lnterestino Visitor.

A caller on George e. Perley today
was Rev. M l.. Sutherland, superin-
tendent of the Northern Mime
sota Congregational Sunday School
society. His office and head
quarters are at Detroit, MINI. His
visit was for the purpose OF a con-
ference with local workers. For a
long time the reverend gentleman has
been doing similar work at Ames, la.
Becoming reminiscent, Mr.. Sutherland
remarked that eighteen years ago he
was pastor Of the Congregational
church at Fergus Falls He was first
In the Red river valley in 1881 and
again In 1Ss3-in those times there
was more street activity than there
is now. 1t was always felt that Fargo
would become the leading city in the
state and great mercantile center,
but conservatives In those days pre-
dicted that Ut would take great many
years to build UP a great population.
Mr.. Sutherland added that he was In
the city of Fargo the day Fargo coll
1ege was really founded and If ever
local pride was ever felt In a town
1t was seen In the people Of Fargo then.

NEW WOE FOR THE SALOONS.
A Sitting Up and Taking Notice Al
Remidji.

Saloonmen and liquor dealers, at
Bemidti and other northern Minnesota
towns, are on the anxious seat again
and to a man up tree 1t looks as
though their lease of business life may
be snapped off any mintue.
There is anxiety over the reappear-
ance of H A. Larson, a deputy In
dian agent, and he frankly admits that
his business has to do with the selling
of liquor to Indians, and that reports
and evidence have been received by his
department that the red men are be-
ing supplied with liquors and Hbitum
and ii 1 to be stopped. He has one
lead to big source of supply which
is a big one and that he will have
very shortly.
Another source Of anxiety is that
ii is known that few days ago pa
pers were received in Minneapolis from
the department Of justice in Wash
ington which means the taking of
the Willard decision under the pro-
lection of which saloons here are to-
ing business, will be taken to the
United States circuit court of ap-
peals.
Should the higher court reverse the
decision the sale Of liquor in Indian
territory would again become haz-
ardous, and until that decision is
known the liquor business in this
district can not be carried on on a
solid basis.

Chicago Gossip.

Chicago, Oct. 17.-Corn specialists
say that most of the local traders
have little corn bought, that many OF
those who are bulliAl have tired of
the continued dragging tendency of
the market the past month and have
gradually sold out. Patten has a big
line of December bought and can make
II uncomfortable for those who are
short unless there is good weather
from now on. The pit element are
fighting the advance, as most of them
are bearish. but have made little head
way. Cutten, who is bullish is buy
ing on all breaks and was the largest
buyer yesterday. Some of the cash
handlers who have been bearish for
months said last night that they be-
lieved that corn would do to buy at
81 cents for December and SIS cents for
May. They say the east has no stock

Salt on French Roads.

As general rule the roads in and
around French towns are tarred at the
commencement of the summer In or

however, been found that tar, al
though excellent in the case Of maca.

where car lines exist and paved street
crossings intersect the roads in every
direction, as tarring cannot be Carried
out on stones.
The authorities, basing their action
on the well known hygrometrical prop

test OF its value in laying the dust.
Twenty yards Of roadway have been
sprinkled literally with salt and then
