take in the laws made by congress
in relation to Indians is. that there
are no distinction made in exist

The government claims that it

every opportunity for them to
become such by placing restric-

''S0ONERS DISC0URAC
Ed.

A Cass Lake special to the
Duluth News Tribune states that
CONSERVATION reians among the
"sooners" who had made settle
mef,t on the Chippewa lands, on
account of the drastic order of the
secretary of the Interior against
the recognition Of any rights
claimed by those who may make
such settlement prior to the date
fixed in the order opening the
lands.
It is further stated that great
loss will be suffered by the settlers
by the secretary's stringent order
on account of the substantial
buildings and other structures
that were being put up by them.
The Settlers have been taking
some big chances Of doing a great
deal of work for nothing, for the
Indian agent at Leech Lake. it is
understood is still making allot,
ments to the Indians who have
not yet received their allotments,
and if some of these should hap
pen to select the tracts upon which
q sooner" has his improvements,
the latter would lose not only
the land but the improve
uents also. In the end
these 'sooners'' may find
that the action of the secretary,
who has no option but to follow
the law, was as much for their
protection as otherwise.

THREATENS SUIT.

he alleges f. 'w ! fair share OF
the attorn"y's fees. provided for
in the item an"E"r;'!ating $1,000.
600 for the payment Of the Turtle
Mountain Indian claims. Messrs.
O'Grady & Maddux were to get
$42, 600 fee and it is understood
they were to give Bottineau IS, 600
Of this He claims AT least $40, 500
as we'll as $27, 900, WHICH he alleges
he expended for the Indians. w.
W. JermAne in Mpls. Journal,
Forty-two thousand dollars to
O'Grady & Maddux, tvo republi-
politicians Of New York, and -,
600, to William W. Anderson,
also politician from North Dako-
tn. who will receive fees from the
Turtle Mountains Indian fund, is 4
good deal of money to give to men
who have not done y single thing
in behalf Of the Indians. Instead
of giving these politicians the fee
it should have ali been paid to j.
Il. Bottineau, who has worked
long and faithfully for the Turtle
Mountain and other Indians who
are interested in the claim. Had
1t not been for him they would
never have been able to establish
their rights or present their claims
jntclligently,
Fifty thousand dollars would
have been small compensation for
the work Mr.. Bottineau has done
for the Indians when taken into
consideration that it cost him over
half the amount for expenses.
We would advise the Indians to
reject the provision for the pay
ment of any fees to O'Grady,
Maddux and Anderson. for these
men have done absolutely nothing
favorable to their interests. 1t
was not through their efforts that
81 900, 600 has been appropriated
by congress at this time, for the gov
eminent has been anxious to pay
the Indians this amount since
1892, when an agreement to this
effect WAS made with them. MIR.
Bottineau has contended all the
time that the Indians should re-
ceive more than 81, 100000 for
II 900, 900 acres of land Which the
government took from them, and
his opposition on this account has
caused the delay in the settlement.
There has not been year that he
could not have secured the passage
Of an appropriation forthe amount
which has just been appropriated,
had he thought it was fair to the
Indians.

AN URGENT NECEs-
S|TY.

The experience of the past year
should convince the Chippewas OF
Minnesota of the Il .ssity and
Importance of securing the per
manent services of an attorney to
look after their tribal and other
interests both in this state and at
Washington, D: G,
Legislation has been passed by
congress within the past two years
which will not be entirely favor
able to the Ohippewas. and like:
wise departmental proclamations.
This was easily accomplished be-
cause the Indians were not repre-
sented at Washington by attor-
neys. Whenever any conflict OF
interests have arisen between tn,
white settlers and the Indians il
this state, the former invariably
got the best of the latter, and this
was because they have had pai,i
representatives at Washington t
look after their interests and th'
Indians have had none.
There is not day that passc>
without some. question arise:
which require the services Of as
attorney to present and straighten.
1t is undoubtedly the wish ofal-
most every person ON this resers; :
tion to employ an attorney by th,
year to look after tribal and other
interests, but no steps have been
taken to consumate this wish.
Other Indian tribes have found
it to their great advantage to
employ attorneys and to pay them
good saleries. but the Chippewas,
who have probably the most IN
portant interests to look after just
at present, have contcnted them
selves with discussion Of Tie
matter with occasional PROPOSE
tions to take it up at some future
time,
Whatever disappointment the
Chippewas may have had in the
temporary employment of at
torneys heretofore, it should not
now be in the way of employing
another attorney permanently or
for such length of time as may be
!eemed to the advantage OF the
tribe, who may properly and un-
remittingly look after tribal and
other interests,

TO SELL ALLOTMENT
timber.

The Indian appropriation act
which became law on the Dist, of
this month contains the following
amendment; THE Chippewa In
dians Of the State of Minnesota to
whom allotments have been or
shall hereafter be made, and trust
or other patents, containing re-
strictions upon alienation issued
or which shall hereafter be issued
therefor, are, with the consent of
the Secretary of the Interior and
under such rules and regulations
as he may prescribe, hereby
authorized to dispose Of the tim
Der on their respective alIotments.
Timber on the allotments of
minors may likewise be sold by
the father, mother, or Indian
agent or other officer in charge,
in the order named, and the Secre-
tary of the Interior shall make
such regulations for the disposi-
ton of the proceeds Of said sales
as may be necessary to protect the
interests of said Indians, -includ-
ing minors. ;"
1t is damnable policy which
places competent business men at
a disadvantage, and takes from
them the right to do business
without the consent, very often,
of incompetent officials. 1t is
true that there are some old In
dians who are incompetent to
look after their personal interests,
but they are largely in the min
ority as compared to those on this
reservation who are as good busi-
ness men as can be found in any

nance will be brought In At tho next

street from outside rail 60 outside

between the two tracks, which will

A member Of the board Of works
said today that be was in favor OF
double tracks. at 10 evident "a

double tracks right now. II We
didn't, however, we would need

CHAMP CLARK AND KENTUCKY
with Some References TO the Caleb Pow

From the indianapolis NewS)
We note that the Hon. Champ Clark
of Missouri. is greatly distressed be-
cause the governor Of Indiana has thus
far refused to deliver ". ;. Taylor To |
the kentucky authorities. Mr.. Clark |
should not get excited over this qucs-
tion. The Democrats OF this state crit
,,ized Governor Durbin for many things
in the platform recently adopted by
their state convention, but they were
silent concerning the Taylor ease. And
they did well to be silent. whatever
individual speakers may see ht to say
I the question Is not an issue m tins

she is able and willing to give iair
| trial To Caleb Powers il will be time
enough 10 talk Of surwndering Taylor
| But Champ CLARK is very positive IN
/ hi. views In the course of his dcbate
with Charles H. Lands saturday he
said. I'm say that Bin Taylor richly
deserves to be hung. Get him back to
I Kentucky and hang him. The people
of Indiana may be parloncd for de
.lining to take Mr. Clark's word for It,
They do not know that Taylor "de-
serves to be hung and they do not
I think that CLARK knows this, either.

NEW ORDINANCES

OF THE COURT.

Last night the license committee of

decided to revise the LICENSE ordi.
nance so as to conform as much a 5
possible to the decisions of the courts
relative to license matters here. The
members are Aldermen Smith, Single

ellison, Hymarsh, and Smedley.
The committee agreed TO meet
again shortly and take this matter mp,
make 3 complete revision and have
new ordinances drawn to 90 into
effect the first Of the year 1905.
There have been several decisions
regarding our license law recently,
one member OF the committee stated
today, which are against the city, and
we desire TO have none of our ordi-
