A WORD TO ALL FRIENDS
OF THE AMERICAN
INDIANS.
To ALL FRIENDS OF THE
CHIPPEWA INDIANS:

The ToMAHAwK is weekly
newspaper published among the
Chippewas of Minnesota, at White
Earth, Minnesota, solely in their
interest. The publisher has no
ambition other than to have the
paper truthfully set forth in its
columns the condition of the In-
dians and to suggest remedies.
The columns of the paper are open
to the use of all persons desiring
to discuss the Indian problem, it
likes to publish both sides" :"
Official action is very frequently
the result of LAW, which the In
dians do not understand, who
charge the Agent with crookedness,
in conforming to the law. A short
unofficial explanation in this paper
would divest the action of It's
apparent arbitrariness. The In.
dians are very frequently wholly
ignorant of what is going on AZ
Washington relative to. their
affairs, which this paper should be
enabled to rectify by publishing
the news from time to time. The
Indians frequently desire to reach
the public but are unable to do so
through lack of a medium. This
paper should afford this medium
for them by publishing their
appeals. The ToMAHAwK is am
bilious of being a distinct factor
in the movement to help the Chip
pewas. Instead of obly hundrads
we should have thousands of
subscribers, especially in the east
This paper belongs to no faction,
political party, nor ls 1T printed to
promote the interests of any person
other than the Chippewa Indians
as whole. Rightly understood
this paper is medium of EDUCA-
TIoN, not only of the Indians, but
of their white friends, and deserves
the support of all. Let US hear
from the various socities and
organizations to promote Indian
welfare.

Tho 1923 Year Book is third Of
the series issued under the policy
of the Department of Agriculture
to include in the year book articles

book includes studies on sugar,
the sheep industry, our forage
resources, tie utilization of our
lands for crops, pasture and for
ests, and an especially important
and interesting article on farm
ownership and tenancy.

Chippewas Apparently
United on Matter Of
Lega|ized Meetings,

Apparently, at least, the Chip
pewas of Minnesota are a unit be-
mind the movement to ask Presi
dent Coolidge, personally, for help
in securing Legislation which will
give the Cbippewas a legal right
to hold meetings among themselves
and decide who their leaders or
chiefs shall be, and to determine a
policy of their own respecting the
management of their own affairs.
At meeting held on Thursday
evening of last week at Rice Lake,
where large part of the Chippe-
was are now encamped, gathering
wild rice, it was practically unani-
mously decided that the time is
ripe to 60 to the President direct
and ask that he recommend to
Congress for the desired legisla-
ton. Mr.. Dennison Wheelock,
who was present and answered the
questions of the Indians, impressed
them with the necessity of pre-.
senting to the Government a
united front in all their dealings
with it, and to discontinue quar-.
relling among themselves as to
who shall lead or carry the flag in
the fight. They were a unit in
recommending that the Govern
ment deposit in the United States
Treasury all it admits it owes The
Chippewas, with the right in the
Chippewas to sue in the Court of
Claims for such amount as they
may think the Government is
short. Mr.. Wheelock promised
to take the matter to the President

lufkins is Peeved.
(Cass Lake Times)

Only those who know William
Lnfkins appreciate his sagacious ~
counsel, but there was a time
when he was taken seriously. That
was in the days when Rev. Wright
of Cass Lake, William Lufkins
and George Walters went to
Washington, D. G , and complete
ly turned things at White Earth
upside down, with the result that
the lumber companies we're kept
busy getting things in order before
these three able and relentless
warriors cleaned them entirely.
Lufkins does not like any of the
factions which claim they repre-
sent the Indians. He is a lone
wolf and a savage one at the
hearings denouncing them all.
He is against Morrison and
Ballinger, because, lie says, of
their connections with the lumber
interests. He is against Caswell
because Caswell is government
employe. He is against Coffey
because Coffey is too close to the
Indian Bureau.

Modern Farming Methods

Co operating with the Illinois
Power and Light Corporation at
Bloomington, ILL.,, Eugene and
DeLoss F Funk. farmers living near,
this summer experimental with
electricity for threshing. 1t is
believed that the Funks are the
first American farmers to use an
electric motor to drive grain
separator to thresh their wheat
and oats.
Tbreshing with electricity is a
long step in advance of the old
time steam traction engine or the
present day motor tractor. These
enterprising young farmers, how
ever. declare they have used all of
the methods and that electricity
beats them all.
DeLoss figures the cost of 40
horsepower electric equipment at
$1,000; steam equipment, $4, 900;
tractor equipment. from $4,000 up;
the two latter types of power re-
quiring attendants which add to
the cost of operation. Heo says
the average daily cost of operating
the traction engine, not counting
salary of an engineer, is $40. The
cost of a tractor would be con-
siderably less, while the exact
cost of current, yet to be comput
ed, it is estimated will be approx
mately'$25 per day of 8 to 10
hours.
This is something for farmers to
think about. -

Landmarks Of
A Passing Race

Gone are the days when the
picturesque North American In
dian in his warpaint and feathers
roamed over this entire continent.
No more do the hillsides resound
with his wild war whoop or his
singing and dancing echo through
the forest at Potlatch and feast
time. Gone are the days Of The
birch bark and the mighty cedar
war canoe. Even the red man
himself is forgetting the old time
life and adopting the white mans
civilization as fast as possible.
Soon every vestige of the ro-
matte life the aboriginal tribes of
the North American continent will
have disappeared. The living
story of a civilization complicated,
interesting and full of meaning,
will be gone. Perhaps that is why
the remaining villages of British
Columbia coast Indians with their
weircly decorated totem poles still
standing in a good state of preser.
vation are of such outstanding in
terest today to anthropologist

These totem poles or heraldic
poles are characteristic of the
villages of British Columbia coast
Indians, who in the old days, were
probably the most highly civilized

JULY MONTH
OF EXTREME
COOL WEATHER
Interesting Data Compiled
by Government Experts;
Rainfall Below Normal.

July weather was out of the ordi-
nary in several ways. The tempera-
ture average was Al degrees below
the 50-year normal, which shows how
little a drop is needed to make us
think it is really cold. The average
temperature for the month was 70 de-
grees compared to the 50-year aver
age of TAI. SO degrees was the hot
test attained during the month and
that temperature came on three days
the 18th, 21st and the 28th. The
coolest during the month was on the
1st-49 degrees. The low tempera-
lures of other nights ranged from 80
to 20 degrees.
Rainfall for the month was All in
ches, which is 0.19 in. below the So
year average of 4.30 inches. Last
year we had but 1.67 inches of water
fall in July and it was good crop
year at that. The highest July rain
fall in SO years was in 1S72-10.53 in.
The next highest was in 1919-7S2
inches. That year was poor crop
year, if memory serves us right.
There were no phenomena during
the month except thunderstorms on
the /, 6, Z, 8, II. 20, 81, %, q and 29th
insts. The total wind movement was
1869 miles with a maximum of 80
miles per hour on the 21st. The per-
centage of possible sunshine for the
month was IS.

CONFERENCE
Corporations Want Good
Will of Public and Aim
for Cooperation.

Representative of the telephone,
electric and gas utilities of south
western Wisconsin met at Grantland
theatre Wednesday noon following a
dinner at the Wright House. About
10 were present, Lancaster, Platte
Vile, Muscoda, Boscobel, Pra. du
Chen and Bloomington being repre-
scented.
The purpose of the meeting was the
discussion Of public relations, how to
improve service and how TO obtain TIE
cooperation of the public in the pro-
motion of good service. Public good
will and aid toward service problems
was deemed essential.
Floyd Tannehill of the Interstate
Power Co. brought up the matter of
trees interfering with wires as a cause
of poor service. Tree interference is
one of the great basal Gauss of cleo
trio and telephone line troubles.
G. Z. Briggs, local Bell telephone
gmanager, presided over the meeting
and welcomed the guests to Lancas-
ter Mr.. Butterworth, head of the
Platteville gas company, is district
chairman.

Winter Entertainment
at the Granland.

If we Cor our community are go
ing to do anything about it we will
have to act quickly. The time for
booking good lecture or lyceum cours-
es is waning. AS it appears at pres
ent Grantland theatre will remain
dark all winter except for an occa-
siona1 passing show.
This is not as it should be. The
people of Lancaster built Grantland
and will be paying for it for the next
twenty years. Payments were deferred
so that posterity could help to do the
paying. From present indications the
grandchildren will get all the benefit.
A good lecture course combining in
spirational, musical and entertaining
features would meet with generous
response. The Herald feels certain
of this. We will personally guarantee
every assistance on ticket sales if the
committee will arrange the booking.
But act now. Don't let Grantland
stand dark all winter. Don't let Grant
land remain a magnificent gesture of
community opulence. Make it work

whenever a klansman- was in the vi
cinity at night or otherwise. He also
told how the khan were cleaning up
the booze evil in the south. He further
said that not case existed where the
klansmen had bothered the members
of other creeds but said they were
fighting their system" The meeting
opened with On Wisconsin followed by
America and the Lords prayer given
viva voce. The address followed.

TURNS CAR TOO
SHORT; ROLLS

Bagley Family Figures in
Near Disaster at Asylum
Car Trap Corner.

A Ford car occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Anton Hessellman and two chill
dren of Bagley overturned at the asy-
lum corner, southbound to Dubuque,
Wednesday morning, when Mr.. Hes
sellman, driving, attempted to make
the turn too fast. The machine went
clear into the asylum garden, turning
over. Hessellman and his son, II were
injured but managed to crawl out. The
mother and daughter were not hurt.
The injured were brought to Doc
little hospital for treatment. Hessell-
man suffered a broken left arm and
numerous cuts. The boy had deep
cut or his lower left leg and other
minor cuts and bruises. The machine
top and windshield were broken. The
Hessellmans abandoned their trip. The
Hessellman driving the car home.
The Hessellmans are a new family
at Bagley, moving onto a farm from
Iowa last spring. That explains why
they have an Iowa license on their
machine.

EASTMAN FORD
COUPE BURNS
TO BARE CHASSIS
Recent Blaze Brings to Mind
Other Hair-raising Es-
capes of Staid Citizen.

Lee Eastman was the principal in
another auto miShap Thursday after
noon, losing the upper part of his
Ford coupe by fire.
While motoring from his farm at
Liberty to the asylum and just before
reaching the asylum the county chair
man heard the car acting up" He
drove the vehicle to the asylum en-
trance way and jumped out to inves-
tigate. He found a blaze starting
around the base of the engine on the
right side amid the electric wiring.
Lee hurriedly threw dust on and
then ran for shovel. By the time he
found tools and returned the car was
in flames. There was nothing to do but
watch the blaze consume the cab and
upper part of the car, taking every
thing inf1ammable. 1t burned to ''the
waters edge" leaving the chassis, en-
CINE, running gear, tires, ETC., intact.
Lee attributes the trouble to a leaky
gas line and "shorted' wires.
Hero of Other Accidents
Mr.. Eastman has been the hero and
principal of more than the average in
auto accidents and mishaps. About
four years ago Tom Haley's car
Caught Hit uI1f1nS uOIl1C Ii OL1 NlCSd1 u
ney at might. Lee ran the car up a
long grade, the gasoline from an open
tank following at 80 miles an hour.
Lee stuck on grade, the gasoline
caught up and the car burned up Cor
burned DOWN whichever is right. The
next summer Lee was driving west
of Lancaster on the Beetown road with
a new sedan. At turn he collided
with a young man driving a Ford
truck with milk cans. Both cars were
smashed up and both drivers treated
to a milk bath. The next summer Lee
and son, Roy, were driving in from
Liberty. At the rail crossing south of
the Borah farm they were struck by
a Northwestern freight train. The
father and son were carried with their
machine on the cowcatcher for dis
lance and hurled aside. The car was
a wreck and Lee was badly bruised.
Roy escaped unhurt.
Lee is batting thousand on his
seasonal average. In not a single case
has he been to blame for the accidents,
fires, etc., but fate seems to carry him
in mind for some kind of a thrill ev-
cry year. Yet he is a mild and easy
going business man and farmer with
no desire for movie stuff.
Lee says if anyone wants good
chassis cheap to see him.
