About Mloell Ell S
Summer Resort

Eight miles northwest Of st.
John, North Dakota, and within
a two hours drive from RoIla,
lies Fish Lake. This beautiful
body OF water. lying like a gem
az the very heart Of the Turtle
IN fountains, is entirely surround
led BY gently slipping hills cover
ed with forests Of oak, birch,
and poplar.
Fish Lake is irregular in out
line, bling somewhat re-
motely the letter y For this
reason an attempt has been
made to foist the name of Up-
silon upon it. The Star believes
the effort is a mistake. Upsilon
is Greek and will always re-
main Greek to the people Of
North Dak ota. Beside s, the
lake is full Of bass. pickerel and
Inuske llunge, and it deserves the
name Of Fish Lake.
The beauty Of this rnagnifii-
cent sheet Of water is not half
known to the people of Rolette
and ToWner counties. It's att
fractions have scarcely been
heard of outside Of a radius Of
fifty miles. Why Bad roads
for one thing, dense shrubbery
for another. One cannot get q
full and complete impression Of
the lake from a cursory view.
One must row on its placid
waters, following with a lovers
eye its fifteen miles Of verdant
shore, to obtain an ADEQUATE
conception Of its charms. Once
learned the charm lasts and
grows. Capt. Main, OF Cando,
a true lover of nature, has one
of the contest cottages on the
lake, and finds llnending pleas
ure ID rowing around It's beau
tiful islands and following the
sinuous course Of Its numerous
bays.
Access To che lake isnoW easy.
There is q good road from ST.
John, and a brisk team can
cover the distance In an hour.
With q little more work on the
highway the road would be-
passahIe for automob lies. In.
deed two oil three trips have az
ready been made ia tourist cars.
Next season this mode of reach
ing the lake will be common.

the shore has been cleared The

WITHOUT AUTHORITY.
Senate Committee Criticises Action of
Hitchcock and Wilson.

Washington, Dec. 19.=Admitting
that they had no authority of law for
the withdrawal from allotment of
nearly four million acres OF land be-
longing to the five civilized tribes in
the Indian Territory for the purpose or
creating a forest reservation, two
members of the presidents cabinet
Secretary Hitchcock, department OF
the interior and Secretary Wilson, de-
partment of agriculture, endeavored
today to Justify their course by stat
ing they had the best interest of the
Indian at heart.
The explanation was made before a
select senate committee which is in
vestigating affairs in relation to the
property rights of five tribes but the
committee declined to accept it and
Senatora Clark (Wyo.). Teller. Ions
and Brandegee declared that the in
terror department had suspended
statute of the United States without
authority and that it was the duty or
Secretary Hitchcock to Immediately
cancel his order withdrawing the land
from allotment. The same senators
said to Secretary Wilson and CHER
Forester Clifford Pinchott that it was
their duty to withdraw their request
to the secretary OF the interior for a
suspension of the allotments.

BEER TRADE GOOD.
Soldiers Homes Business Pays Annual
Profit of $165.45O.

Washington. Dec. 19.-Beer halls IL
the several branches of the national
home for disabled volunteer soldiers
netted profits to the government aggre-
eating s165 asa during the last year, ac-
cording to the annual report Of Col. John
l. Chamberlain, inspector general.
whose annual report to the secretary Of
war, is one of the strongest recommen-
dations made for the retention of the
canteen feature OF these homes. He
says:
The beer hall believe to be a most
valuable agent in furthering the COM
fort, cOntentment, health and general
welfare of the members. Nearly all
members are of advanced age, their
habits are formed and fixed beyond
possibility of change. Their pensions
furnish the means wherewirh to get
drink and those who desire drink can
and viii get it. In the beer hall they
obtain beer of the purest and best quail
ity and the amount consumed can be,
and is strictly regulated. Should the
beer hall be abolished the money now
spent al the beer hall-in fact, a much
larger sum-will be spent in the neigh
boring saloons and dives and instead
of pure beer. they VIII set cheap beer
and bad liquors. The profits which now
are expended for the pleasure. comfort
and general welfare of members will be
lost to them and will go into the pockets
Of saloonkeepers."

others off. Because of this he was de-
feated for reelection Congress man
Adamson brought the matter to my

a man who had done such a service as
a public official defeated because of
the very fact that he had rendered the
service. He told me that Governor
Terrell had offered Merrill a place.

UPON The CARPET
Railroad Men Before the Com
missioners Today.
Asked Questions About the Car
Shortage.
rs HELD IN PRIVATE.
Then Members of Board 60 to
Kansas City.
Congestion at Galveston Ties
Up Cars Say Officials.

Some personal Investigations of the
Kansas car shortage are being made by
the state board of railroad commission
ers, in addition to the formal letter ask
ing information which was sent out yes
terday to railroad managers, as an
nounced in Tuesdays State Journal
Immediately after acting upon the re-
quest of the interstate commerce COM
mission for information. as announced
the board summoned to its office at
The state house Tuesday afternoon some
of the representatives OF railroads hav-
ing headquarters in Topeka. These
railroad men were in conference with
the railroad commissioners for SOM
time, and each official was asked many
questions concerning the car shortage
and the reasons therefor
The meeting was private. and the ma
ture of the information secured could
not be learned 1t is understood in a
general way that the railroad officials
attributed the car shortage To two
causes. First. a lack of motive power
and second. inadequate terminal facili-
ties. The railroads contend that they
have cars enough If they were able to
use them effectively. They claim that
they have thousands of cars tied up al
terminals because they can not be ur-
loaded.
After securing all the information
possible from Topeka officials the two
members Of the commission present RI
the meeting. "A. D. Walker and Geo. "

they viii talk over the Kansas situa-
ton with the operating officials of all
the Kansas railroads, who are expected
to be in Kansas City to attend he

shortage investigation.
Carr W. Taylor, attorney for the rail-
road commission. will also go to -Gan-
sas City to attend the Investigation
He said today:
II understand that the railroads
claim that they have II 900 cars tied Ip
at Galveston, which are loaded With
grain, and can't be moved out faster
than 800 per day. More cars are COM
ing all the time. OF course such a
condition Is serious. The railroads also
claim that the grain elevators at Kan
more grain can not be shipped in there
at present without simply tangIing up
more cars in the blockade. / am in
formed, however, that there is d auas-
ton about this Some claim that there
IS plenty OF storage room in Kansas

points that I anticipate the intel state
