The ToMAHAwK Has besns cen.
sistaat opponent to the segregation
of : large portion ofl the tribal
lands Of chs CAippewas at Lseeh,
Oass and Wianebegoish lakes for
forestry OF park purposes. The
basis Of this opposition was the
eonfiscation Of so much Indian
land without drs compensation
therefor, and not because We
cared whether it was opened to
settlements or not.
If congress had made an appro-
prlatien Of : sufficient amount 10
pay for tho lands which il arbi-
tRarily took for experimental pur-
poses when it passed the Morris
Act, the Indians would have felt
that their interests had been CON
sidered and that tho government
was not trying "a over reach
them. Ills now two years since
the Norris cot was passed yet ne
steps have been taken by the park
promoters to right the wrong they
did the Indians whose property
was confiscated upon their urgent
appeals.
The Tomahawk in its last issue
published q petition which did
not find its origin upon this res
ervation, but is plainly . Csss
Lake production.
But notwithstanding that our
white friends wish to use the
Chippevas AZ ''Catspaws'' to get
the park or forestry lsnds opened
to settlements, the latter should
not hesitate to cooperate with
the former il their efforts to &C.
cure the opsnin9 Of the lands if
the settlers will not lose sight Of
the interests of their proposed
allies in the matter 1T 4slFs ,:,qs.-. 81,

nuN's CONSPIRACY. ISL

There is Q class Of voters whose
allegiance and obligations to Sen.
ator Clapp comet be effected by
the opposition Of the Dunn crowd,
and these are the Republican
braves among the Chippewas in
this state.
Reservation Republicans and
Democrats will probably join in
voting for candidate for the Log
isleture who will declare in favor
of Senator Clapp, as they will
vote against ''Hopest q Bot
Dunp'' their enemy.
The Standard osnnot say any.
thing that will prejudice the voters
in this part Of Becker county
aga(nst Senator Clapp, and, few il
any will take any stock in the
statement that he Is controlled by
the Standard Oil Company,

DESTROY DEAD ANIMALS
Details Of How tn Dispose OF Bodies Of
Diseased Animals


Two methods Of disposing Of the
bodies OF animals dying OF contagious
diseases are recommended by the de-
partment OF agriculture. The first is
by deep burying with the free use of
lime, and the other and more advis-
able method, especially in cases OF
CHAMBERS, blackleg. anthrax or hog
cholera, is by burning. A bulletin on
this subject says: ut Is almost no
trouble to burn a hog. a few sticks of
wood and a quart Of coal oil being
sufficient to start the carcass to con-
Stunning itself. A horse or steer can be
rolled up on four or five old fence posts
to make a draught under it and then
with an old axe cut holes to allow the
pouring Of coal oil into the abdominal
cavity and lungs. Two gallons will be
about as much as necessary in ordinary
sized animals. Let the body lay an
hour to allow the oil to penetrate.
throw on a few arm-loads of old
boards or any kind of wood. also a few
bundles of corn stalks or some straw.
Sprinkle with another half gallon OF
oil and fire"

Tho Japanese Land 10000 Men at PorSl
Adams aud Raise Havoc
A dispatch to the Associated press
from st. Petersburg says:
"A dispatch received says that PORT
Arthur is cut off from all communica-
tons by land, the Japanese having
disembarked in its rear. occupied the
railroad and cut the telegraph. Vice
Admiral Skrydlor, who is en- route to
Port Arthur to take command of the
naval forces in the far east, will be UNI
able to reach his destination"
Two distinct landing operations by
the Japanese In the vicinity OF Port
Arthur are reported in dispatches to
the Associated press. According to
cables from Toxic and st. Petersburg.
the Japanese effected a landing in force
and unopposed at Pitsewo. a point on
the east coast OF the peninsula about
seventy-five miles above Port Arthur.
Another successful landing is reported
to have taken place at Port Adams.
which is situated on an arm of Society
bay on the west coast of the peninsula.
directly opposite and about twenty
miles distant from Pitsewo. The rail-
road that connects Port Arthur with
Mukden passes close to Port Adams.
and it is evident that it is now in the
possession of the Japanese at this
point.
1t was because he was convinced
that Port Arthur vas about to be Gu.
off that Viceroy Alexieff. accompanied
by his staff and Grand Duke Boris. left
hastily. Several t%rainloads Of sick and
wounded and other ineffectives were
dispatched northward.
The Japanese landing at Pitsewo Is
expected to be followed almost imme-
diately by the isolation of Port Ar
thur. Landings on the west coast OF
the peninsula are also anticipated. The
Russian military authorities seem rec
onciled to the cutting off OF their
stronghold. but they are convinced that
the fortress is impregnable against at
tack by land or sea.

FENC WANG CHENC FALLS
Chinese Follow up Tactics Pursued Du-
trolls Territory They Want

Vice Admiral Togo's recital OF the
latest engagement of Port Arthur,
which was received at Toxic. shows
that the japanese have blocked the en-
trance to the harbor.
After the b~lockading Hotilla had been
scattered by a gale and the commander
OF the 1otilla had signallein vain that
the attempt be abandoned, pending the
moderation OF the storm. the crews of
the separated ships, in no wise daunt-
ed by the weather which threatened
them and separated them from their
companions. proceeded to the work on
their own desperate initiative. They
forced their way forward in the face
of the Russian fire. which was more
deadly thar ever before as a result of
the improved Russian defenses. over
the field of mines. Many of these ex-
ploded. yet five out of the Japanese
b%lockading ships were jammed into the
inner channel, and now prevent pro-
gress from the harbor to all crafts ex-
cepting small boats.
This attack exceeded all its prede-
cessors in desperation, and the cour-
age displayed by the volunteer crews
is equal to that shown in any event in
the war history of the world.
When the Yedo-Maru reached the
mouth Of the passage and was lower
ing her anchor. her captain. Com
mander T%akayangi. was shot through
the stomach and killed. Sub-Lieutenant
, Nagata succeeded to the command. He
anchored the Yedo-Maru and sank her.
Two other stone-laden steamers. be-
lieved to be the Otaru-Muru and the
Sagami-Maru, then entered the mouth
Of the harbor and sank.
The Totomi- Maru collided with q
d boom. This turned her stem to tn,
