In voting against the .notlon TO suspend
the rules and place the hat ordinance
on its final passage Thursday night.
Councilman Brix did not necessarily Sig
nifty his intention OF opposing the mea-
sure. Unanimous consent OF all the
members OF the coIncil Is necessary to
suspension Of the rules. and Mr.. Brix
voted in the negative because, as he ex-
plained az the time. he thought the
measure should not be rushed through.
He said he believed the ordinance a good
one. and there Is no doubt that he will
vote for Il when II comes up at the next
session. Alderman Fulton thought Mr..
Brix had presented his wife with a new
hat but the gentleman from the Third
ward assured the council that his OBJ
lection was not due TO this reason. Mr.
Hansen. father OF the measure. Is a
single man. and It Is said Of him that he
has no consideration for his married
brothers In the council. He blames Il
all on Manager Seiig. OF Fishers. who
he says. requested the Introduction Of

washington, Dec. 10. - Specldl
Agents Parke and SchwartZe, of the
general land office, who have been in
vestigating the logging of the dead
and down timber on the coded lands OF
the Chippewa reservation in Mime
sofa, have made their report to Com
missioner Hermann. They say the
charge that the logging operations on
the Leech Lake reservation were
largely the cause of the Indian out
break fails of confirmation, and. that
the cause Of the war originated fully
forty years ago. 1t is well known,
they say, that the war was used by
influential lumbermen, disappointed
applicants for logging permits, and
half-breed disturbers to befog the STU
alton, and say the real trouble was the
unfulfilled promises, violated treaties
and mismanagement. The agents
found no instance of the Indians be-
ing unfairly treated or refused work;
that 80 per cent OF the loggers were
Indians, they recei ing 81 day while
.he whites got only : is a month; that
at the last settlement 81 per cent. or
their labor bill was paid, and more
will be, and that the $4,000 and up
ward earned by these Indian laborers
last winter is worth more to them, the
tribe and the government than the
value of all the logs cut. The foreInen
complain that the Indian labor is un-
satisfactory. The agents report that
in many eases the Indian receive re-
ward for the use of their names to Sc
cure legitimate permits, suggest that
this leaves the
Door Open for Fraud
| and recommend placing government
inspector to control the labor and sup
ply charges and proper rules. The re-
port says that the full-bloods who have
| adopted civilized ways and are practl-
! cally half breeds are satisfied with the
! present timber system, and, If not in
| terfered with four-fifths Of the Indians
! are stated to favor logging this season.
which the agents recommend. The
! agents, however, say that many full
! bloods, emboldened by the result of the
recent outbreak, say there will be no
logging. At Leech lake Chief Red
Blood threatens to remove all outfits
from the reservation, and If the log
gers commence operations the Indians
will follow suit At the White Earth
! reservation InleI Day -hc-Ho-NdSH Ia
making similar threats concerning
that reserve. He claims there is a
compact between the White Earth.
Leech Lake, Cass Lake and Red Lake
Indians to prevent logging. Two In
dams came to notify the agents that
logging operations on the Red Lake re-
serve will be stopped if attempted this
winter. They are likely TO cause
trouble, according TO the agents, IL
they are not made to realize that the
close of the recent war with them was
not brought about drought any fears
of the government.
