Carlisle Needs Houses

Some of our progressive citi-
zens who own vacant lots in Car
Isle should get busy and build
residences and business houses
on them and make them bring
in a revenue instead of laying
idle and doing nobody any good
There are calls every day for
residences, and there is not a va
cant house in town. A few nice
cottages would be one of the
greatest additions that could be
made to Carlisle at this particu-
lar time, when there is so much
demand for residence property
Every one that could be builtin
reasonable length of time would
be occupied almost as soon as
finished.
More new business buildings
should be built to accommodate
lines of business of different
kinds and it would not be long
until they would be occupied.
Some people have the idea that
when new business starts up
carrying the same line that they
are, that somebody is going
broke This is sad mistake as
the more business firms we have
the more people will come here
to trade. That's why so many
people go away from home to
buy goods. There are more
stores in the city, consequently
they draw more trade. Every
body in Carlisle should trade at
home, and there is every reason
to believe they will do it if we
will get busy and build and make
room for more people to do bust.

Agency Allies Would
Abolish the Indian
Office.

One of the amusing incidents Of
the Bemidji council was the reso-
luton passed by the late allies of
the Agency forces in favor of
abolishing the Indian Office at
Washington.
The Agency forces not only used
their warehouse protegees to assist
those who obtained temporary con-
troll of the local council upon this
reservation, but the few members
of the Chippewa bands who hold
government positions here, and a
few of the members of their res
pective families, took an active
part on behalf of the Agency'<
former allies.
The fact that the Indian en-
pIoyees in the government service
took such an active and effective
part in assisting the factions, to
which their fathers and other rela.

derived than all the other Minne-
sofa bands combined. The band
that put in practically nothing,
and which through the man 1t
recognizes as its leader is inter-
fering more with the manner OF
distributing tribal funds than any
other band is the Fond du Lac
band.
Considerable discussion has been
caused by the desire of many men,
bers of the Mississippi bands to
scyrega:e tribal funds according
to the amounts which have been
received from each reservation,
and to have the Indians upon these
reservations pro rated their shares
accordingly.

Want the Forestry Res
erVatjon Allotted,

One of the leaders of the recent
Bemidji council is building his in
tluenccs upon false representations
to his more ignorant brethren at
Fond du Lac reservation and in
the vicinity of Winnebegoslsh and
Ball Club where he is an Indian
trader, by leading them to believe
he will be able to get Congress to
pass bill which will get them
additional allotments within the
forestry reservation created upon
the Mississippi Chippewa reserva
ton.
1t is the desire of all those who
do not look favorably upon the
deceit that is being practiced by
this man and his associates upon
the ignorant, uneducated full
bloods that they should know the
truth, and for this reason HE
TOMAHAwK suggests to them to
write tho Indian office at Wash
ington and the Minnesota congress-
men and obtain their views as to
the possibility of getting a. bill
through Congress which will pro-
vide for additional allotmcnts upon
the forestry reservation.
The members of the Chippewas
of Minnesota bands who have
spent many winters at Washing
ton feel justified in saying that
there is no possible chance to get
a bill through Congress to give the
Chippewas the right to take addi.
tiona| slIotmen:s upon the forestry
reservation, and for this reason
they are satisfied that the Indians
are being misIed Intentionally into
the belief tina, they will get these
allotments.

Mile Lac Judgment in
Controversy.

The unusual activity of two or
three persons who from motives
Of pure jealousy do not want the
Mile Lac agreement fulfilled with
the person who WAS wholly respOn-
sibIe in obtaining the Judgment,
or laying the foundation for it,
and who do not belong to the
Mile Lac band, has caused a con-
troversy which will delay the pay
ment of the Judgment for several
years if not entirely to all but the
Mile Lac Chippewas:
The Mile Lac band has always
claimed with good grounds that the
liability of the United States for
the contiscation of the Mile Lac
reservation was to that band ex-
clusively; that this liability was
incurred long before the passage
of the Act of January IA, 1889,
commonly called the Nelson Act,
and therefore before the consolida-
ton Of Chippewa interests.
Some uniformed persons upon
this reservation. it is stated,
threaten to sue the Mile Lac
Chippewas for the amount they
have received from the tribal funds
of the Chippewas CT Minnesota on
the grounds that they have put
nothing into the common fund. If
these persons we're not entirely
ignorant of the provisions of CHIP
pewa treaties they might not make
such absurd threats.
AS matter of fact the Mile
Lac band of Mississippi Chippewas
have put in more property togeth-
or with the other Mississippi bands
from which the tribal fund was

First Round In Chippewa
Suit.

Judge Siddons Of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia
rendered a decision in the suit
against the use Of Chippewa funds
for the payment of civil service
employees and denied the prcllm-
mary relief asked for on the
ground that sworn answers of gov
ernment officials deny that the
trust funds are being used for any
purpose other than those provided
for in the Act Of January IA, 1889,
entitled AN Act for the relief and
civilization of the Chippewa In
dams in the State Of Minnesota"
The courts construction, how
ever, of toe trust is as commended
by the attorney for the plaintiff,
and therefore must be favorable to
the Chippewas upon final hearing,

councils against some of the reso-
buttons which Coffey and his asso-
ciates succeeded in passing, and
that many of them will be repudi-
ated by the councils of which the
General Council is merely an auxi-
liary, and especially will the ten
dollars per day and expenses res
olutiop be opposed for services
that will be very doubtful, and
possibly unsatisfactory to the
tribe.
A glance over the Indian ap-
preparation act of March 9, 1917,
shows that the only legislation
which Jim Coffey accomplished
last winter during his two months
visit at Washington, was an amend
ment to the act to pay his expens-
es and those of his brother-in- law
from tribal funds for their trip
there.
The White Earth delegation, Of
which the publisher was member,
succeeded in getting an amend
ment to the act to restrict the use
of $185,O00 appropriated from
Chippewa tribal funds to 100000
for the payment of salaries of en-
ployees, and they made an unsuc-
cessful effort to have this amount
include the one fourth interest on
tribal funds which amount to ap-
proximate|y $4,000. :.
The delegation also secured an
amendment to use $4,000 Of the
amount of $185, 900, for repairing
roads, etc., in order to- give EN-
ployment to the young men of the
reservation, and also an amend
ment to give preference to mem
bers of the Minnesota Chippewa
bands as employees. It also Sc
cured an amendment to pay the
expenses of~sthe Bemldji General
Council, and it was through this
that Jim Coffey was able to secure
for himself and his brotherin-l law
their expenses to Washington from
tribal funds.
A bill was also prepared by the
White Earth delegation to segre
gate tribal funds, and this was
placed in the hands of Attorney
Ballinger to elaborate upon, and
was finally introduced in Congress,
but nothing further was done re-
garding it.
Finally, it was the White Earth
delegation that raised the question
regarding the use of tribal funds
for the payment of salaries to EN-
ployees, and it was the publisher
who paid the attorney the retainer
which caused him to place the suit
where it now is, in the United
States courts.
The White Earth delegation did
not ask the Chippewas of Mime
sofa to pay them ten dollars per
day and expenses, but merely re-
quired their expenses to be paid
from tribal funds.

SUBSCRIPTION: s15oPER YEAR IN ADVANCE
Ten Dollars Per Day Each
And Expenses.

James CoHey and Henry War;
rem ct al, the moving spirits OF
the recent Bemidji council, pushed
through a resolution at the council
providing for their compensation
as members of the legislative com.
mittee of the General Council at
the rate of ten dollars per day
each and their expenses, or a total
of fifty dollars per day for five
members of the committee and
their expenses which would be not
less than twenty-five dollars per
day.
Before the resolution was passed
Ben Caswell arose in the council
and opposed the resolution very
vigorously, and in the course OF
his remarks, we are informed
stated that the ins:igators Of the
resolution seemed to have whole
some fear of the publisher of THE
ToMAHAwK; that he himself had
similar fear, but he now realized
= for the first time the basis OF their
fear since they desired TO push
through a scheme that would Eglve
them each ten dollars per day and
expenses, and which they probably
knew he would oppose.
The publisher was not present
at the council, which he declined
to attend as delegate or as
proxy, otherwise he would have
informed Mr.. Caswell and the
council that he had never been
charged with committing murder,
selling whiskey to Indians, or OF
defrauding any of them as an oth-
cial of the government, though ne
had been charged with every other
offence of the decalogue by his
traducer who would not come out
openly and make the charges for
fear they might be compelled to
prove them.
On behalf of the publisher we
will say that Mr.. Caswell could
have no cause to fear the former
if he will stand openly for the best
interests of the Chippewas Of
Minnesota; but if he wished to
convey the impression that he
feared the publisher desires to
take advantage of the ignorance of
the persons named or the tribe in
general, let him indicate wherein
the actions of the publisher in
tribal matters, or otherwise, has
led him to believe this.
The publisher has never attempt
ed to conduct any proposition re-
garding tribal matters in an under
handed or deceitful manner; he
has always come out openly 10 the
councils and informed those pres
ent what he desired to do. Tie
has not resorted to faIsehoods but
took the tribe into his confidence,
for he felt the members thereof
were entitled to this and knew as
much as he does regarding their
affairs, in a general way at least.
But a man who did not confine
himself to the truth before the
committee of Indian affairs of the
United States senate last winter,
nor at the Bemidji council regent
" as we have evidence regarding
Jim Cnffey, cannot be trusted in
any way concerning tribal matters.
The ToMAHAwK does not hest
tate to say it believes there will be
decided opposition among local

THE ALASKA COAL FIELDS

Leases on the Matanuska coal field are not being talk en very quickly, but there is reason The coal mines cannot be opened until the railroad built The first sty for opening coal mine is to have machinery the spot and just at the present machinery cannot be shipped to Matanuska.
 few leases have been taken but with the exception of the Eska creek mine other has been opened for commercial mining since the government started to build the railroad and the government itself has taken the Eska creek property,
 The great question to be solved is the placing of Alas ka coal in the great markets at price greater than the price of the eastern coal and people to doubt that this can be done Bu the big advantage of having railroad to the Matanuska just at present that the United States government hold the fact like al sword of Damoces the head of the coal operators of
