AN INNOVATION IN DlNNlNG CAR
SERVICE

SPECIAL CLUB SERVICE is the latest
feature to be introduced by the Chicago
North Western Railway Co., for the con-
x.nience of patrons on their dining cars.
A wide choice of complete Club service
menus are provided for breakfast, luncheon
and dinner, each menu including liberal
number of attractive and appetizing special.
ties which are offered at popular prices.
Under this new arrangement patrons will
be quickly served with lesser portion than
that which would be furnished to them from
the regular complete la carte menu.
At,ractivey printed menus have been es-
pecially provided for this service which be-
comes effective on all dining cars of the

1t is anticipated that this new service will
meet with popular favor from the travelling

From Late Advises Treaty Is Not
To Be Enforced
Lenroot and Sells On Record To This Effect 1,
is Claimed.

In recent dispatches and advices from
Washington, d. c, received by Congress
man I. L. Lenroot it seems that Commits
sioner of Indian affairs Cato Sells has given
out the information that this territory will
remain wet, so far as Indian treaties are
concerned and we have no reason to doubt
the truthfulness OF the information, hut it
would seem that something is going wrong
with that fearless whiskey fighter ,ato Sells
and we cannot bring ourselves to believe he
has given up. Of course we were always
waiting for just this thing as we knew that
in some manner the liquor interests would
stem the tide, but it is only momentarily.
and tho fight has Just started We are pos
tive that Commissioner Sells will be found
doing all in his power to retard the sale of
whiskey in Indian territory. When we say
the higet has just began it is true and again
we wish to say that the Indian treaties in
this district will prohibit whiskey from be-
ing sold in the ceded territory as each and
every one provides for. One of the biggest
fights in the history of Indian treaties is on
now in earnest and no stone will not be left
unturned to secure grand final to all.
The matter is to be taken to Congress, the
courts, and the Interior Department and
money is now being raised for the purpose
of a delegation going to Washington and
finish the fight there. 500 petitions are being
circulated and it is believed every Indian in
this territory and their white friends will be
found as signors.
Just to show why liquor should be abol-
ished from this ditrict We cite small bit of
news received by our reporter from chief
Special officer Brenan. While at Saxon,
Wis.,, yesterday he picked up an aged IN
dian couple who had started to visit friends
in Michigan in bad plight. 1t appears
they had been induced to drink by some
lumber jacks while waiting for the South
Shore train and while in intoxicated con-
dition were robbed of all their money and
the woman was badly used by the bunch
of lumber jack, besides the loss of her cloth
ing, hat, coat and skirt, she received several
minor injuries, and this remember is usual
occurance. Now we wish to ask can any
man that has any respect for his country and
people stand by and see such hell holes to
exist in our miisti Can any man with an
ounce of blue blood in his veins stand by
and sec such a snake hole the right to cper-
atel No, we do not think there is not one,
not even Commissioner Sells and this is the
reason we can positively say that liquor will
be driven from Indian ceded territory for
Mr.. Sells will see to il that it is. This is
the onl, way it ever will be driven out and

BRIEF SUMMARY
ON SPRING WORK
Government Farmer Doan
Writes Interestingly
On Spring Work FOR Farmers On this
ReseEvatiog.

We arc again at the beginning Of another
year, and at a season when profitable study
can be done while the farm operations are
not pressing. Those who have. axaled them
selves of the advantages offered by the
experiment stations, by obtaining the val
liable bulletins on the different subjects,
which they are most interested in, those
who are making use Of the bulletins can do
so now, which will aid in planning the
Spring work. Not only should each farmer
get these bulletins from the Wisconsin State
experiment station, but if he expects to be
progressive, and make his farming pay he
should subscribe for at least two good farm
papers, such as adapted to this section Of the
state, and one Of the papers should be on
general farming, the other recognized auth
ority on live stock.
By reading and studying these papers and
bulletins he can become acquainted with
some of the problems that confront him,

not include the so-called state school and
swamp land which is St present in litigation
and when settled will add many millions of
millions of feet mere to the above estimate.
With the accepting of this bid it closes one
of the many hard fights for the prices Of
timber and which during same many heat

left to fight for now is the road apqropria-
tion and that should be entered into by all.

the placing of an injunction stopping them
from further operation in the premises by
c. d. Armstrong, they were forced to quit
and since that time these parcels of lard
have been IN litigation. The government
later issued patents to Indians on the same
and hearings in the matter were held with
the Indian winning out in every instance.
1t is claimed by the state that in 1850 and
again in 1855 the government, to encour--
age the reclamation OF swamp lands, enter
ed into agreements with the state of Wis
consin by which. it Is asserted, it bound
itself to grant large tracts of swamp lands.
by the sale of which land and its timber
and other land was to be reclaimed. Parts
of these lands subsequently became parts of
the reservations of the Bad River and Lac
Du Flambeau bands of Chippewa Indians.
For these the government refuses to grant
patents to the state. The title to these
lands has since remained in doubt.
In the session of the Wisconsin legisla-
ture in 1915 il, adopted resolution asking
a..
Wisconsin congressman to help the state to
obtain whnt it is entitled too in the case.
"A copy has been sent to each Of the Wis.
consul members. Representative Esch has
invited the Badger delegation together to
consider the claims. Representative Konop
lof this state is member Of the Indian COM
mittee on Indian lands. 1t is said the In
dams will again make stubborn fight for
ithe retaining Of their land which is coveted
by the white man. The reason it 10 con-
tended that the Indian lost the decision at
Madison last fall was that they we're repre-
sensed by counsel in the form of an attor-
ney that did not know anything of the mat.
ter and as a consequence the Indian suffer-.
ed defeat. This is mstter that is of vital
importance to all and the best OF counsel is
to be secured and IT. the cspsct we learn.

We understand that Wisconsin Congress
men are preparing for united action that the
state may obtain swamp lands worth it IS
claimed in the neighborhood of $l.OC0, ZOO,
title to which has been in litigation between
the Indian and the State has been on tor
years past, and on several different occasions
has been heard and decision made in favor
of the Indian and in every instance the case
has been taken back to the lower court tor
a re-hearing in the case and thus again the
case was taken to the United States Supreme
Court. In the last hearing held at Madison,
Wis, last fall was the first time that the
state was given decision it the matter and
that was before Judge Sanhorn.
Several years back representatives Esch
had bill before Congress looking to set
tlement of these cases and was killed by the
apressiyeness of certain Indians on tbs les
eryation. This was in 1910, and was known
as the Escl. Bill. The history of this mat
ter would make a volume. In the early
