of the attitude of the Indian depart

Washington, April 6.-Commis-
sioner Lemp of the Indian bureau,
interior department., discussing the
Indian treaties, said today:
It is not the intention of this
Office to bring any wholesale prosecu-
tons for illegal sale of liquor on So
called Indian land. We don't pro-
pose to try to wipe out liquor traffic
in that part of the state in which no
Indians live, but to confne our
activities TO those localities where
such sale of liquor will affect the

quite liberal appropriation from
congress for investigating the sale of
liquor to Indians and intends to
conduct its investigation along that
line in rational way"

QUARTERLY P0STOFFICE
REPORT IS COMPLETED
Shows a Healthy Condition OF Business
in This vicinity.-.ncrease Over
Year Ago.

The postohice report for the
quarter ending March 31st, which
has just been completed, indicates
that business in this vicinity is in a
healthy condition and continues to
improve.
The total receipts at the Bemidji
postoffice for the first quarter of this
year amount to S4,O75.OO as against
$3,71O.S9 for the same quarter in
1908. The sale of stamps amounted
to S3,S27.83. 1851 of which were
received from publishers for postage
on second class matter and $211.SO
taken in as box rent.
The total expenses of the quarter
were S2598.92, $4,000 being for
postmasters' salaries and clerk hire,
1892 for special delivery service,
$135 for rent on cancelling machine:
$50 for miscellaneous expenses Gin
Guiding janitor service), and 500
for city free delivery service. This
left S1,476.O8 as profit which was
forwarded to the United States de-
pository at Washington.
The receipts have been gradually
increasing during the last quarter.
The receipts for March were ST.
1918 and for February $1,142.57
showing an increase of $295.16 in
the postofice business of the
Windy" month over February.
The money order business in the
Bemidji postoffice ranks exception
ally high, considering the size of this
little city. During the first quarter
of 1909, 2,753 orders were issued at
an average rate of $7.16 each, max
ing total of $19,725.O3 sent to out
side places. The Office also paid out
$12,1S4.62, thereby leaving an excess
of issues over payments to the
amount of S7,54O.41.
Bemidji is fortunate in having an
unusually efficient postoffice corps
which gives the local public excel
lent service. .@

Miss Hannah Bridge Fuller.

By the death of Miss Hannah B.
Fuller our community suffers the loss
of one of it's noble women. Daughter
of Eben Fuller and Eliza Williams, she
was born into an Inheritance of gener-
GUS sympathy in many and varied in
terests. Some 80 years ago Miss Fuller
began to assist her mother, and soon
took her place, in the Howard Benevo-
lent Union, in the work Of which she
was continuously and actively inter-
ested until the end of her life.
Like her father, who was one of the
founders of the Unitarian church in
this city, Miss Fuller has given loyal
and generous support to the cause of
liberal religion. Both in the work of
the church, and in charitable work out
side the church, her devotion has been
unfailing. She leaves us the memory
of a rich and serviceable life, which
continues it's serviceableness in the
very memory which it has left us.

The first social event Of the year for
Augusta teachers and one whose aus
pices were equally favorable with the
successful opening of school already
enjoyed, was the Corn roast Saturday
at the camp of A. w. Brooks, chair
man of the Board of Education. The
beginning of festivities was a Straw
ride which started from the City build
ing at 40 and carried the party
through delightful miles of the richest
autumnal scenery. The various recre
ations of camp life, in the woods and
on the water. sped the happy hours
till sunset when a chain of fires along
the shore announced the hour of feast
ing. So abundant were the eatables
that the corn seemed in danger of los
it's central place of prominence. 1t was
sighted, however by no one. A large
bonfire later served as focus for the
merry group where the sport was con-
tinued until long after the moon ap-
peared to light them home. All car
ried away the most happy memories
and cordial feelings for their host.
