T
ATTORNEY SAYS LIFE OF
+ TREATY ONLY go YEARS
Mayor Power Confident Saloons Will
Reopen; Will Affect Bemidji
If True.

Hlbbing, Minn., Feb. 2.-That the
life Of the Indian treaty of 1855,
which caused the saloons of Hibbing,
Chisholm and other Western Mesaba
Range points and Bemidji and sur
rounding country to close, expires
Feb. IA, is a statement of Hibbing
liquor dealers who are confident that
they will be able to reopen their sa-
looms next month. They claim the
treatys life is for so years.
Money .Wagered.
Money is being wagered at Hib-
bing, Dulth and other points that
the saloons that have been closed
will be allowed to reopen in Febru-
ary. A number of the former lead
ing saloonkeepers of the Western
Mesaba range are keeping their
stocks of liquor intact and seem to
be confident they will be allowed to
reopen their places of business.
Mayor is Confident.
Mayor Victor L. Power, of Hib-
bing, of counsel for the liquor deal
ers, is confident that the former deal
ers will again be dispensing drinks.
Attorney P. G. Schmidt of the Fit
ger Brewing company, recently made
trip to Washington and it is be-
lieved he unearthed some valuable
information for the liquor cause.
Interest Aroused.
Congressman have been interview
ed by attorneys representing the
Western Mesaba Range liquor deal
ers One argument that has been
used by the attorneys is that the sa-
looms have been allowed to do busi-
ness for 20 years, despite the treaty.
The latest bit of information that
the saloons may reopen has aroused
much interest. If the former sa-
looms do business again a blow will
have been struck at county option in
this section of the state.
If the attorneys for the liquor in
terests can prove that the life of the
treaty expires this month, saloons in
Bemidji will probably be reopened.
