TAKES
OLD SETTLERS
MRS. GUIllAN0 DIES Al PORTLAND
Husband Was Proprietor of First
Hotel in This City, Which was
Removed from Old Town.

Mrs. Marie Guilland, who for 80
years, until two years ago, was a resi-
dent of this immediate valley, died at
Portland, Sunday, December rs, age
76 years. She was the widow of
David Guilland, who died six years
ago. Her body arrived in North
Yakima last night and the funeral
services will be this morning at 10
o'clock at the Episcopal church,
Archdeacon Bywater to officiate. The
five surviving children of Mrs. Gull
land are Mrs. j. B. Huntington and
Miss M. S. Guilland of Portland, Mrs.
j. j. Rudkin of Kennewick and David
Guilland of Lewiston, Ida, and
George Guilland, who lives in Canada.
The name of the Guillands will
long remain identified with the his
tory of Yakima City and North Yak
ina. They owned the Guilland
hotel at Yakima City, which was the
first building to be removed from the
old town to North Yakima. The
work began early in February, 1885,
and the building, when brought to
this city, occupied the site at Chest
nut and South First street, where
Pat Mullins is just finishing the cree
ton of a four-story brick structure.
Portions of the original building re-
manned on the site and were better
known as the Varian hotel. They
were but recently removed. The
Guilland hotel, both at Yakima City
and North Yakima, was the home of
the best visitors to this city in those
days and at that time there were
many people of importance making
visits to this section. Paul Schulze
and others had made a temporary
home in the structure.

The Gulland family also owned the
property west of the city now called

pioneer woman in this section of the

visitors to this valley as Mrs. Gull

CONSTRUCTION OF

Judge Prcble Makes Unusual Decision
and One Considered Vastly
Important.

There Is a difference in an article
being satisfactory and the purchaser

unusual decision handed down by
Judge Preble in the superior court
Monday.
The construction of an oral contract
relative to the sale of land was the
way in which the decision came about

Henry King against Ole Vaag.
There had been negotiations pend
ing between the parties relative to the
sale and purchase of a piece of land

price was not paid within 20 days
after the abstract had been received

Change Rules at State Convention.

Bemidji fremen who attended
the State Firemen's association, al
Cloquet, report that some radical
amendments were adopted to the
rule which which heretofore existed
in the matter of designating ahead
several years the places for holding
the annual meetings.
Under the newly-adopted ruling,
no vice-president will be elected un-
til that date.
Bemidji was candidate for the
convention of 1913 and would
probably have landed the conven-
ton for that year but the new rul-
ing put it over until 1879.
The boys report having had a
fine time with about 700 fremen
in attendance at the convention.
The people OF Cloquet were very
hospitable in their treatment of
fremen.

a Rest.

A. M. Welles, owner of the

of the directors of the Great
Northern Editorial association, came
to Bemidji last evening for a
brief respite from his exhaus-
tive labors in bringing the Herald
from pile of non-paying Junk"
to a prosperous, up-to- the-minute
weekly newspaper that is in the
front ranks with the rags" pub

Mr.. Welles recently leased his
paper to Ed. Pierce, formerly of
Grafton, for one year, with the
privilege of leasing further or pur-
chasing the outfit. Mr.. Welles
states that he intends to rest up a
bit" and get his nerves down to the
point where he can again take the
bit in his own teeth and resume his
wonted energy in the newspaper

Mr.. Welles took a look around,
shifted the lung-expanding ozone of

around in the Pioneer Office while he
was here.
Mr.. Welles decided to return to

BODY OF J. NJ. STAFFORD
BURIED THIS AFTERNOON
Fjremen, Woodmen and Eagles Join
In Honoring the Memory of
the Departed.

Honored by the local fire depart
ment, the members of the M. w. A.
and Eagle lodges, with all of whom
he was associated and had a per-
sonal friendship, the funeral of the
late ]. M. Stafford, this afternoon,
was a spontaneous demonstration of
esteem on the part of the people of
such intensity that the entire affair
was a public testimonial of sorrow
and regret for the untime[y depar-
ture of one who has always been an
honorable citizen, a kind and loving
husband and father, and an obedient
child in his youth.
The funeral services were held at
the City Opera House, at the request
of a large number of citizens, in
order that the last sad rites might
be participated in by all of those
who desired to pay their respect to
the memory of the departed.
The obsequies were directly in
charge of the members of the
Bemidji Fire Department, which
organization, together with the
Woodmen and Eagles, attended in a
body.
The services at the hall were
simple, yet impressive, and the
large attendance but attested the
high esteem in which the departed
was held by everyone who knew
him.
The music was of the kind that is
very appropriate for such occasions
and was beautiful.
The floral offerings were appro
pirate symbols of the love and affec,
ton of the givers. On card
appended could appropriately have
been placed these words: These
flowers, so typical of the life of him
whom we mourn, mutely speak the
pathos of a parting word, and are
placed upon this casket by friends
who loved the sleeper. On these
petals are tears for the parting, and
hopes for the meeting beyond the
gates"

RED LAKE INDIANS ARE
THREATENING TROUBLE
Dissatisfied with Alleged Actions of Indian Agent in
Withholding Payment Of Funds Said to Be
Subject to His Order

There are marked signs of discon-
tent among the band of Red Lake
Indians, with possible serious results,
relative to the hanging up of pay
ment of money to the Indians,
which payment the Indians claim is
being held up solely at the instance.

Agency, Mr.. Bishop.
During the last three days visitors
from near the Red Lake Agency
have stated that the Indians have
given unmistakable evidences of
being uneasy and are undoubtedly
withholding their wrath with diff.
Guilty. ..e.... r. .
The Indians claim that the cause
of the friction between the Indian
agent and themselves is due to the fact
that the money with which payment
was to have been made is on deposit
at St. Paul, subject to the order of
Indian Agent Bishop; that the pay
ment has been agreed upon by the
officials at Washington and all that
is necessary for each of the Indians
to receive his or her allotted sum is
word from the Indian agent. when
the money could be easily given out,
under the direction of the agent.
The money which is available for
this payment is due for logging
operations on the Red Lake Indian
reservation, the timber having been
logged during the past winter.
According to the Indians, the timber
has already been paid for, and they
claim that the Indian agent has no
just right to withhold the money
from the members of the Red Lake
band.
While the Indians have, so far,
done nothing of a serious nature
there is much grumbling among them
and every indication points to pos

sible serious results if the govern
ment officials at Washington do not
see to it that the agent does not
longer withhold the payment but
promptly turns over the money to
each of the governments wards who
is entitled to a share.
The Red Lakers have been a
peaceful band for many years, but
there are among their number
several men who are known to be
desperate characters when they are
riled;" and an effort is being made
| by Bemidji people who are interested
in the matter to induce the depart
ment to hasten the payment and
avoid possible serious consequences.
There are other causes which have
led up to this feeling of discomfort
on the part of the Red Lake Indians.
About a year ago the members of
the band where advised that it was
the belief of persons supposed to
be we'll informed that it would be
necessary for the government to
allow selections of allotments made
on the Red Lake reservation, dis
pite the fact that certain officials of
the Indian department held to the
contrary and many selections we're
made and filed with the Indian
department. The filings were re-
ceived and held temporarily until
a final descision could be made in
the matter. No final descision has,
as yet. been rendered on those
filings, which has been one of the
matters which has caused discomfort
among the Red Lake band.
The outcome of the present
trouble is awaited with considerable
apprehension by parties living at
Red Lake Agencyand in that vicinity
as we'll as number of Bemidii
people who have interests at Red

KETCHEL MADE MONKEY
OUT OF JACK o'BR|EN
Champion middIeweight Knocked Out
Philadelphia in Third Round
Showed up lack Johnson.

Philadelphia, June 1O.-Stanley
Ketchel, the middleweight champion,
last night defeated Jack O'Brien in
the third round, thus accomplishing
a feat Jack Johnson, the heavy
weight champion, failed to achieve
in six rounds some three weeks ago.
The fight was stopped in the
second minute of the third round,
after O'Brien had been knocked
down twice in the second and once
in the third, and was almost unable
to raise his hands to defend himself.
The fight was a whirlwind affair
from start to finish. Ketchel went
after O'Brien from the tap of the
gong and showed thai he was deter
mined to catch him and achieve a
knockout.
He voted his attention to O'Brien's
body until he had drawn the latter's
guard down, and then he sent in a
crashing right in the second round
that scored the first knockdown.
O'Brien got up gamely, but went
down fiat on his back few moments
later from a right and left swing in
the jaw. This time he struggled to
his feet at the count of six and two
seconds later the gong rang.
The third and last round was
brief. Ketchell went in for a konck-
out. In his anxiety to finish it
quickly he was wild and many of his
swings went wide of the mark.
Finally he cornered O'Brien and
sent in left short arm blow on the
paw and about finished it. O'Brien
could not fall because he was pinned
in corner. He crumpIed up on
the ropes and chung to Ketchels
neck desperately. Shaking him
loose, Ketchel sent in a right and
left again that put O'Brien groggy.
Referee McGuigan, seeing o Brien's
condition and wishing to avoid a
possible serious injury, stopped the
fight.

the services, and spoke briefly of
the promise of great rest beyond
the grave, and of the comfort which
the Redeemer extends to all who
seek Him.
At the close of these solemn SER
vices, all were permitted to look for
the last time upon the face of the
departed; then the sad cortege moved
on to Greenwood, our "Silent City,"
where brief burial services were
spoken.
1t was the writer's privilege to
have had a personal acquainta nee
with ]. M. Stafford, extending over
period of about eighteen years, and
it is with a heart filled with sorrow
that we pen these weak lines to the
memory of the departed friend, whom
we knew as an honorable citizen,
loyal husband and father, and
true, sincere friend.
Poet nor artist has ever been
able to portray the grave in colors
of brightness and beauty. Bryant,
in the hymn of death, could not
make the subject beautiful; and yet
the cemetery with its marble and its
dead, the chair that has no occu-
pant; the fancied echo of the silent
voice; and the vacant place in the
home, the social and lodge life, are
mellowing and uplifting in their
influence. They bring the best of
human nature into the fullness of
vigor, crowding back the selfishness
and imperlousness of men, and i'm
pressing them with the duty of recog-
milton of the value of friendship.
1t is the gloom of the graveyard
that reveals to US more clearly the
beauty of life. 1t is the broken
ties at the grave that prompts us to
fuller appreciation of the tender
ness of the ties that are not broken;
and so, while we mourn the loss of
our dead, we may rejoice that there
is no cloud so dark that there is no
light behind it, no sorrow so poign-
ant that there is not a balm for the
wound it inficts.
And may the good Lord, in His
own good time, heal the wounds
caused to relatives and friends by
the untimely death of one for whom
the writer had but the greatest
regard and esteem for his sterling
worth and integrity.

WORLD EvANGELIzATIoN

The time has gone by when missionary work among the heathen could be regarded as no necessary duty of the Christian church. Yet time was, and that not so long ago, when the missionary to foreign lands was thought of as a uuixotic sort of person who might be much better occupied in tilting against castles of ig- norance and error in his own country than in pursuing conquests of questionable value abroad But as he was obviously man with whom it was useless to argue, he was allowed to go forth without serious hindrance while his Christian brethren, with shrug of their shoul- ders and great sense of superiority, turned to their more practical duties.
 Statesmen and business men returning from foreign travel have of late been telling us of the permanent value to commerce, civilization, and morality of the work of the missionaries whom we had allowed to go forth with such scant courtesy.
 Now the church is face to face with concep- ton of missionary duty such as she has not had since the days of the Lord and His apostles. A new sense of responsibility is abroad. The old question, Am I my brother's keeper? is begin ming to reassert itself in a very uncomfortable way Therefore, more and more are men ask ing, not in the old skeptcal spirit nor with con temptuous sheer: Is the church called upon to world evangelization? Is she equal to the task ? Is world evangelization possible achievement in this generation?
 Yet what these missionary gatherings stand for in the minds of those who have organized them is not so much the duty of preaching the Gospel among heathen nations. They are defn- ite believers in that duty, be the results what they may. They have habit of saying: Duties are ours; results are Gods. But what they do stand for pre-eminently is the need of mutual counsel and advice as to how best to do the work The fell need of our day is for statesmanlike measures. Along with the old false conception of missionary work has gone also the conception of the lone missionary, with slender equipment, standing under tree, alternately attacking the creed of his hearers and urging acceptance of his own. What the council and the convention alike would know is what is the best and wisest way to present to the nations of the world the paramount claims of Jesus Christ as their Say four and God
