NO DELAY IN OPENING.
Land Office at cass Lake to Begin
Business July 1.

LITTLE FALLS. Mimi. April IA
There have been frequent reports from
Washington in the past few weeks
that the authorities had been induced
by protests from Bemidji, Duluth and
other places to delay action in the
new Cass Lake land district and that
changes would be made in the boun-
dairy. and in the location of the Office.
Such reports are not well founded.
The decision of the department will
be final. and the president has ap-
proved the plan. The department is
going ahead with the necessary for
malities. and the existing land offices
have been notified to announce no
hearings coming after July l involv-
ing any lands in the new district.
On that date the Cass Lake land office
Will be opened.
Congressman Buchanan has just re-
eelVed positive. assurance from Wash
lngton that there was no hitch or de-
lay IN any of the plans for the new
district
Inc Cass Lake district will contain
ABOUT 200 townships. It's eastern
boundary is the line between ranges
70 and "a. and extends from Rainy
Lake on the northern border a few
miles east of Koochiching south to
town %, to the Aitkin county line. The
south boundary runs from thence west
nfteen townships. to the north and
south line between ranges So and So.
Inc west boundary runs north for six
teen townships. The boundary is then
carried east six townships. and north
TO the Canadian line, a few miles
east of Baudete.
The district includes part of four
countfes-1tasca. Cass, Hubbard and
Beitrami. Parts of Cass and Hubbard
counties remain in the ST. Cloud dis
trlct, part of Itasca remains with

AMES TO APPEAR
IN COURT MONDAY
Will Be Tried First on Ac.
cepting Brides From
Women.

When eX-Mayor Ames appears in
court next Monday he will have to an
swer to the charge of receiving brides
from half a dozen women.
Dr. Ames' attorneys, Frank M. Nye
and H. S. Mead, were notified late yes
terday afternoon in accordance with an
agreement that the county attorney
vas to notify them concerning the in
dictment at least two weeks before the
case came to trial. The matter of II
indictment being settled, efforts of OPP
posing counsel will now be focused on
the charges.
Ames is charged with having re-
ceived a bride of $500 from Gladys
Barr, Augusta Hayden, Nellie Resell,
Bessie Ferriss, Sadie Bird, Ethel Ford,
and others whose names to the grand
jury are unknown.
The prosecution is relying on the
evidence Of Irwin A. Gardner, who is
believed to be in possession of infor-
nation that will send Ames to Jail.
But the strength of Gardeners testi-
mony is somewhat diluted by reason of
the fact that Gardner was formerly the
f1dus achates of the Ames administra-
ton. The facts concerning Gardeners
association with A. A. Ames and his
administration have already been laid
before the grand jury.
That Ames will never go to the peni-
tertiary is the general belief. He has
more friends in Minneapolis than he
had before he went to New Hampshire
During the last six weeks he has been
walking around the streets of Mime
apolis shaking hands with patrolmen
and renewing the friendships of old

SWAMP LAND CASE,
Contest of Great Importance on in the
49, Duluth Land Office.

.'4 DULUTH, Mimi, April 14-Evidence
Is being heard before the register and
receiver Of the local land office in the
ease of,Jewett Macpherson against the
state of Minnesota. The case is an in
teresting one. inasmuch as the evil
dence is being taken subject to a de-
cls1on Of the secretary of the interior
which has not yet been received, but
which is expected at very early date.
MACPHERSON brought contest
against certain state swamp lands in
section 32-57-12. The decision of the
secretary which is pending will decide
whether contests are allowed to be
brought against swamp lands or not.
Should the decision be in the affirma-
tive the evidence will be allowed.
Should 1T be in the negative the evil
dence will be thrown out and the case
dismissed
This decision of the secretary is be-
Ing awaited with much interest and will
be one of the most important received
at the land office in several years. The
character of much of the swamp land
has changed since the division was
made, and If contests are allowed. It is
believed by many land spectators and
others who know the north country
that much of the land now included in
the swamp land reservation could be
successfully contested

to two applicants who came before him.
