THE HOTEL CORRAL.


gresham made the trip Tor the purpose of
meeting some Of the Indian braves ana tell
ing them why they should make up their
minds to move over to the White Earth res
ervation early this spring. On this trip Mr..
Hall, perhaps for the purpose of getting
closerto the savage heart. secured an outfit
that bears a striking resemblance to that
worn by ex-Lieut. Gov. Gilman in his pres--
pecting trips on the Mesaba range Whether
or not this ruse was helpful. the fact remains
that the commissioner returned to St. Paul.
feeling decidedly hopeful.
THE commission, he said. sis using every
effort to induce the Mile Laos Indians
to move, and / believe that they will /
soon decide to move. They hayes
got the ioea that this move to White Earth
is simply preliminary to another one which
will take them TO the Turtle mountain resef-
yation in North Dakota A great many Of lheJ
more intelligent members OF the tribe are
ready and aDXious to go to White Earth. but
there is an organized band opposed TO its
| The members of this encouraged By peoF
pie who do not want them to go. These peo7(
pie tell them they do not need to move unless
they want to. If everybody would tell them
the truth and describe the situation as it
really Is, there would be no difficulty i'll the
matter. Those who understand the benefits
that will arise from the change are satisfied
and ready to more.''
what will be the result if the Indians do
not choose to move soon?''
We'll, no not like to say anything about
that" answered the commissioner. ''Of
course you know these Indians have no land
of their own and the settlers are comsng i'll
very fast. The Indians have always made
sugar in that country and when the seas on
for that arrives there is likely to be some
trouble, although am inclined to think that
the Indians viii not modest the settlers. But
the trouble is. the Indians are now living on
some settlers claims. They have always
been peaceful class of Indians noted for
their friendly feeling toward the whites.
Even III the outbreak of 1862 they remained
friendly, and for that reason they have been
allowed to remain on that reservation during
their good behavior. but now the settlers are
crowding them SO hard that something must
be DONE
''But the commission has the power to re-
move the Mile Laos by force, has it not?"
persisted the GLOBE man.
I'VE do not desire to exercise such author
ity, even if we have it." replied Mr.. Hall,
rather evasively THE most intelligent are
fully persuaded that they ought to go; in
fact that there IS nothing else for them to do
and my interests are all with them for their
benefit want them to go because it is the
best move they can make, and the further
fact that there is no other course left open to
them. | think that wise council will prevail
in the near future and all of the Mile Laos
will so peaeeably to White Earth We're it
not for evil advisers we would sool be able to
convince the Indians that it is best that they
go, but as things stand, it may take some
time YETI
