The representative has turned all

over to R. H. Schumacher, president
of the Commercial club, and arrange
ments for the entertainment of the
party will be made. An attempt
may be made to keep the party in

ing Senator Leonard H. Nord of In
ternational Falls and Senator P. H.
McGarry of Walker.
A special train will leave St. Paul,

IS VILLAGE WET OR 'DRY?'
Judge Stanton in Decision Filed To-
day Says Saloons in Littlefork
Were Closed by Township Vote.
CASE TO SUPREME COURT

Is the village of Littlefork in Koo.
chiching county "wet" or "dry?'
The attorney generals department
in an opinion given a few weeks ago
asserts that it is "wet." Judge Stan
ton by decision filed today holds
that it is "dry.' Now the perplexing
question will go to the supreme court
for final determination.
The situation is this: The village
of Littlefork is situated within the
township of Jameson and is not a
separate election precinct, except for
village purposes. It is still a part
of the township and it's voters vote
in all township elections. At the an.
nual village and township elections
on March 9 both the village and
township voted on the. question OF
local option. The village voted
"wet," and the township voted
"dry." Hence the controversy.
On April 16 the village council
granted liquor license to l.. J. La
londe. On May third LaLonde was
arrested for selling liquor without
legal authority. He applied to the
court for a writ of habeas corpus on
the ground that he is illegally re-
strained of his liberty. The writ
was granted and the matter came be-
fore Judge Stanton yesterday for de-
termination, Judge M. A. Spooner ap-
pearing for LaLonde and Franz
Jevne, Koochiching county attorney,
:-riccs- .ng for the state.
It is probable that the case will
go to the supreme court on appeal
without delay.

1t appears that tax warrant to

of Andrew Johnson, sheriff of Bel

on the twenty-sixth day of last month
that official levied upon the large
stock of lumber at the Spooner mill
of the company for the purpose Of
selling it to enforce the collection.
Would Restrain Sale.

that the tax is Illegal the warrant
void, and other alleged reasons.

Wednesday, the motion to enjo;n
the sale was argued before Judge G.
w. Stanton in his chambers at the
court house. Harris Richardson,

FARMER JOINS BOOSTERS
Third District Citizen Repudiates
Statement of Commissioner Hayes
and Sends Dollar for Association.
PROGRESSIVE MOVES KNOCKED

Repudiating the claims of County
Commissioner Hayes that the citizens
of the third district are opposed to
the appropriatlng- of $3.50 for the
support and maintenance of the
Northern Minnesota Development as
sociation, and sending one dollar
money order to add to the fund De-
ing subscribed for the booster Or
ganization, Gilbert A. Benson, a
hustling farmer of Malcolm, writes
the Pioneer as follows, enclosing in
his letter a coupon endorsing the
appropriations: s~
"Am sending in my ballot and
also a money order to match our
booster Mr.. Hayes dollar for the
Northern Minnesota Development as
sociation.
II think the Pioneer is wrong in
thinking that the constituents of Mr.
Hayes are not boosters, as he would
have you believe, although a bunch
of them have banded together, call
ing themselves socialists, ready to
knock every progressive move.
"Mr. Hayes knows very we'll which
side his bread is buttered on, but it
seems to me he is stretching 1t a
little when he says ts-st 80 per cent
of the third district is against helps
ing the association. saw quite a
little of Mr.. Hayes while he was up
here, but never heard him or any,
one else discuss the subject of help
ing the association. think that as
long as Mr.. Hayes believes in help
ing the association out of his own
pocket that he would have won a
lot of friends by voting as his own
mind dictated when the board acted
upon the appropriation.
"Another thing that will hinder
the Pioneer vote will be that there
will not be enough ballots to reach
the socialists, as they read nothing
but the Appeal to Reason so that
most of them have really lost their
reasoning powers. -
II know that the development as
sociation has been the cause of a
great many settlers moving in here,
thereby making it possible for us to
maintain better schools and other ad-
vantages."

TO SHIP GRAIN VIA MISSISSIPPI

St. Paul, Mimi, May 6.-Further
plans for the utilization of the Mis-

ing the expectation of Northwest
grain to Norway, were formulated
here today by S. H. Greeley of the
Equity Cooperative Exchange. Re-
calling the big demand for grain in
Norway, he says it can be shipped
from St. Paul to New Orleans by
boat and then reloaded on Norwegian
boats, with bigger margin to farm
ers than if sent through the COM

(United Press)

London, May 6.-The British cab
met has discussed various proposed
notifications of the Lloyd George lii
quor bill. 1t is admitted that Ire
lands opposition to the prohibition
measure killed it, but argued that
as long as Ireland was not partaking
in the manufacture of war munitions
it could not therefore be affected. It
is believed that bill will be drafted
which will give the. government
power to close establishments which
are considered as dangerous to in
dustry.

Pekin, May ct is believed here
that Japan will strike without warn
ing as it did when starting the Russo
japanese war. However, the capitol
is quiet, with no disorders or fear
of a serious outbreak should Japan
invade China.
The government has suggested
that missionaries not move out of the
country until the situation develops.
The japanese legation declines to
state whether negotiations have been
reopened or whether the japanese ul-
timatum has been delivered.
President Kai and his cabinet held
a long conference and it is under
stood that a majority favored con-
cession to Japanese demands. The
minority argued that a concession
will only increase the nations trou-
bles.
If. Japan takes control of China
by force it is believed that the ma:
tion is safe but if she comedies tc
demands a revolution is feared. The
best troops of the nation are centered
here but it is conceded that they will
not be able to resist a long siege or
account of shortage of ammunition
and all war supplies.
