Dr.. A. M. Halves, who has been
employed as agency physician at
Red Lake, and who left that post
two weeks ago, was subject to q
medical examination at Detroit

There has been much discussion
Of late, on this reservation, rela-
tive to the Nelson bill..'' There
seems to be unanimity Of feeling
against some Of It's provisions.
viz:
The insufdciency Of land as
proposed to be allotted to each in
dividual,
The common fund plan,
The unreasonable restrictions
as proposed regarding the allot-
ment of land to agricultural lands
only, etc.
We would suggest that meet
ing, to discuss these questions, be
called at an early day, IN order
that thorough understanding Of
the desires Of the people living on
this reservation may become
known regarding these matters,
SO that the representatives of the
tribe may be better prepared to
convey. to the Commission ap-
pointed to negotiate with the
Chippewas, any modification Of
the bill as will best meet the ap-
proYal Of the tribe.

Getting Experience.


We learn that an Eastern gen
tleman spent a whole hour and a
half, one day this week, ruminat-
ing on the Indian question, and
making notes Of observations de-
rived from the hotel window. No
doubt he's got the question down
fine. That's about the length and
breath Of the average Indian off
calls knowledge Of Indians andsot
Indian management, previous to
their appointment to such posi-
tions. And they generally turn
their backs on the reservation
more sanguine Of a higher civil.
cation, as far as they are con
cerned, than when they first enter
it.

VIII Be 4 Grand Occasion.

Capt. William r. Roberts, the
grizzled and scar-seared hero Of
many battles, and Commander Of
the Park Region Association, G.
A. r., and which will hold its En-
campment at Detroit City on June
26th, 9th, 28th, and Doth, was up
here on Wednesday, making ar
rangements Of matters, ETC., in
connection with the coming En-
campment. The Capt. assures us
that no pains or expense will be.
spared by the several committees
or the loyal people Of Detroit City,
in making this THE occasion Of the
season, and one Of the finest and
pleasantest entertainments ever
rendered by the saviors of the
"bonny blue and the Union in
this or any other State. Among
the features Of the occasion may
be mentioned, excursions on the
elegant new steamers, just COM
pleted, on and about the crystal
waters Of famous Detroit Lake,
the charm and transcendent mag
nifcense Of whose scenery ever
breathes the pleasing incense of
grandure and beauty, and, said to
rival the famed oriental glories OF
the Bosphorous. Arrangements
have been made whereby q com
plete Indian village will be repre-
sented, including band Of braves,
who have been engaged for this
special occasion, who will appear
in all the fantastic toggery, paint
and coloring of barbaric splendor,
and, each day, during the En-
campment, they will perform the
several dances peculiar to the ira
ditional customs of their race. A
brand new az pounder) cannon
has also been secured, whose sig
nifcant signal will add enchant.
-, - s
ment to the occasion and the in
toxicant Of it's reyerbration will
serve to awaken anew the chival-
rous valor, born at Liberty's bid
ding when her appealing cry rang
throughout this fair land stimuli
taneous with the echo Of the
merciless guns that doomed treach-
cry and treason Ger Sumpter on
the fated Friday morning of April
18th, 1861, A valor that cheered
the st-begrimmed heros on their
many long and weary marches, to
Withstand the privation of want
and hunger and excruciating ago
ny when shattered by shot or
shell. A valor that shone tran
scendent when the final triumph
of the "bonny blue was heralded,
by the white-winged messengers
of love and peace, from meath the
grateful shades Of Appomattox' 5
appletree to the hearth of every
home of country, saved and re-
deemed.

GONE LyP IN SMOKE!


The Agency FIGURING Mil, wiith its
Fine Plant, Almost New, and for
the past feW years, abandoned
and Neglected, is 5wept away By
Fire.
On Sunday afternoon, the 10Th
inst, intelligence reached us that
the Government Touring mill with
its fine plant, and which did ex-
cellant service for about FIVE years,
had been consumed by fire. On
ma king further inquiry we learned
that the mill had burned down
some two weeks previous, yet no
one about the agency seemed to
know anything about the matter.
IN it was reported here by some
of our people who, accidently,
passed near the site while out
hunting. Had It not been for this
accidenal discovery the matter
-, 9e,s-5 y & s il &
would, undoubtedly, have remain
ed obscured until T. j. Sheehan,
himself, would have gone there to
turn that portion Of the agency
Indian property over to his sue
cessor, Capt. B. P. Shuler.
The mill was built during C. a.
Ruffee's administration, and at a
cost, including the dam and build
.ings connected thereto, of some
$4,000, It did splendid service for
about five years when the dam
was partially washed away. Fifty
or a hundred dollars could have
repaired the damages. The troub-
lie was neglected. The action OF
the water rushing through the gap
IN the dam soon undermined the
foundation which caused the mill
to sag. At this juncture some
parties offered to repair all dxmag-
es and set the mill in running or
der at a cost of about $500, but
this advantage was unheeded and
the mill suffered to become the
prey Of neglect. For a time one
Of the nominal police force, of the
agency, was dispatched to keep
watch over the mill, but this pre-
caution, too, was abandoned some
four years ago. We learn that,
sometimes. during the past four
years, an Inspector from the In
dian bureau, one summer day,
when the sun, flies and musqui-
toes were, alike, fierce and red
hot, started from the agency to go
and Investigate and report the
condition of the mill.'' When
about half Of the distance, between
the agency and the mill had been
traversed, and when the sun shone
the hottest and mosquitoes were
yiciously thirsting for gore, the
Inspector, from whose intellectu-
al brow the price Of his daily bread
was oozing and trickling in mimi
ture streams furrowed mid the
grim dust overspreading his mo-
bile countenance, concluded that
that mill should be condemned,
and it was, there and then, voted
that the mill was worthless and
unfit for use. After the conclu-
sion Of this solemn declaration the
party returned to the agency. and
from this time out, until its de-
struction, the mill has been totally
abandoned and neglected. Not.
withstanding the fact that The
people have repeatedly remonstra.
ted against this wonton uncon.

the timbered lands adjacent to

worthy a trial.
