 Forces Prohibition

MINNEAPOLIS.-A dispatch from Bemidji says: Hundreds of saloon keepers in the entire northern sec tion of Minnesota will lock their doors. never to reopen, for the gov ernment has announced, through the Indian bureau, that it will criminal ly prosecute all dealers doing busi- ness in the territory embraced by the treaty of 1855.
 The beginning of the end was seen two years ago. when the gov ernment first ordered the saloons to close up. But stay was SC cured by an injunction secured by Bemidji saloonkeepers. But no fur ther resistance will be offered to the ban of Uncle Sam on John Barleycorn. The only exception to be made is for druggists to serve liquor on prescription, and that loop hole will be closely watched by gov ernment officers.

Came to America
 Before Columbus

Claimants to the glory of having discovered the American continent are so many that few people have the roster complete in memory. Parkman, saying that it was from France that the new world first learned to serve the ends of peace ful commercial industry" record 5 the yet more ambitious claim made by French writer
 In the year 14SS. four years be- fore the first voyage of Columbus, America, he (the French writer) maintains, was found by Frenchmen. Cousin. a navigator of Dieppe, being at sea off the African coast, was forced westward, 1t is said, by winds and currents to within sight of an unknown shore, where he presently described the mouth of great river. On board his ship was one Pinzon, whose conduct became so mutinous that, on his return to Dieppe, Cou- sin made complaint to the magis- tracy, who thereupon dismissed the offender from the maritime service of the town. Pinzon went to Spain, became known to Columbus, told him of the discovery and joined him on his voyage of 1492."
 In a note Parkman says that search to verify this tradition has been in vain, yet he thinks that the story may not be quite void of foundation. In 1900 Cabral was blown within sight of Brazil in a similar manner. Herrera gives several parallel in stances as having reached the ears of Columbus before his first voyage. Harrisse thinks there is reason to believe that the Portuguese reached the American continent as early as 1474 or even 10 years earlier"

 The return journey along one of the German main lines of communi- catiOn-through eastern France, across a corner of Belgium, and through LuXemburk-was full of in- terest, and confirmed the impression gathered at the center of things, the great headquarters, that this tWen- ties century warfare is in the last analysis a gigantic business proposi- ton which the board of directors (the great general stafD and the thirty-siX department heads are con ducting with the efficiency of a great American business corporation.

The first ship ment We pass is an infantry bat talion-first ten flat cars loaded with baggage, ammunition, provi- e,ia al lyi ba latter already with the fire lighted and soup cooking as the long train steams slowly along; for the trenches are only fifty miles away, and the Germans make point of sending their troops into battle with full stomachs.
 After the flat cars come thirty box cars, all decorated with green branches and scrawled over with chalked witticismS at the expense of the French and Russians. The men cheer as our train passes. A few kilometers further, backed on to a siding, is train of some twenty Hat cars, each loaded with a tour ing car.
