4 VALUABLE ADJUNCT.

We have just received as an ex-
change acopy Of the Red Man and
Helper. which is the school paper
of the Carlisle Indian School
The Rcd Man and Helper is one
Of the most valuable aMjuncts of
the school. and it has turned out
many good printers who arc NOW
employed in various parts of thiS
country both in and outside of In
dian reservations. The IONA
HAWK has two of tlpm employed
in it's office. and one of these,
William Lllfkins, who graduated
from Carlisle in the class of 1895.
has exclusive chargeof the mechan-
ical work of the ToMAIAwK. His
assistant, ,Iohn Mel.stc1.a a member
of the Oneida tribe of WISCONSIN,
is also u graduate of the Carlisle
school, and severed Lis alasrentlae~
ship in the Red Man and Helpers
office.
Besides these .two there lis still
another ,of the Red Man;and Help
er}s printers tcmploNed .on this res
ervation, namely; Samuel Towns
end, a .Pawnee Indian, who lis now
employed lin ithe,effice of the Chip
peway Herald at the government
school here.

TO BUILD 500 EXTENSION.
A Minneapolis Firm Takes the Contract.
Construction Said to be Easy.

The 500 line has let contract for
Glenwood extension to Richards,
Lundeen & Co., of Minneapolis.
The new line extends north into
the White Earth reservation
through Alexandria. This town
secured a station location by sub
scribing a bonus OF SIS, 900. This
extension of 125 miles will carry
the 500 almost through the reser-
vation.
The construction will be COM
paratively easy except between
Ottertail Lake and the Northern
Pacific where the work is about
40. .0e0 to $4,000 yards to the
mile, Minneapolis journal.
The Tomahawk., 1903-05-14


and called loudly for Nokomis, to
hurry up, come to me, Pam atire
|-hi-hai, Nokomis come quiclH'
When Nokomis heard this, she
rushed out of her wigwam and hur-
ried towards the shore, carrying
the pot she had prepared with her,
so excited was she that she forgot
all about her stick and sprained
ankle. When she reached the shore
and pulled the canoe on the beach,
she first shook some of the fire in
to the pot then she proceeded to
try and relieve Way-nah-bozho
from his agonizing predictment.
In many places the rabbit skin had
burned through. And when, at
last, Nokomis pulled it off his back,
great pieces of his own skin and
flesh came off with it! Poor Way
nah-bozllo, he was indeed a sorry
looking sight after he was relieved
of his fiery jacket. Nokomis tend
erly supported him to reach the
wigwam, where she prepared a
soft couch of moss and leaves, and
upon which he lay down. Then
Nokomis turned her attention to
the fire in the pot, she went out
and brought in some dry faggot,
as she had been instructed to do,
and soon bright, cheerful fire
was shedding it's grateful warmth
about the wigwam. This pleased
Way-nah-bozho exceedingly, and
he felt that the great comfort fire
would be to him and his brethren,
in the future, would more than re-
pay him for the terrible ordeal he
had just undergone.
Then he asked Nokomis to go to
a certain place and bring some clay
or dirt with which to dress his
wounds, he also instructed her to
gather certain kinds of roots and
herbs for the same purpose, which
were to be used by his brethren
likewise, whenever they had need
of them thereafter. After his
wounds had been dressed he par
took of some herb tea and then
Law down to rest. Worn, weary
and sore he was soon in Il sound
sleep. Then Waynahbozho' 5
spirit waited to the most enchant,
ing scenes, the wondcrous marveIs
and glories in the realms OF
Dreamland, to get more lnstruc'
ton regarding the improvements
OF this earth.

of his life. We don't doubt that Bob,
for it was here that you first met the

you formed then and still retain

WAY-NAH-B0zHo.
His Origin, Birth and Life.
By THEo. H. BEAUL1EU.,

About one of the first things
Waynahbozho talked about with
Nokomis, was the absence of fire,
as the nights at that time of the
year were very chilly, and the
family inheritance of skins and
furs was somewhat limited, this
added to Way-nah-bozho's .discom-
fort greatly. One morning having
slept colder than usual, he said,
''Nokomis, it is very cold here at
night, l wish we had some fire to
warm ourselves,'' but Nokomis
said, "Ny-anh, my grand-child l
don't think we can get fire, as it
is long distance across Gitche-
gumme (big water) to the Island
home of Gesis (sun), where fire
can be found, and then too, a
person would have to go before
the mighty Gesis and steal away
one of his smiles but that
have never been done, for the Is-
land and the sacred lodge of Gesis
is strongly guarded by many spir-
it's and his only companions are
his daughters, the clouds, and who
weep-rain- for him when he is
angry or when his heart feels bad.
No, my grand-child / would not
advise you to undertake such a
long journey and so hazardous a
task But nothing daunted
Way7nah-bozho, he was young, am
bilious and already he was feel
ing the thirst for glory and the
achievements of great deeds, and
| he at once set about laying plans
for the undertaking. He be-tool
himself to the woods where he
| held council with the trees of
the forest, this was presumably
the first council or secret session
ever heidi, it finally ended in the
birch trees consenting to give

THE RED LAKE ACT.
The Indians Have Refused to Assent to it.

Major Mclaughlin has failed to
secure the assent of the Red Lake
Chippewas to the act which pro-
vides for the opening of large
portion of their reservation. The
decision on the part of the Indians
is, in or opinion, final. The Red
Lake Chiapewas have been fooled
a number of times by the govern
ment, and, as one of them aptly
expressed it during the recent neg
citations, the whites cannot catch
them in their traps again. 1t is
true, as stated in McLaughlin's
interview with the Minneapolis
Journel of the 7th, that Congress
can without regard to the wishes
of the Indians arbitrarily open
their reservations. The supreme
court of the United States practi-
cally SO held in the Lone Wolf
case last Winter. But notwith
standing this discision, we believe
it is the right of might and is
not founded on any principle of
justice. We cannot agree, how
ever, with that portion of the in
terview which states that the Red
Lake diminished reservation can
be opened under the Nelson Act,
for that act provides for the com
plete REIMBURSEMENT of the Chip
pewa title in and to all the reser-
vations in this state except the
White Earth and Red Lake reser-
vations, and SO much of these two
reservations as may not be in the
opinion of the Chippewa commits
sion, required to make and fill the
allotments provided for under cX-
listing laws. The Indians refused
to assent to the act until the com
mission has designated the amount
of land which would be reserved
for allotment purposes, for the
present and future use of the In
dians, and the result was the di-
minished White Earth and Red
Lake reservations.
The government has never taken
steps to allot lands to the Red Lake
Indians as provided by the Nelson
Act, and until this is done it can
not arbitrarily open any of the
lands on the diminished Red Lake
reservation without Il fragrant vio-
ati0n of it's agreement with those
Indians.
We do not believe that Congress
would case the Red Lake rescrva-
ton to be opened to settlement re-
gardless of the Indians who are
occupying it, but if it should
the disagrceablc responsibility will
rest upon those through whose in
strumcntality this may be accom-
plishcd.
