Governor Preus Takes up
Land Claims,

"Governor j. A. O. Preus re.
turned recently from Washington,
where he Witnessed the inaugural
ceremonies and took up with de-
partment officials three important
questions. One was the final
settlement of land claims between
Minnesota aud the federal govern.
meAt..
:,'Governor Preus announced that
he is unwilling to settle on the
terms proposed by the land de.
partment. 1t is up to him to
recommend final settlement, if a
satisfactory agreement is reached,
for ratification by the legislature.
"The proposal made by the de.
partment deprives Minnesota of
about $4,000 acres to which it is
entitled" he said. II shall take
the matter upon again with the
department when it has been re-
organized, hoping for a more
favorable proposal. Opinion in
the department now is divided.
It offers to patent 25, 900 acres if
the state will release its claim to
some $4,000 acres IN the White
Earth and other; Indian reserva-
tions. The department insists on
this because thssstase received
some 465, 900 acres Of the Rec
Lake reservation lands BY mistake
some years ago, but that is a
closed incident and the lands
have been sold to settlers and
are on the tax rolls. MINI.
esota is entitled to the 49,
900 acres and would not yield
claim to them unless che state is
allowed to select other lands in
lieu Of them. Much Of the land

SEAL SALE TO
START SUNDAY.
IN LITTLE FAILS-WILL CAM
VASS BUSINESS HOUSES
MAKES PROCLAMATION

o. [: Berlie, chairman of the com
mittce on the sale of Red Gross Christ
mas seals in Little Falls, announces
that the sale of seals will commence
here next Sunday, Dec. 4. Sub-conl.
mittees have been appointed and they
will canvass the business houses of the
city. There will also be booths at
the postoffice, Buchanan hotel and 9th
or places, where the stamps may be
purchased by the general public.
Proceeds Of the sale of Christmas
seals go toward combating the dread
disease, tuberculosis, which takes a
greater toll of lives each year than
any other disease. Half Of the money
raised in Morrison county goes to the
state headquarters and half remains
with the county public health associa-
tion to be used for carrying on local
health work.
Mayor Bergheim of this city has is
sued the following proclamation re-
garding the seal sale:
PROCLAMATION
Truth, with her hand-maidcns Of
scientific knowledge, education and un-
selfish service of true citizenship,
has largely stamped out the arch-ene-
mics Of mankind-leprosy, smallpox,
yellow fever and typhoid fever.
The leper's cry Of "unclean' is heard
no more; smallpox and yellow fever,
as scourges, have passed. Typhoid
fever was the last to go. But twenty
five hundred Minnesotans were killed
by tuberculosis last year. Yet tuber-
culosis is prcventablc and curable. This
awful needless sacrifice of life must
stop. The "Great White Plague''
must be next to go.
Your purchase Of Red Cross Christ
mas seals will help to stamp out this
"plaguc'' and save lives
Mr.. o. I. Berlie, principal of the
Little Falls High School, has been ap-
pointed Director Of the Campaign for
the sale Of Christmas seals in Morri-
son County this year, and I urge every
man, woman and child in the commun-
ity, not only to buy some of the seals,
but to give such aid to the director as
may be in your power to furnish in
order that the allotment for Morrison
County may be raised. -.
