 STOCKHOLM. Sept. 16.-The losses of the conservatives in the election apparently are not affecting the con servative press. The Aftonblad asks if it is impossible to unite the Swedish people so as to give a resolute mo" to the entente, which, it says, seeks to interfere in Swedish affairs. The newspaper opposes change in the ministry. saying that in such event Sweden would soon suffer the fate of Greece by becoming mere mes senger boy for foreign powers"
 As for the Washington disclosures regarding the employment by the Ger man minister to Mexico of the former Swedish charge d'affaires at Mexico City, Folke Cronholm. to convey in formation to the Berlin foreign office, the newspaper says: This is merely a part of the threats against us, with no foundation for insinuations against our present leader of foreign affairs.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16. - Twenty four thousand members of the San Francisco Iron Trades Council, employed mainly on government ship building contracts, will go on strike tomorrow for an increase in wages, following the failure of a series of conferences today between the leaders of the workmen and representatives of the employers to arrive at satis- factory settlement of the issue.
 A final attempt to prevent the strike was made late today at a meeting pro- posed by James L. Ackerson, repre- senting the federal shipping board
 MT. AckerSon suggested that a set clement might be arranged through conferences with government officials conducting similar negotiations in the Seattle ship building strike and that the strike be postponed pending this outcome. R. w. Burton. president of the Iron Trades Council, said a post ponement of the walkout was i'm possible.
 Announced plans for the strike call upon all men to report for work as usual and at g o'clock to walk out. if no agreement has been reached. Both

The Long Prairie Claim

The Long Prairie claim" of
the PiIlager Cnippewas was pre-
sented to the Indian affairs CON-
mittee of the House of Represen-
tatives at Washington last Friday
for the purpose Of referring a bill
to congress which will enable the
Pi|lagers to GO into the Court of
Claims to prosecute the claim.
Tie Pi)lager Chippewas, then at
war with the Sioux, in 1847 coded
to the United States for the use of
the Menomiuie bands and which
was a condition precedent to the
REIMBURSEMENT of the tract, be-
tween 100000 and 100000 acres.
In 1913 the United States coded
the tract to the Menominies for
their large holdings il Wisconsin
so that the latter could remove to
it. The Menomines, however,
finally refused to remove to the
tract, and according to the Indian
understanding of the treaty the
land reverted back to the Pillagers
who had received only SIS, 900
which they claim was merely the
price Of the rental. But instead
Of letting it 90 back to the Pillag-
ers as Indian lands as the treaty
provides, the United States gave a
reservation to the Menominies in
Wisconsin from which pine timber
amounting to already several mil
lions Of dollars has already been
sold for the benefit of the Menom-
inies, and cash payment to them
of $242, 900 for it. ..,~,,n-. Is.
As a matter ofafact the Menom
inies simply were used to over
reach the l'illagers without their
knowledge.
The Long Prairie tract was
thrown open to settlement after
an attempt was made to keep a
band of Winnebagoes there.

SEGREGATION OF TRIBAL
FUNDS,

The Chippewa delegation now
at Washington appeared before
the committee ON Indian affairs of
the House of Representatives last
Friday and presented to the com
mittee a proposition to segregate
the tribal funds of the Chlppewas
of Minnesota and place it to their
credit in the Treasury per capita.
The proposed bill in substance
provides for the creation of a COM
mission to classify the Chippewas
of Minnesota into two classes,
namely; into competent and in
competent Indians. All non-sup-
porting Indians to be classed as
incompetents and also all minors
until they become of age when
they shall, by the provisions of
the bill, Immediately be placed in
the competent list.
The bill proposes to Immediately
pay over to the competent men,
bers of the tribe all the money
which will be credited to them.
The personnel of the commits
sion as proposed by the bill shall
consist of one person to be selected
by the Chippewa General Council,
one person to be a citizen of the
State of Minnesota. The commits.

Purchase Of Range Lands
Best Bargain Since Dutch
Bought Manhattan Is
land.

One of the best real estate deals
since the Dutch bought Manhattan
island was transacted when the
United States acquired the North
western corner of Minnesota from
the Chippewa Indians. That was
the double transaction contained
in the treaty of LaPointe in 1854
and the treaty of Washington in
1855.
1t was a good deal for the In
dams. For about two million dol
lars in cash and allowances, they
gave a sort Of quit claim deed.
About all they mad to sell was the
hunting and fishing rights, and as
they reserved the right to hunt
and fish anywhere it was not bad
deal for them. The underlying
transaction was that the Indians
were being showed aside by the
white men. Whatever they receiv-
ed by the treaty was just that
much more than they would have
got if they had not made it. So it
was really quite decent of Uncle
Sam.
For the United States it was
MAGNIFICENT deal. The hunting and
fishing rights alone-though for
long time they we're a poor asset

will see the last of this great,
white pine forest. There will be
nothing left then but the jack pine
and spruce and, poplar and birch
and cedar and tamarack, that come
in the aggregate to about as much
as much as the original pine.
But that was not the big prize.
Our folks knew there was none
there all the time. Indeed they
had begun talking it before the
government acquired the title,
just as some of our energetic lum-
bermen have from time to time
since then been logging without
license. Gold they expected to
tind-it was scrawled in big letters
across all the early maps. They
did find it, intact, and it is there
yet, where any one who wishes
the excitement of discovering gold
may &c: specimens plenty. Be
sides, it was supposed there would
be silver and coal and copper, of
course, and, oh, yes, probably
iron.
But nobody dreamed there was
two billion tons of iron ore thrown
in with the qui'clAim deed for the
hunting and fishing rights.
Again the exact amount is not
known. But two billion tons is
such lot that a hundred million
tons one way or the other does
not much matter. We know there
is at least 1,400,0O0,O00 tons in
sight-the state tax commission
has checked it and verified it. We
know that new ore bodies are be
ing proved up every year. And
we know some of the ground that
never has been drilled can't help
showing ore. Two billion is near
enough for the present.
Because if we knew how much
there was, we wouldn't know how
much of it would bC ore. Get

two million dollars-cOmmercially,
that is. The pleasure ground from
the boundary waters to the sources
of the Mississippi will bring an an
nual revenue of millions. On a
non commercial basis, when we
took that country from the indians
for two million dollars we ought
to have been ashamed of ourselves.

its no use. A fellow would burst
with enthusiasm before he had
catalogued the charms of ten OF
Minnesota's ten thousand lakes.
What the Indians sold US was hunt
ing and fishing ground, blucberry
patch, cranberry swamp and rice
rnarsh-cheap at the price. But
what they threw in with the deal
that was the bewlldering, stagger-
ing booty.
First, nineteen or twenty billion
feet of timber, the finest stand of
white pine on the continent, worth
on the stump forty or one humid
red times what the whole tract
cost. Looking ut 1t in this large
way, it is not necessary to be ex
act to a penny. The lumbermen
have been busy sixty years har
vesting this enormous crop. Thirty
years ago they figured there was
six billion feet still standing. Ten
years later, after cutting half a
billion feet a year, they estimated
there was only SIX billion feet left.
After another ten years cutting
half billion feet a year, they we're
sure there Was not more than six
billions left. And now there is no
doubt at all but another five years

that! Nobody knows what iron

out of fashion, as the late James
j. Hill once said, but it comes ir-

as he also said, because it is al
ready a combustion product.
Ore is nothing but ircn rust
iron and oxygen-plus more or
less silicun-,he stuff of winch

two or three Of twenty other elc-
ments.
Some of these foreign el, mcn,s
are bad actors in the furnace and
ore that contains them is nonmcr-
charitable. But ways have been
found of handling elements that
used to be thought refractory or
even making them beneficial. and
for all We know ways may he
found to get round others of tho
misbehaving ingredients.
Barring refractory elements ore
is nov merchantable that contains
one half iron. If it was pure ore
it would be 70 per cent iron. Ten
years ago they were taking out 90
per cent ore and throwing 50 per
cent ore into the dump. Now
they arc shipping so per cent ore

in the past thirty years. At The

help must come to me with clean
hands," These are admirable
words to utter when he comes to
another with visable stain upon
his hands, but as uttered to men
who as yet lad not asked for any
thing, some took it to meal a
threat. However, as the sentence
is open to many interpretations it
may be allowed to pass here with
out further comment.
At the conclusion of the sccre-
tary's remarks, Doctor Eastman,
the noted Sioux scholar, a man
who is physician, lecturer, and
ethnologisJ as pertains to the red
man, arose and began an address
which terminated as finished ora
tory.
Doctor Eastman 1T the start
thanked the secretary on behalf Of
himself and his red brethren for
the courtesy of the audience, and
in response to the praises, and
promises made uttered this preg
nant remark: 1--WE have heard
all this before.'' And how true,

hoDeyed phrases have flown, and
promises. and all this from time
immemorial. 1t is of today and it
is OF tradition; 1--WE have heard
with our own ears, and our fore
fathers have told u.s.
DR.. Eastman made an eloquent
appeal for his red brethren far
and wide upon reservations, mis-
governed by superintendent and
their immediate assistants.
Doctor Eastman's home is not
upon reservation, it is in the
center of the culture of Massachu-
sets and he comes constantly into
contact socially with the best East
ern people, and keeps IN touch
with educational centers, and vet.
he gives time and means to pro-
mote the social, cultural and eco
nomic welfare of his red brethern;
be comes and goes with clean
hands,, and brave hands.
Doctor Eastman spoke broadly
along the lines of ethics and his
tory, and ne spoke artistically
when he mentioned the arts of the
Indian. He claimed equality for
the red man with the white in
brain power. .....
Doctor Eastman asked of the
government nothing for himself,
he asked simply for the poor of
his race, equity and judgment, the
right of such treatment as would
make it noble element in the
American nation.

aud they are limited to eighteen

SUBSCRIPTION: $3.50 PER- YEAR IN ADVANCE
Indian Delegations AT
Washington Visit The
Secretary Of Interior.

The Indian delegations through
out the country now at Washing
ton are holding joint meetings to
discuss matters of common interest
to them.
These meetings take place once
or twice each week. John w.
Carl is chairman of the meetings,
and Alfred Smith, Yankton
Sioux, is secretary.
Recently a resolution was passed
at one of the meetings in which d.
B. Henderson was designated to
try and arrange a meeting with
President Wilson and the Secre-
tary of the Interior. Accordingly
Mr.. Henderson secured for the
delegates meeting with the sec
rotary which took place last week.
The delegates met at the Nation
al Hotel at Washington and in a
body proceeded to the Interior
Department where they met the
Secretary Of the Interior and Com
missioner of Indian Affairs.
Formal and informal jntrcduc-
lions having been made Secretary
Lane made an address which was
combination of clarity and mys-
terry.
There was candor, sincerity and
praise in his words upon the ma
ture and characteristics of the In.
dams, and there was also implied
rebuke in some of his phrases, and
one in particular which implied
suspicion.
The secretary in his address be-
gan by drawing a contrast between
the number of complaints received
by him at the outset of his incum
bency and the few that are now
being received.
But there are several ways of
explaining this. Always the field
force of the Indian Office has been
under fire and deservedIy 50, and
naturally Indians have hoped that
a change of administration would
bring desired changes. 1t is a
hope born of political promises
made to the people generally, that
to change administrations will" be
the starting point of an Utopia.
A change for the better is al
ways hoped for, and the Indian
shares this hope with his white
brother. Is it wonder then that
Secretary Lane received countless
complaints and appeals for changes
in the fieldY And these not con
ing, is it not fair guess that many
complainants used to themselves
tn. language of certain cartonlst,
''Oh pifle whats the use."
In detail and routine the Indian
Office has not changed, yet it can
be said of Secretary Lane himself
that he has taken broad view of
many elements in the Indiap prob
lem and and has advanced some
ideas and carried them into effect
and which have mitigated some
evils of the past. For instance.
he has sought to minimize the
patcrnaIistlc sentiment so long in
/vogue.
The secretary uttered one phrase
in conclusion that was so direct IN
language that it invited many.
He said: "A man seeking my
