ANIMALS sgNr 70 PRESIDENT.
Gifts Made Are Mostly Sent to the
: biological Park.


No Presidents family has been the
recipient of as many animal pets as
has that of President Roosevelt.A This
is undoubtedly due to the widespread
knowledge Of the presidents fondness
for hunting and his interest in every.
thing pertaining to brute creation.
With few exceptions the animals pre-
scented to the president or his children
have been sent to the Geological park
in Washington.
Gifts OF wild and domestic animals
from admirers in foreign countries
have not been infrequent. One Of the
most interesting presents Of this kind
was that Of King Meneik Of Abys-
sinia, who sent the president an Ara

token IL hts esteem and admiration

rREAsuRE PROTECTED BY ME.
Effort to Be Made to Reach Stored
Riches in india.

A good story of hidden treasure
comes from India on the authority Of
the late tutor to the heir apparent of
Bhopal
In the hills of Amarkantak, in the
central provinces, close to the sources
of the Narbada and the Son, there
stands an old deserted fort called ran
Bakalli, wherein, so tradition says, are
collected vast. stores of treasure and
Jewels formerly the property of the
Hindu rajahs of the country, but for
ages no one has been able to gain ac-
cess to the fort because it is sur
rounded by miles of impossible mud.
The late Sir Richard Temple when
lieutenant governor of Bengal tried to
reach it, but his elephant stuck deep
in the mire and he was forced to ,aban
don the quest. II is now suggested
that a syndicate should be formed to
exploit this treasure house by means
Of balloons, and a Calcutta capitalist
has promised large subscription to
ward the enterprise.
The question which puzzles most
people is how this ocean of mud ever
came to invest the fort An effort
viii be made to enlist the cooperation
of the maharajah Of Rewa, the ruler
Of the district, who is said TO be an en-
lightened, prince, though how it comes
that he has not already taken steps
to solve the mystery Is not stated.

Anderson & Johnson Acquitted.

Judge Bailey and jury in NUM-

of the State of Minnesota VS.. Ander-

The case arose from an order
received by Anderson & Johnson
from Pagan Bros. company, who
placed an order with them for men
for their camp No. IS, located on
the Akeley Spur, of the Red River
Lumber company.
The order as placed with Messrs.
Anderson and Johnson was for ten
sawyers and fifteen swampers and in
accordance with this order Anderson
& Johnson shipped these men to
Akeley on the 16.
Upon the arrival at the camp the
men were asked to 60 to Camp 9 Git
being Fagen Bros custom to ship
all their men to one camp and from
there distribute them to the sur
rounding camps). This they did
and the forman of Camp 9 told
them that their saws were not ready
and that the filler would have them
ready so that they could start work
at noon. After appraising them of
this fact Mr.. Lambert, the foreman,
went to another camp to look after
some work there.
Upon his return he found that J..
P. Grannis (the complaining wit

had come back to Bemidji. Mr..
Grannis swore out a warrant for the

Anderson and Johnson had furnished
the men according to orders given
them and the jury promptly brought

NEW COMPANY ORGANIZED
TO HANDLE FARMING LAND
Northern Minnesota Dairy Farm Land Company" With
100000 Capital Takes Over Beltrami and Clear
~ water County Dairy Lands - XII.

in other parts of the United States.
And the exhibit did much toward
A new land company with a
capital of $15O,OOO, was organized
at Madison, Wis, a few days ago,
which will take over the property
known as the Samuel Mcclure and
the Clearwater Logging company's
lands, in Beltrami and Clearwater
counties, Minnesota, which have
been held for the past year and a
half by the Donald Land & Lumber
company.
The new company, which has
been named the Northern Mime
sofa Dairy Farm Land company:
will have Offices in Bemidji and also
at Madison, Wisconsin, the secretary
of the company continuing to reside
at Madison. w. R. Mackenzie of
this city is one of the directors of
the company, and he will have
charge of the local office, which will
be located in the Schroeder block,
corner of Fourth and Minnesota.
The lands which this company
has taken over are located in the
Towns of Liberty, Buzzle, Maple
Ridge, Roosevelt and Alaska, in
Beltrami county; and Dudley, Cop
ley, Hoist, Leon, Sinclair and
hammers, in Clearwater county, and
comprise some of the very choicest
dairy farm lands of north central
Minnesota.
The fine grasses, clovers, grains,
and root crops which were grown on
these lands, and which we're exhibited
at the Minnesota State Fair and at
Madison, this fall, attracted wide
attention: It was generally con-
coded by visitors from all parts of
the country who attended the
Farmers Congress that the native
and tame grasses, the alfalfa, the
red, alsike and white clovers in this
exhibit were superior to any grown
