Attorney for Leech Lake Reds
Discusses Decision of the
Interior Department.

zone million to million and half
dollars will be saved the Chippewa In
dams OF Minnesota by the recent deci-
sion of Secretary of the Interior
Garfield to have the swamp lands
Of the Leech Lake Indian reservation
resurveyed,' said MI. C. e. Richard
son, an attorney of Washington. D.
c., former secretary to Senator Clapp.
He is representing the Indians in the
case.
The story has gone abroad" Mr..
Richardson said, "that it will mean a
saving of that much to the state itself.
but in reality it is the Indians that
profit by the decision.
"By this last decision of the secre-
4ary we get practically all the lands
in dispute. The lands the state will
get are practically now all under wa
ter because of the building of govern
ment dams and reservoirs Many
tracts OF land which in reality belong
to the Indians are claimed by the
state. These tracts, which are classed
as swamp lands in the original sur
yey, are high and dry, being covered
with valuable timber Everybody
knows that pine will mot grow in
swamp lands. The Indians have a
right to these lands and the state Off
Gals in my mind do wrong in attempt
ing to deprive them"
The secretary of the interior has
ordered a resurvey of the lands in
question. Governor Johnson has pro-
tested against this action on the
grounds if the original survey of the
swamp lands is inaccurate the entire
survey must be wrong.
