DANE, lfllm The Graham Investigation, In spite of the denials and addi- tional charges which have been flying about since the Graham com- miltee reported last week on the conditions at White Earth, two facts stand out clearly. The Indians were Gefrauded of their timber and at pres- ent they are in a pitiable physical condition. There is not much use in trying to get back timber that has been lumber for many years, but if there is any way congress can punish the lumber companies and individuals who plot- ted the downfall of the Indians and by collusion robbed them of their birthright, no stone should be left unturned to bring them to bar. At the same time some steps should be taken to protect the Indians who are in want and suffering; to estab- lish hospitals and provide medical treatment for those who are diseased and have no money with which buy medicines. to It is the fault of congress and the Indian department that the Indians were robbed of their heritage and congress amends. Ever since the white man has been in Minnesota, the Ojibway has been his ‘friend and the Sioux his enemy. Yet the whites have despoiled both peoples—the Ojibways even more than the Sioux. The treatment of the Indians is a blot on the scutcheon. The Graham investigation should not be allowed to die a natural death. must make That’s Going Some. Hibbing Ore: The passenger train on the Minnesota & International railroad had a race with a span of mules the other day, and if it hadn’t been that the mules got fast in a bridge near Farley, the train would not have caught them. The M. & I. needn’t think it is so many, for our little old Wooden Shoe caught up with a cow on the track ane day—the cow was coming towards it. The Personal Property Tax. The personal property tax for this year is 56.5 mills for Bemidji ac-|| cording to the statements sent out by the county treasurer. It may be of some interest to those who are pay- ing the tax to know where the money is going. The tax levy this year is as follows: For the state: General revenue ... 2.35 School fund ...... 1.23 Total .eevetdons 3.58 For the county: General revenue ... 7.62 Road and bridge... 2.00 Sinking fund ...... 6.80 Total c.oovvecnnn 16.42 For the city: h Gereral revenue ... 8.00 Permanent improve- ments .... 4.80 Poof fund .. 1.60 Interest . 1.30 State loan ... .30 Total .......... 3 16.50 School district No. 7: General revenue-... 16.50 Interest and sink- ing funds ...... 2.90 School house . . .60 Local one mill tax.. 1.00 Total tax in mills - 56.50 In Koochiching county, the county tax {8 12.22 mills. International Falls pays 11.6 mills for schools, and 18.1 mills for city funds. Tts total levy is 45.5 mills. The village pay- ing the highest taxes in Koochicling county is Mizpah, which pays 58.2 mals. The Pioneer has not figures ffom other counties available at this time.

Amsten’ dam known as-the Bacchanals appears to have been a variety ot the general carnival festivities of Shrove Tues.|- day. The matter came up for the de clsion of Peter Stuyvesant on .oral complaint (February 25, 1654) of the ens of the town that without their consent the director-general had is. sued “an Interdict and forbidden some farm servants to pluck the .gaose at the Bacchanal on the eve of ‘Ash ‘Wednesday.” Hardkopplg Plet re ‘sponded -that “it has :never been the custom _in /this ;country during -their {time .and is considered entirely frivo- laus, needless and disreputable by subjects ' -and neighbors to cele- brate such heathenish and popish fes: tivals and to: introduce such bad cus- tome ‘into ‘this .country even though, a8 the :hurgomasters and _schepens pretend, it may ‘be tolerated in some places of our Fatherland or be winked at” (Documents xiv., 249). The order ‘was communicated by Claes van Els- landt, but 'the farm servants plucked the goose deflantly, two or three-vill: fled their superiors and were.clapped nto jail. Soclety People Classified.

'HEEBERT J. LOUD. NOBOGY CAN TELL THAT YOU DARKENED YOUR GRAY, FADED HAIR WATH SAGE TEA % MIXED WITH SULPHUR MAKES ‘HAIR SOFT, LUSTROUS AND . CURES DANDRUFF. ‘t'he use of Sage and Sulphur for re- storing faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother’s time. She kept her hair beautifully darkened, glossy and abundant. with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appear- ance this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date, Nowadays skilled chem- ists do this better than ourselves. By asking at any drig store for the ready - to-use product—called “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy”—you will get a large hottle for about fifty cents. Some druggists make their own, which is usually too sticky, so insist upon .getting “Wyeth’s” which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry, feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair. A well-] known downtown druggist says his custorers insist on Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur, because, they say, it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been ap- plied—it’s so easy to use too. You isimply dampen a sponge or soft brush and draw it through yur hair, taking one strand at a time. Do this at night and by morning the gray hair | disappears: after another application or two, it is restored ~to its natural color #nd looks glossy, soft and abun- reliable and will give you the best value for your money. ; 4 i NORTHERN GROCERY ssesssem s GROCERS secssenesacee ok KA e kA wRAATRAA R A AR | i | FARAARRAIAARIIIAAARI IR HREX KA TR AN KR **t**'fii*’**i * Novllthounotooponl % bank account with % sE0 RIS ] mmuam&numn: x * ¥ FOR GOOD THINGS TO BAT X & @0 'To x * * 570 AR ARDRARKGSER. . § % * “THEY BEAT."” : - %207 Fourth istrest, ‘Bemidji. & x -Phone;406. * * 2 N&Mfi”fiifllfiffi#mm AR EAAAIIIIAIIR I * x * * * £3843858 4 x $3888888 * o om b4 $oiem * : JOHN G.
