Cass Lake, Oct. 1O.-(Special to
Pioneer. Although he was ap-
pointed as register of the Cass Lake
land Office some time ago and has
furnished good and sufficient bonds,
etc., for the performance of the
duties of register, Lester Bartlett has
not yet assumed his position and
probably will not until some time
next week.
This delay is occasioned by the
course of events at Washington,
where much red tape" has to be
unwound before final papers are
issued, this being especially true in
the matter of appointments in the
u. S. general land offices.

LANDS NEAR UPPER RED
LAKE GAINING SETTLERS
Desirable TilIers of The Soil Are FiIinu
on Beltrami County Government
Lands.

That part of Beltrami county lying
along the north shore of Upper Red
Lake is attracting many settlers,
who are filing on claims at the Cass
Lake Land office. The territory
sought after is in Town 1851, and
that immediate vicinity.
One of the first to file on the
land was J. A. Kolar, who has a
valuable claim on Moose Creek.
He has induced many other settlers
to come up in that country, and
yesterday, at the Cass Lake land
office, Jerry Bush of Highland, Wis,
filed on a claim in 1851, on the
lake front, a quarter of a mile north
of Moose Creek. John Bradell, also
of Highland Wis.,, has filed on a
claim adjoining Kolar. Miss Emma
Bush was one who filed on a claim
near Kolar, the latter's claim being
the NEA of Section 36-155:31.
Another who filed was Frank Jak,
of Pittsburg, Pa, who is on section
35-155-31, northwest of Kolar's
claim.
This is a settlement made up
mainly of Bohemians and they are
settling over quite an area.
1t is the intention of these settlers
to agitate the eventual building of a
road from Moose Creek due north to
the international boundary line at
Baudette: There is already a good
road from Kelliher to Shotley and
the farmers assert they can travel up
the lake shore to Tamarac river,
With a bridge across the Tamarac
the rest of the road would be COM
paratlve]y easy around the lake to
Moose creek.
These improvements would make
the north Red Lake country a very
desirable point for settlement. The
development of there lands, which
have always been considered as
being almost total swamp will add
considerably to the value of Bel
trami county.

leave Cass Lake until Mr.. Bartlett
assumes his office. The latter has
been in Cass Lake for the past two
weeks familiarizing himself with the
details of the office, and he is ready
to begin his official services as regis
ter as soon as the change is COM
pleted at Washington.
Mr.. Bartlett came to Cass Lake
from Buffalo, having lived in the
latter place during the past four
years. Prior to going to Buffalo,
Mr.. Bartlett lived in Minneapolis,

ity of Minnesota law school in 1904.

from Illinois in 1900. He subse-

Sherbon county, and also at Rock

During the past four years, while
living at Buffalo, Mr.. Bartlett was
very active in politics and in the
last campaign was the Wright county
manager for Congressman Lindberg'
Mr.. Bartlett is a man of much
business capacity, and he will un-
doubtedly fill the office of register
in very acceptable manner. He
intends to make Cass Lake his home
and will have his family here to
reside with him.
