and he at once commenced to howl
and called loudly for Nokomis, to


and called loudly for Nokomis, to
hurry up, come to me, Pam afire
-hi-hai, Nokomis come quickH
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-bozho, he was indeed sorry
looking sight after he was relieved
of his fiery jacket. Nokomis tend
erly supported him to reach the
wigwam, where she prepared Il
soft couch of moss and leaves, and
upon which he lay down. Then
N0kOmis 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 a 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'S $
spirit waited to the most cnchant-
ing scenes, the wonderous marvrIS
and glorics in the realms of
Dreamland, to get more lnstruc-
ton regarding the improvements
of this earth.

By THEo. II. 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 Gcsis and steal away
one of his smiles-rays, 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 l would not
advise you to undertake such a
long journey and so hazardous a
task But nothing daunted
Way-nah- -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 M-took
himself to the woods where he
held council with the trees of
the forest, this was presumably
the first council or secret session
ever held, it finally ended in the
birch trees consenting to give
some Of their we-gwas Ozark,
which was part Of their snow
white garments and lined with
rich purple and gold; the majestic
cedar rendered him d few frhg-
rant splihters for the keel and ribs
of his craft; the stately tamarac
donated sotile of it's wa-daub (the
strong durable rootlest) to lace it
together, and the princelN pine
taw assured him that it would
shed few tears of pe-giew (gttm)
to cement the whole together,
and make 1t Waterproof.
In time the keel Was laid. the
light, feathery ribs were put in
place and the white and gold COL
orcd robes of the queen of the
forest was gracefully set about
the corset and the wa-daub was
made to gently clasp and lace them
together while the tears Of the
pine -pe-giew-smoothed the
creases. Thus, the first we-gWas-
o-gee-mon, (birch bark canoe) was
finished; and a beauty it was too,
the like of which none but Way
nah-boozho and his descendants
have ever succeeded to build to
perfection.
When all was ready, Waysnah-
boozho embraced Nokomis and
bid her an affectionate good bye,
after having instituted her to pre-
bare an earthen pot wherein she
was to place some punk procured
for the purpose, and watch for
his coming. He embarked in his
canoe, and having summoned the

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

Ma jor 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
mcnt, 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 $
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 night and is
not founded on any principle of
Justice. We cannot agree, how
ever, with that portion of the in
tervicw 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 rcscr-
vations in this state except the
White Earth and Red Lake rcscr-
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-
isting 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-
lati0n of it's agreement with those
Indians.
We do not believe that Congress
would case the Red Lake rcscrva-
ton to be opened to settlement re-
gardlcSs of the Indians who are
occupying it, but if it should
the disagrrrabIc responsibility will
rest upon those through whose in
strumcntality this may be accom-
plishcd.

and his uncleS, the oOuCn, rast
and West wind spirits, he was
soon gone and out of sight. At
daydreak the next morning he
found himself near the glittering
shores of the Suns island home;
he hastily stepr: ), ashore and
after concealing his canoe, sat
down a moment to dertermlne
what course was best to pursue
to procure fire. Now Waynah-
boozho had the power to assume
the shape of almost any animal he
desired, 80 he changed himself
into a rabbit and he proceeded to
drench himself with water and
sand, then he lay himself down
close to the waters edge, appa-
rently more dead than alive. Pres
emily two Of the Suns pretty
DAUGHTERS came to the beach to
to draw water with which to
shower Nature with the crystal
beads of the morning dew. One
of them saw the poor, forlorn
looking rabbit, and she called her
sisters attention to the pitiable
object; they could not tell what it
was, having never seen anything
like it before, however, their hearts
were touched with pity and they
concluded to take it home to their
fathers wigwam and beg him to
smile ON the poor half-drowned
creature, so that it might get
warmed and revived.
When they got home the Sun
was already awake and everything
was warm and pleasant inside of
the sacred lodge, of course no
question was asked by the spirits
guarding the entrance as they
were subject to the daughters as
well as to the Sun, So they passed
in unmolested and tenderly laid
down their burden and went about
their work, soon the rabbit began.
to show signs of life by jumping
up and skipping about the lodge
at very lively rate and greatly
to the amusement of the two
daughters, this soon attracted the
attention of the Sun, and he asked
his daughters what this was that
they had brought into the lodge,
rebuking them for admitting
strangers in his presence without
first asking his permission. While
conversation was going on, the
rabbit had come and sat down OPP
posite the Sun and within easy
exit of the door; there he sat, in
the most matter of fact way, NOV
ing his long ears to and fro and
twitching his lips and nose in a
most amusing and ridiculous fash
ion, while in this position the Sun
happened to look at him, and so
comical did the rabbit seem that
he could not restrain a smile OF
merriment escaping him. and its
glittering rays rested between the
rabbits shoulders! AS soon as this
had taken place, Waynahboozo,
(for it was he) caught spark OF the
fiery ray on small piece of punk
he had fastened between his shoul-
ders and darted out of the lodge
and sped like an arrow from the
bow. towards where his canoe lay
concealed. and loss time than it
takes us to write this, he was off
and far away on his return voy-
age homeward: When the Sun
discovered what had been done he
hid his face and bid his daughters,
the clouds, forthwith to weep
-rain-and endeavor to quench
the spark of fire Way-nah-b -bozho
had stolen, but so swift did the
wind spirit hurry his light craft
before them, that it was found
impossible to overtake him. And
thus he was allowed to proceed
the rest of his voyage unmolested.
The swiftness with which Way
nah=bozho and his craft was being
hurried along caused the burning

The senate committee on privileges
and elections met recently to outline
a policy to be pursued in investigating
the protests filed against Senator Reed
Smoot being permitted to retain his
seat, and decided that before taking
further steps in the matter, Senator
Smoot should be given opportunity to
make reply to the charges.
Senator Burrows, chairman Of the
committee, was instructed to notify
Senator Smoot of the decision Of the
committee and receive any reply ho
may desire to make in writing.
In addition to the innumerable peti-
tions filed with the committee for the
expulsion of Senator Smoot, two pro-
tests from citizens of Utah we're pre-
sented and briefly considered by the
committee.
These protests charged Mr.. Smoot
with being a polygamist. They also
charge that the Norman church. OF
which Mr.. smoot is an apostle. holds
its own laws to be superior to those
of the state, and they contend the
church still stands for polygamy.

Indians lndifferent-The coIomblans
May Have Landed In Gulf Of Darien.

Colon, Dec. 14.-Through the exam.
ination of the San Bias coast made by
the U. s. s. Atlanta and the converted
cruiser Mayhower. both of which YES
sells have returned here. it has been
clearly established that the Colombian
cruisers General Pinzon and Carriage.
ma appeared in the gulf Of Darien
about SO hours after they were report
ed as having left Cartagena. No reli.
able evidence, however, could be OBJ.
tanned to show that any of the troops
carried by the cruisers had been land.
ed, either on the gulf coast or north.
west thereof.
The Atlanta and the Mayfower made
thorough inspection Of the entire
vicinity. 1t was learned that at one
coast point the Cartagena embarked q
small quantity of naval stores, few
bullocks, some corn and so pieces OF
zinc roofing, but no information could
be obtained as to the direction taken
by the cruiser thereafter. 1t has been
reported that Colombian troops were
landed at a certain point on the Pana.
ma coast, but the Atlanta was present
at this place at the time when, &C.
cording to the report. the troops SHOULD
have been landed and saw nothing.
All officers found the attitude Of the
Indians to be Indifferent and even re-
pellant. The traditions of the Indians
for centuries have been against per.
mitting aliens in their territory and
these traditions they still maintain
They often declined to answer the
questions Of the interpreters and on
several occasions their information
was found to be misleading.
The information obtained by the At
lanta and Mayaower indicates either
that the Colombian troops have been
returned to Cartagena or that they
have been landed at some point on the
coast between Cartagena and the gulf
Of Darien and may be proceeding
thence toward Cauca.
