Brookinus Cuts Area.

Brookings.-The city Of Brookings
lost 1a per cent Of its population
and fiv%e-ninths of the area of its town
site this week by action OF it's city
council. When incorporated about 81
years ago it embraced an area Of nine
square miles, considerable of which
was, and still is, farming land. The
resident farmers have for a long time
claimed that the municipal taxes are
burdensome and that they receive no
compensatory benefits. The question
Of segregation has been agitated for
several years, which at last culmi.
mated in the action of the council by
setting cut five Of the nine sections
Of the city's land and attaching the
same to IN adjoining township. The
school district will remain as it was
and the few families set out will not
be deprived Of their school privileges.
While the city will lose a few hun
dreds Of dollars in the way of munich
pal taxes, it will be compensated in
part by being relieved Of the expense
of the upkeep Of some eight miles OF
country road. The farm owners will
have to travel farther to cast their
votes and do not get the benefit OF
the municipal telephone line.

Gil OF Sioux Indians west OF the river
will be called in the near future to

matter preparatory to laying the

At the present time several hun
dred thousands of dollars belonging

government, these funds accruing
from the sale Of Indian lands. Al
thought it is understood many OF the
Indian families are in a destitute con-
dition, none OF these funds can be
had.
Since the custom of leasing lands
on the reservation to the large cattle
interests was established twenty years
ago, the Indians have been gradually

the several tribes to compel the gcy-
eminent to turn over a portion OF
these funds to enable the Indians to
enter stock raising for themselves.
A general council meeting will bring
together several thousand Indians,
representing nearly every family on
the reservation, it being proposed to
adopt a set of resolutions asking the
board of Indian affairs to send an IN
vestigating committee to the resefya-
ton to examine into the administra-

that there is a great amount OF graft
