of the state of Minnesota are now
under pillow and 95 per cent OF our
lands are tillable. This will, in a
manner, disclose what vast area OF
lands Northern Minnesota has, both
state lands and privately owned
lands, that are awaiting cultivation.
The development of Northern Min
nesota is of commanding Importance
not only to the homesteaders and
settlers who are now having the same
experience as our early settlers in
GoOdhue, Houston and other southern
Minnesota counties. They desire
good roads, drainage and advanced
methods of clearing the lands. They
are entitled to the cooperation of the
entire state. Again the develop
ment of Northern Minnesota lands is
OF vast Importance to the cities which
will furnish the markets for the
farmers produce. Is
Again, its development is Of i'm
portance to the entire state in that
this section Of the state, when devel-
oped, will bear its proportion Of the
burden of the states expenses. -

INSPECT SAFES CONTENTS
Believed That Order of United States
District Court Will Be Amended
p May Be Left Here.
MALoY: TO OPEN STRONG BOX

It now seems probable that the
order of the United States district
court ruling that the safe taken from
the soft drink and cigar store of J.
E. Maloy last Thursday by Indian
agents shall be opened at Fergus
Falls on the second Tuesday of July
will be amended, permission being
given to open the strong box here.
:. 1T is the opinion of government
officials said Carl Hebron, attorney
for Mr.. Maloy, "that the order will
be amended, giving permission to
open the safe here and all evidence
found in connection with the charge
for which it was taken, that it con-
tanned intoxicating liquor in viola
ton of the Indian treaty of 1855,
will be turned over to the autholi-
ties. I do not expect that the safe
will be sold and feel certain that all
papers, money and jewelry contained
in it will be returned to Mr.. Maloy.
''Mr. Maloy will open the safe as
soon as directed to do so. He has
been ready to open the safe ever since
it was taken from his place but the
Indian officers would not permit such
action"
The safe is still held at the county
jail. The chains, which had been
placed around it to keep sacred the
privacy attached to it while in the
possession of the coroner following
the replevin proceedings when it was
taken from the Indian officers, were
removed when the safe was "re-ar-
rested" by Frank Tufts, deputy
United States marshal.

we need is little enthusiasm. We
SHOULD not gain the idea that all is
play in the naval militia. There is
plenty of work but it is interesting
and of much benefit"

depths of poverty and despair to the
heights of prosperity ard happiness,
in the midst of which they are con-
fronted by the tragic past of the young
wife, which she had believed to be b,i-
ried. For a time the vortex of shame
threatens to engulf both, but domi-
nant love finally lifts them above the
menate Of the past. The play is SPLEEN
didly enacted by the famous leading
lady Virginia Pearson, supported by
the popular photo-play star, Owen
Moore, and a consistently capable
cast.
The story proceeds as follows:
At about the same time two young
people come from their village homes
to try their fortunes in the great melt
ing pot of the city. One is Ruth Nor
gan, an orphan girl, who obtains en-
pIOyment with metropolitan florist.

The other is Allan Buchanan, young
physician, whose ambition longs for
larger fields Ruth meets a fascinat-
ing man-about-town who betrays and
deserts the young girl, leaving her the
victim of remorse and despair Allan
Buchanan makes a mistake in a pre-
scription which causes the death of a
child, and this tragedy combined with
the horror of his sisters pathetic
death in railroad accident drives
him to the rivers edge, in search of
merciful oblivion. On the very brink
of the depths, he meets Ruth, who has
come hither bent on the same tragic
purpose. The two waits of misfortune

each other from suicide, and begin
