GAME WAS VERY ROUGH
The lrorwo0d--Odana Basket Ball
Game Unfinished. /.

The basket ball game at the Loyal Thea
tire last Friday evening ended in a dispute
over the making of basket Ironwood re-
fused to continue the game, even after they
were given the disputed basket. 1t Ithappen-
ed in the second half and Odanah was play
ing Ironwood off its feet !. At the end of
the first half the score stood 7 to 20 in
favor of Ironwood. 1t is conceded that in
this half Ironwood outplayed Odanah and at
the same set too fast a pace for their own
men, for in the second half they could not
keep up the pace while Odanah just began
to play and up to the time of the dispute
when Ironwood quit the score was Odanah
10; Ironwood 26; The dispute that broke
up the game was caused by the Ironwood
men making a basket after the whistle had
been blown for foul on ;ronwood and un-
der the rules when the referee calls foul
no basket made by Gather side counts, but
Ironwood refused to play unless given the
basket and quit the game after they were
given the same. A nice crowd was. out to
the game and everybody were sorry to see
the game terminate in this manner, but it
was not really the fault of our boys as they
gave them two points. There was 10 min
utes to play yet and the way our boys were
going would certainly of won the game.

ST. MARY'S SCHOOL NOTES

: The pupils of St. Mary's are engrossed in
the study of sfAlcohol and its Effects. -
This is the subject of the composition con-
test for this year, selected by Commissioners
Sells. There can be hardly any doubt bu,
that the study of this subject must prove
fruitful in good results as regards the future
of St. Mary's $40 young citizens.
Father Optatus delivered forcible sermon
on the same subject last Sunday. One Of
his strong statements was that the man who
slowly kills himself by the use of alcohol,
that is, the habitual drinker is more guilty
than the man who, in moment of anger,
discouragement, or despair, takes his own
life. The drinker, he said, has had plenty
of time to reflect upon the guilt of his action
and still goes on shining against his OWL
life, in spite of his better knowledge.

WILL SHORTLY
SECURE SITE
For the Location of Electric
Light Plant
TO Be Installed Here In The Near
Future.

This week we learn definitely that an
electric light and telephone plant is to- be
built in our village shortly. Plans are now
underway looking to an early start in the in
stalling of the telephone exchange. An
order for the telephone equipments already
let and just as soon as the material arrives
work on, the installing of same will be be-
gun. The work of setting poles for lights
and telephones will be undertaken in the
near future. The parties here this week
looking over the situation were highly pleased
with the outlook and very much surprised
to learn of the number of dwellings. It
is still decided as to the location of the ex-
change. The starting on the light plant
cannot be undertaken until the plat OF the
recently surveyed town arrives.

BUSY FOR ROAD
APPROP PRiATION
This Is Badly Needed Right
Now
Department Heads VIII Give
Aid.


Now that the word has just gone forth
that we are after SIS, 900 road appropria-
ton for this reservation it is up to us to do
all we can in order to secure the same we
certainly need it to advance our farming
possibilities. 1t is we'll known that where
ever good roads are found there you see
nice farms with good substantial farm houses
but it IS fact that very small per cent of
our agricultural lands are under cultivation
and the reason for this is insufficient roads.
The interior Department has seen the ad-
visibility to urge the Indian to become
farmers as they know that this is the Indians
salvation when his tinbered lands are gone
the Indian in turn. when roads are to be
found, have responded nobly and today on
this reservation sees as fine farms as can be
found in the state. But now they are up
again a hard proposition, for want of roads.
1t is a certainty that nobody can be expect
ed to go cultivating land were no outlets
are available just so with the Indian. An
appropriation of SIS, 900 would be the means
of allotting many Indians to cultivate their
lands, --that are now impossible to reach for
the lack of roads.-The Indian must take
some action on his part to securing of some
they will be met halfway with the full sup
port of the Interior Department. Get
busy, Don't lag.

other living man, in fact his wife is Sioux
lady. He was actively engaged in the cap
ture Of Sitting Bull and is the author of an
interesting book giving his experiences
among the Indians. His description OF the
battlesin which Genera Custer lost his life
is one of the best eyer written.
The rehearing will involve in the neigh
borhood of 100 to $50 applicants and, asswe
understand, may see many removed from
the list, but should none be removed there
from, It will see fair number added to. 1t,
as it is claimed that many are on there
whose cases are identical with many that
are rejected. Whatever may be the out
come of this rehearing, the matter will be
settled. that is provided no further compli-
cations arise, which we hope will not.
The rejected members in council this
week, elected FIVE members which as l-e
understand, is to be given the right to sit
with the new commission, provided the old
committee is part of the commission. But
whether they will be given the opportunit,
or not cannot at this time be said. The
Committee as elected composes of Rev. J.
w. Martin, H. E. Holiday, chiefs George
Messenger and Sabodise Cloud and F. E.
Greene. It is predicted the work of the
Commission will consume between two to
three weeks.
AS to the Commission as sent from
Washington's work in this matter we must
withhold our comment until the work is
complete, as we all know that experience
is the best teacher.'' While we hope to
see square deal handed all. Through the
courtesy of Rev. ]. w. Martin the COM
mission will be housed at his home on Ka-
