FOREST RESERVATION ON
CHIPPEWA TRACT.
Secretary Hitchcock Approves Setting Aside
200, 900 Minnesota Acres.

Washington, d. c., April 23,-The
secretary of the interior today ap-
proved the plans made by the forester
of the agricultural department under
the Morris act providing for the crea-
tion Of forest reservation of 100000
acres in the Chippewa Indian reserva-
tion in Minnesota.
The plans presented set aside GER
tain area in the vicinity of Lake Win
nebegoshish and open to settlement
all the reservation outside the limits
of that area The timber on the for
est reserve land is to be sold for the
benefit of the Indians.-St, Paul
Globe.
Yes! And for this land which,
under the law of 1889, and the
agreement between the United
States and the Chippewas of Min
nesota, the government agreed to
sell for one dollar and twenty five
cents per acre for the benefit of
the Chippewas, not one cent will
be received, and the Indians will

WANT MAJOR. SCOTT.
He Was Their Agent Before and They
Know Him.

Ina recent communication from
Charles ID. Armstrong, an influen-
tial and progressive member OF
the Wisconsin bands of Chippewa
Indians, tothe publisher of the To-
MAHAwK, in referance to the fight
now being made against Maj. Scott,
he states that the Indians under the
charge of the Ashland Indian
Agency, in Wisconsin, have been
contemplating petitioning to the
government for the return of the
Major to that agency, where he
formerly acted as agent, if those
who are trying to secure his re-
moval from Leech Lake are sue
cessful.
This speaks well for the conf
dence and esteem in which Major
Scott is held by the Indians where
ever he has been as Indian agent,
and whatever may be the the out
come of the fight against him now
he will still retain their confidence
and friendship. If he is removed,
however, from Leech Lake, the
Indians there will undoubtedly
feel that the administration has no
use for any Indian agent who tries
to do his duty in the protection of
the interests of the helpless people
under his charge, and these senti-
ments will be shared by all the
Indians on the several reservations
in this state.

A Good THING.
Such is the Home fd the Aged

One of the institutions on this
reservation, which seems to have
become a permanent thing, is the
home for the aged Indians of this
reservation
The large building on the hill,
formerly used as a school house
and afterwards as the agents office,
but which has been idled for \
number Of years, has been through
ly remodeled and converted into u
home, and has been used for
this purpose for over two months
past.
During the severe cold weather
of the past winter many very old
Indian men and women were COM
fortably housed there, they thus
escaped the hardships which would
have been their inevitable lot had
they remained in their homes.
The home is under the very ef-
ficient management of Miss
Blanche Lyons, who is the matron,
and she is ably assisted by Mrs.
Mary McMartin.

UNNECESSARY ALARM.

1t is reported that Mr.. Gus Nor
by, representative Wf the right OF
way agentlo the SEQ Railroad Com
pany, has informed certain mem
bers of this reservation that the
company has obtained a right OF
way through this reservation from
the government without regard to
the rights of the tribe, or the al.
lottees of the lands over which the
railroads will pass, and that they
will receive no compensation for
the same.
This is such an absurd PROPOSE
ton that we very much doubt it's
authenticity. The company will not
and cannot ignore the rights OF the
allottees any more than it could
the right of a homesteader outside
of this reservation. If it should
attempt to follow the prevailing
custom of ignoring the rights OF
the Indians the latter have their
remedy the Sahae as any other
citizen
The Secretary of the Interior
has no more right to grant right
of way over the allotment of an
Indian without the latter's consent
than he would have to grant q
similar right over the homestead
of citizen outside of reserva-
ton; in fact his authority is limit
ed to the approval of any conces-
sion that allotees may make to the
railroad companies. 1t is only in
the event that an allOttee and Il rail-
road company cannot agree upon
a settlement that the secretary can
appoint referees to make awards.
If the allvttee is dissatisfied with
an award he can appeal by petit
ton to the United States district
court in which the land is situated.
and the judgement for damages
rendered by that court shall be
final.
In view of the Act of Congress
of March 9, 1899, providing for
rights of way by railroad com.
panies through Indian reserva-
tions, we need have no fear that
any railroad company is going to
ignore the rights of the Indians,
for their rights are amply pro.
tected by the Act. The notices
which are now being served on the
allottees on this reservation, over
whose allotments the roads are go'
ing to be built, are simply in com.
pliance with the act referred to,
which provides that this must be
done as a preliminary step towards
securing the right OF way over
allotments.

HITS THE BULLS EYE.

The Pioneer Press, which has
always been one>.,of the fairest
newspapers in the state respecting
the interests of the Indians i'm re-
fering to tine opposition3uf the
ToMAHAwK to the Clapp amend
memts in the Indian appropriation
act of this year, 'sums up the situa-
in this wise:
The ''TOMAHAwK" is the name of a
new paper just established at White
Earth Minn., as ''the organ OF the
Chippewa Indians" 1t is published
by Gus. II. Beaulieu, well known as an
influential character among his tribs-
men, Its foremost present ambition
would appear to be to ''tomahawk"
the Clapp amendments ito the Indian
appropriation act, which provide for
the opening to settlement0 OF the west
ern portion of the Red Lake reservation
The main objection seems to lie, first,
to the deferred payments for land, al
lowed under the act, and second, to
the requirement that the Indians shall
grant to the State of Minnesota, for
school purposes, sections l6 and 36 in
each township. 1t is claimed that a
similar provision for deferred pay
ments, in the Nelson law, has resulted
in a failure on the part of the Indians
to receive payment for lands sold eight
years age, so that they,are losing annu-
ally at least $5O, 900 on q fund which
should NOW be yielding them 5 per
cent per alanllnl. AS to the donation
of two sections in each township to
the state. tire Indians who oppose ac-
ceptance of the amendments cannot
see why they should give to Minnesota
lands valued at between sixty and
seventy-1ive Thousand dollars, for no
other apparent consideration than the
privilege OF selling the remainder OF
the bands to the highest bidder. AL
though the provisions of the Clapp
act have seemed to the Pioneer Press
the most liberal of any terms ever yet
offered for the acquisition OF Indian
lands in Minnesota, it seems that the
memory of the deceitsand wrongs pi;lc-
ticed under previous acts ts-particular-
ly in extending the time of deferred
payments regardless OF the original
agreement under the Nelson LAWS
operating stongly to prevent the &C
ceptance of the Clapp act by the In
dams. Without such acceptance the
lands cannot be opened to settlement.
SO may the would-be settlers OF to-
day be made to suffer for the misdceds
of the whites in other years Clean,
straightforward justice to the 1ndi-
an from the beginning would have
been q paying policy, Means, hoW~
ever, NAV be found Of SO assuring the
Indians that no repetetion OF previous
wrongs will occur that majority OF
them will 'touch the pen" and ratify
the act.

OUR WASH|GNTON COR
RESPONDENT.
Washington, D. G.,
April, IA, 1908.

! 10 the Editor of the ToMAHAwK:
was pleased this morning by
the receipt of the initial number OF
''THE TOMAHAwK. -
In mechanical execution THE
i TOMAHAWK' is excellent and at
tractive, while it's announcements
are expressions of truth, patriot
ism, and of commendable devotion
to the rights and interests of all
American Indians, especially to
those public and private policies,
which ever tend to encourage in
cmtstrial success and to promote
conditions of the broadest liberty,
peace and happiness.
l have given the situation and
treatment of the Indians, much
thought and study, and am not un-
familiar with the many greivous
wrongs they have been compelled
to endure. Under the administra-
ton of the affairs of the Govern
ment, the political status of the
Indians has been anomalous, in,
deinable, amd peculiar, possessing
the power and disposition to hold
them in subjection and subserv-
ancy; yet, in li,aited sense, rec
ognizing them as independent. In
other words, treating with them
as sovereigns while reserving and
exercising the right to alter, amend
and even disregard the obligations
of such solemn agreements. Com
PEELED to live under such system
of independent dependency,
with no forum to which they could
,appea. at viii, with any assurance
of relief, or protection in many in
stances, they soon became the
easy prey Of designing evil and
greed of evarice: which for years,
through superior intelligence have
deprived them of their holdings,
and encouraged political policy,
i which has, SO long oppressed and
wronged them.
In view of these facts of which
history is SO repletc, | have long
been puzzled to account for the fact,
of why the various Indian Nations
have not sooner awakened to the
power, Importance, and necessity
| of we'll conducted newspapers to
keep them posted and advised as
to their true interests and rights
and to boldly defend them.
Many grave questions as to
property rights of the Indians are
still undetermined, which imper-
atively demand the intelligent
watchfulness of the press to sound
the alarm of the approach Of dan
ger. and no sentinels are worthier
of performing such an important
service than newspapers ably and
faithfully edited and published by
members of the respective tribes.
Entertaining most earnestly the
foregoing views as to the many
fragrant wrongs and injuries to
which the Indians have long been
subjected, l heartily commend the
spirit you exhibit in entering the
field of public journalism as the
publisher of ''THE ToMAHAwK"
devoted to the interest of the Chip
pewa Indians of Minnesota, and
bespeaks for it a career of splendid
success.
