IN the last sixty days requested the
Department of Justice to bring a
suit in the name of the United
States against the State Of Mime

The Department will reserve its
recommendation upon the admin
istrative features of the Ellsworth
and Knutson Bills until it has had
to inquire into the
matter further. It is nov appar-
.ent that some provision will be
made during this session OF Con-
gress for immediate allotments OF
land to the In6ians residing on the
Red Lake Reservation and for the
opening up of that reservation.
This will necessitate legislation
establishing a drainage system and
changing the law with reference to
the disposition Of the lands not
needed for allotment purposes.
Under the agreement of 1889 these
lands we're to be disposed of at
$l.25 per acre. AS they are to be
drained at the expense OF
the Indians the law will he
changed 90 that when they are
drained the excess lands can be
sold at their market value.

EAGER TO SEE elephant
United States Aroused. the Ut.
most curieslty.

Nowadays, when summer In the
United States would hardly seem itself
without the coming Of a circus, 1t Is
difficult to realize the excitement
aroused by the first exhibition Of an
elephant. A now-forgotten Snowman,
Hackaliah Bailey, is said to have i'm
ported the first elephant nearly hun
dred years ago, and the animal was
whole show in himself. The circus
tent had not yet come into being, and
the elephant was shown in barns In
the Eastern states that then held the
bulk Of the population. To prevent the
public from seeing the show without
charge, the elephant Travelled from
place to place in the night; but even
so, the public refused to be wholly cir
cumvented, and small companies gath
cred with bonfires ready to light when
the strange creature came numbering
past on his way to the next town.
Sometimes, however, the management
defeated this intention by sending
along the road horse built up to look
like an elephant in the dark, and when
the bonfire, had been lighted and had
burned out the real elephant followed.
