BIG FLAG POLE AT THE GOURT HOUSE DESTROYED The Strong Wind of Saturday Night Broke Pole at About the Middle. The big flag pole which has stood on the lawn at the court house for some time past, and which was of such a commanding height as to cause comment thereon, has been wrecked, and a new pole will have to be put in to replace the “tall pine” which has stood as a sentinel for the display of *Old Glory” on holidays and all other state occasions when the county of Beltrami has desired to display its patriotism. The extremely severe wind of Saturday night struck the big pole with especial violence, breaking it at about the middle, the top portion fall- ing into the street and being broken in several pieces. The fall of the pole damaged nothing in the vicinity not even hitting the telephone and electric light wires that abound in that vicinity. A peculiar coincidence in connec- tion with the breaking of the pole is the fact that Peter Gallagher, a local lineman in the employ of the Northwestern Tele- phone Exchange company, had, a few days ago, submitted a proposi- tion to the board of county com- missioners for painting the pole from the bottom to the top. An investi- gation of the broken pole shows that had Gallagher attempted to paint the pole he would have virtually taken his life in his hands, as the pole was in a bad condition, and would most certainly have broken down with the painter. This flag pole was erected in the court house yard the year after the court house was built, and was con- siderably over 100 feet in height. Furniture for sale at 917 Minne- sota avenue. District Court. The trial of court cases continues in district court, and good progress is being made in cleaning up the litigation which had accumulated for consideration at this term. Yesterday afternoon, the case of William Schleif was placed on trial, and occupied the entire forenoon. This morning, the case of Beltrami county vs. the Village of Turtle River was taken up and tried. The case of the Mississippi River and Pine Tree Lumber companies vs. Mark Devine and B. J. Hinkle is important litigation on for trial. This is a case wherein the plaintiffs bring suit to have set aside the transfer of some timber from the plaintiffs to the defendants. Indian Department Again Withdraws Lands. The officials of the interior depart- ment at Washington are quite given to moods, especially in the matter of opening (or rather not opening) the lands of the reservations in the vicinity of Cass Lake which have been advertised as being in line to be opened and as often withdrawn from settlement for a number of years past. A few weeks ago it was announced from Washington that quite a BATH REQUISITES You will find here everythin, that helps to make the batl healthful and refreshing.

Now, a letter has been received from Washington, again withdrawing these lands from settlement for the period of another year. Itis such uncertain acts of the Indian department with relation to valuable agricultural lands that retards in a great measure the development of certain sections of northern Minnesota, more especially in the immediate vicinity of Cass Lake.

The Beltrami County School board held a meeting in the office of County Superintendent Stewart, yesterday afternoon, when several matters of importance to the board and terri- tory over which it has jurisdiction was considered. Miss Etta Harmon, who has been teaching school at Domas, on the northeastern shore of Upper Red lake, tendered her resignation to the board, desiring to teach at another point in the county. The board allowed the salary of several teachers and discussed con- templated new schools for the dis- trict where the board has supervision, The Beltrami County School Board has jurisdiction over the un- organized territory of the county, and has full authority in all school matters in those townships. The board is ‘composed of Viggo Peter- son, chairman of the board of county commissioners; Prof. W. B. Stewart, superintendent of county schools, and George H. French, county treasurer. Insane Man British Subject. Deputy Sheriff James Cahill re- turned to the city this morning from Baudette, where he had been on official business. While he was at the boundary town he took charge of an insane man whom he intended bringing to Bemidji for examination as to his mental condition, but it developed that the man was a subject of Great Britain,and his detention at Crookston is necessary until all the official “red tape” of the govern- ment in unwound in notifying the Canadians government of their sub- ject’s condition and desirability that he be returned across the boundary for the proper care on that side. The insane man was found in the Town of Wabanaca, near Baudette. Editor Davies Returned Home. N. S. Davies, editor of the Crooks- ton Times, departed this morning for his home at Crookston, having spent a week in Bemidji, breathing the ozone that makes robustfully healthy atheletes out of those narrow- chested inhabitants of the Red River Valley. Mr. Davies enjoyed his visit in Bemidji: and he goes back to his work invigorated and refreshed and much the better for having tarried with us, among the pines. Working on March Apportionment.

ROAD WINS IN " HIGHEST COURT Decision in So Called Port= land Gateway Case. NORTHERN PACIFICUPHELD Hill Line Objected to Order of Inten state Commerce Commission Com- pelling a Joint Rate as Demanded by the Union Pacific and Its Con- tention Is Sustained in Decision Written by Justice Holmes. ‘Washington, March 8.—The North- ern Pacific Railway company won its fight in the so called Portland gateway case by a decision of the supreme court of the United States. This controversy was over the at- ‘tempt of the interstate commerce com- aission to require the Northern Pa- cific to join with other railroads in establishing a through passenger route and joint rates from the East to Puget sound territory via Portland, Ore. In announcing the decision Justice Holmes said that the commission had power to require a new route only when no reasonable or satisfactory way already existed. The reasons as- signed by the commission as to why the Northern Pacific plan was not a satisfactory or reasonable ome could only be maintained by giving the words of the statute an artificlal mean- ing. The Portland gateway case, as it is known in railroad circles, originated in an inquiry instituted by the inter- state commerce commission early in 1909, the purpose of which was to de- termine whether a joint passenger route between Eastern points and Pu- get sound points, the principal ones being Seattle and Tacoma, should be ordered by the commission by way of the Union Pacific railroad to Portland and from there over the Northern Pa- cific to the sound. The Northern Pa- cific, having its own line from East- ern cities to the sound, objected, while the Union Pacific, whose line ends at Portland, insisted that the arrange- ment be made. 5 Commission Orders Joint Rate. After hearing the two roads the commission ordered that the Chicago and Northwestern, extending from Chicago to Omaha, the Union Pacific and allied companies, whose lines reach from Omaha to Portland, and the Northern Pacific, whose road con- nected Puget sound and Portland, es- tablish on or .before July 1, 1909, through routes and joint rates for the transportation of passengers and their baggage from Chicago, Omaha, Kan- sas City and other places in that ter- ritory to points-on the Northern Pa- cific railway between Portland and Seattle. The rates were ordered to be the same as those made by the Northern Pacific for the entire haul over its own line. Tae Northern Pacific immediately appealed to the federal court of ap- peals, sitting in St. Paul, for an order restraining the commission from put- ting the ruling into effect. The com- pany claimed it had a line of its own for the entire distance, the revenue from which was used, in part, to sup- port the large terminals-in the Puget sound district. It claimed that the order of the commission was an in- Jjustice in that it gave the rival lines the use of those terminals without taxing them with any of the expense. The circuit court of appeals upheld the claim of the Northern Pacific and granted the injunction asked. The case was immediately taken to.the United States supreme court and ex- pedited under a special law for that purpose and with the consent of the attorney general. The decision just rendered in favor of the Northern Pa- cific settles the question and estab- lishes a precedent for all similar cases. EXTEND CROWS NEST LINE Canadian Pacific to Fight Hill Roads for Business. ‘Winnipeg, March 8.—The Canadian Pacific railroad has announced that it will extend the Crows Nest Pass line to the coast. This road is being used, especially at present, to handle St. Paul business to Spokane. Action is hastened by the activity of J. J. Hill, who has been building fpurs in Brit- ish Columbia at such a rate that, fail- ing action by the Canadian Pacific railroad, he will enjoy a monopoly of the through traffic between Vancouver and the Kootenays by way of the rich Similkameen and Okanagan districts. At the present time the ®reat North- ern has more lines of railway running into Southern British Columbia than into any other part of the Canadian West. General Wood Returns to Duty. New York, March 8.—Major General Leonard Wood, commander of the de- partment of the East, is back at his headquarters on Governors island, completely recovered, he said, from the operation he underwent a few weeks ago at the Johns Hopkins hos- pital in Baltimore. The injury which made the operation necessary was re ceived in Cuba several years ago. CULBERSON FOR PRESIDENT Texas Democratic Committeeman Is Booming the Senator. San Antonio, Tex., March 8—S. M Johnston of Houston, Democratic na- tional committeeman from Texas, spent all day in discussion with Roger Sullivan, national Democratic commit. teeman from Illinois, in an attempt to get Mr. Sullivan’s support for Senator Charles A. Culberson of Texas asa Democratic candidate for president in 1912. Mr. Sullivan was non-commit- tal, he declaring it was too early to ex- préss himselr. In an interview Mr. Johnston said he told Mr. Sullivan that Senator Cul- berson is the most available man for the Democrats. W. J. Bryan, he told Mr. Sullivan, had been knocked over the rope “in Texas by Senator Bailey.” KING EDWARD MATCHMAKING Hopes to Arrange Marriage of Niece to King Manuel. Paris, March 8—King Edward, matchmaker. This is the title applied to the Eng- Hish ruler by certain French diplomats, who declare the king’s trip to Biar- ritz 18 not primarily for a holiday, but to meet the Marquis Amelie de Sov- eral, the Portuguese minister to Eng- land, to arrange a marriage between King Manuel of Portugal and the Prin- cess Patricia, daughter of the Duke of Connaught, the king’s brother. A meeting between the two at Biar- ritz was decided on, rather than a meeting at Buckingham palace, as it would occasion less gossip. STIRS SOCIAL AND ~ FINANGIAL GIRGLES Sensational Cudahy-Lillis Affair at Kansas City, Kansas City, March 8—With J. S Lillis, president of the Western Ex- change bank, in a serious condition in St. Mary’s hospital and John P. Cud- ahy, son of Michael Cudahy, the mil- lionaire packer, secreted in the home of a friend after attacking Lillis and being released on $100 bond, social and. financial circles are expecting sensational allegations to be made in the event Lillis’ injuries should prove fatal. Physicians at the hospital declare the banker will probably recover, but will be disfigured for life. He is suf- fering from severe cute about the face, arms and legs, supposed to Lave beer inflicted with a knife by Cudahy. Lillis was found in the parlor of the Cudahy home. He was half nude and bleeding from numerous jagged wounds, while Cudahy and his chauf- feur stood over his prostrate form. Cudahy told the police Lillis had ruined his home. Cudahys Are Social Leaders. The Cudahy family is one of the so- cial leaders in Kansas City. Lillis is a bachelor, aged forty-seven, and also prominent. Both Cudahy and Lillis were members of the same clubs and the banker has been intimate with the Cudahy family for years. It was re- ported a few months ago that Cudahy and Lillis had had a misunderstand- ing. Many rumors were rife at that time, but they faded away, although Lillis ceased to be a guest at the so- cial affairs in the Cudahy home. The Cudahys came to Kansas City ten years ago, after their marriage in Omaha. i Their honeymoon was a trip to Eu- rope, marked by special trains, royal suites on steamers and the renting of a castle in Italy. As a wedding pres- ent John Cudahy was made manager of the Kansas City branch of his father’s packing concern. Mrs. Cudahy has issued a statement in which she said that stories which have been circulated regarding her were distorted and untrue.
