The opening of the Fort Totten res
ervation is a matter of. much interest
in the northern part Of the state, and
a correspondent, writing from Devils
Lake, says:
When the lands embraced in the S
ervation were selected by the Indians,
they chose the finest in the state, as
the land is mostly heavily timbered
and that portion OF it which is prairie
Dis among the finest agricultural land
in the west and equally as good as that
of the Red river valley. The reserva-
tion extends around Devils Lake, a.
beautiful sheet of water having 800
miles of shore line, and peculiar in that
the water is salt like that of the great
Salt lake in Utah.
If Senator Hansbrough is successful
in having a large portion of the reser-
vaftion thrown open to settlement, there
will be a rush to locate claims greater
than Oklahoma witnessed in its palmy
days, as these claims are worth from
$1,000 to $500 and upward. The
s'old timers will doubtless dislike to
see the passing of the reservation,
which will eventually mean the de-
srruction of the old agency buildings
and the fort, although the latter is now
used by the government as IN Indian
industrial school for the children of
this reservation as wellsas Tor a num-
Der of Chippewa reservations in this
section of the northwest.
The surrounding country is thickly
settled by prosperous and wealthy
farmers and stockmen and the Indians
look with Jealous eyes on the encrOach-
ment of the whites upon their lands
and will make a determined effort to
retain possession of the lands they
now hold. Poor Lo, as he is today ON
the reservation, is q picturesque char
acter whose sole aim in life is to rustic
something to eat.
The Indians now on the reservation
are defendants of the Wahpeton and
Sisseton bands of Sioux, the most war;
like of the various bands of Sioux that
once roamed through the region from
which was carved the states of North
and South Dakota and Minnesota. They
are a part of that selfsame Sioux ma
tion hat struck terror to the hearts of
the early settlers of Minnesota, that
murdered many a daring gold-seekeT
on his journey to the Black Hills of
Dakota in the early ''~seventies,'' and
many an old member of the tribe still
lives on the Totten reservation and can
tell to the assembled braves around
the wigwam fire Of the battles in which
he participated. Or perchance of scenes
at the Custer massacre, and can point
with savage pride to Chippewa scalp
drying in the smoke of the wigwah
~fire-scalps lifted from the deads 5q

eryation that General Sully fought hi!
