FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Nov. 1S.-Doc-
tor Lowell, director of the Lowell OBJ
servatory at this place, has been ask
ed by the German national museum,
an institution in which all of the fund
al entail discoveries and inventions in
science are being preserved, for rec
ords of the observatory's work, to be
placed on exhibition in that institu-
ton.
The material asked for comprises
a series of photographs of Mars and
Jupiter, spectra of Mars, showing wa
ter vapor and comparison spectra;
spectra of other planets and the Char
acteristic star spectra exhibited at
Dresden last summer by Slipher.
The honor which has thus been con-
ferred by the German national mu-
scum upon the observatory here is
considered one OF the greatest, says
Decor Lowell, and this is the first
American observatory TO be distin-
guished in this way.

SNOW STORMS
SEEN ON MARS

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Dec. 19.-Di-
great increase November 16. The sec
reports that the first apparent antarc-
tic snowfall of the season has been
observed here on Mars.
Two patches appear at the altitude
62:72 longitde 1OO;15O. The first was
November IL and was small, with a
grea increase November 16. The sec
ond on the latter date was observed
for the first time.
This is of special interest because
it is exceptionally early for the first
Marian antarctic snow and from he
fact that the second and smaller
patch is where the patches fingered
in melting last August beyond the
rest of the polar cap.

TO FORCE APPEAL
TO THE PEOPLE
OPPOSITION LEADER IN LORDS
NOTIFIES PREMIER FINANCE
MEASURE is DOOMED.

LONDON, Nov. 16.-The terms of
Lord Lansdowne's motion to reject
the budget of which he gave formal
notice in the Eouse CT lords Coday
were communicated to Premier AS
quith and discussed by the cabinet
council. Unionists anticipate that 800
peers will support Lord Lansdowne,
while supporters of the government in
the house of lords number only 49,
On the rejection of the budget it is
expected that the premier will move
in the house of commons a resolution
condemning the peers action, affirm
ing the sole right of the commons to
deal with matters of taxation and de-
claring the peers attempt to force a
dissolution unconstitutional.
Lord Lansdowne's action Will be
considered Monday. 1t reads:
81 move that this house is not jus
titled in giving it's consent to this bill
until it has been submitted to the
judgment of the country"
This undoubtedly seals the fate of
the financial bill and assures a~general
election in January.
What further course Premier Asquiti;
will take is not known, but it is quite
unlikely that the cabinet will resign
unless the government is defeated at
the elections.
Arthur j. Balfour, leader of the OPP
will
deliver a speech at Manchester tomor-
row night which probably will out
line the unionist election manifesto.
Winston Spencer Churchill already
is out with a liberal manifesto
In a letter on the situation he says
that the power to force dissolution is
the prerogative of the crown, and that
finance is the exclusive privilege Of the
house of commons Therefore, he ar

The members of the Bemidji fire

the meeting of the department held
last evening, delegates were elected

tive committee of the North western
Minnesota Firemen's Tournament
association, which will be held at
Crookston January 10th, John Good
man, Floyd Brown and Charles
Collins forming the committee

The fremen also held their annual

E. Wolverton to intervene in the
suit instituted by the United States
government to have declared void
the patent now held by the South
ern Pacific company to the lands
contained in the old Oregon and
California Land Grant mi southern
Oregon. The original grant was to
Oregon & California Railroad COM
pany, now southern Pacific SUBJ
sidiary, and consists of 100000
acres of fine timber and agricultural
land"
This land was originally secured
by the railway company on the
grant from the government in which
there was proviso that the railway
company shall sell the land at not
less than $3.50 per acre to persons
who should file on the same.
This provision of the land grant
was forgotten for many years but
was discovered some two years ago
and many filings have been made on
the land since. AS the land con-
tains thousands of acres of valuable
timber, the railway company is fight
ing the filings and also resisting the
efforts of the government to secure
the lands because of the failure of
the railway company to comply with
the provisions of selling the land
when the grant was made.

INTERVENTION I'M LAND
FILINGS OREGON RAILWAY
Michigan Parties Have Been Allowed Rqht to Intervene
in Suits on Land Grant in Which Local
Parties Are Interested

= Nearly 200 residents of Bemidii
and other parts of Beltrami county
are feeling somewhat jubilant over
the possibility of winning out on
filings which they have made on
valuable timber lands in Oregon
which are in controversy between
the government, the Oregon & Cali
fornia Railway company, and per-
sons who have filed on the Oregon
& California land grant.
These filings were rendered in
good faith to land office officials in
the west and a record made of the
same, although they were not liter
ally accepted, the land officials
declining to officially grant the
filings, because of the controversy
which is on between the railroad
company and the government as to
the alleged violations, on the part
of the railway company, in not SELL
ing the lands which were granted by
the government many years ago.
A letter from Portland, Oregon,
tells of a combination of persons
who have filed on lands who intend
to intervene in the fight between
the government and the railway,
and is as follows:
Eighty-one residents of Michigan
and other eastern states have been
given permission by Judge Charles

w. G. Schroeder, president, w. R.
Mackenzie. secretary, of the Bel.
trami County, Agricultural associa.
ton, have called a meeting of the
associations to be held at the city
hall next Monday evening, when
the annual election OF officers will
be held and much other business of
importance will be transacted.
One of the propositions, which will
in all probability be discussed at
the meeting is the securing of per-
manent grounds for the association.
The association has used grounds
which are owned by A. A. White of
st. Paul, who has generously leased
the grounds to the association for
the nominal fee of 81, and has never
disturbed the board in their temper
airy possession of the same, and has
intimated that he would not, so long
as the land was not wanted for
sale to those desiring homes in his
addition.
The society has a fine track and
some fairly good buildings, all of
which have been obtained since w.
r. Mackenzie has offciated over the
affairs of the society as secretary
and manager.
1t is likely that a proposition
will be made to those who attend
the meeting Monday evening to
purchase site near the city for the
use as a permanent home for the
fair; and the proposition will prob
ably be accepted.
Since w. R. Mackenzie assumed
the office of secretary of the society,
the fairs have been very successful;
and this year he had very able as
sistance in the labors of the new
president, w. G. Schroeder.

nan, trustees.
A report of the financial condi.
ton of the Relief association showed
that there had been a balance of
$2313.26 in the treasury January l.,
1909; disbursements for the year had
been $708.5O, leaving balance in
the treasury of $16O4.76. The Be-
midi Firemen's Relief association is
considered one of the very best in
the state. The association has as
sisted many worthy members during
the past year. The association has
accomplished much good in the COM
munity, and the financial condition
of the association is still very good.
1t is the intention of the depart
ment to make tn = tournment to be
held next June the banner meet of
the association, and the citizens of
Benidji will cooperate heartily with
the fremen to that end. Mayor J. P.
Pogue, Robert Russell and E. H.
Cornwall were appointed as an
executive committee of the depart
ment to oficiate in the management
of the tournment, next June.
Bemidjl is proud of her fremen,
the department being one of the most
efficient in northern Minnesota. the
members of which are business men
and others prominent in the affairs
of the city.
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1909-12-29
is $195,000, or a total of of $3O5,OOO.
When such is the case, isn't it

IS P1SO,OOO,Ol tOtdl u OI &oUO,UOO.
When such is the case, isn't it
time to stop recommending and
granting special privileges?
In conclusion, I will say, that
was, from start to finish, against
abatement of taxes for parties who
claim they have millions of dollars
behind their. movements, and who
also claim they will fight their wishes
through; and my last word before
the county boardin this much-spoken-
of abatement case, in which I,
according to my friends opinion,
had sudden change or heart" was
that I, for. (only) one, would with
draw from the discussion, without
recommendation, and to leave the
county board with free hands to
act as they saw fit.
Yours truly,
! John A. Thoren.

In chambers yesterday, Judge
Stanton considered several matters
which had been brought before him,
to be considered during the holiday
recess.
One of the cases was that of Pat
Redmond VS.. the First National
Bank of Blackjack, which was
brought by the plaintiff for the
recovery of $500, the face value
Of, draft issued by the First
National Bank of Blackdnck, drawn
upon the Security Bank of Mime
sofa at Minneapolis in March, 1907,
which draft, while in the possession
of Jim Redmond, a brother of the
plaintiff, while in the city of Be-
midi, is alleged to have been stolen
from him while he was in state of
.intoxication.
The draft was, on the following
day, cashed by the First National
bank and soon thereafter was paid
by the Security Bank at Minneapo-
lis. The plaintiff now seeks to
recover the full value from the First
National Bank of Blackjack. John
Gibbons represented the plaintiff
and H. ]. Loud the defendant.
Senator Peterson of Moorhead
was in the city yesterday to argue
a motion before Judge Stanton to
which he seeks to file bill of ex-
ceptions as a preliminary to a mo-
ton for a new trial in the case of
Mary Johnson VS.. DR.. J. C.. Koch.
. 1t appears that the stay of pro-
ceedings ordered by the court in this
case expired about July IS; that sub.
sequently Senator Peterson sought
to file bill of exceptions, which was
objected to by the counsel for the
defendent; hence the pending motion
before the court.
Attorney c. M. Johnson of
Detroit, MIMI, and Attorney
Engelsy of Mahnomen were in the
city yesterday to argue a case pend
ing in Clearwater county before
Judge Stanton.
