Potlatch is a custom OF distributing
gifts practiced by the Kawiutl, Chin
syan and other tribes Of the north
west coast. The principal actor in the
ceremony is some member of the tribe
who has spent years In accommodating
treasures of all kinds, which he gives
away in one grand display OF generosi-
ty. All the tribesmen Of the villages
for miles around attend the ceremony.
Honor binds the recipients Of the gifts,
however, to such an extent that they
become Indebted to the giver to double
the amount of the present, so that the
potlatch is, instead of an extravaganza.
Q wise investment against future need.

FAILS TO GET DECISION.
South RANGE Stockholders Of Ca
Plant Visit Barasa and Seek
Franchise.

At meeting Of Baraga village coun-
Gil held recently, two of the stock
holders of the late destroyed by ex-
plosion" gas plant of South Range,
were present and made an application
for franchise for the installation of q
similar plant in this village. According
to copper country paper, one of the
visiting gentlemen gave out the follow
ing in part:
'The council did not act upon the ap-
plication Immediately, nor have they
done so yet. There is every hope held
out that the franchise will be given, in
which event steps to install plant in
the village of Baraga will be taken.
Baraga has no such plant and secure
their illuminant from the hester Es-
tate Lumber company. The council
seemed to be in favor Of granting the
franchise, and the local officers have
been expecting reply covering the
same any day. Just what kind of q
plant would be installed is not known.
although it would probably be along
lines similar to the one recently de-
stroyed.
The sawmill town is one of the old
est in the upper peninsula and the
South Range company believe it a lu-
crative field in which to operate.
While in Baraga they discussed the
idea with a few of the businessmen, and
they are said to have spoken very en-
couragingly of the plan. In the event
of the franchise being given, steps
will be taken Immediately towards get.
ting things in shape"

InPOKTANT DECISION
Chief Justice yanOrsdal Issues
Sweeping Decision In Minno-
sofa swamp Land Case.

In passing final judgment in the case
of the Chippewa Indians against Sec.
Rotary Of the Interior Garfield, in an
endeavor to restrain him from issuing
patents to swamp lands to Minnesots
valued at 81, 900. 900. Chief Justice Van.
Orsdale, of the District of Columbis
court of appeals, rendered sweeping
decision which will probably settle for
ever all attemps to again bring this
case into court.
He concludes: Many reasons are
apparent why this case, as presented,
is not within the jurisdiction of the
courts of this district. The primary
purpose Of this suit is to prevent the
United States from carrying out ar
agreement entered into between it and
the state Of Minnesota.
Here jurisdiction fails at three
points, it is suit against the United
States, and in absence of express au-
thority from congress, the courts have
no jurisdiction.
Second, Minnesota, in any action af.
fecting the title to lands in question,
is an indispensable party, and this ac'
ton must fail for defect of parties de.
PENDANT.
Third, the bill could not be sc
amended as to make Minnesota a party
defendant, for that would be a suit
by = citizen against sovereign, which
is forbidden by the eleventh amend
ment to the Constitution of the Unitet
States. Hence, there is no possible
avenue open through which the com
plainant upon this record can secure
the relief sought.
1--WE must consider the treaty of 1861
as valid cession of lands in question
to the United States. They at once
became part of the government do
main, over which congress has ex
elusive control. By the swamp lane
act of 1860, the lands were granted t.
the state of Minnesota: No subse
suent treaty or negotiation between
the United States and Indians tending
to resembling treaty Of 1855, without
the consent of the state, could in any
way affect the state in the enjoyment
of its rights.

The Baraga Wanderers have arranged
matters whereby a game Of hockey

making preparations for the game by

dandy.

Roosevelt Wiped Out

Details of the Thunder Mountain
land slide which wiped out the
town of Roosevelt was told the
Capital News this week by Benja-
min Caswell, prominent mining
man of that section. He says:
"The slide started about 10 o'clock
on the night of May l with roar
that was deafening The town was
soon awake and saw the mountain
of mud sweeping down at rapid
rate, crushing everything in its
path, completely wiring out be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 feet of
timber along Mule creek, cracking
off trees three feet in thickn ess as
though they were toothpicks. and
entirely obliterating the road for one
mile. Sweeping clean everything
before it, the mighty river of mud
slid two days and two nights, slow
ly after the first few hours, but
with the same rumbling. Not a
building remains in the main part
of the town, but all are washed to-
gether at the lower end of the lake
and are humping together like
chips piled in an irrigating ditch,
as. the slide has formed a dam
across Mule creek from 25 to 30
feet deep and has backed the water
up over the town, making large
lake from 10 to 20 feet in depth.
Some forty buildings were washed
out and a large amount of stock
lost. Although he states that at
this time there is no way to esti-
mate the entire loss, il will run
high into the thousands. l.. A.
Wayland, the postmaster, was one
of the heaviest losers, as was also
Ben Francis, former chief of police
of Boise. whose store building and
warehouse with all contents, was
washed out, while the town hall,
saloon and many miners cabins
were swept out and crushed beneath
the debris.
The fact that the slide moved SO
sASJy was the only thing that
, snted loss of life and an entire
loss of the supplies in the camp.
Although the original town is
wiped out. he states, already there
is talk Of rebuilding farther up
the creek in a more suitable local

A Correction

The Index is informed by Fred
Brownlee that the statement made
IN last weeks issue in regard to
his arrest is incorrect. The same
item appeared in The Statesman s
dispatches under Caldwell date
lire and was considered authentic.
Mr.. Brownlee states that the
trouble between Andy Little and
himself, caused by Mr.. Little's
sheep becoming mixed with his
own, is not an uncommon occurrence
where bands are grazed in the same
vicinity and that it is almost i'm :
possible to keep them from mixing,
and we understand Mr.. Little does
not blame Mr.. B1ownlee, but his
(Brownlee's) herder. This paper
is pleased to make the correction.
