JUST COMPLETING
LARGE FARM BARN
Mike Couture VIII Have Nice Barn
When Finished.


Michael Couture, who lasts pring was the
first Indian on this reservation to purchase
a large heard Of blooded cattle, has under
construction on his farm east of this village
one of the finest barns to be erected, to ac-
commodate his large dairy herd. 1t has
all the modern and up-to-date equipment
and shows that Mr.. Couture is an enter
prizing dairyman in every sense of the word.
Andrew Zuercher, who has constructed
practically all the farm barns on this reserva-
ton has the contract and the -ructure speaks
well for his ability as a builaer. Mr.. Cou-
ture found il nesaifY to erect the new barn
to accommodate his large herd during the
winter months.

BIG CATTLE RANCH
TC, LOCATE HERE
Parties 10 Establish Ssicsi a Place On
Reservation.

That with the coming Of spring large
cattle ranch will be established on this res
ervation is now an assured fact. The parties
who will promote this industry do not at
present wish their names mentioned in con-
nection with it, butt will be permanent.
Some time since Agent p. s. Everest tried
in every way to induce the Indian to start
in the cattle business ferthe Chicago market
and it was thought that the past summer
would see many in this business, but un-
doubtedly they were afraid to venture
although Mr.. Everest exerted every energy
to start such move and it was no fault of
his that it did not materialize.s<f saw the
large possibilities of such a move and tried
TO plant his ideas, but withoutavail. Large
areas OF the finest kind OF grazing land
goes TO vast each year for want of little
push. While the Indian does not want to
venture, his white brothers are grasping the
the opportunity he lets slip and thus in the
early spring many carloads Of young "beefs'
will be unloaded and put out to Craze for
fattening purposes and in the fall will be
rounded up I'D and again SHIPPED back for
Slaughter. This will shortly be the leading
industry in these parts and the quicker our
people grasp the idea the quicker they will
get in on the ground floor.

Ashland News Goes Over Situation
In Following Article.

Since the meeting held here by Governor
McGovern there has been considerable dis
cusSion over the fact that he failed to make
any mention whatever in favor Of Philip who
is the candidate for governor with him on
the same ticket and that also he refrained in
any way from mentioning LaFollette.
On the other hand it is being commented
by the papers of the State that Philip makes
no reference to McGovern. The bulk Of
Philips speech is a very savage attack on
the present Republican. administration and
he spends most of the time in denouncing
the extravaganza at Madison and declaring
that if he is elected he s.will clean out the
capital With addresses like this which in
reality are reflection on McGovern's admin
istration leaves the situation so that Philip
cannot consistently say anything in McGov-
ern's behalf though he is associated with
him on the same ticket and the result is he
does not mention Philips name.
The fact that neithes Of them mention
LaFollette''s name is also significant. Both
McGovern and Philip hope to get LaFol-
lette votes and for that reason do not dare
attack .I.aFollette though LaFollette has de-
nounced in very severe language in his
magazine. both McGoyern and Philip during
the past few weeks ne
LaFollette seems TO be very hostile to Me-
Govern and has denounced him in extreme
ly bitter terms both on his record as COVER
and On his various shifts in political circles
When McGovern was candidate against
Morris for senate he made-some very bitter
replies to LaFollette and LaFollette attacks
but since he is now running for senate as
the nominee of the Republican party he has
been very careful not to say one word against
LaFollette for fear of course that he will
lose support among LaFollette Republicans
who have always been very friendly to his
opponent, Senator Hustine.
Several of the leading Lafolette newspap-
ers are already opposing him and quite a
number~of prominent LaFollette leaders have

Shere are approximately 5000 of these

generally mixed bloods and are undoubt-
Chippewas They frequently visit on

cir legal status has never been fixed, how

Ed that there shall be an investigation to

d this was stricken out. The proviso for

Iered, however, and Or. Wooster will
" conduct this investigation.
It is believed by many that the Lost

ian tribes of northern Wisconsin and
{nnesota, and the belief is that they LETT

I.cted. Just why they left their tribes, if
Nv did leave them, is not known. There
io deep seated feud, apparently, between

/ possibilities are, that if they did leave
E.ir tribes some generations ago, and set
business for themselves on the shores of

h investigation which DR.. Wooster expects
start in about week is expected to re-

ch allotments, and have been trying to get

Mote 10 Seek Divorce Here,

Following close upon the report that
Jordan Laurence Mott Sd. who in 1912
eloped with Mrs, Frances Hewitt Bovine

Bovine and Mrs Manning were married
