The Wild Rice Lumber Com
pany, in communication to the
ToMAHAwK relative to the wild
Rice Lake dam says: I'VE have
noticed in the ToMAHAwK the item
in regard to Chief Joe's (Pin-dig-
ay-keshig) kickabout our logs and
dam at Wild Rice Lake. We are
sorry he fells so bitter against us.
We believe that two OF his boys
worked in our lumber camps last
winter, and were paid over one
hundred dollars each and board for
their work. We do not think
there is any occasion for violence
or trouble. We do not expect to
do any damage, but if we do we
will cheerfully pay for it. We do
not think it is fair to bring up old
matters that were once settled and
agreed to by Joe himself and the
other Indians. We have just
bought two sections of pine timber
on the ceded townships of the
White Earth Reservation that were
claimed by this state as school
lands, but recently sold under the
Morris Act, that will cost us sixty
Thousand dollars which will 60 to
the Indians, and will have to be cut
during the next two years largely
by Indian labor. Therefore let
us be friends and pull together in
stead of continually stirring up
strife. We will have no use for
the dam except a short time each
Spring, and no harm can come
from it if used in this way. We
believe large majority Of the res
ervation people are friendly to us,
and we wish them to contiue to
remain SO.
