The Grand Igloo session of the Pic neers of Alaska, which has been in progress at Nenana for the past week, came to an end at noon Sunday, April 1, with a memorial service being con- ducted in the Coliseum theatre as the concluding feature Following the de clared adjournment a special train was taken to Fairbanks with the off cers and delegate sas guests of hon. or.

 Those of the delegation who return ed to Seward state that the sessions were very harmonious and enthusias- tic. Much work was accomplished in various ways, which will be for the good of the North and for the order The sessions just passed are consid- cred to be the most successful ever held by the Pioneers.

The Octopus and What.

The Indian Bureau System or
Octopus, is nightly entrenched.
No proper organization to safe
guard the Indians rights, per
mits the System with its host of
Congressional friends, to pass first
one law and then another which
enables them to gain more and
more power, year in and year out,
and to drag the Indians lower and
lower in helplessness and ignor
ance.
The Systems ways are deep,
devious and mystify!ng. Its re-
sources in money, favors and in
fluence are unlimited. Its work
ings are so complex and its auto
cratic power so great, that only
spasmodicalIy does it's corruption
rise to the surface.
One of these "spasmodic" oc-
casions was the honest and fearless
investigation made of the Interior
Department by the 62nd Congress
reported in two volumes and
known as House Report No. 1886.
This report gives facts showing
the uselessness, corruption, nay
the inhumanity of this awful Colos'
sus-the Indian Bureau. But ow-
ing to the ''smothering'' influence
of this System and hence the
apathy of the unselfish, honest
citizens of our country,-the
Chairman of the Committee, who
had extraordinary ability and hae
made herculeanion efforts to carry
it through, remarked that is WA
the most thankless job he hat
ever encountered"
The System has its white
washing" and its 'cut-to-order
generations; and usually only ha
to contend with some bralny, fear
less individual, who at his own ex
pense both in time and none,
undertakes to correct some nor
rible injustice to these helples
humans. This is expensive, dis
couraging work, as the System

The Annuity Payment
Unnecessary Delay Is due TO Methods OF
Local Office. q

Early last month a petition was
circulated throughout the Chippe-
wa country and literally signed
by the Chippewa people asking
that the annual annuity payment
be made during the month OF July
instead of late in the fall, as has
been the custom heretofore. Later
the matter was taken up with
Commissioner Burke and Secre-
tary of the Interior Hon. HUBER
Work, in an effort to secure the
payment at an early date. In the
meantime the matter was referred
to Superintendent Wadsworth,
who, we are informed. stated that
the funds necessary to make the
payment had not yet been placed
to his credit, and that sucn warrant
was not usually received until the
latter part of September of each
year, and that consequently 1t
would be impossible to make the
payment on the dates requested In
the petition, but that it would be
made as soon as possible.
Below we publish a communica-
ton from Secretary Work to Mr..
Webster Ballinger, attorney for
the Chippewas, and to whom the
matter of the payment was re-
ferred, in which the Secretary
states that the authority for the
annuity payment was granted on
July 21st, and that the necessary
funds had been placed to the credit
of Superintendent Wadsworth. Ii
| will be seen from this that as Mr.
| Wadsworth's statements regarding
the payment we're made after July
| 21st, that his statements were mis-
leading, as he undoubtedly knew
that the funds were available OF
July 21st, or shortly after.
i We also publish below a com
m,,nication from COMMISSIONS
Burke to Mr.. Ballinger in regar'
to the payment, and while tn
Commissioners reply to Mr.. Bal
linger is rather evasive, it ca
readily be seen that the annuit
