SOMETHING ROTTEN.

The Investigation as to who stole
1000 stamped envelopes out uf
department at Madison to be used
in political campaign, has resulted
in making the remarkable discovery
that the envelopes were stolen, but bv
whom, 1t was not foucnd out and the
findings are that one was guilty of the
larcency. yet it is intimated that the
civil service commission might
recommend that several EMPLOYEES be
separated from their job. 1t is very
strange. that LOGO stamped envelopes
could b removed from deDsrtment
and the discovery of the loss not be
ascertained antil many of the en-
velopes with stlckers over the state
label are returned with the inquire.

was not called political trap to
catch votes. But then, the paper

progressive republican. as one who
recognizes existing and concrete evils
and who is in favor Of definite and
practical steps to eradicate them. But
ne should remember, that there NAV
be disagreements as to what consti-
tutes evils. He should have named q
few of the existing evils and thus
been more explicit, and not left the
people in doubt.

that the beet sugar factories are

NATURAL RESOURCES.

Charles K. Van Hise. president of
the State University in figures COM
piled for the first time for his new
volume OH the Conservation of the
Natural Resources in the United
States. shows that the large land hold
ers received 1853, 1928, 1873 acres of the
public land, while the small holders
had only los, 5000 acres. 1t Is a
notorious fact that the public lands
have been given away as land grants
to aid many objects of speculative
character which have contributed to
the immense fortunes of few men,
comparatively speaking. Millions of
acres of valuable land have been sold
at a mere nominal figure under laws
enacted to aid in the swindle, which
have passed into the hands of capital
lists, who have sold such land at fig
ures from four to FIVE times what they
paid to actual settlers who needed and
desired homes. The stone and timber
claim law was a swirdle on the
government and people from beginning
to end. by which millions of acres of
valuable timber land was secured by
lumber barons which fact WAS known
to the secretary Of the interior, who,
when appraised uf the fact, was so
tied up by the law that he could do
nothing to prevent it. The fourteen
month communication law was another
swindle and robbery of the public
domain. 1t permitted of the entry of
homesteads, eight months actual resi-
dence on same and they prove up, pay
$500 and get title and then sell the
land to land spectators for what they
were willing to give, thus defeating
the spirit of the homestead law.
Under the provisions of that law
millions of acres of good land went
under the control of the land specula-
tors. But the worse swindle of all,
was the locating Of entries upon land
which it WAS known was to be includ-
ed in Forest Reserves, and then the
government when the reserves were
established issuing scrip to cover the
entry which could be filed on unuccu-
pied government land. The scrip was
purchased at from Sd to SIS per acre by
Watertown leader. [volume] (Watertown, Jefferson County, Wis.) 1909-1911, 1910-10-14

land sharks and filed on timber land
worth from s4U To 800 per acr. The
government kept agents in the field to
see that the poor. but honest home
steader was living up to the require
ments of the law, ignoring the steals
which were being perpetrated, by
reason Of laws enacted for that pur-
pose.
The administration of the land
laws. and the land law, have been a
disgrace to the nation and now that
nearly all the land of value has been
gobbled up. we hear the cry uf Con-
servation of our National Resources
Had judgment and common sense
obtained in the disposition of the
public domain, the government would
have been richer by millions of
dollars.

.ELkS BALL TO Be BRILLIANT.
Elaborate Decorations to Feature An
nual Charity Event.

The committee having charge of
the arrangements for the Elks
Charity Ball which is to be held in
the Armory opera house Friday
evening, are getting the decorations
in place and they promise to excel
anything in that line ever seen in
Bemidji. -:
A mass of white and purple the
Elks colors-are being arranged in
unique formation with lights, banners
and bunting. Elks heads, the finest
specimens to be obtained, are already
in place and electricians are at work
wiring for electrical effects.
Incidently, those who attend the
theatrical performance of Robert
Meikle and his company of Scotch
musicians tomorrow night, will also
have chance to see some of the
decorations, for many of them will
be in place by that time. The deco.
rations are so elaborate that they
had to be put up, despite the show
tomorrow night.

Dunn TO Be SPEAKER;
is PLEDGED TO NORTH

Howard H. Dunn of Albert Lea
will be the next speaker of the lower
house of the Minnesota legislature
which convenes Jan. 2. Mr.. Dunn's
selection was absolutely assured
when the Hennepin delegation in
Minneapolis gave him its unanimous
Endorsement last evening. TIE
fourteen votes from Hennepin, added
to others already pledged to Mi.
Dunn, give him over fifty supporters
out of eighty-nine republican men,
bers or the house. Endorsements
by other districts will follow as fast
as caucuses can be held.
Mr.. Dunn is not a county option
man, but he has promised to appoint
a temperance committee that will
bring the county option bill out on
the floor of the house for a vote. A
similar promise was made before the
republican state convention by S. Y.
Gordon, lieutena Mt governor-elect as
to the senate temperance committee.
Though he comes from the ~ex-
treme southern part of the state,
which will lose by reapportion-
ment of Legislative districts, Mr.
Dunn has pledged his support to
the cause of reapportionment.
He has given special pledge to
the reapportionment advocates.
He will announce the names of
the reapportionment committee
before The republican caucus is
held: elf you don't like the
makeup of that committee" said
Mr.. Dunn to the reapportionment
workers, ttyou will be at liberty
to vote against me in the caucus "
Though not announced, it is under
stood that Chester A. Copgdon of
Duluth will be chairman of the re-
apportionment committee. 1t will
consist of three members from each
of the nine congressional districts,
or twenty.seven in all, but the real
work will be done by a Subcommittee,
which will be named by the chair
man.

''PUssYFooT" BLAMED
! FOR INDIANS ERROR

Cass Lake, MINI, Dec. 7 =
The case of the State of Mime
sofa VS.. Ne gon-be-net, an Indian,
who was, charged with having sold
venison to hotel keepers and others
a week ago, was tried here yester-
day before Judge Ives and a jury
of twelve. The state was repre-
sen ted by J c. Bailey of St. Pam,
attorney for the game and fish
commission, while DR.. House, the
local Indian agent was attorney
for the defence. After hearing
both sides of the jury brought in a
verdict of mot guilty. in about
five minutes. ..7..
This arrest was made a week ago
by Game Warden Toole of this vii
lage. The Indians attorney brought
out that the Indian did not know be
was violating the game laws and
also that he thought he had a right
to hunt game and sell it at anytime.
Thos. E. Harper Of Detroit, who was
here few days after the arrest of
the Indian, claiming he was sent
here by the Department of Justice,
expressed his opinion that as Will
liam E, johnson of ''Pussyfoot" fame
has declared this to be indian
country" the Indian had the right
to hunt or catch any kind of game
at any season of the year, and that
the Indians were not subject
to any laws made by the state game
and fish commission. ....
Game Warden Toole today made
out complaint against Nora Tediord
charged with having purchased veni-
son from the Indian. A fine of $50
and costs was assessed, which was
paid. -

Railroads Shouldn't Be Blamed For
Destruction Of Beltrami Towns De-
clare. c. &N.W. Official
JOHN MATTsON HAS NEW PLAN
Would Have Game Warden. Act Also
foI Protection Of Forest Confer
ence Closes Today.

St. Paul. Mimi, December 7.-R.
H. Ashton, vice president of the
Chicago and Northwestern Railway
company, was the principal speaker
this morning at the Lake States For
est Fire conference, talking on the
subject, the Interest of the Rail-
roads in Protecting the Forests"
Mr.. Ashton denied that it was
through the carlessness of the rail-
roads that many of the forest fires
have been started. = >
It was recently charged that
sparks from a locomotive of Cana
dian railway line started the blaze
which destroyed Spooner and Bau-
dette, and'laid waste thousands of
acres of valuable timber land, caused
the deaths of nearly 100 persons and
resulted in damage estimated at more
than one million dollars.
Mr.. Ashton pointed out the rea-
sons Why the railroads exact care
from their enginemeu to prevent
sparks from engines setting fires to
the woods. He discussed the pro-
posal to have railroads to use oil as
fuel in their locomotives and the en-
.ployment 81 spark arresters on the
engines. -
The conference received a sugges.
ton from John Mattson, game war
den of St. Louis county, Minnesota,
who proposes that the game wardens
of Minnesota be commissioned also
as fire wardens, thus doubling the
number of men whose duty it shall
be to look out for fire danger. Mr..
Mattson suggests that the state
raise $4,000 to pay for this ser.
vice by exacting a universal fee OF
81 from hunters. His plan has been
given consideration by the committee
on resolutions. ..-....
