NO FOREST RESERVE
FOR WHITE EARTH
BY w. w. Jermane.

=, Washington, Aug. 23.-Careful in
quiry at the interior department. 8 In
dian office, land office and forestry
bureau, shows there is no truth in a
dispatch from White Earth printed in
a twin city paper Sunday morning, that
the government contemplates establish
ing forest reserve on the White Earth
reservation. There is no correspond
ence on the subject at any departm ent
or bureau, and Assistant Secretary
Ryan, whose name was mentioned in
the dispatch as having fathered the
project, says that he has not discussed
it in any way.
It is suggested that possibly the story
may have arisen from the fact that Of
fcials Of the forestry bureau have been
working this summer in the area re-
served by that bureau under the Nor
ris act, selecting lands to be included
in the Minnesota forest reserve. The
Morris act provided that 100000 acres
might be selected for forest purposes,
and up to this time only about 10000
acres have been selected. The land
selected, from which IS per cent of tim
Der is being cut, lies on the west side
Of Lake Winnibigashish, but there is
lake from which the remainder of the
forest lands may be taken.

the Indians were most. attentive, and
at the end each chief signifed his &C

Of the secretary and touching his pen.
According to the terms of the treaty,
the Indians were to receive $250,000 in
annual payments for the vast region,
which included all Of the land north
of the Minnesota river and contained
approximately 30,000,000 acres. They
retained a reservation, ten miles in
width, extending along the river from
