to be immediately available; not
exceeding $4,000 may be expend-
ed in aiding INDECENT Chippewa
Indians upon the condition that
any funds used in support of a

bursed out of and become lien

may be expended for the support
of the Indian hospitals.
THE Secretary of the. Interior
is authorized to withdraw from the
Treasury of the United States, in
his discretion, the sum of $35, 900,
or so much thereof as may be
necessary, of the principal sum on
deposit to the credit of the Chip
pewa Indians in the State Of Min
nesota arising under section Z of
the Act of January IA, 1889, and
to expend the same for payment of
tuition for Chippewa Indian child
rem enrolled in the public schools
of the State of Minnesota.
For support of a school or
schools for the Chippewas of the
Mississippi in Minnesota (Article
8, treaty of March 10, 1867,
$4,000; Provided, That no part of
the tum hereby appropriated shall
be used except for school or schools
of the Mississippi Chippewas Low
in the State of Minnesota.
For the construction of roads
and bridges on the Red Lake In
dian Reservation, including the
purchase of material, equipment,
and supplies, and the employment
of-labor, $4,000, to be paid from
the funds held by the United
States in trust for the Red Lake

State OF Minnesota: Provided,
That Iudian labor shall be em-

For the necessary surveys and

III accordance with authority
granted in paragraph 3, section s.
of the Indian Appropriation Act
of August /, 1914 (Thirty-eig
Statutes. pages 5S2 59D,. $1,000 !"
AS may be seen from the above,
the Red Lake band are being fav
.ored with the lions share of the
appropriations from Chippewa
tribal funds. 1t would seem to a
causal observer that the sum of
|$l10,000, asked for by the Indian
Bureau was all the Bureau would
get to use in its administration of
MinAesota Chippewa affairs. This
is not the case however, with all
the funds available for its use in.
GLIDING the interest money avail.
able for schools, etc. the Bureau
would have the vast sum of ap.
proximately $265, 400 at its dispos-
al. We believe the Chippewa
people are opposed to the Items Of
