ging ON the Chippewa reservation under the
provisions of the Morris law. Mr.. Fail was
shown the statement made by some Of the lun,.
burning the debris. and other statements being
circulated and said:
Z 81 note what is being said relative to the
work Of removing and burning debris costing
50 thousand and that the lumbermen will bid
just that much less, which would virtually make
the Indian pay for the work. This order by the
officials is in measure an experiment, and
an impossibility Of the lumbermen The claim
that the cost for this work will be 81 q
thousand is unreasonable; it will not exceed 81
a thousand, and 10 cents is a very fair price.
The average logger Is familiar with the fact
that that portion Of the tree from which the
logs taken has very few, If any, branches or
limbs, and in order to swamp logs. 1t is neces-
limbs. They also have to clear room for skid

result the debris and limbs are fairly well piled
together in all operations, and the additional
expense necessary to perfect piling, as required
under the Morris bill rules will be very light.

the Indian Will not be deceived by being led to
believe that those who have always tried to

Accounts Of the Late City Recorder In
C q Terrible State


,w1LLMAR, MINN.--The accounts of the late
city recorder; Samuel osmundson, have been

weeks. The result was acted on by the city
council last night. During five years the finances
examined showed shortage Of S5,a5o.17, found
mainly in the municipal light and water ac-
counts. The finance Committee is censured for
failure to detect the obvious discrepancies in the
annual reports. During the year ending March
20, 1902, when the receipts were S4O,O46.e2 as
nearly as could be ascertatned, no record what
ever could be found in the recorders books for
ten months
1t Is thought the recorder did not alone profit
by the populations. Further Investigations as to
what became Of the, funds will be, demanded.
The Willmar city hall ring dates back since the
first municipal plant was erected. Donaldson g
report shows that operations began ut once. At
the close of the year ending March %, 1890, ac-
counts obtained show shortage of 81, 282. "a.
