DEPARTMENT GIVES WARNING The postal laws prohibit placing written messages in merchandise sages or letters on which less than 2 cents an ounce has been paid, and the provisiuns of this statute admit of no waiver of the penalty provided. During the last fiscal year. post- ice inspectors collected $59,065 for violations. In thousands of G a short note or memorandum was placed inside a package of merchandise on which postage was paid at I1centan ounce, while the written matter made it necessary that 2centsan ounce should’ have been paid. Finding that in a great number of cases the offense was due to ignor- ance of the law, and that the collec- tion of the fine usually works a hard- snip to the very poor, especially where written messages are made in returning coupons, tags and certifi- cates for premiums. Postmaster General Meyer has directed that pro- per notices be piaced in postoffices warning the public against «the prac- tice. STATE SWAMP LAND CONTESTS On behalf of the White Earth band f Chippewa Indians, C. E. Richard- n, their attorney, today filed a test against patenting to the state unesota large tracts of valuable s Jands, which are embraced he “black lines” of the nation- est reservation. After the forestry people tried to ue utrol of these lands, which will y be made rich farming tracts lrainage, the state of Minnesota through Auditor lverson lays claim entire tracts covering upward of 7 acres in Leech Lake, Winne- bigoshish, White Oak Point and White Earth reservation. Richard- son contends that the Indians have ownership of all swamps lands mbraced in the northern reserva- tions. Treaties and acts of congress are cited to prove His contention and ui is made that treaty of 1855, which state claims that Indians ceded these lands, is null and void. 1t is alleged that the bureau of fores» try had lands set apartas part of federal forest reserve in Minnesota and thereupon state made its claim. An issue was thus raised between the forestry bureau and the state 6f Minnesota and Mr, Richardson in- sists that the Indians were not con- sidered. He aftirms 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 luable after being drained em- ce upwards of 100,000 acr Secretary Hitchcock after a hearing granted to Attorney General Young and State Auditor Iverson, heid that the lands belonged to the state and apnroved them for patent. But since Hitcheock’s decision no action has been takea. His action was in direct opposi- tion to a 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 general swamp land grant.

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. 4 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 to be 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 distribution of literature, of newspaper annuunce- ments and of personal conference, the association has aecided to hold a great mass meeting on the state fair grounds ou Sept. 5, 1907, to aid the necessary impetus for the realization of the idea of thesemi-centennial and home-coming time for the year 1908. The old territorial association 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 pivreer literature. This fine hume of the association will of itself serve to attract a large number of the old-timers to the state fair, and they will atl participate actively in the moveweut to secure from the state fair managers co oper- ation in making the 1908 meeting of the fair a fitting semi centennial celebration. Allscld pioneers and old {settlers and persons interested, are asked to attend the grand mass meeting to be held Sept. 5, and so lend their influ- ence tocarry into opération 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 fur a 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 will 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 w 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 1n 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 frum energeti > 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 little or no trouble theré if the agitators from the outside were kept out or prevented from inciting the few idle miners to violent demonstra- tions. Sheriff Hovlihan has there- fore taken action to enforce the orders against mass meetings, parades and display of the red tlag 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 has been settled. Not beaten or, whipped or intimi- dated by strike-breakers, but realiz- ing that they could not 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 has apparently served to bring them into 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 Telfilo 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- tiva carriage toward Chisholm. They were crossing the bridge which leads to the Sellers mine, when the guard ordered them to stop. ginstead of pullingin the hurse Petriella whipped up and tried to. pass. The guard fired several shots into the air aad Petri- ella was instantly surrounded by sev- 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 undvubtedly 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 for a pacer and Sweet Marie should Jower the record fora trotting mare, the state fair will beoneof the great events in the horse world. The fair is to be held the weck of September 2 to7 and will be the largest in the history of the state.
