Clearbrook, Oct. 10.-There is no
real good reason why the Indians and
especially, the Red Lake Indians,
should be continued under the
ward" system, or you might say
"'bondage.,. unless it is that they
have beer too good to the whites in
letting. him take all the land he wish
ed in would-be treaties in days of
ysre, hence present punishment. In
their .encampment at St, Paul last
week they made it pretty plain what
they wanted; and now it is up to the
men in charge, especially congress,
to see to it that the Red Lakers be
placed on par with other men in this
section of Minnesota. Even the ne
gro has equal rights with the white
folks and in view of this fact why
should not the only real, true and
original "American," the Indian, be
given his freedom, which we the
''white' people have robbed him of
by our intrusion upon his domain.
1t is time for us good people to give
this a serious thought, and none the
less our "congress!"
The county commissioners of
Clearwater county met in regular
session at Bagley, Tuesday, and
quickly performed their regular
work. This was regarded by many
as one of the most important meet
ings of our county dads for some
time. At a formal meeting they had
passed a unanimous resolution that
they would support and construct the
Jefferson Highway on the road which
J. D.%Clarason, the manager. Of the
Jefferson Highway would name as
the proper road to take between Bag
ley and Clearbrook, in order to settle
forever the QUARREL which had aris-
en-. between two factions between
: here and ;Bagley, as: to which was the
proper road to construct and which
was the Jefferson Highway. Mr..
Clarkson chose the original laid out
route running over the state high
way, between. these two points. Now
that this point has been finally set
tied, nothing remains but for our
missioners to proceed and con-
:strnct the highway as per the resolu-
ton now on file, that this eye sOre,, a
blot on the fair name of our county,
may be done away with at an early
date. 1t cannot be done too soon, nor
too we'll, that we may once more
regain our good name and standing
with the association and the state at
large.
On the east bound passenger train
Tuesday morning was unloaded rs
cans, or about 5000 brook trout, fry
size from the Glenwood Fish
hatchery. 1t was the finest shipment
of brook trout ever received here.
They were planted in the Clearbrook
streams, which pass through the
Clearbrook townsite which will in
sure the rodmen here fine fishing.
These fish were planted and ordered
under the supervision of the Clear
brook Game, Bird and Fish League or
association of which Carl W. Jensen
is president. John H. Norby, one of
the live and active members had the
planting of these fish in hand, which
insured quick and careful work.
l.. Jensen and CLAUS Henderson
from here and Albert Kaiser of Bag
ley delegate of the Jefferson Highway
club from this community attended
the state meeting at Little Falls,
Thursday. We understand that some
of our commissioners accompanied
them down, but not all, which is very
much to be regretted, as the full
county board had been invited by the
county association to attend. The
officers of the county association are:
l.. Jensen of Clearbrook, president;
president; DR.. C. G. Forrest of Clear
brook, secretary; E. Randall of
Clearbrook, treasurer, with George
Burfield of Shevlin, Ole G. Lee of
Bagley and CLAUS Henderson of
Clearbrook, directors. These prom
inent and we'll known and original
Jefferson Highway boosters" insure
action and cooperation as never be-
fore, and the county members as a
whole are to be congratulated upon
their happy choice. The delegates on
their way to Little Falls will be en-
tertained by the Bemidji association
of good roads boosters.
The Dorcas society had a splendid
meeting Wednesday at Randahls as
sisted by Mrs. Ella Pevey.
