Ashland, Wis, Feb. San important
council of Indians from the dlfferent
tribes in the Northwest was held at
Odanah today A number of the Indians
at Odanah are putting in their own I'M M
Der for the mill company and they get
81 stumpage for the pine and 30 TOT
putting it in the river. which is nearly
double what people of the reservatio
are getting for the same class Of lumber.
The Indians are talking of selling about
100000 feet of tribal pine and using
the money to build bridge across Bad
river, build roads and sink wells. Some
of the chiefs and full-blooded Indians are
opposed to this, but the business is Done
through educated mixed bloods who nave
come to the reservation and taken allot,,
ments lately. No liquor is now allowed
on the reservation. 1t is now a prohlbl-
ton town. The Indians save their mon
ey and buy good clothing and food; IN
fact affairs have never before been SO
prosperous in the La Pointe agency.

MANY ACCIDENTS TO LOGGERS.
The Intense Cold Weather Makes Log
oinG More paEGerous.

Marshfield Wis, Feb. 9.-Ths is not
the kind Of weather for good logging and
there has rot been the work accomplished
the past two weeks as was done the two
weeks previous. 1t was too cold to even
make ice roads which is preferable to
SHOW in intensely cold weather. The cod
weather of the past two weeks has alb
serbed all the dampness in the snow,
making it impossible to haul heavy loads.
MANY loggcrs have increased their num-
Der of teams and hope in this way to get
their logs to the landing before the season
closes. The number Of cases of accidents
has also increased on this account, and
scarcely day passes but some woodsman
is taken to the hospital with broken legs,
arms or killed outright The timber is
full of frost and when a tree is felled the
air is filled with flying limbs and broken
trees and it takes an experienced woods
man to escape the dangers at such times.
THE kind of weather asked for by the
logger is cold nights with just enough sun
during the day to put moisture in the
