This he accomplished and the
Bureau on August 18th issued an
order to this agency not to allot
said Joseph Bondreau, nor make
any allotments to the other Fond
du Lac removals who had applied
for same following the Joseph
Bondreau ruling, the Office here
also being instructed not to accept
any more such applications, and to
follow the instructions hitherto
given and dated June Z, 1904.
Had the Joseph Bondreau ruling
been followed, which would have
been the case only for the immedi
ate action of Mr.. Ballinger, allot-
ment rolls of this reservation
would have been open TO possibly
thousand more allotments and
which would have been made to
persons who were not entitled to
receive them. This would have
created another nasty situation in
the affairs and property of the
Chippewas, and would have re-
suited in loss to the Indians or
to the United States of possibly a
million dollars.
This only demonstrates again
what it means to the Chippewas of
Minnesota to keep we'll organized
and in touch with their affairs,
and to have and retain the services
of such an able attorney as Mr..
Ballinger has proven to be. BY
his quick and timely action in this
one instance, he has saved the
Chippewas a sum Of money, which
if it had to be settled in court, would
have amounted to probably less
than half of the original amount.
This alone would entitled him to
three times the fee be will receive
for bis services d11ring the year
ending July LIST, 1921.
Below we print a copy of the
orders issued on June 7th, 1904,
as referred to herein, and which
will govern further allotments on

There. are numerous explanations OF
its origin. Some etymologists claim
that it came originally from the Irish
Finnhuala (white shoulders) which,
though softened to Fenella was later
translated into Penelope. 1t is to this
we owe the numerous Penelopes OF

The more common explanation of
Penelope connects her with Elysees'
faithful queen who sat day after day
before her loom while the hero of the
Odyssey" wandered the seven seas
This explanation makes Penelope a
weaver in truth; another account
claims that she had been exposed as
an infant and owed her life to a kind
of duck whom the Greeks called pene
lops.

Gasoline prices will go down as
