PROTEST BY
THE INDIANS
To All The Bids Made For
The White Earth
Timber.

White Earth, Mimi, Nov. 16-
The sale of allotment timber
took place yesterday. There
were eight regular and two spec
ial bids. Supt. Joseph Farr says
he will recommend the bid of the
Wisconsin for acceptance.
The Indians are up in arms.
They are not satisfied with any
of the bids for the pine timber,
as it established price for five
years and they contend that the
constantly increasing price of
tim Der more than justifes their
objection; besides this if the con-
tract is awarded to the Wiscon-
sin men, the Indians, with other
classes of timber besides pine,
would be losers to the extent of
from S. to $50 per thousand, so
there can be no award made
which would be acceptable or
just to all classes OF allotees.
Before the bids we're opened
yesterday morning the commit
tee selected by the council last
Monday to protest against
the sale, accompanied by a large
crowd of young Indians, made
vigorous protest against the sale
and intimated there would be
trouble if it were consumated.
The Indians are still insisting
that all the bids should be re-.
jected and that some other plan
be substituted for the one under
which the sale was made yester-
day.

Already Six Thousand Men
Have Been Sent Out From
This City.
HEAVY LOGGING OPERATIONS
REQUIRE MANY EMPLOYEES.
Bemidji Employment Offices Have
Secured About 5000
Siaee Sept. l.

Although the logging season
in northern Minnesota has only
fairly begun, there has been sent
out from this city to the camps
in this vicinity approximately
$4,000 men, and as the season
advances several thousand more
men will be required. Up to the
present time no can't hook men,
leaders or sleigh teamsters have
been hired, the active work of
cutting, hauling and loading not
having commenced. Most of the
men are now at work cutting
roads and building camps. only a
few of the loggers have started
the work Of saving and decking
logs. ~ ..
According to figures given the
Pioneer by the four employment
Offices of this city, a total of 5000
men have been employed in Be-
midi only and sent out to the
camps. To this number can be
added the men who have been
hired directly by the lumber
companies and loggers. A con-
sentative estimate places this
number at 1000, making the
grand total 5000.
The going wages for men are
S26 to $35 per month for swan .,
ers and sawyers, $65 to SIS per
month for cooks, blacksm iths

Secretary of Interior Affirms
Important Decision Made
By Land Office.
ACTUAL SETTLERS ARE AHEAD
OF FILERS.
Decision Will Be Interesting News
to Hundreds of Minnesota
HOmeSterders.

Yes erday afternoon the
Crookst0n u. S.. Land Office re-
ceived communication from the
Secretary of Interior at Wash
ington, D. c., affirming the de-
cision made by that office some
time ago in regard to the right
OF prior settlement as against a
filing on the claim. It is very
important question and one that
involves a great many interests
not alone in the case in which the
decision was made.
The history of the case goes
back a few months to the time
when seven men appeared in
the Crookston land office and
filed Oh properties in section 16
in the town of Eden northeast of
Fosston. All the land in that
section was taken up by these
men. But it appears afterward
that the gentlemen would have
some trouble in getting their
land. On this same section 16
in the town of Eden there were
already five settlers living in
their cabins in actual settlement
and claiming every part of the
land on which the seven filed.
Now there came up the question
before the land office as to
whether prior settlement had
more right to the land than prior
fling.
The Land Office decided that
the men who had built their
cabins and actually lived on the
ground in controversy even
though they had not filed were
entitled to the ownership of the
land. This decision was based
on the spirit of the law governing
homesteaders in their bu siness
But the seven flers appealed
from the decision of the lane
office to the United States Com
miss Toner. He affirmed the de
cision of the Land Office. Agar
the seven tlers appealed the
case to the Secretary of the In
