The LAST CHANCE
Mile Laos Indians Are
Once More Asked to
Move
From Cove

From Cove c-rre scordt nee in
Onania Breeze:
Theo. Beauleiu is here and is max
ing another effort to get the remain
ing Indians to rem owe to White Earth.
he Is instructed to inform them that
they have received their last Kaynent
here and will have to 70 to their
reservation in order to get any more
money. Of c>ur.e this is an old story
but perhaps it is true this time. It
seems strange that the Ind ans livirg e
hera with no home they can call their
own, and in f4ct at certain times on
the verge of starvation, saouli refuse
t? go where he has 100 acres Of land
given to him and an additional
amount to each member of his family.
A house built and fcrnished. team
and agricultural machinery furnished,
in fact everything that the would need
to commerce. a new home, with
provisions to last for year or until
he can raise crop. 1t we are Eot
mistaken, he has certain number of
acres cleared ~ TO. farming
purposes. More than this, q home
is pr;vided at White Earth for the
aged, with all co1veniences possible.
True. this is the only home they have
known, and the older members of tire
tribe have become much attached to
it But 1t would seem thst they
would see that they could better their
condition by g7log to the reservation
Mr.. Besulleu says the Mile Lscs
Indians will not nave much longer to
consider this matter and to take
advantage of this genero.s offer made
by t1e government TIE matter will
soon be CLOSED and the remaining
| vacant land opened to the white
settlers. This will leave the Indians
that remain here homeless, as they
have no right here whatever, and as
settlers come in will b. crowed out.
