down 65 feet and it is understood

10 POLISH BISHOP
An Alleked Interview With
Archbishop
Symon

The Journal, Of Detroit. Mich.. IT,
oently published an ALLEGED interview
with Archbishop symon, who lately
visited the Polish Catholic congrega.
tions in this county, in which it is
claimed the Archbishop said that con-
ditions did not warrant the Polish be-
ing represented in the American hier-
archy. It seems hardly likely that
the Archbishop would thus unbosom
himself before making report to
Rome. Part Of the reported intervie v
is as follows:

terlalistic people. At the same time l

liberation, tie Unrestricted religious
freedom that prevails here. The sew

the logs fall into other hands. Mean
time. fire has destroyed 800. 000 feet of
these logs. This Is one Of the several
incidents which led Little Falls man
who is we'll acquainted with reserva-
tion matters, to say this week that q
deep game has been going on, and that
interesting developments are likely.
There is some very fine timber on the
reservation. and strong rivalry to
get 1t. According to the telegram the
Wisconsin lumbermen have the whip
hand. There is talk OF appeal to the
Secretary of the Interior. It has been
said that If Secretary Hitchcock sanc-
toned the sales as proposed, he has
been misinformed, and another sug-
gestion IL that the Secretary NAV
have been told that certain Minnesota
lumbermen were getting in on the
Indians. and that the Wisconsin men
would be no worse. Secretary Hitch
cock is very obstinate when his mind
Ia made up, and the President has
been standing by him. If the squab-
bic should lead to the official decapi-
tation of Agent Michelet, a we'll
known Little Falls man is right in
line for the place.
Following is the telegram:
Detroit. Minn., Aug. 2s.-The
Chippewas of the White Earth reser-
vation are unanimously protesting
against the arrangements for tie COM
ing sale of timber from their allot-
ments. They are convinced that their
interests will be sacrificed by the
present program, and a strenuous at.
tempt will be made to have the sale
called off.
A great council of chiefs and lead
ing tribesmen was held in White
Earth yesterday afternoon, and spe-
cial Agent Towns of the bureau OF
Indian affairs was called into confer
ence. He is here on other business,
but heard the complaint of the In
dams. A written protest will be sent
to the department at Washington.
The main ground of the protest is
that the time elapsing between the
advertisement, Aug. 16, and the sale,
which is to take place Sept. 8. is too
short to get proper competition, and
the timber is almost certain to fall to
"a wealthy Wisconsin corporation
which has been preparing for years to
bid on the timber. The act of April
3, 1904, under which the sale is said
to be made, il said to have been
passed with the approval Of this COM
pany, which has had experience al
ready in buying and logging timber
from two Indian reservations In Wis
consin.
The Indian owners fear that their
timber will 90 for much less than its
real value and will be bought ss a
snap"
The company In question has COW
cred the entire territory, sn1 has an
inside estimate, not only on the
amount of timber, but on it's acoessi-
bility and cost Of marketing, and this
company is said to be behind the eur
vey made this summer for q logging
road through the reservation. 1t 10 in
q position to bid, out no other ocm.

information between now and Sept. (

OVER TIMBER
Claim Wisconsin Lumber
= men Have Advantage r.
at White Earth

The following telegram, appearing
In the Minneapolis Journal of August
22d, touches on q matter In which
several Little Falls people are inter-
ested. and it IL no secret that Con-
gresham Buckman, J. A. Nichols Of
the Commonwealth Lumber Co, and
others. are protesting against the
governments action. The thing is
likely to involve the official scalp of
Agent Michelet, az 1t is claimed the
agent must have known what was 10.
ing on during the summer, and that
the Minnesota lumbermen should have
been posted, and Riven a chance to be
prepared as well as their Wisconsin
rivals. Indications are that the Wis
consin men have played shrewd if
quiet game, and caught their Mime.
sofa rivals mapping. The federal and
Indian service in this state is honey.
combed with Wisconsin men. After
logging operations were finished on
the reservation last winter, over
3, 600, 600 feet of logs were still left on
skids. Later the Commonwealth Lum-
Der Go. made an offer for these logs,
which would have relieved the reser.
vstion officials from all further trou.
ble or anxiety about the logs The offer
was practically accepted, yet some
time later Mr.. Nichols was informed
that 1t was thought his offer was not
high enough, and he consented to an
increased price. Even then, the de-
partment did not close the deal, ard
the matter has been IN the air"
since spring. One explanation might
be that it Is desired by someone that
the logs fall into other hands. Mean
time. fire has destroyed 800. OO0 feet of
these logs. This Is one Of the several
incidents which led Little Falls man
who is we'll acquainted with reserva-
zion matters, to say this week that q
deep game has been going on and that
