E, Richard- reir attorney, today filed a est against patenting to the state Minnesota large tracts of valuable ps lands, which are embraced e “black lines” of the nation- est reservation. the forestry people tried to utrol of these lands, which will sy be made rich farming tracts age. the state of Minnesota Auditor Iverson lays claim tracts covering upward of acres in Leech Lake, Winne- goshish, White Oak Point and White Earth reservation. Richard- tends that the Indians have whership of all swamps lands ibraced in the northern reserva— Treaties and acts of congress are ted to prove his contention and is made that treaty of 1855, state claims that Indians ied these lands, is null and void. lleged that the bureau of fores- lands set apartas part of fede forest reserve in Minnesota ind thereupon state made its claim. Av issue was thus raised between the forestry bureau and the state of linnesota and Mr, Richardson in- sists that the Indians were not cons sidered. He affirms that the people f Minnesota will not approve of the acquisition of property at the expense f the Indians. Lands involved which are said to be valuable after being drained em- r ards of 100,000 acres. Secretary Hitchcock after a hearing granted to Attorney General Young and State Auditor Iverson, held that the lands belonged to the state and apnroved them for patent. But since which Hitchcock’s decision no action has een taken. His action was in direct opposi- tio decision of Hoke Smith when secretary of interior, who held that the Red Lake swamp land was the property of the Indians and did not belong to the state under the ene swamp land grant. 1 toa Lost—Two silk umbrellas. left at e between Deer and Moose jakes.

The associa- tion, which numbers on its role some 3,000 of the honored elder citizens of the state, is ambitious to bring to pass a grand semi-centennial celebra- tion of the admission of Minnesota to the union in 1858, to be held in Sep- tember, 1908. : It is now proposed, with every hope of success, to expand the regular fall meeting of the state fair, intoa twe weeks’ grand state celebration of the semi-centennial and to supplement that idea with a great bome-coming time, during which the sons and daughters of Minnesota in other states, will wend their way home for a visit to the North Star state. The first preliminary work has been entirely successful and gives the promoters of the movement reassur- ing hopes of success. Public spirit seems tobe readily interested and substantial aid has been volunteered by men whose prominence and efficiency in all that concerns the public welfare have been proyen on many occasions of public and semi- public activity. While the work now being done is along the line of the distrivution of literature, of newspaper annvuunce- ments and of personal conference, the association has aecided to hold a great mass meeting on the state fair grounds on Sept. 5, 1907, to aid the necessary impetus for the realization of the idea of the semi-centennial and home-coming time for the year 1908. The old territorial assvciation 1s always to be found in its quarters on the state fair grounds. Its log cabin is one of the land marks and it has been granted the art building, com- monly known as the institute build- ing, which it will furnish with terri- torial treasures, portraits and co!lec- tions of early souvenirs and pioreer literature. This fine home of the association will of itself serve to attracta large number of the old-timers to the state fair, and they will ail participate actively in the movement to secure from the state fair managers co oper- ation in making the 1908 meeting of the fair a fitting sem centennial celebration. Allscid pioneers and old {settlers and persons interested, are asked to attend the grand mass meeting to be held Sept. 5, and sv lend their influ- ence to carry into operation a plan which is simple and practicable, and which will bring much good to the state. As an indication of the interest elicited the following announcement from three prominent business firms may be quoted: “The Minnesota Territorial Pioneer association is arranging fora mon- ster mass meeting on the state fair grounds, on Thursday, Sept. 5 to organize for individual and united effort for such a two-weeks state fair and semi-contennial jubilee in 1908 as wil] demand special railroad rates from all points in the United States and Canada, and show the world the most wonderful advancement made in any section in fifty years. “We have been requested to co- operate; and as this means so much to us asa state, we individually and personally most heartily indorse the movement and urge your attendance. Let the whole Northwest back up the association in this very commendable undertaking. ITASCA’S SHERIFF OF RIGHT KIND That the stand taken by Sheriff Hooliban in the interests of law and order and to preserve the peace and dignity of the state of Minnesota are appreciated not only at home but in neighboring counties, the following from the Duluth Herald is pertinent and to the point: Evidently the good people of Nash- wauk. Bovey, Coleraine, Grand Rapids and other points in Itasca county have been misled in regard to Gover- nor Johnson’s attitude toward Sheriff Hoolihan’s splendid efforts to uphold the law and preserve orderin that county. The stand taken by Sheriff Hoolihan, of course, has enraged the agitators who have fomented trouble among the miners. They sent pro- tests to the governor and charged the sheriff with interfering with their “rights aS citizens Naturally, Governor Jonson requested the sheriff to-send his version of some of the stories in handling the situation. This did not mean any reflection by the governor upon the course pursued by the sheriff. On the contrary, the Herald is ina position to know that Goyernor Johnson has highly com- mended the strong and energetic measures adopted by the sheriff of Itasca county to repress disorder and protect the law-aviding citizen from DEFECTIVE PAGE. sre 1 the Me ge the governor expressed admira- tion of the fearless attitude of Sheriff Hoolihan and pointed to his splendid work as an ijlustration of what an energetic and determined official can accompljsh in the preservation of order. The action of Sheriff Hoolihan in arresting several leaders of the strikers at Nashwauk undoubtedly prevented rioting and possibly blood— shed. These men were inciting their followers to acts of lawlessness, and the county jail is the proper place for them. The mines at Nashwauk are being operated with practically full forces of men, and there would be little or no trouble there if the agitators from the outside were kept out or prevented from inciting the few idle miners to violent demonstra- tions. Sheriff Hoolihan has there- fore taken action to enforce the orders against mass meetings, parades and display of the red flag of anar- chism, and up tu date appears tu have been' highly successful. He hus the strong moral support of the law- abiding people of Nashwauk and the unqualified approval of all other loyal citizens of Minnesota. Governor Johnson today sent a telegram to Sheriff Hootiban specially commending his course in dealing with the disorderly element. DOCK STRIKERS RESUME WORK The ore dock strike at Duluth been settled. Not beaten or whipped or iotimi- dated by strike-breakers, but realiz- ing that they could nut secure the demands they made, the dock work- ers voted to accept the terms of the steel company ard returned to ‘work Thursday morning. The compaoy will giye the old men preference and wili show no discrimi- nation against the strike leaders. In fact the men and the employers seem to beon much better terms than be- fore the strike was called, and it bas apparently served to bring them inte a better understanding with each other. The men recognize that the company is disposed to treat them fairly and the company better appre- ciates the need of the men. STRIKE LEADER UNDER ARREST has Telftilo Petriella, the active leader of the strike, was placed under arrest at Hibbing Monday morning on the charge of carrying concealed weap- ons. Petriella and Mahoney, the acting president of the Western Federation of Miners, were driving in the federa- tiun carriage toward Chisholm. They were crossing the bridge which leads to the Sellers mine, when the guard ordered them to stop. ginstead of pulling in the horse Petriella whipped up and tried to pass. The guard fired several shots into the air and Petri- ella was instantly surrounded by sey- eral deputies and arrested. When searched he was found to have a re- volver and $900 in money on bis per- son. He was held on the charge of carrying concealed weapons Maho- ney offered to allow himself to be searched, but he carried nu weapons. The charge against Petriella is nota serious one, and he is not accused of making threats, and the. greatest penalty that can be inflicted is a small fine, which he can easily pay from the money found in his posses- sion. The strikers made no attempt to gather about their building where their leader was contined. SWEET MARIE TO GO Sweet Marie, champion trotting mare of the world, will be at the Minnesota state fair to endeavor to break her world’s record of 2:02, made at Columbus, Ohio, last September. Sweet Marie is one of the greatest horses alive and is unduubtedly the fastest trotting maré and perhaps the fastest trotter that the world has seen. Cresceus is the only race horse that has ever been in her class, and it is possible that a race between the two will be arranged for fair week. At all events Sweet Marie will go against her record and will give a magnificent exhibition, If Dan Patch again lowers the world’s record fur a pacer and Sweet Marie should lower the record fora trotting mare, the state fair will beoneof the great events in the horse world. The fair is to be held the week of September 2 be to 7 and Will history of the s the ate. For Sale.
