Fark Rapids, Mimi. May H. - The
tension over the cutting of green pine
mas become intense on the White Earth
reservation, where the Indians have de-
cloed IN councils to protect their in
'efests ny force, if necessary, and to
prevent the lumbermen from driving
the logs OH the reservation until they
are rcscaled and paid for at green nine
rates. p''o
Parties of Indians, armed with VIM
cnesters, have gone from Pine Point,
Whlte Earth and Twin Lakes on the
Whlte Earth reservation, to Round
lahe' Where the logs would enter the
outer Tail river. These parties number
III the aggregate about sixty men, who
say they want no trouble and are after
ohly their rights. They will hold the
urlVe at Round lake and prevent the
drivers from sending the logs down the
outer Tail until new scale is made.
opecla. Agent McCommas, who is at
Wn1te Earth, has requested the COM
missioner OF Indian affairs to send an
expert scaler, and this request has al
layed the anger Of the Indians for the
time being.
Inc Indians are incensed at Agent
mercer OF Leech Lake, who, it was
supposed, would look after their inter-
ests, and at the lumber companies, be-
tween whom they charge connivance
and fraude. They claim that the whole
sale cutting of fine standing green
pine was repeatedly reported to Agent
Mercer from the time it commenced in
the early winter until the camps closed
in the spring.
Another source of dissatisfaction on
the part of the Indians is the alleged
fraudulent scaling of the logs. They
claim collusion between the scalers of
the lumbermen and those of the agent.
whereby the scale fell short millions of
feet, thus defrauding them of thou
sands of dollars
The old feeling of distruct toward the
government is aggravated hy the re-
peated dispatches from Washington to
the press that only "5 per cent of the
total cut Of pine was green, whereas the
Indians estimate that at least IS per
cent was green standing pine; and that
the full confidence of the interior de-
partment was reposed in these opera
tons. They hald that this confidence
IN the face of the evidence is unwar-
ranted, and that an investiga ton, in
dependent of Agent Mercer. should be
granted.
