Big Increase Shown in the Com
merce of Lake Superior.
WASHINGTON, July 19-The annual
report of Maj. Clinton B. Sears on the
Improvement of rivers and harbors on
Lake Superior, was given out by the Sec
rotary of war today. Maj. Sears says
of the work at Duluth that the contracts
heretofore made have been continued,
resulting in the removal of 4,2O2, 229 cubic
substructure Of the new south pier, Du-
ssubtructure of the new south pier, Du-
luth ship canal, Is under way. Seven Of
the 1G0-foot foundation cribs are In posi-
ton, and five decked over ready to re-
ceive concrete footing blocks and con-
crete superstructure. Five more are
completed except for the steel plating.
Maj. Sears says the lake commerce at
Duluth and Superior amounted to $142,-
$4,000 during the last navigation season,
as against Sis, 100000 for the preceding
season. Since the United States took
charge of the harbor the commerce has
amounted to over s1,01S, SOC, 900.
The contract for the completion of the
project at Grand Marias, Mimi, for
which an appropriation of $4,000 was
made, can be most advantageously made
during the coming fall, as timber can be
got out during the winter.

1em-News of Northwest.


CASS LAKE, Mimi, July 19.-(Special.)
The news reached here this afternoon
that Secretary Hitchcock has wired Capt.
Mercer to suspend the order to expel all
Aug. %. Capt. Mercer declined to discuss
the matter, but admitted that the original
programme would not be carried out
Cass Lake tonight is both jubilant and
confident The new order is taken as
an indication that settlers will not be ex-
PEELED and that some means will be found
Of settling the controversy in satisfac-
tory way. The system of leases proposed
by Capt. Mercer is popular here and 1t is
believed that 1t will prove the solution of
the problem. Now that the secretary,
in spite of his originally aggressive stand.
has been influenced to make concessions,
it is not believed that the original order
will ever be put into effect.
WASHINGTON, July 19-Secretary
Hitchcock this afternoon telegraphed in
structions to Capt Mercer in charge of
the Leech Lake Indian agency, suspend
ing until Aug % the removal Of the white
S~'S~NAS eAAO SO-Se]ilOA u OSOd<5SSAb TIC
agency lands. The order of suspension.
it is SAID is to allow time for considera-
ton of additional information that has
been filed at the interior department.
Secretary Hitchcock says he has no
knowledge Of any offer by Agent Mer-
Ger and Inspector Nessler to lease Cass
Lake lands to settlers. Further than
this he did not care to express himself,
as Mercer and Nessler may be conducting
negotiations with the whites that he
might complicate by making a statement
at this time.
A law officer Of the department, who
has followed the Cass Lake troubles
closely, Is authority, however, for the
statement that Mercer and Nessler have
no authority under the law to lease any
of the land embraced in the Cass Lake
townsite. 1t is Indian land said this gen.
tleman, and no lease for Indian land can
be executed by any official of the govern
ment without the authority of congress.
This has not been given in the case of the
Chippewa reservation.
There is possibility that Mercer and
Nessler may make negotiations for the
location Of Cass Lake Settlers on the al
loted lands near that place, and that
they have progressed far enough to war
rant them In submitting a proposition to
the secretary. They should be heard from
in few days, he thought He hoped
