Bemidji Operators Of Drinking Estab-

'Pussyfoot' Johnson Issues State
ment in Which He Says That His
Contention is Sustained.

Many of Bemidji's saloon men are
confident that Cato Sells, commission
er of Indian Affairs, will soon issue
orders calling for the enforcement
OF the liquor law on authority given
him by the decision of the United
states supreme court, which declar-
ed dry all of the portion of Min
nesota, effecting fifteen counties, in
cluded in the 1855 treaty with the
Chippewa Indians, and are prepared
to close their doors.
Enough liquor is being kept on
hand to carry on business, but when
the order comes to lock UP shop

meantime developments will be
awaited with much interest.
Decision Pleases Sells.
Those familiar with the attitude
toward which Sells regards the In
dian liquor question, feel certain
that he will make no delay in clos
ing the saloons, and expect that soon
after. his conference with Henry
Larson, chief of the SUPPRESSION of liz
qror selling in Indian territory,
which is to be held in few days,
, that the course to be followed will
|'be made public. Larson is well
known in Bemidji, having been sta
toned here for several mon tbs, hav-
ing charge of many of the raids
made in this section of the state.

Mr.. Sells admitted that he has
been considering advocating addi
l,tional legislation as to the sale of Ii
Quor in Indian. country, the effect If
which might be to reduce the area
in Minnesota declared dry by the
supreme court.
| Contention Sustained. 49,
II have not read the text of the
supreme court decision" said Will
liam E. (Pussyfoot) Johnson, "but
it is clear by original contention in.
closing the saloons in the district af-
fected by the treaty of 1855 is sus-
tanned completely.
Duty to Protect Indians.
II closed the saloons not because
the treaty existed, but because the
saloons habitually sold and furnish
ed liquor to Indians whom it was
my own duty to protect. It became
necessary to close these places to &C
complish my purpose of protecting
the native races. ...
Victory Of Importance.
'"The effect of the decision is to
dry up not only all of the treaty
cession of 1855, but also parts of
the cession of 1854 and 1868. 1t
means that the supreme court intends
to back up congress in it's effort to
protect the Indians from the liquor
dealers and is a victory of far reach
ing Importance" - -.

Provisions of Putnam and Benson

More Advantage to Farmers.

More Than One Agriculturist.

While the county agent plan as
endorsed by the Northern Minneso-
ia Development association at its
Thief River Falls convention is COM
monty regarded as a proposition of
much merit, the impression appears
general in Beltrami county that the
Putnam or Benson-Lee laws would
be more advantageous here.
One Putnam School. &
At the present time there is but
one Putnam school in Beltrami coun-
ty, being the Bemidji high school,
with Bueford M. Gile as agricultur-
ist. There are AZ schools in
the state under the law, each receiv-
ing $4,000 aid from the state each
year. There are NO schools in the
county receiving the benefits of the
Benson-Lee law, although there are
"a in the state. According to this
law, each school able to come within
it's provisions receives $1,000 year.
Nine Consolidated Schools. :
Due much to the energetic efforts
of w. B. Stewart, county superin-
tendent of schools, Beltrami county
leads the state in number of con-
solidated schools, there being nine.
This method bring the various
communities closer together, there
by providing better educational fac
ilities. - > '~.'.. ~
According to the provisions of the
laws mentioned, by which aid IS
given to schools for the maintenance
of industrial departments, the grad
ed institutions and those having high
school courses are provided for. At

which come within the consolidated
class, domestic economy and manual
training is now taught and should
application be made asking. that

Of Great Benefit.

VI OAVdC oC1ACut.
In this way each community could
have it's own agriculturist and the
problems of the territory covered by
him could be studied from the many
angles and advice given to the farm
ers. He would be working for the
interests of the community all of the
time and the advantages to he de-
rived, would, of course, be many. On
the other hand the county agent
would have the entire county to
cover and he would be able to de-
vote only part of his time to any of
the different sections. I. -
Size Of County Considered.
In the securing Of a county agent
the size of territory to be covered
must be considered, for in many
counties he could not cover and take
care. of all needs. The state aid
proposition is sure to attract q great
deal of attention because of this
condition. ~

MERCURY PUTS
ON SOME SPEED
Climbs Past the 81 Mark and
Straw Hats Are Still
Comfortable.

The mercury made one of its quick
est climbs of the season today. At 3
o'clock in the morning it stood at the
40 mark, and for the next three or
four hours assembled in it's usual
earlymorning leisurely gait.
About o'clock, however things got
started and every succeeding hour
found the temperature three or four
degrees higher than at the last read
ing. At noon 70 was reached, and at
2 o'clock 49,
Unless the forecaster has been de-
ceived, however we are not in for
any hot spell. The mild northeast
zephyr which Travelled scarcely mile
an hour all day showed signs of
freshening and also there were clouds
gathering rapidly in the distance.
As the forecaster saw things at
noon the present fair weather was
due to give way to cloudiness tomor-
row and showers before tomorrow
night seemed probable.
He would not admit that the pleas
ant weather is being short circuited
in the interest of the hatters who
want to drive the obstinate straws
to the shelves, but from the number
of holdouts seen on Market and
Broad some harsh measure will be
needed.
Every fall more and more people
refuse to put away the straw boy on
September Is, according to custom.
The dealers themselves broke the
opening date to make the season
long enough TO require two hats, and
now folks are disposed to wear the
kind of hat that suits them. There
are not very many independents so
far, but the hatters who keep close
watch over such things say the num-
Der is growing and they would like
some way to check the tendency.
Stretching the old three-month
season into four months has not had
the anticipated effect of increasing
the sale of straw hats, as everyone
seems to have got the habit of clean
ing the hat as often as the shoes,
and now the dealers fear that the in
dependent spirit and a couple Of
powders will keep the straw boys on
the job until Christmas.
That may not be the reason for the
threatened showers tomorrow, but
who knows?
