FILINGS ON SUPEBII]R RESERVE NOT AFFECTED Congressman Steenerson Writes Giv- ing Information of Interest toMany in This Vicinity. Many residents of Bemidji and this vicinity are among those who filed on lands which are embraced within the territory which was sup- posed to have been included in the new Superior Forest Reserve, and there has been considerable specula- tion as to just what action the gov- ernment would take relative to the filings. Congressman Steenerson has written the following letter to Anton R. Erickson of this city, relative to the matter: "Washington, Aprii 12, “Mr. Anton R. Erickson, Bemidii, Minnesota. “My Dear Sir:—Your letter of the 7th instant in regard to stone and timber entries on land in St. Louis county, which has been in- cluded in the recently-established ! CALUMET Baking Powder Received Highest Award . World’s Pure Food Exposition Chicago, 1907, Superior Forest Reserve, is received. “I am advised by the Bureau of Forestry that this forest reserve does not effect any land upon which entries have been made and proof not as yet made, or where proof have been made, but the entryman will hold his land the same as if a reserve had not been established, and he can make his proof the same as if there was no reserve, and he will continue to own his land in the reserve, after his proof is accepted and patent issued. The proclamation for the Superior National Forest Reserve was issued by President Roosevelt. “I trust this answers your inquiry, “Cordially yours, “—H. Steenerson.” BEMIDJI TOWNSHIP FOLKS PREPARING FOR SPRING Bemidji Owners of Homes South of Lake Bemidiji Will *‘Rusticate” ‘' This Summer. Bemidji Town. April 16. Mrs. A. L.

The demand for brick will tax the capac- ity of the yard to its limit until next fall. G. A. Walker is remodeling his summer residence on the lake in readiness for his family, later in the season.

ALSO SUBMITS NEW BILL Proposed Measure Makes a Slight In- drease in the Rates of Duty Now Provided, but Is Intended to Insure the Benefit of the Philippine Mar- ket for American Trade—Increased Revenue the Object Desired. Washington, April 16.—The presi- dent has sent to congress a special message, accompanying a bill for re- vision of the Philippine tariff. The message transmits recommendations by the secretary of war for a revisian of the Philippine tariff so as to per- mit as much customs revenue as pos- sible for the islands and at the same time to extend to the islands the prin- ciple of a protective tariff for its in- dustries. - Under the conditions which will arise from the enactment of the tariff bill pending in congress, which provides, under certain conditions, for free trade between the Philippines and the United States, the revenues of the islands will be considerably af- fected and numerous protests have been received here on this account. The proposed amendments to the bill are to interfere as little as possible with these free trade conditions and at the same time permit collections of ample revenues. Generally speaking the bill submit- ted by the president makes a slight fn- crease in the rates'of duty now pro- vided in the Philippine tariff, but its framers say its tendency is to insure as far as practicable the benefit of the Philippine market for American man- ufactures and products. The bill makes some additions to the free list. There will be an increase in internal revenue duties, by which it is hoped to make up the loss which the Philip- pine islands will sustain by the op- erations of the free trade provisions in the pending Payne tariff bill. AFFAIR NOT MADE PUBLIC MacMonnies, the Sculptor, Divorced in Paris November Last. Paris, April 16.—It was learned here that the French courts in November of last year grantéd a divorce between Frederick MacMonnies, the Amerlea.n les, Sculptor, and “his Wife, Who -Was a Miss Mary Fairchild of New Haven. The couple.were married in this city Sept. 20, 1888, © It is understood that the divorce was arranged amicably and that it was kept quiet in order to avold gos- sip. Not even the two children of the couple were aware that their parents have legally separated.” Mrs. Mac- Monnles was questioned oh the mat- ter and said: “There was no scandal and there has been no recrimination on either gide. The partnership simply ceased. Under the terms of the decree the children will spend half their time with me and half with their father.” TO PREVENT A MASSACRE Russian Troops Will Be Rushed to Astrabad, Persia. 8t. Petersburg, April 16.—The for- elgn office has asked the war office to send troops immediately to Astrabad, Persia, to protect the lives of the peo- ple and prevent a threatened mas- sacre. Three Russian gunboats have arrived in the harbor of Astrabad. Teheran, Persia, April 16.—The city of Astrabad, which recently was cap- tured by revolutionists, has been at- tacked by Turkoman tribesmen, who routed the revolutionists, many of whom were killed. The inhabitants of the town and the surrounding vil- lages, including women and children, have taken refuge in the Russian con- sulate at Astrabad. Panic prevails; as it is feared that the Turkoman tribes- men will organize a massacre. FROM ST. PAUL TO CHICAGO General Offices of Chicago Great West- ern to Be Removed. Chicago, April 16.—President Hor- ace G. Burt of the Great Western road has decided to move the general offices of the company from St. Paul to Chicago as soon as possible. The preventing factor at this time is a lack of means and the difficulty of securing the consent of the receiver and of the court to spend the money necessary to make the change. The headquarters of the road were kept in St. Paul because it was the home of former President A. B. Stickney. Mr. Burt believes that Chicago is the log- ical headquarters.
