INDIAN TIMBER CUT
SAVES LIVES.
Agent Miche|et Says Charges Escaped
Hunger by Logging Operations.

Minneapolis, Mimi, March 10
Major Simon T. Michelet, In
dian agent at White Earth Indian
agency. who was in the city yes
terday comforting with Joseph r.
l1arr, general superintendent of
logging operations for the inter
Tor department. says that the con-
dition Of the Indians in the north
west the past winter has been the
worst in their experience.
On the White Earth reservation
there has been but little suffering
because Of the logging operations
that have been carried on employ
ing nearly all the able bodied In
dians, while the old and feeble
ones have been comfortably
housed and cared for in the home
for the aged ones that is located
at the agency,
During the winter the Indians
nave cat about six and a half mill
ion feet Of lumber, five million
being dead and down, which will
be sold and one and half million
which is to be sawed where felled
and utilized in building houses for
lile Mile Lac Chippewas who will
remove to the White Earth reser-
,yation in the spring. All Of the
labor in the pineries at White
Earth has been performed by the
thippeWas and they will also,
with the assistance of portable
saw. get the lumber out this
spring.
Several Mile Laces have already
moved TO the White Earth reser-
vation. Some of the Indians have
been able to trap musllrats, that
have found ready sale and al
though the SHOWS have been very
heavy they have also been able to
do a little hunting, but the logging
was their chief source of income.
The policy OF Commissioner Jones
of the Indian department has
been to supply all of those with
work who applied for it and as
most of them were willing the
policy worked we'll,
Those who have taken up their
llotments are looking forward to
the near approach of the 500 rail
road which will cross the reser-
yation this summer. At present
all of their produce has to be
hauled from twenty to forty miles
to market, but when the 500 gets
into the reservation they will be
AS near the market as are their
white neighbors residing outside
it's limits. The contractors will
begin operations at Otter Tail on
the first of next month and it is
thelhope of a number of Indians
that they may be employed in
I grading and track laying, at least
while it is being built across the
! reservation.
i Soon after the St. Louis expos
ition opens Major Michelet, by
order of the interior department
will select about fifteen reprcsen,
tative Chippewas from the large
, number under his charge and will
take them to the fair where they
will, remain as part of the govern.
ment exhibit until its close. They
will take along their tepees ano
i birch bark houses, their papooses
and cooking utensils and bead
work. The Major will see that
they are comfortably located anc

hence the pressure of the sap is
greater from above than from be-

down again, and the flow gradually
ceases, freeze occurs and there
is found to be no pressure from
within, but instead a suction.
These changes are recorded by
the pressure gauges.
AS the season advances the con-

The material from which the
sugar issmade is elaborated by the
leaves during the growing season,
from the carbonic acid OF the air
with the aid of sunlight. and is
stored up in the form OF starch.
Hence the character of the season
as to the amount of sunshine; the
vigor of the tree, it's leaf devel-
opment and exposure to the light,
are important factors in determ-
ining the yield ofsugar the follow
ing spring. The sap in January
and February is quite different
from that in March and April. In
the latter months much of the
stored-up starch is changed into
sugar, and the sap in the outer
conducting tissues of the tree be-
comes an almost pure solution OF
sugar. This is coineident with
the sugaring season. and is the
otfort of the tree to feed the grow
ing parts.
There has been much speculation

tapping, which isa sort OF bleed
ING operation and takes away a
portion Of the stored up nourish-
] inent of the tree. The average
sugar maple is estimated to carry
Appropriately thirty-five pounds OF

Maple Sugar Making:
conducted on o5 600 Farms in the United
DR., A, c, True.

The art of making maple sugar
dates back to the early pioneer
days of New. England, and even
before that. for it was practiced
by the American Indians. The
settlers in Vermont learned it
from them. and depended almost
entirely upon the maple for their
domestic sugar supply, Indeed,
within generation or SO, it Was
used to a considerable extent in
place of common sugar in localities
! where it was made. 1t is strict
ly American industry, as the sug-
ar maple does not grow naturally
in Europe; and in the minds Of
many is perhaps more closely as
sociated with sentiment than most
any other branch of farm work.
A generation ago the sugar
season was regular part Of the
yearly programme in certain regi-
ons, and 'sugaring'' was an inn
| portant source of revenue to the
| farmers, Although the place of
maple sugar and syrup in the do
mestic economy has materially
changed, and these products have
been adulterated and initiated to
an extent calculated to drive the
pure article entirely out of the
market, the industry has persisted
and has not become largely a
specialized business devoted to the
production of what has become a
luxury. !.
The returns of the last census
show that sugar making is carried
on upon nearly $4,000 farms. and
represents money value in the
llproducts. Of upwards OF ~. .0O0, 600

sugar crop is placed at approx

season. The last census year,

owing to unfavorable weather and
the prevalence of the forest tent
caterpiller, which defoliated the
trees, the crop fell to less than

| While improvements have beer
|made in the mechanical operations
of the industry over the primitive
methods formerly employed, very
little has been definitely known
about the theories of the flow oi
/ sap and the conditions influencing
it. These, of courese, must lie al
the bottom of intelligent sugar
making. The Vermont Expert
lment station has just completed
an extensive series of investiga
tions on this subject. the first il

roots and different parts of tht

the pressure Of the sap and th'

The Big 4 poultry plant has been

big industry. There are at all times
from 1900 to 1900 Leghorn hens at
tending strictly to their vocation of
supplying eggs to the citizens. In adj

chickens and eggs produced by out
side parties. The prices paid have in
variably been at least equal to. and
generally higher than could be OBJ
tanned elsewhere. The conduct of this
plant has made Mr.. Haigler's name of
more than local celebrity, and as an
