INDIANS ACCUSED
OF CROOKED DEAL
ATTORNEY SAYS THEY PRETEND
TO BE MIXED RLooDs IN ORDER
TO BELL LANDS - THEY ARE
LIKE cHfLDREN-eovERNMENTI
TO PLACE RESPONSIBILITY.

The st. Paul Dispatch discussing
the alleged White Earth frauds says:
One Of the attorneys who are inves-
tigating the alleged timber frauds ir
the White Earth Indian reservation
and who did not wish to be quoted by
name, remarked today that the view
expressed by Congressman HalvoI
STEVENSON OF the Ninth Minnesota dis
trict to the effect that the Indians
themselves were to blame for a great
deal Of the trouble with the lumber
companies had some facts to back il
up.
Il know of some of those allottees OF
timber lands at the hands of the gov
eminent" he said, who at the time
they made their sales actually signed
affidavits to the effect that they were
mixed bloods, who under the law have
a right to dispose of their lumber
Later they had repented and claimed
that they were full bloods and that the
sales were not legal
Are a Great Deal Like Children.
These redskins are a great deal like
children. They happen to see or think
Of something that they want and they
will give almost anything to crafty
q passing fancy This cannot be said OF
mixed bloods, in many cases. with as
much truth as It can be said of the full
bloods."
Why do you suppose the Clapr
amendent was passed in 1906 giving
the mixed bloods the right to sell their
property, while the al bloods were
not allowed that priviIege?"
Seeks to Put Responsibility on Them
IF the government is going to edu-
cate these people it will have to place
some responsibility upon them. The
full-bloods will not be allowed to dis
pose of their timber lands until the
twenty -five-year period prescribed by
law has expired and this period can
be extended in the discretion of the
president of the United States.
When you think OF the untold mil
lions of white people, citizens Of civil
liked nations, who live from hand to
mouth, spend every dollar as fast as
they get it and crafty every want on
the spot II it is in their power to do
so, with little or no thought for the
future, can you wonder why people
belonging wholly or partly to a race Sc
recently savage as the American In
dian, do the same thing?"

rival of the fire department one Of the
city fire laddies, who had failed tot no.

stream OF water inadvertently on Miss
X. S. Alvord, mistress Of the hall
bowling over the sedate chaperon and
drenching crowd of male "fusserse
who had rushed to the scene from the
parlor. Miss Alvord was uninjured
except as regards her feelings. The
kimona -clad refugees. who fled out

were cared for In neighboing sorority
houses.
The hall tonight was literally "the

The electric lighting system was pus
out OF commission by the FIRE. and
Miss Alvord fearing that the social
development OF her coed charges
might suffer. ordered supply OF
candles from the university store
keeper sufficient to almost light the
parlors
The attendance OF male callers al
the hall tonight was the largest on
record.

WIRE SERVICE IS
MUCH IMPROVED
WESTERN UNION AND lNDEPEND.
EMIT PHONE COMPANIES HAVE
ESTABLISHED WESTERN COM.
MuNicATloN-- NORTHWESTERN
STILL OUT.

The first telegraph service which IL
has been possible to get through to the
west, directly since last Friday was
established last evening. For the past
four days western wire service has
been Frustrated on account Of d sleet
and rain storm Thursday night, when
almost every wire was snapped and
many poles were broken down.
Last evening the Western Union
brought in one Ioca1 wire over the
Northern Pacific route and one over
land line over the Great Northern
route, This morning two more local
wires to the west were repaired and
service is moving along nicely al
though not to full capacity ais yet. The
company has ceased to detour its
western messages via. Chicago, Dem
yer and Salt Lake City and is sending
direct.
IL is expected that by tonight or to-
morrow morning some ten or twelve
lines will be repaired and communities
tons established. The railroad wires
were down also and made train opera
ton difficult and often slow This
trouble is also being rapidly straight
ened out.
Telephones Still in Bad Shape.
Telephone communication with the
west Is still in bad shape. The North
western Telephone Co. has only one
wire working west and that only as
far as Casselton. The Southwestern
lines are in the same. condition. Only
one wire is working on this line as
far as Davenport. Beyond that every
thing is down.
While the company has a large force
of men working on these lines their eff
forts go for little as it is impossible to
get the ice off the wires.
The North Dakota Independent Co
has been more fortunate. All its lines
are now working west. Out of Grand
Forks they are also open having been
broken down twice. They had no
more than been repaired when they all
again went out Another thorough re-
pairing has put them again in service
