SQUATTERS MUST GO
Secretary Hitchcock Orders
Squatters of Reserva-
ton Lands

Washington May 17.-Secretary of
the Interior Hitchcock, through the
department of justice, has directed the
United States marshals in Minnesota
and South Dakota to take immediate
action towards removing all "squat-
ters and soooners'' who are swarming
on the lands to be opened in June and
July.
These lands include the big Chip
pewa reservations and Red Lake
lands In Minnesota and the rich Rose-
bud reservation in South Dakota.
The general land Office has been no.
tilted that since the issuance of the
proclamation of the president ..opening
the lands on the Red Lake, Minnesota
and .Rosebud reservations in South
dakota, they are being swsrmed by
''sooners, who are laboring under
the impression that they will be
given first selection when the formal
opening takes place.
It is altogether improbable that
Land Commissioner Orchards will
change the order designating Thief
River Falls as the point where the
auction sale of Red Lake lande will
begin on June co.
The Crookston people are up In arms
and have vigorously protested to Con.
gresham Steenerson and asked that he
have the sale ordered to take place at
Crookston, inasmuch as the local land
Office is located there. But the gener.
al land Office insists that the conven-
ience and welfare of the settlers
should first of all be taken into con.
sideration.
It would be decided hardship fo,
the settlers to 90 to Crookston to make
entry after being awarded a piece ol
land for which they are the highest
bidders and Commissioner Richards
says that he is looking to the interests
of the settlers before that of the inter.
ests of any town or any personal Inter.
est.
The prospective purchasers of Red
Lake lands will have to go to Thief
River Falls anyway to look at the
lands on which they propose to bid
and it would only add to thei,
expense and hardship to go clear to

VICTIM OF PARALYSIS
r. e. Lester Of the Water
Power Co. Seriously

R. E. Lester of the Little Falls
Water Power Co., is at his apartments
In Minneapolis extremely i'll, the result
Of q stroke Of paralysis Saturday night.
Mr.. Lester was stricken suddenly
with a h6morrhage In the brain, the
resultant blood olot..:.oausing almost
complete paralysis. He became uncon-
scious, and later delirious and very
restless. The latest advices are that
there is chance of recovery to the
extent that the patient will become
rational, but it is extremely doubtful
whether he can ever be anything but
a helpless invalid. Mrs. Lester and
trained nurses are in constant atten.
dance.
Mr.. Lester. had stroke about ten
years ago, and never recovered entire
ly from the effects, although he man
aged to attend actively TO business.
Mr.. Lester first visited Little Falls
about 1892 and became impressed
with the Industrial posi- here.
Other matters, however, occupied him
until in the spring of 1861 he came
here and began negotiations which
finally resulted in the sale Of the Wat.
or Power Co. and the Electric & Wat.
or Co. q plant, to capitalists, whose
representative Mr.. Lester was In Lit.
tie Falls.
Later the electric line project occu.
pied him, and the last letter received
from him said that matters were
practically in shape

HANDS.

Brainerd Dispatch: The Brainerd
Arena, W. s. Cox editor and proprie-

sale running to E. K. Woodin. q vel
known resident of this ciCy.
When the news was first circulated
there were all kinds of surmises re-
earding the Significance Of the change,
but none seemed able to talk authori-
tatively.
While the bill of sale of the plant
and the paper runs to E. K. Woodin
1t is understood from Mr.. Woodin
himself that F. L. Barnes and ]. W.
Pinckney are also interested. and tho
three will compose what is to be
known as the Arena Publishing COM
pany. E. K. Woodin will be general
manager, F. L. Barnes editor and J.
W. Pinckney is to have charge of the
mechanical end of the paper. It is
understood that the consideration was
81, 600.
All three gentlemen are we'll and
favorably known in the city.
The paper is to be Independent in
politics.
W. 8. Cox, who during ..his resi-
dence In the city has made many
friends. is undecided as to his future.
He will leave tomorrow night for the
east for short visit after which he
will return to Brainerd for q short

In Utah some small clips have been
sold, 100000 pounds going at 13c; $4,000
pounds at 14c, and $4,000 pounds at
1886, a local mill paying the latter
price. These, of course, were the
southern woods and the prices are
about last years figures. Buyers say
that the woosl are poorer than last
year, being of better staple, but 2
per cent heavier. AS has been pre-
viously stated, some lots, probably
medium clips, have been sold at 14h
@15c.
Texas, California and Oregon.
Texas wool is dull. What is left
of eight months and fall does not
sell at 14@16c as quoted. The secured
basis Of the former is 4S@5Oc and OF
the latter 44@46c.
Oregon wool is pretty we'll cleaned
up and most of what is on the mar
ket is No. / clothing, for which about
4Sc secured can be obtained. There
is very little staple left. 1t would
bring SIC, clean, or ~thereabouts.
California wool is in fair supply but
there is less of it on the market than
there was a few weeks ago. Some pref
ty big holdings have been materially
reduced. For onrthern 10000 and
for middle county 16@l7c are quoted.
Three Boston houses have quietly
bought up about all of this years

LITTLE TRADING IN WOOL ON
BOSTON MARKET.
new CLIP SELLING HIGH
Nothing Less Than Last Years Prices
Rule Western Buying-some
Even Higher.

The condition OF the wool market
shows no improvement, says the Bos-
ton Commercial Bulletin. There is no
denying the fact that business is dull.
The stock on hand in Boston is linn
tied and the traffic is equally so. In
terest is not entirely dead, but it
is certain that there have been fewer
manufacturers on the market than us
ual, and those who have been around
have bought little. Some OF the lar
gest houses report no important sales.
One of these sold 10O, 900 pounds OF
territory and it was the first sale OF
any size made by the concern in three
weeks. The prospects are not bril-
liant. It is expected that the market
will rule quiet, at least for the pres
ent, and that a hand-to-mouth policy
will be pursued by the mills. Should
a change come it would be a surprise.
In the meantime Boston dealers are
figuring on the new clip and giving
more attention to it than to the dis
