IN TIMES PAST
AMOUNT CUT AT LEECH LAKE
Practice in This State Which
Watchfuln ess and Expense Can
not Seem to Prevent-State Suf-

Railroads and a Few OF the Larx-

Millions of feet of white pine timber,
cut In Minnesota every year by parties
VINO have no right to the pine. A prom
inent lumberman of this city Is authority
for the statement that more illegally cut
logs will be placed on the market this
season than for some years past
The state, railroad compa MES, and large
corporations who own vast interests in
Minnesota pine have from time to time
taken measures to protect themselves
against loss from this course, but despite
the vigilance of a small army of cruisers
who are in the employ of these compa-
MES, the depredations continue every sea-
son.
The G o e authority further says
that the watchfulness of the state and
corporations was so close during 1896 and
1897 that many of those engaged in the
Illicit practice were driven onto the Leech
Lake reservation, and were primarily the
cause of all the trouble last fall The
pirates" as a certain class are termed
by lumbermen, became so bold In cutting
reservation timber that the Indians re-
belled and frequently protested to the
agency officials. Last fall preparations
were made to make another inroad upon
the reservation pine, but before opera
tions could be commenced the thieves
were frightened away, and as a natural
result the corporations and individuals
owning pine in Itasca, Cass and Beltrami
counties and vicinity

According to the returns made to the

the Leech Lake reservation last year. It
has been claimed that more than this

amount The G O b g S authority says
the Indians received pay for part, and
part they did not. The parties buying
the pine would cut over several forties to
get to few acres Of dead and down."
All sorts Of other subterfuges were re-
sorted to, 1t has been alleged, to defraud
the Indians.
The government estimators made low
estimates. A strip was bought 70 r a

GEORGE SMITH DEAD.
Passed Away as a Result of BoWe
Trouble Last Thursday.

George Smith of Orondo, Wash
ington, brother of Mayor William
Smith and Of Miss Belle Smith of
this city, passed away at the home
of the latter about 4:3O o'clock last
Thursday afternoon. Bowel trouble
was the cause of death. Mr.. Smith
was 60 years old at the time of his
death.
Mr.. Smith arrived here from
Orondo on Aug. 9th. He was not
feeling well, Immediately upon his
arrival, and was obliged to take to
his bed. He refused to see a physi-
clan, and his trouble grew contin-
ually worse. It was early last week
that it developed very plainly into
bowel trouble and Mr.. Smith re-
quired the constant attention of a
nurse from that time up to the hour
of his death.
Mr.. Smith was born in London.
Ontario, in 1889, he being one of
five brothers. He moved with his
parents to Minnesota in 1855. and
in 1868, Mr.. Smith came to Redwood
county, and was one of the first
settlers in the county, his farm be-
ing what is known as the Deike
farm, west of this city. He lived
in Redwood county up to Is years
ago, when he went to Oronto, Wash
ington, where he purchased farm
and engaged in mercantile business
and conducted the postoffice. He
sold out the store to John Mcmillan,
a brother of Thos. Mcmillan of the
Soldiers Home some time ago, and
took up the work of running a fruit
ranch. which he carried on success
fully, but which he disposed of just
before coming to Redwood Falls,
intending to remain here with his
brothers for an indefinite period.
The funeral occurred from the
residence of his sister at 3 o'clock
Saturday afternoon.
