OFFICIAL TOWNSHIP.

The promoters Of the townsite
of Richards on the Mississippi
Chippewa ceded reservation, Who.
we are informed, include some Of
the government officials, are max"
ind vigorous dHht to seeure a
tract of land for townsite pur-
poses which contains, it is stated,
several hundred thousand feet of
pine timber. If there issas much
timber Us clainleu on the tract, the
question which naturally suggests
itself is whether this timber was
included in the appraisals OF the
pine land examiners since the
chief of the corps is ohe of the
interested persohs in the townsite.
When the census of the town
site was taken, the school children
of Cass Lake and the Bena Indian
school were furnished transporta-
tion to visit the tuwnsite, and our
informant states, were Included
in the census, no doubt for the
pirpose of creating the impression
among the officials ut Washington
that it ts d thriving village.
In order to create d sentiment
in favor of the townsite of Riehs
ards, also for the burbose Of ere
ating the impressieh that there is
reallya town there; one of it's
most active promoters, A. e..
Bernard, recently wrote II. r.
Cobb, late editor Of the Grand
Rapids Herald Review; and which
letter was found by the present
owners Of that paper and pub.
lished: We here reproduce it.

know whether YOU will+bt able to
control d line in the Magnet after
this. If you will. kindly print
something LIKE this! -,
We know very little Of The
merits Of the controversy between
the two tdwnsites, Richards and
Bena. We know the occupants Of
the former presented proof, and
it was accepted, and recently we
saw a letter from the commiss-
ioher Of the general land; Office In
which he refused to recognize the
rights of the squatters5Dfs Bena.
All this being true we do not see
what claim the squatters of Bena
have for futher consideration.
Would not ask this had it not
been for the article in last issue of
Herald Review yclept Richards
Rooters." Am not feeling any
better. With kindest regards,
Fraternally yours.

Washington, D. G. Feb. 23.-A.
G. Weiss, G. G. Hartley and Mile
Bunnell Of Duluth, who came over
to Washington from New York the
latter part Of last week are locat-
ed at the Arlington hotel.
Recently Messrs. Buhhell and
Hartley called Upon, Land Com
missioner Richards relative to
opening up the agricultural lands
in the Leech Lake, Winnebego-
shish, White Oak Point and Cass
Lake, Chippewa Indians teser-
vations.
The interior department., how
ever, has been inclined to Withhold
all this land from settlement until
the pine timber is cut and sold,
which would be a number of years
hence.
1t was pointed out tp commiss-
ioner Richardsto combat the arg
ument that settlers might start
fires and burn the timber, that it
has been the experience of that
country that the fires are gener-
ally along the lines Of railroads
and are" caused by dying sparks
from engines ahd that it is to. the
personal Interest of the settlers to
extingush them as soon az they
are discovered:
Messrs. Bunnell and Hartley
showed that it would be to the
best interest of the department to
open up the lands for settlement
as this would offer the best pro-
lection to the timber and would
be more effective than the system
of paid fire wardens:
The Result Nf this conference
was that Commissioner Richards
ordered the immediate opening of
the lands for settlement:
Under the Morris law only 80
days notice is required for the
opening of the land to settlement.
1t was discovered, by A. G. Shaw,
chief Of the public land division
who was called into the the con
ference that the allotn1ents to in
dividual Indians has not vet been
completed. Mr.: Bunnell and Mr..
Hartley, when informed Of this
condition of affairs called upon
Indian Commissioner: Jones, who
expressed himself as favbrihg the
opening,of the lands. He at once
wrote a!letter to Major Scott, In
dian Agent at Leech Lake tofinish
withont delay the alloting Of lands
the thousand Indians and to
notify the department when this
had been completed. The Indian
department will notify without
delay, the commissioner of the
general land office 50 that NO time
will be lost in opening up the agri-
cultural land to settlement:
It has been discovered that the
area reserved by the bureau of
forestry of the departmental agri-
culture, for forest reserve pur-
poses in Leech Lake, Winnebig-
oshish, White Oak Point and Cass
Lake Chippewa Indian reserva-
tions cover from 100000 to 400,
600 acres while the Morris law
provides for only 100000 acres.
The reason given for the addition.
al acreage taken by the bureau of
forestry is that it is needed for
fowage for rising the dam ut the
outlet of Lake Winnebegoshish.
Messrs. Bunnell and Hartley

ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 19.-The
reports that General Kuroki is push.
ing on northeast of Mukden are not
borne out by official kilograms that
have been received here, According
to the latest advices, the Japanese
forces continue to increase at Bianl
upuza and Yentai. A decisive advance
in the direction of Mukden is therefore
not expected to occur for some days,
Meanwhile indications increase of the
probability of the Japanese meeting
with resistance.
The Russian forces at Mukden un.
dOubtedly are very large. and every
days delay enables the commander in
chief to perfect his defenses \ pri
vate telegram from Mukden reports
the arrival there of an immense train
filed with cOnvaescents returning to
duty. This may he regarded rs good
evidence of large concentration OF
troops at Mukden
The same correspondent, describing
scenes at Tie pass, notes extraordinary
animation there. The great COncourSC
of visitors there and the fact that the.
utrical performances and open air con.
certs are of daily occurrence hardly
indicates that the town is expecting an
immediate attack.
