AIAWATHA.

Recent discussions, and Indian
school inspector Wright's inter-
view with the St. Paul Globe re-
porter last Sunday, relative to the
proper pronunciation of the name
Hiawatha. lead us to advance our
view regarding the subject.
If the name Hiawatha was in
tended by Mr.. Longfellow for the
compound Chippewa word of
''hah-ye-wah-sah' which trans
lated is: Oh. great distance, they
it should be pronounced as spellr'
by us.
In the Chippewa legend OF
Wain-nah-bozho. which was the
basis Of I.ongfellow's famous
poem, and with which legend we
are familiar, the name Hiawatha
does not once appear.
1t may be that in selecting a
title for his poem the name OF
Way-nah- bozho was not as accept
able to Mr.. Longfellow's poetical
taste as the word hah-ye-wah-sah,
and that he accordingly substitut-
ed the word for the name. Unless
this is the case Hiawatha. in our OPP
inion, should he pronounced as spell
ed. Everyone to histaste, however,
and as we have been pronouncing
it ''hah-ye-wa-sah' with the accent
on on the assumption that it is the
Chippewa word of oh u great
distance" we will no doubt find it
difficult to conform with the new
pronunciation which has been
adopted by the public schools, and
will continue to pronounce 1t
''hah w wah sah'.

DOWN timber.
And Reservation Sentiment.

The sentiment on this reserva-
ton is all in favarIof the adoption
Of Agent Michelet's recommends
tons that the pine timber which
WAS blown down last fall on this
reservation should be cut under a
plan which is similar to the Memo
minee system.
At the urgent Of the chiefs
made last October, the agent in
vestigated the report that large
amount of pine timber had blown
down BY the big wind storm
which swept the northern part OF
this state during the past summer,
and he made report to the in
terror department. regarding the
same, and in which he also recon-
mended that the timber, in order
to prevent it's become waste,
should be cut Immediately and sold
for the benefit of the White Earth
Indians.
# There was some misunderstand-
ing among the Twin Lakes Indians
regarding the recommendations
of the agent, but at the councils
held during the past week, this
was all explained to their satisfac-
ton, and BY a unanimous wish Of
the council a telegram was sent
by the chiefs to Congressman
Steenerson asking him to urge
the department to accept t h e
agents recommendations.

KETTLES
AND THE POT. =

Ed. Warren, in an interview a;
Cass Lake with = correspondent
of the St. Paul Di.l> .eh, takes
occasion to severely rriticise the
'lumbermen and their allies' fol
opposing the Morris Act. and en-
tiers into matter in relation tt
Major Scott that is neW to US. w.
assume that the allies referred
to include all those who are op'
posed to the act.
Some of the lumbermen whom
Ed. criticises were his associates
in the recent dead and down
frauds, and his utterances now il
favor of measure which takes
from the Indians not less than
half q million dollars worth Of
land and timber without providing
for any compensation for the
same, has not the ring Of sincerity,
and unselfishness which is usually
observable in an honest wish. A
man who was compelled to pay
seven thousand dollars for Chip
pewa timber he cut in violation OF
the trespass laws Of The United
States, and this while he was act
ing as deputy United States
marshal, cannot now put on. y
pious mein and express indigna-
ton towards the allies who
sought to protect the interests Of
the Chippewas against the inequi-
ties of the dead and down timbel.
operations. without being remind
ed that his motives are still under
suspicion.
Eds. indignation, Ofcourse. has
no connection with the eight dol
lar day job under the act which,
he. SO strenuously defends, ans'
which position. according to his
friend Bernard and from our per-
! sonal knowledge, he is entirely in
competent to fill. Nor is this i'll
dignation caused by the fact that
he has been recently appointed as
the custodian of the forest reserve
created by the act, and for which
he will receive 4 salery of one
hundred dollars per month. Ed.
Warren is noted for protecting one
Indians pine and other interests,
and this is all he is seeking to do
now.
In regard to that portion of the
| interview which refers to Major
Scott, we have never heard that
| the latter has been charged with
dishonesty in connection with the
! Morris Act. But the ToMAHAwk
did take him to task for making
| insinuations in an interview with
the Duluth News Tribune in which
| he reflected against the honesty OF
the motives of those who are OPP
| posed to the act, and for causing
the arrest of a member of the
tribe who was circulating petit
ton among his kinsmen protesting
against its forestry provisions.
Ed. is undoubtedly trying to
work Major Scott, and it will re-
main to be seen whether he will
succeed with his transparent fiat
terry or not.
