POST TRADER IS IT
Through Him Western Wholesalers
Get Indian Trade.
THE CHICAGO-NEW YORK FIGHT
For the Government End of the Bus
Observation-Disclosures Are
Little Interested.

Twin City wholesalers and manufactur-
ers say the fierce fight between Chicago
and New York for the Indian supplies
trade interests the northwest but little as
the government is not now providing
northwestern reds with much as COM
pared with the donations of ten years ago.
For the past ten years the government
has been gradually withdrawing it's faith
er1y support from the northwestern In
dians and persuading them to shift for
themselves. This move is now culmlnat-
ing in an effort to break up tribal rela-
lions and induce the Indians to become
farmers or stockmen For the past three
years the ration allowance has grown
much smaller This has lessened the i'm
portance of the trade in supplies with the
government as buyer.
The post trader is the big man In the
Indian trade now and twin city wholesal-
ers have beaten Chicago merchants out in
securing the best part of this trade in the
northwest, Where the government for
merly supplied the reds with goods bought
from New York wholesalers, the Indian
now buys on his own account from the
post trader. This has had the effect of
taking business away from New York and
Chicago and distributing it more evenly
among the trade centers of the country,
especially among those located near the
western reservations.

FOR FOREST RESERVES
Status of NOn-Arable Delinquent TIA
Lands Is Settled.

Attorney General Douglas has ruled in
favor of the forestry board on delinquent
tax lands held to be a part of the forestry
reserves of the state, The legislative act
creating such reserves provides that lands
sunflt for agriculture which shall have
been bid in by the state at delinquent tax
sales shall become part of the state
forestry reserves and shall be certified as
such by county commissioners to the state
forestry board.
The fact that some of this land was
fairly good pasture land was the basis OF
a contention raised by certain parties
against having tracts certified as por-
lions of the forestry reserve. The attor-
ney general decides that this contention
will not hold; that it is sufficient for the
purposes of the forestry commission thai
the county commissioners certify that the
land is unfit for agriculture.
