No. SAYS Mr.. Noble.


United States Commissioner
Noble, of Blackjack. was a visitor
inthecity yesterday and incident
ally stopped at the Pioneer Office
to make the statement that Henry
Funkley the Blackjack attorney
was not a good fellow. The reason
for this opinion is an article that
Mr.. Funkley recently had pub
llshed in this paper. 1t was to
the effect that Funkley had driven
Noble out Of his Office with,a poker
because that gentleman refused
to pay his S1o0on a claim relin-
ouishment. This Mr.. Noble
denys. He did not leave the office
of the sageof the Blackduckahead
of a poker, but went with dignity
and decorum as became a United
States Commissioner. Neither
had he any connection with the
matter that Funkley charged. AS
to the methods of the U. S. Com
missioners which Mr.. F'unkley
rather scathingly arraigned Mr..
Noble says they are not his.
And there you are.

CUTTING PINE
Lumbermen Will Get Out 80, 900,
900 Feet on Chippewa Reser-
yatiOn This Season.

William O'Neil, superintendent
of logging on the Chippewa reser-
walton, estimates uiilau ollv lltas44 yS4
men who purchased pine Dec. 5
sale will be able to get out %, OOO,-
900 to 100000 feet before the
breakup in the spring. j. s.
Rayburn, of Duluth, has been ap-
pointed as an assistant superin-
tendent under Mr.. O'Neil acting
in the same capacity as James
Middleton of Walker and j. d.
Caldwell of Washburn, Wis.
"The lum bermen who pur-
chased pine on the Chippewa res
ervation at the first sale in
December have already begun
logging, said Mr.. O'Neil. "The
work of actual cutting was held
up for a few days pending the
approval Of bonds, but that has
since been adjusted. The j..
Neils Lumbe company was the
first to begin the actual work Of
logging. They have two big
camps in their territory and they
are taking care Of the brush very
nicely. The Standard Lumber
company has one camp, the
Northland Lum Der company five,
the Pine Tree company two, and
the Brainerd Lumber company
one. The Burlington Lumber
company will do no work this
winter and the Mueller Lumber
company, another Of the success
full bidders, expects to do some
sumner logging. Possibly some
of the other companies will oper=
ate in the summer also. !"
Mr.. O'Neil was asked it tho In
dams appear to be interested IN
taking advantage Of the opportun-
tiles for employment which the
logging will. afford.
s'No, it is too early yet, he re-
piled. "That will come later,
however, I have no doubt. 1t is
a, matter of education. Over on
the Bad River reservation in Wis
consin the Indians did not at
first take to the numbering oper-
ations. When the saw mill was
built there seven years ago, they
took to the woods Now, and
for a long time past, the most OF
the labor performed in the mill
is done by Indians, and some OF
them hold responsible positions.
