WILL FINISH TOMORROW Surveying Crews Between Detroit and Bemidji Will Come Together. ONLY THREE MILES SEPARATE THE TWO PARTIES. Engineer Abbott Left This After- noon For Minneapolis to Con- sult Company. The two crews of surveyors Tunning a line between Bemidji and Detroit will finish their labors tomorrow, when the line will be connected, Only three miles separated the two crews this morning, and itis certain | that this distance will be easily covered today so that the line will be complete tomorrow. Engineer Abbott, who isin charge of the survey, arrived in Bemidji this morning ard left on the afternoon east bound train for Minneapolis, where he will probably consult the officials of | the company for which he is working regarding the line, Mr. Abbott refused to give out | the identity of the company be- hind the movement, and gave several reasons why he did not wish at the present time to re- veal the name of the railway which contemplates the building! of the proposed line. “One rea- son,” said Mr. Abbott, “is that it may be necessary torun sev- eral lines besides the one which' I bave now nearly completed be-| forea survey satisfactory to the; company can be obtained, and company does not wish to have the public know its identy until! it is ready to begin active build- ing operations. Another reason, which is alone sufficient to justify | the railway company in not re- vealing its name is that were the, residents of this section to know what company was behind the; movement thousands of letters telegrams and petitions would: be pouring into the office and it would take a score of officials to wait upon the delegations that would flock to the office of the " company. i J. M. W(,St of Cambridge, Ohio Ithe case to go by default, PERMANENT lNJ UNGTION Against New Village Hall and Jail at Cass Lake. M. A. Spooner,judge of the dis- trict court for the Fifteenth Judi- cial district, has granted a per- | manent injunction against the village council of Cass Lake for- | bidding that body to erect a new village hall and jail, such action such action on their part having been hastened by the action - of the state board of pardons,which * |condemned the Cass Lake jail, which was used as a lock-up for prisoners, claiming the jail was unfit and unsafe. After the coun- cil had decided to erect anew building, a trade was made with| the Cass Lake company whereby the lots belonging to the village were exchanged for other pro- perty in another part of the vii- lage- Excavating was commen- |ced for the new building, when J. F. B. Neils instituted injunc- tion proceedings. Mr. Neils, as the local representative of the J. Neils Lumber company, is one lof the Lieaviest taypayers there, and he claimed that financial con- dition of the village was such that it was impracticable at this time toerect anew hall. Mr. Neils applied to Judge Spooner for a permanent injunction against the village officials. At first the council decided to fight the proceedings,but later allowed with the result that the permanent in- junction has been granted, and (Cass Lake will not havea new !village hall and jail.

IT'S CRAFTY AND GRAFTY Story of Saloon ,_Glo'gj'n'g in “Indian Country’” a Clever Scheme —— FOR TOUCHING THE POCKET BOOKS OF LIQUOR DEALERS, Meaning of the Words “Indian Country’’ Played Upon to Alarm Liquor Dealers. Indian Commissioner Leupp In case of lands outside an_ existing reservation, ceded. lands or _inherited lands where title has passed to white men, the gdovern- ment eould not pi event the sale of liquor upon them. The special despatch to the Duluth News Tribune published last evening by the Pioneer, de- claring that an order has been issued by the department of the interior for the confiscation of all intoxicating liquors found in the “Indian country,” has created no end of comment and excited discussion. This is the second despatch of the kind which has been received, the first appearing Monday, September 4. An investigation of the matter seems to show that there is little foundation, if any, for the inference drawn by the despatches that all saloons would be closed~ and all liquors con- fiscated in Cass Lake, Bemidji, Walker, Crookston and interven- ing territory. The only fact stated in the despatches, which are both curiously special dispatches to the Duluth papers,is that an order has been issued for the confiscation of all liquor found in the ““Indian Country,’’this order being based upon an act of con- gress passed in 1864 prohibiting the introduction of liquor ‘into the Indian country.” The inference drawn is that the “Indian country” embraces Cass Lake, Bemidj?, Crookston and the other towns named. It is claimed, with apparently good show of reason, that the “Indian country” isa term which applies only to lands originally alletted to the Indians and by them sold to white men. {Taese lands are now commonly known as ‘‘deceased Indian lands”or “inherited Indian lands’’ and it was upon land of this kind that Richard Funk attempted to start a saloon about a mile west of Ball Club. He was arrested, tried and judgment returned against him and the order above mentioned follows. The supreme court of the United States, however has de- cided that Cass Lake is not situated upon “Indian lands’’ but upon ‘ceded lands.” Bemidji and other towns in this section are also situated upon ceded lands, and the decision of the court in the Funk case and the alarming order above referred to, have no application whatever to these towns. It is further asserted that the two despatches which have ap- peared in the Duluth papers, telling of the issuance of the order cf contiscation and in- ferring that it applies to prac- tically all of northern Minnesota, is simply a clever scheme on the part of certain individuals to graft-the liquor dealers of this section. Itis claimed that the order which in reality applies only to deceased Indian lands has cleverly been made toappear ‘Clark, who is expected back from Minneapolis tomorrew.

Those who support this theory voint out the following significant language of the original Duluth despatch: It is understood that the Unit- ed States marshal will begin to the confiscation of all intoxicating liguor at Cass Lake and will im- mediately follow the same course in all other towns similarly sit- nated. The present plans of the gov- ernment officers are carried out in less than a month many towns in northern Minnesota will godry for the first time in existence and nothing short of an actof con- gress will raise the lid. all the other facts in the case aboye stated, gives ample proof that the entire matter is simply a clever grafting scheme.
