HOW THE INDIANS ARE
SWINDLED.


The Ct. Paul Dispatch exposes one of
the largest pine-land swindles ever devcl-
oped. 1t consists in the sale Of all the
timber lands on the Leech Lake Indian
Reservation, in North Minnesota, for
Sl.50 per 1000 stumpage. This sale was
made last November by Z. p. Smith, pres
ent commissioner of Indian ahairs, who
was agent for the Chippewas of Mime
sofa. A. ii. Wilder, of this city, who
represents the pine-land ring WAS the
purchaser. The Dispatch publishes the
contract in full between Smith and
Wilder, which WAS made in Washington,
ID. &. The contract gives Will
der all the timber that does not measure
IA inches in diameter 20 feet above the
ground without any charge whatever. lie
is to pay 81 10 per thousand for all over
IA inches in diameter.
The extent of this swindle can be par
TALLY realized when il is understood that
Minnesota lumbermen pay from 81 80 to
81 90 per 1000 for lumber which meas
ures II inches in diameter "a feet from
the ground. The contract intmates that
there are 200,000000 feet on the reserva-
ton. There is probably more. but if this
is all it could be sold to day for Si00, 900
advance on Wilders contract.
The Indians were not consulted, and
when they learned during the Summer
that their timber had been sold, they were
so enraged that the agent called on the
commander at Fort Ripley for troops to
| prevent an outbreak. The Indians are in
a terrible state, being almost naked and
many must stsrve and freeze TO death ia,
coming winter unless something is don,
for them.
