N. n. KOHL IS BOOSTING
AoRTH-CoUN1Ry LANDS
Ex.Receiver Of the Cass Lake Land
Office Is True Friend Of
This Section.

Among the progressive land deal
ers who are beginning to appreciate
the fact that Beltrami county lands
are unequaled for agricultural pur-
pose, and as desirable holdings for
those who are seeking farm homes
are unequaled anywhere, is M. N.
Kohl of Cass Lake, ex-receiver of
the Cass Lake u. S. land office, who
is dealing somewhat extensively in
lands located in the vicinity of Black
duck and Tenstrike, and who has
sold thousands of acres in Cass
county to homeseekers from other
states. -..-' "''
Mr.. Kohl has of late taken lively
interest in the lands of eastern
Beltrami county, and while here
yesterday stated that he had re-.
ceived many hundreds of inquiries
concerning the lands in the vicinity
OF Cass Lake, Bemidji, Tenstrike
and Blackjack and the country
intervening from parties who were
DESTROYS of locating and making
homes on the tillable and fertile
acres of this section.
Mr.. Kohl stopped in Bemidji for
several hours, being on his way
from Cass Lake to Blackjack and
Tenstrike to close some deals for
lands at the two latter phases.
While MI. Kohl claims that he is
out of politics, it is we'll known that
he yields big influence not alone
in Cass county, but also in Douglass
county, his old home. Just what
influences were brought to bear to
cause Mr.. Koll's resignation as
receiver of the u. S. land office at
Cass Lake is not known, but that
all promises of the campaign made
previous to the last state election
were not carried out is conceded,
and it is intimated that Mr.. Kohl
was not used just exactly right,
although he himself refuses to dis
cuss the matter. He was succeeded
by Senator Wood of Long Prairie,
who is making a very acceptable
receiver, and who was one of Con-
gresham Lindberg's "right.hand"
men.

GOVERNMENT MAY Sell
II CUT FOOT SIOUX TIMBER
Commissioner General Land Office
4! Visits Reservation and Inspects
III = Timber. MAY Order Sale. 8

That the authorities of the interior
department and the u. S, general
land office at Washington are con-
templating another sale of timber
on the Chippewa reservation adjoin-
ing the Winnibigoshish Indian lands
is fairly we'll established by recent
events at the national capital, and
the visit of high official of the
general land office to the Cass Lake
U. S. land office for the purpose of
getting information necessary for a
contemplated sale indicates sincere
intention to dispose of a consider
able portion of timber that is at
present deteriorating in quality and
value. " - 81
Fred bennett, commissioner of
the general land office at Washing
ton, passed through Bemidji yester-
day, going to Fargo from a visit to
the Cass Lake land office. Mr..
bennett had just completed visit
to portions of the Cut Foot Sioux
reservation, north of Bena and Lake
Winnibigoshish, where he had made
thorough examination of the con-
dition of the timber, in company
with experienced cruisers, and noted
the timber conditions which prevail
on that reservation.
While Mr.. bennett would say but
little concerning his visit to the Cass
Lake land office and the Cut Foot
Sioux reserve, it is believed, from
what the commissioner did say, here,
that he will recommend a sale of the
timber, which would be made by
competitive bids, as heretofore on
all sales under the Morris Chippewa
law, the timber to be paid for
according to bank scale. a,

been carried on on the Chippewa
reservations under the provisions of
the Morris law, and directly per.

former commissioner and County
Auditor .Wilmann. ,.. ,...lz
,,, Indictments, already returned
