Bay paper company, has invented a
process whereby he says waste paper
can be reclaimed and made into news

his process, which is patented, all
waste paper can be resolved into fresh
paper as often as brought back to the
mill, much the same as soiled linen
is renewed by the laundry. The paper

to have greater strength than ordi-
nary newsprint Publishers who have

Most of the LOO Chippewa Indians
on the COuderay Indian reservation
are assembled at Whitefish lake on
the reservation for their annual war
dance which is held for ten days, the
dancing reaching it's height about the
Fourth Of July. The Indians put on
their Oldtime war paint, dress up in
leather clothing adorned in beads and
feathers, and many of the old ones
feel hostile toward the whites, as they
did before the advent Of the white sett-
lers. Several years ago white visitors
to the dances were looked upon with
disfavor by the Indians, and picture
taking forbidden. But of late they do
not object and settlers for miles
around never miss witnessing the fes-
rivals. Christian Indians attend but
only pagans take part in the dancing
festivals. Old Indians relate war sto-
ries and explain the meaning of the
war dance.
