in getting together pretty fair au-
dience that night, at ten cents each.
The songs, dances and dialogues went
off all right. They were really fun

UNCLE SAM THEIR BANKER.
Soldiers Have on Dspoa1t WITH lhl
1ovsrHneAt $4,000, 900 Of
heAr SavhH9D.

Tho American soldier In coming tc
be thrifty person, who saves his
money and uses the government Of
the United States a. a depository.
A long time ago, when rates for
money ranged from 1--WE to six per
cent, law was passed by congress
authorizing the war department to
take deposits from soldiers and pay
interest on them at the rate of four
per cent.
OF course, at the time that was q
low rate of interest, but In these
days of two and three per cent. from
the savings banks it is a very high
rate. For a few years after the law
was passed the savings fund amount
ed to almost nothing. Then the SOL
diers realized that this was an excep-
tionally good way of saving, and
many of them started accounts with
the government, says a Warrington
report.
A few years ago a soldier received
al honorable discharge and drew $1o,-
600 from his savings and interest,
and another soldier, who had re-
ceived and deposited cash inheri-
lance during his term Of enlistment,
drew $4,000. But these were excep-
tional cases. However, during the
last fiscal year the soldiers Of the
government deposited with the war
department upward of $4,000, 900, and
that money is now drawing four per
cent. interest. 2* &
At the time that this law was
passed there were many assertions
from the army, and it. was provided
that If soldier deserted he should
lose ali the savings he had on &C.
count. Hence when an enlisted man
gets an amount of money on de
post with the government he be-
comes a better soldier and never de-
serts. - -*:f Ey:Il. ~
His independence and interest III
his work increase i'm proportion with
his savings account, and the govern
ment - thus we'll repaid for the
rather high rate of interest thst ii
allows upon soldier deposits. s,= zf.5 ID

Worry respectfully yours,
JOHN MCKAY,

The above lettor 10 IN reply to an item
which appeared in our issue of the 18th
inst. in which We mildly criticised Indian
Agent Campbell for talking much but
doing nothing to prevent the sale of
liquor to Indians.
From the first statement made by
Capt. Mckay it is evident that he has
been misinformed AZ to the conditions
existing here during tho time Majer
Scott had charge Of this agency. In
stead of drunkenness being prevalent,
as 1t is now, it was very rare thing to
see an Indian drunk in Grand Marais.
This state of affair was due to the fact
that no liquor was being sold here at
that time and the only way 1t could be
gotten was by sending away for 1t, which
was not resorted to excepting on vsry
rare locations. Consequently Maj. Scott
didn't find it necessary to take steps
along this line.
On the other hand Mr.. Campbell, tho
present agent, whom interviewed by re-
porters for tho Duluth newspapers, on
two different occasions last summer,
endeavored to "play to tho grand stand''
by advertising Grand Marais as nest of
"blind pigs" and critioising our citizens
for allowing them to exist, at the same
time telling the public what deplora-
bic amount of drunkenness existed
among tho Indians here and what
strenuous measures he was going to take
to put stop to the sale of liquor to
them. It was evident at the time tho
interviews were published that he had
no intention OF trying to stop the sale of
liquor to the Indians, otherwise he would
not have advertised tho fact beforehand.
II Mr.. Campbell had not talked SO much
he would not now be open to 10 much
just criticism.
Capt. Mckay, in order to show that
hs has been trying to put stop to the
liquor traffic among tie Indians, recites
two personal injury" cases he thinks he
has against tho people Of Grand Marais.
In tho case Of the two Indians mentioned
they were brought here by tho captain
an the Indian poliesman and lodged
in Jail, where they were kept for two
days without q warrant or any other
legal authority. They employed At
torney Titus who secured their release,
only to be nabbed again and taken to
Duluth where the United States Com
missioner, before whom they were taken,
did not find the evidence against them
sufficient to warrant q hearing and they
wore released. In the case Of Drouillard
the captain aatters the ''gang" BY Civ
ing them credit for being smarter than
the United States officials. 2%.=. IS.
Captain Mckay has had experi-
enoe enough, with Indiana and other
visa 70 know that the liquor traffic
cannot b stopped By causing tho arrest.

that was his desire hs should have ooms
