Rev. Pequette Still
Helping Indians.
Former Resident OF L'Anse Goes 10
Washington With Chiefs On
O Tribal Affairs.

The following article from last Thurs
days issue Duluth Herald NAV be of in
terest to many of our county residents:
Chief Moses Day, picturesque In
dirn with picturesque looking 'plug"
hat adorning his head, might have been
seen walking the streets of Duluth to-
day. He is one of the best known of
the Chippewa tribe of the Boise Fort
reservation, and he is merely stopping
in ''our midst" for the day, for there
are important tribal matters to settle
before the great congress of the pale
face brother, and Chief Moses Day, F.
II. Pequette, the Boise Fort mission
cry, and John Roy, have been selected
to present the case, or the cases, of
the many poor Los, back there on the
Nett Lake piece of government prop
erty.
This committee is in the frame of
mind of the inquisitive gent from Mis-
souri. The members of the committee
want to be shown, as do the Indians on
the Boise Fort reservation, and the
trip to Washington while not sight
seeing expedition in the accepted sense
of the word, is a trip, never the less,
where the jaunters want to be shown.
The Indians claim arrearages from
the government, the medium of the
pale brother, to the extent of SAG, ,000
This is for money appropriated which
the Indians at Nett Lake say they have
never received. After this little diff
ference of opinion between the Indians
and the palefaces is settled, there is
also the little matter of some $40. 900
back pay, which the Indians of the
reservation claim has never been given
to them. This snug total of some
$4,000 the members of the committee
hope to be able to report favorably up
on to the Indians back home, following
the big council with the white brothers
in the big council house of the white
man.
The committee will tell the congress
ional committee of the white man that
there is piece of land coming to the
Nett Lake aborignes. The contention
of the members of the Indian commit
tee is that the land was secured from
Canada with the promise that it would
be added to the Indian lands, and that
it has been secured but never given to
the wards Of the government.
These three sons of nature are pre-
pared to go to the mat with the con-
gressional committee and if the high
hat of Chief Moses Day doesn't inspire
and edify and awe some of the men,
bers of the congressional pow WOW
council, they are used to some things
down Washington way that we haven't
seen so much of up in this neck of the
woods.
This committee was selected as the
best able to represent the righ of the
Boise Fort tribe and the members of it
are not going to lose out without hard
fight. In the midst of trust-busting ac-
tivity, money Investigations. not to
mention personal character research de-
bates and other little lines of excite
citement that are providing thrills at
the present session of congress, three
sons of nature, armed with statistics,
plenty of Peerless and an inquisitive
nature, threaten to create another
rumpus and break violently into the
picture of conversational confusion and
invidious investigation.

South Shore Tells
of Land Clearing.

Under its new management the South
Shore railroad has become, more than
ever before. an enthusiastic exploiter
and practical demonstration of man
ifold agricultural advantage of Clover
land. %
Its demonstration special train which
last fall crossed the upper peninsula
from st. Ignace to the Minnesota state
line, is striking, concrete example of
the exploiting work that road is doing
under the direction of Land Commissio-
ner E. W. MacPherran. Fully cognizant
of the fact that the proper solution of
land clearing proposition would be of
inestimable value to settlers in Clover
land, the South Shore road, during the
past year has applied itself most earn
estly to the task. Many people insist
that stump pullers are not desirable for
the clearing of land. AS bearing directly
on the subject the following is SUBMIT
ed fromLandC Commissions MacPherran:
Early in the spring of 1912 tract of
land Of approximately 8 acres, located
in Sec. 2-47-l6, on the farm of j. b.
Gilbert, about one mile south of Baker,
Carlton county, Minnesota, was select
ed for the purpose of ascertaining the
cost of removing the stumps by blowing
the stumps entirely out of half of this
tract and cracking the stumps sufficient
ly with dynamite so they could be handled
after pulling them with stump puller
and in each case burning the stumps
30 that the land would be cleared ready
for cultivation.
The tract was divided so that on each
piece there were 17S pine stumps, the
stumps running about 70 to the acre.
The average diameter of the stumps
was 24.2 inches.
In blowing the ITS stumps aS1 pounds
Of 40 per cent Red Cross dynamite was
used with 1l2 caps, 230 feet of fuse,
200-6feet exploders, 78 feet exploders.
The cost of this material was as fol-
lows:

The blasting on both Of these tracts
was done by the same man. On the
tract from which the stumps were
pulled, 33 of the stumps were small
enough so that no dynamite was used
on them.
The stumps on the entire tract of S
acres ranged from IL inches to 56 inches

Why They Can Spell tt.

Before I went to Europe" said the school teacher, cit was one of the mysteries of my profession how every British child enrolled in our schools came to be authority on the spelling of chilblains. Teachers might hesi- tate over one q" or two, the children never. They might make photographic mess of the simplest one syllable word, but the tiniest tot from the British isles went to the head of the class on chilblains every time. One wintry month in those same islands told ma why. It is the word they saw oftenest. In drug stores, in clathins stores, in shops of all kinds cures and preventives of chilblains are uni versally advertised. Owing to the sxigencies of the climate there is a regular chilblains literature present ed for those children's absorption, SC no wonder they know how to spell their universal afuiction."
