an early thunder shower dampened the
ardor of many who cancelled arrange

from the Alberta country arrived in

definite, / called Senator Clapp's at
tention to it and expressed the wish
that he would have it amended when
it reached the Senate. That was the
practical way of securing the amend
ment, as the House Indian Committee
was opposed to the change. Senator
Clapp had it promptly amended in
the Senate Indian Committee, of
which he was chairman, by substl-
tuting for the language of the House
bill the provisions of a bill which
he had introduced and recently passed
in the Senate, and which I had re-
introduced in the House and used in
applications for this legislation be-
fore the Indian Committee of the
House, Senate bill 7472 and House
bill 254O7. This amendment of
the House provision became the law
granting the school, except for a
slight correction subsequently made
in the description in a part of the
land.
The Indian appropriation bill, as re-
ported and pres ented to the House,
provided only for the disposition of
two schools, the one at Morris and one
at Chamberlain, S. D. This latter
authorization had. as was informed,
been inserted just before the bill was
reported, at the request of Hon. E.
w. Martin, of South Dakota, who
was then a member of that commit
tee. When the bill was considered in
the House the expected happened
it was amended by adding two more
schools, one in Colorado and one in
Nebraska, and two more were added
in the Senate. The language used in
the House in authorizing the DISPOSE
ton of these schools was, as to all of
them, amended in the Senate, except
as to the one in Nebraska, which was
stricken out.
1t is not an easy task to induce
Congress to give away school such
as that at Morris, costing the Govern
ment upward of a hundred thousand
dollars, and especially is that true
where the precedent established would
result in giving away several hundred
thousand dollars worth of like pro-
perty, and hence in securing action in
the House other Minnesota Members
were not only consulted but induced to
take an active interest with me in the
matter, notably Hon. F. C. Stevens,
Of St. Paul, who appeared with me
before the Indian Committee and 9TH
erwise actively aided in securing the
legislation. Hon. C. A. Lindbergh
was then member of that commit
tee, and there supported it strongly.
The legislation granting the school
originated in the House, was first
passed there, and was afterwards
amended and passed in the Senate.
Senator Clapp was actively interested
in passing it in the Senate, and took
care of it there. -
Aside from the Members of the
House and Senate who participated in
the passage of this legislation, Hon.
L. C. Spooner was especially solicit
GUS to procure it and took very &C.
tive part with others in having the
State accept the grant.
