Small Amount Of Annuity Recently Received
Is but Little Help to the indians In
Preparing for the Coming Cold
Weather.
SAW MILLS EMPLOYING BUT
few MEN--W0Rk IS SCARCE.
Per Capita Payment OaIy Means Of StaV'
ing Oft Suffering, Say Old Members
49,, Of the Tribe.

With the advent of cold weather
the condition among q great ma
jority of the Chippewas is brought
forciably to mind, and one won
ders what is to become of some of
them in the event that they do not
receive a per capita allowance
from their tribal funds at an early
date. Bills providing for a per
capita payment will no doubt be
introduced in Congress by friends
of the Chippewas when-that body
convenes this month, but whether
they will pass and become law is
another matter. Commissioner of
Indian Affairs Charles H. Burke,
has made it very plain that he is
opposed to a per capita payment
to the Chippewas at this time. and
it must be remembered that the
Indian Bureau has a powerful
influence with Congress This
opposition from a branch of our
government that is supposed to
look after and assist the Indians
when they are in need, is hard to
understand, especially when the
funds in question belong to the
Indians and not to the government.
At the local council meeting
held here on Saturday, Nov. 2lst.
. committee was appointed to
formulate petition to be circulat
ed among the Indians in every
locality on this reservation and
elsewhere asking for per capita
payment. This petition is now in
circulation and no doubt will be
literally signed, whether Il will
have any effect ON Congress or on
Commissioner Burke We are unable
to say. ~
At no time in their existance
have the Chippewas been more in
need Of financil aid than at the
present time. The annuity pay
ment this year, and which was
paid the latter part of October,
was unusually small-only $11 so
Indians we have talked with state
that this small amount did not 60
far toward paying their grocery
and clothing bills, doctor bills, etc
In fact many Of them state that it
was impossible for them to pay
their bills in many instances, as
their children needed shoes and
other clothing in ordor that they
might attend school, all Of which
had to be purchased with the an
nuity payment money. 1t must
be taken into consideration that
there is little or no work of any
kind for the Indians in the winter.
The j. B. SDrofka saw mill east OF
this village which has always furn
ished employment for good many
Indians during the winter months,
is about through, in fact it isfsaid
that this is Mr.. Sprofka's last
winter in the sawmill business on
this reservation. Likewise the
Rogalski mill in Mahnomen coun-
ty, Mr.. Rogalski is finishing up
this winter. and as . consequence
neisher one of these mills are
employing much help this winter.
The Webster Lumber Company,
! which operated u small millin this
vicinity last winter, has also quit.
These mills not only furnished
employment for men at the mills
and ia the woods. 'bataalso for all

PRISON BOOSTS
TWINE OUTPUT
FOR THIS YEAR
Two Million Pounds More
to Be Produced Than
in 1924

Improved methods Of production
will boost the twine output at the
state prison for 1925 by 100000
pounds, Warden John Lee announced
today in reviewing results of new
working schedule in operation at the
prison for six months.
BY working a'noon shift at the
twine plant and with the aid of a
short night shift, the prison will pro-
duce more than 100000 worth of
binder twine for the current year
over last year, Lee estimated.
The 1925 prison twine output will
sell for approximately 100000, the
prison warden estimated. Last years
production brought S54l,000, he
stated.
There are 254 inmates in the state
penitentiary at present. OF this
number, more than 100 are employed
in the twine plant, which works on
a ten-hour shift.
A score of prisoners are employed
on the outside to work the peniten-
tiary farm.
Although the North Dakota pen
itentiary does not employ the "trusty"
system, inmates with steady records
are allowed limited freedom. So
called TRUSTEES" are always under
some form of surveillance.
No escapes have bene reported for
the last IL months.
The morale among the men is ex-
cellent, according to Warden Lee.
"We have four men under lock and
key all the time," he stated. "These
are incorrigible. They won't work.
As soon as they change their atti-
tude, we will let them loose"

JOHN D. DENIES
ATTEMPT TO
EVADE TAX

New York, July 1l.-R-Sale Of
John D. Rockefeller's four homes to
his son, John d. Rockefeller, Jr., is
announced, but vigorous denial is
made that the purpose is to avoid
heavy inheritance taxes if the son
were to come into possession of the
home after the fathers death, at the
office of lvey Lee, counselor of pub.
lie relations for Rockefeller family,
it was said today. The price paid in
round figures for four pieces of
property was $3,O0O.000. The prop
erty was not sold to evade the in
heritance tax or gift tax. it was
stated. Money was paid in cash. The
elder Rockefeller has been gradually
abandoning responsibility in recent
years. He sold his Cleveland prop
erty including the Forest Hills estate
to the sons several years ago.
At one time his wealth was esti-
mated one billion dollars. but since
then he has made large gifts to his
children and grandchildren.

EXPERT FINDS
RUST TRACES
NEAR BISMARCK.
Agriculturist Says No Harm,
Has Been Done; Predicts
Great Crop Here

To the skilled observer, nearly
every field of wheat around Bis
marck. and north to Minot will re-
veal slight trace of black stem
rust. Daniel f. Willard of St. Paul,
agriculturist for the Great Northern
railroad, said yesterday, after a crop
scouting trip through the central part
of the state.
No harm has yet been done by this
rust, Mr.. Willard said, but if the
weather becomes hot and humid for
n period Of time, a serious impair
ment of the wheat crop may develop
But if the weather continues hot and
dry like it was Friday, it was Mr..
Wizards opinion that the harvest
would be particularly good. He said
that in the territory visited the
stands were good, although some
fields were wcedy.
"Despite slight traces Of rust, crops
generally looked the best and finest
in the 80 years that have been
inspecting them in that territory" he
declared. "And as you get toward
Bismarck from Minot there are the
finest fields of rye, flax, and oats, in
addition to wheat, that I've ever seen
there"
If there were not barberry bush
in the northwest, early rust infection
would stop, he believed. But it would
come later in the season in the winds
from Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas,
he said.
In addition to barbcrry eradication,
therefore, farmers should plant as
early as possible an early maturing.

Begin Mapping Work in Con

c. l.. Sadlcr, U. S. geological sur

at Coleharbor last night to begin
work of mapping the Coleharbor
Quadrangle in connection with a
project agitated for several years in
the vicinity Of Coleharbor and Devils
Lake to divert the Missouri River
into Devils Lake by constructing a
valley watershed ridge.
Diversion of the Missouri River
into Devils Lake would provide an
adequate reservoir supply of drinking
water for Devils Lake in addition to
aiding in establishing an irrigation
project designed to make the region
about Devils Lake available for spe-
cial crop acreage, according to
George NJ. Mcmahon, state highway
commissioner.
Tentative plans contemplate a
shaft under the dividing range
formed by the watershed of the Mis-
souri,, Mouse and James river, it was
announced by highway officials.
An association for furtherance of
the Devils Lake project, headed by
S. w. Thompson, assistant district at
torney, will meet at Devils Lake, next
Monday, it was stated.
Geological survey work will in
clude a map of the Mouse river which
will be used to determine plans for
adequate flood control contemplated
by Minot business men. It is esti-
mated tMinot loses between $5O,OO0
and 100000 from the overflow of
