Nett Lake indians
Make C0od-uSe Of
Per Capita Funds.

Indians on the Nett Lake reser.
walton, according to reports, are
making good use of the funds they
recently received of $500 per
capita. The Nett Lake Indians
also received large sum of money
q short time ago from the sale of
timber on the reservation. Instead
of disposing of their fortunes for
blankets, beads, and whiskey, as
the Indians of old did, these Chip.
pewas are building schools and
homes, outftting their farms with
modern machinery and stock, and
making rapid advancement from
conditions which have gained for
them the name of the most print
tive of the Chippewa tribe.
rhe Nett Lake Chippewas are
making every effort to adopt a
more civilized existence and are
now encouraging legislation which
will release all tribal funds now
held by the Federal government,
and are, in fact, joining with their
more enlightened brethren in the
great effort now being made by
them to bring about satisfactory
settlement of the Chippewa estate.
