Washington, April 29-—After an informal hearing before the house committee on Indian affairs yester- day on Senator Clapp’s bill to change the boundary of the Minnesota na- tional forestery reserve in the vicinity of Cass Lake and providing for the| opening of several thousands of acres for settlement, Congressman Lind- berg, who introduced the bill in the house made this statement which he subsequently sent to the Commercial | club of Cass Lake: ““The judiciary committee decision that bills for the purchase of the Ap- palachian and White mountain for- est are unconstitutional, by the same rule would defeat the present bill to create a national forest reserve in Northern Minnesota- Today I drafted and introduced a new bill covering the same territory and giving to your people the same ad- vantages but with the same purpose to conserve the head waters of the Mississippi river to improve naviga- tion on the river and I hope to se- cure its passage.” It is claimed by some members of Minnesota delegation that the Cass Lake bill is now on all fours with the Appalachian and White mountain bills. The government already has a forest reserve in Minnesota and the proposition to pay the Indians for the property taken is far differ- ent from the proposition to acquire lands in the southern states from private parties. Senator Clapp, author of the bill which has already passed the senate was too busy this afternoon in giving attention to the naval bill upon which he spoke, to take up any other matter, but he will go over Mr. Lindberg’s new bill tomorrow with a view of clearing up the situation. The new bill eliminates those pro- visions which would appraise and NOTICE OF SPECIAL ELECTION of Independent School District of Bemidji.

Crowds continue to fill the Brink- man Family Theater this week, attesting the popularity of the excellent bill which is offered at this popular place of amusement. Kippy, the famous German com- edy cartoonist, and Shaw & Clifton, dancing and singing comedians, {have become very popular with the Brinkman patrons. Kippy has taken the crowd with his cartoon work and his comedy is very mirth provoking, while the song and dance team do a very good turn and are well received. The film service given at the Brinkman is the best that money can buy. The film changes tonight with an entire new set of pictures, and Manager Brinkman announces that he has the films for the great play, “Francesca De Remini” The other films are new and novel and very interesting. Attend the Brinkman it you desire an hour’s entertainment as good as you can see anywhere in the big cities. PAYS HIGH COMPLIMENT T0 LOGAL APPRAISERS J. H. Beagle, State Timber Cruiser, Praises Work of Nels Otterstad and Alex. Cameron. J. H. Beagle, state timber cruiser who has had charge of the appraisers who have appraised the state land in Beltrami county which will be sold at the sale to be held here in July, left today for St. Paul to sub- mit to the state auditor his report of the work of appraising done in this county. : The exact amount of land and the timber thereon appraised will not be given out until Mr. Beagle’s report is filed with the state auditor. The appraisers did excellent work, and Mr. Beagle, who has had much experience in. this work, says of the effeciency of his two associates, Nels Otterstad of Turtle River and Axel. Cameron of this city: “I wish to heartly commend the most excellent work done by Mr. Otterstad and Mr. Cameron. They are both first class men and in fact, they have done the best work of any men with whom I have been connect ed in any other part of the state. Both are willing, hard workers and understand their duties thoroughly. Beltrami county is indeed fortunate in having had the services of two men so admirably fitted for this especial work- B | for several hours. WHEREABOUTS OF THE WALKER BOYS IS KNOWN Disappeared from Near Puposky Mon- day.—Left Werner on Foot, Going Toward Fosston. ‘The mystery surrounding the Walker, aged 10 and 15 years, who left their home near Puposky last Monday afternoon without giving any intimation as to where they were going, has been cleared up in so far as it relates to their hav- ing been drowned or that they may have been killed, as it is believed that the boys are now alive and well and are on their way to Dakota by foot. The two boys are the sons of A. | P. Walker, who carries the mail on lthe Star route between Puposky and Fowlds and are said to have been seen late Mondoy afternoon leaving the railroad at Werner, a station on the M. R. L. & M. railway and start westward on the old Fosston | railroad. As the older of the boys has lived in Dakota and has said he liked it out there it is more than likely that the boys have started for the'‘Flicker- tail” state. The two boys were first missed late Monday night when Mr. Walker returned home from his mail-carrier trip and found that the boys were not at home and had not been there Mr. Walker was considerably alarmed as he presumed that they might possibly have been drowned or killed in some manner- Analarm was given and a search was made with the result that it was ascertained yesterday that they had | started for the west on foot, and they will probably be headed off and brought back to Puposky in a few days.

The company will operate hoists at the outlet of Lake Julia, near Puposky, and also at Campbell lake, and will pick up logs along the right-of-way of the railway. Mr. Johnson estimates that there are about 5,000,000 feet of logs to be hauled in this manner. The logs will be brought to Bemidji and hauled to Brainerd over the M. & L. railway.

GIVES HIS PERMISSION Speaker Cannon Will Allow Cau- cus to Discuss Wood Pulp. SUBJECT COMES UP IN HOUSE Brief Debate Allowed on Resolution Voting Appropriation for Expenses of Select Committee Now Investi- gating the Matter. ‘Washington, April 2 .—As a result of the representations of the Amer- ican Newspaper Publishers’ associa- tion Speaker Cannon has agreed that the subject of the removal of the duty on wood pulp and the price of print paper in the United States shall be discussed at the caucus of the Repub- Hcans to be held this week, provided a reasonable number of Republican members make a request to that ef- fect. WO00D PULP DISCUSSION. Subject Briefly Debated by Members of the House. ‘Washington, April 2 .—The house on convening was given the Demo- cratic view of the wood pulp contro- versy by Mr. Williams, the minority leader. The special investigating committee, in a resolution brought in for passage by Mr. Curry (N. H.), asked authority to spend the neces- sary money to carry on its work. De- bate of twenty minutes on a side was granted. Mr. Willlams was given the floor. He at once asserted that Dem- ocrats agreed that the special commit- tee had been created for the purpose of delay; that it was a “dilatory and filibustering process in order to pre- vent legislative action to produce re- lief.” Quick relief, Mr. Williams as- serted, couid be had by bringing in a bill abolishing the tariff on news print paper and wood pulp and asking that it go through under suspension of the rules. After saying that there was no Democratic objection in giving the committee the necessary money to prosecute the investigation Mr. Will- iams read the resolution agreed to at the annual meeting of the Associated Press on Ayril 21 last urging congres- sional action. Mr. Dalzell (Pa.) followed with two editorials approving the investigation by committee. Mr. Kusterman (Wis.), who said his district contained many wood pulp factories, pictured the lack of prosperity in that industry and urged that nothing be done pending a thorough investigation. Six years ago, he said, he had invested $4,000 in a wood pulp factory and it had made for him but 13% per cent per year. Before Mr. Mann closed the debate on the resolution Mr. Gaines (Tenn.) read a lecture to the majority for its inaction and Mr. Bartlett (Ga.) took occasion to assert his authorship in 1902 of the first appropriation towards antitrust nrosecutions._ Mr. Mann, who is chairman of the special investigating committee, took Mr. Williams to task for the per- sistent Democratic filibuster, which had made it necessary for his com- mittee to adjourn in order that busi- ness in the house might proceed. The resolution was then adopted upon a roll call, which Mr. Williams insisted should be taken. PROBING PAPER TRUST. House Select Committee Continues Its Investigation. ‘Washington, April 2 .—The select committee of the house appointed by Speaker Cannon to inquire into the complaint of the American Newspaper Publishers’ association regarding the price of print paper in the United States continued its hearings. At the outset Chairman Mann announced the receipt of a letter from President Bur- bank of the International Paper com- pany expressing his willingness to send to Washington “suitable officials with full information regarding affairs of this company, as you will be apt to wish.” With the consent of the committee Chairman Mann replied by telegraph saying the committee would be glad to have any officials or interested per- sons at the hearing and that the com- mittee was desirous of obtaining the fullest information possible. He add- ed that the committee would be pleased to have the International Pa- per compeny appear immediately after the testimony of the Publishers’ association shall have been completed. Chairman Mann then stated that it was the committee’s desire to have each of the publishers now here tes- tify as to his personal knowledge of the several matters complained of. John Norris, representing the Amer- jcan Newspaper Publishers’ associa- tion, submitted to the committee a list of 202 newspapers to whom the price of paper has been raised, accord- ing to a report made to him. The list showed that these increases ranged from $2 to $17 a ton in the last two years. Elopes on Eve of Wedding. Asheville, N.

LIKE A TIDAL WAVE, Sudden Rise in the River at Mari- nette, Wis, Marinette, Wis., April 2' .—A storm of almost hurricane velocity from the northeast swept over this part of the country, doing considerable damage to shipping and other property. In Squatters Town, the homne of the local fishermen, the water is four ur fivé foot -higk.,.

Buckingham, Que., April 2'—A large portion of the little French ham- let of Notre Dame de Salette lies bur- jed under a sliding mountain and at least thirty of its population are known to have perished, The River Lievre winds at the foot of the hamlet and a mountain towers behind it. Spring rains for days have been melting the snow and ice on the mountainside and streams have been coursing down into the river. 5 Just as the little hamlet began to stir itself for the day part of the mountain started to slide toward the river. It left a path of death and destruc- tion in its wake and those who were not killed when their homes were en- gulfed were left buried under the mass of rock and earth. The sliding mass rushed with a roar and spread fanlike over part of the place and dumped itself in the swollen stream at its foot, Those first on the scene found De:| Salette in a panic with the uninjured ones packing their belongings for flight. The first messengers to Bucking- ham ordered twenty-five coffins to be sent to De Salette and all the physi- cians of the town were hurried across gpountry with rescue parties. Latest reports from De Salette make the number of known dead thirty, of which eleven bodies have been recovered. - In all twenty houses Cows, pigs and | WANTS ONE CENT A WORD. HELP WANTED.
