PRESENT SALOON CLOSING
GOVERNMENT EXPERIMENT
r. u Valentine Commissioner Indian Affairs, and Vim.
E. Johnson Special Officer Write Concerning Partial
Closing of Saloons in "lndian Country

There has been considerable
complaint, in the territory which
was recently declared Indian coun.
try" through the operation of the
Indian department, and some are
inclined to score Special Officer
Johnson and the officials of the
department for their apparently par
tial actions in closing some of the
saloons and allowing others in the
same district to continue to sell
liquor.
The special officer and the com.
missioner of Indian affairs have
explained their position, in letters to
resident of Detroit, Mimi, which
are printed in the Detroit Record, as
follows:
Salt Lake City, Utah,
January II, 1910.
Mr.. Dave Hage,
Detroit, MINI.
Dear Sir: l note your letter of
December II requesting that no
saloons be permitted to violate the
treaty provision in your city. Your
suggestion will receive consideration.
Your attention, however, is called
to the fact that we are not attempt
ing a strict enforcement of the treaty,
the theory being to make use of it
only so far as may be necessary to
protect the interests of the Indians.
l am not charged with the enforce
ment of any law. These treaties
cover a large part of the state of
Minnesota. We have left these four
saloons at Detroit largely as an ex-
pertinent. If the experiment is suf-
cessful, they will not be disturbed.
If, however, either Indians or boot
leggers continue to secure supplies
of liquor at Detroit, we shall not
hesitate to close up these four
saloons that are left.
would appreciate it if you
would provide me with all the
specific information that you can,
from time to time, as to how this
experiment is working.
Respectfully,
William E. Johnson,
Chief Special Officer.

Office of Indian Affairs,
Washington, Feb. 4, 1910.
Hon. knute Nelson, .
United States Senate.
Sir: Replying further to your let
ter of December 20, enclosing a
letter addressed to you by Mr.. Dave
Hage. of Detroit, Minnesota, with
reference to the recent notice of
Chief Special Officer Johnson that
on and after December 27, Article
] of the Treaty with the Chippewas
of February p, 1855, would be en-
forced in certain districts, including
Detroit, Minnesota, have the honor
to advise you that I am in receipt
of support from the Chief Special
Officer regarding this matter.
Mr.. Johnson reports that his
action of permitting some saloons to
remain open was largely an expert.
ment. The policy under which he
IS operating is to enforce the pro-
visions of this Treaty only so far as
may be necessary to protect the
interest of the Indians, and that if
the plan is not successful in any
town, it is his intention to close up
whatever saloons have been left in
that town.
Mr.. Johnson is of the opinion that
eventually it may be necessary to
close up all the saloons which have
been left in the selected towns. His
idea was to follow as. conservative a
spolicyas possible, and avoid the
appearance on behalf of the govern
ment of carrying things with high
hand.
I trust that no harm will result
from the action of the Chief Special
Officer, and if you will inform me of
any wrong being done by reasons of
the exceptions made, I shall be
pleased to direct Mr.. Johnson to
close all the saloons where the
experiment is not success. ~
Very respectfully,
R. U. Valentine,
Commissioner.

was performed by Rev. S. E. P.

The bride was dressed in hand
some navy blue silk. The brides
maid, Miss Helmy Kruse, was
dressed in beautiful suit of gray.
John Ward acted as best man, and
wore the conventional black.
The gifts received were many and
of much value.
Taking it all in all, the event was
one of the prettiest weddings in the
village in recent years. Those pres
ent were Mr.. and Mrs. John Stebe,
William Reinke, Tom Ward, Mrs.
Hoffman, Mrs. Peter Weathers,
Mrs. Carelton of Bemidji; Misses

The Village of Nymore. BemidiIs
nearest neighbor, is thriving little
village of about 1000 population.
The fast stride in growth set by
.Bemidji is being followed by this
neiehboring village.
Nymore is situated on the shores
Of beautiful Lake Bemidji, with
business places and residences
scattered among the tall pines of
that community.
Nymore has grown fast and most
of its citizens are employed by the
large lumber companies, namely the
Crookston and Bemidji Lumber
companies, also great many are
employed by the M. & I. railway
company. Nymore has a good
school and employs four teachers.
c.. L. Hebron Of Bemidji is principal
of the school, and under his able
leadership, the school is considered
one of the best in villages Of equal
size in the state.
There are seven business houses,
five hotels and boarding houses and
various other industries that 60 to
make up this thriving little village.
The village site covers about three
square miles and will no doubt be
enlarged, owiag to the coming of
the 500 railway. ThesSoo right-of-
way is planned to cut through the
south end of the village and this
will necessitate the moving Of some
of the residences, which will tend
to spread the population over a
large area.
The mayor of the village is o. J.
Tagley, aud the clerk is Peter Void.
