PenObScOt Indians
Quarrel Over Basket Ash

1t has been learned through a
! communication from Ira G. Pink
ham of Old Town. the agent for the
Penobscot Tribe of Indians. that
the Indians nearly got mixed up in
one or two fights over the method
Of distribution of basket ash and
that the Indian women on the
I island where the tribe lives did not
want the white women who mar
ried Indians to have any of the
ash. The Governor and Council
finally passed an order that the ash
! lumber for baskets should be dis
tributed to the heads of families
| and Agent Pinkham thinks that this
method will work out the best for
all concerned. During the sum
mer months the Indian women
make a pretty good living selling
the baskets.
1.-Two years ago was the first
time that the Legislature ever made
an appropriation to the Penobscot
Indians for basket ash, and as no
specific directions accompanied the
resolve, it devolved on me to make
the distribution" says Agent Pink
ham. in his communication to the
Governor and Council.
II studied the matter for some
time to see how best I could dis
tribute the ash so that it would be
impartial. equal and satisfactory to
all concerned. Finally. appointed

The pardon case of William A.
Holland of Portland was again con-
tinued until the April 30 meeting.
Holland was sentenced on Jan. 30,
1919. to pay a fine Of $500 and serve
three months in jail. He claimed in
his petition for pardon that the SEN
tence was excessive and severe.

the governor of the tribe and two
assistants to make a list of the
heads of families, widows and 9TH
er persons they thought would make
good use Of the ash.
Il also decided to separate a car
load of timber into as many equal
lots as it was possible to do so.
number each lot and have an equal
amount of numbered tickets to cor
respond with the ash lots and let
the Indians draw out of a hat and
take the lot of ash they drew. 1t
seemed to be very satisfactory to the
Indians until very recently when
the women on the island seemed to
think that the ash ought to be given
to them. not to the men and not any
given to the white women who mar
ried Indians Of Whom there are four
on the island. The women would
hold meetings one night and the men
the next night. They very nearly
got into one or two fights and then
came over to me for a decision as
to how l would distribute the ash.
Il told them that I could not dis
tribute it in any different way than

instructions from the Governor and
Council.
II know Of no better way than to
have the ash given to the heads of
families unless we eliminate all
who are able to buy and pay for
their own ash and give it only to the
widows and other needy persons who
are absolutely unable to furnish
any for themselves. And if that
were done there would be lots of
criticism and fault finding.
Il believe if you would decide as
to the method Of distribution, pass
a council order to that effect and
send me a copy of it, it would go a
long way towards restoring peace

IT CANNOT LAST
Bolshevism in Russia
Must Burn Itself
Out. Is the Prediction

London, April 1.-(Cerrespondence)
Tho present condagration In Russia
cannot last. Without fuel. in the form
Of food and supplies generally. Boil
shevism must burn itself out"
Such is the opinion Of an English
man who left Moscow Feb. . and has
just reached London.
Il find in this country" he said, "a
general impression that the Bolshevik
leaders are nothing but violent GRIM
inals and robbers. But they have 9TH
er qualifications as we'll. such as or
ganizing ability. ruthless decision
and the power to rule.
Public opinion as to the advant-
ages Of Bolshevism IL widely diver
gent. Those who have secured
through the revolution q comfortable
sinecure, with q monthly salary of
perhaps 1900 rubles In one Of the in
Vulnerable governmental departments
Which exist in every town are not
anxious to upset the present order OF
things. On the other hand. specula-
tors and peasants who. through the
misfo-tunes Of the aristocratic and
bourgeois classes. have lined their
pockets. are now rather inclined to
clamor for a more stable and consti-
tut!onal form Of government which
would enable them to keep what they
have u,justly gained.
LAS q whole, however. the people
are apathetic. and though many Of
them will confide to you that they
dislike Bolshevism and desire its
downfall. yet I doubt very much if
they would be ready to give personal
assistance to any such movement.
Lack Of food is the greatest dan
ger the Bolsheviki have to face. Bread
and other commodities are becoming
scarcer every day.
"Rabid socialism is the order. and
everything is commandeered and sold
on voucher system through a few
shops managed by the Workers and
Red Army committees"
The Britisher brought the first news
to London Of the fact that about 40
British naval and military prisoners
OF war. captured on the North Rus
sian front. we're now in captivity in
Moscow. The officers are confined in
small cells. but the men. he said. are
permitted to move freely about the
city and may even visit British resi-
dents. They are provided with better
food than other prisoners and with
warm clothing. Evidently, the Boil
sheviki, in the opinion of this Eng
lishman. are trying by means of
preferential treatment to win the
British prisoners over to their side.

aprAdlt

with the issuance of the orders for
the construction of the fishways of
notice of an allotment of Atlantic
sea salmon from one of the federal
hatcheries, 100000 to be delivered
this fall. on his statement that the
fishways were to be built. A liberal
allotment is also promised for each
following year.
Commissioner Parsons has been
long at work on plans to re-establish
the salmon in Maine waters, their
natural home. They were very
plenty years ago in the Maine rivers
and many of her streams and lakes,
but in the past generation have been
gradually disappearing, until they
are now found in but few places. He
hopes to have them as plenty as
ever. within a comparatively few
years.
