Daniel Harmon, of counsel TOR the de-

At a conference between counsel on both

SCHOOL B0YC01TED.

In q recent number of one of
our exchanges we noticed an
article headed Indians boycoted u
school, which stated that the
BoiSforte ahd VermiIIion Lake,
Indians were opposed to sending
their children to the Indian board
ing school at Tower, Mimi, and
that the reason for this Objection
was on account of the location of
the school. While the Indians at
Net Lake have insisted upon the
fuIfillment Of treaty stipulation
to the effect that schools would be
located on the Net Lake Rcser-
vatioh and have partially for this
reason refused to send their child
rem to school ut Tower, the princi-
pie reason for the boycotting of
the Tower Indian School, by not
only the Indians at Net and Yer
million lakes but, those through
out this state. is on account of the
brutal murder of an Indian boy,
Charley Eagle, by one of the en-
ployes of that school two years
ago. For refusing to comply to
an unreasonable demand of this
employe, young Eagle was struck
on the head with lead billy
BY the employe and instantly
killed.
Although the latter was arres-
ted, the present superintendent
was allowed to go before the
United States grand jury and
practically make a plea for him,
which resulted in his non-indict-
ment. For this reason, as long
as the present superintendent re-
mains in charge of the Tower
school, it will be boycotted by the
ChipPewas.

DEATH or A PIONEER
ZIMMERMAN.

Capt. Jonathan Chase, avcteran
Minnesota lumberman, and well
known to almost every Chippewa
Indian in Minnesota, died last
Monday at his home in Mime
apolis. Capt, Chase, who was
himself mixcd=blood Indian
from Maine, was Il friend Of the
Chippewas, and while actively en-
gagged in numbering in the vicinity
of their reservation, he always
employed them to do such work
as they were able to do, and in
other ways gave them assistance.
Among his friends here who will
De sorry to learn Of his death, are
several members of this rescrva-
tion who belonged to the same
regiment that he did during the
war Of the rebellion.

The RED lake BILL
RECOMMENDED.

The house committee on Indian
affairs has reported the Steenerson
Red Lake Bill favorably, and it
will probably be pissed by the
House.
1t is understood that the bill
was amended SO as to eliminate
the clause Which provided for the
assent of the Indians to it's pro-
visions.
If the bill passes as recommen-
ded by the committee, the govern
meht will proceed to sell the Red
Lake lands without the assent OF
the Indians. We believe that this
departure from tie old policy Of
the government in it's dealings
with Indian lands, will result in
more than one Indian outbreak
before the Indians will become
reconciled to the new policy.
The present administration is
responsible for the change which
has been inaugcratrd by congress
Of taking from the Indians the
lands which it guaranteed to them
Under treaties, for not-with-
standing the decision of the
supreme Court OF the United
States, upon which congress basis
it's actions, the secretary of the
interior and the commissioner
could have influenced congress
against this policy.

WHEN WILL IT END?

Since 1890. a,large number of
land examiners have been en-
ployed constantly, with the ex-
ception of about two years that
they were suspended by Secretary
Hitchcock under the direction of
an amendment of the Indiah ap-
preparation act of 1898. In 1902,
the Morris Act reinstated the pro
visions of the act of 1889, which
provides for the employment of
land examiners, and increased
their pay to from six dollars as
provided by the latter act to eight
! dollars per day, Notwithstanding
that first class land examiners
would have been glad to secure
the positions at seventy-five dol
lars per month. The present
corps is at the North West Angle,
killing time no doubt at the ex-
pense of the Chippewas, and it is
hard to surmise when they will
report that they have concluded
their labors there.
1t can be assumed that the chief
of the corps will not expedite
matters any.

MinneSota'S. K|ondike.

The residents of Swan River
md Pine Lake in Todd county,
are very much excited over the
alleged discovery of gold, silver
and copper deposits in that vicin-
ity. It may be possible that there
is sonic foundation for the belief
that there are some mineral de-
posits at some points near the
Mississippi River from Little
Falls to Watab. Periodically,
from our earliest fecollections,
there have been rliniors of the ex-
istance of moldin Morrison county.
During the Vcrniillion Lake
gold excitement in this state in
1866, the late Thomas Cathcart,
.;sn old niiher aud well known to
many OF Morrison co,ihty's early
settlers. in discussing at that time
the Possibilities of mineral dcpos-
its in this state, said, he would
not be surprised if gold would be
discovered in paying Quantities
some day ih Morrison and Todd
counties, and that hr had himself
sren many Indications of gold
in these counties, that even at
Little Falls lie had seen some well
d fined gold quartz veins.
We can also recall Il trip which
the late Robert Fairbanks and
Henry Bcaulieu took by canoe
from the old village of Grow Wing
to some point on the Mississippi
River in the vicinity Of Swan
River, accompanied by Mah-che-
gah-bow, an old Indian who was
familiarly know at Little Falls
and Grow Wing as Major Cab
and who directed Mr.. Fairbanks
to the place where he thought
gold existed.
The specimens that were
brought back were pronounced
pyrites of IRON by Father Pierz
who assayed them.
1t is well known by of the
Gull Lake Indians here that there
is considerable iron ore about ten
miles southwest of Brainerd, and
it is surprise to them that it has
not yet been discovered by the
settlers in the vicinity Of the old
Chippewa agency on the banks of
the Grow Wing River.

WILL NOT HAVE TO
:. PROBATE.

including the Mile Lac Miss
issippis, there will be about 250o,
Indians on this reservation who
will be entitled to take 16O acres
of land each as allotments under
the Steenerson Act. Inasmuch as
there are yet about 100000 acres
of unallotted land, there would
still be 100000 acres left
if each Mississippi Chippewa
on this reservation would
receive an allotment of 16O
acres, and, therefore, there will
be no necessity to pro-rate. Ex-
cepting the Mississippi bands,
none of the other Chippewas on
the White Earth Reservation are
entitled, either under the Chipp-
eva Commissions promises or
the treaty stipulations of 1857, to
allotments. of 160 acres: these
treaty provisions, and commiss-
ions promises apply only to the
members of the Mississippi bands
on this reservation or who may
remove here.

The l4th. OF JUNE
CELEBRATION.

For several years past, efforts
| have been made to obtain funds
from the commissioner of Indian
affairs to defray the expense OF
the annual celebrations of the
settlement of this reservation by
the Chippewas, on } une 14th.,
but without success. In view of
these repeated failures to get de-
partmental assistance, steps should
be taken to bring the matter before
congress for the purpose of en-
deavoring to secure small ap-
preparation to enable the COM
mittee' that has charge. Of these
to provide for all the
necessary expenses.
1t has become the custom to
provide provisions for the visiting
delegations Of Sioux and Chippe-
was from other reservations, sthat
usually come here and take part
in the celebrations, and these pro-
visions have usually been fur
nished by The mixed bloods.
Last year, the renters" on
this Observation-Disclosures freely.
In fact, if it had not been
for their liberality and that of
Major Michelet and Mr.. Lipps,
the visiting Indians would have
been. compelled to accept half
rations while they were here.
The chiefs should appeal to the
member of congress, who repre-
sents this district, and try and en-
list his assistance towards getting
at least one thousand dollars set
aside, out of the annual reimburs-
able appropriation of $50,0Oo,
made for the Chippewas, for the
expenses Of the 14th, of June
1904. celebration.

VALUABLE POINTER.

At a time when every feature
Of the Morris Act should be
closely watched and guarded, the
suggestion Of lmen who are, on
account of their. experience, able
to point out Wherein the interests
Of the Indians mightsuffer, should
have weight with those who are
appointed to protect these inter
ests. We have heard some val
liable suggestions regarding the
Morris Act recently, among which
is. that whenever a tract of pine
timber which has bceM sold for a
price much lower than the forty
acre tract adjoining it, the super
intendents of1oggingsshould care
fully guard against any of the
timber being ttransferred from
the higher priced tract to the
lower priced one: If the super
intendents do their duty it would
BE impossible for this to he done.
But even if a superintendent WAS
consciensciouslS trying to do his
duty, a CASUAL glance over both
tracts might hot be sufficient to en-
able him to determine upon which
tract the timber had really been
cut, the higher priced tract or
the lower priced one. Thus it can
he. seen that too much care cannot
be used in Watching all the de-
tails connected with the logging
operations under the act.

ClAPP'S Plan FAVORED
Amendent Permitting Chippewas to Dis
pose Of Timber on kllotments
Reported Upsa'

Washington, Feb. 5.-Senator
Clapp today secured favorable
report upon his:amendment to the
Indian appropriation bill permit
ing tile Chippewa Indians ia
Minnesota to dispose Of timber on
their al1otments Under regulations
to be prescribed BIZ the secretary
of the interior. -
The funds received by the In
dians for lumber from their allot-
ments is to be disposed of by the
secretary fortheir benefit MINI
eapolis Tribune.
The proposition contained in
the Clapp bill above referred to-,
is a good one and meets with the
general approval of the members
of this reservation, SO far as it
applies to the sale of allotment
timber. There are, however,
strong objections to thc<>propos-
itiqn to permit the secretary of
the interior to expend the funds
accruing from the sale of this
timber for the benefit of the In
dians'' in manner in which he
will be the sole Judge; and to the
policy Of prescribing rules for
selling the timber without regard
to the different conditions Of: the
mehbers.* of the band effected.
The bill. proposes to deal in the
same manner with the allotment
of college or high school grad
uate with good business educa-
tion,. that it does with an ignorant
uneducated blanket Indian. The
male adults of this reservation;
who are better able to protect
their interests than the depart
officials are to do it for them, are
largely in the majority, but when
ever they have to contend with
the rules which the governments
policy places over theln,, they
immedietly become as helpless to
protect themselves from fraud or
collusion as the most ignorant
member of their tribe. 1t would
be more advantageous to the in
terests of the : allottees, who can
protect their interests, to not per-
nit the timber on their allotments
to be sold than to have the officials
OF the department sell it for them
under rules to be prescribed by
the secretary for these rules
mean large saleries to political
favorites who would be- employed
to superintend the cutting and
sale of the timber and which sal
cries, undoubtedly, would be de-
tlucted from the funds ofallottees.

Mas Charlotte bod, the golf champion of
Great Britain, made her second appearance on a

Club, and in spite of apses in form she made
a slightly more favorable impression than on the
occasion Of the first match at Garden City on
