Senator McCarthy returned this week from his mission to Washington, where he spent ten days with the of- ficials of the Indian and. Interior de- partments in behalf of his clients who | desire to continue the logging of the dead and down ttmber on the reser- vations of Northern Minnesota. | He u was entirely successful, and the; follow- ing general rules have been adopted and contracts are now being signed “| by the department authorities. The Instructions as briefty outlined are as follows: ‘They provide that green timber cut for roadway.-and boom- sticks shall be paid for at the rate of $3 per thousand, the proceeds to be accredited to the Indian funds. The commissioner recommends that a crew of markers be appointed at sala- ries of $50 per month, and that one marker be assigned to each camp. The accounts of the loggers and_con- tractors shall be supervised by the superintendent and Indian agent, and the commissioner expressly forbids the approval of any contract in which an officer of the land or Indian office is directly or indirectly interested.

It Pleased the Boys. | In commenting on an article that appeared in the columns of the Mag- {met week before last concerning the conduct of our public schools and the misconduct of some pupils, the Her- ald-Review took it for granted that the statements therein contained had been written by one of the village | educators—presumably by the princi- pal. It was not because of any par- i ticular merit or demerit in the subject, synthesis, or general style that might lead one to believe the editor -of our contemporary did not Let Us Help You Pick Them Out. ae We amie eS © ein ies Sie BECKFELT & MATHER. ae Se CSD Roe se ga 9 SS Bs Ge x: RESO S Soo Se SERS OOS See OURS oo pencil the publication in question, but it was due to the evident interest and familiarity. shown with local school affairs and the difficulties that arise to annoy the instructors and retard educational progress which caused us to believe that the article emimat.d that he did not write the local in question we are free. to make amend honorable, etc. But it really 1s amus- Magnet are to receive Heraid-Review endorsement of anything that appears in their paper.

Infllicity at Deer River Sheriff Toole started for Miner, S. D., yesterday armed. with a warrant for fhe arrest of Wesly P. Moore charged, with adultery. Frank E, Seaman is the complaining witness and Mrs. Seaman, wife of complain- ant , is alleged to be one of the guilty parties. Mr. Seaman avers specific charges of the offense to have taken place on May 17 of this year. The wronged husband states that he has hesitated until recently about making the matter public, hoping to reconcile his wife to her first love, bat some time ago she left his bed and board without notice and_has since failed to notify him of her whereabouts. _Pros- ecutor McCarthy has hesitated to is- sue a warrant, but the persistency of the aggrieved husband and the evi- dence which he had to present finally prevailed, and Sherift Toole is very apt toretura with the guilty min Mr. and Mrs, Seaman have a family of thie children. ThezAuditors Meet County Auditor-erect Farrell left for Minneapolis on ‘Thursday to at- {tend the annual meeting of county auditors to be held in the Hennepin county court house yesterday. Mr. Farrell desires to gain all the inform- ation possible before entering upon his new duties, sand a general discus- sion of important subjects cannot fail to be very beneficial to the newly elected officials. During the past three weeks he has worked with Auditor King and onthe and of January he will not be an entire stranger to the work ahead. The Minneapolis meet- ing is for the purpose of electing office:s and getting the new auditors acquainted with each other and with the hold-overs. , There are about forty new auditors in the state, about a third of the entire number, and most ofthem are likely to be at the meeting. Later, when the legislature meets, there will be another meeting of the association for. the purpose of talking over matters of interest re- garding tax legislation. Such n.eet ings are usually held during each ses- sion of the legislature. and consider- able good has resulted from them. Words of Praise “I can say for one that I called on Mr. Perreault and received only a few of his medicated vapor baths and was completely cured of a severe attack of rheumatism. Iwas a great sufferer from this disease, but today I feel like a new man, and do not hesitate to heartily recommend the: baths to any- jfrom an ‘authontive source. Inas- {much as Principal Carrell informs us| one suffering from rheumatism.” James Howmes.

McCarthy ofGrand Rapids, arrived in the city yesterday on. their, way home from Washington, where they had been in the interest of the Indian allotment made at Cass Lake by Mr. Lydick for his wife, a member of the Chippewa tribe, and his children. Both Sena- tor McCarthy and Mr. Lydick were exceedingly reticent in regard to the play which the latter is making for a fortune. Toa Herald reporter Senator Mc- Carthy said he could not make any prediction as to the time that a deci- sion would probably be reached. He seemed surprised when informed that Dar S. Hall, Indian alloting agent, had fully determined to decide against Mr. Lydick’s claims, and was curious to know on what grounds he took his position. He was told Mr. Hall had said that Mr. Lydick and his family had not resided on the land which is now sought to be held. as allotments, and that under the rule in force they had no claim to it. Senator McCarthy, in reply to this, said his clients had lived on the prop- erty since last August, and that they did not make any claim to residence, there prior to that time, As soon as Dar S. Hall has formally: passed upon the case it will be taken” before the Indian commissioner and will doubtless be heard by the secre-- tary of the interior before it is finally ~ determined. Should Mr. Lydick’s claim be set aside, some other means of disposing of the Cass Lake town- site will have to be provided. Sena- tor McCarthy said that under the’ present law no reservatioa land could be sold at publi¢ auction except that which has on it a specified amount of pine. The Cass Lake land, he said, with the exception of one forty, would not come under this head. Should some ruling be made by which the land could be sold to the highest bidder, it will undoubtedly bring a large price. It Mr. Lydick succeeds in his plan to secure the property. for his wife and children, he will be unable to sell any part of it, and anyone locat- ing at Cass Lake will be unable to obtain title to lots. Houses: and- leased from Lydick, on the same plan as is followed in the cities in Indian territory. This will mean that im- | provements at Cass Lake will not be of as substantial a character as might be expected if citizens were permit- ted to buy land outright. Should Mr. Lydick fail, the land will doubt- lesg be. acquired. by a townsite com- pany, and will more rapidly than it possibly could under the lease system.—D uluth Herald.
