WHAT'S THE MATTER?

The following from the Royalton
Banner, in regard to a state fair
exhibits is we'll to the point:
Isn't Morrison county a farming
community Isn't 1t equal to any IN
the state? Don't we want the world
to know about 1t by showing the re-
suits of our labors where they will be
seen by everyone interested in
agriculture?
1t would perhaps be difficult to find
one hundred farmers IN the county
who do not heartily favor the best
possible exhibit at the state fair, OF
which the county is capable and many
OF these are our heaviest taxpayers
The request for an appropriation by
the county. to make such AN exhibit,
which was unexpectedly resisted at the
January meeting. will be brought up
again next month for further con-
slde1atlon and it is heartily hoped by
q large proportion of the taxpayers
that favorable action will result
Hundreds Of citizens attend the state
the exhibits and forming an idea of
the conditions in different parts OF
the state and reliable display from
Morrison county cannot fail to draw
the attention of these homeseeke1s and
result in an added population. Every
farmer, it has heen estimated. is
worth $1,000 annually to the COM
munity in which he lives. From this
it may be judged that the paltry sum
asked is either dead loss or a
stupendous dividend payer. II 1t
does nothing whatever in settling up
our lands it is worthless, but If it does
attract settlers, and few will dispute
the claim, it is gilt edged invest
ment and should have the heartiest
support.
Again. it should be in charge of
competent men, as a poor exhibit is
disgrace, and worse than none. Let
US give Morrison county show and
avoid the mistake Of pennywise and
pound. foolish procedure. -

WANTS MORRISON CO..
Chippewa and Other In
dians Ask that Land Re-
vert to Them

Fifteen counties in northern Mime
sofa will revert to the Mississippi,
Pillager and Chippewa tribes OF
Indians. should the United States
supreme court uphold the claim made
by these tribes in a complaint filed by
Gus H. Beaulieu, Chippewa who for
years has been recognized as leader
of Indians residing IN Minnesota.
State Auditor Samuel q. Iverson
called in conference with him to con-
slider the case, Governor John A.
johnson and Attorney General George
I. Simpson. The details of the case
were carefully gone over, and plans
for protecting Minnesota s interests in
the case were fully discussed, saws the
Minneapolis Journal
The claim of Beaulleu is an off shoot
of the case bought in the court of
claims at Washington, D. c., by the
Minnesota state auditor, in which
Minnesota sets up Its demand for title
to 147, 600 acres of swamp land in the
Leach lake and Winniboshich lake
districts. This at present is federal
land, and the auditor demands it for
the state under the congressional
swamp land grant enacted IN 1860.
Various phases of this claim have been
in controversy for some years past.
Beaulleu goes back, however, to the
treaty of Feb %, 1855, when the
Indians ceded great amount of
Minnesota territory to the federal
government. This treaty included
what now comprises the counties of
Clearwater, Beltrami, Mahnomen.
Becker, Wadena, Todd, Otter rail,
Morrison, Kol chiching, Itasca, Grow
Wing. A1tkin, Mile Lacs and Hub
bard.
Beaulieu says that in passing title to
the government, the Indians in turn
were to receive certain CONCESSIONS
and certain money payments. He
charges that the government failed to
fulfill these conditions, and that there
fore the title must revert back to the
Indian tribes
The ruling of the lower court at
Washington on the claim of Minne-
sofa was in favor of the state but the
opinion reclted that it might be
possible the condition of the Indian
treaty had not been fulhlled by the
federal government. The lower court
however. refused to rule on this point,
explaining that it was entirely outside
of the record In that case. Beaulieu
has brought the matter up again in
his appeal to the court of last resort.
Mr.. 1verson expresses the belief that
there is little danger Of the Indians
winning out in their claim of title to
this vast tract; that their point is
ar-fetched.

RAMEY FAMILY HAD HARROW
ING EXPERIENCE.

Foley Independent: Bert Cheeley
of Ramey, was in town OH business
Monday and while here favored this
Office with pleasant call. He in
formed us of very narrow escape
from burning, experienced by the
family of Ira Mansfield of that town
last Wednesday night.
In some way the drsperies suspended
at the door of their bedroom caught
fire from the stove and before the
sleeping occupants of the room became
aware of their danger the draperies
were ono mass of flames. Mr.. Mans
field, with rare presence of mind,
instantly tore the burning curtains
down and carried them out into the
yard. In so doing his hands became
badly burned ard he is unable to work
as a result. The fire was fortunately
extingulshed before a great deal Of
damage had been done.
