marked the close of the South Dakota
stockmen's convention here today.

The Sunday school anniversary was
held, with addresses by number of
prominent workers. There will be
a large number of changes in pastors
this year. One important, change that
is expected to be made by the bishop
and the district superintendent is the
consultations of the three districts in
to two on account of the scarcity of
ministers, probably to- be known as St.

The pastors unanimously passed a.
resolution asking for Bishop Nuelson

SALOON ! LID Lifted.
Mr.. BALLlNGER WIPES OUT GRoG-
SHOP CLOSING ORDER IN UP.
PER MINNESOTA.
men TO AID LAW ENFORCEMENT
cass Lake and Moorhead Mayors
Told No More Restricted Belts In
Indian Treaty
Territory.

Washington, D. c. - Secretary Bal
linger declared there shall be no spe-
cific red light" or wet" and "dry"
districts in the Indian country in north
ern Minnesota.
In other words, the recent order of
the Indian Office creating such dis
tricts and proposing to close saloons
therein is wiped out.
The delegation coming here to pro-
lest against the order on behalf of
Moorhead and Cass Lake expressed
to the secretary complete satisfaction
with this order.
Mayors Dumas of Cass Lake and
Dover of Moorhead promised cordial
cooperation with the government in
enforcing the law and prosecuting Of
tenders who sell liquor in violation
thereof.
Arguments Carry Weight.
It is plain that Secretary Ballinger
was much impressed with the force Of
the contention of the visiting delega-
ton that the proposed saloon closing
order would discriminate against Moor
head and Cass Lake and in favor of
other towns in the Indian country.
The secretary Endorsed the policy of
the department in the following order
addressed to the commissioner Of In
dian affairs:
From various petitions and COM
munications addressed to ne in con-
nection with the enforcement of the
acts of congress relating to the intro
duction of liquor into the Indian coun-
try in Minnesota I feel called upon to
express to you what SENS to be to be
the correct policy of the department
in dealing with these questions. I
fully understand and approve of the
diligence of the Indian Office in its
efforts to enforce these statutes.
Contention Over Laws.
1T is true there has been some con-
tention respecting the right to enforce
them. The law, however, appears to
be settled in respect to the authority
of the department and it, therefore,
becomes purely matter of administra.
ton. In the administration of these
statutes the department cannot
countenance determinations or any
thing that savors of arbitrary, capri
cious or vextacious proceedings.
''The officers in the field are en-
trusted with police duty to protect
the Indians under their supervision
from the Introduction of liquor as con
templated by the statute. You will
therefore instruct your officers to Sc
cure convictions for violations of these
statutes where the evidence is avail
able and proceed throughout the terri
tory involved to enforce the law"
