PROSECUTE OIL TRUST| Roosevelt Says Legal Depart- ment Will Go After Standard 0il. SENDS CONGRESS GARFIELD'S REPORT. Declares Secret Rebates and Crushing of Competitors Common. Washington, D. C., May 4.— President Roosevelt today trans- mitted to congress the report of Commissioner Garfield giving the results of the latter’s investi- gation of freight rates in connec-! tion with the oil industry. The president declares the re- port shows that the Standard 0Oil company has been benefitted to the extent of three quarters of a million dollars annually through secret rebates, and has obtained | much larger profit at the expense of the public by _crushing out competitors. The statement is added that the department of justice will in- stitute prosecutions as a result of the investigations, In conclusion President Roose- velt recommends the passage of the free alcohol bill already ap proved by the house, and favors retaining the government’s title to oil and coal lands owned by Indian tribes, The message also declares that the sugar trust rarely, if ever, pays the lawful rate for transportation. Andrew Markusen of the firm of Roe & Markusen has pur- chased two lots on Bemidji ave- nue between 11th and 12th streets and expects to begin the erection of a residence soon. Our Ads Are Our Solicitors. We send them to your home to tell you about our goods, and how we can be helpful to you. For instance— Your kitchen clock stops | suddenly some night, without the least warn- ing. You can’t coax it to go. It’s on a strike. Now, it is plain that there are only two things to be done —lay the old clock aside for good and all, or let us fix it for you. Of course, in some cases a new clock is preferable—but the right vhing to do would be to let our repair department decide what is best to be done, We mean the best from your way of looking at it. More than likely a cleaning, a renewal of a worn part, and a little general adjusting would put new life into the old timepiece. Bring it to us. E. A.

Through the clever detective work of Chief of Police Bailey and Captain Helmer, all the prop- erty which was stolen from M. G. Slocum'’s store a week ago last night, has been recovered, and two young boys, Charles Harmon iand Lawrence Gillman, are under arrest charged with the crime. It is suspected that four or 1 |in the theft and the police expect 1to make more arrests in a short time. The robbery was a baffling one and the typewriter, the accordion, the three flutes and other arti- cles, which were taken seemed lost for good. Chief Bailey and Captain Helmer set to work, how- ever, and soon found a valuable clue. Itled them straight to the home of young Gillman and a search was made of the house, + The typewriter was found un- der the bed, the acordion was discovered in a trunk and in the chimney, cleverly concealed be- hind brick and paper, were the flutes.

William O’Neil, superintendent, of logging for the government on the Chippewa reservations, where timber is being cut under the Morris law, says that the government estimates of the pine that has been sold and is being cut will overrun 80 per cent, or nearly one-third greater than these estimates. The pine was sold under a con- tract with the government that the successful bidders shall re- move the timber in -~ four years. | Mr, O'Neil says that in view of the extent that the timber is overrunning the government estimates the government will undoubtedly extend the time for removing for another year, pro- viding the purchasers of the pine should request it. As the timber is sold on the bank scale the fact that it is overrunning the estimates will be of no advantage to the lumber- men beyond the fact that they will get that much more timber at fixed prices. The Indians, who own the timber, will get 30 per cent more for their timber than they would if the govern- ment estimates had been ade- quate as to the actual amount. There is about 250,000,000 feet of pine to be sold and the secre- tary of the interior if he sces fit, ~ |U. 8. ESTIMATES |ED ROGERS TO TWIRL SUNDAY Famous Football Player Will Appear in Bemidji With . Walker Team. Edward Rogers, the famous football player who held down end for the university of Minnesota team for several years, and who ranks with some of the best of them as a baseball player, will pitch a game against Bemidji on the local grounds next Sunday. Rogers will ap- pear witk the Walker team, which is scheduled for a game Sunday, and local fans are of the opinion that ‘‘there’ll be something doing’’ when the big Indian gets into the box. The Walker aggreeation is made up of a good bunch of players, some of the men being semi-profes- sionals. They shut out Akeley last Sunday, the score being 17 to nothing.
