Washington, April 2O.-In connec-
tion with the consideration of plans
for the opening of ceded Indian lands
on the Chippewa reservations, the at
tention OF the secretary Of the inter
ior has been directed to unceded por-
tions Of the Red Lake reservation, for
the opening of which demand comes
from that section surrounding Thief
River Falls, MINI. Representative
Eddy has been in conference with Sec
retary Hitchcock on this subject and
the secretary seems to be favOrably
disposed toward the idea. The land
referred to embraces IL townships on
the Red Lake reservation. 1t is ada
cent to Thief River Falls, and while
title is vested in the Chippewas, the
secretary of the interior is authorized
in a general provision of the last In
dian bill to take steps for its cession
to the government. This provision.
Incorporated in the Indian bill on the
recommendation of Representative
Eddy, is to the effect that the secre-
tary may negotiate through an in
spector for the purchase Of unallotted
Indian lands. The townships en-
brace an area of more than 253 900
acres of desirable agricultural lands.
