The following article appeared in a
recent issue Of the st. Panl Pioneer
Press regarding the Indian fair. While
not entirely accurate as to facts it is
Al interesting descriptive article and is
published in full with the Illustrations:

from Minnesota to the Dakotas, and Of
their gathering at the reservation, were
numerous at the Fort Totten Indian
agency here during the past three days,
the event being the first industrial and
agricultural fair to be given by the
reservation.
The Indians have developed wonder
fully in agricultural and industrial
lines during the past five years. They
have formed an association to arrange
for annual fairs, at which they expect
to show the public samples of their
work and also to encourage among
themselves the idea of advancement.
Awards to be Made Tomorrow.
The fund for the fair was raised by
The Devils Lake Reservation Indian
Fair association, and liberal prizes
were arranged, prizes to be awarded
by committee of judges consisting Of
Benedict Bear, Martin Blueshield, John
Hehakaduta, Cankumaza and A. L.
Sandin in the mems department and
Martha H. Baughman, Mrs. Ignatius
Court, Mrs. Moses Smith. Mrs. Frank
Biackshield and Mrs. Felix Blacktiger
in the woman's department..
Judges Highly Excited.
These judges have been much excited
during the three days Of the fair, and
felt keenly the Importance of their Of

before deciding on the awards, which
are given on horses, cows, pigs, chick

many anxious weeks preparing the ex-
ihbils and were willing that each viz
or at the fair should know just who
made the bread, cake, pie and preserves
shown.
Little Fish, 90 Years Old, But Busy.
Little Fish, go years old, was the
oldest participant in the doings Of the
fair, and not only did he march in the
parades and take part in the dances,
but he examined each award of pre-
MUM very carefully and made com
ments on each.
Ignatius Court, one of the leading
characters of the reservation and a
prominent member Of lodges, was also
very much in evidence. Mr. Court has
the distinction of being the only Indian
members Of the Knights Of Columbus in
the United States, and during the fair
he was busy obtaining members for a
branch of the Independent Order of
Forestcrs to be organized among the
Indians Of the reservation.

Greetings were sent to the fair as
