TISTICS OF BUILDING ENTER
PRISES O SHOW GROWTH
IN CITY.

A few days ago The Republican
sent out 1875 return postal cards to
people of this city who have built
new houses and made large improve
ments on their property. The re-
quest was made to fill out the blanks
on the card and return them to this
office. 1t has been hoped to get a re-
turn on these cards by the latter
part of the week, but up to the pres
ent time less than 25 per CEN Of the
people have responded to the request.
With the return of these cards it
is the intention of The Republican to
make up a list of the improvements
accomplished in Mitchell for the past
year to show the growth in the way
of building, and which can be regard
ed as an evidence of good faith in the
future of the city. 1t is hoped that
those who have not sent in the cards
as yet will do SO Immediately.
1t is possible that in making up
the list. as secured from the lumber
yards that some person was over

but if there are it would be appreci-
ated by this paper if they would kind
ly inform the management. There are
several contractors whom it has been
impossible to see, and they are espe-
cially requested to send in a list of
the buildings they have constructed.
By a little cooperation The Re
publican will be able to present a
fine list of Improvements which will
set Mitchell up pretty we'll with any
of the other cities Of the state in this
matter. Please give this matter your
immediate attention.

TO OtFRAUD INDIANS
DECLARES ATTEMPT 10 COL.
InGT 100000 ZEE FROM
THEM FORMS MATERIAL
FOR THE MUCK-RAKERs.

Washington, D. Ca sensational
speech delivered in the house by Rem
resentative Burke, Of South Dakota.
has directed the attention of congress
to the deadlock on the Indian appro.
priation bill. Mr.. Burke eulogized'
the muckraker and denounced the
lobbyist, characterizing as an ..in-.
iquitous proposition a certain pro-
vision in the Indian bill which is adj
vocated by Senator'S Clapp. OF Mime
sofa, and McCumber, OF North Dako-
to. The provision in controversy is
the senate amendment withholding
the sum of 100000 from a payment
of 100000 authorized for the bene-
fit of the Colyille Indians, Of WASH
ington, as compensation for attor-
neys, among them former Senator
Marion Butler, of North Carolina.
Representative Burke charged that
the attorney in this case had no right
in equity or law to the fee claimed.
A few years ago he pointed out, the
court of claims had allowed counsel
for Colville Indians the sum of $780,
900. After this payment had been
made them the lawyers gave a re-
ceipt to the secretary of the interior,
in which they certified that they had
been paid in full for the legal service
es performed for the Indians. Mr..
Burke's speech in the house was fol-
lowed with rapt attention.

No semblance Of Fairness.

MI. Speaker l do not propose to,
leave any opportunity for doubt as
to my position on this proposition.
nor do l proposed SO far as in my
power lies to leave the record OF this
case in such an uncertain condition!
as to permit it to be claimed at any
future time that by any committee!
this house has admitted that there is
any shadow of equity in this PROPOSE
ton to withhold 100000 or any
other amount from this fifth and last
payment due the Indians. To rec-
ognize this alleged claim and pay any
amount on it would be to despoil
and defraud the Indians and encour-
age these lobbyists to continue their
wrangle W a division Of a fund,
which by courtesy only can be called
a 'fee.
"Mr. Speaker, much has been said
in depreciation Of undertaking and
muckrakers, but I want to go on rec
ord in this %conenction as saying that
II such an iniquitous proposition as
this can be successfully advanced
through congress to plumber: the help
less wards of the nation, then we are
deliberately furnishing material that
needs the application OF the muckrak-l
ers to keep the atmosphere Of the ma
tional capitol sanitary"
The house house instructed, Mr..
Burke and his associate c~onferees to
hold out against the senate amend.
ment. His motion to further disa-
gree was carried by a vote of 21O to,
o. 1t has been apparent for some
days that the deadlock over the In
dian bill imperiled its passage. Un-
der the instructions given Represen-
tative Burke by the house today the
bill is certain to fail unless Senators
Clapp and McCumber recede on the
Colville proposition.

An 1ndefensible Proposition.

~ TFGLTTIH-HNT
"This proposition is indefensible
fromthe point of view Of either law
or equity" said Representative
Burke. "It can be defended-if del
tense can be justified in any event.
only on the. theory that this proceed
ure is in the nature of an appeal from
the judgment of the court Of claims.
But l apprehend that-no reputable
lawyer will contend that it can be
defended on such theory. The de-
cree of the court was entered nearly
three years ago. The attorneys chief
ly concerned in the matter promptly
applied for and received their share
of the award, to wit, n half of
100000. They gave their receipt in.
full satisfaction Of all claims and de-
mands upon the Indians for their
services in this case. Since that
time the installments Of 5000, 900
each have been appropriated for the
Indians, and up to the present time
1T has never been suggested that the
claim had not been fully, conclusively
and finally adjusted by the decree Of
the court of claims. The claim has
never been presented to the house
committee on Indian affairs or to
this house through any other COM,
mittee. Not until the last INSTALL
ment due the Indians had been APP
%propriated by this house, and not un-
til the eleventh hour of the considera-
ton Of this bill in the senate did we
have any knowledge or intimation
that another claim had been trump
ed up against the Indians. This
proposition now before the house is
in violation Of every principle OF
square dealing with both the Indians
and congress. !
