RED LAKE LANDS.
They May Be Opened to Entry During
September.

From Ihursday's DAILY.
Washington special to The st. Paul
Dispatch:
There is very good prospect that a
considerable area of Red lake lands may
be opened to homestead entry some time
during the month of September.
Land Commissioner Richards, since
his return, has taken up consideration of
opening several townships in the ex
IRENE northern portion of the state.
These lands have been surveyed for
some years but the department only re-
Gently has approved the surveys and
perfected some discrepancies.
Senator Nelson has been urging that
the agricultural lands outside the di-
minished Red lake reservation be put on
the market, and, in letters written to
the department, he says that the CLASH
fed lands in the timber country are
only waiting the pillow to become rich
agricultural district.
All that remains now before final ac-
ton is taken, is the reports of Estimator
Ed Warren, in charge of the classical
ton force engaged in estimating the
timber and doing other work under the
provisions of the Morris bill.
1t is understood that the work up in
the Baudette country is now about COM
pleted, and when reports are accepted
by the general land office and Secretary
Hitchcock, the Red lake lands will be
opened. At least thirty days notice of
the time for opening will be given in the
presidential proclamation.
The lands on the diminished Red lake
reservation which is held by the In
dams will not be affected by the order
of the president opening up the other
Red lake lands. Another treaty with the
Indians must be made before the di-
minished reservation lands can be dis
posed of.

my LIFE BLOOD"
Sam Marks Breaks an Ordinance He
Helped to Make.
From Thursdays Daily.

FROM InurSuayS Oduy'
''Mein Colt! Mein Gott!" My life
blood" exclaimed Sam Marks as he paid
his fine of $40 and costs in justice court
Yesterday. He was arrested for evad-
ing the very ordinance which he helped
to frame, being convicted of purchasing
iunket without license. After paying
his fine he concluded that the Joey Bag
stock racket didn't work very well under
Chief Daily's watchful eye, so he went
after more life blood and put up ms
S25 license fee. Thus, one more of Chief
Dailey's troubles are laid aside, for
Marks was pretty sly and it took pref
ty good detective service to catch him.
One time Daily. sent boy to him with
a pair of old boots and rubbers, but the
boy was too we'll dressed and Marks
suspected something and wouldn't buy
the goods. He was not convicted on this
kind of evidence, however, but several
party witnessed to the fact that they
had sold junk to him since his license
expired Republican.

ICE CREAM SAVES A LIFE.
CannibaIs Prefer 1t to a Feas! of
Flesh of Its Compounder.

''Yes," said the truthful looking man
thoughtfully, "my life was saved by ice
cream. And the cannibals were made
very, very happy in their innocent, child
like way. 1t was too late to save the
fat missionary, though. But he was i,
good man and no doubt is better off,
ut was in my younger days and the
ship in which 1 had taken passage for
New Zealand was cast away. All on
board persisted except the fat missionary
and myself. We were cast up on des-
ert BY bad luck it happened to be
inhabited by cannibals. They didn't tell
us they were cannibals in so many
words, but there are some situations in
which actions speak louder than words.
They first emphasized the fact that they
were cannibals to the missionary. Such
a good man he was, tool" sighed the
truthful looking little man. ''And 1 en-
joyed his company so much while he was
with us. But the cannibals enjoyed it
later, so perhaps it was all for the best, -
he added little more cheerfully.,
''Well, after the good missionary had
left us | was sitting around feeling
pretty. blue and wondering when dinner
time would come. Not that | was in a
hurry for it, but my hosts seemed to be.
1t was hot day and [ fell to thinking
how good some ice cream would taste.
Fortunately a freezer of an especial
make for hot climates had been cast up
from the wreck. found some ice in one
of the deep mountain gullies, COW in a
yard near by and in short time L had
supply of the best cream man had ever
tasted Not wanting to seem rude, l
offered some of my cream to the canni-
balls.
Gentlemen, you never saw men so alb
,, solutely delighted with anything as these
poor, innocent savages were with that
cream. They crowded around, fairly beg
ging for more. l made them all they
wanted. Grateful? l could have had
7! anything I wanted on that island. In
fact. they did actually elect me chief,
and while they had dinner on time that
! day the former chief occupied the place
had expected to fill as piece de resist
ance at the banquet. And from that
time until 1 left was the ruler-in fact,
the king of that island. AS far as ma,
, terial advantages went 1 made a great
mistake ever leaving it."
''Why didn't you stay there for good!"
inquired one of the truthful looking little
mans auditors.
Gentlemen" responded the truthful
one earnestly, 81 simply couldn't. My
! duty to civilization called me back.
/ Could l waste such cream-cream that
could only be made with that especial
kind of freezers-on such savages? My
conscience forbade it. 1 returned to
America, bringing my freezer with me.
And now, gentlemen" continued the
| truthfullooking little man, reaching for
his satchel, Il happen to have a sample
of that very freezer here and [ would
take great pleasure in showing it to you.
You will observe"
And as the crowd broke for the door
the truthful looking one observed sadly
to the bartender:
Il declare it's too bad. just as | reach
the climax of my story everybody seems
+, to want to leave. It's enough to dis
courage a man from telling truthful
tale New York Times

-
A wedding was arranged to take place
at the Catholic church at Marysburg
last Tuesday morning, when fair
daughter of jamestown was to become
a happy WIFE But the wedding didn't
happen, because of the nonappearance
of the groom.
The recreant young man was Robert
Hopkins, whose strange action has caus-
ed no little comment among those who
were to attend the event. For a week
prior to the day set for the wedding
Hopkins was very attentive to the young
lady and was profuse in his devotion.
His nonappearance at the hour set for
the wedding has caused the many
friends of the young lady to denounce
him in unmeasured terms, as he should
