Every other section of land up
on all Indian reservations should
be open to white farmers who
should become actual settlers up
on the reservation, by sale by al
lottecs, and if net allottees by
sale under special laws which
would require the purchasers of
the land to themselves go upon
and cultivate them.
Experience upon this reserva-
ton under the Clapp Act has
shown what Commissioner Luepp
said was intended only as an ex-
pertinent, that it has proved to be
a success. The white farmers
have done more towards teaching
the incompetents to become self
supporting in the way the govern
ment has tried to do than could
have been accomplished in fifty
years although the act has been in
force only since 1906.
1t has been the experience of
the Chippewas that although some
times some farmers have taken a
slight advantage over their ignor-
ance, that on the whole the farm
ers have been controlled by their
better natures and have always
bern proud to show their superior
ity over a dependent race by help
ing them whenever they needed
assistance.
When the Act Of 1889 was be-

Last week, before the Indian
committee, we are informed, Sen.
Clapp of the committee discussed
strongly in favor of referring to
the Court of Claims the Sioux
claims for annuities, and in these
discussions did not hesitate to
state that attorneys fees at ten
per cent of the amount which they
might recover was most reason
able compensation. He also said
that because some Sioux took the
war path fifty years ago there was
no justification in depriving all the
Sioux the annuities to which they
we're clearly entitled under treaty
stipulatioas for lands they had
coded. Senator Clapp was right,
for many of the Sioux even
fought against hostile members OF
the tribe. Sitting Bull and his
band fought the United States for
wears. but many other Sioux were
not made to suffer the loss OF their
treaty rights on this account; the
South fought against the
North during the same time as the
Minnesota Sioux did in 1862, and
the South did not lose any of its
rights by SO doing, so that these
precedents should be followed in
the Sisseton and Wahpeton Sioux
claims for annuiJies.'

The Red Lake Forestry
Reservation Bill.

Congressman Stevenson, at the
request of Senator Nelson, recent
w presented to the Indian commit
tee of the House the Nelson Red
Lake bill to create a forestry res
ervation upon the Red Lake Res
ervation, but the committee re
fused to put it upon the Indian
appropriation bill as requested by
Mr.. Stevenson.
The Red Lake bill does not
effect any of the Chippewas of
Minnesota except the Red Lake
band, and if it should become a
law the members of that band
would practically lose their homes
and improvements.
If the Red Lake Indians do not
wish to allow their rights to go by
default they should commence
without delay suits to compel the
Department of the Interior to al
lot them the lands for which many
of them have filed applications
several years ago under existing
laws.
It would be great injustice to
the Red Lake Indians to create a
forestry reservation upon the Red
Lake Reservation, aud u violation
of the agreements made with
them, and especially to sell the
pine tim ber of the reservation in
the manner proposed.
1t is an open secret to Northern
Minnesota that the object of the
proposed reservation is to allow
the pine timber to be cut as dead
and down timber, which every
person of experience in timber
matters knows would be agains.

1t was not characteristic OF Brouil-
lard-the Brouillard Grislow knew
'best-that he should suffer the purely
technical talk Of dams and reservoirs,
bedrock anchorages, and the latest
word in concrete structural processes
to languish and should drift into per-
sonal "reminiscences over their first
evening campfire in the Niquoia.
"As you were saying?" Grislow
prompted, stretching himself luxuri-
ously upon the fragrant banking Of
freshly clipped spruce tips, with his
feet to the blaze and his hands locked
under his head. He felt that Brouil-
lard was merely responding to the
subtle influences Of time, place and
encompassments and took no shame
for being an analytical rather than a
sympathetic listener. The hundred-odd
men of the pioneer party, relaxing
after the day-long march over the
mountains, were smoking, EARNING, or
playing cards around the dozen or
more campfres. The evening, with a
half-grOwn moon silvering the inverted
bowl of armament which seemed to
shut down, lidlike, upon the mountain
rim of the high-walled valley, was

Brouillard was not what the West
calls "jumpy." Four years of field
work, government OF other, count for
something; and the man who has
proved powder-shy in any stage Of bis
grapple with the Land of Short Notice
is customarily a dead man.
In spite Of his training, however, the
young chief of construction, making an
early morning exploration OF the site
for the new dam, WINGED handsomely
when the shock OF distance-mufled
explosion trembled upon the crisp
morning air, coming, as 1t seemed,
from some point near the lower end
of the canyon.
The decorating crash reminded him
forcibly that the presence Of the tour
ing party was asserting itself The ex-
plosion was too heavy to figure as a
gunshot. Therefore it must have been
an accident of some sort-possibly the
blowing up of the automobile.
Between this and hurried weight
ing of the sheaf of blueprints with his
fieldglass preparatory to a tirst-aid
dash down the outlet gorge, there was
no appreciate interval But when he
came to his outlook hating place OF

been no accident. The big touring car
yellow with the dust of the Buckskin
stood intact on the sand fiat where
It had been backed and turned and
headed toward the desert. Wading in
the shadows of the river with a liner
dust robe for a seine, the two younger
men Of the party were gathering tbs
choicest of the dead mountain trout
with which the eddy was thickly dot

The number Of lambs received by
the large markets greatly exceeds the
number Of sheep. Before the West
turned to mutton production the re-
verse was true, but now it is esti-
mated that lambs constitute so per
cent Of the total receipts OF the Chi
cago market and doubtless the same
is true OF the other large markets.
Not only has there been change
In the relative numbers Of sheep and
lambs marketed, but there has also
been a change in the distribution OF
the lambs through the different sea
sons. Formerly when the supply was
drawn almost exclusively from native
focks, they were on the market in
appreciable numbers during the sum
mer and early autumn months only
but now they are received every week
In the year AS the large numbers re
ceiyed would indicate, lambs are pre-
ferred by the consumer, and this even
distribution Of them throughout the
year has doubtless greatly stimulated
consumption.

II there were not serious conse-

the way some cattlemen object to the
tuberculin test, because it is not ac-
curata. The trouble is that 1t is too
accurate to suit these men. In over
ninety-eight cases out Of one hundred,
In which the tester has claimed the tu-
berculin test showed tuberculosis, and
nost-mortem examination has been
made It has showed the test and the
tester correct. 1t is probable that I'LL
bercuIin never causes an elevation OF
temperature unless the animal has Ju-
berculosis. The tester may make a
mistake occasionally, but If he only
fails in two cases out Of one hundred
the test is remarkably accurate. We
know of nothing Of this nature in
which mans Judgment is involved that
Is more accurate.

Cannot Talk to Prisoners.

London. July 28-Speeches which
he had made to prisoners, describing
them as martyrs, and demonstrations
held by the prisoners when he visited
them. were given as the reasons by the
crown attorney why Laurence Ginne1,
Irish nationalist member Of parlla-
ment for North Westmeath, had been
refused permission to visit Irish pris
Oners in England, when hearing of the
charge against him of attempting to
gain admission into the KnutsfOrd bar
racks was resumed in the Bow street
police court today.
The crown attorney said that when
Ginneu visited the Irish prisoners at
Stafford, he told them they had done
more for the Irish cause than anybody
else, and that they were looked upon
as martyrs.
on a similar visit to the prison at
Wadsworth there was a disturbance
among the prisoners who carried Gin
nell around on their shoulders. After
this incident an order was issued re-
fusing Ginneu permission 10 visit any
places where Irish prisoners were de-
tanned and he was arrested when he
tried to gain admission at Knutsford
barracks under the name of Lebries
McFingle.
Mr.. Ginnen was fined 100 pounds
sterling
Laurence Ginneu was arrested at
the detention barracks at knutstord
on July IS. On being arraigned he
protested TO the magistrate against his
arrest. saying there was no case
against him. The name McFfngle, he
asserted, was Irish for Ginnel and the
whole incident could easily be ex-
planned He was remanded for tr7al
and released under bond.
