Any good farmer knows that the time
to do your blowing is when your land is
in just the right condition, and the
chances are that much Of this work will

it does for the other kind.

To Bring Many

Timber Has Been RuthlesSly Cut and
Sold Restitution is Now Demand
ed by Uncle Sam-Suits Filed
In Circuit Court.

Washington. Six hundred suits have
been prepared by the department OF
justice, and about 700 others are under
way, in an effort to recover thousands
of acres of valuable lands and timber
which are said to have been fraudu-
lently taken from the White Earth
tribe of the Chippewa Indians in north
western Minnesota.
The reservation, covering two coun-
ties, was decided to the Indians by the
government with the stipulation that
no part of it could ever be decided to
any but full-blooded Chippewa Indians.
Later, however, an act was passed by
congress permitting sales and trans
fers.
The attorneys of the department of
justice who have had the investigation
under way, declare that when the lat
ter act was passed by congress, white
men who had gathered at the reserva-
ton, waiting for it to become law,
celebrated the news with bonfires and
carnival.
The Investigators say that insignif-
cant sums of money, whiskey, trinkets
and even promises which were never
kept were the prices by which the val
liable lands were secured. Many of
the conveyances were made by minors,
it is charged.
Many thousands of acres of white
and norway pine have been cut over
and the lumber sold. The suits. which
will be filed in the United States cir
cult court for the district of Minnesota.
will seek to restore the lands to the In
dians and recover the timber of which
they have been devastated.
