LAND OPEAING AT CASS
LAKE DRAWS Big CROWD
Valuable Tract Of Land Between Big
Falls and Littlefork Opened
to Settlers.

Cass Lake, March l1.-(Specia,
to Pioneer. AT the opening Of the
land Office this morning there
were 100 persons in line waiting
for the opening of the office in order
to make filings on lands situate in
township 67-25 in Koochichine
county, which had been advertised
to be opened this morning. The
land in question is very valuable
as it has considerable timber upon
it. Some of it is also within two
miles of the NJ. & I. railway, between
Big Falls and Littlefork.
"A good many years ago a number
of people in cruising through this
section of the country discovered
this land and settled there several
of those filing having squatted on
the land five or six years ago.
The first in line was Joseph Bray
of Blackjack. Mr.. Bray, after filing,
stated that he was we'll pleased with
his quarter, which he considered
one of the best quarter sections in
the gift of Uncle Sam to give tc
one of his citizens
The second man in line was
Ernest Toupan of Red Lake Falls.
The third in line was Theodore La.
Bissisinaire, the merchant of Red
Lake Falls. Number 4 was Ernie
LeBerge of Blackjack.
This is the first opening of govern.
ment lands since Messrs. Bartlett
and Wood were appointed as register
and receiver of the land office here
and they handled their work with
neatness and dispatch.

INCOME TAX LAW IN FRANCE

Measure Completely Readjusts Old
Fiscal System.
Paris, March 1 The chamber of
deputies has passed the income tax
bill by 407 votes to 166.
The income tax bill does away with
many of the vexatious and antiquated
taxes in France and substitutes there
for graduated income tax. Day Ia
zborers are practically exempted. The,
taxes on incomes Of about $1,000 per
year is made progressive up to 4. per
cent of the total. The bill will con-
stitute complete readjustment of the
fiscal system of France.

JUST ESCAPES
Death BLOW
Governments Case Against
Standard Oil.
RULING OF TRIAL JUDGE

Decides Prosecution Must Show That
Defendant knowingly Accepted a
Secret Rate as Charged in the In
dlctment - District Attorney De
clares He Can Produce the Desired
Evidence.
Chicago, March 1j.-The govern
ment's case in the retrial of the
Standard Oil company of Indiana,
which so far has Jared unfortunately
in Judge Anderson's court, again mar
rowly ESCAPED a death blow. Judge
Anderson, who is following the rulings
of the court of appeals with unvary-
ing fidelity, held that the government
must prove, as alleged in the indict-
ment, that there was a standard rate
for oil shipments between Whiting.
Ind, and East st. Louis, ILL.,, at the
time of the offenses with which the
defendant is charged and that the de-
PENDANT knowingly accepted lower
secret rate. The court declared that
the government must convince him
that it would be able to prove this.
At the request of Assistant District
Attorney Wilkerson court Unexpected
ly adjourned to allow time for the
preparation of arguments to show that
the required evidence will be forth
coming.
Judge Anderson's ruling will, it is
said, compel the government to ask
for leave to amend the Indictment.
Although the government counsel did
not directly state that refusal to
allow this amendment to be made
would be death blow to the prosecu-
ton their admissions made this infer
ence obvious.
