COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
j PECULIAR SITUATION

The situation in Minnesota concern
Ing the wet" and dry" portions OF
che state is very peculiar A large
section, including the city of Duluth
and . part of Minneapolis, was for
merly owned by the Indians; and
when in the years between 1850 and
1866, Indian treaties were negotiated
ceding to the United States about
three fourths of the total area of the
state, 1t was expressly stipulated that
the statutes of the United States pro-
hibiting the introduction and sale of
spirituous liquors in the Indian coun-
try should be the law throughout the
country coded until otherwise directed
by congress. AS the years passed,
this provision of the old treaties had
become practically a dead letter in
Ill those settlements from which the
Indians had disappeared. A few
years ago, however, the supreme
court upheld the treaties and pro-
nounced liquor selling unlawful.
More recently circumstances arose
In connection with an Indian reserva-
ton which compelled Secretary Bal
linger, by virtue of his executive
authority, to order that prohibition
be forced sll over the region which
was coded BY the Indians half cen
fury ago. Congress, however, may
nuliify the prohibitory clauses of the
Indian treaties by statute, and the
Minnesota cities like Duluth and
Minneapolis are eager that congress
take action for their relief. The anti
saloon league of Minnesota says that
the treaties shall not be nullified by
congress. and thus struggle is
precipitated.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE RULES
 IN FIVE STATES

SPOKANE, Wash, Nov. 16. - One hundred and thirty thousand women were added to the voting strength of the state of Washington by the adoption of an amendment for equal suffrage to the constitution at the election on November Sth. Formal announcement will be made by Governor Hay within ten days, or as soon as the official canvass of the returns has been completed. Women who are taxpayers also are eligible for jury duty. The women of Spokane probably will cast their first votes at an election to ratify the new charter, which provides for a commission form of government.
 Mrs. May Arkwrignt Hutton of Spokane, president of the Washing ton Political Equality League, enter tained her co-workers and a large number of advocates of equal suf frage at a banquet the evening of November 10th, when it was an- nouneed that November 24th had been set aside as a special day of thanksgiving for the newly enfran- chised women of the state. Mrs. Hutton said:
 CT attribute the success of the movement largely to the broad mind ed ideas of the men of Washington, who stand for a square deal in all things. Another reason for our sue cess is the fact that the manage ment of the campaign has been at all times under the control of the women of the state. Minnie J. Key holds, formerly of Colorado, did ex- cellent work, and to her the women of this state owe much for their great victory at the polls last Tues day.
 Arrangements are now under way for celebration in honor of adding the fifth state to the suf frage banner of states that will be the most remarkable demonstration of the campaign in this state, or, in fact, in any part of the Northwest. "

TERRITORIAL ROAD
 FINISHED NINE MILES
(From Fridays Daily.)

Nine miles of the Territorial high way, south of Prescott, are finished, and in a few days work will be abandoned for the winter months. At present the concrete bridge across Wolf Creek is being com pleted, and the force employed in re- tracing work from there to this city. It is reported the completed stretch will be oiled in the next few days, in order to insure it against damage from water.
 Engineer R. c. Sparks, in charge of the work, while in the city, yes terday, stated that the severe rains of the past few days have not dam aged the grade, although heavy volume has fallen. He expects to be transferred to the Douglas end of the system for the winter, and will probably return in the spring, when operations will be resumed.

SEVEN PRISONERS
 LODGED IN JAIL
(From Thursdays Daily.)

(trom Thursdays Dally.)
 When the roll was called last night in the county jail, seven new prisoners were counted behind the bars. Attaches of the sheriff's of flee declare that the day was a rec ord breaker in receiving lawbreakers. A visitor suggested that the ap- proach of the eclipse of the moon had something to do with the evi- dent decline of moral vitality but this belief is not shared by the of fieers, who are more inclined to sus- piciOn than superstition.
 On the afternoon train from Asn Fork, Deputy Sheriff Bartlett had four in custody, all under thirty day sentences, convicted of disturbing the peace. Two others paid their fines. Through the diligence of this officer, it is said, serious trouble was averted at that point.
 Laer Deputy Sheriff Keeler had a lively time in arresting another "hombre" who was insulting women and others along Norta Granite street, and became so belligerent that his conduct oeeasioned consider able anxiety. He will have his trial today.
 At the Tinsler Flats, in West Prescott, Claudio Angueno became involved in a quarrel with a Mexi- can woman, and when he emerged from the affray had a bad knife wound in the right leg, above the knee. He was placed in the county jail and will have his trial today. He was arrested by Deputies Raible and Young after a lively tussle.
 Chief of Police Fred Hawkins, dur ing the afternoon, arrived from Jer- ome with Pedro Jiminez in custody, held to answer to the grand jury, charged with assault with intent to commit murder. It will be remem- bered he attempted to assassinate Officer Pudgens in that city in the same manner that Officer King was killed, but Hudgens was too quick for him, and sent a bullet into his body, since when he has been in the hospital The bullet mas never been extracted. and Jiminez has recovered sufficiently to be arraigned.
