Thirty-seven counters, three new
show cases, am immense gold fish
fountain, new shelving and new dis
play windows are among the fea-
lures adder. The sales room is now
1870 feet long by 25 feet wide, with
new steel ceiling complete and

sents a modern appearance, having
two wide aisles running the COM
plete length of the building.
Seven new cash registers have been
added and the trade will be served
by eight clerks. TIL office is now
on an elevated balcony at the rear
of the store. Over the center of the
room is a large skylight and to-
gether with two sidewindows and 4
glass background in the show win
dows, the room is one of the best
lighted in the. city. Hundreds of
palms and ferns are placed about the

The store announces in today's is
sue grand opening for Monday and
according to the proprietor, expects
to draw a large number of visitors
from out of the city.
Mr.. Elliott is making every effort
to meet mail order competition in
this section of the country and is of
the opinion that his efforts in this
respect, in cooperation with other
merchants of the city, will bring this
about. -:
Since the merchants organized
here, much has been accomplished
toward gaining the confidence of the
buyers, both in the city and country,
as well as the surrounding villages
and towns.

WILL ADD IS AUTO CLUBS
Association Day Next Thursday to
Make Minnesota one Of Largest
Automobile Centers of the U. S.
WILL DOUBLE MEMBER SHIP

Association Day." June 25, is 60
ing to be one of the biggest days OF
automobile history in Minnesota
Twenty-four hours of whirlwind cam
|paigning by the combined forces OF
the automobile clubs affiliated with
the Minnesota State Automobile as
ISOLATION on that day will send the
, state sky-rocketing to the top of the
list Of automobile club centers of the
| United States. On June 26, Mime
sofa will wake up and find herself
the leading automobile state of the
| Union.
On Association Day" every auto
mobile club in the state, including
that of Bemidji, will start on a So
| ciability tour to some one of its
neigh boring towns. Whole families
will join in the festivities and take
along with them their picnic baskets,
fishing tackle and other paraphern-
MALTA incidental to a days outing.
But before the tourists start for
home on the evening of June rs they
will have organized new automo-
bile club in each of the towns visit
ed; or, if any of the towns already
have clubs, the memberc will have
been induced to affiliate with the
state association.
Minnesota already has 40 clubs
which belong to the state associa-
ton and unless the plans and expec-
tations go entirely amiss, there will
be at least IS clubs on the roster
when the campaign is ended. This
will place the North Star state far
ahead of New York and Pennsylva-
MIA, the only two states in the coun-
try which exceed Minnesota in num-
Der of automobile clubs.
With a membership of more than
1000, the officers of the state asso-
citation believe that an increase of at
least SO per cent can easily be &C
complished. The officers of the va
rious clubs have been notified of the
plans for "Association Day" and let
tiers are being received daily assur-
ing that every effort will be put
forth to make the membership cam
paign big success
| Here are three things which 1t
will mean for the automobile owners
of the state:
| Greater progress for the good roads
movement.
Protection against "wild-cat" leg,
islation.
A reasonable license tax.

RUSH WHITE EARTH
INDIAN LAND CASES
g. g. Daniels, Government Attorney
Says !, 800 Suits viii be Taken
Up at Fergus Next November.
500, 100000 TIMBER
Denies that United States Supreme
Court Decisions Settled 800 Ac-
tions Obtain Dispositions.

s. G. C. Daniels, attorney in charge
of the White Earth Indian reserya-
tion matters for the department of
justice, in a statement of Importance
to all the country contiguous to the
reservation announced at Mime
apolis yesterday that the government
would be prepared to take up the
first Of the 1900 case involving title
to Indian lands at the November
term of the Federal district court
at Fergus Falls.
Every effort. will be made to ex-
pedite these cases" Mr.. Daniels said,
"and the department. is in full sym
patty with the desires of the bust
ness interests of Detroit and other
towns near the reservations that the
entire matter be cleared up as ra-
pidly as possible - -
IS As to Courts Decision
Mr.. Daniels said that although
there is an impression that the re-
cent supreme court. decision defining
the status Of Indian mixed bloods
under the Clapp act. has cleared up
500 Of the pending cases this. is not
the situation
''All cases that the s. goyernm en- t
brought were: started on the theory
that full blood Indians made the
sales, and on information to that eff
feet obtained by the department" he
said
J While the United States supreme
court decision was vitality important,
and indeed no further progress to-
wards clearing UP the matter could
be made until it was handed down,
it does not disposefof the cases. The
situation as to trial of the cases re-
mains the same, and the government
is entitled to win. all cases where it
can prove its contention that full
blood Indians made. the transfers.
Involves $1,000,0O0 Timber.
Mr.. Daniels said that the 1900
cases involved about 500 allotments
and about <$1,0D0,0 00a-Morth of tim
Der. we are entitled to win all
cases and recover for the timber
value where our contention is prov
ed,' he said.
Mr.. Daniels said that the express
ed sentiments of the business inter
ests Of Detroit that the land titles
be cleared so that the country may
be settled by farmers and Legitimate
development be longer retarded, is
no stronger than is the desire of the
government to clear away tn whole
matter -
= "It can only be cleared by trial
of the cases." he added. eve now

sitions and have notified the other
side of what we are doing, that they
may likewise prepare for the open
ing Of the court term in November

BOARD TO HEAR
ANOTHER BIG CASE
Commerce Commission to Inves::
tigate How the Baltimore & Ohio
Was Made to Absorb G. H. & D.
MYSTERY OF NEW HAVEN ORDER
Part Played by Hartman and Nor.
gan Recalled-1s Expected to Gre
ate Great Public Sensation.
BY Congressman c.. II. Tavenner.

Washington, June 2O.-Just as
soon as the Interstate Commerce com
mission can get through with it's in
vestigation of the New Haven rail-
road, it will turn it's attention ia
another chapter in high railroad fin
ance, the story of how the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad was made to absorb
the G.. Fl. & d. under the kindly d.
rection Of George Fl. Perkins, right
hand lieutenant of J. P. Morgan.
There is a mystery in both cases.
In the New Haven matter the mys-
terry concerns the 100000 which
completely disappeared from the
New Haven Golfers, and which is
shrewdly suspected to have found a
safe hiding place in the vaults of j..
P. Morgan e Co.
But if the public gasped when
Mellen told the story of the New
Haven, a still greater sensation is
coming when the commission begins
to probe into the mysterious c. H.
4 D. affair. For apparently the B.
& O. absorbed the G. H. & D. with
out the payment of a penny-that
is so far as the cOmpany's books
show any transaction The compa-
ny's books are absolutely innocent Of
any clue leading to the payment for
the C. H. & D.
Yet prior to this absorption the
G.. n. & d. was owned by J. P. Nor
gan, and the late Mr. Morgan was
not in the habit Of handing over
valuable railroads which he owned
to the first conner without money
and without price. 1t is suspected
that the house of Morgan cleaned up
some $5O,OOO,OOO on this deal, which
has been kept completely out of sight
Of inquisitors.
The story Of the c.. Fl. & D. is this.
The road was faltering under the
management of some Boston finan-
cicrs, but these gentlemen believed
they saw prosperity ahead if they
could link the C. H. e D. with some
road further north and thus form
a north and south trunk line sys-
tenn. Accordingly they acquired the
Pere Marquette railroad and pro-
ceeded with their splicing.
These activities came to the at
tention of the late e. H. Hartman
and the late j. P. Mogran simulta-
neous!y, and Fo.h kings agreed that
it was presumptuOus for anybody else
to be thinking Of forming new rail-
road without consulting Hartman
or Morgan. Accordingly the little
game was broken up. The C. H. &
y. was thrown into receivers
hands, and shortly afterwards was
bought by Morgan
1t was Morgan's next move to I'M
load this property at good profit
on some railroad with a plethoric
treasury. He picked out the Erie
railroad for the goat, but Hartman,
although he was then dying, op-
posed this merger and Morgan de-
sisted, fearing war with Hartman.
SO the B. & O. was selected to be
the victim, the transaction having
the sanction Of Hartman. Perkins
did the financing. How the job was
done it yet a mystery for the B. &
O. books do not show the purchase
price. 1t will be the task of the
commission to unravel this skein Of
jugglery. The case will be heard
in the fall
