sides however. seemed inclined TO ad-
mt that the cost Of living has advanced
something over 100 per cent
Clement H. Belts, representing the
employing stevedores, said if the mems
demands were granted it would seri-
ously cripple the shipping business az
most inopportune time and would
add al least O. cents on the cost of
every ton Of goods handled in the port
of New York. He $50 said the long

Relatives here of Charles Beau

Service believe in freedom and
citizenship, but like the Indian
Bureau, they cannot see that the
Indians are ready for such radi'
cal change. They have the same
identical reason for not wanting
the Indians to be free and enjoy
the rights of citizenship. They
have been harnessed up with the
Indian Bureau so long that they
are blind to the best interests of
their people. They know very
we'll that if they expressed any
thing else but the sentiment of the
Indian Bureau they would be
minus their positions or made 80
miserable as to force them to re-
sign from the Indian Service.
Again, we say, that Indians
who are working in the Indian
Service, are working against the
best interests of the Indian race.
BY their saying that 1.-THE Indians
are not ready for freedom and
citizenship is not to sheir credit.
If that is the judgement of their
race, they are in the same boat.
Are they not of the same blood
and flesh as those whom they mis-
judge9
1t is plain to see that they are
in the Indian Service for q selfish
purpose and not to help to elevate
their race, Their judgement goes
no further than their bread and
butter at the expense Of having
their people held as slaves and
Outcasts.
They are used as decoys to
make the old Indians believe that
the Indian Bureau is doing the
best thing for them and that they
must not think of letting 60 of
the support they have leaned ON
for fifty years. Just think, you
will have to pay taxes, the white
crooks will rob you. You will
have to pay your lawyer and
everything else. You had better.
let the Indian Bureau take care of
you until you are able aud strong
enough to attend to your own
affairs" This is the whisper
given to the Old Indians by the
Indian employees in the Indian
Service. Again, when any bill
comes up in Congress for the best
interests Of the Indians, they are
there to oppose the bill. Of course
the Indian Bureau is backing them.
If the question of abolishing the
Indian Office was proposed in
Congress, the greatest kind of a
noise would come from these, In
dian employees in the Indian SER
vice. They would be compelled
to make q big noise to obey their
masters. These Bureau Indians
are worthless creatures. They
are Indian molley-coadles. If they
had any backbones, they would be
busy, to see that their people are

PLAN TO RESUME WORK on
NEW ROCKFORD EXTENSION
Rumor Afioat in St. Paul That Great
Northern Will Start Construction
This Season

st. Paul, April 6.--Construction of
the New Rockford extension of the
Great Northern in eastern Montana
will be resumed this season. it was re-
ported here yesterday. causing surpris-
ed comment In railroad circles, as the
general financial stringency of the
railroads is understood TO be a GER
tain bar to any extension work.
The New Rockford cutoff Is about
$50 miles long, from that town to Wat
ford. The completion of this stretch
and that from Chippewa to Richey,
about the same distance. would com
plete the line from Lewistown to Great
Falls. This would provide a more di-
rect route than the present Great
Northern main line through Montana
and would tap the Judith basin, rich
in agricultural resources and espe-
cially in wheat production.
The 800 mile project, including the
bridging of the Missouri river. would
cost between S12,0OO,OOO and $l5,OOO,-
600, railroad engineers said.
Federal Manager w. p. Kenney, now
i'm Montana on an inspection trip, Is
reported to have said the project Will
be resumed. Great Northern officials
here yesterday said they have no Off
cial information that the Improvement
is possible and expressed doubt that
the financial situation would permit it.
