undertakes"
Mr.. Sero was asked if this wipine
out of the saloon business in the In
dian country would have happened
if the dealers there had been careful
to observe the law regarding the sale
of liquor to Indians. -
If the dealers had been willing to
quit the sale of liquor to- the Indians
1 doubt if the present action would
have been taken. The dealers have
been warned time and again. I don't
mean to say that ali: Of TIC dealers in
liquors have sold to Indians, but so
many of them have, and were deter.
mined to continue, that the condit-
ions called for effective action"

Beltraml county, north of Bemidji

who suspect that the illicit still was

Revenue officers, however, are2 60

convinced that the manufacture of
the whisky has temporarily been
stopped, but a watch will be kept on
suspicious places.
The revenue officers, equipped
with a search warrant, made a pre-

information of further attempts to
distill liquor are received a rigid
examination will ensue.

of the Game Law.

Eleven convictions for violation
of the game laws and five seizures is
the record made since November 3,
by S. c. Bailey, game warden of this

man pleaded guilty and paid a fine.

hides he had obtained illegally.
Charles Jones contributed muskrat
and mink skins to the state game

Washington Nov. 1.-THE attempt

announced by the interstate commerce

a precedent as to ratemaking by basic
points.
The commission ordered the suspen
sion of class rates from the Mississippi
to the Missouri applicable on ship
ments moving from points east of St
Louis to Kansas City and beyond
The principle involved is that the rates
from the East to Kansas City should
be lower than the aggregate of the
rates from the East to St. Louis and
St. Louis to Kansas City.
The railroads appealed to the courts
and when the supreme court of the
United States sustained the commits
sion the railroads put into effect the

the near expiration of a fixed period
the roads gave notice of the contem

Association Which Meets in Stables
Expected to Stand Behind De-
velopment Association
PRIZES UP FOR GOOD WORK
President Welles Issues Official Call
and Says Good Program i.
Being Prepared"

The annual business meeting of
the Northern Minnesota Editorial
association will be held at Staples
on Friday, january 6, according to
notice issued by A. M. Welles of
Sank Centre, president of the
association. The business meetings
have heretofore been held in Decem.
Der. The change was made this
year in order that the meeting of the
editors might be held subsequent to
the annual meeting of the Northern
Minnesota Development association
at Brainerd in December.
In calling the meeting, President
Welles says that "a good program is
in process of preparation.
One of the features of the meeting
will be the exhibiting of job print
ing by the different institutions and
the awarding of prizes for the best
showing and best work. c. H.
Bronson of Osakis, C. F. Scheers of
Akeley and I. J. COPYRIGHT of
Staples are the judges.
The association undoubtedly will
unanimously adopt resolutions to
stand squarely behind the Northern
Minnesota Development association
in whatever that association may
undertake at its Brainerd meeting
for the betterment of this section of
the state; and it is likely that w. R.
Mackenzie, secretary of the Develop.
ment association, will be asked to
attend the editorial meeting and
speak in behalf of his organization"
Another matter that will be def
nitely settled at the Staples meeting
will be the selection of the place for
holding the annual outing of the as
ISOLATION next June. At the outing
of the editors held at P. H. Nc
Garry's summer resort at Leech Lake
last June, invitations were extended
by Cass Lake, Grand Rapids, and
Park Rapids. The Park Rapids in
vitations was the Itasca state park.
1t was impossible for the editors to
agree at that time as to which place
they perferred. At Staples the in
vitation will be again considered
and a place selected.
The Northern Minnesota Editori-
al association originally was the
Great Northern Editorial association
the name being afterwards changed
to the North Central Editorial asso.
citation; and at the meeting held at
Walker last June the name was
further changed to the Northern
Minnesota Editorial association and
the territory covered by the associa-
ton was extended to include all of
the thirty-one counties that are
members of the Northern Minnesota
Development.

FIREMEN NARROWLY ESCAPE
Dozen Rescued by Desperate Work Of
Comrades.

Chicago, Nov. T.-Death barely
grazed a dozen firemen in a blaze
which destroyed four four-story build.
ings of the Thompson Piano company,
with loss of 100000.
Penetrating to the seat of the flames
the fire fighters were cut off by a
back draft and their escape barred by
a solid wall. Shouts for aid reached
some of their fellows on the other side
of the obstruction and only after des.
perate work was an opening made
through the wall and the detail of
men, singed and almost suffocated,
rescued from impending death.
There was no clue to the origin of
the fire, which practically destroyed
the plant of the piano company.
