To Irdian Agent P. S. Everest and the
Odanah Fair Association belongs the honor
of demonstrating to the country at large
that this reservation must be considered a
factor in the agricultural and dairy pursuits
OF this country. Our fair this week has
been success and from remarks passed by
citizens of Ashland and other places mas ex-
celled the Ashland county fair, Of course
the Ashlacd fair was larger, but as to our
exhibits it was an eye opener to all. This
fair has brought to our village the largest
crowds ever seen here from outside practi-
cally every reservation in Wisconsin had re-
preSentatives here and to the untiring ef-
forts and enegery of our Agent P S. Ev-
crest belongs the honor of the success of
this the first fair ever held on this reserva-
ton and in ary reservation in Northern
Wisconsin with the aid of his able assistant
S. J. Stienstra and his committee II. E.
Holiday and w. D. Denomie. What a
contrast to our present day fair and the rules
that belonged to S. W.. Campbell. In Mr..
Everest we have man that as Indian
Agent has nothing but the welfare and ad-
vancement of the Indian at heart while un-
der the former agent nothing of this char
acter could of happened. Enough cannot
be said of the way our present agent is con-
Quoting the Indian affairs on this reservation
and he is fully appreciated by the people
whose business he stands sponsor for.
The fair opened Tuesday with a large
parade of Indians in costumes. on foot and
horse back, headed by. the Crystal band of
twelve pieces, the parade started from the
council hall and took line of march across
the river and returning marched direct to
the fair grounds where Indian games of all
kinds were indulged in. Here also was a
free aerial and acrobatic performances by
the celebrated Skerbeck family. The first
day of the fair was an ideal fair day and
large crowds of people from Ashland were
in attendance. Many business men closed
their places of business In order THAT theiI
help could attend the fair which was fully
appreciated bv all our citizens and we thank
them for the interest thus manifested.
The exhibit hall was arranged in very
tasty maDper and here was seen Indian
work a. szhlbit traf tzanot be seen at an,
other place, while the needle work was the
best display ever seen in these parts ane
everybody was highly pleased and surprised
at the work on display.

ed and the exhibit hall was the center of at
traction ald only few races were run.
Yeste d ~ was undoubtedly the banner
dav o. the fair as far as attendance was
conccrncd. The afternoon was mostly
taken up by Superintendent P. S. Everest,
Mr. DelwiSche, of the state experimental
farm near Ashland J. w. Daddy, of Red
Cliff and Superintendent A. w. Light, of
Hayward. Chief Blackbird also gave talk
after which several games were pulled off,
The awarding Of prizes were made which
will appear in next weeks Star.
Ashland was again well represented here.
The Stearns Lbr. Co. closed their plants
down fora half day to give their employees
chance to see the fail Today is the last
day of the fair and will end the first fair
ever given on any reservation in Wisconsin
and the success of it speaks volums for the
enthusiasm displayed by the Indian which
proves to the public at large that the Indian
is no longer to be considered a drone.
What contrast to the first landing of the
white man on these shores and the present
day. Can it be said that we as nation are
not advancing? Far from it, we are abreast
of the times. We have developed in a
nation that must be recokened with in the
building up of this great metropolis. A
nation of people that have registered their
names in the hall of fame. Still in the face
of all this some INSCRIPTIONS person will
say that the Indian is not capable. To you
who have attended this our first fair we
will leave to decided whether he is or is not
] his fair is only the stepping stone to
larger things. We are of the opinion that
it will be the means of spurring our citizens
on to greater efforts in agricultural pursuits
and the fair>next fall will without doubt be
big affair but in the memory of all will
linger as the best the first. The Star ex-
teiids thanks to one and all for our citizens
for the enthusiasm shown in attending our
fair q

of benefit if abused and not be made use of
as it was intended ana the only way this
can be accomplished is by electing good

possibilities is a railroad running from the

through the Wilson policies which
they believe are founded upon de-
termination to fulfill the pledges OF

that the Democrats have made a

sugar viii not result in lowering the
price of sugar to any great extent,
and the government is deprived of a
revenue Of $52,000,000. But 1t is not
going to hurt much. Louisiana sugar

Give Indians The Stephens Sill.


! 1t is unquestionable that the only solution
of the Indian question would be the pas
sage Of the Stephens Right of Nomination
bill. This bill, which aims to give Indian
tribes voice in the selection of their agents
and in their respective tribal matters, has
the opposition of all Indian Agents and
Indian employees generally, and there is no
doubt that they are quietly opposing it.
1t would be good thing for the Indians
if the joint committee which is now inves-
tigating Indian matters would devote some
of its time to making inquiries regarding the
matter in which the subordinates of the
Indian office lobby in order to control In
dian legislation. 1t is an open secret that
members of the Indian Office and Indian
agents and school superintendents generally
devote much time in trying to shape Indian
legislation to their personal bcre6t instead
of the benefit of the Indians. If Commits
sioner Sells is true and staunch represen-
tative of the present administration he will
put stop to this class of lobbyists and
he himself direct what legislation would be
for the benefit of the Indians and in line
with the expressed policy of Secretary
Lane. [Tomahawk.
While we can say and say it truthfully
tha: so far as our agent is concerned ~he is
in no way concerned in the making of
legistion that might reflect to his personal
benefit. But SO far as the Stephens bill is
concerned Bro. Bieaulieu is correct and
the right measure to be adopted as it would
give to the Indian the right of self-g oyera=
mens and something which we think would
be of great benefit to the Indian as whole
but the way the present administration is
shaping we do not believe that it will even
have ghost OF show at no time.
