THE BEMIDJI TENN Hlstoncal Somety. SOCIETY. VOLUME 7. NUMBER 161. BEMIDJI. MINNESOTA, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 25, 1909, - FORTY' CENTS PER MONTH: INDIAN DEP'T. DEMANDS - A LICENSE REVOCATION Claim Made that T. Dugas and Frank Gagnon Sold Liquor to Indians.—City Council Requested to Cancel the Dugas License. The city council of the City of Be- |that they would assist in enforcing midji will, tonight, be called upon to consider the request of H. A. TLarson, deputy special officer of the United States Indian service to fortwith cancel the license held by T. Dugas on the ground that Dugas has been selling liquor to Indians. Mr. Larson came to Bemidji on Thursday, and at once took up with| Acting Mayor George W. Rhea the matter of cancelling the Dugas license in accordance with an agree- ment entered into at a meeting held several weeks ago, whereby local liquor dealers agreed with the Brew- ers’ association not to sell liquor to Indians, with the alternative of hav- ing their license revoked. The matter of revoking this license is the direct result af the investiga- tions that have been made by special deputies, under the direction of William E. Johnson, chief special| officer of the United States Indian| service, to assist in the suppression | of liquor traffic among the Indians. When the provisions of the Indian treaty were made known some time | ago, the Brewers’ association became very active in assisting in having the laws observed relative to the sale of liquor to Indians. On May 21 a meeting was held here at which every liquor dealer 1n Bemidji signed an agreement with the Brewers’ association not to sell any liquor to Indians. This agreement contained a provision that licenses should be revoked if the agreement was violated. Mayor Pogue was present at this meeting, as were also City Attorney John F. Gibbons and County Attor- ney Chester McKusick, and all three signed an agreement to the effect the state laws relative to selling liquor to Indians. It appears that special deputies were sent here to watch local dealers, with the result that the council is requested to revoke * the Dugas license. . The matter will come up for consideration at this evening’s meeting of the city council. Mr. Larson, the special officer who is in Bemidji to be present at the “meeting of the council“this evening, says of the intentions of the Indian deparfment: “The majority. of the liquor deal- ers in Bemidji have apparently been trying to live up to the agree- ment made by th\e city authorities and themselves. “Itis not the intention of the In- dian department to take drastic action against those dealers who do not sell liquor to Indians. The | department is not interested in the sale of liquor. to whites, but it is insistent that the sale of liquor to the government wards shall cease, once forall.” The following is a copy of the re- quest made by Mr. Larson to the city council to cancel the license of Mr. Dugas, together with the notice served on Mr. Dugas by Act- ihg Mayor -George Rhea to appear before - the council Monday evening and show causes why his license ghould not be revoked.

The story is told in five acts, and the company carry all of their own scenery and stage equipment for the entire production. The plot and scenes are laid along the Rio Grande River in the early nineties, a very interesting period in the history of Texas. Mr. Ernest Stout, the author, has added but very little ficititious em- bellishment to the already interest- ing facts.

The Bemidji High School Football elevel;,'on last éaturday, decisively defeated the Crookston High School Football eleven, the final score of :the “game being 15 to 0, Be; outclassing’ the “Queen City” bunch. The game wasplayed at Crookston, with Mr. Thorson of Crookston acting as referee, and Hallon Huff- man of this city filling the position of umpire. The ‘members of the Bemidji eleven state that they fairly made no less than eight touchdowns, only three of which were allowed, the referee ‘claiming that, when the Bemidji players broke up the line of the Crookston team they did so by hurdling. So. powerful were the Bemidji linemen that they bowled over their opponents in such fashion that the onslaught was mistaken for hurdling. All of the Bemidji boys played fize ball and the Crookston boys had no “look-in” on the game... The Crooks- ] : were much; lighter than Bemidji, and they never had the ball in close proximity to the Bemidji goal, The Bemidji players used the forward . pass and on-side kick to good ‘advantage. The Bemidji High Sehool eleven will play against the Fosston high schoofi¢leven, at: Fosston, next Sat- urday. Kirk Logging Near Northome.

Four cottages have been built on different advantageous pofnts of Lake Itasca, near Douglass lodge, for the use of summer visitors to the park. These have been filled con- stantly by visitors, of whom there have been many during the past season, many coming from points outside the state to enjoy an outing at the headwaters of the “‘Fathers of Waters.”” The board has receptly purchased from T. J. Nary forty acres of land in the northwest correr of the park, which while included within the limits of the park, was not the pro- perty: of the state; and Professor Green stated that the board would probably purchase considerable more land similarly situated. The board has favorably con- sidered the proposition of the Pine Tree Lumber company, which owns 3,2000 acres of pine land, the state to pay the taxes on the land for a term of ten years, the land to be- come the property of the state, together with all hardwood, as well as pine, spruce and balsalm under eight inches in diameter at four feet six inches from the ground. “The forestry school which is being conducted at the State Park every summer has become a splendid success, and is bringing about excellent results to the students, as they are given practical lessons in forestry by experiments in the park; and Professor Green states that the summer forestry school ot 1910 will be even more successful than previ- ous terms.
