City Sportsmen Pouring Into
the Chicken Country
West of Bemidji.
DOGS OF ALL SIZES, SHAPES
AND COLORS WITH THEM.
The Crookston Daily Times Gives
an Interesting Account of
the Annual Influx.
This is the first day Of tn

This is the first day Of the
open season for feathered game
in Minnesota. City sportsmen
are pouring into the chicken
country to the west Of Bemidji.
The Crookston Daily Times Of
yesterday has the following to
say on the annual influx:
s'The trains this morning car
ried the first large contingent OF
city spoltsmen and chicken
shooters all equipped with guns
and dogs. The scene at the
Great Northern as the CANNES
we're being unloaded in boxes,
crates and cages looked very
much like a circus menagerie.
There We're yellow dogs, black
dogs, black and white dogs and
brown dogs. There We're Irish
pointers, duck settlers, English
players and every conceivable
other brand Of dogship.
"And the men who owned
them We're as. varied as the dogs
if not more S. Old men, small
men, young men, gray haired
men, brown haired men and
white haired men, and some men
without hair, all joined in the
little army Of gun carriers.
"The heart of the baggageman
was filled with joy, for he is the
prime factor in the dog traffic,
Eand the owners Of the road do
not attempt to dictate to him in
regard to the carriage Of CANNES.
OF course he receives i tip from
each of the sportsmen he obliges
by taking care of his dog, and
wien IS are in the car and their
Fowners are reasonably wealthy
and generous, why shouldn t his
heart rejoice with the sound OF
I the silver ruble trickling into his
! trouser pocket.
ssThe men who came in search
Hof the chickens are from all over
/ the country, some OF them hav-
! ing Travelled all the way from
/ New York, a distance of over
/ 1000 miles. Some are old hands
at the fall shooting, others are
experiencing their first year at
the sport, but all have money
and are out for a good time. The
liverymen in the city are
swamped with orders for rigs,
and the demand can not be sup.
piled. The game In the valley
should. suffice to satisfy all Of the
hunters, but there is not much
likelihood that very many of the
birds will remain in the fields
after the season closes. "

YESTERDAY
On Bemidji's 5 Application for
Removal of Land Office

BUCKMAN AND BERNARD AP.
PEAR FOR CASS LAKE.

and Crawford Talk in Be-
half of Bemidji.
Washington, Aug. 81. Com
missioner of the Land Office
Richards to day heard those who
desire the removal of the land
office from Cass Lake to Bemidji.
Representative Steenerson Of the
Ninth district made the opening
argument on the question be-.
tween the two cities as to which
shall be considered the more
central and most accessible to
the majority OF entrymen. 3. +.
Crawford and L. H. Bailey are
present to represent the claims
of Bemidji, and Cass Lake is
represented by Congress man
Buckman and A. G. Bernard, of
Cass Lake.
The various classes of lands
were shown. Mr. SSteenerson
ID there We're 6OO,O acres to
be disposed Of, and approximate
ly 100000 of this would go to the
Indians on allotments. Some
thing like 100000 acres of the
pine land is to be absolutely set.
aside as a permanent reserve,
and other large areas are to be
utilized for reforestration. Mr..
Steenerson then raised the same
point thatSw made last week at.
the forestry convention in Min
neapolis, namely, that cut-oyer.
pine lands would never be en-.
tered for homestead or agricul-
tural purposes. Mr.. Steenerson
contended that there were no
+ good roads at or near Cass Lake,
and presented an affidavit to that
effect, and there was no money
had been been ever appropriated
for such purposes.
Mr.. Steenerson talked some
forty-fve minutes and was event
ually called down by Commis-
sioner Richards, who pointedly
indicated that he would like to
hear from the other side, and
Repres entative Buckman rose to
defend the Cass Lake selection,
and pinned upon the wall a map
showing the congressional sub
divisions, and explained at some
length the geography of the ter
ritory. Mr.. Buckman said that
not mile of road, or a single
acre of land Of the great reserva-
ton is nearer Bemidji than it is
to Cass Lake. Mr.. Buckman
showed that Turtle river is
navigable, and settlers can reach
Cass Lake by it. Mr.. Buckman
contended that Mr.. Steenerson
was in error in claiming settlers
would have to be put to addition
al expense by having to pass
through Bemidji in order to enter
to reach Cass Lake.
Mr.. Buckman read letters from
the mayor of Walker and state
- senator from the Cass district
$ and also filed numerous other
letters and mentioned, among
other matters, that his colleague,
J. Adam Bede, was an endorser
of the fact that the commiss sioner
of the land Office made no mis-
take in locating the land Office at
Cass Lake. He also said a ma jor-
ity of the state legislators are on
record in favor of Cass Lake.

gument in behalf of Cass Lake

Commitee Works on Assessment.

OA OAA ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
 Mayor Atkins and the special commit tee of five from the Council appointed to examine and where necessary make changes in the property assessment rolls of citizens of Selma, has been at work all week and is rapidly getting matters into shape. It is understood that many in creases in valuations have been advised, but as the committee has not completed it's task no accurate information can be gotten.
 In hls inaugural address to the Coun- ell in May MT. Atkins pointed out to the legislators of the city that the property assessments were too low and that the municipality could hope for little finan- ciaI improvement until this evil should be remedied At his suggestion the com mittee was appointed and 1t is hoped better condition will be brought about.
