Notwithstanding the fact that some lumbermen are complain ing of the rules governing the sale and removal of the pine from the ceded Chippewa reservation, there is every prospect that the bidding will be very spirited at the sales, which take rjlace on Dec. 2 and 28. For months the principal lum ber concerns in the country have spent thousands of dollars in securing estimates of the value of the timber to be sold. Their expert timber estimators have now completed their cruising, and as a result the officials of the United States land office at Cass Lake are in receipt of requests for blank forms of bids from many prominent lumber firms. Each firm desires several blanks, as bids are required on each seperate section. It is expected by the officials of the department of the interior that the Chippewa Indians will receive an immense sum from the coming sales. New Rule Must Be Observed. The station force at the M. & I. depot have promulgated a new rule and it is to the effect that all jags must be left on the outside before coming into the waiting room.

Both gentlemen are from Herman and Dr. Larson last winter represented the fifty seventh district, comprising Grant, Traverse and Stevens counties, in the legislature. Dr. Larson declares that southern Grant county is strong for Dunn while the northern part leans toward Eddy.

He states, however, that Dunn has a strong foothold. Dr. Larson and Mr. Ziebarth will go from here to Swan River to finish the hunt ing season. Answer to Assault. Robert McGutchegn and Geo. Finley were in justice court this afternoon on a charge of assault and battery preferred by Nels Hamrene.

Kg:ffsirgy^ Justice in Turtle River. There seems to be a systematic effort on the part of some well known residents in the town of Turtle River to clog the wheels of justice so far as the case of the state of Minnesota vs. Samuel Long is concerned. All the trouble grows out of some diffi culty experienced by the town board in building a road through the premises of John Enright and at Enright's instigation Long -was arrested on a charge of as sault and battery. Immediately following his arrest Enright who is the star witness in the case was arrested for resisting an officer. The hearing of both was set for the same day and En right was unable to appear at the hearing of Long in this city. An adjourmn ent was taken until the 23rd of this month. Then the astute authorities atBuena Vista adjourned the case against En right until the same date and thereby hung the Long matter up again. County Attorney Loud will take the matter in hand and announces that he will so pro ceed that there will be no further delays. Looking For Her Husband. A Crookston woman is in the city this afternoon looking for a wayward husband. He has been missing from home for some time and the lady is investigating a story to the effect that he is at present making his home with another woman who does not live a thousand miles from Bemidji.

The streets were gaily bedecked and enor mous crowds from the surrounding country lined the approaches to the*.* station and the entire route to the castle. The station was handsomely draped with the Italian colors. King Edward, Queen Alexandra and other members of the royal family awaited *$ the Italian sovereigns on the platform and the greetings between the hosts and guests were most cordial. The embracing and handshaking lasted some time. FAIL. TO ADOPT PROGRAMME. Democratic Senators Caucus on Canal Question. Washington, Nov. 18.Democratic members of the senate caucused from 1:30 until 5 o'clock but were unable to^ get together on a programme as to canal legislation. Foiir distinct propo sitions were submitted in the way of resolutions and many other sugges tions were made informally, but no agreement could be reached and the caucus adjourned to meet again on call of Senator Gorman, chairman. Several senators, in leaving the cau cus, 'bitterly complained of the lack of harmony which prevailed and com pared the Democratic position with the attitude of the Republicans, who^ they said, with twice as many repre sentatives, had not a straggler, while hardly two Democrats were of the same opinion. It was said later by a leading mem-,' ber of the Democratic steering com mittee that the minority party in all probability will meet the question of canal legislation without organization of any kind and will act according to its individual opinion. m.
