BEMIDJI SALOONS LEFT ON OUTSIDE OF DRY DISTRICT Will Not Be Closed by New Order of Commissioner of Indian Affairs as Long as Business Is Conducted ’ Properly—Moorhead Can Sell Beer. Bemidii has been left out of the new dry territory outlined by the commissioner of Indian affairs at Washington. The line runs down the east line of Range 34 west to near the county line and then over to Cass county. This makes Be- midji the only wet town from Crookston to beyond Deer River. The towns in the district are divided into two classes. The first is partially dry, being closed to whisky, brandy, rum, gin, or any distilled liquor. The second is closed to liquors of every kind and description. Malt liquors, such as beer and wines can be sold in cities of the first class. Liquor dealers in the new district who have not already been closed up will be given until September 15 to dispose of their goods. William Johuson, chief special officer, has in- structed his deputies to see that the order of the commissioner is strictly enforced. He has also stated that he hopes that the dealers in the towns surrounding the new dry district will conduct their business in such a manner that a further extension of the bcundaries will be unnecessary. The Indian commissioner says that the territory has been limited to the districts close to the reser- vation because of the limited approp- riation available for the suppression of the liquor traffic among the dians. Deputies have been instructed to operate actively in the new terri- tory so that desired end may be accomplished without a further ex- tension of the boundaries. Moorhead has been placed in the first class and will only be allowed to sell beer and wines. ‘Whether or not this will suit the brewers there is not known at the present time, Fargo is just across the river from Moorhead and as North Dakota has been dry for many years, the Fargo people have obtained their drinks from Moorhead. It is claimed by some that Fargo people are financially interested in the Moorhead saloons and will fight before they allow them to be closed. The action of of the commissioner is based on treaties with the Indians in 1851, 1855 and 1863 when they ceded their lands to the United States. It was made a provision in those treaties that the laws regu- lating the liquor traffic in the lands at that time should be enforced by the governmental officials until changed by Congress or the presi- dent. The Indians turned the re- strictions under which they were then living over to the government for enforcement. The Circular. Following is the circular issued, from the Department of the In- terior, by Chief Officer Johnson to his deputies. To those interested: — Attention is called to the follow- ing instructions from the Honer- able Commissioner of Indian Af- fairs relative to the enforcing of certain treaty stipulations in the state of Minnesota. “The laws of the United States pro- hibiting the introduction and sale of liquor into the Indian country are applicable to the lands in the State of Minnesota ceded to the United States by the several treaties with the various bands of Sioux and Chippewa Indians, towit: Sioux. “Article 5, treaty with the Sioux Sisseton and Wahpeton bands, Act of Congress of July 23, 1851. “.'The laws of the United States prohibiting the introduction. and sale of spiritous liquors in the In- dian country shall be in full force and effect throughout the territory hereby ceded and lying in Minnesota until otherwise directed by Congress or the president of the United States.’ Chippewa. “Article 7, with the Chippewa Indians, Act of Congress of Feb., 22, 1855. ** 'The laws which have been or may be enacted by Congress regulat- ing trade or intercourse with In- dian tribes, to continue and be in force within the several reserva- tions provided for herein; and those portions of said laws which pro- hibit the introduction, manufacture, use of, and traffic in ardent spirits wines or other ligors, in the Indian country, shall continue and be in force, within the entire boundaries of the country hereby ceded to the United States, until otherwise pro- vided by Congress.” “Article 7, treaty with the Chippewa Indians, Red Lake and Pembina bands, Act of Congress of Oct. 2, 1863. “'The laws of the United States now in force, or that may hereafter be enacted, prohibiting the intro- duction or sale of spiritous liquors in the Indian " country, shall be in full force and effect throughout the country hereby ceded, until other- wise directed by Congress or the President of the United States.’ “On account of the limited appro- priation available for the suppres- sion of the liquor traffic among the Indians, it is advisable to concen- trate the work, as far as possible, to the territory within and adjacent to the existing Indian reservations: and it is believed that active opera- tions by you in the following design- ated territory within the limits of ceded Indian lands in the state of Minnesota will possibly be sufficient to accomplish the desired end: ¢1. Throughout all of Becker, Cass, Clay, Hubbard, Mahnomen, and Norman counties. 2.

Throughout that portion of Itasca county lying south of town- ship 147 north, and west of range 26 west of the Fourth Principal Meridan, “6. Throughout that portion of Ottertail county lying north of township 136. “7. Throughout that portion of Polk county south of township 150 and west of the eastern boundary of October 2, 1863 described above. “8. Throughout that portion of Red Lake county east of range 44, south of township 152 and west of the eastern boundary of the treaty of October 2, 1863, described above. 9. Throughout that portion of Wadena county lying north of the Mississippi river. “Shipments of unfortified wine, (that is, wine that that is not con- cealed butshipped openly and with the knowledge of the department) for sacrimental purposes, to clergy- men only; and shipments of liquors to licensed druggists, whose business is conducted in such a manner that they are not liable to the payment of the internal revenue tax as ‘retail liquor dealers’, should not be inter- fered with by you. “Liquor dealers within the defined district, whose business has' not hitherto been closed, will be given until Sept. 15,1910, to close their business and remove their stock from said district. *'Federal or state statues prohibit- ing the sale of liquor to the Indians' shonld be vigorously enforced where. ever there is a treaty BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 25, 1910. of whether it is within or without the limits of the district defined above.” Instructions Will Be Enforced.

When he arrived in Bemidji, the governor was taken to the Mark- bam and he stayed in a private par- lor while his clothes were tlken out and pressed. - About five o’clock, the party, accompanied by about twenty local men, were taken on a trip around the lake on the Yankee Doodle and the Storm King. The Storm'King had a loose shaft and could not make full speed so that the trip was cut off at Third Point in order that the party might get back for supper. The Yankee Doodle grounded when it tried to get over the Diamond Point bar and J. O. Harris had to get out with “Mac” and shove the boat into deep water. After supper, six automobiles took the party on a trip ‘through the residence section of the city, up the Lake Boulevard drive, and out the Turtle River road for four miles. After returning to the Markham, the governor was asked to inspect the Crookston mill. At the mill, the foreman took those who wished to make the inspection onto the floor of the mill and explained the machinery. From Bemidji, the private car was taken to International Falls.- Today the party is in Roseau and will go to Crookston tomorrow. The Governor’s First Vacation. Speaking of ‘the trip, Governor Eberhart said, “This'is my first vacation since I have been in office. We have four reasons for making the trip. We want to inspect the ditches, explore ' the northwest angle, look over the crap situation, and see how much damage the brush fires are doing to Minnesota timber. Fortunately, this rain to- day has put a stop to'them, ‘The governor talked with several Liberty farmers on crop: prospects and later said that the outlook in this section was better than any- where else in the state. He has recently returned from the' corn ex- position:at Omaba and is enthusias- ago, no one ever thought of Minmne- Sota as a corn state, but our farmers are fast finding the varieties that are best suited to their soil. It will only be a few years before northern Minnesota will be one of the great corn producing sections of the coun- try. Experiments with corn are now going on and the right variety will soon be found.” Governor Eberhart said that he doubted if the Democrats nominat- ed John Lind, but that he thought Lind was their strongest man. When he heard that. the Demo- cratic county convention claimed to be responsible for the rain, he laughed and said that it could not be for his party started it at Cass Lake. One on the Governor. After nspecting the ditch at Ferris, the governor was being driven to Cass Lake by a twelve year old boy. The horses were not going as fast as he thought they should and he suggested to the boy that as they were getting wet, the horses might be urged on a little, The boy, not knowing whom he was driving, replied, “I{ you don’t think this is fast enough, you can get out and walk,” Halvor Steenerson came over from Crookston and joined: the party here. Albert Berg of Spooner, and C. R. Middleton, of Baudette, were invited to join it and pro- bably made connections at Inter- national Falls. Governor Eberhart refused to make any speeches as he said that he was not on a political tour, but he talked informally with several local politicians on' state politics. 3 Standing . of flis Clubs Amerlcan Association Lost Pet . 34 ..660.| 41 .582 40 .579 47 489 48 473 53 .430 Indianapolis .396 Louisville. ... 379 Lost Pet . . 29 .42 New York 45 34 .570 Pittsburg 46 35 .568 Cincinnati . 43 41 512 Philadelphia -39 41 .488 St. Louis. ..38 46 .452 Brooklyn ..34 ‘50 .405 Boston .. ..33 52 .388 American League Won Lost Pet Philadelphia ¥ 26 .683 Boston . . 33 .602 New York 34 .600 Detroit. . . 41 .529 Cleveland . 43 449 Washington 49 417 Chicago. . .398 St. Louis. 313 Results Saturday.
