ance of this plan and was in com.

ent that the matter would have bis
attention and he would at this

secure the necessary appropriation

made the coming year. This sur.
vey will definitely clear the situa-
ton and establish actions that viii!

The Chippewa Indians were we'll
represented at this meeting. Geo.
CIond told of the berry and wild
rice crop failure and others in the
councils of the tribe protrayed in
heart touching phrases the de-
plorable conditions that existed
among their people and the suffer
ing that was inevitable during the
winter unless they were given a
portion of their tribal funds which
is carefully guarded by the Indian
department il Washington. There
is move on foot to distribute 500
per capita among them and under
the circumstances all conditions
considered, it seems right and
human that they he given this
money. DR.. Wooster was present
at the meeting and graciously told
how he had made canvass of the
wards under his jurisdiction and
had perfected arrangements to see
that all sick and helpless Indians
would be given the necessary lra-
tions to keep soul and body to
gether during the winter. It de-
.veloped that there are only q small
amount Of funds to cover this
work but the Dr's. attitude was in
keeping with the policy Of the In
dian department to keep under
cover all possible funds of the
Redmen. It is nest egg that
gives employment to an army of
clerical forces as long as they can
prevent the Indians funds from
being distributed among the own
ers. However we believe the
wishes of the Indians will be recog
nized and that a hundred dollars
per capita will be allotted to them

to proposed legislation affecting
matters pertaining to the interests
IF Cass county residents. -.
There has been an agitation for
some time relative to the advis
ability of opening up the forest
reserve north of the lake. Several

stand in favor of such action
claiming that reforestry had not
up to date been. sufficiently sue

in the forest reserve. i was con-
tended chat ! part Of this land is
better suited for agricultural pur-
poses and is the best soil in Cas-
county. The opening Of this re-,
serve would he Of inestimable
benefit to the growth of such vii
lagos as Bena, Federal Dam and
Gass Lake. =. .flI ~ - sz.<
I The proposed plan would be to
open such land in the. forest re-
serve as is situated south of the
500 Line but would not Include
Star Island, the Ten Sections or
Pine Point. The Forestry de.
partment, had speakers present
who advocated against the OPEN
ing of the land in question. Sena
tor McGarry gave splendid ad-
dress and was not sure the time
was ripe for the opening of this
land considering the vast amount
of lard still unsettled in that sec
ton Of the state. He believed the
forest reserve was very valuable
asset to the state in view of the
fact that it harbors wild life and it
is the wild and unframed conditions
that attract thousands of tourists
to the state every season who in
turn leave an immense amount Of
money among the residents of that
section. There are many angles
! 10 consider in the opening of the
forest reserve which must be taken
ia consideration. It continues to
be a live question but will be
brought to finish by the forestry
department. which has powerful
organization back of it and it is
their business to hang onto every
foot of land in their powor as it is

The big question affecting resi-
dents in that section was pertain
ing to the regulation of the water
ia the lakes aud streams which is
known as the upper reservoir OF
the Mississippi. As near as any
one can tell it is about the biggest
joke in history. At the present
time the water ct this point is .

That feeling of fear and aver
sion for newspapers among
some people is soon lost when
the newspapers mission of
guardianship of public inter
ests is understood. While
the plant and business be-
longs to the publishers; the
service rendered is more of a
community function than a
private business-and prop
erly belongs to the public to
much larger proportion than
is generally understood.
AS a matter of fact, the pub
lication of a newspaper in any
community is an agency by
which the community practi-
cally serves itself, by using it
as the medium of local pub
licity. A refusal to use it as
such a medium for public in
tercourse is much like refus.
