in jeopardy by the supreme court de-
cision, according to estimates of
brewers, who have been in close
touch with the situation.
That Sells has the power to do so is
uniuestioned. the decision of the
supreme court Of the United States
given Monday, Oct 10, affirms the
decision Of June, which declared that
the Indian treaties are in full force
and effect, and shall continue and
be in force until otherwise provided
by congress"
E. S. Oakley of Duluth, assistant
to Alfred Jaques, United States dis
trict attorney, was asked Saturday
regarding the rumors that another
court action to prevent the prohibi-
ton of the liquor traffic in the Indian
country in the northern part of the
state was about to be undertaken.
1.-THE decision of the supreme court
is very full and explicit" said Mr.,
Oakley. Under. it the department of
Indian affairs has absolute authority
to close saloons in all territory In

clnded In the original treaties"
Cites Scope of Decision.
Asked if it were possible that the
commissioner might enforce only the
prohibition of selling liquor to the
Indians, or that he might enforce the
lid only in Bemidji, since Bemidji
was the only city mentioned in the
decision of the court as place in
which treaty restrictions remained in
force, Mr.. Oakley said: He cannot
legally do so, under the decision
given"
The 1855 treaty follows:
Treaty of February %, 1855.
article VII. The laws which have
been or may be enacted by congress,
regulating trade and intercourse with
Indian tribes, to continue and be in
force within and on the several reser-
vations provided for herein; and
thise portions of said laws which
prohibit the introduction, manufac-
ture, use Of and traffic in, ardent IL
quors, wines or other liquors in the
Indian country, shall continue and
be in force within the entire boun-
daries of the country herein coded to
the United States, until otherwise
provided by congress"
Since the making Of the treaty of
1855, the country then coded to the
United States, with the exception of
the portions set apart for Indian res

The term sportsman" receives a
new and enightening meaning

lier party of seven. recently returned
from the wilds. of Megantic. who, glee-
fully told a local scribe of taking 200
pounds of trout or. between 200 and
800 fish, from the Canadian brooks.
Natural Indignation might be halt
ed by the local and selfish reflection
that, after all, the sdeyasted trout
brooks were not in Vermont but in
Canada. where the policy of consery-
ing the fish and game has not been as
carefully considered and carried out
as In this state, but every judicious
sportsman should weep at the spiri,
of these Montpelier gentlemen who
tell their artless tale so significantly.
This did not represent the entire
CATCH" says the reports. THE party
had all they could eat and did not
save the fish until towards the end of
their stay in order to bring the fish
out fresh"
1t is apparent. therefore, that the
catch of this interesting aggregation
of sportsmen must. have been 1000
and over. which it,would certainly, be
hard to Justify on any other basis
than one associated with bristles and
a truncated snout.
In the party were two Civil war
veterans, Lewis Wood, who is 20
years of age. and George NJ Felt, who
is TO-" Mr.. Wood, we learn with such
pride as we muster, was the cham

for eating 80 trout at one meal. Just

Col. Epes Randolph Tells
Of the Need of Control

At the time of the submission Of
the alleged proposal of the Southern
Pacific Company through the CM
Company the Press wired Colonel
Epes Randolph for further informa
ton. A personal letter from Colonel
Randolph has just been received, stat
ing that he has been in the mountains
and he has just received the tele-
gram.
The letter states his position in a
way that the Press feels it should
be made public, and the letter is thus
given:
GAS you already know and as every
inteligent man in the valley should
know, | am the originator of the plan
to sell the water system to the peo-
PIE of the valley, and l have never
favored any other plan. In fact, at
the time | got Mr.. Hartman to save
+ that valley, outlined the plan where
by the people could ultimately buy
the water system from the Southern
Pacific Company, and pay for it at ac-
4 tual cost-no more and no less-and
i had in my mind what, in my opin-
ion, was a very much better and cas-
ier plan for the payment of the same
than the present. But that makes
10 difference. Conditions hav-
changed. The Southern Pacific Com
rany, as l understand It, has name,
4 rice that it will take for its III
itelegt, payment to be made N honds
rhe only contingency being that the
:, cnds shall be salable. All of this il
a matter that l have nothing to d'
with, but l heartily favor any ar
rahgement that will pass the propert,
from the hands of the Southern Pa
cific Company and turn it oyer to th
} people of the valley. But, unless tn
river is controlled, and quickly a

over to anybody, for there will be nc
water in the valley and that regioa
will again become a desert

have no interests in common with the
Brant-Chandler people, except the in
terest which should be common to all
of us, and that is the saving of the
valley | will repeat what / said to
you and others in the valley when
recently made trip for the sole
purpose of discussing this matter, and
that is that you had better get to-
gethcr, and do so now, and take steps
To put that river back into its orig
inal channel and keep it there. The
money should be furnished by the gov
ernment, but if the government will
not furnish it the property owners
will have to arrange TO do il, and
there is no time to be lost. Il will
take six months to do-the work and
the river will be in flood time again
certainly next June and maybe long
Lefora that. You can spend quar-
ter Of million to three hundred thou
sand dollars and raise and lengthen

ture will give you protection for only
one year more, and therefore, instead
of throwing away that amount Of
money for one years lease Of life, the
permanent control Of the river should
be looked to without delay.

French machine gun fire moved the
Uhlans down in two charges, and one
fourth Of the Germans were killed,
wounded or captured.
At Longwy, on the Belgian-French
frontier, where two German officers
and twenty men are reported to have
ioes-r killed. --' - ------.--. .--
At Allenstein, East Prussia, where
twenty Russians were killed in an at

was q cavalry engagement.
At Lachlucht, on the Franco-Ger-
man border in the Vosges mountains.
Shots were exchanged, but so far as
known no one was Killed.
At Walbeck, near Coblentz, where
a party of French officers are said
to have been repulsed in an attempt
to crcss the border in German uni
forms.
At Libau, where a German cruiser
bombarded the port and set the town
afire. There are no figures on the

At Hohenzalza, where the German
One Hundred Fifteenth infantry cap

the town of Kaflisz, in Russian Po-
land, with the aid of a machine gun
company.
At Nancy, where a French aviator
is reported to have destroyed Ger

To Bring Them Home.

Washington, Aug. 4.-The presi-
dent has taken the following steps
for relief of Americans in Europe:
Congress will be asked Immediately
to appropriate $2,0O0,O00, to be dis
rersed by this government through its
agents in Europe.
Congress will be asked to author
ize the secretary of the treasury to
appoint fiscal agents to disburse the
funds.
The secretary has asked DR.. A. C.
Miller of the federal reserve board
to work out a practical plan and Of
ficials of the war and navy depart
ments will be designated to co-ope-
rate with Miller. Miller will be re-
quested to get in touch with steam
ship companies to provide ships, even
coastwise ships if necessary, and ia
provide arrangements to send ships
flying the United States flag to vari
Gus European ports. This was de
oided at conference at the White

Germany Declares War.
(BY FREDERICK Wernerl


Berlin, Aug. 4.-Germany is at wa~
with / rance. This was officially an
nounced by Imperial Chancellor Won
Hollweg, who gave the fol-
lowing statement to the International
News Service today:
Germany considers state of war
exists between Germany and France,
owing to the latter's encroachment on
Germany territory"
1t is asserted this is not declar-
alton of war, but no further action
by Germany is necessary. 1t is the
desire of the Kaiser that France shall
be the one to declare war.
The German troops have seized all
railroads in western Poland, stead
lily driving back the Russian troops
who oppose their advance. Bridges
destroyed by the Russians as they
fell back are being reconstructed by
the German military. Warsaw will
be invested in short time, and Ger
man land and sea forces will Coop
crate in an attack on St. Petersburg.
It is believed the Russian court and
government soon will withdraw to
Moscow. Three important functions
in Poland have been captured by Ger
man troops.
