In answering the pre-emptory
writ, Mr.. Wilmann maintained that
he had never been furnished with
the books necessary to carry out
the work of spreading the assess
ment in five equal installments, aud
as that was the duty of the
county commissioners to furnish
these records consequently he
could not be compelled to furnish
books at his own personal expense
before spreading the assessment for
five years.
Judge Wright upheld this conten.
ton, stating that it was not the
duty of the county auditor to pro.
vide the books for this work; it was
possibly the duty of the county com.
missioners, but they were not a
party to suit.

MANAGERS In CONFERENCE

Carry Proposal of Union Officials to

at chicago-Governor Eberhart De-
eiares the Situation Appears to Be
Pointing Toward Settlement.

Since the Pioneer received the
straight tip" Wednesday afternoon
that gigantic strike was imminent
if certain affairs were not at once
arranged between the general mana
gers association and the represent.
atives of the striking switchmen and
Federation of Labor officials, we
have heard of nothing to indicate
that the strike was not approaching
the arbitration stage.
Our information was to the effect
that the switchmen and their allies
had demanded conference, and if
it. was not forthcoming within
twenty-four hours or arrangements
made for such a conference, a big
strike would be ordered and would
be carried out.
That something was done to ap-
pease the demands of the men and
prevent the threatened tie-up of all
traffic is certain; and the following
Associated Press dispatch indicates
a peaceful termination of the strike
during this season of good cheer:

MOORE & co. ARE MAKING
FINE PROGRESS LOGGING
Have Camps at Northome and Hines,
and Are Getting Out Much
Timber.

E. O. Moore & Co., who make
their headquarters in Bemidji, are
getting out much timber in the
country north of Bemidji, for the
Bemidji Lumber company and the
Crookston Lumber company of
Bemidji and the Duluth Log COM
pany of Duluth, and the work of
cutting and banking the stuff is
progressing very satisfactorily with
the company, as well as all other
companies cutting timber in this
section, as weather conditions are
ideal for logging operations.
The Moore company is maintain
ing two camps at Northome, what
are known as Camps No. 2 and 5.
The company will cut at Camp 2
four million pine, spruce and tama-
rae logs, and at Camp some 10000
cedar poles and $4,000 posts will be
logged, as wellas "some' ties. The
output of these two camps will be
banked at Durrin's Spur, one mile
north of Northome.
Tanks have been running on the
roads from the two camps for the
past two weeks and there are fine
roads for hauling big loads of logs.
The company now has about
100000 feet of pine, 1000 poles and
big bunch of posts cut and banked,
from the Northome camps.
The company also has two camps
near Hines, known as Nos. 3 and 4.
Seven million of pine, $4,000 poles
and a lot of posts will be gotten out
at these camps, which are located
three miles east of Hines. The tim
Der will all be banked at Hines
Spur, where the Moore company
has big yard, and where they are
using a steam loader.

ENFORCING LIQUOR LAWS
MAKE TREATIES OBNOXIOUS
Said that the Liquor Dealers Want Treaty Provisions
Enforced So They Will Become So Obnoxious
- as to Be Repealed

Ny information came from the
mayor of a northern city in this
state said Mr.. Calderwood. He
said he was informed of the plan by
the chairman of the county republic
can committee in his county.
The mayor told me be had been
informed that great pressure had
been brought to bear on United
States congressman from this state,
particularly those from districts that
have been made dry. The treaties
cover nearly everything but the
southeast portion of the state.
If the law is enforced to the
letter in the districts covered by
the treaties it will be done by the
liquor interests and not by the
prohibition people. Some of the
treaties must stand unless repealed
by congress. Others can be re-
pealed by proclamation of the presi-
dent. The mayor I speak of con-
sidered his information of sufficient
importance to cause him to make a
special trip to Minneapolis to place
it in our hands. He is in favor of
the enforcement of the treaties in
so far as they will fulfill the pur-
poses for which they were passed.

freezing has been impossible. The
hay stacks stand in a foot of water
and ice, and moving it by team as
formerly, is out of the question. If
the interests that is keeping up this
unfair water level is not called off,
the future usefulness of our. valuable
meadows will be destroyed.
School in District No. was
brought to close Dec. Ia in very
sensational manner..About 1:30
p. NJ, without warning, quite Sec
ton of the school-room ceiling plas-
tering fell. Lucille Chamberlain was
the only one injured by the falling
plaster, and sitting directly under,
was thrown forward on her desk by
the weight of the plaster striking
on the crown of her head. She
was quickly carried to her bone,
her scalp badly cut and wounded in
several places besides many small
perforations. Her chest was also
badly bruised and discolored from
being forced forward on her desk.
After the bleeding had been stanch-
ed and she had rested in bed the
rest of the afternoon she did not
appear to have been seriously injured
and is convalescing from her dan
gerous and nerve-trying experience.
Samples of the plastering measured
from fve-eights to three-fourths
inch in thickness and her escape
from death seems marvellous. The
school room will be put in order
during the Xmas vacation and the
general wish of the school patrons is
the removal of the plastering from
the ceiling and replaced with suit
able steel ceiling which will add
much to the looks of the school
room, while removing the fear of
falling plaster, which was constantly
menacing the scholars.

JUDGE WRIGHT DISMISSES !
THE ALTERNATIVE WRIT
Holds 1t Was Not Duty of exCounty Auditor Wmann to
Furnish Records on Which to Spread City
Sewer Assessments.

B. F. Wright of Park Rapids,
Judge of the Fifteenth Judicial dis
trict, has filed a decision relative to
the spreading of a certain sewer
assessment, which is of considerable
importance to the City of Bemidji.
Recently an alternative writ was
issued to compel the then county
auditor, John Wilmann, to spread
the sewer assessment of the City of
Bemidji, over a term of five years, or
five successive installments, he hav-
ing spred the same for one year.
In the decision handed down by
Judge Wright, the latter discharges
the pre-emptory writ that was issued
by Court Commissioner Slocum and
holds that the auditor was not CON-
PEELED to spread the assessment in
five equal installments.

Thompson Sold Cedar.

There is report to the effect that
when J. C. Thompson, the Ten.
strike merchant, was in Bemid j
Tuesday, he disposed of all of his
cedar holdings in the north country
along the line of the M. & I. Rail-
way. Rumor has it that Mr..
Thompson owned several thousand
dollars worth of cedar at different
points north of here, and that he
received a neat sum for his holdings.
The Learned Lumber company of

the purchaser of the cedar, and the

st. Paul, Dec. 23.-Strike interest
centers in the meeting at Chicago be-
tween George T. Slade, third vice pres
!. ident of the Northern Pacific, and
James M. Gruber, general manager of
the Great Northern road, with I. G.
Rawn, chairman of the national COM
mittee of railroad general managers.
The impression is that Messrs. Slade
and Gruber have taken to Mr.. >Rawn a
report of an agreement reached be-
tween the striking switchmen, the
American Federation of Labor rail.
way council and themselves relative to
a settlement of the strike of the
switchmen in the Northwest and that
Mr.. Rawn's decision in the matter is
sought The ultimatum which, it is
believed, will be put up to Mr. RaWn
is that unless an agreement is made
to arbitrate the present situation will
continue with the prospect of strikes
by other unions of railroad men af-
f1liated with the sWitchmen.
Judging by the little information
that has leaked out around strike
headquarters the sWitchmen feel that
arbitration is the probable outcome Of
the conference and several of them
we're frank in saying that they ex-
pected to be back at work On Friday
or on Christmas day at the latest.
Governor Eberhart Pleased.
Governor Eberhart made one of the
! most interesting statements with re-
gard to the strike situation that has
been made since President Frank r.
| Hawley of the Switchmen's union an
nounced that the switchmen of the
| Northwest would strike ON the even
| ing of Nov. 80 unless the railroads
granted their demands. The governor
said:
II am very we'll pleased over the
result of the conference between the
railroads and the Representatives of
the American Federation of Labor rail-
way department council. I felt that il
l could get the men and the roads to.
gether conditions would shape them.

uation. I did not attend the confer.
ence in person, but was represented
by my secretary, Ralph W. Wheelock
From him I understand that every.
thing is clearing smoothly toward a
settlement. Both sides are showing a
disposition to be fair in considering
the propositions that arise and I feel
very well satisfied with the present
outlook

A telegram from Minneapolis tells
of one phase of the present campaign
for the cessation of the sale sale of
liquor to Indians as follows,
Minneapolis, Dec 22.-Rigid en-.
forcement of the Indian treaty liquor
laws in Minnesota with the object of
making them so obnoxious as to
either a repeal by congress or death
by proclamation of President Taft is
the plan of the liquor interests, &C
cording to information which w.
G. Calderwood, secretary of the state
prohibition committee, says he re-
ceived today.
The introduction of spurious
liquor into St. Paul, Minneapolis,
Duluth and other large cities of the
state is illegal under the treaties.
Strict law enforcement would mean
that almost the entire state would
be dry and that to have a bottle of
whiskey, even in the home, would lay
the householder open to prosecution.
The attitude of the prohibition
committee is not to take advantage
of these treaties, but to use them
only for the protection of the Indian
from whiskey. .

CHAPTER XVII. Elias Pa9 hn6u

TSdDOUy.
 AS we advanced further into the mountains we met more of the in- habitants. I had taken care to spread that ours was an errand of peace. To use an ancient jest, I meant to have peace if we had to fight for it. I learned afterward that our arrest of Bucks was one of the best evidences we could give of our good intentions, as he was a tur- bulent character and everybody in the mountains who knew him knew that the cause of peace was better served when he was under duress.
 People began to come in now and talk to us freely. From all of them I heard of the Reverend Elias Pea body and the note was always ad- miration and respect. It was evident to the dullest comprehension that he had acquired a strong influence in the mountains and it was equally evident that the influence was wholly for good. The stories of his great elo- quence and earnestness continued, and I, who had known him so well, was not surprised. It seemed likely to me, too, that piety and zeal would de- velop more in the mountains than in the lower country.
 Our destination was E1verson "a lit tie town, but so far as I could learn the central point of the trouble. We reached it after march of three days, and entered amid a concourse of people, come from ring of 50 miles. They received us, men, women and children, with all the tactiturnity of the mountains, gazing at us in solemn silence as we went into camp just on the slope behind the town. Bucks, swart and sullen, was still with us he had no other choice-and he was promptly locked up in the little log jail, which was surrounded with strong guard. Here he soon had company, as acting on information given me on the march I arrested within two hours of our arrival three other men who were leaders in the feud They were taken wholly by surprise and made no resistance.
 When this was done I walked down toward the town with some of the officers, Harrison and Connor among them. I, of course, was in civilian dress, but the others were in uniform, and it was our object to greet the Reverend Elias Peabody, who, I was informed, was already on his way to meet us. T had heard soon after our arrival that he was due in the town within a day, and I had a longing to see him, realizing now what an at tachment I had formed in the peni- tentiary for this sincere man, and that his influence in my life had been greatly for good.
