LIQUOR ''LID' IS ON TIGHT
Bemidji Dry For the First Time in
It's Existence Saloon Men Abide
by Treaty Order.
SOFT DRINKS SUBSTITUTE BOOZE

For the first time in its existence,
Bemidji is dry"
At eleven o'clock last evening the
doors of several saloons which were
open yesterday were locked and the
day of liquor sales in Bemidji has
passed into history, perhaps forever,
only action of congress now being
able to remove the "lid" which has
so tightly been adjusted by order of
the Department of Indian affairs.
This morning found the fixtures
of five previous saloons being used
for the providing of soft drinks, with
several more considering the advis-
ability of following suit. Not drop
of whisky was obtainable in Bemidji.
No disorder marked the farewell"
of the saloons last night and as the
closing hour approached the stocks
of every bar room had been complete
ly sold out. Record sales were reg
istered in each saloon which operated
yesterday.
Viii it is probable that several
men who have been put out of bust
ness by the closing order will leave
Bemidji, most of them have made
preparations for the future, several
planning to go to their farms while
others have arranged to enter into
other business enterprises.
There is likely to be certain
amount of blindpigging, as such a
condition always arises under con-
ditions of this kind, but the govern
ment has announced that it will
trace and prosecute to the limit of
the law all guilty of such acts, and
this fact, it is believed, will keep the
unlawful practice at = minimum.
There is one proposition which is
certain to create great inconvenience
If rigidly enforced by the govern
ment, the keeping of alcohol by drug
gists Alcohol is a necessity in the
making of medicine tinctures and at
the hospitals certain cases are treated
only by alcohol rubs Efforts will
be made to cause the government to
allow druggists and hospitals to keep
necessary quantities on hand.
"The wiping out of the saloons is
making a wonderful change in Be-
midji-working transformation, !"
said one man this morning. The
barkeeper and his white apron will
disappear and in the place of the fire
water of the redman and the lumber
jack will come dainty maids with ice
cream and hot chocolate and tiddle-
de-wink tea" a
Much interest is shown here in
connection with just what action will
be taken concerning other cities of
the treaty territory" r. ~ -..:..
The Bemidji brewery, with it's pay
roll of approximately 700 month,
has discontinued business and it is
one of the heaviest, if not the heavi-
est, losers of the treaty order.

London, Dec 1-Russias forces, 1t
Is reported, at last have reached Cra-
COW, the Aust. ian fortress in North
western Calicia, near the boundaries
of Russian Poland and the German
province OF Silesia. An Italian cor
respondent at the front says CracoW
is being bombarded by heavy siege
guns and that one Of the suburbs is in
flames.
The correspondent of the Army Mes
senger, Ruasia's military organ, as
serts that the Russian troops are
abreast of Cracow, but does not In
dicate that the fortress is being bonn
barded. This correspondent says the
defenders Of CracoW ere being turned
on the south side. This turning move
ment probably is being attempted by
the Russian army moving westward
through Ga!icia. To the north Of Cra-
COW, in Southern Russian Poland, the
German Official statement says moth
ing of note has occurred.
The capture of CracOW has been one
OF the main objectives of the Russian
campaign against Austria, on the she
cry that it's fall, with the fall Of
Przemysl, the Ga!ician fortress now
sendancy in that part Of Austria which
lies north of the Carpathian noun
tains. The Russians also have hopes
Of extending their campaign beyond
Cracow, either. westward to the rich
German province of Silesia, or south
ward into the heart Of Austria. The
German statement indicates that the
German Austrian army defending the
Silesian border northwest Of Cracow
is not being hard pressed by the Rus
SLAMS.
Different Opinions in West. S'
Opinions differ sharply as to the in
tentions Of Germany concerning op-
eratOns in the west 1t is reported
that Germany is about to embark on
new offensive movement; that the
allies are about to assume the Of
fensive; that the German line has
been weakened perceptibly, and that
a new German army is being rushed
into Flanders. Whatever the German
plan may be, official statements from
the opposing sides indicate there is
little actual fighting in the western
area.
The German official statement says
there is nothing of Importance to re-
port from the western theater of war,
while the French statement says in
Belgium the Germans are remaining
on the defensive; that the enemy's
artillery fire has been feeble, and
that the allies have made progress at
certain points. In the vicinity of Fay
the allies say they hold positions
which they occupied Nov. 2S.
