RED LAKERS HAVE LITTLE
RESPECT FOR GAME LAWS
Despite Orders Given Agent Allen to Stop Indians Killing
Game Off Reservation, the Reds Killed Many Moose
~~. on North Shore Of Red Lake.

the Indians have been allowed to
utterly disregard the game laws at
all times. !: ~.
1t is said by at least two reputable
homesteaders that Indians not only
killed moose and deer, for their own
domestic use, but that they have
sold the meat of the animals to crews
working on the lake gathering up
logs. No positive proof which
would convict in a justice court
could be obtained for use against
the Indians as the settlers fear that
they might be burned out and their
property destroyed if they testify
against the Indians.
Mr.. Rutledge will take up the
matter of the Indians killing game
out of season with the Game and
Fish Commission at St. Paul and
also with Congressman STEVENSON
and the. officials Of Indian depart
ment at Washington.
Last winter the Indians at Red
Lake killed quite number of
caribou on the north shore of Red
Lake, off the rese1 walton. Mr..
Rutledge took up. the matter with
Senator Clapp and Congressman
Stevenson. and through them, with
the Indian department at Washing
ton, with the result that the Game
and Fish Commission received assur-
ances from c. T. Larrabee, acting
commissioner of Indian affairs at
Washington, that the killing of any
game contrary toIthe laws of the
state of Minnesota by members of the
Red Lake band should be stopped;
and in compliance with that
assurance; orders were issued to
Earl w. Allen, Indian agent at the
Red Lake Agency, to take immedi-
ate steps to have the killing stopped"
For time the Indians remained

no chance of taking prizes would
have won premiums. AS a result
some of the classes were not filled
out completely.
This year the show has $4,000 to
pay out in premiums which makes it
the more probable that an exhibitor
can make winning easier than last
year.
Farmers, stock raisers and feeders
should not forget that this is their
show; that there has been provided
here an opportunity for the COMPARE
son of stock of all kinds which can
not but prove of educational value.
The benefit is direct and personal.
No great movement in any field of
life was ever advanced by one mans
experience alone. 1t is the exper-
fence of many men sifted and CON-
pared which has made progress,
both in live stock and other affairs.
The show here offers a home school
in live stock raising. The best that
the farm or feedlot produces is what
is wanted. They may not be top
nOtcherS but if interest is taken
there may be top notchers on the
list in the near future. 1t is to
awaken and encourage friendly
rivalry among stock raisers and
broad interest in live stock raising
that the show is financed.
The management of the show has
been generous in the matter of
premiums as may be seen by COM
parison with the premium list of a
we'll known and established show in
the matter of prizes for the best
carlot of hogs in the two classes:
lard hogs and bacon hogs. The.
show referred to offers as follows in
each class: First, $40; second SIS;
third SIS and sweepstakes of SIS.
The Northwestern Live Stock
Show in the same class offers the
following prizes: First, SIS; second,
$50; third $40 and fourth, $40 and
sweepsteaks of 500.
The same regard for the exhibitors
interest is shown throughout the
entire arrangement of prizes.

NORTHWESTERN LIVESTOCK
SHOW NOVEMBER II TO 20
Liberal Prizes to be Offered to Exhbitors-Of Special
Interest to Farmers. $1,000 in Premiums.-South
St. Paul Making Preparations for Event.

The favorable tone of the govern
ment crop report indicating that the
corn crop will be a great deal better
than was at first anticipated has
given encouragement to the manage
ment of the Northwestern Live Stock
Show, which will be given at South
St. Paul November 18th to 10th ex-
elusive, and they now feel that there
is no question but that the exhibits
will outnumber those originally ex-
pected. Their hopes are not based
alone upon the improved outlook for
good corn crop, which is an essen
tial factor, but they have been
encouraged by the expressions of
willingness to exhibit which have
come from North Dakota and by
advices from South Dakota and Wis
consin stockraisers that they will
make entries at the coming show.
The manage ment of the show
desires at the present time to draw
particular attention of farmers and
stock raisers to the fact that they
need not withhold stock from exhi-
bition at this show because it is not
as good as some that has taken
prizes at the International Show at
Chicago.
The stockraisers in this terrisory
should understand that thus far
far Minnesota, North and South
Dakota and also Wisconsin and
Montana, and especially this section
which surrounds the St. Paul market
and is eligible to the entry lists, have
never raised very fine grade of
stock either of cattle, hogs or sheep.
The exhibitors therefore are COM
peting against other farmers or
stockraisers who are not veterans in
the business. They are not COM
peting against professional show
herds and they are getting up
against the same proposition which
they would meet if they exhibited at
the International.
1t is a certainty that many cattle,
hogs and sheep which were withheld
from the show last YER because
farmers felt that they would stand

There will be some dead Indians
around the north shore of Upper
Red Lake if the Indian agent at
Red Lake Agency does not put a
stop to the practice in vogue among
the band of Red Lakers of going tc
the north shore during the summer
months and early fall and indies.
criminately killing moose, and deer
and an occasional caribou, contary
to the laws of laws of the state"
Such is the sentiment which pre-.
walls among the white settlers about
the Upper and Lower Red Lakes,
who have taken homestead in that
part of Beltrami county and are
hewing out homes in the wilderness
and making farms.
This sentiment was expressed to
A.G. Rutledge of this city, state game
warden, who has just returned from
an arduous trip to Shotley and the
north shore of Upper Red Lake,
the Tamarack river, the east shore
of Upper Red Lake and Moose
creek, Popple Creek, the two Deer
Rivers and Rice Lake, on the north
and northwest shores of Upper Red
Lake, where he went to investigate
the reports that the Indians have
been killing moose in that vicinity.
Mr.. Rutledge found that the In
dians had, some two weeks ago,
been camping on each of the creeks
and rivers mentioned Except Tam
arack river) and the skulls of not
less than twenty moose and ten deer
showed plainly that the Indians
have been very successful in their
hunt for big game.
Mr.. Rutledge talked with many of
the settlers in the vicinity of the
lake and all were loud in their pro-
test against the manner in which
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1908-08-08

some business matters which brought
him to the city, he spent the time
in calling on number of Crooks
ton friends. Mr.. Mccarthy says
that the conditions in Beltrami
county are excellent this year and
it is destined to become one of the
most important counties in northern
Minnesota. He believed that Bel
trami will push Polk somewhat for
first place in state fair exhibits.
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1908-08-08

within their old haunts in the north
end of the lake to kill game, but
this summer they have again been
killing moose and deer at the north
end of the lake, several miles re-
moved from the reservation lines.
Believing, as. we do the settlers
who are farming in Beltrami county,
that the Indian has no more right
relative to the game laws than a
white man, Game Warden Rutledge
is taking up the matter with the
Game and Fish Commission, with
the result that an order will probably
be issued in unmistakable language
to forthwith arrest every Indian
who is caught hunting or fishing off
the reservation out of season or in
any way contrary to the game and
fish laws.
The trip made by Mr.. Rutledge,
who was accompanied by Deputy
Sheriff Andrew Johnson, was a very
arduous one. They walked by night
through swamps with their feet wet
and also slept in the open on the
shores of the lake with nothing to
protect them from the weather.
The trip of the two men will be of
much benefit to the State Game and
Fish Commission in that it will place
the settlers around Red Lake in
closer touch with the Commission
and will undoubtedly result in their
cooperation for a better enforce
ment of the game and fish laws of
the state, especially with reference
to the Indians, who have been dealt
with rather leniently by the CON-
mission in former years, owing to
the desire not to create unfavorable
sentiment against the Commission in
making the noble Red man. obey
the law.

The Pioneer man has received a
letter from r. w. Reed, who recently
left on trip to New York and

for Tuesday, August II, for the pur-
pose of voting $4,000 for new
and modern waterworks system for
this city.
The old waterworks system was
built number of years ago when
the city was but small village and
the requirements of the present day
has far out.grown the village system.
One has but to visit the present
tower and see the shaky condition it
is in to be fully satisfied that it is
necessary that the system should be
rebuilt.
The tower, as it stands today, is
in poor condition and may last for
some time. The condition which
the timbers are in which support
this tower may cause it to fall at
any time.
It is the intention of the council,
if the bonds carry, to construct an
adequate and modern waterworks
system, including pumps, tower,
tank and a large cement reservoir.
Additional mains will be laid and it
is the intention to lay a 10-inch
main from the pump east on Third
street to Beltrami avenue, and north
on Baltrami avenue to Twelfth
street; also an S-inch main from the
pump north on Park avenue to
Fourth street, east on Fourth street
to Irving avenue, and north on
Irving avenue to Fourteenth street,
with smaller connected mains and
feeders where most needed.
This system interferes with the
present system very little and most
of the work done will be in addition
to the present system, giving us
that much more water mains.
The special committee having
charge of the waterworks system
believes that this work can be done
and that the present well will supply
all needs of water. If not, the
mains can be extended from the we'll
to Lake Irving, and one of the
pumps placed there, and the filter
system put in and connected with
the proposed plan, without abandon
ing any of the proposed system.
A great many of our people have
complained at the high rate of
insurance we are paying. This is
due in measure-to our lack of fire
protection, caused by the condition
of our waterworks.
The Pioneer has made inquiries as
to the insurance rate paid at Grand
Rapids and the comparison for one
years insurance is as follows:

brick or stone foundation.
