Fergus Falls. Mimi, May THE
taking of testimony in the $4,000
government suit against the Common
wealth Lumber company is under way.
The company is represented by A. Y.
Merrill and Judge Lancaster of ST.
Paul, and j. w. Mason of this city,
while District Attorney Houpt, Assist
ant Attorney AL j. Smith and Special
Attorney Maynard Of Washington,
D. c., are handling the case for the
government. The company had a
right to cut the dead and down timber,
but the government is endeavoring to
prove that it also stripped the land Of
everything green.
Lieutenant Governor Jones, as
president of the company, was the
first witness called by the govern
ment.
Indian Witnesses.
John McKaig, Charles Uran and
John McDougall, the company's fore
men, testified to cutting timber on GER
tain government sections. Sam Fine
day, an Indian, testified to visiting the
camps of Uran, McDougall, McKaig
and several other foremen and swore
that two-thirds of the timber he
found there was green.
Frank Smith, another Indian, sWore
that he visited several of the same
camps while acting as government
agent In the inspection of Indian al
lotments, and that two-thirds Of the
timber was green. He testified thai
some Of the finest white pine on the
reservation was cut, and made 6
special trip to Leech Lake to report
the matter to Captain Mercer, who
was then In charge, and that Mercer
'just laughed" The charges agains
Mercer are some of the sensational
features of the suit.
James Bassett, third Indian, tes
titled to working in one of the com
pany's camps for a month, and said hi
quit because he could not endure tt
see so much fine green timber being
cut down. He stated that when hi
quit there was nothing but green tim
Der being cut.
1t Is presumed that the compan.
will endeavor to prove that it cut onl.
the dead timber.

just about keep the mill going during the
season. The pile runs from the mill well
down the bay toward the big elevators

out to the dock lines, which is nearly half

Helena, Mont, May All eyes of
the democratic fold are turning to-
ward Great Falls, where, on the 18th,
will be held the state convention to
choose six delegates to the st. Louis
national convention. AS is usual in
Montana politics, Heinze, the young
Butte mining millionaire, who has as
pirations to succeed Paris Gibson in
the United States senate, is the un-
known quantity.
A well-known democratic authority
asserts that Hearst will fail abjectly
in the effort to \ capture Montana
delegation. Judging by the editorial
references in his papers to Bryan s
late Chicago speech, Senator w. A.
Clark, who has heretofore been very
friendly to Mr.: Bryan, has given the
Nebraskan the cold shoulder. And
as Bryan and Hearst have gone thru
the present preliminary hand in hand,
1t is held that, in order to be con-
sistent, Senator Clark will also have
to pass up Hearst.
In addition to this, it is known that
Senator Clark bears no great personal
liking for the New York congress
man. On the other hand, the leading
organ of the DAILY faction has bit.
terly antagonized Hearsts candidacy
from it's inception. And with Clark
and DAILY leaders fighting him, it is
difficult to see how Hearst can hope
to capture the delegation unless
Heinze should control the convention,
which is, perforce, improbable.
The consensus has been summar-
lied by leading democratic poll
tician in this wise:
after a careful analysis Of senti-
ment, I incline to. the belief thai
Montana,s delegation will be composed
of Parker men-not necessarily sc
| instructed, for the convention viii
hardly instruct the delegation, bu
Parker men at heart. I have seer
| what purports to be a list of the del.
egates, and among them I can fine
no Hearst men,"

COMFORT AT THE WORLDS FA1F

COMFORT AT TILE WORLDS FAIR.
The comfort for the visitor to an
exposition was never the subject for
so much intelligent thought and pre-
paration as it has been at the Louis
lana Purchase Exposition at st. Louis.
One of the features that cannot fail
to appeal to the visitor is the conven-.
fence and comfort afforded by the In
side Inn, d structure of 2,257 rooms,
covering an area of 400 by 500 feet,
wholly within the Worlds Fair
grounds.
Probably no hotel ever built COM
mands a view so diversified or grand.
From the wide verandas that sur
round the mammoth structure a Won
derful panorama spreads before one.
Many of the state buildings, with their
giant and magnificent structures, pre-
sent their most attractive facades.
Some of the foreign buildings may be
seen, and the forest Of towers and tur-
rets, domes and minarets, rising above
the great exhibit palaces and seen
through the forest of real trees that
surround the hosiery, give token Of
the other glories thattlie beyond.
A leisurely walk Of five minutes will
land the visitor on the main terrace in
front Of Festival Hall, the center Of
the main picture of the exposition,
the grandest spectacle ever produced
by man. Another five minutes walk
and the visitor may find himself on
The Pike, a street of amusement, a
full mile long, with the shows of all
nations in gay and enticing array.
In the ten minutes walk many of
the main exhibit palaces have been
/ passed. These comprise the largest
and grandest collection of architect
ura1 triumphs ever assembled In any
one place. Notwithstanding its close
i proximity to these scenes Of gaiety
and splendor, noise and confusion, the

present. The remainder will be turned

ments in November.
