SIOUX INDIANS .. .... i. ......
ACCEPT LANDS
MAJOR MCLAUGHLIN SUCCEEDS
IN OVERCOMING OPPOSITION
At STANDING ROCK.
THE SIOUX INDIANS SIGN AN
AGREEMENT TO ACCEPT LANDS
IN SEVERALTY.

st. Paul Globe 9Th: Maj. McLaugh

dian agencies, who can with equal
propriety register from Passamaquod

Standing Rock agency to accept lands
in allotment and eventually to give
up their tribal relations.
II have been on the reservation for
the past ten days." the grizzly old In
dian agent told a group of friends at
the Merchants hotel yesterday, land I
succeeded in getting my old friends
the Sioux to see the future in the
right light. They will take lands in
severalty. It required a powerful lot
of argument and explanation to get
the Indians to sign the memorial to
the secretary of the interior, asking
him to allot the lands.
"Under the terms of the allotment
the lands will be divided by the agree
ment of March 2, 1889. AS the lands
on the reservation are largely graz
ing lands, the division will give each
member of the tribe a larger allot-
ment than where the lands are suited
for agricultural purposes. The head
of each family will receive $40 acres,
all over 18 years will be given 32O
acres and minors under the age of IS
will receive 100. A span of A uerican
mares, two COWS, wagon and har-
ness, a pillow, a harrow and $50 in
cash will accompany each land allot-
ment. 1t is probable that the alloting
of the lands will be made some time
next fall, unless present plans mis-
carry.
Conditions on the Standing Rock
reservation are very satisfactory from
every standpoint" Maj. Mclaughlin
said. "The Indians have the advant-
age of one of the best agents in the
Indian service in Isaac Steen, late of
N. D. He converses fluently
in several languages, is an attorney, a
practical engineer and an accom-
plished musician. He is popular with
the Indians and under his tutelaqe
they are fast acquiring knowledge of
cattle raising and farming. The Ro-
man Catholic, Episcopal and Congre-
gational denominations all have en-

vast good among the Indians. heard

the Indians are in thoroughly salts

Railroads to Stimulate Farming.
That the western railroads are

several significant moves which have
been made during the year, radically
different from the methods heretofore

possible without regard to the size Of

ideals of not only the members of his
grange but of the whole community
AS a direct means to improve our
grange work. we still recommend
printed programs, written papers on
farm and household topics and as far
as possible that each program should
be made uniform in its character, dis
cussing one subject with it's relative
branches.
Some states have furnished programs
for the subordinate oranges to carry
ont; while this in theory has it's adj
VantGges, we find that when the work
is taken away from the local lecturer,
he soon loses interest. The lecturer,
who works hardest to originate a pro-
gram, will do most to see that it is car
ried out.
Remember that the work done by the
individual members and not the en-
tertainment furnished, nor even the in
formation given, marks the real
growth.
Every member can do something for
the entertainment and instruction of
others. 1t is the business of the lectur-
er to give him this work. always maxi
ing the task little harder than can be
done easily.
We would urge special programs for
special days or subjects, and that local
lecturers interchange their printed pro-
grams. Remember that hopeful, per-
sistent work is the thing that leaves,
its impression OH the grange and on the
world.
