News Of Especial Interest to
Minnesota Readers.
Want PRESIDENT AT FAIR
Minnesota State Board Decides to Ex
tend an Invitation to Nations
Chief Executive.

A determined effort is to be made
to induce President Woodrow Wilson
to speak at the Minnesota state fair
this fall, as result of definite
plan worked out and approved by the
fair board. A special attempt will be
exerted to obtain the president for
Labor day, Sept. 6, the opening day
of the fair.
The fact that the average attend.
ance at the Labor day celebration at
the Minnesota state fair averages be-
tween 10000 and 100000 persons and
gives the president an opportunity to
meet more people at one time than
any place else in the country is to be
used as strong incentive in persuad.
ing the president to make the trip.
According to the plan of the board,
which is to be worked out in detail
by special committee consisting of
Charles Patterson of st. Paul Presi.
dent Charles P. Craig of Duluth and
Secretary John Simpson, leading
representative of each of the national
parties, and possible candidate for
the presidency, will be invited to
speak on a special day.
1t was decided to reduce the sched.
uled automobile racing program of
two days.. in which a 20O-mile race
was to have been the feature, to a
one-day program on Saturday. A
speed program with some special
horses for purses aggregating $500
was substituted for Wednesdays auto

Receipts since Jan. 1 were given
out as approximately 205,5OO cattle,
63,1OO calves, 1,16S,S00 hogs, 1S9,50O

DECISION FOR GOVERNMENT
Referee Rules on ownsrship Of Chip
pe~n indian Lands.

pOVsO tn0tan 10n0Os
George r. O'Reiliy, master in
chancery named by the federal dis.
trict court to try and determine suits
brought by the government involving
title to more than 100000 acres Of
land on Chippewa Indian reservations
in Minnesota, has decided the first
case in favor of the government.
Mr.. O'Reilly holds that, under the
provisions of the Clapp act, passed in
1906, and authorizing Indians of mixed
blood to transfer their lands, ONO
de-ay-quay, an Indian woman, had no
authority to transfer her land, that
all the conveyances of her land are
illegal and that title to the land still
rests with the government, with the
Indian woman holding trust patent
Mr.. O'Reilly holds that the govern.
ment has proven that the Indian WON.
an is fullblood and as such she had
no right to transfer her land.
The decision is of great Importance
to the Indians Of the White Earth
reservation, for it means that unless
it is reversed on appeal hundreds Of
land transactions made by fullblood
Indians will be invalidated. Many Of
these lands have been transferred and
retransferred and many white settlers
and white business men in the vicin.
ity of the reservation will be affect
ed by the decision.
The decision grows out of the fed
erai investigation of alleged land
frauds on the White Earth reservar
tion
1t is probable an appeal will be

POSTAL REVENUES INCREASE

Down to $4,000. 900.

Washington, July 6.-Postal reve

of the European war that the depart.
ment closed the fiscal year with a de.
icit of something like $4,000, 900, are
rapidly returning to normal, accord
ing to statement by Postmaster
General Burleson.
"But for economies initiated by the

deficit would have been much larger.
In this connection l am able to re-
port an unexpected balance of the
funds appropriated for the years ex-
penditures which it is estimated ex-

full amount which we were authoriz-

London, July German assaults
In force on the French lines are con-
tinuing and have been successful in
regaining ground previously lost on a
front two-thirds of mile long be-
tween <Fey-en-Haye and the Moselle.
The French official statement admits
this, while recording the breakdown
OF attacks along other parts of the
front.
In Southern Poland the Russian ar
mics driven over the Galician border
are fighting determinedly to check the
Teutonic thrust at Warsaw. The most
recent Austrian official statement ad-
mits that the Russians have been
strongly attacking" in several Sec
tors.
Petrograd tells of desperate en-
gagements between the Vistula and
the Bug rivers and claims to have
checked the Austro-G Germans at differ
ent points, but comedies retirement
in East Galicia from the Gnila Lipa
to the Zlota Lipa Vienna declares
that at what seems to have been the
chief point Of the Teutonic attack in
Poland, near Krasnik, the heights to
the north were taken.
A Turkish statement declares the
entente allies lost heavily in an at
tempt to land reinforcements on the
Gallipoli peninsula and that the ef-
fort was frustrated
The latest advices from Berlin con-
firm recent intimations that the. Ger:
man reply to the American note may
not be delivered for several days, dur
ing which time an agreement may be
effected between the naval extremists
and those favoring compromise as
to Germanys submarine policy, it is
hoped.
