Secretary Bliss So Considers the Dead and Down Timber Regulations. The annual report of the secretary of the interior, Bhes, is issued. ‘The Indians are declared to have made substantial progress and the Chippe- wa outbreak was the gnly serious | dis~ turbance of the year. Referring to this trouble, the report points to Cont: missioner of Indian Affairs Jones’ successful eftort in bringing about the surrender of the Indians, and says that, the origin of the trouble .1s now under joint investigation by the departments of the interior and of justice, “As” to the logging operations there, which figured so conspicuously in the dis- cussion of the outbreak, Secretary Bliss says, “The aggregate acreage of Chippe- wa pine and agricultural lands’ to be sold originally was 2,984,297; acres, exclusive of the land allotments to the Indians. | There have.been disposed of to date 86,545 acres of piné lands and 320,634 acres of agricultural lands, aggregating 407,179 acres. The total amount received from the sale of pine and agricultural lands is approxi- mately $659,913, which-has been de- posited in the treasury to, the credit of the Indians, as required by law. Ot the agricultural lands sold 320,634 acres were imbraced in homestead en- tries, on which there are “due $400,- 543. Congress has so far appropriat- ed as an advance to the Chippewa Indians $2,060,559, which appears to be reimbursed to the government. The approximate value of all the lands ceded by the Indians aggtegates. $5,273,010. “Upon the disposal of all such tands it is doubtful whether compliance with’ the requirements of this act regarding the disoursements of monies advanced: by the United States would impose any very great hardship on the In-' dians. No complaints of the junder-’ valuation. of the timber havé Deen made. The result of the dedd’,and. down timber operations on the! reser- vations during the year clearly ingi~ cates the wisdom of the carrying on of the work by the Indian contrac- tors, under the regulations promulgat- | 7 to 7° ‘o'clock: : in the interest, of the | fixed atthe low sum of :$r.00. ed, as being Indians —_ Logging operationsion this we .arein.

A prominent Duluth lumberman, requested that his name should not be mentioned in connection with the story, said‘ to a Duluth Herald re- porter Tuesday: “I have it on the most reliable authority that. Wright & Davis have about completed their plans for extending the Duluth, Mis- sissippi River & Northern to Duluth, They have considered the practic- ability of this project for the past two years, and a year ago a survey of the proposed route was made. ~ The en terprise was deferred at that time,and a traffic arrangement made with J. J. Hill, president of. the Great Northern, by which the old agreement with the] Duluth, Supenor & Western road now apart ofthe Fosston branch, -was continued for another year, andthe Wright “& Davis ore from Hibbing }: was hauled tothe docks on Allouez bay. Under this arrangement the Great Northern. . gets the greater. por- tion of the freight, » and: Wright & Davis have concluded’ that ‘they can make no more’ profitable investment than that involved’ in’the building of their own road. -to Duluth. “I under- stand that the ‘presence: of Morris Quinn in Duluth at this:time:is in'con- nection with this enterprise.

Huson ria Zeport from Deer River gives the following account of.a glove contest pulled: off there last Wednesday night: “A yery hot. glove. contest for. six rounds took place her: Wednesday -night:between ‘Tom Murray, of Grand Rapids, and Jack Cross, of Montana, who «was dubbed ‘the Keuben.’ It wa$@-hard fight from start to finish, reselying ina draw. | Murray was in poor condition, having »been drinking upto Sunday. Cross was tough and clever, but had no training. The bout was for 4 divide of gate receipts qd thete was about seventy-five paid spectators. Considering that it was Catch-as.catch-can. weight and both men strangers, the good fighting was a great surprise to-the audience. It is- probable that the two ‘men will come.together again for a’stake before long.” That the spy sent by the United States government to Spain during the war ‘should ‘have becosne the guest of Weyler * himself, . seems..incredible.. Yet there is nothing’ more’ true. The governnient’ ‘selected’ as its agent’a man, of position who, has lived much in Germany. It. was necessary: for us tg hdve a trained intellect that would nike no mistakes. “His ‘story. is told in the November , Cosmopolitan, and the most exciting pages of Duma’s fictionseem tame ‘in ‘comparison with the facts." ‘Crossing _the frontier ina fisst-class carriage, he was by a-trifling accident brought into: conversation with a young.

Some Conclusions That a Little Reasoning Might Bring About. “The Herald-Review last week was a ‘journalistic gem.’ It contained a tabulated statement of the vote of Itasca county, which it borrowed at this office,” etc.—Magnet. That’s the stuff; my little man; keep up your braggadocio whistle as long as possi- ble to sustain your courage. The day of reckoning cometh. apace... Re- alizing your own inferior abilities in the roll of newspaper publisher you endeavor to deceive the public and uphold an appearance of mastery with a bombastic display of critical The. work of] courage and superior editorial ability. Now, my little man, just for the sake of a convise analysis of your uncharit- ableness and uureasonableness, we will grant that the Magnet under its present management and editorship is the very best and brightest weekly publication in all the broad state of Minnesota and several other states not nece-sary to enumerate, and that the Herald-Review’ is. positively the inéasliest, meanest and most worth- less rag that ever went through any press in any state sinte the thirteen colonies were originally banded to- géther — what better snap do you want, and what kick, have you com- ing on this- arrangement? Under these agreeable conditions, which no doubt tickle your fancy and receive your most cordial approval, you ‘should enjoy almost.a complete mo- nopoly uf the newspaper patronage of Grand Rapids, with just enough opposition to keep out® some good man. Not to make it sound harsh and disagreeable by saying that you carp like on? a little daft—we will rise to remark that you are very un- kind and much of.an ingrate. And again, it might not be making the analysis too clear to suggest that. your burning sarcasm, keen satire. and masterful-invective might stir the slothful’ editor hereof to incréased energy and the employment of some intéllectual giant of journalism who would make your’life most miserable and your protits exceedingly reduced. -Why don’t you let: well-enough alone, with such ,a cinch in — sight? /Arother..suggestion for which we be pardotied for venturing to of- fer relates to the Magnet’s evident assumption that the reading public of -this.community is entirely Jacking in observation and discerning facultiés. We mutually agree as to the worth and worthlessness of the Magnet and Herald-Review, respectively. Why not be generoug enough to presume that the aforesaid public is no less competent to discover this very con- spicuous .fact as readily.as you and aGp''we?” However, niy..boy, ifsyou will promise to be good and hereafter-ex- reise’ a greater regard for the truth When you feel ips type your ponderous opiniéiis and try to realize the all importrnt fact that if ydu are really the big, brainy, philosophical genius you would have us common h, mortals believe you to*be, that the people will recognize your exceeding greatness and reward you accordingly —if you will take cognizance of these rules, we say—the Herald-Review will make strenuous efforts toward some slight "improvements. In the mean- time allow us to return to the origin- al text a moment, and call yeur for- getfulness into activity: A portion of the tabulated statement alluded to above was set up in’ the Magnet office with, type borrowed from the Herald-Review. | Why’ did you not state this fact,and alsostate that the report as it appeared in the Magnet was both. incomplete and incorrect, and that the vote on state officers did not appear in your paper at all? Be honest, my boy, and we will be friends, even as Adam Bede is—with all the world. Emergency Votes. Over in Cass‘county they have 3 pretty desperate lot of Republican politicians, if reports ‘are~ true—and the evidence is quite direct. ° It is said that P. H. McGarry, foymerly-of Grand Rapids, now residing: in. Watk- er, took an outfit of ballots and ballot boxes over to Willow River on elec- tion day and without authority of law and ‘without the legal establishment of precincts thereaway, proceeded to de- posit 85 or 100 illegal votes in said boxes from the hands of men who had not resided in the’precinct more than 10 days—men who; had: been “brought from the cities by lumber firms oper- ating on Willow. He opened. the polls at 6 o’clock in the morning:and closed the deal at noon. Thence he proceeded to Chougras Bros.’s camps with identically the same ballot boxes and deposited the votes of the men working there with those received at Willow. Alltold he picked up more than one hundred majority for Morris and returned triumphant to the county seat of Cass. »: These votes may not have been counted for the reason that it was learned they would not be needed to insure Page’s re-election, but-it-1s a c1se that should be -:thor- oughly investigated and made public by thé Democratic forces of that county. “Pp.
