Grounds viii Be Combined

We understand the base ball ground and
fair or ,unds will be combined. This will
be good move as the money being ex-
pended this year for repairs to the ball
ground will SO much toward the fair next

who reside on this reservation the oppor-
tunlly of exhibiting their products in con-

would spur both fractions to do their best

What others are getting yearly, and
snis for the purpose of bringing our
lands under cultivation. Large tracts
of land lying between this village and
Ashland are today in a wild state that
would be developed into nice farm
homes, but just for one cause
ROADS. Can congress and the de-
partment, that is advocating farm
ing, deny the request of a small ap-
preparation for so good q cause as
farming. It certainly looks as
though it would be impossible to do

roads and we wills produce the

in this paper touching on this matter. Each
year sees large numbers Of people from dit
ferent reservations carted off to different
Federal courts and at great expenses to the
individual both in railroad fares and fines,
we claim the government is at fanlt in AZ
lowing this to be. Our contentious are
that it would be far better and much Wis
er plan to session of court twice a year on
the different reservations throughout the
country than as it is at present. We claim
this plan would be for the reason that as
the system is at present what benefit does
the towns, from which these people are
taken derive in the way of fines, etc., paid
by these people. Instead of holding courts
for cases deriving from reservations at points
some distance away where the expense IS
large to go. A far better plan would be
to have the court come to the reservations,
the same as county judges travel to their
courts and the fines thus imposed on the
individual could be made to aid the town
in which the individual lived and should a
Jail sentence be imposed he could be made
to work his time out on the roads. Thus
in few years of this very few would be
found violating the laws. 1t it certainly
worth rying.

GYMNASIUM
IS NEXT NOW
Structure Could Be Ere
cted BY Subscription
PLACE COULD Be USED As ARAGRY
This Building would be Of Great
Benefit.

Our village is sadly in need of gyna-
sum in which games during the winter
could be held and it would be. building
that would be hugely enjoyed by both old
and young. AT present there is not a
building available that is large enough for
this purpose. We believe that by popular
subscription building of this character
could be erected and the maintaining of
same could be accomplished by entertain
ments, dances and athletic doings. 1t also
could be used as an armory and undoubted-
ly company of militia could be secured.
For seyeaal years past, with the exception
of two games this winter, basket ball. a
game that is given good support and ..enioy-
ed by all was played. While with the
erection of ''gym'' the boys would have
a home. OF their own. We further believe
that large amount of the money needed
for the pnrrose would gladly be contributed
by outside parties. Steam heat and electric
lights could be installed from the proceeds
derived from games, etc. A nice reading
room could also be installed. in which the
young people could spend several evenings
week and athletic sports of all kinds could
be learned. As it is today we have no
place for these indoor sports. A commit
tee could be selected at a meeting called
for the purpose, whose business il would
be to collect the. money to aid in the erec-
tior OF such building. Do you want
such building' Let us near from you in
an article in this pnper A site fol such a
purpose can easily be secured.

APPROPRIATION
FOR ROADS DARK
An Appropriation FOR
Roads WouId
BE MEANS or LARGER ACTIVITIES
In Farming On This Reservation
On Lands New Oorment.

We understand that matters look
exceedingly dark for an appropriation
for roads, ETC., for this reservation at
this session of congress. 1t is an
appropriation that is sadly needed
as our roads and walks are in a very
deplorable condition.
We have heard many remarks made
by people, and only in our last issue
you will see an article by Cato Sells
urging Indian agents throughout the
country to urge the Indians to more
extensive farming this year than ever
before. Yes, we say it is a very
good policy to have the Indian take
to farming, which they are willing to
do and are doing where the oppor-
tunity presents itself. No one can
expect an Indian to undertake the
making of a farm where there is not
SO much as footpath to go to and
from his claim. Many acres of fer
tile land on this reservation lie dor
mant. just for the reason Of lack OF
good roads StiH everyone advo-
Gates the Indian farming. First, ~
it not up to congress and the depart
nlent to advocate an appropriation for
roads, whereby the Indian can culti-
yate his acres in farmers, than it is
to advocate the Indian farming. We
are Of the opinion it is. The first
essential thing before opening up or
advocating farms is roads.
Congress has appropriated millions
of dollars yearly to. aid commercial
activities in large cities by harbor i'm
provements, etc Then when the In
dian asks for an appropriation for
the purpose Of opening up large areas
for farms, it is refused. Then we
hear from all sides the remark, The
Indian is not ambitious enough to
till his land" while the real cause
of his not tilling his land is that con-
gress and the deartment won't appro-
pirate money enough TO Duliu liAii.
roads, so that he may develop MS
land Is this just? Large appro-
priations are even this session being
made for improvements on other res
ervations and for developing the
white mans chance. Then why not
the Indian? Is he not considered! !!
This certainly is a matter that
should be given the most careful at
tention of all. We are not asking
for a million dollars for harbor I'M
provements, nor are we asking for
$50, 600 or $4,000 for hospitals and
school purposes, for we on this reser-
walton know full well we could not
get it. But what we are asking for
| is an appropriation Of, say, $4,000,
for road building and repairing OF

Congressman Lenroot
Introduces Measure.
FOR GIVING ASHLAND FEDERAL court
II u Expected To Become Law In
Near Future.

An additional judicial district for the
state of Wisconsin was proposed in a bill
introduced in the house of Representatives
at Washington by Representative Lenroot
The purpose is to provide for the trial OF
cases arising in the northern part of the state
at Superior, which according to the claims
of the Douglass county bar association, will
result in great savings to a majority of liti-
giants who are now obliged in many cases
to travel long distances to Madison.
The measure provides that in the eastern
district under the proposed redistricting of
the state the terms of couits shall be held
at Milwaukee, on the first Monday of
January and October at Oshkosh the second
Iuesday in June, at Green Bay the first
Tuesday in April.
In the proposed western district terms are
to be held at Madison the first Tuesday in
December; La Crosse the third Tuesday in
September, with permanent Offices in Madi-
son.
are to be held at Superior on the first Tues
day of February and first Tuesday of Sep
tclnber Eau Claire on the first Tuesday of
June; Ashland, first Tuesday in July;
terms may be held if judges deem it neces-
sary in the county of Villas or Oneida. All
warrants and processes for the northern dis
trict shall be issued from and returnable at
Superior.
AS provided in the bill all officers of the
western district including the district judge,
shall be ex-cfficio officers of northern dis
trict, the clerk and marshal to maintain
present Offices at Superior.
A great portion of the business of the
present western district arises in the north
ern part of the state much of it on Indian
reservations or from lake commerce and
economies can be brought about by the
creation of the additional district.
In Ashland, scarcely dsy passes during
the season of navigation, but what cases
arise, involving differences between lake
captains and seaman.
The above ma, be very good in the
minds of some. 1t says, "much of the
: business arises in the northern part of the
state and much of it from Indian reserva-
