Surplus $6,000.00 WAIVED EXAMINATION ON CHARGE OF TRASPASSING John R. Stewart and Nap. LaPointe Arraigned Today and Clarence Downe Yesterday. Before H. A. Simons, U. S. court commissioner, today, John R. Stew- art and L. Nap LaPointe waived ex- amination on the charge of tres- passing on government timber lands, and were bound over to await the action of the U. S. court at the spring term to be held in Fergus Falls in May. Both men were re- leased on their own recognizance. William Woods, who is charged with a like offense, is not in the country, but isreported to be in the west somewhere, presumably Nevadat The exact charge preferred against Stewart and Lapointe is that they cut 500 cedar trees on lot 5, Sec. 24- 152-31, Beltrami county, on govern- ment land, January 1, 1907. Stewart and Lapointe appeared before Commissioner Simons this forenoon, and were represented by E. E. McDonald as their counsel. The cases were instituted at the instigation of A. W. Layman of Duluth, special agent for the general land office at Duluth. Clarance A. Downe yesterday waived examination before Commis- sioner Simons on the charee of tresspass alleged to have been com- mitted on se{ of the nwl{ Sec. 23-T44-34, Hubbard county, govern- ment homestead land. It appears that Downe becamc entangled in a relinquishment made to a Cass Lake man, wherein he is alleged to have tresspassed when he cut 200 jack- pine trees, valued at $400. Downe furnished a bond in the sum of $500 and was released, he to appear at the term of U. S. court at Fergus Falls in May. Tribute to George Markham. The Duluth News-Tribune pays the high tribune to the worth and ability of George Markham, well known in this city: “The loss of the Miles hotel to Hibbing was rezarded at the time as little less than a calamity. An unusually complete, slightly and finely equipped structure for evena much larger city to boast, it was felt that it would be almost impos- sibility to induce capital to replace it with any building that would in any measure equal it. “But inthe face of “‘hard times” and of other most taxing difficulties, Mr. George A. Markham is prov- ing that nothing is impossible in this age which is a business proposi- tion. Mr. Markham was one of the owners of the old Miles and will be largely interested in the new ven- ture. Though he has but just be- come of a voting age, and looks as though he might be his own son, he is in a fajr way to carry to success an undertaking that would have appalled an older man who had less of the inspiration of youth. “When the structure has risen ifrom its ashes, finer in every way as is promised than its predecessor, Hibbing should canonize its pro- moter as ‘St. George” He will deserve it, as nothing is of more importance to a city than hotel facilities which anticipate the future while fully meeting the ambitions i and the demands of the present. “There is more promising city on the ranges than Hibbing. It has been more than usually wise in the management of its affairs, and all its sister cities, including Duluth, congratulate iy that it is to have what it deserves {in the rebuilt Miles.” no better nor | Legal Holiday, Today. For the first time in the history of Minnesota, today, Good Friday lis a legal boliday. On April 19, 1907, after Good Friday had passed, Gov. John A. Johnson approved the law passed by the legislature adding Good Friday to the list of Minne- | sota’s legal holidays. City and county offices should be closed on Good Friday, for the law | prohibits the transaction of public business on legal holidays “except in cases of necessity,” and serving of civil processes is absolutely pro- hibited. The Minnesota law in regard to legal holidays reads as follows: ‘““The iword ‘holiday’ shall include New | Year’s day, Jan. 1; Lincoln’s birth- | day, Feb. 12; Washington’s birth- lday, Feb. 22; Memorial day, May ‘30; Independence day, July 4; | Labor day, first Monday in Septem- ber; election day, the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of the even numbered years; Christ- mas day, Dec. 25. and the Friday next preceeding Easter Sunday and commonly known as Good Friday. No public business shall be trans- acted on those days, except in cases of necessity, nor shall any civil pro- cess be served thereon.” Don’t Like Canadian Northwest. The Akeley Herald of a recent jdate says concerning one man’s opinion of the much-advertised Canadian Northwest: “O. L. Johnson of Church Ferry, N. D., made this office a pleasant and profitable call Tues- {day. Mr. Johnson 1s a former | resident of Nevis, this county, but | for several years has made his home in North Dokata and of late has been in the employ of the Great Northern Railway and his route extended into the much ad- vertised Canadian North West, where, Mr. Johnson says ,the re- ports of crop failures and hard times are not a bit over-drawn; that there has been two successive crop failures and that the prospects of the coming season are any- thing but bright, as most of the settlers have very little means to do anything with, Itis evident that the Canadian North West is a good place to—stay away from.” Open Cass Lake Reserve. Senator Clapp and Gifford Pinchott chief forester of the government were in conference yesterday upon the bill which is being drafted to open up a part | of the Cass Lake forest reserve. The Minnesota delegation, the forestery bureau and those inter- ested in the opening to settlement of land about Cass Lake have reached an agreement whereby about 70000 acres are to be thrown open, and it is expected that the bill wiil beintroduced in the senate within a few days. The senate yesterday passed a bill creating a forest reservation at Cass Lake, Minn. Easter souvenir postals cards at he Pioneer office. Governor Johnson Pra S. W.

New Hatchery Near Brainerd. The state game and fish commis- sion has accepted the release of the Pine Tree Lumber company of its mineral right in the land which has been selected for the lecation for the new Deerwood fish hatchery, seventeen miles east of Brainerd. J. P. Saunders was appointed foreman of the hatchery and the board will now pur- chase Jthe land and proceed with the erection of such ,buildings as the appropriation available will permit. The legislature in 1907 appro- priated $6,000 for this hatchery, this seems to cover the purchase price of the land and the erection of the buildings. This will not enable the board to comlete the hatchery but will be sufficient to get it started and the extension of the institution will be subject to the provisions made by succeeding legislature.

ESCAPES WITH - FRE Man Whom President Desired Bo (iven Jail Sentence. VIOLATED PURE FOOD LAW Defendant in Case a Prominent Busi- ness Man and Manufacturer of Washington, D. C.—Court Fixes Punishment at $700 Fine. ‘Washington, April 1 .—As a result of the first conviction under the pure food and drugs law Robert N. Harper, president of the Washington chamber of commerce, formerly president, of the American National bank, a drug manufacturer and one of the best known business men of thig city, was sentenced by Judge Kimball in the police court to pay a fine of $500 on one count and $200 on another count of the indictment recently returned against him for manufacturing and selling an alleged mislabeled pharma- ceutical compound. President Roose- velt had insisted that the prosecuting officer demand a jail sentence. After hearing arguments by govern- ment and defendant’s attorneys Judge Kimball said that as this was the first offense against the pure food and drug act he would not impose a jail sentence. Owing to the seriousness of the offense Judge Kimball said he would impose the maximum money penalty. The court’s sentence named five months’ imprisonment in the District Jail as an alternative in default of pay- ment of the fine. Following the sen- tence a bill of exceptions was filed by Harper's attorneys and an appeal taken to the District court of appeals.

Manufacturing Jewelers Near the Lake WHALEY SUIT DISMISSED. Northern Pacific Land Cases Ended in Montana. Helena, Mont., April 1i.—In the federal court Judge Hunt signed a memorandum order dismissing the suit of C. P. Whaley against the Northern Pacific Railway company, instituted for the purpose of quieting title to a large tract of land in the Bitter Root valley. The case hinged upon the Stevens treaty with the In- dians, who ceded the land to congress and the railway company later claimed it under a land gran{. The case was tried originally in the land office, the railroad winning in each decision. Judge Hunt holds that the com- plainant cannot claim the advantage of certain acts passed by congress, they being limited in scope. The rail- road ccntended that the ccmplainant sought to secure valuable timber lands and the court holds that the showing of the complainant is so weak that he could not complain if relief had been denied and he has never tried in good faith. The court also orders disiiissal of numerous similar ts involving val- uable tracts of land in ore of the most fertile sections of the state. _ TO TURN DOWN PRESIDENT Senator Hale Says Congress Will Not Authorize Four Battleships. Washington, April 1.—In spite of the president’s urgent recommenda- tion contained in his special message to congress that four battleships be provided for in the naval appropria- tion bill that body is not likely to authorize more than two at this ses- sion. “The naval committee will make provision in the naval bill for only two battleships,” said Senator Hale, chairman of the committes on naval affairs. “That number is sufficient and there is a possibility that only one may be provided for before the bill is finally passed. There is a strong sentiment at both ends of the Capitol in favor of only one ship, al- though, as I said before, appropriation | will probably be made fér two, but no more.” John Sharp Williams said that more than two-thirds of the Democrats would vote against four battleships and the Republican leaders appear confident that at least half of the Re- publicans will do likewise.
