WASHINGTON, Special Telegram,
two or three days the president
will approve the report of the Chippewa
commission and the lands ceded under the
act OF the last congress will be thrown open
for settlement. Since the president first no
titled Senator Wash burn and Representative
.Comstock that under the act he thought it
was necessary to survey the lands and that
the Indians should take their alIotments,
both have been making an investigation
and upon presentation of the case to Sec
retary Noble showed him that there was an
abundance of land at the Red Lake reserva-
ton reserved for allotments, and that the
agreement with the Indians contemplated
that they should allot on that portion
there was no reason for Withholding
the approval of the contract Secretary
Noble informed Senator Washburn to-day
that in the new light thrown upon the SUBJ
ject the president saw there was no need of
further delay. The opposition to the open
ing OF this reservation came from the same
sources as that of past opposition. 1t is
said that 7. B. Walker of Minneapolis has
done what he could to prevent any more
Red Lake pine being placed on the market
Walker owns mills at Grand Forks and
Crookston, and owns all the available pine
tributary to the Red Lake river, which sup
plies these mills. For years the people of
this section have been working for the
opening of the Red Lake pine lands. Inthe
Forty-seyenth congress Mr.. Wasbburn in
troduced a bill similar to that under which
the agreement was made last summer,
and Walker put in the winter in Washington
working against the measure. 1t was de-
1eated, as there was strong prejudice
against Indian legislation on the cession of
Indian lands. Mr.. Nelson introduced the
bill. and after several years succeeded in
getting it through, though he always had
the Walker opposition. The last act, it
seems, was to prevent the consummation of
the contract with the Indians by the.presi-
dents refusal to approve. But as the case
has been satisfactorily explained to the sec
rotary and the president, no further opposi-
ton is expected. Reports have reached
Washington since the president first with
held his approval that Walker claimed to
have n defeated the treaty by finding the de-
feet in the bill.
