FORMER SERVICE MEN TO BENEFIT BY NEW CHANGES IN REGULATIONS WASHINGTON April -By A. -Numerous benefits not before within the reach of disabled ex-service men were granted in the new veteran relief net passed during the last days, of the 67th Congress, says the United States Veteran's Bureau. Many of the provisions of the new law are sponsered by veterans' organizations. One of the most important it is said by the Veterans' Bureau, provides, in effect: 1. That every officer and enlisted man or any person in the active service under the War and Navy departments, who, was discharged or who resigned prior to the establishment of the Bureau, August 9, 1921, and every sach person in the active service on or before November 11, 1918, who, on or after August-9, 1921, was discharged or resigned, shall be conclusively held to have been in sound condition when entering the service, except as to such disabilities as were noted of record when or prior to the time he entered the service.
2. That an ex-service man who is shown to have a mental disease or an active tubercular disease of 10 per cent or. more, and such showing was made upon examination by a medical officer of the Veterans' Bureau or other qualified physician, within three years after separating from the service, shall be considered to have acquired his disability in service or to have suffered an aggravation of preexistent tuberlar or mental disability. In addition to extending this period from two years to three years in mentali and tubercular cases, the provision eliminates the qualification that the tubercular condition must be pulmonary to entitle one to the benefits of the uzesumption. A provision is also made that ments of premiums on yearly renewable term insurance and converted insurance may be deemed not to have lapsed in the cases of those persons, who, while mentally incompetent and for whom no legal guardian had been appointed, have heretofore allowed or may hereafter allow their insurance to lapse while so suffering, during the period for which they have been or may hereafter be so rated.

It was built logs, according to descriptiona which Mr. Ryman has found, but was only a trading post, and not a fort designed to withstand attack by the Indiana, who were friendly.
The definitely as Mr. Ryman has been able to ascertain, was a few miles east of the present town of Thompson Falls. Definite location of the site of the old 'Saleesh House" will be a contribution to the history of the whole northwest. local historians state. David Thompson, a homeless boy in London, was inmate of an orphan home from the time he was seven until he was founteen, when he was "bound out" to the Hudson Bay Comrany and sent across the Atlantic.
He worked for both the Hudson Bay Company and the Northwest Company, the two big English fur-trading companies in North America, For them he penetrated the prairie region to what is now known 4a Saskatchewan and Montana, and even farther west. One of Thon companions taught him sufficient mathematics to enable him to determine latitude with the simple instruments which the fur trader-explorers, of 120 years ago could carry with them. When, in 1800, John Astor, send a party by ship Cape New York merchant, determined, to Horn to establish a fur trading post at the mouth of the Columbia river, he sent representatives to Quebee and the Great Lakes to secure employes, of the Hudson Bay Company and the Northwest company who knew something of the country in the direction of the Pacific Coast.

He saw others, who had boon with him by the English companien go down the St.

With a few companions he started west to make the trip overland. At Kettle Falls, which is now Colville, but then was a of the English fur trading companies, Thompson built, boate. in 'which he and his party made the rent of the trip down the Columbia, to the north by that winding river, goInge down through the valleys of conWashington to the mouth at the river.
