MISSOURI PACIFIC
Alleged to be a Partner With Rock
Island In choctaw Deal.

1t is claimed by some eastern
financial papers that the Missouri
Pacific road is a partner of the
Rock Island in the recent purchase
of the Choctaw line. The statement
is made that the two lines will
own and use the Choctaw jointly.
The Choctaw is so situated that
it would be of immense value to
either of the roads mentioned, ,'and
while it has been stated positively
by the Rock Island officials that
the Choctaw has been purchased
by the Rock Island, it is possible
that the Missouri Pacific is acting
in the deal sub rosa.

commission fastened to a conclus-
ion and other inf uences that are
working in the support of the
policy of the administration will
result in giving new life TO this
ommission and causing it to com
plete the work, which has been
dragging for several years. Every
influence of the men most interest
ed in the disposition of the Indian
question is now directed to secur-
ing the conclusion of this work
and the final allotment of the
lands of the FIVE civilized tribes
not later than July 1, 1904.
The second feature in import
ance is the settlement of the leas-
ing problem, and this will be a
mooted question in the conference
committee. The promotion com
panies and land syndicates that
have been busily engaged in secur-
ing nominal control of the Indian
lands are on hand with a lobby
opposing the leasing provisions
that have been embodied in the
appropriation bill.
These provide that no leases
made without the approval of the
secretary of the interior shall be
considered valid. The companies
ia question have secured leases
upon nea,ly 100000 acres Of land
in the best sections OF the Indian
territory, aud will make stub
born fight against losing their hold
on prospective fortunes.
The provisions of the bill franz
ed by the secretary of the interior
is designed to prevent the Indians
from being robbed and to protect
them in their homestead rights.
Another provision prevents ex.
cess holdings in the territory by
Indians or whites, and these will
probably be approved about as
recommended by Mr.. Hitchcock.
The mineral leasing provisions
have also been drawn for the pro-
lection of the rights of the Indians
and will probably be approved, al
though there is opposition to them
The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1902-04-22

from minin & syndicates and those
who seek to secure control of val
liable mineral properties on the
Indian reservations.
II the bill is passed as now franz
ed, the result will be the speedy
allotment of the Indian lands.
This will throw several millions
of acres of fine lands in the Indian
territory, the surplus above the
Indian allotments, open to sale
and for settlement. Mr.. Hitch
cock believes that this action,
which he strongly urges. will
cause the rapid settlement of the
surplus lands by fine class of
farmers and sc place the territory
in position for development and
government.
If the legislation now pending
is adopted, and chances are that it
will be, the way will be paved for
the final individualizing of the In
dian trust funds, the allotment of
their lands and the with dra wal of
government support and guardian
ship. 1t will place the Indians as
specially as possible upon an
equality with other citizens of the
country and compel them to de-
pend upon their own exerlions for
support.

MILE Laos LAKE

Located in the northern part of Mile
Laos county is the southern half of
Mile Laos lake, one of the most beauti-
full and picturesque of all the Mime
sofa lakes. Mile Laos lake has for
long years been the abiding place of
the Ojibways or Chippewas, who came
into possession of this land in 1850,
when they came down from the region
of Lake Superior and gave battle to the
Sioux Indians, who for long time in
habited that part of the country, and
who had built the great Indian village
of Kathio. Prof Winchell says that
Kathio must have been the central set
tlement of the Sioux Indians, the seat
of empire from which they radiated in
all directions. 1t is said that at the
time Radisson visited Kathio (1650,
the Indians must have numbered fully
7,ooo Du Luth came down from ST.
perior in 1879, on the old Indian trail
and the streams and portages then trav-
eled by the red men, and the following
year Father Hennepin in company with
two French explorers or missionaries
fell in with the Indians and went to
Mile Laos lake, Father Hennepin be-
ing made captive for a time at the
lake.
The Ojibways proved themselves
very friendly to the whites of this part
of Minnesota, and to the early settlers
of the state during the Civil War, when
the Sioux Indians wanted the Ojib-
ways to join them in massacreing the
Whites The Ojibways remained faith
full and did not modest the white set

Mile Laos lake. Well has the country
been named ''the land of the big red
clover" for in this section clover is
king and grasses grow in great profu-
sion. It is a stockman's paradise, and
already there are many ranches and
small stock farms located tributary to
the lake. A railroad is needed to de-
velop the country, but it is sure to
come inside of a very few years, and
there would be no surprise to see a
railroad into the Mile Laos lake coun-
try inside the next two years.
There are several trading points and
settlements at the lake that are grow
ing gradually and as the country de-
ve1ops will prove to be lively settle
ments. Lawrence on the southeast side
of the lake, Cove on the south shore,
and Onamia located south of the out
let few miles on Rum river, will all
develop into good points, while on the
west side of the lake there is Vineland
and Garrison and the new town of Mid
land that will be started in short time
Onamia has grown very rapidly the
past year, and with the Cundy & Nc
Clure mill at that place as the central
industry, has given the place quite an
impetus.
Land sales around the lake the past
year have been heavy Early in the
season large party of Iowa and
southern Minnesota farmers went in a
body to the lake and we're shown the
country in that section. A large num-
Der of those who looked over the
country bought land at prices varying
from So to $12 per acre, according to
location. The sales of land the past
year in the lake district have amounted
to over eighty thousand acres. Much
of the land bought is for actual settle
ment, and settlers are going in and
clearing up the land and making new
homes for themselves. These lands are
bound to enhance in value rapidly, and
the value of much of the land in that
section has doubled in the last two
years. Those who invest in land in the
Mile Laos lake region at the present
time cannot fail to realize handsome
profit on the investment. The soil is
rich and has a fertility that is perma-
nent. There is lots of good timber,
most of which will bring the investor
good prices when it is put on the mar
ket. Good soil and plenty of good tim
Der will prove valuable assets for the
settlers who get in on the ground floor
around Mile Laos lake.

offered fine site for lumber mill to
utilize the vast amount of pine that
grew tributary to Rum river, on which
river Milaca is located The lumber
industry has been the backbone of Mi
laca ever since the place was started.
The Mile Laos Lumber Co. built the
first saw mill and operated it for some
time, when it was afterwards bought
by the Foley-Bean Lumber Co., that
succeeded to the lumber business of
the Mile Laos Lumber Co. The Foley
Bean company erected one of the finest
saw mills in the state at this point.
The company employs while the mill
is running over three hundred men and
its pay roll amounts to over $4,000
monthly. In April, 1901, the mill was
destroyed by fire, but the company
Immediately set to work to rebuild it
and the new mill was started up in All
gust of the same year. The past sea-
sons run of the mill has been the best
in the history of the plant. Since start
ing up last spring the mill has been
operated steadily for thirty-two weeks,
or total of 3,3o9H hours, the longest
continuous run in the history of the
mill. The complete cut in lumber,
lath and shingles during the season is
as follows: Lumber, 4o,764,3oo lath,
1o,263,25o; shingles, 19,91425o. The
lumber cut made is larger than that of
any other two-band mill in the state.
The mill is equipped with a double
edger and trimmer, with two single
block single machines and one lath
machine and bolter. Manager M. K.
Rudd and Superintendent c. W.
Weeks certainly should be proud of the
record made by this mill. Rum river
pine has reputation in the lumber
markets of the country of being the
soundest and best pine that grows, and
the Foley-Bean company has an extern
sive lumber trade all over the country.

so long as they did not modest the
whites, but the march of empire made
sad inroads on the reservation of the
faithful Chippewas, and as the country
began to be opened up and the lumber
man spotted the vast tract of beautiful
pine the Indian had hard time of it
to hold on to what Uncle Sam said he
might have. The government finally
stipulated with the Mile Laos band of
Indians for their removal to White
Earth reservation in northern Mime
sofa, and many of the Indians went,
but many refused to go, and it was not
until last August that the government
succeeded in making final treaty with

picture about Mile Laos lake. When
the ice cap started to recede by grad
ual melting it must have made an awful
noise and caused great change in the
surface of the country about the lake.
The island of solid rock known as Spir-
it island that stands out in the lake is
the outcropping of vast ledge that
runs through this district. The Ar
chean rocks that underlie the site of
Kathio have ratio to the surface drift
OF 10000 to l., so say the biologists.
But whatever the process of nature
that converted the land about Mile
Laos lake into its present condition, the
result has been that it has made of that
section beautiful and fertile country

stantly improving the place. While the
lumber industry is the back bone of
the place, it must be remembered that
with the settlement of the country
tributary to Milaca the trade with the
farmers is fast getting to be an item of
no small Importance, and there are
several large general stores and good
representation of all leading CONNER
cial interests that are enjoying rap
idly growing trade. The village does
large trade with the lake country,

VILLAGE OF MIIACA.
Princeton's Lively Neighbor--Its Lum-
Der Industry--Commercial Growth of
the Village and Its Future Prospects.

The second town of Importance in
the county of Mile Laos is the village
of Milaca, located fifteen miles north
of Princeton. Milaca is not as old
town as Princeton and was started at
the time the St. Cloud and TIinckley
branch of the Great Northern road was
built, which was about twenty-one
years ago. At that time the country
around and tributary to Milaca was
in wild and unsubdued state. Much
OF it was covered with pine. The place

Cove and Lawrence. The lake road is
turnpiked as far as Page, and in an
other year the balance of the road will
be put in the best of condition for
travel. There are lots of heavy freight
ing over this road by parties who make
Milaca headquarters for traffic.
The village is equipped with fine
electric light and water plant and also
has good system of sewers. The
pride of the place is it's beautiful new
$4,000 public school that was COM
pleted last year. The citizens of Mi
laca may we'll point with pride to this
handsome seat of common school edu-
cation. 1t is indeed a real temple of
learning. The citizens of Milaca had
to fight hard for this valuable institu-
ton, but they succeeded, and future
generations will have cause to be very
grateful to the loyal and public-spirit-
ed men who were instrumental in hav-
ing the school erected. The school has
a corps of eight teachers. Prof. A. P.
Richie is superintendent. He is
graduate of the Chicago University and
is most efficient and capable instruc-
tor. At present the school has first
and second year high school course,
and the school board hopes in another
year to get the school on the regular
high school list. There are 382 pupils
in the public school OF Milaca, which
speaks we'll for place of it's size.
Religious denominations are repre-
scented by an English Methodist
church, Norwegian Lutheran church,
while the Swedish population have
Lutheran, Methodist and Free Metho-
dist church. In civic orders there is
lodge of Masons, Knights of Pythias,
I. o. o. F., Modern Woodmen, etc.
The business men of the village have
taken steps to organize a commercial
club, and intend to see that no stones
are left unturned to make the place
prosperous. During the past five years
the business of the place has more than
doubled, and the last three years has
witnessed very gratifying growth in
the commercial business of Milaca.
Milaca certainly has a bright future
before it. The lumber mill is an as
sured thing for quite while to come,
and the country being new and afford
ing room for many settlers, the out
look for prosperous future for the
place is certainly good.
