Foley. WEIGH & Stewart, the rail-
road builders who have a contract
to build the entire 500 extension
from Plummer to Moose Lake,
through Bemidji, Cass Lake and
Leech Lake dam, will make their
headquarters in Bemidji," said T. J.
Anderson, superintendent of con-
|struction who came to Bemidji yes
terday and, among other business
matters transacted, completed ar
engagements for office room in this
city for the big contracting firm,
which is at the head of all 500
building operations in connection
with the Plummer-Moose Lake ex-
tension.
Mr.. Anderson arranged for the
use of the Offices in John Moberg's
new automobile garage, and the
offices were leased for the term of
one year.
Mr.. Anderson stated that the
main Offices of Foley, WEIGH &
Stewart would be moved to Bemidji
from Moose Lake just as soon as the
Bemldji Offices could be gotten
ready, which will undoubtedly be
within the next two weeks. 49,:
The removal of the headquarter of

mitted bid. The bid was salts
factory to the 500 people and Mr..
Moberg expects to sign the contract
within the next five days to do the
grading. Ill., ~
The contract will call for the
grading of some six miles of road
extending from Minnesota avenue,
IN the center of Bemidji, to point
six miles west of Bemidji, almost
paralleling the Great Northern Be-
midi Crookston line extending west
from this city.
Mr.. Moberg states that he will It
once purchase a steam shovel and
begin work on the contract, grading
within the city limits of Bemidji
northward within ten days. 1t is
estimated that Mr.. Moberg will
handle at least $4,000 yards of dirt
with the steam shovel, which will be
taken from three cuts along the line
to be graded by Mr.. Moberg.
The surveyors who have located
the line northward and westward
from Leech Lake dam to Cass Lake
have been working under the super
vision of Mr.. Sublet, who has a crew
of twelve men. They have been
running line across what is known
as the "Twenty-mile Bog" which is
south of the Great Northern railway
tracks, in the vicinity of Bena.
, So far, only six miles of this
route has been approved. 1t has
been believed that the 500, in COM
ing north from Leech Lake dam,
will not cross the Great Northern
until the approved line approaches
Cass Lake.
However. this general idea may
all be changed in a few days, and
the line cross the Great Northern
a few miles west of Bena.

The license of the West hotel
saloon at Bemidji has been revoked
| by the Bemidji authorities at the
instigation of William E. Johnson,
Indian agent. This is the last OF
the saloons to be closed in the
White Earth country for the time
being at least, according to Mr..
Johnson, who arrived in the city
Yesterday to confer with w. B.
Calderwood of the Prohibition COM
mittee and the United States Dis
trict Attorney Houpt.
Mr.. Johnson declares that he has
closed nearly rs saloons since the
crusade began. Of these Is were
on the White Earth reservation in
the towns of Waubon, Mahnome n,
Omega, Galloway and White Earth.
Of the seven saloons at Cass Lake,
four have been closed, and of the
five saloons at Walker, three have
been closed.
My duty is to protect the
Indians said Mr.. Johnson. I sue
ceeded in having all the saloons
closed where liquor was sold to the
Indians, but in the case of those
who have not given liquor to the
red man men I have no Jurisdiction.
Mr.. Johnson refused to divulge
his plans of the future as far as
northern Minnesota saloons are
concerned except to intimate that
the work has by no means been
completed.
There are still large number of
saloons in the Cass Lake district,
be said, which are being watched by
members of the department and as
soon as enough evidence is secured
to show that they sell liquor to
Indians, theirlicenses WILDE revoked.
The enforcement of this .provi-
sion will do wonders for the Indian.
1t will make men of them.
A few years ago we began to en-
force the liquor laws in the Winni-
bago reservation in northern
Nebraska and the effect on the In.
dams has been wonderful. Without
liquor they are really becoming
industrious and are raising good
crops. The same result will be
noticeable in Minnesota
Mr.. Calderwood of the Prohibi-
ton committee declares that no
action will be taken for the present
on the saloons which have been
allowed to remain open.
Of course, they are violating
the law in operating saloons within
the reservation district, but we
understand that they have been
running orderly places and we will
not modest them at present. he
said.
If the saloons had acted de.
Gently, none of them would have
been closed at all. When the crus
ade began S. w. Zollmar of St. Paul
attorney for the saloon interests
went to Washington to confer with
the Indian department and prom
ised that the saloons at Cass Lake
would not sell to Indians. Report
were received that they were no
living up to this promise and secre
service men were sent into tina
country with the result that abou
rs saloons have been closed.'"

WITHDRAWING LANDS IN
RED LAKE ELEVEN TOWNS
Lands Soon To Be Offered for Sale at
Public Auction to Highest
Bidder.

Thief River Falls News: All of
land on what is known as eleven
Red Lake towns have been with
drawn from entry. The act of Feb.
20, 1904, provided that at the end
of five years all lands that remained
unsold be again offered for sale to
the highest bidder at not less than
81 per acre and purchasers will not
be obliged to live upon or cultivate
the same.
There are few choice pieces of
land that will be offered at this
sale but the most of it is not very
desirable. The choice pieces are
those forfeited to the government
for various reasons. Just when the
sale will be held is not known at
present, but list is being prepared
by the u. S. Land Office.

sentative for the International Har-
vester company, occupied part of the
seat with Mr.. Meyer: He was also
thrown high in the air and was con-
siderably bruised and scratched by
his fall.
Just how serious are the injuries
of the party will not be determined
for day or two as it is possible
that some of them sustained internal
injuries.
The members of the party, and
also people of Wilton who
were on the scene at the time of
the accident, state that when Mayor
Pogue and his party approached
the crossing of the railroad tracks
the east-bound Great Northern
freight pulled into the depot at
Wilton, passing considerably to the
east of the depot and beyond the
crossing. ~@> -
1t is said, positively, that there
was no light burning in the head.
light of the engiIe and that Mr..
Pogue and his companions did not
see the train until it was upon them,
too late to turn aside or stop the
auto. They also say that they did
not hear any whistle, neither did
the bell ring. II .
The locomotive struck the auto
with much force, completely de-
molishing the machine. The rear
part of the auto was hurled high in
the air, while the front part, &C
cupied by Messrs. Pogue and
Symons, stuck to the pilot and was
carried several rods down the track.
Mr.. Pogue's feet and legs were
caught between the front of the
auto and the locomotive and con-
siderable difficulty was experienced
in extra citing him from the wreck.
The injured men were placed on
the freight train and brought to Be-
midi, arriving here. about 7 p. m.
1t is said that the accident occur
ed at E O'Clock. AS it is very dark
at that time, the fact that the loco
motive had no headlight burning
would indicate that the railroad
company is liable for damages be-
cause of the injuries to Mr.. Pogue
and his party.

INDIAN DEPT. KEEPS TAB
ON ITS THIRSTY RED MEN
Department Is Determined to Stop the Liquor Traffic
Among lndians.-Special Agents Are Very Alert
to What Is Doing"

H. A. Larson, deputy special off
Ger in the employ of the Indian ser
vice who has been devoting most o
his time of late looking after parties
, who it is alleged, have been selling
liquor to Indians, spent last nigh
in Bemidji consulting with some EN-
ployes of the Indian department who
are keeping close tab" on the
saloonkeepers and liquor dealers II
various parts of northern Minnesota
Mr.. Larson stated that, at Bena
yesterday, the saloon and restaurant
conducted by James and William
Quinn were raided and the proprie
tors and attaches we're caught red
handed" in the act of serving liquor
to Indians. Mr.. Larson took several
bottles of the "spirituous fermenti''
as evidence to be used in reporting
to the department the acts of the
Quinn brothers.
Special Agent Larson stated
that on Wednesday night when at
the Great Northern depot in this
city waiting the arrival of the train
bound for Cass Lake, he encountered
seven Indians who we're more OF
less intoxicated; and he took
several bottles of whisky from the
reds. These Indians went to Cass
Lake on the night train.
Beltrami county authorities, the
mayor of Bemidji, the city attorney
and citizens of Bemidji have joined
with Special Agent Larson and the
other government officials in the
determination to prevent the sale oil
liquor to Indians in Bemidji and
other points in Beltrami county.
Special dispatches to the Twin
city papers from Mahnomen state
that Notwithstanding the late raid
on the saloons there and the more
recent threat of Agent William E.
Johnson to again raid the saloons
which continued to sell liquor tc
Indians, saloonkeepers are selling
beer to the Indians, claiming tina,
beer is not spirituous liquor in the
sense of the federal agreement Of
the sixties, and under which the
recent raids were made.
Four Mahnomen saloon-keepers
were arrested Wednesday and taker
to Detroit, being later released or
bail. They will be heard November
10 in the Federal court at Fergu:
Falls on the charge of introducing
and selling liquor into the Indian
territory.
1t is said that the Mahnomeu
saloon men will take the decision of
the jurisdiction and other questions
involved in the operations of saloons
on the White Earth reservation to
the United States supreme court.
Beer is being sold in the fourteen
other saloons on the White Eartl
reservation, particularly at Ogem:
and Waubun.
