placement of the tank and with the
resulting consequences that the
tank has leaked more or less since
being placed on tho new steel
tower.
We are informed by the con-
tractors who had the erection of
the new steel tower work in hand
that they informed the agency
officials Of the defective condition
of the wooden tank slaves; they
also suggested that the tank slaves
be shortened about six or eight
inches to allow the cutting of a
new grove or mortise in the slaves
for the floor of the tank aud, better
still, that an entire new tank be
provided. However the timely
suggestions Of the. contractors were
over.ruled, by the f1imsy pretext
that there was no authority" and
mo funds provided for such a
purpose. In fact "red tape,"
that degenerate political scourage,
so mercilessly enthralis the general
management of agency affairs and
with the resulting consequences
that mostly every step or move
mcnt connected herewith is, great
" to the detriment of the service
and extreme cost to the Indians,
fraught with disappointment and
dismal failure. Hence the LEAKS,
the big, the little and the many,
many leaks, and then some.

Webster Ballingcr, attorney for
the Chippewa Tribe, argued the
case of the Chippewa Indians be-
fore the Supreme Court of the
United States last Wednesday.
Mr.. Ballingcr made splendid
argument. The case will be de-
cided when the Court reconvenes
on March 4, 1918. Mr.. Ballinger
has rendered the delegation valu
able services.
The Indian Bureau has at last
learned that the Chippewa Indians
through their General Council can
expend the appropriation made for
the General Council without inter-
ference by the Indian Bureau.
Mr.. Ballinger has defeated the
Indian Bureau on this matter sew
eral times, but the Indian Bureau
has constantly persisted in passing
upon every account and rejecting
such items as it saw fit. The
Comptroller of the Treasury has
held that the approval of the &C.
count by the President of the
General Council when properly
c. rtifed to by the Secretary of the
General Council and presented to
the Department leaves the Depart
ment nothing to do with it except
t. pay the same.

tank and tower, especially the steel
tower, wrapped in its coating of
ice, furnished a novel and pictur

Appropos of the above incident
it may be interesting to know that
during the latter years or Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs Valentine,
the commissioner paid a visit 10
White Earth and during a CONVEX
sation in the agency Office, at which
several members of the reservation
we're present, the question of a
water system for the village was
discussed. The commissioner was
favorably impressed with the pro.
ject and which, with the aid cf
Hon. Moses E. Clapp, then junior
senator from this State, finally re-
suited in al appropriation, from
the Indian fund, and the water
system was extended to the village.
The first tank was placed on q
wooden tower, fourteen feet high.
A few years later an additional APP
Dr0Driation was secured by Hon.
Halvor Stevenson, NJ. c., for the
extension of tn, village water
system" and, about two years ago,
coming July, the wooden tower
was replaced by a sixty foot steel
tower. In the erection of the new
steel tower it was necessary to take
apart both the wooden tower and
tank. And Notwithstanding that
extreme care and diligence was
exercised in dong this part Of the
work many of the slaves were

was written by the agents of the Kan
