In building his great northwest
ern empire James ]. Hill devoted
time, energy and money in educat-
ing the settlers to become more
thrifty of their resources, to plant
two crops where only one was
raised before and to stock the waste
lands. He opened up markets for
the sale OF their wheat and stock
with the result that six wealthy
states and 10000 farms stand as a
mighty tribute to the value Of
thrift.
One of Mr.. Hill'a.. axioms was
that prosperity not based on econ

He let it be known that he did
not place high value on the man
who could not save, for he believed
that TO save means ability to deny
and control ones self; when you
are master of yourself, you will be
able to master others, and with
money thus at hand. you will be
able to seize opportunity when il
comes along. One OF his favorite
sayings was: Opportunity comes

Little Rock, Ark, June 6.-Fifty-

INDIANS
win S711,000 SUIT
AGAINST THE J.. S,

st. Paul, MinE., June 6.-The sum
of $711, 900 will be distributed among
Minnesota Indians as the result of a
decision given yesterday in the Unit
ed States court of claims at WASH
ington, according to reports received
in St. Paul.
The case has been pending for
seven years, based on alleged VIOLA
tion by the government Of the Nell
son act, passed in 1889.
The act provided for the pooling
of all reservational lands in the state,
with removal of the Indians thereon
to the White Earth reservation, the
Red Lake band being the only excep-
ton. The lands thus relinquishe
coming under the head of agricul-
tural and pine lands, were to be held
in trust by the federal government,
revenue from them to go into the
United States treasury, with the in
terest reverting to the Indians. The
act further provided that after d
period of so years the money was
to be divided, pro rata, among the
surviving Indians.
Claiming that in the case of the
Mile Lacs band Of Chippewas, the
government had not kept faith with
the Indians, but had made unauthor-
lied disposal of the reservation under
the public lands law, Senator M. E.
Clapp, then chairman of the commit
tee on Indian affairs, obtained a juris-
dictional act, by means of which the
Indians were enabled to sue the gov
ernment.
Last December judgment was en-
tered against the government in favor
of the Indians. The government
moved a new trial, and this motion
was denied yesterday

The accepting of the present loca-

controversy of many months. When
the matter first came up propositions
submitted by the railway company
to the city were not agreeable to the
city and propositions from the city to
the railway company were not agree
able to the railway company.
When the lake shore project was
planned a number of citizens petit
toned to have the road constructed
to Third street. The council two
weeks ago decided to construct the
road to Second street. Officials of
the railway company stated that the
company would fight the Second
street project, so citizens urged the
council and the railway company to
agree on route. A special commit
tee of the council conferred with Mr..
Gemmell last Friday and the present
location wassxiecided upon. -. ..-zs~s
