WESTERN MESABA MUST
NOT SELL NEAR BEER

Grand Rapids, Mimi, Feb. 6.-In-
dian agents came here and gave the
same orders as were issued in Be-
midi against the sale of near beer
in the Indian lid country. Towns all
over the Western Mesaba, in the In
dian lid country, got the order and
it is presumed it made made at Hib-
bling, too.
The government agents contend
that the permitting of the sale of
near beer offers a loophole for the
sale of the regular amber fluid and
that the only way to stamp it out is
to stop even near beer sales.
