vealed BY an old diary, a copy of
which is in the possession of the

To supply Indians with liquor
was forbidden by the federal law,
but considerable subterranean
trade developed as a result of the
huge profits involved and the Indian
fondness for the fiery liquid. The
diary of the Reverend Edmund F.
Ely, a missionary who came to
Minnesota in 1885,, contains many
entries, particularly for the year
1S47, dealing with rum running"

Beneath the graceful sycamosel
trees and guarded on all sides ~
giant redwoods towering several
hundred feet above, 500 Minneso-
tans from all over central Califor-
mia gathered the fore part of this
month for q picnic at Sycamore
Park, on the Big Tree highway in
Santa Cruz county, California.
Some of the "Gophers" have been
in California for more than fifty
years; others came for the first
time to attend the picnic. ! &
The real purpose of the picnic
was to make further arrangements
for the caravan back to Minnesota
in the spring. Mrs. Fred Nc.
Cargar, secretary of the club, ex.
planned that she had a number of
letters from people with cars who
would like to have others without
machines, and who want to 60,
share the expense of the trip with

Lists of both of these groups
will be kept up to date and mailed
TO any who desire to join the cara
van, either with a car or as q
passenger. Write to Mrs. Fred
McCargar, Salinas, Calf. -.
Plans are nearing completion,
and it is only question of deter.
miuing the proper time and route
to be taken, and. the amount each
person or car should contribute
toward the general fund in order
to finance the proposition. 1t is
stated that several towns already
have sent invitations Offering to
entertain the caravan providing
they would make the night stop at
their city.
Mrs. E. jeanette Thompson,
who made the journey to CaIifor.
MIA in a covered wagon, and wants
to return in an automobile, pro-

was the daughter of Sherburn
Huse, the first millwriaht for the
steel mill at St. Anthony. Mrs.
Philip Hynes, formerly Mary
Fond, showed credentials that she
was the eighth white child born in
Minnesota. Her sister, Ruth Pond,
was the third white child, and John

Chickasaw indians "
Want D. S, to Pay
for Stolen Land.

Inc CnlckaSaW Indians are ABOUT
to present to Uncle Sam a bill for
5000, 900. 900. This announcement
is made by Mr. Douglas H. Johns
ton, governor of the Chickasaw
Nation, who has been in Washing.
ton for the past six months in the
interests of his people. The bill
is a demand for payment for g..
900, 900 acres of land in Oklahoma.
The suit for payment has its
origin in a controversy between
the government and the Indians
which involves a doubtful con-
struction of a treaty and the firm
stand of toe Chickasaws. TO adopt
as freedmen and members of the
tribe the negroes who had been
slaves of the tribe. The treaty
was made in 1866, and the leased
district, in what later was Okla
homa Territory, covered lands
once occupied by the Wichita and
affiliated tribes. The Chickasaws
contend that the contracts covering
it we're lease contracts. This was
ali opinion expressed by the, Court
of Claims when the matter was
first appealed. The United States
Supreme Court, however, held
that contracts involved convey
ances and that the lands were sold.
The area was regarded By the
government as public domain and
sold to settlers for many millions
of dollars.
According to Governor Johnston
the Indians s.'ceded" these lands to
the United States for certain spe
cific purposes. Among these pur.
poses we're the settlement of
friendly Indians, the removal of
Chickasaw and Chotaw freedmen.
and the settlement of such mem
bers of the tribe as might wish to
remove there. 4 .
The treaty also provided" says
Governor Johnston, for a fund
of $500, 900 which was to be held
in trust by the United States,
pending the removal or adoption
of the freedmen. 1t was provided
that the Chickasaw and Choctaw
freedmen were to be removed, if
the tribe failed to adopt them
within two years, in which event
the 100000 was to be used for
removal. If the tribe adopted
such freedmen within the time
specified, they were to have the
benefit of the 100000. M
"The Chickasaw freedmen never
were adopted. The tribe never
has claimed nor has it ever receiy-
ed any part of the compensation. :"
The Indians hold~they made a
lease and not q conveyance to the
government. Governor Johnston
says that Indian treaties must be
interpreted as the Indians under
stood them. The Indians, accord
ing to him, did not intend to part
with the title, and the United
States did not mean to acquire it.

Nez Perce Indians Out
After Burke's Scalp.
Commissioner, Answering Protest, Calls
,. Prices Paid for Timber highest
Ever Paid.

Perce tribe to the subcommittee
investigating Indian affairs in Ore.
gon that their interests had been
neglected in the government sale
of timber from their reservation,
has been answered by Charles H.
Burke, notorious Commissioner of
Indian Affairs, with the declara-
tion that the prices received for
this timber were the highest ever
paid for a comparable product.
The Nez Perce indians received
500 per capita from the proceeds
of the sale, he said. He also ex-
planned the procedure followed in
the leasing limestone mineral
rights, complaint against which
was made, by the Indians, and
which lie contended followed ex-
actly the laws for leasing of un-
allotted Indian lands. Burke, who
seemed to believe that the Indian
Bureau should be run to suit
Charles H. Burke, regardless of
the wishes or desires of his Indian
"proteges," answered this latest
accusation of mismanagement as
follows:
The land on the Nez Perce In.
dian Reservation included in the
leases was opened to exploration in
the usual manner. Mining loca-
tions were made in accordance
with the act and leases were exc
cuted in favor of the locators, as
required by law. The act pro
vides that the rate of royalty shall
be not less thar 5 per cent of the
net value of the minerals at the
mine, and the Bureau of Mines,
after having an examination made,
recommended that the rate of
royalty for these particular leases
be fixed at u per cent, which
recommendation was adopted by
the department. .--r->-- as.-....
VERY little development work
has been done on these leases al.
though the superintendent reports
that the assessment work required
by the act is being kept up. There
has been considerable difficulty
over two of the leases on account
of q reported attempt to sublet
them. The sub-lease was never
submitted for action and the de-.
partment has taken the position
that any dispute between the part
les to the alleged sub-lease must
be settled by them as best they
may.
''On June %, 1918. a unit of
timber was sold from the Nez
Perce Indian Reservation to the
Craig Mountain Lumber Company
of Winchester, Idaho. The con-
tract price was $3.50 per 1000 feet
for yellow pine and 81 for inferior
species. Under this contract, en-.
tirely completed in July, 1923,
approximately 100000 feet
were cut for the Nez Perce indians
received approximately $3.50, 900
net income.
On August 2, 1923, two other
units were sold to the same com
pany. For this pine timber $3.50
per 1000 feet was received on one
unit and "a 80 on the other and
$1.5O for inferior units. Prior to
June 80. 1925. approximately
$4,000, 600 feet had been cut from
these two units, for which more
than 500, 900 net had been received
and placed to the credit Of the Nez
Percs Indians.
'::The timber was mature and
prior to the sales the Indians were
deriving no substantial revenue
from the timber lands. The sale
of the timber has afforded funds

RAD ROADS COST
MORE THAN GOOD
CONTINUED from first page)

ton-miIes on concrete, Elton miles
ON Gravel and only IA ton-miles on
tho average earth road. In other
words. we pay nc gasoline mud tax
when we drive on concrete. But when
we drive on gravel we pay a rougn
road gas tax of six and two-thlrds
cents per gallon and when we drive
on earth roads we pay the enormous
tax of sixteen and two-thirds cents
ner gallon for the privilege of not
having a pavement. Common sense
asks. IS the privilege worth the
price,
"Similar figures are becoming
available for tires An Indiana bus
line gets $4,000 miles of travel from
it's tires on the line that follows the
concrete road, and never over l2,OOO
miles on the line that is exclusively
on gravel roads. On gravel, then, the
rough-road tire tex is over 115 per
cent. Far better for this operator
would it be to pay tire tax of even
100 per cent and buy, together with
the other users of that gravel road,
good pavement to replace it. The
available evidence is that not over
100 users per day would be required
to pay for a pavement, and abolish
these tire and gasoline taxes. Similar
evidence is available from some re-
cent tests made by the Engineering
experiment station Of the state col
lege. On gravel roads tires wore out
IL times as fast as they did on con-
crete pavements. In fact the life of
tires on pavement is determined by
accidents and old age. They don't
wear out, while tires on gravel have
short life and a rough one.
Mr.. Thomas H. Macdonald, chief
of the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads
recently formulated this fundamental
principle: "Lack of complete trunk
line highway system is greater
economic cost to the public than the
cost of constructing it." He also
said: "Until a state has completed
the backbone Of its trunk line sys-
tenn with suitable paved or surfaced
should be independent of the source
of the revenue or the method of pay
ment for the work. For the use Of
the principal highways is so extern
sive that the people pay for adequate
highways whether they have them or
not, and they pay less if they have
them than if they have them not"
In other words, the people have but
the one choice, that is, to pay little
for good roads or lot for bad ones.
Which do they prefer?
