radical
changes of policy have come from
just such movements, and added that
when such a political uprising came,
81 will be in it, There's nothing that
I'd like better than to be the cam
paign manager of such a movement.
I'd like to be the one who throws the
bricks, this time, instead of the enc
who ducks them" Ironically, he con-
cluded: "You know, out here in the
middle west We are beginning to
suspect the East of 'sectiOnalism.'

Halls of the Capitol are already

with few exceptions, were reelected
on November 6.
Important Features OF Election.
The more important features of the
election were:
l. Straight vote for FL. candidates.
2. Heavy majorities in larger cities.
3. Farmers and workers stuck
4. Business men were terrified by
assaults on Farmer-Labor platform.
While Governor Olson's plurality is
approximately 100000 votes below
that of two years ago, the showing of
Farmer-Labor candidates as a whole
was better on November 6 than at the
election of 1882.
An examination of the precinct re-
turns shows conclusively that the
business men of the smaller cities
and villages were the principal vic
tins of the unholy propaganda con-
Quoted by the Farmer-Labor Opposi-
ton. On the other hand, gains were
invariably recorded in labor districts
of the larger cities, and the farmers
stood by the ship" as in years
gone by.
Olson Carries Austin.
Labor not only held fast to the
Farmer-Labor party in the large
cities but also stuck in the smaller
industrial centers. Fer example, Gov
ernor Olson carried the city of Austin,
home of Martin Nelson, by a plurality
of 244 votes. Olson also carried Nell
sons precinct by So votes.
Naturally the Farm r-Laborites
throughout the state are jubilant over
the outcome OF the election. 1t has
been demonstrated conclusively that
the producers of wealth can win vic
tories over big business opposition
when they have faith in themselves
and unite intelligently to accomplish
their purpose. The farmers, workers,
and small business people have an
overwhelming majority of the votes
when they combine their efforts at
the poll for common objective. Only
division in their ranks makes victory
possible for their oppressors.
The thing to do is to begin an
immediate campaign of organization
and education for 1886. AS announced
by the Farmer-Labor Leader in its
issue of November Is, "The Farmer
Labor Campaign of 1886 opened at
midnight November 6, 1884"
