 THE CITY TEACHERS
The Public School Will Open Monday at s:3o and Full Attendance Is De- sired.

There was a meeting or Supcrintend- ent J. F. Stilweil and the teachers of the city schools yesterday afternoon in the Central building, the purpose of which was the assignment of the teachers to the rooms and grades which they arc to teach, and to talk over in general the school work and the trying ordeals that are always in ident to the beginning of the school year. The meeting was also an occa- sion for handshaling and getting ac- quainted, as there are number of new teachers enrolled and many of the old ones had not seen each other since go- ing away on their summer vacations. As the attendance at the city schools increases thls winter it Is likely that one or two additional teachers will be needed, but no election will occur until the board of trustees has had time to canvass the situation and considered the conditions of the schools

DOZEN ASCENTS MADE.

Public Invited to Inspect New DIrigi-
BILE Balloon.
Berlin, Sept 16.-Major Parsevals'
dirigible balloon was virtually placed
at the disposal of the public during
the day at Tegel, near here, by the
company which constructed it in order
that experimental voyages may be
made to show the progress in the
building of airships. About a dozen
ascents were made successfully dur
ing the day. Each time the airship
carried one passenger in addition to
the aeronaut in charge and the engi-
neers. Minister Of War Won Einem
and other leading military officers and
ministers enjoyed voyages in the air,
during which every possible maneuver
was carried out with precision. There
was almost no wind blowing.
Major Parsevals and his colleague,
Captain Won Keller, in conversing on
the subject of the ship, said that more
powerful motors were necessary, the
maximum power of the present en-
gines being not sufficient to drive the
airship against fairly strong wind.
New motors are under construction
and will be fitted to an improved Par
seVals airShip.

CANADIAN TIMBER LANDS.
American investors Buying Up I'm.
nense Tracts.


Washington, Sept 16.-American in
vestors rapidly are gobbling up the
timber lands Of Western Canada. Dur
ing the precent year a Michigan sym
ddicate purchased $4,000 acres of tim
Der land in the Klaanch river country,
and, which land is estimated to hold
S,O00,0U0,o00 feet Of fir, yellow and red
cedar and white pine lumber. This
company is building mills, also a rail-
road twenty-five miles long to enable
them to ship their lumber, making a
total investment Of nearly 100000.
The STANDARD Oil company has pur.
chased $4,000 acres OF timber lands at
Ash and Dixon lakes, near Alberni,
on this island, on which are fir and
cedar trees in large quantities, the in
vestment amounting to millions. So
far nothing has been made public as
to whether the company proposes to
cut and sell the timber or to hold the
property for an advance.
A syndicate of Iowa capitalists has
purchased 210 square miles of timber
lands on Vancouver island and the
mainland, declaring their intention to
erect mills on the island and cut tim
Der for the export trade. This com
pany says they expect to invest $2,.
100000 in tn province. Other large
purchases by American syndicates are
being made every week, while small
capitalists are also making invest,
ments, which in the aggregate foot up
to immense sums.

SAYS The INDIANS ARE
NOT ENTITLED TO LAND
Federal Court Decides That Aboriqinees
Who Leave the Reservation Lose
Their Rights.

Duluth News-Tribune: Pm an
Indian, he's an Indian, you're an
Indian, too," did not appear to
strike the ear of Judge Morris in the
United States district court with
convincing melody yesterday.
He decided that a number of
applicants for allotments of land
were not real aborigines and there
fore not entitled to consideration in
the demands they had made. The
case at bar was that of Julia B. Cakes,
Jane B, Jones, Jane Adams and
Cornelius Van Etten, against the
United States.
All the evidence and arguments
had been submitted and the matter
was before the court for decision.
Judge Morris decided in favor of
the government.
The decision in this suit will be
of widespread interest to hundreds
of others in the northwest who are
said to have contemplated institut-
ing similar proceedings. The suit
just decided was brought some time
ago by the plaintiffs, who claim
they are Indians-or have Indian
blood in their veins-or are entitled
to allotment of lands in the White
Earth reservation under the provi-
sions of an act of Congress.
They produced evidence to show
that their fathers and mothers were
Chippewa Indians, but Admitted
that they, themselves, had left the
tribe. Some of them had married
into another race and they had not
sustained relations for many years.
Counsel for the claimants insisted
this fact did not initiate against the
inherent right of the claimants when
the fact was made clear that they
were Indians and as such wards of
the nation and entitled to share in
the allotments of lands provided.
Judge Morris listened to the evil
dence and the arguments with
extreme care and took the conten.
ton under advisement for some
weeks. When it came up for decision
yesterday Joel M. Dickie of St. Paul,
assistant United States district attor-
ney was on hand. The findings OF
the court were stated with consider.
able elaboration. His honor reached
the conclusion that while the claim
ants may be Indians they have
abandoned the reservation and lived
away from it absolutely cutting the
tie of tribal relationship for many
years and they were not now entitled
to any award or allotment of lands.
The courts decision seemed to imply
that even if they may be Indians in
fact they have lost cast with the
government as far as sharing in the
lands of the great father.
An exception was noted to the
ruling of the court and notice of an
appeal to the United States court OF
appeals given by counsel for the
plaintiffs.
