CHISHOLM and
HIBBING FIGHT
INDIAN LID
(By Associated Press.)

Duluth, Mimi, Jan. ia case
involving the question as to
whether Hibbins and Chisholm,
Minnesota, are within the territory
prescribed by the Indian treaty Of
1855 will probably have a new
trial during the January term of
of the United States district court
now in session here. Attorney Jo-
seph Austin of Hibbing is here to
take up the question with U. s.
Attorney Alfred Jacques. No dis
posaI of the case has yet been
made.
The question came up last July
when Thomas Nuwby and William
Martin came up for trial, both be-
ing charged with introducing
liquor into Indian territory. This
brought on the assertion by their
attorney, Mr.. Austin, that CHS
holm and Hibbing were not in the
territory prescribed by the treaty.
The case went into court but the
iury DISAGREED.

creased it's population $4,000 by the
stork route during the year 1916 ac-
cording to figures which have just

health. The boys exceeded the girls
by nearly 1000, Notwithstanding the
fact that Montana entered the rank
of suffrage states last year. May was
the banner birth month, with 1,O7S
new babies reported.
Montana stands out as the one state
in the union where marriage license
can be secured free. Child welfare
workers are now asking a law which
will provide a marriage license fee
of $500, the proceeds to be used for
baby welfare work throughout the
state. While baby welfare work has
been on the increase there is still too
great percentage Of infant deaths,
say the workers. The past year eight
and one half per cent Of the children
born died before their first year.

BUCKING HARD
 ROCK FORMATION
 ON ARM SECTION

Because of the difficulty of drilling and springing rock, the grade work in the vicinity of Bird point is progress ing slowly. Considering the shortage of powder, station contractors in gen eral are getting along we'll. Several small coyote shots were fired during the week ending April 21 with good results.
 A commission force will be placed in the hard rock cut at Sheep creek and the drilling will be done by pow CT. The formation is so hard that contractors would not be able to take out the material by hand within a year. A boiler and hoist have been hauled to the cut and the compressor for this work will be at Sheep Creek and installed within a week. Lack of snow and soft trail made the moving of the compressor difficult. Twelve horses were required for the hauling.
 A small force was at work during the week getting the steam shovel, track, cars and dinkeys at Big Rab- bit ready for the season. A small extra gang was placed on the Turn again arm line putting in culverts, opening ditches and fixing bad spots in the track.
 A small force of commission em- ployes worked on extra width clearing just south of Rainbow. The contrac- tors from Bird Creek south are mak- ing satisfactory progress.

LABOR SHORTAGE EXPECTED WHEN
 WORK STARTS

There is a scarcity of labor for pro- jected work on the Seward division from here to Mile so on Turnagain arm.

tribution of such produce as is plen-
tiful, and Captain Crusberg pledges
himself to do all within his power
