A BARKER, JEWELER BARKER'S DRUG STORE Sues Townsite Company. Bagley Independent: A damage suit has been brought by Edna Geer and E. Gertie Geer against the White & Street Townsite company and B. F. Brown, as agent for the company, to recover $2,500 damages. The plaintiffs claim in their allega- tions that the company, through their agent, made false representa- tions in the sale of lots which are rot platted. The plaintiffs, in the action are represented by Thos. Keefe. Another action is about to be brought against the White & Street Townsite company by the county. At the instance of Thos. Keefe, a taxpayer, the county board is about to commence an* action to recover the penalty attached to the sale of lots which have not been platted, which is twenty-five dollars for each lot soid or offered for sale, with an additional penalty of not less than ten dollars per month of failure to put the plat on record, dating from the first sale. The action will be taken up at once by County Attorney Teitsworth. Ban Removed from Beaver and Otter. Beaver and otter have been taken from the list of prohibited fur-bear- ing animals in Minnesota, and may now be trapped or shot at any time. Whether or not, is not known, but it is nevertheless true. In amending the law of 1905, to lengthen the closed season for certain fur-bearing animals, the mention of otter and beaver was wholly omitted, the amended law applying only to musk- rat and mink. Trappers will prob- ably take advantage of this omission during the winter and ply their trade in the northern part of the state, where beaver and otter are reported unusually plentiful.— Crookston Journal. The above is certainly news to the writer hereof, and it is doubt- fulif anyone hereabouts has known of this removing of the ban on beaver and otter. But the legisla- ture did some peculiar things to the game laws. Death Caused By Heart Failure. John Mooney, who died at the International hotel, conducted by Dudley & Mahan on Minnesota avenue, last Friday night will be buried the last of the week. An autopsy performed by Dr. Shannon on the remains of Mooney, who was better known as “Whitey”, developed that he came to his death from heart failure, and the remains are now in the morgue of Undertaker J. P. Lahr. A subscription list has been passed among the friends of “Whitey” to defray the cost of the burial and the funeral will be held as soon as the relatives of the deceased can be communicated with. What You ‘Ludin’ At. Crookston Journal: Fac Mec- Lennon and Alex Thompson have returned from Dunlop Villa on the shores of Turtle lake in the wilds of Beltrami county. Their friends speak for them and tell about the good times they had and the game they saw, and the smoothness and glare of ten miles of ice, and the temptation to indulge in a “skate” which they of coarse resisted. Messrs. McLennon and Thompson are very noncommittal as regard to the trip and the Doctor is . sus- picious that they have d'scovered a valuable strike and are mum about it, = A Good Company. “The “Was She To Blame” com- pany opens tonight. From reports down the line our city may expect an elegant production. The company’s agent was com- pelled to return to his wife and family on account of sickness. The new agent made a mistake in prices. “Was She To Blame” is one of the best plays in America with prices at 50c, 75c and $1. The mistake was made by the agent when he adver- tised prices at 25c, 35c and 50c, which the company will live up to, but only in Bemidji. Literary Club Met Yesterday.

CARNEGIE A SPEAKER. REAT FLEET SALS Battleship Squadron Sfarts on Long Trip to Pacific. PRESIDENT. VIEWS PAGEANT Holds Reception on Board His Yacht for the Commanding Officers of the Fleet and Then Leads the Line of Warships Into Chesapeake Bay. Old Point Comfort, Va., Dec. 17.— 'The backbone of the American navy, sixteen first. class battleships, under command of Rear. Admiral Robley D. Evans, has set-sail for the Pacific ocean—a 14,000-mile cruise, which hag set all the world to talking. Parading in review before the president of the United States and saluting as they went the stately white vessels drew anchors from the rendezvous ground at Hampton Roads, steamed out of the famous old Virginia capes and were lost to view on the southeastern horizon, filmy, telltale columns of Meeting of National Federation. New York, Dec. 17.—The eighth an- nual meeting of the National Civic Federation was called to order at the Park Avenue hotel with more than 100 men and women, prominent in various walks of life, in attendance. The sub- ject Dbefore the day’smeeting was “Protecting People’s Savings.” James Speyer, the banker, the first speaker, favored an elastic currency based on the gold standard, Mr. Speyer then introduced Andrew Car- negie, who said in part: “No system of currency will enable us to escape seasons of depression, failures and losses. Prosperity is bound to stretch the lines beyond the breaking point and dull times are needed to restore them; and just in proportion as the percentage of the total of legitimate business grows smaller to that of speculation and gambling upon margins financial dis- asters will increase in number and severity. Let*us therefore dismiss all panaceas for panics such as we have Just experienced and which were due several years ago, but delayed by an unequaled succession of good crops and strong demand for our crops abroad. The point that demands at- tention is that our banking system is unlike that of other countries. I agree thoroughly with those, however, who believe that the present is no time to urge the complete change we need.” RECOMMENDS DISBARMENT Bar Association Acts in Case of Attor- ney Who Criticised Court. St. Paul, Dec. 17.—Disbarment is to be the punishment of Francis B. Hart, Minneapolis attorney, for his recent attack on the supreme court of Min- nesota, if the recommendation of the State Bar dssceiation is adopted. A joint meeting of the board of gov- ernors and' ethics committee was held at the offide of How, Butler & Mitchell in this clty, when the matter was dis- cussed. Subsequently the board of governors and the ethics committee held separate meetings, when each or- ganization adopted resolutions -that were later adopted by the joint body. The resolutions recite that the at- | tack by Mr, Hart on the state su- preme court was unwarranted and un- justifiable and that it should receive unqualified condemnation. The Bar association also took action providing that counsel be appointed to represent the association in the dis- barment proceedings. The resolution adopted by the ethics committee orders that charges be pre- ferred against Mr. Hart before the board of governors in order that his expulsion be brought about. FACE GREAT DIFFICULTIES French Officers Discuss Trip of Battle. ship Fleet. Paris, Dec. 17.—French naval offi- cers .are intensely interested in the cruise of the American battleship squadron. to the Pacific. As a profes- sional feat they regard it to be sur- rounded by almost insurmountable dii- ficulties. Captain Faber of the gen- eral staff said: “The financial resources of America make the problem of coaling the fleet comparatively easy, but there are three great difficulties—first, to kecp so many units together; second, to pro- vision and repair the ships in the event of an accident, and, third, the navigation of the Straits of Magellan by such an armada. If the cruise is successfully accomplished and if at its end, as the programme contemplates, the vessels are able to engage in tar- get practice, thus demonstrating their readiness to meet a hostile fleet, the whole naval world will take off its hat in admiration. This Wwill be a demonstration of the efficiency of the crews and the ships of the American nayvy which will make even the Eng: lish navy look to its laurels.” DIRECTOR ON THE STAND. Testifies Concerning Affairs of John R. Walsh’s Bank. Chicago, Dec. 17.—Maurice Rosen- feld, who was a director of the Chi- cago National bank, testified in the | trial of John R. Walsh for misapplica- tion of the funds of the bank that as & director he knew that the funds of the bank were invested in companies in which Mr. Walsh was interested. The investments, however, he said, were never discussed at the meetings of the directors, nor dig he ever vote for them. He did not know of any “memorandum notes” being held in the bank and he did not vote that such notes should be placed in the bank. He had no knowledge, he sald, that Mr. Walsh’s checks were carried as cash. Annual Civie Dies Loyal to Accomplices. Chicago, Dec. 17.—Shot and fatally injured while attempting to break into a West Side business place William ‘Wather, ty years old, refused with his .dying breath to reveal the names black coal smoke being the last vis- ible vestige of the departing fleet. At ten knots’ speed they went, turning their backs on the coast which so long has been their home and headed for the eastern end of the West Indies. After threading their way among the reefs of those islands the fleet will bring up- at Trinidad on Christmas eve—the first stage of its journey at an end. President Roosevelt, accompanied by a party of guests, came down from ‘Washington on the naval yacht May- flower. His arrival in the roadstead was signalized by a roar of salutes. When the resulting veil of powder had lifted from the ships the May- flower proceeded to anchor in the very center of the throbbing fleet. There followed a brief reception on board, the president having a fareweli message for the four rear admirals and the sixteen commanding officers who are taking the ships through Ma- gellan straits to San Francisco. At the conclusion of the meeting on the Mayflower’s quarterdeck President Roosevelt shook each officer cordially by the hand and as they went over the side he bade them official adieu. Just before Admiral Evans left the Mayflower to give orders for the fleet to get under way the president called him aside and the two were in earnest conversation for nearly five minutes, during which the admiral’s head was dipping aflirmative nods as though acknowledging instructions. Then for a journey of nearly ten miles the president, as commander-in- chief of the American army and navy, led the long line of battleships out into Chesapeake bay. They followed his flag to Thimble shoal light, just five miles inside the capes, where the Mayflower turned aside and dropped her anchors for the formal review. Notable Naval Pageant. As a naval pageant the review and departure of the fleet was the most notable in American history. There have been several presidential reviews of the Atlantic fleet during the past eighteen months, but in those in- stances the great ships were lying docile at the end of spreading anchor chains, while the reviewing yacht passed up and down their lines. In this instance the fleet was under way, had cast oft from the shore and was outward bound on a cruise, which, as the president himself expressed it, “no fleet of such size-has ever before un- dertaken.” The guns-which had voiced a welcome to the president upon his arrival in Hampton Roads uttered a goodbye tribute as they passed the Mayflower outward bound. The salute of welcome had been paid in unison, the farewell tribute was an individual offering from each one of the sixteen ships. - The fleet passed out in single col- umn, the big government built Con- necticut, flagship of Admiral Evans, leading the way. The vessels were 400 ‘yards apart and from the Connec- ticut to the Kentucky, which brought up the rear, the line reached a dis- tance of more than four miles. A large number of yachts and excursion boats accompanied the fleet down the bay and gathered at the reviewing ground. President Roosevelt’s party on the Mayflower included Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Ethel Roosevelt, Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Metcalf, Assistant Sec- retary of the Navy and Mrs. New- chief of the bureau of navigation, and Mrs. Brownson; Rear Admiral and Mrs. Cowles and Lieutenant Comman- der and Mrs. Simms. The naval dispatch boat Dolphin also came down from Washington with a party of congressmen on board to witness the review. Pneumonia Heads the List. Chicago, Dec. 17. — Pneumonia climbed to the head of the list of mortality causes during the last week;| according to figures submitted in the health bulletin, and not only reached the astonishing figure of 101 in seven days but,dis credited with being re- sponsible for more than one-sixth of the deaths in the entire city during that period. Wilson Accused of Inaccuracy. ‘Washington, Dec. 17.—A resolution charging the secretary of agriculture with inaccuracy in estimating this year’s cotton crop and calling on him to furnish to congress “the figures and the information upon which he based his estimate of the cotton crop of .the United States for 1907” was intro- duced in the house by Mr. Hefliin of Alabama, REVENUE LESS THAN COST ¥, J.

Mr. Hill said that his attention was attracted to the situation last summer and on investigation he found that the cost to his road of handling the- lumber traffic from the Northwest was far greater than the revenue gained from it. The difficulty was, in his judgment, that the cars had to be hauled by the railroads from Eastern points to Oregon and Washington practically empty. The haul of sub- about $280, while the revenue per car from the Northwest to the points of destination of the lumber products was about §200. This produced a loss of $8) per car. railway lines, that it was necessary to take some action that would remedy {it. It was decided to increase the not with any idea of prohibiting the but merely with the idea of protecting the interests of the railway lines. From his point of view it manifestly was impossible for the carriers to haul the lumber traffic from the Northwest to points of destination in the East at the former rates and to obtain a fair and equitable rate on lumber was the only reason the railroads had for _making an advance in their tariffs.
