SETTLERS SEE VISIONS
4 OF ROAD To BEMIDJI

M. Koll was out with Charles
Studley and Emil Lobeck last Thurs
day in the country north of the Mis-
sissippi river and west of Long lake
looking over the various routes for a
road which the settlers in that To-
cality are very much interested in.
Mr.. Kohl states that the route
which has been selected will un-
doubtedly be the main travelled
route for travel between Cass Lake
and Bemidji as soon as built. He has
seen the president and some of the
members of the Bemidji Commercial
club and is assured of the active CO.
operation of the Bemidji club in the
building of this road.
Mr.. Kohl is doing the preliminary
work on the petition now and will
have it ready as soon as he possibly
can. Inasmuch as it will run in the
two counties of Cass and Beltrami
it will be a judicial road and because
it runs in only two counties will OBJ
viate the necessity for getting aid
from three counties to keep the Cass
Lake-Bemidji route in good condition
for travel at all times of the year.

have a center that looks about seven
feet tall and resembles somewhat a
human lath, and it's dollar against
gingersnap that if this bird ever
gets the ball and is anywhere near
the basket there's going to be another
score added for the Border Cityites.
However, Coach Juvrud of the To-

way. A large number of tickets have
been sold and purchasers are looking

HARRIS WILL AGAIN
ATTACK LID TREATY.;
new POINT RAISED

| Duluth, Jan. 13-AnOther attempt
to have the Indian treaty of 1855
declared no longer binding as regards
the liquor traffic will be made by
James o. Harris, hotel keeper. at Kel-
|1iher, Minn,,. who was convicted by
Ea Federal jury Thursday afternoon
of introducing liquor into Indian ter
ritory- Harris is former register of
deeds of Beltrami county and prom
inent lodge man. At a former trial
a jury disagreed. '''''''. ''..
At the trial just ended, Harris was
represented by Former Judge M. A.
Spooner of Bemidji, and Attorney
Spooner argued to have the case dis
missed, declaring that the Indian
treaty was no longer binding. The
attorneys contention was that the
validity of the liquor clause of the
treaty was made illegal by previous
act of congress passed in 1854, a
year before the treaty was made, and
which had to do with the purchase
of land held by the Indians. The act
of 1854, Mr.. Spooner contended
paved the way for the treaty.
Mr.. Spooner also went into the
government act of 1884, which sets
forth the provision regulating the
introduction of liquor into Indian
territory.
Judge Page Morris, who presided
at the trial, overruled Attorney
Spooner's motion for dismissal with.
out taking time to have the prose-
cutting attorney argue the other side
of the question.
This point will probably be taken
into consideration If Harris appeal
for a new trial is granted. Harris II
