Avyery, state game and fish commis- sioner, was in Bemidji this morn- ing 'en route - to the reservation where he will interview George W. . Cross, superintendent, in an effort to , secure permission to net fish in_ail parts of both Upper and Lower Red Lake. Since fishing operations opened .last month the state has found it necessary to confine its fishing operations to the section of Red Lake which is outside of the reser- -vation, demand being made that the Indians are entitled to a bonus on all tish sold which had been caught . in such waters as were within the Ragency boundary lines. Trip to Washington. b As the Red Lake fish supply is of " importance in providing various mar- kets of the state, providing people of ‘Minnesota opportunity to secure fresh -fish at a remarkably low cost, this change in plans served as a ser- jous handicap to the work, it being necessary to haul the fish by motor boat a distance of 50 miles before they could be prepared for shipment. In consequence of this fact Commis- " gioner Avery made a special trip to Washington where he interviewed members. 6f the Thdian bureau in an ffort to arrive at :some understand- tinued. ‘With the approach of J: uly and Au- gust and, the increasing demand for .fish it is essential that some ar- rangement be completed whereby the fishing previously conducted at Red Lake be renewed, and it is for such a’"purpose that Commissioner Avery is making his trip today. During the past year the state has expended a large amount of money in fmproving its Redby fisheries and in building a motor boat to be used for collecting purposes. 4 SPT~AL ELECTION CALLED.

EMBARGOES CHECK 1.5, AUTO EXPORTS Washington, June 13.—(United Press.)—A tremendous. »nd truck shortage, is fast ‘develop- ing in Europe because qt embargoes on motor vehicles, now:'in, force in England, France, and Italy, says Sec- retary C. C. Hanch of the National Automobile Chamber Bf Commerce. Hanch, who has just returtiéd from a four months’ investigation tour of .| Burope, declared that Buropean mar- kets could *“‘use up ‘every:‘American car and truck now- avlilafi)le over do- mestic requirements,? - if the em- bargoes were lifted. So strong is.the demand there, he said, that second-hand cars are sell- ing at twice the figures paid for ‘them, wken new, a few years ago. . “Importers of Americ,nn cars abroad, “Hanch stated,"” have made strong pleas for raising ,of .the em- hargoes now that the, war is over. But the only country Sto'act is Great Britain, who has permittéd importa- tion of one-fourth of that imported in 1913. France and Italy have taken no action. It is worth' noting that there is only one car for -every 400 people’ in France, one for every 225 in Great Britain, while there is ome for every 18 in this country.” Hanch declared that the automo- bile industry has g-reauy expanded in Europé, because of the many fac- tories which have sprung fip during the war. He said, however, that the plants will never be able to compete with the American product workers trained for producing in “mass pro- duction.” And although these fac- tories have much increased the sup- ply of cars and trucks abroad, they are far from enough. Exports of American motor car manufacturers are at the rate of { about $125,000,000 2 year, Which is about ten per cent of their total busi- ness, and with the lifting of embar- goes this amount will show a material ircrease, said Hanch. automobile | BANT: CFRT LAST NIGHT ENJOYED BY LARGE CROWD | With an audience whith complete- ly filled’ Library Park, the first open air concert by the Bemidji Mil band of the season was played last evening.

OUARTETTE FEATURES CHAUTAQUA PROGRAM On chautauqua programs quar- tettes always hold a pooular place. This season accordiig to Vawter chautauqua folks, Bemidji s to have a real quartette, four fellows who really sing. These fellows formerly made up what was known in chau- tauqua circles as the National Quar- tette. They 'were in great demand and appeared .on the programs of the greatest‘chautfluq;m assemblies in‘the country. Then the Wa!“ came on and the members of the 'quartette answered ‘the call. They were assigned to dif- ferent camps and went overseas in different outfits. This spring George Tack, the singer-comedian of the old National Quartette, . determined to re- organize the compgny if possible and spend one more season in chautau. qua work. Investigation revealed'the fact that all of the men had returned and had been. discharged. So they have re-organized ‘the quartette and under the management of George B. Tack will be here for the opsnlng number of our chautauqua. The base of the program is sajd b be built around the male quartettd, although the fellows do offer lnstrw— mental numbers and clever readings by way of variety. The comedy hit of the program is said 'to be Tack’s interpretation of the famous Quar- tette from Rigoletto. In his number the boys don long, flowing whiskers and these hirsute. adornments and the burlesque gesturgs, together with the singing, is said to make this number one of the cleverest bits of song comedy on the p BIBLE CONFERENCE OF INTEREST TO MANY Large and interested audiences were in attendance last night at the simultaneous Bible conferences be- ing held in the Bemidji Bnngm church and Fifth ward Congregation- al church.
