Lenten Regulations.

The st,bjoined diet regulations, bind

ton of Cardinal Gibbons:
First. That the use of flesh meats,
eggs and white meats be allowed at

Second. That the use of white meats

Third. That in the morning a small
piece of bread be allowed with cup
OF coffee, tea, chocolate or some SINH.

Fifth: That lard Or grease. common.

tain their proposal? His constant
claim is that he was acting soley in
in the interest Of philanthropy
when he accepted the Office Of In
dian agent; in other words, that
he came to White Earth solely to
benefit the Indians and to secure
him his rights.
Here is the manner in which he
has secured to the Indians his
rights: First, he deliberately ig-
nored the offer Of $500 per M,
(the highest offered); secondly, he
apparently exerted an influence in,
or connived at the change in Mr..
Kline's offer, thus reducing the
price still further from 1925 and
$500 to $4.85.
Heaven forbid any more such
exhibition Of philanthrophy, and
save the Indian from such a friend.
These facts betray a dicrimina-
ton, and we respectfully ask that
the Government ascertain the rea-
son for Mr.. Sheehan's attitude in
this matter. We are not arguing
the case of Darling & Co., as
against Mr.. Walker any further
than this, that is, if they or any
one else offer the highest price, to
the highest bidder the contract
should 60. If Mr.. Walker can
offer the highest price to him the
contract belongs, which in other
words means that the reservation
loggers are entitled to the highest
price their logs will bring.
No better opportunity can offer
itself than just now for an INQUIRY
into this matter, and we trust that
the Senate or House committee on
Indian affairs will make the inqui-
ny, for the Hon. gentleman who
presides over the Indian bureau
should not have his feeble powers
Of memory to severely taxed.

Whereas, the greatest need felt by

IT LOOKS ERAUD.y9

We are informed that most Of
the White Earth Indian lumber
contractors are very much dissat-
isfed with the log scale, as rem
dered by the scaler who was ap-
pointed to scale their logs, and
that they will protest against his
figures and request or employ the
duties Of another scaler to come
and re.scale their logs.
1t is claimed that the present
scaler's figures fall short at from
10000 to $4,000 feet on every
100, 900 feet of logs hauled on the
landings, as compared with the
figures Of reliable scaler who
was employed in one Of the camps
and who scaled the logs of one of
the contractors after the said COM
missioned scaler had gone over
and scaled them. This would
make the alarming difference of
300, 900 to 100000 feet on every
1000, 900 feet of lumber cut upon
the reservation this winter. and
in favor of the parties purchas-
ing the same!
It is also stated, that a certain
lumber boss interested in the
purchase of said logs, confidently
requested and instructed one of
the Indian lumbermen, not long
ago, something in thise wise:
"Look here, -, I don't want
you to kick on that scaler's fig
ures, you take whatever figures he
may give you, and say nothing;
and | can assure you that Mr.
will fix it. with ycu-he will do
anything for you! Only keep
mum" >
Well now, if that is true, (and
we have no reasons to doubt the
truth Of the report) there's some
thing rotten in Denmark, /" and an
airing is badly needed. In other
words, it looks as though the said
scaler had been sold, and that he
has been conniving in the interest
Of the parties who are to buy the
logs from the Indians
Altogether, it looks as though
an early inquiry into this matter
would be prudent step in the
right direction, so that the Indi-
ans may get what is their honest
dues, and if there is any crooked
ness in this business, let those
connected with it be made to feel
the rebuke their rascality deserves.

WHITE EARTH LOG c0NTRAczs,

/ a - o.
Now that so much is being said
relative to the nefarious pine con-
tracts in Wisconsin. it might be
well to air the methods existing
upon this reservation.
Strict investigation is being
made with the affairs Of our Wis
consin friends, and we hope With
the intention Of securing to them
the full value Of their pine, and at
the same time the right Of any one
desiring to engage in the purchase
of Indian logs under free, open
and fair competition.
What is alleged to have occur
red upon the Court Oreille. reser-
vation, is to a certain degree, 50
far as we can learn, occurring here,
and therefore the call for inquiry
on the part Of the Government in
to the following facts:
T. B. Walker Of Minneapolis,
has for many years been engaged
in numbering operations upon the
Clearwater, stream partly run
ming through the northern part of
this reservation, and which, prac-
tically speaking, is the only source
of outlet for most Of the pine
within our borders.
Mr.. Kline, who has been for
years, the general manager of Mr..
Walkers interests in this region,
about the latter part Of January,
came to White Earth in behalf of
his principal to make contracts for
such lumber as was to be cut by
permission of the Indian bureau.
It is notorious that most of the
time he was here, he spent in the
company with the agent, though
as to this, we say nothing for or
against it.
Mr.. Kline's made offer of $500
and 1925 per thousand feet deliv-
cred on the landing, and it was
fully agreed and understood that
on the basis of these prices writ
ten contracts should be drawn up.
Mr.. Kline then left for Detroit
and was followed the same day by
agent Sheehan. The latter re-
turned to the agency the follow
ing day with contracts drawn up
on the basis of $4.85 per thousand
feet on the landing, and asked the
loggers to sign these.
We presume that Mr.. Kline's
familiarity with the pine regions
enabled him to make understands
ingly the first offers of $500 and
E$5.25 per NJ, and that the change
to the lower rate could not have
been the result of a prudent
|change of mind as to the value of
the logs. Assuming then that the
change of mind on Mr.. Kline S
part was not the result of pruden-
tial considerations, we may ask,
what was the cause? We are not
experts; we do not claim to know
from personal experience whether
$4.85, $500 or $5.25 are too little
or too much. But this we do know
that $500 per thousand feet could
have been obtained, and here is
the warrant for the assertion:
Sometime previous to January
and before Mr.. Kline's appearance
as bidder, Messrs M. j. Darling &
Co., Of Crookston, wrote to agent
Sheehan making a bona.fde offer
of $500 per NJ. for this same tim

Stiffness in thus permitting the

Though years Of sorrow have left their

Upon my dearest mother.
Her lovely eyes, so true and bright,
Seem heavenly in their wondrous light,
Soft wavy hair of silver white
Ethereal loveliness- my mother.
She's everything that's pure and true.
Goodness, virtue and modesty Undue
Her gentle nature through and through,
She's my ideal-my mother.
Ever the same through years and years
OF clouds and sorrows, h~eartaches, fears,
50 little sunshine, so many tears;
Yet always the anne sweet mother.

From sin, rs she-my mother.
Lovd by all, warm friendships won;

All words are idle that ] frame,

How O French Soldiers Pussy Pre-
served Mer Masters Life.
During the Crimean war q little
cat. reared in his mothers cottage,
followed a young French soldier
when he left his native village.
The lads heart chung to this small.
dumb member of his family, and he
gave pussy a seat on his knapsack by
day On the march and q corner of his
couch at night. She took her meals
on her masters knee, and was O
general pet in the company.
On the morning that his regiment
was first ordered into action the
soldier babe his little cat farewell
and left her in charge of a sick
comrade. He had marched sbont a
mile from camp when what was his
surprise TO see Miss Puss running
beside himl He lifted her on her
usual seat and soon the engagement
commenced. Twice did the soldier
fall, but the cat clung fast hold. Al
last O severe wound stretched him
bleeding on the field.
No sooner did pussy catch sight OF
the blood flowing from her master
than she seated herself upon his
body and began to lick his wound in
the most assiduous manner. Thus
she remained for some hours, till
the surgeon came to the young lad
and had him carried off TO the tent
of the wounded. When he recovered
consciousness his first question was
"Shall / live?" Yes, my good
fellow" was the surgeons answer,
thanks to your little cat; for il she
had not used her tongue so intelli-
gently you would have been too ex-
hausted by loss Of blood to recover"
You may be sure that pussy was
we'll cared for. and contrary to all
regulations, she was allowed to ac-
company the young soldier to the
hospital, where sue was RECALLED
with the choicest morsels from his
plate and became o very dis
tinguished character. = Christian
