statements of Rev. Kah 0 Sed. If
the Rev. gentleman has seen no
suffering among the Indians on
this reservation this winter he
must be blind, for never before in
their history have the Chippewa
people been in such dire want as
they are, or we're, this winter. As

the Indians have subsisted on this
little animal until it is q wonder
the braves and pspooses are not
jumping instead of walking. Dean
Hedelund, of St. Johns Episcopal
church, Moorhead, Mimi, states
that his church encourages the
Indians to follow their former
wild life rather than to adopt the
ways of their white brothers and
become useful citizens of the state

Secretary Work Ap-

Secretary of the Interior Work
last week approved the bill intro
duced in Congress by Representa-
tive Knutson and which calls for a
settlement Of the Minnesota Chip
pewa estate. This bill authorizes
the Secretary of the Interior to
have the property of the Chippe-
was appraised by . commission
and disposed of at the value set by
the commission The Chippewas
have had one experience with
such commissions they will not
soon forget-the commission which
appraised the value of the land
and timber within the Chippewa
National Forest-and by which
the Chippewas lost in the neigh
borhood of two millions of dollars.
1t is only logical to believe that
the commission called for in the
Knutson bill will follow in the
footsteps of other commissions in
appraising property belonging to
the Indians. 1t is to be hoped
that the King Resolution, which
calls for q complete investigation
by a Senate Committee of the In
dian Bureaus administration of
the affairs of the Chippewas, will
become law, if it does the claims
of the Chippewas will be submitted
to the Court of Claims for adjust.

The Sub. Committee OF the Sen

last week reported favorably the
King Resolution, which calls for a
thorough Investigation of. the In.
dian Bureaus administration of
the affairs of the Minnesota Chip
,pewas by . Senate Committee.
Assistant Commissioner Merritt
was present at the meeting of the
subcommittee and vigorously op-
posed the adoption of The resolu.
ton. Realizing that he could not
prevent its adoption he requested
that the matter 20 over until the
next meeting, at which Commis'
sioner Burke might be- present.
At . meeting on February 18th
Commissioner Burke appeared at
q meeting Of the sub committee
but only = limited number of the
members of the committee we're
present on account Of other com,
mitsee meetings. Commissioner
Burke made q vigorous attack up
on the resolution in : lengthy
statement. Senator King treated
him with contempt, stating that
he looked upon it as insolent for a
Bureau Chief to cope before .
committee Of Congress and OPP
pose an Investigation of the con-
duct of his Office; and that he
belonged back in the Bureau and
not at the Capitol. No reply was
made to Burke's statements, the
matter going over until there was
q full committee attendance.
Senator King is determined to
put his resolution through at any
cost, if he is successful it will
mean an end to the Chippewa
controversy and the Chippewa
people will receive their just dues.
No doubt it will also be great
stride toward to abolishment of
the Indian Bureau, for if their

There are occasional cases, sucn

cannot 20 into the woods and hunt
and who in some cases don't want

number of the younger Indians
who will not work but who want
their share of the tribal funds of
the government which amounts to.

fund was distributed among the

it would all be spent before they
