HENRY FUNKLEY WON FIRST HONORS AS A VOTE GETTER Complete List of State and County Candidates and Vote Each Received. The county canvassing board finished its labors yesterday afternoon and adjourned sine die. All the returns were in and were canvassed with the excep- tion of those from Walahalla, and as these made no difference in the result, the board decided not to wait for them. As the vote stands now for the county, Bailey has a majority over Hazen of 95 votes, and had the Walahalla returns been in it would have been oneless. John- son has a majority over Cole of 256, and had the wmissing pre- cinct been counted it would have been five more. The expected fight over the A. L. Hanson 1,860 REPRESENTATIVE 61ST DISTRICT J. J.

Forty years ago next April President Johnson, by executive proclamation, set-aside the White Earth reservation as a home for the Mississippi bands of Chip- pewa -Indians, scions and de- scendants of the once royal Al- gonquins of America. The reser- vation as originally set aside comprised thirty-six townships of timber and prairie land. In 1889 the Indians ceded to the government among other lands, four of the townships along the northeastern boundary, so that only 32 townships. The history of the Chippewas reads like a tale of the Arabian Nights, a history replete with struggles and triumphs and forming a brilliant chapter of gradual ascendancy from a primi- tive stage toa goal of a higher civilization. Schools and churches Chas. J. Schroeder T00 MUCH SNOW GAUSES DISTRESS TO THE HUNTERS shrievalty did not develop into very large proportions. It was expected that W. E. Rowe, who had core all the way from Crookston to represent Mr. Hazen before the board, would argue for the striking out of the returns from several precincts, but after calling for the returns from Baudette, Spooner, Red Lake agency and Zipple, and reading them over, he evidently concluded that he had no case, |, and made no objection to their being counted. The official count contains a slight surprise on the lieutenant governorship. The republican candidate, Eberhart, received 990, while Judge Pendergast drew but thirty-five more, 1025. All the other republican candi- dates on the state ticket were elected by big majorities, and the constitutional amendments carried easily. Of the county officers, Henry Funkley, the next county attor- ney, is baoner man with 2,006 votes, while W, B. Stewart, the new county superintendent of schools, comes second with 1973. County Auditor Jobn Wilmann also made a whirlwind run, finish- ing with 1954. The total vote cast this election was 2,445, as against 2,717 two years ago. A complets list of the candi- dates and the votes cast for each in Beltrami county is given be- low: GOVERNOR Cole 968 Johnson 1,224 Dorset 35 Loftus 27 LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR Hard Traveling In Woods Without Snowshoes, is Comment of Returning Nimreds. The very deep snow of the first of the week was a source of extreme annoyance to the hunt- ers who had gone any distance in the woods, and ucdoubtedly saved the lives of hundreds of deer, as it undoubtedly drove many hunt- ing parties out of the ' woods, and several who had come from a dis- tance the latter part of last week did not go into the woods atall. Most of the hunters who had gone to the extreme north end of the railway lines make the com- plaint that a man without snow- shoes has but little chaace of getting game, at any distance in the woods, and the trees are so loaded with snow that it ie im- possible to see more than a few feet when in the forest. All the trees were loaded down to the breaking point, and many of the country roads are for the time being impassable, many saplings, weighted with the snow, have been bent over the roads and cross-roads in all directions, forming a network which prevents the passage of a team or single horse until the ax has been freely used. However, many deer have been killed, and many more will be taken, the most of them being shot by hunters who lie on the trails and shoot as the deer pass| in the open. St. Paul Men Have Good Luck. D. F. Polk, finance clerk in the St. Paul city postoffice; William Smith and Win Powers, also of St. Paul, returned this morning from a hunting expedition along the south shore of Red lake from the Red Lake agency to Shotley and Kelliher, Mr. Polk spent this forenoon in the city and returned to St Paul by way of Duluth, while Smith and Powers went direct from Kelliher through to St. Paul. They secured the full quota of game allowed by law, two deer each, the total weight of the six being 1,100 pounds. The party went to Red Lake agency and from there were taken to Shotley by the govern- ment boat. They went into the woods on the Tamarack river, from Shotley, and huuted on the river and south of the river. to Eberhart 990 Pendergast 1,025 Lokensgaard 129 SECRETARY OF STATE Schmahl 1,305 Magnusson 568 Hendricks 155 STATE AUDITOR Iverson 1,588 Aarnes 454 STATE TREASURER Dinehart 1,419 Evans 469 Kolu 158 ATTORNEY GENERAL Young 1,576 Dwan 450 CHIEF JUSTICE C.

A section of country whose resources and prolificacy of soil are unequaled in any portion of the state. Numerous . lakes, rivers and springs furnish an exhaustless supply of pure healthful water; copse and groves, oasis-like, dot its fertile prairies and give as- surance of the warmth and com- fort derived from wood and fuel. And its vast forests possess a wealth of soft and bhardwood timber that will elevate the rat- ing of their heritage far beyond the gaunt shadows of penury and want and assures to its indus- trious husbandmen a splendid and progressive future. Careful estimates, derived from different sources, place the wealth of the Chippewas as follows: 737,280 acres of land valued at$8 per acre.$5 898 240 700,000,000 feetof pine timber, valued at $10 300,000,000 feet of oak and other timber, 10 per 1,000........ 3 000 000 Improvement and stock valued at..... 500 000 Total....... ..$16 398 240 Dividing the figures above given among a population of 4,255 souls, giyes a per capita to every man, woman and child of about $3,480, Beside this handsome individual heritage there is de- posited in the United States treasury a'large sum of money, aceruing from the sales of land and timber and which, from a recent estimate, will in all prob abilities swell this princely fund to between $15,000,000 and $20,.
