THIS is LEAP. YEAR.

The ladies of White Earth
should take advantage of the pre-
negatives which custom accords to
them during leap years, and as
this is leap year they should
show the young men of this reser-
vation that the latter lack only
the funeral services to put them
where they belong. 1t may be
that the ladies do not want dead
ones" bat for humanity sake, they
should get up some good entertain
ments and in this way put a little
life in the young men, and thus
save funeral expenses.
Judging from their success in
the past. we know of several ladies
who do not live more than two or
three miles from here who, if they
take hold. would make this winter
a round of pleasure.

An Accounting Wanted.

Since 1889, congress has made
annual appropriations Of $780, 600,
for the benefit of the ChippeWas
of Minnesota, reimbursable from
the proceeds Of sale of their
land and timber on coded resefva-
tions.
"A total OF. two million one stur-
bred thousand dollars has been APP.
propriated and expended. What
has become of this vast amount OF
money! The Indians have re-
ceived practically a very small
portion of it, and now an account
ing, as provided by the act OF
1889, is in order:
The expenditure of Indian funds,
in order to furnish employment III
sinccure positions to political fav-
orites, should be stopped: the
Chippewas should take some steps
to try and accomplish this other

TREATIES DISREeARDED.

BY a recent decision of Secre-
tary Hitchcock the State of Min
nesota acquires all the tracts which
it has classed as swamp lands on
the Chippewa coded reservations.
This decision is in direct con-
fict with the several treaties which
the United States has made with
the Chippewas.
In 1864, the Chippews of the
Mississippi coded to the United
States the reservations of Gull
Lake, Mile Lac, Sandy Lake,
Rabbit Lake. Pokagama Lake and
Rice Lake. In consideration OF
this cession the United States set
apart for these Indians the follow
ing tract of land:
Beginning at a point one mile
south of the most southerly point
of Leeck Lake, and running thence
in an easterly course toa point one
mile south of the most southerly
point of Goose Lake: thence due
east to point due south from the

ervation and the Mississippi River;

INDIAN SCALER.

A Washington special to the
Minneapolis journal of the 2nd.,
states thai;
''William Bonga, interpreter at
the Leech Lake Agency, has been
appointed scaler of logs on the
Leech Lake reservation as repre-
sentative of the Indians, under the
provision Of the Morris Act autho-
rizing the appointment OF an In
dian check scaler.
The secretary of the interior has
ignored the Indians and the law in
the appointment of William Bonga
as q check scaler, for the Indians
are so strongly opposed to the lat
ter that his appointment would
never have been made with their
consent.
The Norris Act under which the
appointment was made is as fol-
lows: ''And the Secretary of the
Interior may, at the request of the
chiefs of said bands or tribes OF
Chippewa Indians OF the State OF
Minnesota interested in said tim
her sales, appoint check scaiers to
verify and inspect the work OF the
Government scalers; the said check
scalers to be designated BY said
chiefs and paid out of the funds OF
the Indians such compensation as
may be fixed by the Secretary Of
the Interior"
From charitable point Of view
Bonga's appointment may be all
right, for he is an object of charity:
but for the purpose Of protecting
the interests of the Indians he is
entirely incapable of doing SO.
Bonga has neither the experience
or necessary education to be able
to protect the Indian interests.
It seems to be the object of
those who have the administration
of Che Morris Act in charge to not
give the Indians any chance what
ever of knowing how the whole
scheme is being conducted. The
law contemplates giving the In
dams the right to say W h o
heir check scalers s h a |
be, but by the appointment of
Bonga the secretary of the inter-
Tor arbitrarily. takes this right
away from them.

IMPROVE YOUR TIMBER
ALLOTNENTS.

A IN isapprehension has existed
here regarding the right Of nllot-
tees to cut the timbe: ., their re-
spectiye allotments. The impress
sion has existed that no one could
cut the timber for any purpose fol
the period Of twenty five years.
This is not fact, however, for an
allottee may cut the timber on his
allotment for the express purpose
Of improving the land, and ito
such an extent as may be reason
able under the circumstances.
Any timber that is thus right
fully severed from an allotMep,
may also be sold to prevent waste.
In order to be able to cut the
timber without any danger of be
ing prosecuted, an application
must be made to the Indian agent,
who submits it to the department
with his recommendations.
For a year or more, some OF the
Indians at Leech Lake have been
ngadvantage of their right to
cut the timber on their lands, and
which timber they have sold, and
the funds thus derived have been
used to improve the lands from
which the timber was cut.

THE GAR DENIES.

Secretary Hitchcock has denied
that he will take further steps to
suppress Gus Beaulieu's paper,
the ToMAHAwk, published at White
Earth. Officials of the depart
ment and others with whom he
talked about the suppression adj
vised him their was no ground for
such radical action and the whole
matter has been dropped. . Min
neapolis Journal.
We are not looking for trouble,
but we were looking forward with
some degree of satisfaction to, the
time when the secretary would
have attempted to suppress the
ToMAHAwk, for this would have
given us the opportunity to justify
ourselves in court in regard to our
stand in relation to the Morris
Act, and. as our articles would
necessarily have been introduced
in evidence, we have no doubt that
we would have been able to con-
vince jury that we are right.
As to our right to publish a
newspaper on this reservation, the
United States circuit court passed
upon this in 1887. One of the
judges who heard the arguments
in the case against Sheehan for at
tempting to suppress the Progress,
was Justice Brewer of the supreme
court of the United States, and we
do not think he would have re-
versed his former decision.
After Secretary Hitchcock has
been relocated to private life, from
which it is reasonable to assume
he will never emerge. the IONA
HAWK will still be doing business
at its old stand.

Under the treaty of 1867, be-
tween the United States and the
Chippewas, the latter oeded the
reservation set apart for them I'M
der the treaty of 1864, and res
served oply that portion no "
known as the Mississippi Chippewa
Reservation at Leech and Cass
lakes, which is described as fol-
lows:
Commencing at a point on the
Mississippi River, opposite the
mouth of Wanoman River, as laid
down on Sewall's .nap of Mime
sofa; thence due west to point
two miles further north than the
most northerly point of Lake
Winnebagoshish: thence due west
to a point two miles west OF the
most westerly point of Cass Lake:
thence south to kabekona River;
thence down said river to Leech
Lake; thence along the north shore
of Lecch Lake to it's outlet in
Leeoh Lake River; thence down
the main channel of said river to
it's junction with the Mississippi
River, and thence down the Mis-
sissippi to the place of beginning.
Besides this tract, the White Earth
reservation was set apart in part
consideration for the large tract
of land that was received in lieu
of the six reservations ceded by
the Mississippi Chippewas under
the treaty Of 1864, above referred
to.
When the treaty with the United
States in 1864, in which the six
reservations were coded, was made,
Minnesota had no right to the
swamp lands within these reserva-
lions and which were set aside be-
foresthe state was admitted. but it
afterwards claimed and got tllr
lands, undoubtedly in lieu of the
swamp lands which it now claims
and which were given to the In
dams for other lands including the
swamp lands it has just received.
In view of the fact that the sec
rotary has decided in favor of the
state in regards to its claims for
the swamp lands in the rescrva-
tons relinquished under the act of
1889. no action will be taken by
/; the officials of the department to
place the matter in the courts for
the purpose of asserting the claims
Of the Indians to the lands, it
therefore becomes necessary for
the Indians themselves to take
some action in the matter. and this
should be done without delay.
