Morris tribune., 1907-12-21

first given in honor of Miss Alice
Longfellow who was camping at Des-
barats, Ontario, and she was SO much
pleased that she asked that it be made
an annual Indian festival.
A student of Indian lore for many
years, Mrs. Bowden together with
Mr.. Bowden, who was brought up
among the Ojibways, and has known
their country, customs and chiefs all
his life, spent the past two summers
in the land of the scenes of 'Hiawatha"
drank full of the atmosphere of which
Longfellow wrote, witnessed great
number of performances of the crude
though fascinating drama, and both
Mr.. and Mrs. Bowden were thought
SO much of that they were adopted
into the tribe and given Indian names.
aHiawatha" is the great delight of
all school children. They have read
it, studied it and memorized it, and
Mrs. Bowden's telling of the story,
combined with the most perfect NOV
ing pictures, which Mr.. Bowden
made directly from the drama, give
it fascination for both old and young
that can hardly be realized.

The department. has also practically
decided on purchasing new hose
wagon such as is now in general use
in cities of this size. It is hose
wagon very similar to those used by
the departments in the twin cities
save that it will be lighter in con-
struction. The ''boys" have long felt
the need of different apparatus but it
was not until this fall that they felt
that the city could afford it.
The burden of the purchase will not
fall entirely on the city however for
at the last meeting of the department,
it was unanimously voted that the
net proceeds of the annual ball
should be applied on the purchase
price of this wagon.
The annual ball will be given in the
Armory on Jan. 10th. Messrs. Randall,

PICTORIAL HIAWATHA.
Next Number Of Lecture Course on
Saturday, Dec. 2Sth.

The next number of the Congrega-
tional Ladies Aid lecture course will
be Katherine Ertz- -Bowden's pictorial
"Hiawatha," and will be given on
Saturday evening, Dec. 2Sth. Single
admission, so cents, children Is cents.
Longfellow's beautiful legend, "Hia-
watha," had it's inspiration among the
Ojibway Indians of Northern Michi-
gan and Southern Ontario, and there
every summer, select members of the
tribe, surrounded by native atmos-
phere, reproduce the poem in drama
tic form. All the favorite characters
are introduced, including Hiawatha,
Minnehaha, Chlbiabos, Shawondasee,
Nokomis, the Ancient Arrow Maker,
The Black Robe, Pau -Puk.K Wis,
Iagoo, Wabeno, Kwasind, Wabun,
Snake Dancers, Braves, Squaws,
Papooses, etc.
The production of "Hiawatha" by
the Ojibways is as fascinating as it is
novel. The stage is an island in the
lake; but the Indians do not stay on
the stage-they are in the water, on
the main land, on the high cliffs,
everywhere almost. The action of
the play begins with the assembling
of the Chiefs-running, padding,
scrambling. Then the story is taken
up and old Nokomis is singing a
lullaby-a lullaby much older than
these United States-to the infant
Hiawatha, "Ewayea! my little owlet."
Hiawatha next appears as boy of
eight, learning to shoot the arrow;
then as handsome, grown man,
wooing and winning Minnehaha.
There is wedding feast full of dances
and games and the chase for Pau
Puk- Kee-Wis changes to a beaver
and his pursuer kills him. Then
comes the last scene of all, Hiawatha s
departure toward the setting sun.
The above is merely an outline.
There are canoe races, canoe fitting
contests, strange dances, songs, etc.
1t is great honor to be selected
for the part of "Hiawatha' and he is
reverenced by the tribe somewhat
like the Christus at Oberammergau.
The Indian drama of "Hiawathao was
arranged by L. o. Armstrong and

Underwriters Here,

For the past three days two men
have been in the city engaged in
looking over the business and other
buildings. Quite little comment
was occasioned thereby until it de-
veloped that they were re-rating the
town for fire insurance purposes.
This is long needed step.
The rates now in force were made
at time when there was very little
if any fire protection compared to the
force and equipment, now owned by
the City. Many new and better con-
structed buildings have been added.
Others that were fires traps have
ceased to exist or have moved to
points where they can not spread a
fire.
All of this, combined with the new
hose house ON the west side ought
to act towards the reduction of the
present rates in most instances though
the reduction will not be very great.
Morris tribune., 1907-12-21
MORE FIRE PROTECTION
Hose House ON the West Side and
Other improvements.

Hose House ON the West Side and
Other improvements.
The Morris Fire Department has
recently succeeded in procuring,
through the aid of the City Council, a
small building which is located on the
west side school grounds. This build
ing has been built over, a cement
floor put in and other improvements
added and makes very suitable
house for hose cart.
On Thursday the department. NOV
ed its old hose cart and installed it in
the new house so that there is now
a hose cart for use in the 4th ward
without the long haul from the Cen.
trail Fire Engine House.
This makes an improvement that
has long been needed as in case of
fire in some houses on the outskirts
of town it was practically impossible
during bad weather to get the appara-
tus to the fire in time to save the build
ing. This will now be changed, for
witfsune cart on the west side, the
department can respond to fresfthere

SALOONS REDUCED TO EIGHT
Flatner Application not Granted and
Brandt Refused.

At the regular meeting of the city
council on Wednesday evening, the
application for liquor licenses made
by M. o. Flatner, A. Brandt and
Phillip Dohm were all consi .ered, but
that of Phillip Dohm was the only one
granted.
After the usual preliminaries were
disposed of, Supt. J. R. Brown, of the
Indian school, appeared before the
council, and expressed his desire that
the number of saloons in Morris be
restricted as much as possible, that
while he has been superintendent
here, the Indian boys had been able
at different times to obtain liquor.
The saloon is an institution that must
be watched, and the less there are to
watch the better, was the burden of
Mr.. Browns talk. @. B. Randall also
made some remarks along the same
line. George Hogan then presented
a petition from a number of citizens
asking that license be granted to
M. o. Flatner, and also spoke in
favor of the prayer of the petition.
The real question of the evening
then came up, whether or not the
Flatner application could be consider
ed at the time. City Attorney Ormond
was asked for his opinion, and gave
a long explanation in support of his
position that the Flatner application
could not be taken up without set
ting a new day for hearing. The
explanation was technical and cited
several supreme court decisions. MIR.
Ormond deduced from these decisions
that the council in passing on an
application for a saloon license acted
as judicial assembly, that the adver-
tisement of the day of hearing was
necessary to give jurisdiction, and
that when the council allowed the
time to go by without action, juris-
diction was lost. 1t will be remember
ed that last week Wednesday was the
day set for hearing the Flatner appli-
cation, bu. that at that time no action
was taken.
G. B. Randall concurred in Mr..
Ormond's view, but w. II. Cherry
took the opposite view, basing his
argument on an Interpretation of the
Morris tribune., 1907-12-21

city resolution regarding the number
of saloons, that there should be nine
saloons, and that the state constitution
guarantees equality of rights and pri-
vileges. Alderman Vinje also argued
for the same view. The matter was
thoroly discussed.
Alderman Vinje then moved the
Flatner application be taken up.
Pres. Luud called Alderman Watzke
to the chair and seconded the motion.
The motion was then put and lost,
Aldermen Yinie and Lund voting for
it, and Aldermen Gutter and Watzke
against.
A hearing was then had on the
application of Phillip Dohm and there
being no objection, the license was
granted.
A hearing was then had on the
application of A. Brandt, who wishes
to reopen the Hamm saloon. OBJ
lection was made by S. Stewart and
others to allowing any more saloons
to open. Alderman Watzke moved
that the application be denied on the
ground that there were saloons
enough. The motion carried.
A notice was then read from L. j.
Schlattman relative to his driving in
to the open sewer trench two weeks
ago, as result of which one horse
died, and claiming damages in the
sum of $3.50. The matter was referred
to the committee already appointed.
