BLAME MAJ. SCOTT
Business Men of Thief River Falls
Say He Is Honest, but
4I Misguided.
His Attitude Over the Red Lake
Reserve Opening Is Annoy
ing to Them.
Special to The Journal.

oPcClal TO Inc JOURNAL.
Thief River Falls. Mimi, March 26-
Members of the Commercial club are
greatly annoyed by the attitude of Major
Scott of Walker, the Indian agent for
this district, in attempting to block the
ratification of the bill for the opening of
the west end of the Red Lake reservation.
Last year the Indians made an agree
ment with the department to dispose of
this land, which is fit only for agricul-
tural purposes. for the round sum of
$1.000.000. Congress refused to accept
this arrangement and instead provided
that the land should be sold at public auc-
tion at a minimum price of 81 an acre.
Major Scott, who has never seen the land
in question. is opposed to the acceptance
OF this agreement by the Indians and
gives as his reason that three quarters Of
the land is swampy and unstable.
Nothing can be further from the truth
than his idea of the west end of the res
ervation and a matter of fact the In
dians stand to receive twice the amount
under the present arrangement that they
could get out Of the old treaty. The peo-
pie of this city have been straightforward
and sincere from the first and desire that
the Indians receive a just remuneration
for their land. They are not so well
pleased with this bill as they were with
the former one, but at least the Indians
should not be the ones to object TO its
provisions, for they alone are the gain
ers.
1t was at first believed that Major Scott
had some ulterior motive in his attitude
in this matter. but it is now generally
admitted that he is an honest though mis-
guided man. There is little doubt but
that the Indians. when they know the
true nature of the BILL will be glad to ac-
cept it's provisions.

Helena, Mont. March 26.--Miss Bessie
Young, over whom what may prove fatal :
tragedy resulted in Missoula, has been in
Helena for some time, having found em-
ployment as bookkeeper. When notified
she was wanted in Missoula she said:
II will go without a warrant. l am :
wanted, 1 presume, to shield my father,4
but will say that will not lie to pro-1i
tect him. There was nothing wrong in
the relations between Dowdell and myself.
We have been engaged to be married for
some time, and it was and is our intention
to do so yet, providing he RECEIVERS, which.
I fervently hope he will.
'The situation is just this: Dowdelfs :
mother is growing old and did not want
him to be married until after her death,
and to this request we acceded. We
planned that 1 would seek work away
from Missoula until after that time, and
then we would be married. DowdeH>
never uttered an improper word to me-,
and my father was clearly wrong in
prejudging the situation, and cruelty at
tacking him with that knife.
/. II cannot stand idly by and see my be-
trothed suffer simply because my father
imagined something that does not exist
I sincerely hope that Dowdell will recover
and that my father will not be punished,
but the latter was clearly in the wrong
in the matter and allowed his temper to
get the best of him.

delayed passenger train late last night

STRENUOUS RENIvALlsT
Rev. Mr.. Bacon stIrs Up All Kinds Of

LUTON, IOWA-As a result of a re-
lgious revival here by Rev. D. G. Bason,
purporting to live in Indianapolis, a
daughter has been driven from home, a
choir has been broken up, friends Of forty
years are estranged, merchants have
stopped selling tobacco, and Bacon has
been threatened by annihilation by mem
bers of secret orders which he attacked.
Ethel Terry, a daughter of D. H. Terry,
a leading merchant, was to have married
Henry Fedderson yesterday, because she
was driven from home by her father.
Terry wanted his daughter to join the
Holiness church, represented by Bacon.
She was given the option of leaving home
or joining the church She chose the for
mer alternative. Fedderson proposed to
marry her at once. At the last moment,
however, her father relented, and the
wedding was postponed until June.
At SaliX, Bacon denounced r. H. Count
ermine, druggist and choir leader. as q
whisky vender, and he was asked to leave
the choir, which he did with the result
that the organization was broken up.
At Luton, while Bacon was denouncing
the Odd Fellows, Eugene Van Auken, a
farmer, rose and shouted:
you're a liar, and if you will come out
side I'll thrash YOU" At another service,
Hugh Montgomery, an Odd Fellow, inter
rupted the service similarly.

LIGNlTE COMBINE A FAILURE

Supply So Great the Usual Trust Measures
Cannot Succeed.
FARGO, N. D.-The failure of the al
legged Ignite trust to secure control Of the
mines of this state was no surprise to the
business men, The plan was gigantic
one and would have meant a big thing for
the promoters. The fact that there are
many places in the state where the Ignite
crops out on the slopes and can be mined
without machinery and that in other
states it is so close to the top of the
ground that farmers make easy money
hauling into town during the winter
months, was rather discouraging to the
trust people. The entire western and
northwestern part of the state seems to
be underaid with the coal, and the supply
is SO unlimited that trust measures will
not be a success. - .'.r5i. -, - -"
Captain H.. A. Edwards, route inspector
and special, examiner of rural carriers, has
been to Grand Forks and Thompson, and
was unable to secure a single applicant
for the positions. The salary is only
$500, from which the carrier has to fur
nish his own rig and keep three horses.
The pay is regarded as entirely made
quate and no one wants the positions. The
captain thinks it speaks we'll for the pros
perity of the country.

It must be apparent to every one that
qualities of the highest order are neces-
sary to enable the best of the products of
modern commerce to attain permanently
to universal acceptance. However loudly
heralded, they may not hope for world wide
preeminence unless they meet with the
general approval, not Of individuals only
but of the many who have the happy
. faculty of selecting, enjoying and learn
ing the real worth of the choicest prod
ucts. Their commentator, consequently,
becomes important to others, since to
meet the requirements of the we'll in
formed of all countries the method OF
manufacture must be of the most per-
feet order and the combination the most
excellent of it's kind. The above is true
not of food products only, but is espe-
cially applicable to medicinal agents and
after Yearly a quarter of a century of
growth and general use the excellent
remedy Syrup of Figs, is everywhere
accepted, throughout the world, as the
best of family laxatives. It's quality is
due not only to the excellence of the
combination of the laxative and carrnin-
ative principles of plants known to act
most beneficially on the system and pre-
sented in the form of pleasant and re-
freshing liquid, but also to the method
Of manufacture Of the California Fig
Syrup Co.. which ensures that uniforml-
ty and purity essential in a remedy in

clan who is well informed and he will
answer at once that it is an excellent
laxative. If at. all eminent in his pro-
fession and has made a special study of
laxatives and their effects upon the sys-
tenn he will tell you that tits the best
of family laxatives, because it is sim
pie and wholesome and cleanses and
sweetens the system effectually, when
a laxative is needed, without any UNI
pleasant after-effects. Every well-in-
formed druggist of reputable standing
knows that Syrup of Figs is an excel
lent laxative and is glad to sell it, at
the regular price of fifty cents per bot
/ tie, because it gives general satisfac-

order to get the beneficial effects Of

genuine, which is sold in original pack

control of the South Dakota Firemens s
Association decided to hold the annual
tournament in Chamberlain. on June 9, 10,
II and y. Sioux, Falls withdrew, and
Chamberlain had no competitor. It was
solely through .Chamberlain's efforts that

ton of not less than $500, will enable the
board of control to hang up purses of .suf-
cient size hereafter to revive interest in
the volunteer departments Of the state. "
In view of Chamberlain's work, it was
conceded that it was entitled to the, first
tournament and hereafter the purses that
will be put up will insure good meetings.
ALL purses and expenses will be paid di-
rectly from the state appropriation and
the local subscription, so that there will
