The Tomahawk., 1917-05-24
Old Crow Wing !
Vicinity,

Although the younger genera
ton Of members of this reserva-
ton will not feel much, if any, in
terest in old Grow Wing and it's
vicinity, there are many of the
older people here who no doubt
will, and for this reason we will
give brief out line Of the present
appearances of the country there.
Where formerly existed the
wide awake village of Grow Wing,
only one cottage but numerous
celIers can be seen. At the old
ferry the road on the west side Of
the river is still plainly visable,
but on the cast side it is hardly
discernable. The willows that
we're on the fiat have all been
cleared, and there is now Il garden,
or field. In fact the site of the
old village is nearly all under cul-
tivation, and is being cared for by
a Frcnchman named Bonsley.
!. All that can be seen Of the Cath
Ole Church is the stone foundation
which still remains. The ceme-
tary is in fair condition, bat could
be improved.> Except for the
clearing at the Episcopal cemetary,
and few hcadstones at old graves,
it could not be known as ceme-
tary. So far as the Episcopal
Church is concerned, it could not
be known by the appearances of
the location that there had ever
been a building there.
Across the Mississippi River
from Crow Wing and on the point
where Mrs. Aitken and family
formerly lived, a fine farm and
good buildings have been estab-

U. S. by Indians.

MarshGeld, Ore The Gss:ess Bay
tribe Of Indians is making a cam
paign to obtain a $12,OO0,000 al
lowance from the federal govern
ment. The tribe makes the claim
that the government failed to give
it lands around Coos Bay under an
agreement made more than so
years ago. An old treaty has
been unearthed which, it is said,
will bring the sum demanded

bursements should be carefully
audited by this expert. We have
a right TO know how much money
we have received in the past and
how much has been used, and what
it was used for and what we have
left. We are today as ignorant of
our affairs in those respects as
though we had 10 financial affairs
what,so ever. The receipts of the
tribe mount in large figures and
ought not to be so difficult to COM
pule. But the expenditures need
careful attention. Every item
should be examined carefully and
every penny accounted for and
then traced to see if it was so ex-
pended. Not before this is done
will we ever get down to a bust
ness like basis. Give this matter
your serious thought and be pre-
pared to take it ur intelligently at
the general council.-Fort Peck
Sioux Pioncer.
The Fort Peck Sioux Pioneer is
advocating for the Fort Peck
Sioux what the Chippewas have
been clamoring for for years but
which the Indian office at WASH
inyton seems to be reluctant about
giving, namely; and accounting to
the Indian tribes regarding the
manner in which their tribal funds
are being expended.
Several years ago congress
passed a resolution requiring the
Interior Department to make an
accounting to the Chippewas re
garding the manner in which tribal
funds of the Chippewas have been
expended. Two different reports
by the Indian Office were made,
and simply showed how much of
the tribal funds had been expend-
ed and the source from which this
fund had been derived. The &C
counting CD which was published
by The ToMAHAwK was contained
in less than two columns although
it was shown that more than six
millions of dollars had been ex-
pended.
1t is hoped that next winter a
resolution will be passed by con-
gress which will require the Office
to give full, detailed accounting
of the manner in which Chippewa
funds have been expended.

Heaviest Air Coolest.

Heaviest air is coolest and clear
still atmosphere allows this to- settle
down to the soil, though 1t may be ten
degrees warmer ten feet higher. Wind
keeps the cold air from settling and
mixes it with warmer strata at varying
heights SO that all near the earth is
Of uniform temperature and warm
enough that vegetation is not harmed
thereby.

Kind Thouuhts Of Us.

Life: Along of the peace proposal,
General Malleterre (Frenchman) was
quoted as saying:
We are aware that certain neu-
trails are suffering through the
war. Our thoughts are often with
the American people, with the
American workmen who are en-
during a marked increase in the
cost of living. We are grateful
to them. But the allies who are
fighting for a humanitarian peace
are suffering still more.
We appreciate these words of
sympathy from our good friend. Will
someone please break it to him that
the American workmen are enduring
not only a marked increase in the cost
of living but a ditto in wages, and
that the fttest objects of his kind
thought are persons on salaries which
have not been. raised and the Ameri-
can newspapers and periodicals, which
have to pay so much too much for pa

The cloak the Arab wears is cut

separable covering. 1t is his coat by
day and his blanket by night. 1t was
this cloak that in Old Testament times
had to be returned at night-fall IL 1t
had been taken in pledge during the
day. Otherwise the Semitic would have
had no covering when he slept. These
abas, as they are called, are becoming.

laundry basket, wash tub, bath tub,
a trunk and a clean storage place for
laundry. Made of sheet steel, it defies
the baggage handler, and with firm
enamel, 1t looks good wherever used. 1t
has a plug at the bottom to let water
out without lifting. 4 The invention
came about because the common trunk
does not keep out dampness, and in
thinking out plan for rainproof
trunk, the inventors thought that when
SIS are put into such a thing it ought
to be useful at other times than when
travelling. This led to fitting the box
for as many uses as possible.
