JOHN MUIR, GREAT
NATURALIST, DEAD
DiscOverer of Glacier Which
Bears His Name Succumbs
To Pneumonia

LOS ANGELES, Cal. Dec U.s.
John Muir. the naturalist, died in a
hospital here yesterday, OF pneumonia.
He was 76 years old.
Mr.. Muir was visiting his daugh-
ter Mrs. Helen Muir Funk at Dag
gett, town in the desert OF San
Bernax1ino county. He was stricken
with pneumonia last week. He was
: brought to this city for treatment.
When he arrived here last night
Mr.. Muir was In a critical condition.
John Muir, like John Burroughs,
with whom his name often has been
linked, belonged TO that tradition OF
British naturalists whose work was
so fused with the writer's personality
and so penetrated by individual feel
ing that their output was as much
literature as science.
Born in Dunbar, Scotland, in 1888.
Muir came TO this country at the age
lof IL. and after graduating from the
University of Wisconsin with the
class of 1864, plunged into his life
work of geologist, explorer and nat
uralist
His descriptions of the Yosemite
valley first brought it into national
fame. To the great glacier Muir dis
covered in Alaska, in 1904, his name
was given and as a member of the
belong relief expedition he made
further valuable polar reports.
Later his travels, partly in com.
pany with John Burroughs, took him
to Hawaii, Russia, Siberia, Man
churia. India and Australia, but his
life work was in the mountains in
western America where he made an
elaborate classification OF faunal and
floral life, supplemented by much
descriptive writing. both in book form
and in the periodical press and the
newspapers.
Harvard Yale, Wisconsin and other
universities granted him honorary de-
grees.

Tho decision reads: "In cases like

should be particularly clear and con
vincing. This was not the case IN
the present instance, and the injunc
tions prayed for are, therefore. In
each and every case denied.
There were four applications fol-
Injunction. One was filed by the
Rev. Mr.. Connolley, who alleged that
the prohibition law infringed on con.
stitutional religious rights, In that II
would prohibit the importation OF
wine for sacramento purposes. The
others were filed by druggists and
liquor dealers who held that the law
was confscatory.
In defense of the law, representa-
tives OF the state declared that nc
court could rule that II would inter
fere with the use of wine In estab
lished religious ceremonies.
Immediately after the decision was
rendered. attorneys for Rev. Thomas
M. Connelley, a priest of Tucson, and
for other petitioners, made a motion

The mammoth Christmas tree erect

Shortly after o'clock, Thursday
Afternoon, trumpet blasts announced
to the parcel-laden throng on Wood

LOWER TAXES AND THE NINTH
AMENDMENT.

The adoption Of the 9th Amendment,
providing for state forests, will lower our
taxes. The amendment will increase
our school fund and this will decrease
our school tax. It will also reduce local
as we'll as state taxes by making many
acres taxable property which now pay
but little revenue.
In addition to the immense amounts
of farm land in Minnesota, there are also
areas of land which will never be pro-
fitable for the raising of farm crops.
Most of these lands either have been or
are still covered with forests. Under
our present method of cutting, no at
tempts are made to perpetuate the forest
crop. But the Ninth Amendment will
authorize the State to manage the state
forest lands according to forestry prin-
clples. By not permitting the cutting
OF trees under a certain dimension, and
by cutting in times of favorable seed
years, the forests will be left in shape to
reproduce themselves.
State lands which otherwise will be-
come unproductive are kept, by means
OF the 9th amendment, in forest crops.
With the good example set by the state,
private corporations will follow suit,
and we shall see the time when the non
tillable lands in this state will be pro
ducing timber as a permanent crop.
Untillable lands producing timber will
pay big revenue which will reduce the
taxes on other land.
The Ninth Amendment is a corner
stone for a policy Of this kind. It stands
Tor good business. Not to vote at all is
to vote against it. Remember this

COURT DENIES ME: R Re: i: i n.
Commissioner Of Indian Affairs Will
Proceed to Put on "Lid" in Min
nesota "lndian Country"

II the federal commissioners of In.
dian affairs sees fit to enforce the
Chippewa treaty of 1855 Bemidji and
numerous other towns in Minnesota
covered by that instrument will
be dry" in the future, the United
States supreme court ruled, denying
the application filed by the liquor in
terests just before adjournment last
summer praying for rehearing and
reargument of the Bemidji liquor
case.
Chief Justice White merely made a
memorandum citing denial of the APP
plication and filed it with the clerk
for the record
The court decided last May the
dry provision of the treaty still is
operative. It was further held by the
court that it is within the power of
congress to repeal the prohibition pro-
vision.
Indian Commissioner Sells has an
uOuuSCu C1ldI Ac WILL 0ulOIC0 Lu6 law
to the letter. He is strong prohibit
zionist.
Under the rules the mandate of the
supreme court IN the Bemidji case
will be sent to the lower court in
thirty days.
In enforcing the law in Minnesota,
the Indian commissioner has two
courses open to him. He may seek
summarily to prevent the sale of liq-
uor in all the territory affected, much
of which is occupied by whites, or he
may adopt course designed solely to
prevent liquor finding it's way into
the hands of Indians.
The latter conservative course will
be urged upon him strongly by off.
Gals of the bureau.
The general impression among
those who ought to be advised of
Commissioner Sells views of this par
ticular case is that he will proceed
carefully and only with the view of
keeping liquor away from the Indians.

The members of the department. their
wives and sweethearts assembled at
Turner Hall Saturday evening at 8
o'clock and INDUCED in dancing until the
banquet was ready to be served and
it was nearly nine O. CLOCK when the fire
laddles sat down to the festive board
which was laid in the Social Hall. About
ninety were present in all. The tables
were prettily decorated and the menu
served was one that reflected credit on
the culinary powers of the Turner Frauen-
verein. The ladies have always been
partial to the fire laddies and they
showed it again on this occasion.
Fred Pfaender acted as POSTMASTER
and acquitted himself of his duties in a
very creditable manner. AS on former
similar occasions the Mayor and the
members of the city council and the
appointive officers of the city were the
guests of the Department. They were
all there and from all appearances seemed
to have as much fun as the Fire Fighters
themselves. There was no duty on
merriment and it dubbed forth spon-
taneously while the banquet lasted and
until the last ones left for their homes in
the wee small hours of the morning.
The banquet lasted nearly two hours
after which the guests tripped the light
fantastic until two o'clock and even then
great number of them were not ready
to 60 home. Fred Oswald, the depart
ment's ''Poet Laureate" had prepared
the words for song in which the audience
and the orchestra joined. There were
II stanzas, each illustrated by drawing
prepared by Mrs. Alfred Schroeck.
These drawings were we'll gotten up and
Mrs. Schroeck was highly complimented
on her excellent work.
The main theme that cropped out in
nearly every talk was the proposed new
city hall and the spacious quarters that
are to be provided therein for the De-
partment. Progress was reported on
behalf of the city council, but the mem
bers of the Department were urged to be
a trifle patient, so that no mistake would
be made by putting up a building which
would in the course of ten or twenty
years prove wholly inadequate. Mayor
Fritsche stated that in France volunteer
militia companies are also doing the work
of the fire department. Chief Henry
Engel talked of the amount of money
that is expended by New Ulm every year
for fire insurance and showed how the
rates have decreased in recent years on
account of the efficiency of the Depart
ment. Other speakers were Charles
Brust, ST., Theo. Mueller, Chas, Brust,
Jr., Henry N. Somsen, F. H. Retzlaff, C.
F. Ruemke, Fred Behnke, Fred Hamann
and Emil Wicherski.
The present department was re-or-
gained in the year 1887 and since that
time there has been a steady increase in
the efficiency of it's work until to-day it
has very few if any equals among the
volunteer fire organizations in the State.
AS usual this annual celebration of the
boys passed off in unimpeachalbe style,
with nothing to mar the pleasure of the
occasion.
