particularly those in the middle Allan
tic and New England states, often
dress the turkeys and either sell them
direct to the consumer or 20 city deal
ers. In some sections shortly before
Thanksgiving there is held what is
known as turkey day. On the day be-
fore this event every turkey grower in
the neighborhood kills and dresses his
turkeys and the following morning
brings them into town.

Mating Fowls for Points

When mating fowls of the smaller
sized varieties, one male to twelve or
fifteen females is sufficient; for me-
dunn sized varieties. one male to ten
or twelve females; for large varieties,
like Cochins and Brahmas, one male
TO eight or ten females. This refers to
breeding for ordinary purposes be-
cause when breeding for Improvement
of standard qualities the size of the
mating depends on how many fowls
can be found which the breeder thinks
will breed well together and produce

Again calling attention to the fact
that an adequate automatic train con-

the known death OF sixteen passen-

1t took ihe Indians of the coun.
try eighteen years to thus undo
the wrong inflicted upon them by
Charles H. Burke in 1905, when
he traded the rights of the great
body of the American Indians to
citizenship in the United States to
win a State Capitol fight in South
Dakota. The Indians insist that
since he has been Commissioner
of Indian Affairs his conduct #
that Office has been on a par with
his law of 1906. So bitterly do
they resent his appointment as
head of the Bureau, having under
its control their affairs, and his
retention in Office, over their pro-
test, that they are organizing in
every section of the country with
the avowed purpose of defeating,
if their votes can accomplish that
end, every man running for public
Office in anywise connected with
the present National Administra-
ton. 1t was the Indian vote in
South Dakota that defeated the
Coolidge, and elected the johnson
delegates to the recent Republican
National Convention. What The
Indians did in South Dakota during
the recent primaries they are
preparing to repeat in the coming
elections in every state where
there are any considerable number
of Indian votes.

the General Council transacted its
business in an orderly and bust
nesslike manner. The same ques
tions and resolutions that were
before the council last year were
brought up and passed upon A
resolution was adopted commend
ing Webster Ballinger for the
good work he has done in behalf
of the Chippewas, and supporting
bis retention as attorney for the
Chlppewas. A committee was APP
pointed, consisting of the legisla.
tive committee of the General
Council to meet the Senate Inves-
tigating Committee when it comes
to the Chippewa country this sum-
mer or early fall. With the eX-
ception of the vice-president and

reelected. Mrs. Henry Hardy of
Mahnomen was elected vice-presi.
dent, and Arthur &. Beaulieu of
White Earth was elected treasurer.
The president, Edward L Rogers,
holds over as president for another
year.
All the delegates expressed sat-
isfaction at the manner in which
the council was conducted. All
realize that nothing of any i'm
portance can be accomplished until
after the Senate Investigating
Committee who are to conduct a
thorough investigation into all
Chippewa matters this summer,
and who have already started their
work, has submitted it's report,
which will be sometime in Decem-
ber next. Until then nothing of
importance can be accomplished
by any council. 1t is the earnest
hope of all intelligent Chippewas
that the committees report will
bring to an end the long standing
Chippewa controversy.

fifth Annual Meeting
Of the General Council.
Council Holds Regular Meeting at Cass
Lake on Tuesday, July 9Th.

In accordance with it's constitu-
ton and bylaws the General
Council, Minnesota Chippewas,
convened at Cass Lake last week
Tuesday and transacted all busi-
ness that came before the council.
AS in the past the so.called full!
blood element, headed by Ben
Caswell, refused to join in with
the regular council and held a
council of their own, this was not
a success however, as the Indians
are.fsr from being satisfied with
Caswell and his program, Cas-.
well, who claims to be president
of this rump council, is an em.
ployee of the Indian Bureau and
he and his satellites are no doubt
working under instructions from
the Bureau with the view of keep
ing alive the factional feeling
among the Chippewas. Repre-.
sentative Knud Wefald, tried and
true friend of the Chippewa peo-
pie, talked at length to the Caswell
followers at their counci! in an
effort to make them see things as
they are and to get together, but
without avail. Misled by the In
dian Bureau, their minds poisoned
by paid employees of the Indian
Bureau, such as Caswell and
others who, according to the rules
and regulations of the Bureau,
have no right whatever to take
any active part, in Indian councils,
they simply refuse to listen to
reason.

Commissioner Charles H.
Burke'S Administration
Of indian Affairs A
Dismal Failure.
More Dissatisfaction and More Suffering
Among the Indian People During the
Past -Four Years Than at any
Previous Time.

Reports reaching Washington
indicate that the Indians in every
section of the country resent the
appointment of Charles H. Burke
as Commissioner of Indian Affairs
and his retention in Office through
out the Republican National Ad-
ministration. This resentment is
deep rooted and far reaching. 1t
is not based upon anything per.
sonal, but solely upon the official
record of the man who has been
placed in control of the affairs of
the Indian people.
The Indian population of the
United States no longer consists of
illiterate, ignorant savages. The
Indians, as a rule, have become
educated, capable of thinking and
acting for themselves, To them
citizenship in the United States is
a priceless privilege. Only through
its exercise could they ever hope
to become a real part of the Gov
ernment under which they live.
Their bitter enmity toward Charles
H. Burke found it's inception in
an Act of Congress passed in 1905,
of which the present G Commissioner
was the author.
By the Act of February 8, 1887,
known as the General Allotment
Act, every Indian in the United
States upon taking an allotment of
land, or upon taking up his or her
residence separate and apart from
any tribe of Indians, and upon
adopting the habits of civilized
life was declared to be a full
citizen of the United States.
Upon the admission of South
Dakota into the Union the Capitol
of the new State was located at
Pierre. Immediately thereafter
movement was started to remove
the Capitol to the town of Mitchell.
This eliminated in an act of the
legislature passed in 1908 submit
ting the question to tho people
under a proposed constitutional
amendment. At the election held
in 1904, at which the Indian vote
was excluded as the great body of
the Indians in South Dakota had
not then been allotted, the Capitol
was retained at Pierre, the vote
being 5S,617 for its retention. at
Pierre an Al, ,155 for its removal to
the town Of Mitchell. Notwith-
standing the submission of the
question to the people of South
Dakota in 1904 a large part of the
people insisted upon its being re-
submitted. About this time allot-
ments to the different bands of the
Great Sioux Tribe in South Da-
kota were about to be made.
When the Indians were allotted
they became citizens, and as such
we're entitled under the then ex-
listing law to participate in any
election at which the Capitol ques-

JOSEPH N. NICOLLET
Four wears after the discovery
of Lake Itasca in 1882 by, Henry
R. Schoolcraft and Lieutenant
James Allen, there appeared upon
it's shores another trail blazer
Joseph N. Nicollet, a French sci.
enlist aud explorer. The earlier
explorers had spent two hours at
the lake; Nicollet devoted three
days to an exploration of the
sources of the Mississippi" He
made no pretence to discovery; he
asked only that he "be permitted
to claim some merit for having
completed what was wanting for
full geographical account of these
sources"
The scientist was not satisfied to-
assume that Lake Itaca may be
supplied with invisible sources. {"
He traced beyond the lake and
found that from the south it is fed
by FIVE creeks, II visited the
whole of them," he records, "and
among the latter there is one re-
markable above the others, mas.
much as its course is longer, and
its waters more abundant; so that,
in obedience to the geographical
rule, that the sources of a river
are those which are most distant
from its mouth this creek is truly
the infant Mississippi; all others
below it feeders and tributaries. "
This tiny stream is now known as
Nicollet Creek.
On his journey northward Mic
ollet had visited Fort Smelling and
St. Peters. Late in September
he returned to this enchanted
spot" where he was persuaded to
pass the winter. Henry H. Sibley,
who already had resided at St.
Peters for several years, and
Major Taliaferro, the Indian
agent, welcomed the opportunity
to entertain so charming a guest.
Numerous letters in the Sibley
papers, in the possession of the
Minnesota Historical Society, tes.
tify to the friendship between
Nicollet and Sibley which had its
origin in this visit. c'..
Later Nicollet went east and
submitted his maps and journals
to the secretary of war, who thsre.
upon engaged him to explore the
vast region between the upper
Mississippi and the Missouri. The
results of his explorations are
embodied in report, accompanied
by an extremely valuable map,
which was published as a congress
sional document In 1s43. |
