.o Is been included In the order
( eA0to closing Of the saloons, while
alexandria and Crookston have both
been left wide opeh,s ThS fact
may not seem extraordinary, but they
recall that Alexandria is the home
town of Knute Nelson and Crookston
is the home of Congressman steener-
son, and the wise ones wink and the
talk goes on.
However this may be, it is proof
enough that the federal authorities
never act hastily and IL there is any
discrimination it is always done away
with sooner or later. It may be that
these two cities have been left out
of the order because as yet there has
not been sufficient money appropriat-
ed to carry out such an order.
Ultimately the government, no
doubt, intends to include Crookston
and Alexandria.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Washington, states that the question
of whether or not beer is spirituous,
will determine whether that liQuod
can be sold at Moorhead, which To-
cality Is situated on ceded Indian land
Minnesota state brewers have pro-
tested to the Indian bureau in so far
as the order applies to the importa-
tion Of beer.
The brewers claimed that beer is
not a spirituous liquor and conse-
quently does not come within the pro-
hibition clause contained in the trea-
ties under which the land were ceded.
Supervisor Helecombe of the In
dian bureau, has informed the COM
plainants that he cannot suspend in
structions as they desire and will have
until September Is to remove such
beer as may be In Moorhead. 1t now
dexolves upon the brewers to con-
vince the Indian bureau that beer is
not spirituous liquor.
"A few days ago the bureau of In
dian affairs promulgated instructions
to Its agents considerably extending
the, prohibition territory adjacent to
the White Earth and Leech Lake re-
servations In MinnesotA in accordance
with the treaty regulation for the
protection Of the Indians from into1-
.ication. 8 { - b
It IL. stated here that 9 delegation
of business men, not interested direct
" in the liquor business Of Moor
head. has sent to Washington to urge
upon the authorities the absurd dity of
enforcing the law which would COM
pei the closing Of all the saloons in
Moorhead. As
In spite of the cheerful statements
that have been given out by the liq-
uor men in Moorhead and other
places in northern Minnesota, there is
an undercurrent of extreme uneasi-
ness and an expectation that the or
der Of the government in the matter
of closing the saloons will be carried
out to the letter.
The saloons at Fosston, Mimi, have
been closed and liquor men were CIV
en- few hours to pack up their stock
and take it to the depot. This is q
second notice to these saloons. The
deputies went to Bemidji, closed 80
odd saloons and gave the owners IL
hours to ship all liquors on hand.
The courts will have to decide the
question Of refunding the license
money.

BRAZIL, ARGENTINE AND
CHILE TO CLASP HANDS
German Press Reports PreSage
South American Alliance

BERLIN. Nov. 8.-The formation of
a South American triple alliance is
nresaged by the Rio de Janeiro cor
respondent of the Hamburger Mach
richten. The visit Of the future pres
ident Of the Argentine republic, DIT.
Rogue Saenz Pena, to Rio can be re-
garded, the correspondent says as a
victory for Brazilian diplomacy, for
at the outset the idea was bitterly OPP
posed in Buenos Aires.
The majority of the Argentine nation
and all Brazil are, he states, over
ioyed at the visit for it is sure
guarantee that the two countries,
which, owing to all kinds of misunder-
standings, have been ininically in
clined to each other for years past
will now live in peace and friendship.
When passing through Rio year ago
DR.. Saenz Pena advocated rap
prochement between the two countries
and the right moment for this seems
now to have arrived, for the new Bra
lillian president, Marshall Hermes ga
Fonseca, and Baron Rio Brance, who
will probably be his minister OF 1or-
eign affairs, are both animated by
the same wish. The population of Rio,
continues the correspondent, have
given their guest a brilliant reception
and the government alos has treated
him with special distinction. Under
the new conditious-both Brazil and
the Argentine will have new govern
ments this year-the idea Of forming
a South American triple alliance, which
has long lain in allegiance owing to
the rivalry Of these TWO countries,
will be revived.
The third partner is to be Chile, and
the name "A. b. c. alliance" has al
ready been given TO the new group
ing. The alliance, it is pointed out in
a liter to the Hamburger Nachricht-
en-, would not only be exceedingly val
u.ble TO the three contracting coun-
tries, but also to the whole of South
America, as it might easily become
a counterpoise to the ever growing in
fuence of the United States there. 1t
lis noteworthy that Chile also must, In
consequence Of the unexpected death
of its president, Senior PEDRO Montt,
have a new government and the cir
cumstance that the three republics will,

BRITISH PEERS BEGIN
TO SELL VAST ESTATES
Earl de la War; and Lord SondaS
Decide on Disposition
of Property

LONDON, Nov. 8.-Two more peers
are selling portions of their estates
Earl de la War; and Lord Sondas. AL
though both are Conservatives they
are probably selling for totally differ
ent reasons.
In the case of the former the land is
being sold because the owner knows
that the present is a profitable time to
sell. He has written to his tenants
intimating that he intends selling by
auction the major portion of the Buck
hurst estate (Tunl ridge Wells), but
that before offe- ing the farms to the
. public he wishes to give his tenantry
the opportunity of acquiring their
holdings.
This latest instance of the cutting
up of a large estate is all the more
noteworthy, as the land has been held
by the Sackville family since the time
of the conquest and it is understood
that his lordship has instructed his
agents to negotiate with his tenants
and to put up at auction in November
all the farms which the tenants may
not wish to purchase.
Last autumn Lord de la War; made
a crushing reply to the Tories, who
were then crying out that Lloyd
Georges famous budget had ruined
the property market" In a letter he
declared that in my own case l find
taht during the last twelve months l
have had more applications for land at
gool prices than I have had for many
years, both at Bexhill and in other
parts of Sussex. 1 can now sell land
at $500 an acre in Sussex, land which
q few years ago would not have
fetched more than $3.50 an acre"
Lord Sondas is negotiating for the
sale of his estate at Elmham, Norfolk.
The tenants have received formal no
tice to quit at ichaelmas, 1911.

in New York state and other eastern
localities, but west and south the
weather generally was clear and cold.

cast in the first two hours. In Albany
N. Y, many districts had half their
vote in before 10 a. m. At Cincinnati,

FEAR TURK MAY STRIKE

ATHENS, Nov. 8.-For some time
past apprehensions have prevailed here
that a conflict with Turkey might be
forced upon Greece by the irruption
of the bands of irregulars which are
reported to have assembled on the
Turkish side of the frontier, and it
has been suspected that Turkey, fol-
lowing the example of Japan, might
initiate hostilities without previous
declaration of war. The feeling of
uneasiness is increased by the con-
viction that the real power in Tur-
key, rests, not in the hands of the re
sponsible government at CONSTANT

Young Turk committees at Salonika
and elsewhere.
