GRIGGS MEMORIAL VOLUME.

The government printing office has
at last completed the memorial vol
ume containing the addresses on the
life and character of James M.
Griggs, and a number of the books
have been received in Dawson from
Congressman Roddenbery The trib-
utes to the lamented statesman by
senators and congressman from all
parts of the nation are eloquent and
touching, and especially tender and
impressive are the eulogies of Senator
Bacon and Congressman Brantley
and ROddenbery as they portray the
qualities of greatness in a man who
by his own exertions rose from hum
BILE surroundings to a high place in
the country's counsels. No repre-
sentative of the people was held in
higher esteem or had greater influ-
ence at Washington than the man
who for thirteen long years honored
the Second congressional district
with wise, loyal and devoted SER
vice.

AFTER SIXTEEN YEARS.

The congress which convened in
Washington a week ago has a demo-
cratic majority in the lower house
the first of its kind in sixteen years
1t confronts opportunities and re-
sponsibihties of important nature
1t can so act as to be useful to the
people, and perhaps pave the way
for a national democratic victory in
1912. Will it be equal to the oc-
casion? Let US hope so. Further
more, it is pleasant to reflect that
Georgia congressman are prominent
and influential in the democratic
house. One is a member of the pow
erful Ways and Means committee,
two have chairmanships of commit
tees, and the others hold important
committee assignments, which
means all of them will help to de-
eide congressional action.

FRAUD ALLEGED IN LAND DEAL
Government Seeks to Annul Patent
for 100 Acres in Beltrami.

4O4 LUZ x1C4C S Ill oC4I1 oIl1s
Fergus Falls, Mimi, Dec. 1.-THE
United States government has begun
suit in the federal court in this city
to cancel the patent issued to Loren
20 E. Miller, covering: 160 acres of
land in Beltrami county. The gov
eminent alleges that Mr.. Miller, in
order to secure his patent and &C
quire title to the homestead, repre-
sented to the land Office officials that
he was a native born American citi-
zen. but concealed the fact that he
had been in Canada and had there
declared his intention of renouncing
his allegiance to the United States
and becoming a subject of the king
of Great Britain. He had also ap-
piled for a homestead in Canada. The
government therefore alleges fraud
and asks for a decree of the court
setting aside the patent given him
for his land, which is declared to be
worth in excess of $4,000. The com
plant is signed by Attorney General
Wickersham and c.. C. Houpt, United
States district attorney. ~

Dumas for five years and had in that
time been a health officer and mayor
for two years. He said that DR.. Du-

to game birds and animals after the
close of the hunting season., which
tags are required to be attached to
the birds and animals if the persons
who lawfully killed them desire to
keep them for their own consump-
ton. The executive agent replied
as follows, under date of December 7.
