CHIEF WADENA RE-
FUSES HIS TRUST
PATENT.

Old Chief Wadena, the only
blanket Indian on this reservation.
has absolutely refuse to accept the
trust patent for eighty acres OF
land which was allotted to him
under the act of January II, 1889,
commonly called the Nelson Act.
During the payment of the an
unities under the act, which is now
being made, Agent Michelet has
been delivering to each of the In
dians the trust patents for their
several allotments of land, With
out exceptions the Indians have
accepted these patents. and it was
only when chief Wadena's name
was called that a little variation
to the regular routine took place.
He absolutely refused to accept
the patent which Agent Michelet
offered to him, and in voice
quivering with emotion said:
: l was told by the commission
which negotiated with us for our
assent to the act, that we would
receive allotments of one hundred
and sixty acres of land each, and
l will not accept less" Major
Michelet tried to persuade him
to accept the patent, and said it
would be better for his interests
if he would do so, for he would
then be assured of eighty acres of
land, but the old chief said that it
the government would not fulfill
it's agreement of alloting one hum
dred and sixty acres to each per-
son, it could keep all the land SO
far as he was concerned.
The promises under which the
Rice Commission obtained the as
sent of the Indians on this reser-
vation to the act Of 1889, have
been ignored almost entirely and
although it was principally upon
the condition that every m n.
woman and child here would re.
ceive allotment in amounts Of one
hundred and sixty acres each as
provided by the treaty of 1867,
that the Indians gave their assent
to the act, yet this promise has not
only been ignored, but the authori-
ties of the interior department
have refused to allot more than
eighty acres to each individual.
This has been a source Of general
dissatisfaction amogsts the mem
bers of this reservation, and in his
refusal to accept his trust patent
Wadena has expressed the general
sentiment of the reservation in
relation to the matter.

Estimates Seven Bushel Yield.

l.. G. Hazlett, manager for the McCor-
mick Harvester Machine company in
Grand Forks, estimates an average
wheat yield of seven bushels to the acre
in North Dakota. This average is bas-
ed on the grain sown and not on that
harvested. Mr.. Hazlett explains that
in many sections of the state, notably
portions of the Red river valley, and the
country adjoining the 500 north from
Anamoose, the yield will be much larger
than seven bushels to the acre. but he
predicts this average for the entire state
on the average seeded. In some sections
the drouth has been so severe that much
grain will not be harvested, and sone
that will be harvested will yield much
less than Mr.. Hazletts average.

The Walsh had been chartered by
the Montana Club for a trip around
the Port Orchard points. About 3
O'Clock | landed the eXcursionists and
the owner of the steamer, Capt. Nc

could. but the docks were on fire I'M

had their hands burned
i The origin of the fire is a perfect
mystery to me Everything was so

The Walsh was a steamer OF 575
tons, 1910 feet long and one OF the
largest end wheelers on the Sound.
: Built at Port Blakeley for the Stickeen
! river run in 1898, she was completed
: by Capt. Mccormack last winter, and
was essentially a new vessel. 1t is
said tha. she was the only steamer

excursion boat exclusively.
