WANT SQUARE
DEAL AT SALE
INDIANS AND PEOPLE IN NORTH.
ERN MINNESOTA ARE UP
IN ARMS.
WANT TIMBER SALE DELAYED
STRONG PROTEST Is SENT TO
WASHINGTON BY MINNESOTA
DELEGATION.

St. Paul, Aug. 24.-The Indians on
the White Earth reservation as well
as people of Northern Minnesota gem
orally and the members of the Mime
sofa delegation in congress are up IN
arms over the proposed sale in one
lump of approximately 275,00O,OOO feet
Of TIMBER variOusly estimated in value
at from 100000 to $5,000,0OO.
Congressman F. G. Stevens of st.
Paul yesterday addressed letters to
Secretary Hitchcock of the depart
ment of the interior and Indian Com
missioner Leupp, vigorously protest
ing against the proposed sale on the
ground that the interval between the
first publication of the notice, Aug.
GI4. and the date of the sale, Sept. 5, is
too short to afford lumbermen gener-
ally an opportunity to ascertain the
quantity and quality of timber with
view of making an intelligent bid, and
on the further ground that the rights
of the Indians, who own the land, are
not properly safeguarded.
Send Protest.
It is understood that Senators M. E.
Clamp of st. Paul. Knute Nelson of Al
exandria and other members of the
Minnesota delegation in congress
Joined with Congressman Stevens IN
asking that the proposed sale by can
celled, that longer and more adequate
notice be given and that the proposed
regulations under which the timber is
to be sold be changed materially IN
several respects so that the Indians
will get the best price possible for
their timber.
One Has Inside Track.
The most serious objection is to the
4hort time in which lumbermen have
to examine the timber. It is said that
only one concern has any detailed in
formation regarding the quality and
quantity of timber, and that if the sale
is held on the date proposed, this firm
will have practically a monopoly.
Since such a vast amount Of timber is
to be sold in one lump, lumbermen
who do not know what the timber is
worth or what will be the expense of
cutting and shipping it, will hesitate
to bid. and the firm which has already
collected this information will get the
contract at its own price. AS a rule
the more timber there is on a given
tract. the more it is worth per thou
sand feet, since the cost Of getting it
out is less.
Estimate Wrong.
It is also said that the governments
estimate of the amount of timber as
described in the notice of sale is
grossly incorrect. Those who are IA
fniliar with affairs on the reservation
say that the government has grossly
underestimated the amount of white
and Norway pine and Overestimated
the quantity of cheap timber. The es-
Inmates contained in the notice of sale
follow: White pine, 90,OOOOO0 feet;
Norway pine, S0,O00,O00 feet; jack
pine. 20,OO0,OOO feet; oak, 35,000,O 900
feet; elm, 100000 feet; Eastwood,
100000 feet; maple, 100000 feet;
ash, 100000 feet.
1t is understood that the department
las made practically no examination
If the timber.

- Begin. Ia

Salineyille. Oct 30-Pittsburg coal
operators are here with their agents
looking over the property formerly
owned by Hon. Morrison Foster. with
a view of purchasing the mining prop
erty formerly operated by MIR. Foster
before his death. The property be-
longs to Mr.. Foster, formerly of Sc
wickley, Pa. but now of Grove City.
All the coal lands adjoining the Fos-
ter property in CARROT county have
been looked over and options have
been taken by the agents. The mine
has been shut down for nearly five
years out the mine property has never
been removed The coal Is the strip
vein and Is No. 1 domestic coal and
n ready market was always found
for the product.
Since the mine was abandoned the
Sterling mine has operated their mine
west of town with excellent results
and 1t Is believed by others that II
the Foster mine could be equipped
with machinery the old mine could
be reopened and all the old cars,
tracks, ETC., could be used. 1t is esti-
mated that there is enough cars and
iron rails today In the mine to start
1t up at once.
If purchased. the new owners would
install electric machines and haul the
coal from the interior of the mine to
the railroad by an electric motor The
citizens of the west end are confident
that the mine will soon be operated
again and they look for the times
of years ago to appear.

when Harding got on his feet there
was an ovation equal to that given

until one of the other men upon the

enough to pretend to listen Then he

Rice Industry of the South.

In 1904 the United States changed
from a rice importing to rice export
ing country. In 1898 we imported 49,
100000 pounds of rice and exported
92000,00O. In 1904 our exports of rice
increased SO per cent, our imports de-
cined 20 per cent, and the figures
were: Exports, 13S,000.0O0 pounds; i'm
ports, 137.O0O,O0O. For 1906 the figures
will be even better.
The encouraging feature is the find
ing of foreign market for our rice.
There is no limit to the amount we can
raise If there is a market for 1t, but
the price is unsatisfactory II weoverpro-
duce, for the home market Is very linn

considerable portion of our crop

and Texas will have nothing to fear in
the way of low prices. New Orleans

STUDENTS DEATH
TO BE INVESTIGATED BY MT
vERNoN's CORONER.
Belief Expressed That Young Pierson
Was Tied to Track as Part
of initiation.

Cincinnati o., Oct. 3G.-Coroner
Scarborough of Mount Vernon. Ohio,
came to this city today to investigate
the death of Stuart l.. Pierson, of this
city, son of wealthy lumber dealer.
who was killed on the railroad track
at Gambler near Kenyon college on
Saturday night. Coroner Scarborough
left for home tonight thoroughly con-
vinced, he said that young Pierson
had been tied TO the track by fellow
students in carrying out the pranks
attending his initiation into the col
lege fraternity of the ID. X. e." and
thus helplessly met his death.
officers examined the body and
found that the hand at the right wrist
had been pulled from the socket, and
that there was dark bruise all
around the wrist, as If made by a
strong cord or small rope. There
were similar marks on the left foot
and ankle.
Both Coroner Scarborough and De
tective Grim declare that these
wounds we're plainly made by the boy
IL trying to break his bonds, doubt
less when he realized that the train
was bearing down upon him.
Coroner Scarborough said thar
young Persons fellow students had
been in the habit of playing similar
pranks when initiating applicants
This time they had miscalculated as
to- trains. A train was due to pass
Gambler at 10 o'clock at night and
they had doubtless planned to tie
young Pierson to the track while
before that train was due, and. o!
course, to release him after he ha
had good scare. Instead passen
ger train passed at 9:40. killing I
young man before he could be re
leased. The offenders will be prose
cuted.
Coroner Scarborough stated that the
students we're very careful in trying tc
obliterate all traces of their reckless
act, washing away the blood stains
and carrying the remains away before
any one else knew of the killing. They
did not notify the coroner until thf
next day.
