Pine Point Indians
Endorse 0. J. Larson
As Their Attorney,

At a council held at Pine Poirt
on the 29th of last month, the
Pine Point Indians passed reso-
luton endorsing o. J. Larson, OF
Duluth. as their choice of an 1t
torney to represent the Chippewas
in the swamp land case now before
the United States Supreme Court
We are surprised at this action on
the part of our Pine Point friends
and are of the opinion that some
outside influence was brought 10
bear to bring this about. We
have no information as to the
number Of Indians present at the
council when said resolution was
passed, we do not believe however
that the resolution expresses the
sentiment of the majority at Pine
Point, for the more intelligent
members of the tribe in that 10
cality have always been, and we
believe always will be staunch
supporters of Mr.. Ballinger. .
However, as the swamp land
case is scheduled to come before
the United States Supreme Court
in October, it is rather late to ap.
point an attorney to represent the
Chippewas, as an attorney not
familiar with facts would not have
time to familiarize himself with
the case before it came to trial.
This endorsement by the many
different bands of different at.
torneys only tends to delay and
complicate matters. Should an
attorney be appointed to represent
the Indians in the swamp land
matter, it will be one appointed
by the Department, regardless Of
the wishes of the Indians in the
premises.

INDIAN WOMAN WILL
DO WELFARE WORK

The. State of Nebraska has re-
Gently undertaken new departure
in Indian welfare work. Mrs.
Addie Boucher, a fullblooded
Sioux Indian woman, who is also
a graduate nurse, has assigned to
work the Indian women on all of
the reservations in the State. She
is to carry on her department NJ
der the provisions of the Shep.
pard.Towner Maternity Act.
Her work will be to consult
with Indian women and advise
them on all problems relating to
maternity. The State Welfare
Department of Nebraska is con.
vinced that there is great need of
such work among the native In
dian women. The Indian mothers
as well as their young children
will be greatly benefited by expert
opinion. -.
Mrs. Boucher was born on the
Winnebago reservation in Nebras'
ka and was educated at the Indian
school at Hampton, Virginia.
After her graduation she took up
nursing. Later she married and
returned to the reservation. Fob
lowing the adoption of the Mstern-
ity Act she went to Chicago and
took special course in the Illinois
Training School. On her return
she was named by the State for
this work among her people.

Chippewas Protesting
Against Use Of Funds
Sec No Good Reason Why Attorneys Be Paid
To Do What Government Should Do.

In regard to the swamp lands
given by the federal government
to the State of Minnesota. many
Chippewn Indians cannot see the
reason why any attorney must be
paid from the tribal funds in order
to retrieve the value of those lands.
Many leaders among the Chippe
was claim that as the government
gave away those lands any expense
relative to the payment therefor
should be paid by the government
and not taken from the tribal
funds of the Chippewas.
Those who know claim that the
endorsements of the different fac,
tions of attorneys and politicians
will have little or no effect on 6he
appointment when it comes to the
real appointing. That matter has
been fixed" long ago and by
men who have been with the de.
partment so long that they cannot
be ousted. Some of the Indians
claim that an attorney is a needless
expense of the Chippewa funds.
Investigation will be demanded
by the Chippewas relative to the
placing upon the rolls, persons
who have been kept off for years.
Claim is made that some sinister
influence is at work, placing these
alleged Indians on the rolls where
the attorney who get them
placed" is rewarded by a large
fee and the so.called Indian helps
eat up the sustance of the tribe.
Unless something is done, say
Indians who claim to know, the
Chippewa nation will be bankrupt
within the next FIVE years and the
members of the tribe will be
thrown on the counties in which
they make their homes. The In
dians object to the present manner
of administering the Chippewe
funds.
The Chippcwas are on the
lookout for bills which they ex-
pect will be introduced in Con-
gress, paying certain parties for
services from Chippewa funds.
Under the vigilant eye of the
Chippewas and their friends, the
bills in all probability will not get
to first base.

Red Lake SaWmiII Aid
to Red Lake indians.
Average Daily Payroll Since Early In July
Has Been s254. Only SeIsn White
Men Employed.
(Bemidji Pioneer)

Through the courtesy of A. L,
Molander of the Red Lake rail-
road, a Pioneer reporter was taken
to Redby Thursday afternoon in
Mr.. Molander's railroad Ford and
given ample time there to inspect
the modern new sawmill at that
place. The trip to Redby was made
at an average speed of 30 miles
per hour.
The new sawmill at this place
has been running since July 1st. 1t
is largely through the efforts of B.
H. Dooley, superintendent of the
Red Lake Indian Agency, that this
sawmiIl was constructed on the
reservation and his efforts have re
suited in the steady employment
of a goodly number of Indians.
The mill is government owned,
that is, funds for its construction
are from the government. Profits
from the lumber cut there go into
a revolving fund which is used to
pay labor, buy new stumpage and
increase the tribal funds.
T.. M. Dickinson of Bemidji
built the new mill with his carpen-
ter crew and his work is a distinct
credit. Visitors to the plant vino
know sawmills admit that it is one
of the best constructed in this state
and one of the best arranged. The
building is Of heavy galvanized
iron sbeetipg and the foundations
are entirely of concrete. The
foundations insure stability and it
is noteworthy fact that there is
no vibration felt in the mill when
the plant is operating. There are
many features not found in other
The Tomahawk., 1925-09-17

mills. including special constructed
concrete coupterweights, concrete
piers and easy accessibility to all
parts.
The power house is absolutely
fireproof, being of brick and con-
crete construction. A 32O horse
power Murray Corliss engine fur.
nishes power for the mill aud fuel
used in the boiler is scrap material
and sawdust from the mill. The
6ywheel on the engine alone weighs
nine tons. The boilers are fed
automatically. 300 sacks of
Portland cement were used in the
construction of the plant and all
the timber and lumber used was
cut'by the old circular saw mill at
Red Lake. which is now dismantl
ed. The plant was built through
out by ordinary house carpenters
and the machinery was installed
without the aid of a single sawmill
man, except A. G. Goddard of Be-
midi, who is superintendent of
the mill. Too much credit for the
excellence of the buildings cannot
be given to @. M. Dickinson who
had charge Of the construction,
Mr.. Goddard says.
The plant has its own lighting
system, a generator being installed
in the power house. A cottage
for the superintendent consisting
of II rooms and all modern was
also built by Mr.. Dickinson and it
is a splendid home.
All work in the plant is done by
Indians, residents of the reserva-
tion, except the skilled labor. sc
men are now employed there and
only seven of these are white men.
The whites are a milwright, saw
yer, grader, filer, two settlers and
a foreman. Rates paid to the help
run from SO 90 to $3.50 per day.

Local Council Meeting
Called for Sept. 18th
an Important One,
Chlppewas to Protest Against Recent
Executive Order Extending Period Of
Guardianship Over Indian AIIotments.

The meeting of the White Earth
LOCAL Council that is called to be
held on Saturday, Sept. 10Th, will
be an important one and all who
possibly can should not fail to
attend. The council is called for
the purpose of protesting against
the recent executive order of the
Department extending the twenty.
FIVE year limit of guardianship
over Indian allotments and pro-
perty ten years. longer. This
twenty five year period expires
this year, and the Department has
just issued an executive order ex.
tending the time ten years more.
While the more intelligent mem.
bers of the Chippewas do not oh.
ject to the government retaining
supervision over the property of
the incompetent and infrm In
dians, they do object to such an
oroer when it includes all men,
bers of the Chippewa tribe. While
the notice or this order appearing
in the press, a copy of which ap.
pears in another column, is not
very explicit, the members of this
reservation want to 60 on record
that they do not wish to be includ
ed in any such executive order.
For many years the great ma
jority of the Chippewa people
have been making strenuous efforts
toward complete emancipation
from all government supervision,
and the recent executive order,
should it include them, will re
ceive no sanction from this class
of Chippewas, and it is for the
purpose of registering a vigorous
protest against such action by the
Department that the council is
called.
Other matters of great import.
ance to the Chippewas are to be
taken up at this meeting, among
which is the matter of per capita
payment this winter of not less
than 500. Another matter of
importance to come before the
council at this meeting is in regard
to the act passed by the state leg.
islature last winter authorizing
the Governor to appoint a com
mittee to confer with the federal
authorities with the view of hav-
ing the state of Minnesota take
over the administration of the
affairs of the Indians within its
borders. An effort is to be made
to have this committee present at
the council meeting in order that
an understanding may be reached
in this matter. This is. q move
that meets with the approval of
many Indians and will be seriously
considered. '~.

Some farmers are going to plant

WASHINGTON CLAIMS SECOND LARGEST
ISLAND IN u. S. IN WILDLY ISLAND

WHIDBY ISLAND, which has long
w been called the garden spot Of
Western Washington, is the second
largest island in the United States,
being second in size only to Long Is
land, New York; and the time will
come when it will equal its eastern
rival in relative population TO area,
for WILDLY has it ''all over" Long Is
land in many respects, ard 1t will be
only until the real advantages Of this
western country become thoroughly
known to the Fasteners, when this
section will gather to its bosom the
population it deserves to have.
WILDLY has a climate just little
different from most of the Sound
country, for situated as it is in the
midst of this inland sea, and under
the lea Of the majestic Olympics, its
climate is even more temperate than
the rest of the Sound country, and
the rainfall considerably less, averag,
ing but 22.49 inches for the year, and
quite evenly distributed.
On WILDLY practically every crop
and all kinds. of fruits that grow in a
temperate zone, flourish. The cher.
ries of the Island rival the best that

privileged to expose the seed for
sale for seeding purposes. A test
costs the farmer nothing and it may
save him few hundred dollars in
the course of two or three years. A
two-ounce sample sent to the state
seed laboratory, Boise, or the branch
laboratory, Moscow, should be re-
ported in day or two.
The report will give the purity,
which may be as high as $3.50 per
cent, The purchaser is not so much
interested in the purity as what COM

Whidby has been compared to the
Island of Guernsey, in the English
Channel, being similar in soil and eli
mate to that famous channel island,
and then, too, it was the home of the
first Guernsey cattle brought to Wash
ington. Here, in an early day, A. H
kellogg landed the pioneer Guernsey
herd, the first to come into the North
west, and ever since that time Guern-
seys have been the dominating
breed on WILDLY, until today it is
often referred to as the Guernsey
Island of America; not a bad smile,
for from the very earliest days of its
settlement WILDLY has been given
over largely to dairying, and its fer
tile meadows dotted with white and
lemon-colored cattle easily suggest
the comparison made with Guernsey.
But in one way WILDLY differs from
Guernsey-it is near the mainland,
with quarter and half-hourly ferry SER
vice, and an auto-freight and stage
service, comparable to the interurban
service on the mainland, SO complete
is the accommodation.
This glimpse of WILDLY, the agri-
cultural and scenic Mecca" OF the
Northwest, gives but faint idea of
this truly wonderful spot, fast becom-
ing the playground for weary
city folk, for WILDLY now boasts of
more than one haven of rest where
the weary OF mind and body may go
to spend day, week, or month, away

forests and along the smooth, glitter

entire width of the Island at its mar
rowest point, one mile and quarter
