the defeat of the forestry provi-
sions of the Morris law: that the
segregation of these lands for for

If Congressman Buchanan makes
no attempt towards securing an
amendment to the Morris Act
eliminating it's forestry provisions
this winter. undoubtedly some
candidate for congressional honors
in the sixth district will come for

matter an issue, and win out

WHITE EARTH TIMBER.
"Dewn' Logsssw|II Not Be Cut this
Season.

Washington, Dec. Especial
Agent Farr of the Indian Office
has reported that the plans for cut
ting the down timber on the
White Earth reservation, as pro-
posed by Agent Alichelet is all
right.
Farr himself suggests it would
be advisable not to do any logging
this season. He says he believes
the timber will bring better price
next season and that the deteriora-
ton in value will be less than the
difference between the present and
prospective price of logs.
Commissioner Jones has there
fore decided to postpone cutting
on this reservation until next sea-
son. Minneapolis journal.
There will undoubtedly be much
disappointment among the young
men of this reservation because of
the commissioners decision to not
permit the timber that was blown
down on this reservation last sum
mer to be cut and sold. These
young men desired employment,
and they had good grounds to be-
iieve; in view of the condition of
this timber, that it would be log
ged this winter.
Wherever the ne.tlmber was
blown down last summer the lum-
bermen are taking no chances
with the forest fires but are cut
ting and hauling it this winter.

TOWNSHIP FIGHT.

Official of the Cass Lake land
Office, says the Dulth News Tri-
bune, are hearing the protest of
Earnest Fleming against the
Richard townsite entries.
Attorney White is representing
Mr.. Fleming, and the entrymen
are represented by W. B. Mathews
of Washington d. G. and Judge
Lang at Cass Lake.
Fleming's opposition to the en-
tries are based on e c h n c !
grounds.
We are inclined to think that
the Fleming protest is not the
only contest with which the town
site boomers will have to contend,
and before good title can be OBJ
tanned to this townsite, the courts
may be called upon to pass upon
the right of the land Office to allow
any entries upon Chippewa res
ervations until the Indians have
all received their allotments.
Mr.. Mathews, who is one of the
attorneys for the entrymen, claims
to be the attorney of the Pillager
Chippewa Indians, under h e
authority of council proceeding
certified to by Agent Scott, and
when they hear that he is present
ing a claim in the. land Office
which is decidedly in; conflict with
their interest, even Falmouth,

Indians that were at the Mathew
council last summer, may object
to having him represent interests
which are opposed theirs, which

CASS LAKE TIMBER.
The sale Will Take Place On
December 28.

Washington, Dec. IS. Judge
Anderson in the supreme court OF
the district of Columbia to-day
postponed without date the hear
ing in the Chippewa timber suit
which was filed the latter part of
November, and which attacks the
validity of the Morris law. It is
probable the case will be called
early in January.
It is stated at the interior de-
partment and land office that this
postponement will not interfere
with the award of contracts for
the sale of timber on Leech Lake
reservation, for which proposals
were opened Dec. 5. 1t is said,
also, that in the ordinary course
of business the awards will not be
made until January. a careful
examination will be made of all
bids, section by section, SO that
subsequent complications may be
avoided. The lists also will be ex-
amined for the elimination of such
tracts of swamp land as are due
the state, under Secretary Hitch
cocks recent decision. When all
these preliminaries are disposed
of the papers will be placed before
the secretary for his action.
It is believed here that the suit
now pending does not bar the sec
rotary from awarding contracts
whenever he is ready to do SO, be-
cause no injunction has been issued
and it is understand he as been adj
vised to that effect by the legal
officers of the department.. Prep
aration is being made for the sale
on Dec. %, when the same course
of procedure will be followed as
the earlier sale. Messrs. Parker
and Pollock have been detailed to
represent the department. They
will leave Christmas Day for Cass
Lake. Minneapolis Journal.
As long as Secretary Hitchcock
is in charge of the administration
of Indian matters he will go on
with the sale of Chippewa pine

Timber on Coded Lands

Mr.. Welch, government scalcr,
has reported that there is in the
neighborhood of l,OOO,OOO or
800, 600 #. OF fine quality of pine
timber, which was blown down
during the destructive wind storm
of Sept. 1.-the 1903, in Township
Ia, Range u, being one the four
coded towns, and suggests that
early steps should be taken to log
this timber and thereby save it
from the destructive rvagcs of the
elements and forest fires us also
to assure it's monetary value to the
Indians and it's material quality to
the public generally. Under the
act of Jan. II, 1889 no provision
is made to reimburse the Indians
for any loss they may inc II +
through the loss of timber by the
element or forest fires, pending or
during the time that might elapse
between the passage of the act and
the final sale of the timber, hence
it would seem prudent and econ
omic to take early action, by the
authorities. and have this timber
cut and banked the present winter.

WOULD CHANGE The
Law.
Indian Commissioner Jones Says /
Would Not Se Necessary To-
Get Indians Co1.s.t 10 I
Sell His Land.

Washington, Dec. 1S.--lndian
Commissioner Jones has declared
himself in favor of change OF
policy in the disposal Of Indian
lands. He would not require the
consent of the Indians for the salt:
Of reservation land, a policy and
practice which has prevailed for
years.
II believe the time hasscome
when there should be a change in
the governments policy regarding
the sale Of Indian lands, said the
commissioner today, 'SThe Indians
should be paid a fair price for
their land, but as they are the
nations wards we should treat
them as other wards are treated,
let those in authority dispose of
their property in the best way for
their interests. without going
through the formalitN of getting
their consent.
1T is almost impossible, under
present conditions, to secure the
consent of the Indisns to.an agree
ment for the sale of their lands.
This was shown in the cases OF
| the Red Lake Indians in Mime
sofa and the Rosebuds in South
Dakota. Inspectors were sent to
both places, but failed to get the
consent Of the Indians because OF
the oppision of certain interests.
The objections urged against these
treaties were valid, but are used
AS an illustration-@of the faetsthatf
there is always some obstacle IN
! the way of consllmation of the
sale when consent Of the Indians
is required. >
Tradition in the Office and in
the interior department., require
that the consent of the Indians
should be obtained, but owing to
changed conditions, we should
break away from this rule. Con-
gress should provide for the allot-
ment of 80 or 100 acres each to all
Indians and for the sale of the re-
mainder of the lands at a fair
valuation. Such a change OF
policy cannot come too soon, In
my judgement, for the good OF
the Indians, the government and
the white people. "-Minneapolis
journal.
The foregoing expressions Go
not surprise us in the least, for we
frequently heard that this is the
sentiment of not only the interior
department officials but of con-
gress since the supreme court OF
the United States rendered its
pecjsion in the Lone Wolf case and
which was in line with the senti-
ments expressed by the commits
sioner.
The supreme courts decision
does not, however, make the policy
advocated by Mr.. Jones right, for
it is contrary to its agreements
W h the Indians: agreements
which the latter have never violat-
cd, and which they have right to
expect the United States cannot
| in Justice and fairness, or with
credit to itself violate.
No one can tell what the policy
advocated by the commissioner
may bring forth if put into opera
ton, but we are inclined to think
that the government would find it
very expensive, and in the end,
unpopular policy.
As far as the civilized Indians
are concerned. it is quite probable
that they would submit to the in
Justice of such policy: and if
they are citizens and voters, hold
their respective congressman re-
sponsible for such injustice.
