EXECUTIVE CONTAMINATION.
The following communication was re-
ceived from his excellency the governor:
ST. PAUL, Feb. 81, '83-Hon. G. A. Gill
man, Lieutenant Governor, Sir: Ideem it
my duty to call the attention of the legis-
lature to Indian affairs in the northern
portion of the state. The Chippewas in
terested in the reservations at Lake Winnie
bagoshish and Leech lake, have manifested
much discomfort at the proceedings of the
government in constructing dams and
reservoirs at those points, without previ-
ously making remuneration for the pros
pective dana 20, and obtaining the con-
sent of the Indians.
A representation of these facts by some
of our leading citizens acquainted with
them, Induced the honorable secretary of
the interior to appoint commission to
estimate the amount of damage, and re-
port to the department. This was done,
but the bands interested looked upon ths
| award as inadequate, and refused to accept
it. l learn that another commission, com
posed of Messrs. Sibley and Marshall, of
st. Paul, ana Gil6llan, of White Earth has
lately been appointed to re-estimate the
damages sustained by the Indians, and re-
port the same, and that they Will enter
upon their duties as soon as the severity
of tbs season and the condition of the
country will permit.
There are, however, other unsettled ques-
tions between the government and the
Chippewa band, growing out of the former
treaties, which are source of irritation,
and call for speedy adjustment. 1t is of
great moment to this state that all just
causes of complaint should be removed as
soon ss practicable. While the Chippswas
are friendly, and disposed to accept what
thsy deem to be just and reasonable terms
