GOVERNMENT MAY REJECT
It Looks Askance at Mclaughlin s
Recent Agreement With the
Mile Laos Indians.

Washington, Sept. 29.-The agreement
recently made by Inspector Mclaughlin
with the Mile Laos Indians Of Minnesota
is regarded by interior department Off
Gals as remarkable instrument.
Congress appropriated $4,000 to reim-
burse the Mile Laos for improvements, it
having been decided that the band was to
be renewed to White Earth. In Nc
laughlin's agreement a large part of this
appropriation is set aside for fees. Gus
Beaulieu Is to be paid $4,000 for legal
services; Danley R. Henderson, $4,000;
Samuel Powell, $500, and D. H. Robins
and Charles II. Ruffey each $3.50. The
sum of s1S.500 is to be distributed pro
rata among the Indians.
The agreement provides that $1,000
shall be deposited in the First National
bank Of st. Paul, to be paid out as the
Indians may direct.
The officials object to this provision, and
also to the payments proposed for legal
advice and other services. From present
indications the agreement will be re-
jected.

TRAVERSE COUNTY LAND co.

The Traverse County Land company
was organized about three years ago by
o. G. Neuman and W. E.: Burton, its
present president and Secretary. PreVi-
GUS to e1nbarking in the real estate bust
ness, Mr.. Neuman had for a number of
years been engaged III the mercantile
business as the junior member of the
firm Of F. Neuman & Son. Mr.. Burton
has lived in Traverse sounty from child
hood and is a son of David Burton, presi-
dent of the First National Bank Of Whea
ton. He acted in the capacity Of assist
ant cashier and cashier of that bank for
several years. |t
About three years ago, or at the time Of
the organization of the Traverse County
Land company, it became apparent that
there would be very much increased de-
mand for the fertile lands Of Traverse
county, and these gentlemen began deal
ing in real estate, and as a result Of their
energy, hard work and fair dealing, they
now enjoy business second to none in
the west. They operate four different
offices, the home office being at Wheaton,
Mimi, with branch offices'at White Rock,
s. D., -Litchville and Darlington, N. D. ;
Any one DESTROYS Of obtaining a fine
home or good investment, would do well
to call on or write them for full particu-
lars. - o. ~
Traverse county has gained the reputa-

GROUND BEETLE AND FRUIT ATTACKED.

Professor Slingerland Of the Cornell

keep the strawberry patch and nearby
fields as free as possible from ragweed,
whose seeds are favorite food for the
beetles; also the use Of bright trap
lantern set in a pan of water and kerr
osenc. but he concludes that "a sure,
practicable. although laborious, meth
cd is to hand pick or collect the bee
ties from their hiding places during the

The pole has a hole bored through it
about three feet from the ground,
through which is inserted strong iron
bar to turn the arm of the derrick over

To be able to build these large cocks

or three sings to q sled. If this will
work, and feel sure that it will, it will
save the labor of cooking.
In ricking clover hay with a derrick
the ricks should be made long and
narrow and as high as possible. 1t
takes no more material to cover a high
rick than q low one. A rick with q
bulge requires too much cover to pro-
tect 1t. Hence the sides should be
nearly straight till necessary to draw
In for the top. With the aid Of the der
rick the only hard work necessary is
that of the trampers and stackers. 1t
needs man to set the fork, man to
revolve the derrick on its pivot and
two men on the stack. Boys can ride
the horses to haul in the hay and the
horse that works the fork.
By making runners of the lower part
of the frame this derrick can be
drawn to different parts of the field
and from one field to another over
level land without taking down the
poles.
The derrick should be put together
with bolts. so that it can be taken down
and stored in shelter when not in use
If not taken down. it makes a good
weather vane. but not an attractive
field ornament.

How to Build 1t and to Handle Hay
Successfully.

But few of the farmers in this section
who have several acres of clover or

to lend their aid in legislating for the

that the government will defray Is pei

Fly Agaric Mushroom Shown at Fair :

( The mushroom collection in the horti-

the week ends the apples are likely to be

mems of mushrooms are brought in every
day representing new varieties. Yester-

was shown for the first time and was a
beautiful specimen. This is perhaps the
commonest Of the deadly poisonous yari-
cites and one of the most attractive. It
has rather tall, slender stem rising from
a scaly bulb often buried quite deep in
the soil. The color of the specimen shown
at the fair was bright yellow, but the
range is from pale yellow to orange and
even red. while old specimens fade to
nearly white. 1t grows singly and is COM
spicuous both from its color, form and
markings. Once familiar with it there
should be no difficulty about distinguish

fully grown is several inches across and
