WiIO,U Riuer Pair
Are HOnOred After
Il Long Residence

A few friends and relatives gath
cred around the festive board at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Julius Dobos-
zenski east of Willow River in Nor
man township Sunday evening and
helped themselves to a bounteous
feed of fried chicken. Those pres
ent besides the family were Mr. and
Mrs. Tony Doboszenski and Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Hollenbeck of Mime
apolis, and Mr.. and Mrs. E. B. Lins-
ley of Willow River
Mr.. and Mrs. Julius Doboszenski
have lived on the farm, east of Will
low River in Norman township, for
the past 46 years, having come there
from Europe. He came from Rus
sa, Poland, and she from Germany.
He worked some time in the Dakotas
and came to Sturgeon Lake where
he met and married Anna Coke.
A Homestead.
They took the 160 acres as a home
stead. 1t was covered with timber,
wild hay and fruits, including blue
berries, just an ideal place to make
a home. Their first buildings were
constructed of logs cut on the land.
Later on frame house was built and
these buildings were sufficient until
in the fall of 1919 when a hail storm
and wind demolished the buildings to
such an extent that it was necessary
to build new barn and repair the
other buildings. All the lumber was
supplied from the farm. The new
barn is sufficiently large for the in
crease of cattle, both beef and dairy
herd, and for the larger number of
horses which they are obliged to
have to carry on the work efficiently.
They added 40 acres so they would
have more pasture.
The first five years Mr. Doboszen-
ski worked with an OK team for
which he paid $76, including harness.
Later he found this was too slow and
purchased fine team of horses for
$3.50. Then he sold the oxen for $1OO
and kept the harness.
Mr.. and Mrs. Doboszenski are the
parents of seven boys and five girls.
The boys are Nick, Stanley, Vincent,
Joseph, Tony, Leo and Victor; the
girls are Helen, Clementine, Francis
and Eleanora and one girl died when
three months old. They, as we'll as
other farmers, are enjoying bounte-
Gus crops this year. The sons, Leo
and Victor, have charge of the farm
at the present time. They have
many relatives in the home vicinity
as his brothers, John and Ludvick,
have both reared their families there.
Mrs. Doboszenski was the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Coke of
Sturgeon Lake.

Finlayson Rifle
Shooters Beat Mora

Not being satisfied with conquer
ing the Askov and Sandstone rifle
men during the past summer the
Finlayson sharpshooters went to
Mora Sunday and engaged team
from that place in a match. The
final score was Finlayson SOS and
Mora 486.
The high score for the day and for
the season was made by Ed Larson
shooting for Finlayson when he
counted an 3D. One of the Mora
riflemen, shooting with a 1O-power
telescope sight, made an 80 but this
was illegal in competition for high
score, although the Finlayson sports
men let his score count toward the
team total.
Another match will possibly be
shot between the two teams at Fin
laySon.

Askov Pair Wed
In An Iowa City
Miss Alice NJ. Johnson
Becomes Bride of MIR.
Christian Keller.

A wedding of interest to Askov
people took place in Dubuque, Iowa,
Sunday afternoon at 100 p. m. when
Miss Alice Marie Johnson became
the bride of Mr.. Christian Keller.
The ceremony was conducted by Rev.
Martin A. RuSsert in the Lutheran
church in that city in the presence
of a group of relatives including the
parents of both contracting young
people. After the wedding a dinner
was served at the Diamond Cafe to
the couple, their parents and younger
brother of the groom.
Both the bride and groom are we'll
known here, having spent their lives
in the community where they also
received their education. The bride
graduated from the local high school
last June and before that was active
in young peoples circles and also
a member of the church choir and
girls glee club. She is a popular
young lady and possesses many of
those qualities which make for a
good helpmate. Her home environ
ment, her training and her character
speak well for her future in any
community where she may reside.
The groom is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. o. R. Keller of this community,
who are at present making their
home in Dubuque, Iowa, while Mr..
Keller is employed in construction
work. He is young man of good
habits and industrious nature. He was,
for a considerable time, employed
by the Sebald Motor Sales. in this
community, but at the present time
is working for the Kilstofte Construc-
ton Co.
The couple went right to house
keeping in an apartment at 1859
Locust in Dubuque and their many
friends here join in wishing them
well in their life together.

% Fishermen, Yet
But 4 Little Fish

Twenty-three sportsmen from the
Sandstone Rod & Gun club left bright
and early Sunday morning for Mile
Laos lake where they boarded a
launch to do some fishing, but 10
and behold most of them sneaked
up the alley when they came home
with but four little fish. This is the
sum and substance of the thing as
told by one of the party.
Try as they might the pesky things
just would not bite and, considering
the personnel of the crowd who tried,
it certainly would have been no use
for any one else to try-they just
aren't biting at this season of the
year.
However, four fish means no skunk
and look at the fun they had-"them
thar fishermen!"

stroyed by fire about 5 o'clock Sum

to save anything except few clothes,
as the fire was too far along when
he was awakened. It started in the

defective chimney.

Close Observer of Eastern
Pine Project Gives De-
tailed Narrative.

In answer to many critics who
seem to feel that not enough has
been done for the money spent
on the projects in eastern Pine
county where there are built
recreation camps, one who has
closely observed the progress of
the undertaking issues the fol-
lowing narrative:
Many seem to be under the i'm
preston that there is nothing done
at these camps, and that the money
appropriated for these projects is
mostly squandered and will do the
general public no good, but let us
see. Here are several thousand acres
designated to park service and for
park purposes. Some of this land
is worthless for farm purposes but
still makes an ideal park. Would
it be a paying proposition for this
state of ours to let this large tract
lie in its wild state or have it as il
is now.
Miles and miles of roads have been
built here and there, winding their
ways in and out through thick jack
pines and over open stretches lead
ing to the girls camp which was
built last summer, to the up-to-date
fire tower and cabin on the hill, also
to the CCC camp and to the new boys
camp now under construction and the
tourist camp being built by the CCC
boys; also camp called, control quar-
tiers, which has been started just north
of the CCC camp on Yellow Banks
In less than two years there have
been nearly a hundred buildings put
up, however some are not yet quite
completed
This may to many seem that a
crew of men should have more than
that accomplished, but remember
there is a bridge crew that built
three bridges, the surveyors crew
that is busy every day, the road
crew, the gas shovel crew, the cement
crew, the plumbing crew, the kitchen
crew, camp crew and office force and
carpenter crew. So all men are not
at the same kind of work. Also there
are the truck drivers as all material

Girl Washed Through
Long Storm Sewer

Going through more than 125
feet of "a inch storm sewer feet
first and emerging from the other
end, half or that width because of
heavy silt deposits, may be just a
little Audrey" story to some people
but not to Audrey Stark of Orion
vile, who had police and eye wit
neSses worried when she was liter
ally washed through the narrow
storm sewer. SiX-year old Audrey
dressed in her swimming suit, was
playing in the gutter shortly after
a heavy rain when the onrush of
water simply swept her off her
feet and carried her, feet first,
through the opening of the storm
sewer that travels a distance of
about 125 feet kitty-corner. That
at least was her story.
Eye witnesses saw the girl swept
away and Immediately called Vic
tor Beckman, day patrolman, who
went to the storm sewer outlet
and found the drenched and
coughing girl emerging from the
narrow, silt filled opening. Au-
drey, none the worse for her ex-
perience except getting a bit of
water in her lungs and some knee
bruises, said she was just car
ried right through and she was
awfully scared and couldn't
breathe much and when she opened
her mouth to scream, she got her
mouth all filled with water"

Sportsmen Meet
At Finlayson
o. L. Kaupanger, Execu.
tive Officer of Izaak Wal
ton League, Speaks.

Approximately rs sportsmen, mem
berS of four conservation clubs in
this section of the county, met in
the comfortable and unique log cabin
home of the Finlayson Izaak Walton
League Friday night. The main pur-
pose of the meeting was for getting
better acquainted and to discuss a
better conservation program. While
several from the various clubs were
called upon for short talks, the prin-
cipal speaker was o. L Kaupanger,
executive vice president of the state
Izaak Walton League. P. w. Swed-
burg, forest ranger of Moose Lake,
also made comment on conservation
and the forests.
Several impromptu speeches pre-
ceding Mr.. Kaupanger's talk were
heard and all praised the program
for which the Finlayson League has
worked for many years and likewise
praised that group as good hosts in
its comfortable and pretty cabin.
v. E. Shafer, cashier of the First
State Bank of Finlayson, and secre-
tary of the Izaak Walton chapter
in that community acted as master
of ceremonies and introduced Mr..
Kaupanger.
Discusses Conservation.
Mr.. Kaupanger in a general dis
cuSSion of the conservation program,
stressed the importance of water con-
servation and deplored the drop in
the states water level during the
past several years. The speaker cited
the dying of southern Minnesota
groves and the shortage of good
drinking water in the western part
of Minnesota and the eastern part of
North and South Dakota, saying that
the peoples drinking water supply
came mainly from the polluted
streams and lakes in that section.
In speaking on the game situa-
ton Mr.. Kaupanger stated that he
had Travelled widely over Minnesota
and there appears to be shortage
of pheasants especially in the south
ern part.
Discuss Deer Season.
Considerable discussion was in
dulged in in regards to the special
short deer season which has been
announced to open on November 20
and continue through the 25th. A
rising vote of the attendance was
called as to its favor for the deer
season law as it stands against the
opening of special seasons, resulted
in approximately 80 per cent.
The Grindstone Lake, Sandstone
Rod & Gun, Partridge Conservation
clubs and the Finlayson Izaak Wal
ton League chapter all went on rec
ord at the meeting to sponsor a
move to petition the board of county
commissioners to make some ar
rangement to pay bounty on the
gray fox, which is taking his place
with the wolf in this section.
Game Wardens Greig, Schultz and
Beckman were in attendance at the
meeting.

Duquette Store Is
Again Broken Into

For the second time within the
period of a few months the Ander-

was taken, part of which was postal
funds; also three jackets were taken.
Taking of postal funds is an Of
tense which is not easily forgotten

International
News Review
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

Thirty-nine months ago Adolf Hit
Ter, chief executive of the German
government, arrived in Venice as
the specially invited guest of Benito
Mussolini, dictatorial prime minister
of Italy. Great Importance was
ascribed, beforehand, to the first
meeting of the fascist and the nazist
leaders, but as matter of sober
fact nothing very important resulted.
1t was a show, and not much more.
Something similar will probably
have to be Said-"When all the re-
turns are in'-concerning Mussolini's
visit with Hitler from Saturday of
last week until Wednesday of this;
the difference between the two per-
formances is that the German stage
settings were far more elaborate than
were the Italian, but the principal
actors were the same. The back
ground had changed, for, thirty-nine
months ago Italy had not yet con-
quered Ethiopia; there was no civil
war in Spain; there was no Franco
Russian alliance; there was no
friendship treaty between Japan and
Germany-and Hitler's country had
not yet become the major military
factor it now is.
Busy Days.
But-the actors were the same now
as then; their fundamental ideas
were unchanged; their hatred of

Check Lost 81
Years Is Paid

A check drawn June 7, 1916 for
$500 in favor of j. P. Trainor of
Graceville, has just been pre-
sented for payment to a local firm.
Mr.. Trainor, in looking through
some old papers in his desk, ran
across the check and the envelope
in which it was mailed. Naturally,
he wondered whether the pay
ment would be made if presented
81 years after the check had been
drawn. The company is still in
business and was glad to pay Mr..
Trainor the amount due him.

Pioneer Lumber
Dealer Passes AS
Result OF Stroke
p. A. Nelson 26-year Resi-
dent of Pine County, Vic
tim of Stroke Saturday.

Peter A. Nelson, 81 year old re-
spected business man of Brook Park,
passed away at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. o. A. Chase, in Min
neapolis Saturday. Mr.. Nelson's
death was the result of stroke which
he suffered four weeks ago. Soon
after his affliction he was brought
to the home of his son and daughter
in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. Manford Nell
son of Askov, where he remained
for several days. But as his condi-
ton did not improve he was taken
to Minneapolis to be confined at the
home of his daughter, where he grad
ually failed until he passed away
suddenly on Saturday.
Mr.. Nelson, popular man in his
home community of Brook Park for
many years, followed the profession
of lumber dealer and had resided at
other places in this section of the
state before settling at Brook Park
in 1911.
Born in Sweden.
He was born in Sweden Nov. 10,
1856 and came to the United States
where he settled at North Branch in
1866. He resided there until 1885
when he moved to Duluth. He re-
manned in the head-of-the-lakes city
for 10 years and in 1895 moved to
Lindstrom. Two years later he went
back to North Branch to stay until
1911 when he established his last
residence at Brook Park. He was
a member of the Swedish Lutheran
church.
Mr.. Nelson, besides being an in
dustrious man, also knew how to
play. He could be counted upon to
back the local baseball team to the
limit of his ability and anglers never
failed to have help when it came
to taking the finny tribe. 1t was one
of his son, Manford's, spring duties
in recent years to take him on fish
ing excursion at Mile Laos lake
where they seldom failed to get a
plentiful catch. His life was full and
it was time for him to 60 but many
will fight back tears to think back to
the time when Mr.. Nelson was in
the prime of life to greet them with
a smile and a wave of the hand or
spoken word.
He was first married in 1884 to
Anna Anderson who died in 1911 at
North Branch. He next welded
Anna Gross in 1916 and she, too,
passed away in 1880 at Brook Park.
He is survived by one daughter,
Helen (Mrs o. A. Chase) of Mime
apolis; sons, Gilbert of Reseda, Calf. ;
Manford of Askov; Harvey of Pasa-
dena, Calf, and George of Brook
Park; also by four brothers, David
of Duluth; Joseph of Hawthorne,
Wis; Martin of Hinckley, and Paul
of Duluth; and seven grandchildren.
Funeral services were conducted
at North Branch Tuesday afternoon
by Rev. Wendell Olson with Man.

Many friends in this county as
well as other places where the de-
ceased had resided, join in the eX-
tension of sincere sympathy to the
family in its loss of good father.
