The Real Complaint.

but neither does this by itself explair
the outbreak. When a delegation Of Chip
pewas visited Washington last winter,
their most bitter complaint was about in.
justice in the use of their funds, and frauds
in the disposition of their timber. Without
going into details. ii is sufficient to say thai
in 1889 the Chippewas were with difficulty
induced to cede TO the United States large
tracts of valuable pine lands on the repre-
sentation that the sale of the pine would
bring them in fund Of several million dol
lars. AS is always the case, many Indians
were utterly opposed TO the negotiations.
"A commission was appointed to make
allotments on ceded and reservation lands
and to secure removals to White Earth
of those who were willing to go there Es-
timators were appointed to appraise the
Chippewa pine The expense of both is
charged to the fund OF the Indians. The ex-
pense of the commission up to date has not
been less than 5000 600, most OF II in salaries.
The work of the estimators proved worth
less. and a second set Of estimators was APP
pointed. with no better results, and a third
set of men was assigned TO the work. UI
to date about s2SO,000 has been charged TO
the Indians for estimating. Meantime
large tracts OF pine. which had been esti
mated at from one-fourth to one-half their
value, were sold. and that loss also fell
upon the Indians. Again under authority
TO dispose of dead and down timber, con-
tractors have cut large quantities OF greer

indications that considerable timber was
