TOWNSHIP MAPS OF
WHITE EARTH,

1t will be absolutely necessary
for all those who are entitled to on
additional allotment of land un-
der the Steencrson act, to secure
township maps Of this reservation,
and they should cali at the Amcri-
can Land Company's Office, in the
TOMAlIAwX office building, and
leave their orders. These rnnrs
cannot be obtained elsewhere cx-
cept at the office Of the Indian
agent who cannot allow them, un-
der strict rule of the interior
department, to be copied or giyej!
out. The map which wiIibe sold
from the American Land Com
pany's office will show all the un-
allotted tracts on this reservation.
The price of the maps will be very
reasonable, but in order to secure
them in time orders should be
given immcdietly.

"BUG" WILL Be HERE

Bug-on-ay-geshig "The I'm
conquored' will attend the 14th,
of June celebration here. This
will be the first time, since tho
Chippewa outbreak at Lecch Lake,
that Bug will have taken part in
any celebration where he will be
thrown in contact with the whites.
He intends to come here to join in
the festivities of the occasion and
to smoke the Pipe of Peace with
his red and white friends. He
will be accompanied by q large
delegation Of Pillagor Chippewas

LAND SELLING SLOWLY.

The inherited land on this res
ervation has not been selling as
rapidly as was anticipated when
the law Of 1902, was passed which
gives the heirs of deceased allot-
tees the right to sell these lands.
AS soon as the law was passed
several land companies were or
ganized for the purpose of buying
the inherited lands on this reser-
walton, but after they began to
operate they found the rules pre-
scribed by the secretary of the in
terror so impracticable and sus-
ceptible to combinations that there
could be nolegitimate competition,
so they withdrew from the reser-
walton and have not since attempt
ed to operate here. Although the
rules have since been amended SO
that all parties concerned in either
the sale or purchase of Inherited
lands can protect their interests,
there seems to be no gen
eral demand for it, A few bids
for the best tracts have been made
and some of these have been so
low that the agent has refused to
accept them. The greatest OBJ
lection of bidders is that after the
bids are accepted and the deeds
are signed, the purchasers of the
land have to wait SO long for the
approval of the deeds by the sec
retary of the interior that they
are sometimes subjected to loss
by not being able to make use Of
either the land or the money
they have deposited.

Governor Van SAINT has issued a
proclamation making June 14th,

ary of the settlement of this reser-

Grand Adoption Ceremony BY the
Chippewas Of Minnesota:
MinResota's Popular Congress-
man to be Adopted
June "A.
All the Leading Chiefs and WM-
riors of the Chippewa Tribe
To Take Part.

To the Indian mind, the most
fitting tribute to Congressman
Steenerson's glorious work in be-
half of the Indians during the
past year, is to adopt him as a
member OF the Chippewa tribe for
which he has done SO much in
such a short time.
The adoption ceremony of the
Indians is not familiar one even
among them, and nearly all Of the
younger element Of the tribe into
which Mr.. Steenerson will be
adopted will see it for the first
time.
Inasmuch as we have never
seen the ceremony of adoption by
tribe of Indians, we arc un@hIe
to enli9hten our readers in this
respect.
We have learned enough about
the matter however to know that
it will be not only the greatest
event Of the 36th, anniversary Of
the settlement of the Chippewas
on this reservation, but it will be
one Of the greatest events in the
history of the Chippewa tribe.

MAJOR SCOTT TO QUIT
NEW ORDER ISSUED BY SECRETARY
HITCHCOCK,
When Appointment Of Indian Agent Ex-
pIfes He Will be Suppianted by Bonded
SuperInteadent--No More Army Officers
To be Appointed as Indian Agents.

Washington, June 2.--As re-
suit Of the recent conference be-
tween the president and the score.
tary of the interior it was decided
that when the appointment OF al
Indian agent expires he will be
supplanted by a bonded superin'
tendent and also that no more
regular army officers will be ap'
pointed in the Indian service.
Upon the expiration of the four
year detail of those already in
service they will be ordered back
to their regiments.
This will mean that Maj. Scott,
Indian agent at Leech Lake, upon
the expiration OF his present de.
tail, will be removed from his
position. Minneapolis Tribune.
The Indians will not regret the
retirement of army officers as
their agents.
The experience of the Chippe-
was has been any thing but salts
factory with these military agents.
AS rule army officers are not
men of policy and their training
makes them extremely overbear-
ing and arbitrary. They insist
Upon the enforcement of their
orders at all hazards and whether
the same are in conformity with
the laws which are presumed to
be their guide.
Major Scott, unlike his prede-
cessor, has at least given an honest
administration, and this is one
great thing in his favor surround
ed as be has been by the tempta-
ton to speculate. But notwith-
standing this, he is not as popular
with the Indians under his charge
as he should be. Their complaint
is that he has the fault Of being
too arbitrary and is to free with
the use of the agency Jail.
The proposition to supplant In
dian agents by bonded superinten-
dents is not a good one. These
superintendents a. rule are not
practical business men. Any man
can become a superintendent OF
an Indian school who can pass a
civil service examination, and bee
good educator without having any
executive ability, but an agent
must, in order to have successful
administration, be a first class
business man and be conservative
and considerable in his treatment
of the Indians under his charge.
The care and education of lot
of Indian children is one thing and
to have charge of an Indian agency
is another, and we believe the
present method of appointing
civilians as agents, upon the reco-
mendation of United States senat-
ors, is much better than any plan
that has been tried or suggested.
These senators can be relied on &c
recommend only men of good ex-
ecutive ability and standing.

District Democrats are not a little
interested in the breach which seems
to have occurred between Senator Cor
man and Governor Warield. 1t is now
apparent to all that these two dis
tinguished Maryland Democrats have
come 20 the parting of the ways politi-
cally, and much regret is expressed
over the fact
so pronounced are their differences
that there is no longer any doubt that
the governor viii be left off the list of
delegates chosen by the State convention
on Thursday TO go to St. LOUIS. Such a
slight TO the governor of the State is
most unusual, yet the situation is such
that Senator Germans friends declare
that he is entirely warranted in making
up the slate without regard to the gov
ernor.
1t was Senator German who made it
possible for Governor Warfield to at
tain his ambition to become the chief
executive of the State. and who worked
diligently for his election. Various acts
Of the governor have practically placed
him out of harmony with the State
organization of which the Senator is
the recognized head.
Relations Estranged.
There is now no attempt made to con-
ceal the fact that their relations are
estranged. The first break came when
the governor disapproved Of the consti-
tutional amendments regarding suffrage,
but was widened when the governor
refused to heed the suggestions of the
Senator regarding appointments. and. in
fact, has gone contrary to Senator Cor
mans expressed desires. So strong II

scramble for existence. If one or two
OF these churches go UP, 1t is because
others have gone down. All cannot live
and grow at the same time. The reason
Is obvious. They witness so much Of
the Christless spirit which manifests
Itself in 1ealOusies and competition. and
not infrequently in downright opposi-
tior among the churches toward each
other, that they lose faith In them ali
sometimes In Christianity Itself.
Division of Effort.
There Is absolutely no good reason
why a half dozen churches should be
established in the same neighborhood. 20
do the same kind OF work. among the
same people.
THE fact Is. Professionalism is over
organized. Our machinery Is too pom
derous and complex 1t requires so mucn
energy and money TO keep IL going
that we have little to use beyond the
machinery itself. Think of the mis-
sionary and church extension societies,
of the publishing plants, colleges, theo-
logical seminaries. and great number
and variety OF other benevolent insti-
buttons which are fairly piled upon each
other. 80 wonder there Is friction and
great waste. nor need we be surprised
that level-headed business laymen are
getting weary OF seeing their money
wasted. and are beginning to seek q
remedy
In the case of the Congregational,
Methodist Protestant, and United Breth-
rem Churches" continued DR.. Weekly
after speaking Of the advantages Of a
union. ''it IS feared they will not be able
