On March Is, 1908, | arrived at
Crabb's Landing on the Steamer
shiloh, and Vas met by John Hat
ley and L ii. Whitfield, whose
friendship | still retain. March
10 / began saving and continued
Until August |. Then ON Monday,
August 3, began a singing school
at Byrd's Hin, where / remained
ten days with the young people,
whom | res Ject and love. Then on
August Is nearly all my class went
with me to the landing, and as the
boat pulled out my class stood on
the bank Of the river and sang
"God Be With You Till We Meet
Again" The song seems to still
ring in my ears, though | may for
get the singers.
Again, Oh April, 1910, l began
saving for Mr.. Whitfield While

Whitfield's to Ed Whitfield's ex-
pecting to catch the Steamer Ken

Prominent Resident and His Daughter
Partake Of Sweets, but Their Lives
Are Saved by Prompt Action-Boxes

Also Found to Contain Poison in
Large Quantities.
Plymouth, Wis.,, Dec. 30.-What
looks like an attempt to poison the
members of three we'll known families
came to light here. In the absence
of the families boxes of candies were
left on the doorsteps of the residences
of E. E. Eastman, secretary treasurer
of the Plymouth Veneer company; J.
E. Curtis, vice president of the Ply
mouth Brewing company, and Will

The candies were in home made
boxes and consisted of chocolates,
lemon drops and other CONNECTIONS.
In each was placed card with best

On the return of the Eastman fam
lily the members ate some of the can
dies and Mr. Eastman and his daugh-

CLAPP'S SEAT NOT IN DANGER
Threatened Opposition Fades Before
Active Work Of His Supporters.

Members of the Minnesota legis-
lature have began to arrive in St.
Panl today for the 1911 session which
opens next Tuesday.
AS the members of the rural coun-
ties come in, the threatened opposi-
ton of Senator Clapp approaches the
vanishing point. The Senator's
managers at headquarters have
ceased to worry
when the up-country members
get in said w. w. Rich yesterday,
this talk of a fight on Senator Clapp
will look like nothing more than a
puff of hot air. We now have four
signatures on the call for a caucus"
Eleven of the 10 members from
Hennepin county have signed the
call, and most of the Ramsey county
members have placed their names to
it. Members from outside the twin
cities are waiting until they come in
to sign with an occasional exception
SenatOr-elect C. w. Odell of Willmar
sent a telegram saying he is for
Clapp, and authorizing his name to
be placed on the call.

Indians Rights association as "phil-
anthropic eastern sentimentalists
who know very little about the In
dian" Many other speeches against
the present policy of the interior
department were made by both white
and Indian speakers.
A committee on committees was
appointed, consisting of A. Kaiser
of Bagley, J. P. Holten of Grand
Forks, J. T. Van Metre of Mahnomen,
J. H. Baldwin of Frazee, and j. K.
West of Detroit: Following the re-
port of this body, committees on fin
ance, resolutions and on the trip to
Washington, to present the mater
to the Indian department., were ap-
pointed, and later submitted their
reports. The resolution committee
supported the bill known as the
"Clapp Amendment but desired
several minor changes in it. G. NJ.
Johnson and Thomas Kenfield of
Detroit were appointed two members
and given the power of selecting the
third to form the committee to go
to Washington.
A delegation of ten Indians from
the tribes on the White Earth reser-
walton will leave for Washington
January Z to assist the three from
Detroit to secure definite action on
the part of the interior department.

COUNTY TREASURER'S
ACCOUNTS CORRECT

Accounts of the county treasurer
OF Beltrami county, George French,
were found to be absolutely correct
by the county board of audit, which
met at the court house today. The
report of the board shows $99,192.54
in the county treasury. Clerk of
Court Rhoda, Auditor Hayner and
Viggo Peterson, chairman of the
county commissioners, form the
auditing board. III. -
The board found that the sinking
fund had been reduced from $4,000
to $4,000, owing to the recent ac-
ton of the county commissioners in
taking up % of the 1000 bonds on
the court house. The county paid
premiums and interest on the bonds
amounting to $1,840.27; these would
have come due June2, 1917, and the
county saved $1,000 by taking up
the bonds at this time. The sink
ing fund is maintained as a perma-
nent deposit with the county depos-
tories.

Gotch CHALLENGES World.

Frank Gotch has issued a formal
challenge to Hackenschmidt or any
other wrestler for a match for the
championship of the world.
Farmer Burns, who for years has
been the champions trainer, made
the formal announcement of the
Iowan's desire to re-enter the Crap
ping game. Burns posted $500 as
a forfeit to bind a match for the side
bet of $4,000, putting the money
up with an Omaha newspaper.
The terms do not brighten Hack
enschmidt. Jack Curley promptly
accepted for the Russian Lion and
probably the only match Gotch will
wrestle will be the invader from the
land of the czar. Jack Herman,
Zbyszko's manager, offers to arrange
a match for one-half of the side-bet
stipulated by Gotch, but in view of
Hackenschmidt' acceptance, the Pole
will probably be ignored

,BEMIOJ| IS INTERESTED
Commercial Club Will Discuss Com
mission Plan of City Government.

Bemidji is actively interested in
the commission plan of city govern
ment. A meeting will be held by
the Commercial Club on next Tues
day evening and at that time the
idea will be thoroughly discussed.

the Commercial Club will look upon
the plan favorably.

election held yesterday in that city.
Mankato, Minnesota, has been try
ing the plan and regards it as a
success.

''AULD ROBIN GREY
IS AT TIVE MAJESTIC
Local Theatre Is Being Well Patron
lied By Large Crowds.

The management of the Majestic
Theatre considers himself fortunate
in having secured two special fea-
ture films from the Vitigraph COM
pany for his New Years program.
The one big feature is the repro
duction of the old Scotch play en-
titled "Auld Robin Grey" Several
locals appeared in last evenings
paper referring to this big feature
which is considered one of the best
feature films that has ever been pro-
duced. It tells the story of an old
love affair which is we'll known to
many of Bemidji citizens, the film
doing justice to the writer of the
play. This film has been the chief
drawing card in every playhouse
where it has been shown, having
packed theatres night after night.
The management expects that after
the first nights showing, his house
will not be large enough to accom-
modate the crowd. T. T. .....
"The Wrong Box" is comedy
telling of an incident where a lover
sends his sweetheart supposedly a
package of cut flowers but through
some unavoidable mistake the
wrong package is sent. This is the
kind of comedy that makes you laugh
and grow fat.
The illustrated song tonight will
be sung by G. J. Woodmansee and is

STATE FORESTRY BOARD
WILL ASK FOR $4,000
Commissioner Will Request Separate
Appropriation to Guard Against Fire.

St. Paul, Dec. 3O.-The Minnesota
state forestry. board met yesterday
and agreed to ask the coming legis-
lature for appropriations in aid of
their work aggregating $4,000.
This request of the state forestry
board has nothing to do, however,
with the appropriation which will
be asked for by the state forestry
commissioner to protect Minnesota
from forest and prairie fires during
the dry season of the next two years.
Ten thousand dollars is desired for
roads, fire lines and trials in and
around Itasca park. Other moneys
wanted are: For care, improve
ments and repairs to the park,
$4,000; continuing tree planting on
Pillsbury reserve, $4,000; for care,
improvement and trails in Burnside
forest, $4,000, and for contingent
expenses of the forestry board,
$4,000.

called because a portion of it bor-
ders the beautiful trout lake of that
name, remains without any improve
ment. To aid in this work $4,000
is asked. During the past two years
the board has given much attention
to Itasca park, which is designated
by law as forest reserve.
Under the act of April II, 1909,
the board has accepted from the Pine
Tree Lumber company donation of
$500 acres on the conditions that the
donors have the right to cut the bal
sam, ceder, pine, spruce and tamarac
eight inches and over in diameter,
four and half feet from the ground
within ten years, and the state with
in such period to pay all taxes; the
state also to have the right to buy
certain marked trees.
The board is considering desired
changes in the state forestry laws.

White and Red Men Gather to Dis
cuss Situation on the White
Earth Reservation.
INDIAN R1D1CULES FASTENERS
"Philanthropic Sentimentalists Who
Know Very Little About the In
dian," He Says.

Nearly 200 business men and re-
representatives. of various commercial
clubs in the vicinity of the White
Earth Indian reservation gathered
in Detroit yesterday and took active
steps toward securing the settlement
of the title disputes over reservation
lands sold in that neighborhood, &C
cording to H. E. Reynolds, secretary
of the Bemidji Commercial Club, who
attended the meeting as a represent
tative of Bemidji and returned to
the city last night. Many Indians
were present and some took promi-
nent parts in the meeting.
Congress declared in 1906 that
mixed blood Indians on this reser-
walton should have the privilege of
selling their lands. Settlers soon
poured into the country and began
to purchase reservation lands, but
when settlement was we'll under way
members of the Indians Rights AS
ISOLATION Of the east and govern
ment agents declared that some OF
the Reds were being cheated, and
the Interior department stopped the
sale of lands. When agents of the
department attempted to learn which
Indians were full-bloods, many of
the half-bloods claimed that they be-
longed to the former class in order
to get the larger payments, thus
making it apparent that some of the
noble Red men" had been defraud
ed.
AS the result of the action of the
Interior department, business on the
reservation is practically at stand
still The legitimate sale of the
lands of the mixed blood Indians has
been stopped, and the development
of the country in the vicinity of De-
troit is being seriously retarded.
Four hundred cases over the titles
to various pieces of land on the re-
servation are pending in the courts
and nearly 700 more are ready to be
instituted
The bushes men who gathered at
Detroit yesterday were determined
to get the mater placed before the
Washington authorities in such a
way that the exact condition of
every Indian on the reservation,
full-blood or mixed, could be deter
mined, the question of titles settled,
and business be resumed on the re-
servation. C. NJ. Johnson of De-
troit was elected chairman, after
President Charles Morris of the De-
troit Commercial Club had called the
meeting to order, and j. L. Pryor
was made secretary.
Mr.. Johnson, on taking the chair,
ing the lands to settlement, the in
rush of men seeking farm homes,
and the present condition of affairs.
John w. Carl of Mahnomen, an edu-
Gated Indian, declared that the time
has arrived when the Indian should
be thrown on his own resources.
Using Carl as Interpreter, Chief Will
liam Potter said that the list of full
bloods had been padded and is in
accurate, that the Indians have been
fairly we'll treated on the whole, and
that much of the agitation of the
department and of the Indians
Rights association was superfluOus.
J. A. Beaulieu of White Earth de-
clared that a pernicious influence is
creeping between his people and the
good intentions of the government,
and he referred to the members of the
