CONGRESS MAY have
ExTRASESSIONSA SAYS
CONG. Lh>>eRG Gil
Representative of Sixth Distl. q
lieyes Action Will Be Taken
in Near. Future.
CONCEDED THAT PRESIDENT
WILSON'S FOREIGN POLICY BEST
Is Cruising Down Mississippi to In.
spect Flooded Lands-Will Report
-. to- National Government.

Congress will probably have an
extra session this fall in order to be
able to get to actual work by the
time the regular session begins
~ This is the opinion of Congress-
man Charles A. Lindbergh who with
his son was in Bemidji over Sunday.
This morning he left for Cass Lake
where he will continue his cruise
down, the Mississippi inspecting the
flooded lands to Little Falls. The
congressman made the trip from Lake
Itasca to Cass Lake this spring.
Wilson's Policy Best.
1T is generally conceded around
my district" said the congressman,
that President Wilson's foreign pol
icy is for the best. However, I be-
lieve that Congress will have a siren
uous session. I do not look for any
action on the Indian treaty, although
Congress has the power. Any action
would place number of congress-
men on record as to being for the
wet or dry territory and they will
refuse to do this for a local issue.
Important Matters for District.
1.-The injunction suit which is be-
ing brought by the Chippewas is, of
course, strictly legal matter. The
Sixth district will probably see two
important matters to them taken up
by Congress.
Zone is pertaining to the trip that
am now taking Although am not
acting for the government 1 will re-
port to it my observations of the river
rights in this section. The matter
should probably be divided into three
subjects, agricultural rights, power
rights and navigation rights I have
been given to understand that an
engineer of the government inspected
some of these lands The agricul-
tural interests are more Important
than the average person realizes.
Must Determine Level.
Another matter which is of in
terest to this district is the determ-
ination of the Lake of the Woods lev
els. An international commission
will meet at: Warroad Tuesday and
discuss the matter"
Congressman Lindbergh was of the
opinion that the near future would
see some decided action in regard to
the rural credits plan which he is
proposing. The plan has been op-
posed by the larger banks who de-
sire to see a system work through
their banks and possibly under the
direction of the Federal Reserve
board.
Silent on Politics.
When questioned as to national
politics the congressman would smile
and say that Congress would not meet
until this fall for the term to which
they were elected to in 1914.

MACKENsEN NOT SCOTCH

Glasgow, Aug. 22.-(By
mail. Scotland rejects, with
authority, the claim that
General Mackensen, the we'll
known German general, is a
Highlander gone astray.
Leading Scots have sought
out, the origin of Mackensen
to their evident satisfaction.
Mackensen, they discover,
takes his name from the vii
lage of the same name on the
Solling, in Hanover, near Hill
desheim. He is of q family Of
ancient Germans and "is no
sort of a Mackenzie" the
Scots declare.
