Want INDIANS
TO GET PATENTS

Washington, Feb. Henry Burkett
and Albert L. Thompson of Mahnomer
representing the business mems organ
izations of that and other towns on
and near the White Earth reserva-
ton, are in Washington to try and ex-
pedite the issue of patents to the
mixed blood Indians on that reser-
walton. In company with Representa-
tive Stevenson, they called on Com
missioner Valentine of the Indian
bureau, who assured them of his in
terest in the matter, and of his in
tention to get these fee patents out
as soon as possible.
Discussing the situation on the
White Earth, Mr.. Burkett said:
Since the reports were circulated
that some Of the lun1bermen had
bought illegally from the Indians on
White Earth approximately S. 600. :
600 worth of timber, the sale of lands
belonging to the mixed bIoods has
stopped almost entirely. Under the
Clapp law, the. adult mixed bloods are
entitled to their lands in fee. and the
trust patent issued by. the govern
ment is as good as a fee patent.
There are several farmers in Iowa
and other states who are willing to
go to the reservation, and have been
negotiating for land there, but they
will not close the deals nov because
they will not take anything but fee
patents. The business men In the
towns on and near the reservation
want to see white men come in, and
we are here as their representatives
to ask the government officials to have
the fee patents"
According to information given NV
Commissioner Valentine. the depart
ment OF justice, through Mr.. Long,
the special attorney in the timber
cases, Is now making a roll of the
Indians, showing which are cull
bloods and which are mixed bloods.
When this roll is completed, it is the
intention Of the Indian office to present
the mixed blood to the land Office
In order that patents may be issued
to the adults of that class.
No definite information could be
given as to when the roll being made
by Mr., Long will be completed.

Meet OF
CASS COUNTY DOCS
WATER SUPPLY or FARGO DIS.
cUssED AT MEETING LAST
NIGHT -REsoLUTIoNs PASSED
FAvoRlNo FILTRATION PLANT
--oFFIcERs ELECTED. \

The annual meeting of the Cass
County Medical society was held las,
night and IL proved to be one OF the
most interesting, best attended and
important meetings ever held by the
society. The features were addresses
on the water situation in Fargo nv
Professors Ladd, Van Els and willard
OF the A. G. and clinic by DIR. weible
Prof. willard spoke on the situation
from geological standpoint: Dean
Ladd from chemical standpoint and
DIR. Van Es from a ARCHAEOLOGICAL
standpoint. Following these discus
sions DR.. Van Els and Dean Laid were
asked to each make q condensed state
ment which they did as follows:
Professor Ladd's Statement.
studies and examinations of Fargo
artesian waited as carried on for the
last eighteen years convinces me thar
artesian water Is not the most desir-
able for the city of Fargo. The water
Is too heavily charged with mineral
constituents TO be used by all classes
OF our people, especially the young
and those in poor health.
''The Red river water, when proper
ly purified and by an efficient system
OF publication and filtration, will COM
pare favorably with the water supplied
to American cities and is the safest
source in my Judgment
Or. Van e. Statement.
Owing to certain variations in the
efficiency of filters when used with
different waters, 1t is deemed advis-
able that before creating q final filter
plant filtration experiments be made
with Red river water in order to de-
ternine the effect of filtration under
our local actual conditions.
THAT on account of the inability of
the typhoid bacillus to propagate it,
self in water or to survive therein for
a given length of time, 1t is possible
to eliminate all danger from typhoid
by the retention of the water to be
filtered for one month in properly con-
structed reservoirs.
These statements were made to go
with the following resolutions which
were then passed by the society:
Whereas, We the members of Cass
County Medical society, in view of the
impending action of the city of Fargo
in reference to the provision of a sani-
tary water supply, adopt the following
resolution:
Resolved, That we hereby endorse
the views as expressed In the above
condensed statement OF Prof. Ladd and
DR.. Van Es."
Another very interesting feature of
this meeting was the clinic by DR..
Weible. showing patient upon whom
nerve suturing was performed.
Following the programme features
the society went into business session
and the following officers were elected:
President, DR.. A. C. Morris; vice
president, DIR. w. F. Baltic, Hunter;
secretary, DR.. Martin Rindlaub; treas
urer, DIR. J. L. Savage; delegate to the

MANY INJURED
BY CYCLONE IN
SOUTH GEORGIA
HOUSES WRECKED, STOCK BLOWN
AWAY AND GREAT DAMAGE
DONE TO PROPERTY.

Cordele, Ga, Feb. AT z o'clock
this morning hurricane ne-fourth of
mile wide, like mighty reaper hew-
ing its way through the densest forest,
carrying destruction before it, passed
over the western portion of Cordele.
Before reaching the city from the
southwest, 1T swooped down on the
plantation of DR.. Warren williams. de-
stToying several houses.
Attended by an unusual roaring. the
cyclone then leaped entirely over the
city, and fell again on the plantation
OF ]. M. Powell, three miles northeast
OF the city, completely wrecking the
dwellings of the overseer and six ten
ant houses. The storm then continued
in its course, wrecking three tenant
houses on the plantation of Colonel o.
T. Cover and seriously inturing sew
eral negro tenants.
Woman Blown Alvey.
The cyclone reached its severest pro-
portions on the plantation of Colonel,
Cover, where 1t cut a swath of about
half mile, not leaving a tree or house
in its path.
Many persons along the path of the
cyclone received severe injuries. On
the farm Of DR.. williams a negro was
severely bruised by a piece OF flying
timber, and his wife was sick in the
cabin at the time the storm struck.
The storm picked the woman I'D with
her bed and carried them some dis
lance, leaving the occupant Of the bed
uninjured.
Freaks of Cyclone.
Two Of the most peculiar freaks OF
the cyclone happened on the pIanta-
ton of /. M. Powell, where the house of
his overseer was blown several yards
form its foundation and barely dam
aged. There were thirteen OCCUPANTS
in the house when the storm struck
and all escaped without serious in
juries. A chimney of the house was
left standing and one of the buggies
used for the farm was picked up and
hung over the top of the chimney.
where it was found when the cyclone
had passed. Two mules were hitched
to a farm wagon In front of the house
at the approach of the cyclone and
were picked UP and blown distance
of half mile, and when found they
were in the woods surrounded by the
debris, still hitched to the wagon and
unintured except slight bruises on one
of the mules
The extent OF the damage to property
can not yet be ascertained.

KANSAS IS Still
FOR ROOSEVELT
EDITOR ALLEN GIVES HIS POLL
TIcAL VIEWS AT cELE5RA-
TON IN NEW YORK.

New York, Feb. 1.-The growth
and prosperity of Kansas was cele-
brated tonight by 200 Kansas resi-
dents In New York. Justice David
j. Brewer, of the United States SUI
preme court, who was born in Asia
Minor. but early practiced law in
Kansas, was the guest of honor.
Henry J. Allen, now Kansas ed
itor and formerly law partner with
Sen. Joseph L. Bristow of Kansas,
won applause by his praise of Roose-
welt.
Kansas" he said. leads through
her political affections. Kansas was
for Roosevelt because Roosevelt
stood for policies that were favored
by Kansas. Kansas was for Taft
because he was pledged to carry out
the Roosevelt programme. Kansas is
still for Roosevelt, but Taft could not
carry a single township. / believe IL
is the same all over the west.
Kansas people took Taft at his
word, that he would give us honest
tariff, revision downward. Kansas is
reading and studious state and we
have observed that the AIdrich- PAYNE
tariff is not revision downward.
Editor Allen also defended the
Kansas insurgents. Kansas" he
said, sometimes il accused of chang
ing her congressional representatives
too often, but we change them only
when they fail to be faithfuI-then
we fire them and get more. That
was how we came to employ Senator
Bristow, one of the present insur-
gent senators. Bristow, when elect
ed stood for the things the kansas
people stood for and he has proved
faithful to the trust. Kansas IS be-
hind him enthusiastically.

BUSINESS AND HABIT.

"A million dollars" Is the cry
To down the cigarette;
The poet grabs the theme atonce
And then begins to sweat
In singing of the death which turks
With each tyrant white,
He pounds along with might and main
A masterpiece to write;
And as he finishes the verse
With many a touch and frill,
He turns around in husky voice
And yells, Roll me pill"
