INVESTIGATION

Government Will Look Into
Alleged Forgery of In
dians' Names.

Washington, Jan. Is. Several
affdavits have reached Washing
ton in which charges are made
that petition which was recent
ly sent to congress by the Com
mercial Clubs Of St. Paul and
Minneapolis in favor. OF retain
ing the national forest reserve in
Northern Minnesota is fraudu-
lent and the names signed to it
are forgeries. Two leading
chiefs and Rey. Charles. Wright,
an educated Indian, swear that
the petition was never circulated
on the reservation, but was writ
ten in Minneapolis, and the
names purporting to be attached
to it we're taken bodily from a
document which Mr.. Wright
himself was bringing to Wash
ington. An investigation will

Report Of Committee on
Salaries Is Accepted After
Being Amended.
COUNCIL CUTS PAY OF MAYOR
AND ALDERMEN.
All Bids For Printing Charter and
Furnishing C0rdWOod are
Rejected.

The city council held a regular
meeting at the council cham bers
last night with seven members
present, Aldermen McTaggart
and Bowser being absent. The
council allowed all bills presented
with the exception of one amount
ing to $195.5O claimed by the
sheriff Of BeItrami county for
boarding prisoners during the
months of Novem Der and Decem-
Der, 1905, com mitted to the
county jail by the Justices of the
peace Of the city. This bill was
referred to the city attorney,
who will advise the council at it's
next meeting.
The health committee in it's
report last night recommended
the acceptance of a contract with
DR.. w. r. Morrison by the terms
lof which he will act as city
physician at salary of $25 per
month, he to give medical and
surgical treatment to all paupers
resident in the city, the city to
furnish all medicines. The re-
port was adopted and the city
attorney was instructed to pre-
pare a contract. The health
committee was instructed to
make report at the next meet
ing, the report to include some
recommendation as to the regula-
ton of the city dump grounds.
| The report Of the committee on
salaries was adopted after several
changes had been made. The
salary of the mayor was cut
from $500 per year to $3.50 per
year; the salary Of the aldermen
was fixed at $40 per year instead
$25 per year; and the health
com missioner salary was
raised from 1925 to $500 per
year. The report as adopted by
| the council is as follows:

All bids for the printing of so
copies Of the city charter, pre-
sented at the last meeting of the
council, were rejected on recon-
mendation of the committee on
printing, which reported that 10
typewriter copies Of the charter
could be secured for $50. The
recommendation for the reiec-
ton of the bids was made by the
committee for the reason that it
will probably be necessary in the
near future to amend the charter,
so that the expenditure at the
present time of several hundreds
of dollars would be useless, mas
much as it would be necessary
to do the work over again as
soon as the charter was amend
ed.
The matter of compelling the
houses of i'll fame located in the,
swamp west of the city to take
out liquor licenses was taken up
and discussed and the city attor-
ney was instructed to investigate
the matter.

BROWN ON INFRINGEMENT.
Sheriff Brown stated that he had been
waited on by committee which con-
suited him regarding the matter OF re-
trenchments in the police department.
II 1t were necessary he could drop
two men from each watch and one Of
fcer from each of the country dis
trIcts. This would save 1920 a month.
More than this he would be unable to
do without seriously impairing the eff
ficiency of the force.
COX'S VIEWS.
Cox remarked that the expenses OF
the department could easily be cut
down $1,000 month. He said that
there were two court officers where
one could do the work, that there were
too many lazy specials, that there were
two men being paid as mounted pa
tromen who were never seen on
horse, that there were FIVE Chinese Of
ficers where one would suffice, that the
Deputy Sheriff had an unnecessary as,
sistant clerk, that there were two hack
inspectors where one would do, that
one special drawing $40 month was a
chronic boozer and that hack expenses
for the department rose to $3.50 last
month.
MORE TIME WANTED
The upshot of the matter was that
the committee asked for more time in
which to put their findings in shape for
presentation to the board. This was
granted.

Dear Sir: Since my letter of the

have been informed that there is so
much road work in hand with but

Under the circumstances, and with
desire to expedite this work before the
rains set in, I beg to say that the par
ties at interest are willing to give two
hundred and fifty dollars (s25O) to in
stall a stone crusher, and furnish four
laborers to keep up a constant supply
OF stone which Is to be had on the
premises, II the constructive work can
be started at an early date.
