With the understanding that Cfgtu Sells, commissioner of Indian affairs - at Washington,' is likely to issue an order at any time calling for the en- $ forcement of the provisions of the 1855, treaty, the ungent need of im- . mediate action on the part of the -|business men of the territory in or- ‘|der that a hearing might be granted, ‘was brought out at a meeting of rep- resentatives from many towns of the district, at a meeting held last even- ing. Pk 3 Organization Formed- There are more than one hundred towns within the territory covered by the treaty and at the meeting last night an organization*was formed for the, purpose of causing a united' ef- fort to be made that a representative of the department of Indian:affairs might be sent here that ‘the facts concerning the enforcement of - the law may be presented. The - 'pur- pose of the organization’ is not "0 assist the liquor interests in ' con- tmulng the sale of Hquor but for the many business reasons. ¥ Bemidji Man President.: In- order that the - organization might have a working head, thereby making it \possible that certaln work’ mlght be accomplished, it was de- cided to name a president, vice-prés- ident and secretary. .E.’A. Barker was elected president; M. T. Dunn of Brainerd, ' vice-president, and M. N. Koll of Cass, Lake, secretary. ~ No liquor dealers are in any way con- nected with“the organjzation: It is not known just ‘when.Com- missiomer . Sells will issue an order for the enforcement of the-treaty pro--" visions, but there is every reason to ibelieve that it is~his present inten- tion to do so-and that his order will be given out very soon unless it s show that the business men of the district.involved are desirous that a more thorough investigation be made. Each one of the one hundred towns {of the district will have one.man on the Treaty committee, sixty of these representatives already having been named. Telegrams Being Sent. Hundreds of telegrams are being sent to Washington asking that con- ditions be investigated in order :that should Sells issue his order, his department ‘will understand fully the existing conditions. The treaty was made when the ter- ritory was a wilderness; since that time it has become populated by 400,- 000 whites and there reside therein less than 8,000 Indians, confined to a few localities; therefore to enforce the treaty throughout the . entire country at this time, will, in addition’ to preventing the introduction of li- quors. for medicinal and sacramental purposes, work a hardship not onto to the individual rights of the white people, but deteriorate and destroy both real and personal property to hundreds * of i thousands of dollars and seriously in- |terfere with the further settlement :and development of the country. Favor a Limit. While there are none that feel the Indians should ‘be in a‘territory di- rectly in contact with liquor selling; establishments, the idea is strongly favored which would cause the cre- ating of a boundary line such as the igame protecting limits at Yellowstone National park and at the Itasca state It is'the opinion that a twen- ervations would be agreeable to those iwho are opposed to' the fulfillmenl of the treaty laws. This would mean .that the sale ot Hquor would not be allowed within {twenty ‘miles of -th -Teservation limits. ' ’I‘l_wre wm'hfe a dartee in the city hdll' this evening.
