Theft River Falls, Mimi, May %
Special Agent w. D. McEniry of the
United States land office is In the city
collecting information for the use Of the
officials who will conduct the sale Of Red
Lake reservation lands here on. June 20.
The sale will be a public auction and
Colonel N. j. O'Brien Of Cheyenne, Wyo.
who has conducted all of the land sales
for the government for years, will act
as auctioneer.
Colonel O'Brien is making an examina-
ton Of the land and will remain here until
the sale. Both he and Agent McEniry
are much impressed with the quality Of
the land to be sold and express themselv
as well pleased with the opportunity Of
fcred to the settler on this newly opened
tract Mr.. McEniry points out that this is
the last chance to secure government land
in the Red River valley and for that rea-
son he expects a lively demand for it at
the auction.
I While there are great many strangers
| In the city to look over the reservation,
no very marked rush is expected before
the second week in June, for the majority
will prefer to inspect the land and remain
until the sale, thus avoiding two trips to
this part Of the state.
From the volume Of correspondence re-
ceived by business men and others 1t
seems probable that practically all Of the
land offered will be bought in at the sale.

experience.

Graves several weeks ago. Her father Is a

that when he called to claim her as his
bride he represented himself to be mil
lionaire. She refused tn accompany him
home at the time, but arrived last week
with her entire family.
They were indignant to find Graves had
such a chequered career in the divorce
courts and had squandered most of his
money In alimony ind returned home to-
day, declaring the new Mrs. Graves would

Marquette, Mich, May 23,-The tie-up
of lake commerce and the prospect that 1t
will continue well into the summer fur
nish a situation highly discouraging to
the Lake Superior country. No region
pays a higher price, for In addition to the
higher freight rates consequent on the all
but complete shutting off Of lake traffic. 1t
pays a heavy toll that other sections es-
cape.
There Is not Lake Superior port
worthy Of the name which is independent
OF the lake marine for a busy summer
season Ore and lumber shipments, which
are usually brisk from the arrival Of the
first boat until the departure of the last,
furnish employment to large forces in the
ports proper while a good-sized army in
itself Is necessary to handle the coal which
the mining companies and other corpora
lions import. Further, the activity in these
lines greatly expands railroad traffic with
the interior, demanding additional crews
and increased forces in the shops, not to
mention the stimulus given the mining in
dustry. Now, instead of the railroads add
ing to their forces reduced last fall when
navigation came to an end, they are lay
ing off men in all departments, many hun
dreds of men who otherwise would be al
work are idle at the mines, and operations
at the ore. coal and lumber docks are, ir
general, at q standstill.
The lake marine Is the backbone OF
summer business aCl1VlCy IN the Lake ou-
perior region. Without it, business can
not fail to be dull irrespective Of the de-
preston In the iron trade. Last year the
traffic Of the 500 canals amounted t.
34,675,000 tons. The value of the freight
carried amounted to approximately $780,.
$1,000 and the freight charges totalet
more than s27,000,00O0 During May, II
addition to the April movement, 5,1S8,00(
tons of freight passed thru the canals
Now May Is nearing it's close and the
movement to date is so triffling as to be
hardly worth mentioning.
This exhibits what the tie-up is cost
ing, and may yet cost, but it is only {

wages lost for the men who ought to b.
at work on ship, docks, railroads and a

spectacle of a prosecution being based
upon the results attained by an x-ray ex-
animation of the stomach of a man sus-
pected of robbery and who swallowed a
5000 diamond, part Of the plumber, is
being witnessed in this city In the case
of Edward Buckley, who was placed UNI
der arrest at Miles City several days ago.
Buckley was captured by the officers
while in the act Of trying to dispose of
a diamond, which he said weighed one
and one-half carats, at very cheap fig
ure. While the police were attempting to
pinion his hands behind his back he swal-
lowed the gem. The physicians have adj
ministered emetics to Buckley, but thus
far the sparkler has refused to come up.
Tho Buckley has had several attacks Of
nausea, he laughs at the efforts Of the
DOCTORS and last night lazily stretched
himself upon the operating table when so
ordered. s.
Buckley is charged with robbing the
safes Of the Billings brewery and laundry
companies last week Of about IS 900 in
cash and diamonds.
