Opening Of Red Lake
Reservation Asked.
Resolution Of c|earhreek Commercial Club
Sent TO Northwest Congressman.
SEEKS ALLOTMENTS AND CITIZENSHIP
FOR RED LAKE INDIANS X

Opening for settlement of part
of the Red Lake reservation in
Clearwater and Beltrami counties.
with allotments of land to the Red
Lake Indians, and full protection
OF the rights of said Indians, is
asked in resolution adopted by
the Clearbrook Commercial club
and communicated to Congressman
Halvor STEVENSON. Cooperation
of the entire Minnesota delegation
in Congress is requested in the
letter. a..
The tract includes $4,000 acres
of excellent agricultural land COM
posed of timber, prairie and
meadow lands, according to the
resolution. 1T is national evil,
if not a disgrace, to let these rich.
lands lie idle and unproductive, -
the communication reads!
The resolution states in part:
"Whereas, we believe the best
interests of all concerned would be
served under present conditions,
by allotment of land to all Indians
interested and when the Indians
have taken their allotments, the
remaining lands be opened for
settlement. In view of these con
ditions, we would suggest that all
Indians who take up allotments be
granted all the rights and priv.
leges of American citizenship in
order to make it applicable 20 the
conditions and create harmonious
surroundings, for it would not be
a true American community if
composed of one-half wards" and
the balance free men;
Therefore, be it resolved, that
the Commercial club OF Clear brook
by its duly appointed representa-,
tives, hereby ask you as a member
of Congress from Minnesota, and
a district in which large portion
OF these Indian lands are located,
to take immediate steps to pro-
mote the opening Of these lands
for settlement and to use your
best Judgment in making a deal
with the Indians affected, and to
work in harmony with aid interest
your fellow congressman in the
undertaking to the end that results
may be obtained with the least
delay possible. We respectfully
urge you to get in touch with
Congressman Harold Knutson
from the Sixth Minnesota district,
and also consult With and secure
the cooperation Of onrtwo worthy
senator's, Knute Nelson and Frank
B. Kellogg, who, we feel assured,
will be of material aid and infiu-,
ence in getting a bill through the
Senate .ysl.# t. "
The territory is drained by the
Red Lake and Clearwater rivers,
borders upon Red Lake and is
skirted by the 500 lie.
The resolution also proposes
that after allotments have been
made to the Red Lake Indians,
tnat first opportunity to secure q
tract of land should be given to
veterans of the World war.

OFFICERS SPOIL SOME
CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES

The Beaver Democrat says:
"The richest haul made lately by
the sheriff's force took place Tuesday
afternoon, when Sheriff Bridgewater
Under sheriff j. o. Karnes and Dep
uty Bill Hagen found an outfit of
more than usual size three and half
miles north of Knowles. Thirteen
gallons of whiskey and six barrels Of
mash were confiscated, besides 81
gallon still and bottling outfit; 26
quart bottles filled with the evidence
and some of it in bulk was brought
in, the balance being destroyed.
Tom Rambo, James T. Orr, Claude
Wolf and some women visitors were
found on the premises and arrested
and brought in. The parties were
well armed, but the officers took
them completely by surprise.
The other still was found on the j.
M. Scarborough place, five miles south
of Lorena, by officers Bert Els and
W. c. Fincher. Two gallons of whis-
key and four barrels of mash were
found. Jas. Meadley and W. f. Nc
Cullough were arrested"

CECIL WADE DONE AN
INJUSTICE BY ITEM
May NOtEven Go to RefOrmatory fol-
Part in Crime Charged
To Him

The Democrat did Cecil Wade a de-
cided injustice in last weeks paper
and we are glad to make the matter
right insofar as we are able. The in
foration was handed in by someone
and the facts in the case were not cor
rect. That this happened is regretted
very much by the management who
had rather boost than knock anyone.
Young Wade is son of C. H. Wade
of Beaver County, and according to
information coming to us has never
before been connected with any crime.
1t seems that he was led into the plot
by an older person with the persua-
sion of a six-shooter, and that he did
not participate in the receipts for the
stolen wheat by even so much as one.
He was given ter months in the re-
formatory and at the I resent time, a
petition is being circulated asking
that he be paroled, so it's hardly like
ly lat he will have to go to the re-
form, tory at all
We h9pe our readers will accent
this as the correct version of the at
fair and not hold anything against
Wade as a res"lt of the erroneous
story printed last week.
