up IOr cOnSlQeraLlOn on the n0OI
of the House, Congressman We
fald, as will appear from page
5s01 of the Congressional Record
of April 4, 1924, asked the mem
Der of the Committee in charge of
the bill If it included all of the
claims, and was assured that II did.
He then inquired whether if 1t did
not include all of the claims, they
would be taken care of, and was
assured that they would be. He
then made no objection to the
passage of the bill. Since its
passage, he has learned that it did
not include the claim of the heirs
of Ben. L. Fairbanks. This claim
will be inserted in the bill in the
Senate, and concurred in by the
House. Mr.. Fairbanks was the
only one of the claimants who
actually put up the money his
estate is asking should be .repaid.
No action has been taken by tie
House Committee on H. R 81 and
H. R %, dealing with the pay
ments recommended by the Indian
Bureau for the land and timber in
the Minnesota National Forest
Reserve. Unless these bills are
amended so thattthe appropriations
therein made are to be merely
applied on account, they will be
resisted by Mr., Wefald on the
floor of the House, and will be
defeated in the Senate.
There has never been a time in
the history of Chippewa matters
when there were so many self
constituted representatives of the
Tribe appearing in Washington,
and claiming to represent the
great body of the Chippewa peo
pie. William Madison, a member
of the Tribe, but who has not
lived iu Minnesota for several
years, has become one of the self
constituted representatives. James
l. Coffey is still posing as a repre-
sentative of the great body of the
Chippewas. This self constituted
representation has been augmented
by Fred Peake of Minneapolis,
Minnesota, and a. number of
others. Most of them haye be-
come advocates of legislation pro-
posed by the Indian Bureau, and
are undoubtedly getting a hand
out from the Bureau, which ex-
plains their attitude. 1t is largely
on account of this situation that
the Senate Committee has decided
that the only thing to do is to
make a complete inquiry into the
entire Chippewa situation, and
ascertain the facts first hand and
then formulate a complete remedy.

ADVICE for Iettsr Writer.

When sending a stamp in letter In
stead Of moistening one corner and
sticking It to the paper, moisten q
small spot in the center Of the stamp
and then afIix 1t to your letter. The
removal of small part of the adhesive
substance from the center In no way
impairs the usefulness Of the stamp
whereas 1t is often torn II the corner
Is fastened.

by Supt. Wadsworth of the Con.
solidated Agency at Cass Lake in
July, 1922, when the matter of
ratification of the Nelson Actsof
1908 in regard to tho Forest Re-
serve was the subject, including
Star Island and eleven townships.
Star Island contains about 400
acres, baving on it the best stand.

sofa.
On, or about the 9th of July,
1922, 1 overheard some people
talking at.Lengby, Mimi. about a
big council called at Cass Lake by
Supt. Wadsworti, who is the In
dian Agent at the Consolidated
Agency at Cass Lake, for the pur.
pose of ratifying said Act, and
which I was informed the Mime.
sofa Chippewas we're interested in,
and l also heard that those Bands
we're calling for assistance from
White Earth Indian reservation to
help to guard their rights. l then
took it upon myself to 90 to. their
assistance and which ! did and was
there at the proceedings of the
so called council. Among those
with ME from the White Earth
reservation::were Frank D. Beaul
leu, Ed. Rogers, and others. l
had a conference with them at the
Indian hotel about this Act which
l was not very familiar with and
from their information l proceeded
to assist my fellow Indians in get
ting fair and square deal on this
Act in its present form, and l also
gave my opinion as to how it
should be remidied in their inter
ests. I said when you 60 to your
council tomorrow morning can't
you have some amendment to this
Act before we ratify it2 said,
this Act is fourteen years old and
your land at that time wasn't as
valuable as it is today, and also
your pine and timber which this
Act reads to allow you 81 .25 per
acre for agricultural lands and
$500 per Thousand for your pine.
Now gentlemen, l know, and you
all know that the increased valua.
ton of today is far ahead of the
valuation of IA years ago. Now
why not get the present valuation
of your timber and lands! l am
informed that summer resort loca-
tions are worth from 800 to $500
per lot, and also your pine is worth
from $40 to $l4 at least, as it was
sold for these prices on the stump
on the White Earth reservation in
1906. And of course now the pres.
ent prices of pine are as high as
$50 per thousand on the stump.
And If you can't get this amend.
ment in, at least try and get the
interest for IA years which you
have lost. .-..
So on the 10th Of July at the
opening of the council / watched
the movements of the Indian Bur
eau and failed to hear anyone sug-
gest any amendments to that
effect. On the other hand Mr..
Wadsworth called the meeting
together and introduced Doctor
Wooster from the Indian Depart
ment who made an extended
speech of fiattery on himself and
the present Indian Agentsnd how
they were trying u help the In.
d,ans and also mentioned the Com
missioner Of Indian Affairs, Mr..
Burke, az being a very honorable
nan of influence who could be de-
pended upon to help his children.
And not being able to come him
self, sent me with full authority
to sct in his place. The Act Of,

j. C. Walton, John A. Whitehurst,
president of the state board of agricul-
ture, three other state officials and a
former employee were indicted here by
a district court grand jury for alleged
offenses during Walton's administra-
ton.

a report by Fred Parkinson, state ex-
aminer and inspector, showing an al
legged discrepancy of S134,0 900 in the
accounts of the Oklahoma Agriculture
and Mechanical college under the adj
ministration of NJ. j. Otey, former

Short received orders from Governor
Trap to make an investigation and
bring criminal action if the findings
warrant.
Seven indictments already are pend
ing against the former executive,

mer governor, who was accused in tes-
timony at the impeachment trial of
