WODERN IN EVERY PARTICULAR Dust-Proof Cabinets for Hats, | Caps, Suits and Overcoats and There Is Shelf Room for 3,000 Pairs of Shoes. Lieberman Bros., men’s furnishers, who occupy the double store room tacing on Third street in the Mc- Alpine block and known far and wide for their fagr dealings customers, have the most attractive and thoroughly up-to-date clothing store along the | line of the Great Northern, between Duluth and Grand Forks. In fact, when all the contemplated plams are carried into effect the store will have no equal in northern Minneso- ta, Duluth included. Lieperman Bros., have stores at Grad Rapids, Coleraine, Bovey and | Marble, but the Grand Rapids stor surpasses them all in point of neat- ness and convenience From a small beginning, the business has expand- ed wutil the name Lieberman, has be- come known far and wide as the synonym for good, tair-priced wear- ing apparel. On entering the store, the customer will first notice the dust-proof cabin- along the east wall of the room, kept hats, caps, suits There are ets, in which are and overcoats. inets in all, to display hats and caps and contain 200 each.

It has a total length of 24 feet and.will be filled with a display “of ties, handkerchiefs avd other furnishings. Another case eight feet long, com- pletes the horse shoe on one side | and another case will be ordered for the other side. Another case 16 ft. long will be ordered and placed in the space directly in front of the horse shoe,with a passage way be- | tween, A four view mirror will be} ordered for the support pillar and it | will certainly be the customer’s tault fler purchasing, they are not satisfied. The shelf stand, shoe partly surrounds, shirts, underwear, and in fact, nearly everything in the furnishing line. The west wall shelving is devot- ed entirely to footwear. and some idea of the enormous stock carried can be gained from the fact there is space for 3,000 pairs of shoes. The shelves are all well filled, while the drawers below contain rubbers, over shoes and heavy footwear. The space between this shelving and the center stand is occupied by tables on which is piled wearing ap- parel of every description and the man who cannot find something to suit his fancy should be crowned “King of Grouches.” Space has also been found to dis- play suit cases and tripks and, al- which the horse is filled with togetner i is one of the most alt- tractive stores ever visited by the writer. A set of mission fixtures’ will shortly be installed in the windows for decorating purposes and they are spuething of a novelty in that the appearence can be altered once each week for a period of five years.

An opiniop, which is, the fin- al adjustification of the matter, pre- j vious to a resort of the cases to the United States supreme court, is ex- pected to be handed down late in Javuces, Tha ductsion of the circuit i court will be based upon the fivding of Special Master in Chancery F.

They declare flatly that they know nothing about any such deal, it deal there is. : The Minneapolis & Rainy River is al logging road running north from |Deer River to Big Fork, just half | way to International Falls. The ru- mors have it that the Soo has a crew at work extending the line in- to Big Falls on the Minnesota & |Internatidnal. Some of the people im the northern part of the slate jamal to believe that this mean jan extension of the Soo to Interna- tional Falls and that the Minneapo- ‘lis & Rainy River road will be ex tended south 18 miles to connect with the new Plummer-Maose Lake line. The general plan of the Soo, ac- | cordjng to the rumors, would be iw extend its net work of tracks over Minnesota, adding at least one a division to those just opened, in | cluding the Cuyuna line, Millinery Closing. Ehle & Doran announce they will close their millinery parlors on Kind- | dred avenue, for the season on Sat- urday, December 3.

THE TONNAGE TAX [JOHNSON SAYS 5 DISCOURAGED) SALOONS MUST 60 | Tells Bemidji Pioneer That Saloons Can Only Operate a Few Days Longer. RUMORED HE WILL VISIT THE RANGE Sentiment Has Changed in tie State Since Bill Was Passed By Legislature at 1969 Session. The tonnage tax bill, Vay effects liasca which vital- county will be ffom the Twin Cities is that amy proposed reopening of the agatation for a state tonnage tax on iorn ore will be discouraged by the coming report of the state tax commission. It is reported that the commission is again divided on the question of the much discussed tonnage tax, but this time two of the members are opposed to the tax nd one is in favor. Betore Chairman McVey resigned to become president of the Univer. sity of North Dakota the commission stood two in favor of the tax and one against it. Samuel Lord and Mr. McVey approved of the proposed system of taxing iron ore and O. Hall was opposed. J. G. Armson of Stillwater succeeded Mr. McVey and he takes sides with Mr. Hall im the matter. A Minneapolis paper says that if is expected chat the bill will be in-! troduced by somebody. H. O. Bjorge who submitted it at the last’ sessiox | of the legislature is no longer a mem body but it is expected / that somebody will advocate a similagy, | measure, But sentiment has changed , very materially since the tonnage; tax bill was threshed out two years ago. The bill then passed poth houses by a small margin and it | Ws not a good one and interest in t died out to a very large extent. | ; The assessed valuation of the iron mines was again raised this year which will tend to discourage an tax legislation as will the expected 'adversed report of the tax commis- | sion. The tax commission will also take a stand against a state income tax Jaw. Its report om that subject is | being prepared and will go into the giving the ex-! periences of other states and coun- ties. The commission has conclud- ed that there is no occasion at} this time to try such a revolutionary Income tax legislation has been | proposed at every recent session of | and may come up again dispite the commission’s op- The legislature will also be called upon to act on the proposed } income tax amendmont to the feder- | al constitution. This amendment has to be ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states to be car- ried, and the prospects are against it. Only eight states have approved it so far, and in most of them the opposition is on the ground that the income tak is one that the state should reserve as their own right. The effort will be made to commit the Minnesota legislature to the én- | come tax principle, either for the nation or the state. The Modern Samaritan Dance The first annual ball given unde the auspices of the Grand Rapids Modern Samaritan ledge, was one of | the social successes of the season | and about forty couple made merry} until a late hour. At twelve o'clock | a luncheon was served at the Mc- | Alpine cafe, the chief piece de resis- | tance of which was turkey, it being Thanksgiving eve. The luncheon | was well patronized and all united | in giving Chef Bilodeau all praise for fs “They permitted men the dainty manner in which it was; gotten up.

Declares He Will Stop Sale of _ Wet Goods With Least Possible Inconvenience But Saloons ; Mus: Close. In an interview with the Bemidji| Pioneer ‘“‘Pussyfoot” Johnson states the saloons ag that place will short- ly be closed. It has also been rumor- ed that seven saloons at Grand Rap- ids will be closed, but no notice to that effect has been received here. The inte:view with Johnson follows: “All of the saioons of Bemidji are to be closed, and that shortly.” This is the most significant mes. sage given out by W. E. ‘‘Pussyfoot”’ Johnson, whose power in enforcing the Indian treaty is supreme, who arrived in Bemidji at 10:30 this morning over the Soo. “You can say”, said Mr. Johnson, “and quote me as strongly as you wish, that all the saloons in Bemidji and the other towns affected by the treaty of 1855 will ibe closed.” “When will they be closed?” was asked. “ft will not aaswer further than to say that quesiiou very shortly the end of their existence is near al hand.” “It has been said that Bemidji would -be the last town to be closed.” continued the reporter. “That is news to me,” replied ™Pussyfoot.” Mr. Johnson is anything but the type of man his enemies might ex- pect to see. There are no horns | sprouting from his head and no iple artillery is strapped about his waist. Ot more than average highth and tockily built, he appears not unlike a prosperous business man. Streaks ot gray in his stubby mustache show him to be a man who has seen many years of service. He greets one cordially and there is no trace of bitterness in what he hats to say of those who oppose his work. Immediately upon his arrival in Bemidji, Mr. Johnson went to the telegraph office where a large bundl of telegrams were awaiting him These he took to his room, No. 31 at the Markham hotel, and most of tic day has been spent in writing letters and sending messages. In referring to the squad of agents working out of here under TT. BE. Brents, Mr. Johnson said: “They are busy in the vicinity of Perham today closing two smal! towns—so small in fact that I have forgotten their names.” Mr. Johnson would not say when the agents would arrive in Bemidji. Mayor Parker had a short confer- ence with Mr. Johhson at the hotel | which appeared satisfactory to both gentlemen. “J intend making the closing of Bemidji as agreeable as I can to all those involved and shall put them Away with as slight interruption in the business of the town as possible,’ said Mr. Johnson, “I have had : nice talk with your mayor and sfhall also confer with your city at- torney, Mr. Torrance.” “Will the Bemidji Brewery be forc- bed to suspend?” was asked. “J cannot give you any informatio as ta that,” was the answer. ‘Mr. Johpson commended the ef- forts of the police force to minimize the illegd! sale of liquor here but handed the city council a scorching roast. “They can’t pull off any of their 'tunny tricks with me,” said “Pussy- foot” the merry countenance fading imto one of grim deétermination. | to re-open | ‘after we had closed them up. That is the sort of thing that leads te ruin and devastation. ‘Mr. Johnson would not say just how long he would remain in Be- midji, except that “I'll be around for a while to see how things are go- ing.” “Well, there is one more question,”, you as “‘Pussyfoot?” A merry burst of laughter and a loud ‘‘not at all” was the answer.
