B. L. Fairbanks, Geo. Berry,
Arthur Beaulieu, Frank Beaulieu,
Eugene Warren, William Potter
and David Knickerbocker, mem
bers of the Chippewa Claims Com
mission, went to Detroit last Sun
day to meet Furst & Roe, attorn-
eys of Minneapolis, relative to
Chippewa claims, but no definite
arrangement was made with them.
George B. Edgerton, one of the
attorneys for the Chippewas in
the Mile Lac suit against the
United States, attended the meet
ing of the local council held at the
White Earth Hall last Friday, and
explained the Mile Lac case as 1t
then appeared to him and his as
sociates. Much interest was shown
by the Indians and they listened
attentively 10 what he had to say.

Come And Have A Hearty
Laugh.
PROF, NEWMAN is COMING.

On the 18th and 10th of this
month Prof. Newman will give
entertainments at the White Earth
Hall, commencing at s O'Clock
sharp each evening.
Since Prof. Newman was here
several months ago no one will
doubt his ability to hypnotic any
one who may go upon the stage
for that purpose.
Several prominent citizens of
this place doubted the professors
ability to hypnotic them upon the
occasion of his last visit to this
place, and they went upon the
stage and convinced the audience
that they were hypnotized; they
had the tooth ache, were dentists,
doctors, could not leave their
chairs and did many amusing
things.
Do not fail to see Prof. New
mann on the dates stated.

One OF The None 81
Timber Sales Of An
Indian Agent.

Members of the Pillager bands
complain that the pine timber on
their respective allotments was
sold by the Leech Lake Indian
agent for four dollars per thousand
feet, practically on landings.
The facts regarding the sale of
the pine timber referred to are
such that it is suggested the mat
ter should be submitted to Con.
gress for full and complete in
vestigation.
The same class of pine timber,
in the same vicinity, was sold by
the State Auditors Office at St..
Paul, for nineteen dollars per
thousand feet, and the same class
of pine timber upon this reserva-
ton, for which the government
officials have been making such a
howl, was sold under the Clapp
Act by individual Indians for
$7.5 to $1,000 per thousand feet.

The Indian Question.
Continued from LIST Page.)

Whereas the United States are
also anxious to restore and concen-
trate said tribes to state so desir-
able and necessary for the hap
piness of their people, as we'll as to
enable the Government to arrange
and manage it's intercourse with
them:
Now, therefore, the United
States and the said Indians do
hereby agree that the said people
shall hereafter-bbee known as a ma
ton, to be called the Pottowauto-
mic Nation"
Then, following this provision,
a large tract of country, occupied
by the Chippewa nation, was
coded to the United States, which
the nation eventually had to vacate
although it had never coded it's in
terests, or right Of occupancy, to
the United States. Since then
this has been referred to as
one of the vcxed Indian ques-
tions'' among the Chippewas.
After the United States had es-
tablished the precedent of making
treaties with communities of In
dians, which it designated as
bands, treaties we're frequently
made with several persons who
called themselves chiefs although
they were not so recognized by
the tribes to which they belonged,
and in this manner large tracts OF
country were coded to the United
States without the approval of the
indians interested, and which these
Indians were compelled to vacate.
1t is therefore not surprising
that there were so many Indian
wars before the government
changed its policy by educating
young Indian boys and girls.

Lands Being Sold Cheap.

If the Indian office at Washing
ton would do its duty it should in
vestigate the reason of the sale OF
lands of minors by Supt. Howard
for prices very much less than al
lottees have been selling the same
class of lands under the Clapp
Act.
1t has been stated by an official
that only wholesale robbery com
mitted by Howard, or murder,
would cause the present admins
tration to remove him.
A couple of months ago Inspect
or Traylor, of the Interior De-
partment, came here ostensibly to
investigate certain charges made
against Supt. Howard, and upon
his arrival here specifications of
some of the charges in writing
we're made with a list of witness
es, but with the exception of Chas
Wilkinson, now an employe of
the government, none of the other
witnesses we're approached.
1t was due Supt. Howard and
likewise those who made the
charges to have held an open
hearing.

sumably they were made in the I
cause of Harmony.
Mr.. Vansant was chairman OF
the State Central and Executive
Committees in the contest four
years ago, when Governor Nc
Creary was elected by over thirty
thousand. Mr.. Vansant himself
paid out of his own pocket a large
proportion of the expenses of that
campaign, according to current
report something over thirty
thousand dollars, prompted sole
ly by his desire for Democratic
success and, the determination
that no special interest should
have any claim upon the Demo-
cratic organization of which he
was chairman through contribu-
tons to the campaign fund. He
was chairman in the Presidential
campaign when the State gave
Mr.. wilson a plurality of over one
hundred thousand. He, however
committed the objectionable sin
of opposing Senator Ollie James
for chairman of the convention
that sent delegates to Baltimore.
Now, when the Democrats are
entering upon contest which
faction that won in the primary
think is an easy contest, Mr.. Van
SAINT is decapitated and Mr.. Ha-
ger named for his position.
We are not familiar with the
reason for the other changes.
We do not so appreciate the abili-
ty or importance of the Hon. Ed
wards as to understand why he
should have been sele tied by Mr..
Stanley as his candidate for Lier-
tenant Governor and now as a
member of the Executive Com
mittee of the Democratic party.
| We leave it to the Democrats of
Louisville to give the explanation
for this apparently inexplicable
selection.

4, K, NICHOLS RECORD
WITH A MAXWELL CAR

H. K. Nichols, who makes regular
auto trips to Manning and Killdeer,
rain or shine, helped Editor Doherty
Of the Settler out on Monday as the
following indicates:
Last Monday morning the writer
witnessed a practical demonstration
of what a Maxwell auto can do in the
mud. H. K. Nichols, the Maxwell
agent, met two of us afoot near the
old half way house, that is we had
our feet in the mud and were exer-
cising our imagination as to progress,
he had five in the car, but very
cheerfully told US to hang onto the
running board and he'd take 'er
through. He did. The little old
Maxwell never faltered with it's
burden, although the springs went
perfectly flat every time we hit a
bump. It went up hill, down hill,
through the mud and through the
water, half the time breaking it's own
trail-with load on that would
make any car grunt on the best
roads-and the water in the radia-
tor never turned a hair. The roads
were in the worst condition that we
have ever seen them in the past
two years but the Maxwell car
brought us through as cheerfully and
as unfalteringly as Nick said it would
when he told us to hang onto the
running board, way down there in the
thick Of the mud by the old half way
house. This is no advertisement, it's
an actual occurrence and if there is
anyone who has anything to say
against a Maxwell car, he'll have to-
tell it to someone else than the edi-
tor of this vehicle of information.
And we will not forget to add that
the fellow who sells them is just as
reliable as the car.

M|N|NBERG'S CO, MOVES T !.
TAKES LARGER QUARTERS

The Mininberg Automatic Adver-
tising Co. moved this week into the
Walton & Davis Co. building formerly
occupied as broom factory. This
gives the firm more space and other
accommodations that were needed.
1t seems that the Mininberg Auto
matte Advertising Co. is now past the
experimental stage. The last two
machines put out are working very
satisfactorily. Machine No. 1 is
placed at the St. Charles, while the
second machine is being operated in
Bismarck. Within a few days ma
chimes will be shipped to Mandan and
jamestown and the officers hope to-
enter the Twin Cities and Chicago
fields early the coming year. !
The company has employed Messrs.
Ufer and Foster to take charge Of
tie manufacturing end, giving them
three helpers on the start, with the
expectation of increasing the force
to ten in the near future. 1t is ex-
pected that the business will de-
velop to such proportions that it will
be necessary to employ Is or 20 men
by this time another year. s
So far Mr.. Mininberg, the inventor,
has managed to have everything
manufactured in Dickinson. 2

POULTRY SHOW WILL
Be ELABORATE AFFAIR

Just a little over four weeks re-
mains in which to prepare to exhibit
at the Dickinson poultry show-en-
tries close December 8-less than a
month away.
A premium list of which the Of
fcers of the association may we'll be
proud has been arranged, and it is
confidently expected that the coming
attraction will be the biggest event
Of it's kind ever held in the north
west. Breeders from all parts of
the Slope have signified their inten-
ton of showing and, as the date of
the show approaches, the interest
will increase.
Cash premiums and ribbons will
be awarded in non-standard varieties
as we'll as standard, and the entry fee
will be the same. This will permit
breeders of Barred Rocks to exhibit
both matings, or cockerels and pull
let's from single matings may be
shown.
Every poultry raiser-big or lit
tle-should have an exhibit, even if
it consists of but one or two birds.
Exhibitors do not have to accompany
their birds nor prepare elaborate
coops. The association provides free
coops and feed, meets all trains and
conveys the exhibits to and from the
show room and in every way pro-
tects the interests of the exhibitor.
The corn show, which will be held
in conjunction with the poultry show,
promises to be an interesting feature,
and while the present year has not
been a good year for corn, neverthe-
less there is sufficient in this terri
tory to make good showing. Plan
to be in Dickinson during the corn
show week-December IS, 16, II and
18. The Armory is the place, and
doors will be open from 8 a. m. to
10 p. m. The building is central
heated and will always be comfort
able.

THRESHlNG DELAYED AGAIN

The farmers suffered another seri-
Gus delay to threshing operations the
first of the week on account of .65
of an inch of rain which fell Saturday
night and during the day Sunday.
For a time it looked as though the
country was in for a real snow
storm, but the weather did not get
very cold and the little snow that
fell soon melted.
In many places in Montana and
inches of snow fell on the 7th.
Sidney and other places in the lower
Yellowstone valley had about this
amount of snow. There was little
snow as far east as Beach and in
the Oakdale country snow was re-
ported. g....;. ,sss u. .s .s
By the middle of the week it COM
menced to look as though the farmers
could thresh again, and things looked
brighter to everybody.
It is estimated by many people that
at least rs to 80 per cent of the
grain is still in shocks and stacks,
about half and half, and it will prob
ably take two weeks to get through
with the threshing. .'' '....
