Ready For Any Emergency.

1t was announced officially today
that the forces in Mexico have pro-
visions on hand to carry them up to
May Is, at least. In addition the
lines of supply are so well estab-
lished that every emergency can be
met promptly. 1t is understood also
that arrangements have been COM
pleted to supply the cavalry demands
beyond the border with additional
mounts during the period of recuper-
alton which is to follow the redispo-
sition of the American forces. There
will be no further developments in
the situation until after the confer
ence between Generals Scott and OBJ
regon unless the troops are attacked.
The whole matter of the pursuit OF
Villa or withdrawal of the American
troops is at a complete standstill
temporarily.

TREATY TERRITORY DRY BY PROXY
Northern Minnesota Territory
Dry BY Mistake
Treaty Under Which 1t Was Made Dry
Is Valid

While we advocated treaty enforce,
ment and Dry territory, we also ad-
vocate it be done "on the square" 1t
is now history that large part Of
Northern Minnesota has been made
"dry'' by a treaty law that was sup
posed to SILL be in force, and under
this presumption Departmental or
der was issued calling for it's enforce
ment and was executed and is now
in force. Now, we wonder why it is
that such is the case and why it is no
person has stopped to look at that
treaty. The Department claims all the
lands ceded by the Indians. Now, the
question is, if these sections come un-
der the treaty enforcement act then
the land does not belong to the gov
ernment but still remains as the
property of the Indian and as such
should be claimed by him. Now on
the other hand if the government
lays claim to all this land ceded, they
cannot enforce any Jaws entered in
to by the Indians, as these laws would
be and in fact, are valid and on.
longer in existence.
In the past week we have had many
Indians call at this Office in regards,
to this matter and it was their un-
animous opinion that the government,
is, in the enforcement Of their treaty
rights, acknowledging the fact that
they do not own /any parcel Of lands
on which such enforcement is made"
Further, the treaty under which such
enforcement has been made is no
longer in force and dntil a new treaty
is made is null and void. It is freely
talked Of, throughout all this terri
tory, that the Indians will unite and
seek to regain the lands claimed by.
the Government, as they claim that
if the government can under the guise.
of Indian lands, enforce treaties. they
acknowledge the Indian right to such
lands. Legal counsel is to be secured
and fight made to regain their lost
land.

weeks our village has been visited by
several real estate men with an eye
to securing tracts Of land for colonial

q country to farming. It is more than
probable that some deal will be made
whereby these people can be located
here,for just at present roads are not
available for Indians to farm and if
these same tracts Of land can be
purchased by these parties they will
Immediately have good roads built to
accommodate their people, and it

SCHOOL SECTIONS AGAIN safe
Bill Introduced Last Congress
Is Killed.

fore Settlement Is Made.

The bill introduced last session OF

swamp land has been killed entirely.

direction. This certainly has been a
long drawn out fight and promises to
continue SO for some time. These sec
tions of lands are very valuable in
timber as it is $250,000 and more of
pine stands on them which is said to
be the best and largest group of
timber remaining on this reservation.
In the past year many bills have
been introduced in Congress looking
toward the cutting Of this tract but
each time it has been killed. The last
bill being presented last winter and
was placed under the guise of the
state and bid fair to pass until it was
discovered and it then met the fate
of all previous measure of like char
acter. The land is also of much value
for farming, being as good as can be
found on this reservation and its near
ness to the South Shore tracks makes
it Of double value. Patents have been
issued on all these tracts to Indians
as allottments and thus have been
recognized by the government as be-
longing to the Indians and as such
were. patented and to date a most bit
ter fight has been waged by the state
for its purchasers, the J. S. Stearns
Lumber Co., but so far without sue
cess. It is no nearer settlement TO-
day than it was at the beginning.

Alex Gingles, chairman of Sanborn

day afternoon and in conversation
with him we learn that during the
coming summer much road work is to
be done on the reservation to help our
Indian farmers by building several
pieces of roads to their farms. Mr..
Gingles is always found willing to
lend his aid to aid Indian farmers in
the way of woods and the repairing
of same. Another piece Of work that
is slated for repairs is the Ashland
