| i i { é; i GOVERNMENT MAY SELL - GUT FOOT SIOUX TIMBER Commissioner General Land Office Visits: Reservation and Inspects Timber.—May Order Sale. That the authorities of the interior department and the U. S, general land office at Washington are con- templating another sale of timber on the Chippewa reservation adjoin- ing the Winnibigoshish Indian lands is fairly well established by recent events at the national capital, and the visit of a high official of the geuneral land office to the Cass Lake U. S. land office for the purpose of getting information necessary fora contemplated sale indicates a sincere intention to dispose of a consider- able portion of timber that is at present deteriorating in quality and value. Fred Dennett, comsmisioner of the general land office at Washing- ton, passed through Bemidji yester- day, going to'Fargo from a visit to the Cass Lake land office. Mr. Dennett had just completed a visit to portions of the Cut Foot Sioux reservation, north of Bena and Lake Winnibigoshish, where he had made a thorough examination of the con- dition of the timber, in company with experienced cruisers, and noted the timber conditions which prevail on that reservation. While Mr. Dennett would say but little concerning his visit to the Cass Lake land office and the Cut Foot Sioux reserve, it is believed, from what the commissioner did say, here, that he will recommend a sale of the timber, which would be made by competitive bids, as heretofore on *all sales under the Morris Chippewa law, the timber to be paid for according to bank scale. - The system of logging which ha: been carried on on the Chippewa reservations under the provisions of the Morris law, and directly per- formed under the watchful-eye of William O’Neill of Cass Lake, super- intendent of logging, has been highly successful and entirely satisfactory to both the government - and, the Indians. > To Quebec and Return $30.00 Via the South Shoré ' in''connec: tion with_the Annual” Pilgrimage to Ste.

D., came to Bemidiji yesterday and registered as guests at the Hotel Markham. ||| Assistant Attorney General RUNORED THAT ANOTHER JURY WILL INVESTIGATE Smith :Asseris He Knows Nothing of Any ‘Such ‘Arrangement. The Duluth' Evening Herald of last evening contained the following very interesting’ telegram- from ' St. Paul concerning the mix-up in Bel- trami county’s affairs: ' *‘St., Paul, Minn., July 7.—(Special to The Herald.) — The Beltrami county scandal promises new and startling developments - this week. Under the direction of Attorney General George T. Simpson a new grand jury is to be impaneled at Be- midji, which will investigate the charges thai have been made against three county commissioners, one former commissioner and County Auditor Wilmann, “Indictments already returned against the officials will not hold according to the opinion of the attorney general,” The indictments are mostly on technicalities for which it is believed . convictions could not be secured, even if the officials were found guilty. “Mr. Simpson has been investigat- ing the muddle and will be present at the impanelling of the new jury.” Hon. Lynden A. Smith, assistant attorney general, who has been in Bemidji since yesterday morning, was shown the above dispatch and asked if he had any information rela- tive to the assertions made in the telegram, talked with Attorney General George T. Simpson this forenoon, over the telephone, and that the gentlemen made no mention of any new_grand jury for Beltrami county or any other material matter contained in the Herald telegram, The attorney general told Mr. Smith that there 'was nothing really new and for him(Mr. Smith) to take his vacation until the 20th inst., which would indicate that the St. Paul “special” was of doubtful authenticity. for sale. attention.

KOLL IS BOOSTING NORTH-COUNTRY LANDS Ex-Receiver of the Cass Lake Land Office Is True Friend of This Section. Amorg the progressive land deal- ers who are beginning to appreciate the fact that Beltrami county lands are unequaled for agricultural pur- pose, and as desirable holdings for those who are seeking farm homes are unequaled anywhere, is M. N. Koll of Cass Lake, exreceiver of the Cass Lake U. S. land office, who is dealing somewhat extensively in landslocated in the vicinity of Black- duck and Tenstrike, and who has sold thousands of acres in Cass county to homeseekers from other states. Mr. Koll has of late taken a lively interest in the lands of eastern Beltrami county, and while here vesterday stated that he had re- ceived many hundreds of inquiries concerning the lands in the vicinity of Cass Lake, Bemidji, Tenstrike and Blackduck and the country intervening from parties who were desirous of locating and making homes on the tillable and fertile acres of this section. Mr. Koll stopped in Bemidji for several hours, being on his way from Cass Lake to Blackduck and Tenstrike to close some -deals for lands at the two latter plases. While Mr. Koll claims that he is out of politics, it is well known that he wields a big influence not alone in Cass county, but also in Douglass county, his old home. Just what influences were brought to bear to cause Mr. Koll’s resignation as receiver of the U. S.land office at Cass Lake is not known, but that all promises of the campaign made previous to the last state election were not carried out is conceded, and it is intimated that Mr. Koll was not used just exactly right, although he himself refuses to dis- cuss the matter. He was succeeded hy Senator Wood of Long Prairie, who is making a very acceptable receiver, and who was one of Con- gressman Lindberg’s “right-hand” men. Week-End Excursions.
