PROTEST NEVER SIGNED.
Has the Appearance Of an Whole
sale Forgery
WHO PUT UP EXPENSE MONEY!

Washington, June 24,--It Is now
well understood in Washington how
the signatures were secured TO the
memorial which Delos Lone Wolf
brought here, Delos, who was n farm-
er on the reservation ut $50 month,
left for Washington without permits
sion OF the agent, to accompany his
uncle, Lone Wolf, on his expedition in
search OF n method Of holding up the
opening, He wns promptly reported
TO headquarters and discharged.
The Indians found themselves with
out tho least authority on their arrival
here and Delos was sent back TO tho
reservation TO secure authority to hire
n lawyer or at least TO bring suit. lie
called on Agent Randlett to summon
council. Randlett complied, but less
than 100 Indians responded. Some
Fifty or sixty was the number who
appeared; but among them the chiefs
were conspicuous by their absence,
The agent informed the Indians that
they were at liberty to go ahead with
tho protest, but they must sign the
memorial in his presence, to enable
him to certify to the department under
his instructions that the signatures
were genuine. Not an Indian signed,
and che council adjourned for that
day, to meet again the next The In
diOns did not return, however, and the
agent was ignorant of what had taken
place until II was announced that 45O,
the necessary thrce-fourths had signed
the memorial There is nothing on
record to show that the names are not
forgeres and the delegation here has
no standing in law. What is puzzling
the department officials Is the question
who supplied the large delegation with
money to travel to Washington and the
fee wherewith to hire attorneys,

Americans seem TO think we are

CANADA rs TOO SLOW.

A representative of the Canadian I'M
migration Bureau who attended the
land lottery at Ell Reno, Oklahoma
with view to enlisting the disappoint-
ed ones in a quest for cheap farming
lands in Canada is said to have failed
utterly in his purpose. He was over
whelmed by the tremendous size of the
multitude, the like of which was never
seen in Canada.
The Colonial Office in London has
for some time been trying to get 10000
laborers for the wheat harvest in Can
ada The wages offered were $3.50
weel: with board, the laborer to pay
his passage The harvest will last only
ten weeks, while the fare across the
ocean is about $40 Yet the Canadian
government can't understand why its
offer has been made in vain. True, the
Dominion government offered laborers
grants of land on which they could
settle, but that was no attraction since
the s25 the immigrant was to receive
for his work would still fall short Of
the $40 he would have TO pay for his
passage, which left his means of exist
ence until next harvest rather uncer-
tain.
A western contemporary points ont
that Kansas farmers were glad to pay
harvest hands $3.50 day during the
season this year. They were glad to
get laborers at any price.
II is no wonder that Canada fails to
attract farm laborers from the United
States where they are getting at least
seven times better wages than she Of
fers.
The Canadian government is slow
and must strike faster gait before it
can hope to attract farmers from the
United States even to the immense
wheat fields of Manitoba

Special to the Register.
WASHINGTON, d. c., August 10
Senator Scott, of West Virginia, was at

Warden Haddox, of the Moundsville,
West Virginia State prison. Warden
Haddox came here to ascertain what
the department intends to do about the
disposition of district prisoners. who
are sent to the West Virginia peniten-
tiary The erection of the large leder-
al prison at Atlanta was for the pur-
pose of relieving the government as
much as possible of the cost of main
tanning federal prisoners in State pris-
on, but it is not known that the new
prison will be able to accommodate
all the prisoners now confined in the
various institutions. The l.ioundsville
authorities want to find out If the dis
trict convicts are to be taken away and
sent to Atlanta.
Major Strong, who has charge of that
kind of work for the Department OF
Justice, was not at his Office to-day, be-
ing at home i'll and Warden Haddox
could not find out anything. 1t is I'M
derstood that no definite decision on
the question has yet been reached.
