DEER SEASON OPEN THIS
FALL NOVEMBER 20 TO3)

With the opening of the small
game season many hunters also
turn their thoughts to the biz
game hunting season and the
question is asked as to when the
season opens. The law provides
that the season for killing deer
shall open on the third Saturday
in November of each even num-
bered year, and that it shall be
open for ten days thereafter.
This makes the season open on
November 20, this year, and
close on November 80, or in ef-
feet an open season of II days.
This provision of the law gives
everyone two week ends in which
to hunt.
The recent proclamation Of
Governor Christensen closing
the season to the killing of does
and fawns in Itasca county,
makes it necessary to seek for
an antlered buck when hunting
big game in that County. Moose
of both sexes are fully protect
ed, and a heavy penalty attached
if conviction of killing a moose
is attained.

YOUTHS SPEND
NIGHT IN LAKE
Fourteen Hours In Water After
Boat Tips-None The Worse
For Experience

Ed Snetzinger, Jr., and Elmel
Betcher, son of Charles Betcher,
spent fourteen hours in the
water of Snetzinger Lake Thurs
day night of last week, and ars
none the worse for their exper-
ience, although the thermometel
was below the freezing point all
night.
Their boat tipped over about
a o'clock in the afternoon and
they remained in the water un-
til 6 o'clock the following morn
ing, when they were found by
neighboring boys who were look.
ing for them.
Owing to the marshy condi-
tion of the bottom of the lake
they could not wade, ashore al
though the water was shallow
enough for that. Their crys fot
help were heard but as there
were different parties hunting
throughout the country it was
thought that they were signall-
ing to each other. The parents
of each of the boys supposed he
was at the home of the other SO
their late absence from home
caused no worry until il was
found that neither was at the
home of the other, and then q
systematic search was instig-
ated.
After they were taken out OF
the water and taken to their
homes a physician was summon
ed and he found nothing wrong
with them. Monday they re-
Isumed their work threshing bi5
lit is safe to say that they will
mot want to repeat the exper-
'ience right away. --Mahnomen

iSHOW NO MERCY

The Minneapolis Tribune
takes a strong stand in the fol-
lowing editorial which does not
mince words. 'The Tribune be-
lieves that the time is ripe to
make clear that the peaceful,
lawabiding motorist has some
rights on the highway. And
there is but one way to do that
to reply to the drunken driver
with the mailed fist. 1t is use
less to expostulate with the
drunken driver, or to read him
lectures, or to plead with him to
be careful. The only thing to do
is to let him know that he must
accept the full responsibility for
his drunken acts, and that no
evasion will be tolerated and no
mercy shown. What he does he
must pay for. An example should
be made of the Monday tragedy
which will cause any future
drunk to understand that he
cannot insolently burn up the
streets, ride rough-shod over and
into innocent people, hurl other
cars into iron lamp posts, widow
wives and orphan children, de-
story, MAIN, and kill with inn
punity. Let the full rigors of
the law be visited upon any
drunken wretch whose behavior
thus outrages every normal in
stinct of decency and humanity.
"And yet, despite the sentiment
to forcibly express by this big
metropolitan paper, there have
been and still are some people
who daily, toy with and tempo
rize and help to nullify the work
of public officers who do their
duty and put them up to con-
tumely and disrespect by stories,
near hints and insinuations
when all they do is to do their
duty for you and |, an act for
which we should applaud them
and for merit well shown show
our appreciation and support. In.
telligent, able law enforcement
never was as essential as it is to-
day. In one direction alone, the
decent citizen may as well for
get buying that fine car for his
family for it may be the hearse
that will take them away from
him. There are dangers enough
without exposing them to this
fearful road danger that exists
today when every car that pass
es is, q potential threat of de-
struction.

them any form of recognized
government. The effect of the
Patterson decision, if it. should
be sustained, would be to limit
Nights in and to the funds to the
original enrollees. as they are
the only persons who could show
tribal recognition which occurred
prior to 1889, the children and
grandchildren being excluded. In
the mean time the greater, porf
tion of the estate has been dis
bursed under the ruling con-
tanned in the Solicitor decision
of 1919 re-affi1ming the prac-
tice Heretofore existing since
1889. A reversal of that ruling
lat this late day would give rise
to a claim against the United
States in excess of $5,000,000. 4
Webster Ballinger discovered
this situation and is now active
ly trying to protect the rights
of the children and grandchild-
rem of the original enrollees. In
this matter alone he is rendering
services to the Chippewa people
for which he can never be COM

ADMINISTRATION
is ENDORSED

Washington, d. C..-Demo-
cratic predictions and forecasts
that the Quiet Man at the White
House would suffer at the sena-
torlal primaries have been dis
counted by the voters themselves
at the polls. With that fine sense
OF the responsibility and obliga-
tons OF his office, for which the
President is noted, holding to
the belief that in the election of
coordinate officers of the govern
ment the people of the country
are entitled to make their choice
free OF any direction or inter-
ference in the contests.
1t was natural for the sena-
torial candidates, and they were
within their rights, to urge their
allegiance to the President as
one of the primary reasons for
their return, and this had it's
effect at the polls. In attempt
ing, however, as has been done,
to construe the nomination of
certain candidates as victories
or defeats for certain legislative
measures which the President
has endorsed, the political dag
nosticians have gone a bit afield.
The truth is the renomina-
tions were made by the people
because wholly apart from the
attitude of the Senators on the
World Court, the feeling was
current they were one with the
President in sympathetically
supporting his general conduct
of the affairs of the nation. In
short, only one conclusion can
honestly be reached, that the
people in their denominations
have once again made evident
their confidence in the President
and the character of the Admin
istration.

,WAUBUN STATE
BANK CLOSES
Institution Was Unable to Wea.
ther Shrinkage in Deposits
and Adverse Crop
Conditions.

The Waubun State Bank, in
Mahnomen County, failed to
open its doors on Tuesday morn
ing, due to the action of the
board of directors, who volun-
tarlly suspended when they
found the reserves depleted to a
point of danger, with no hope of
Immediate relief.
4 The bank was capitalized at
$4,000, with H. A. Krostue
president; and P. j. Peterson.
cashier. -
In an interview with H. A,
krostue, the following statement
was given the Record editor:
THE closing is due to the fact
that our deposits have shrunk
during the past eight months
from $190,378.66 in September
of 1925, to $9S,07S.02 at the pre-
sent time. Of this but $4,000 was
local commercial deposits, and
the combined local deposits was
only $4,000.
1--WE had $65, 900 of crop mort
cages but the adverse weather
conditions has made it impos-
sible for our farmers to get their
grain to market and nav off
these obligations.
I'VE were only carrying SIS,
600 of real estate collateral, and
this did not embarass US; but nc
bank can long continue when the
cash is being steadily withdrawn
and nothing coming in to re-
.ylace it.
Agriculture conditions have
been such that the money with
drawn has been spent for neces-
5sary living expenses, and practi-
scally none of it was returned to
the bank as a reserve.
I'VE had very little public
Tmoney and not a dollar of paper
carried for officers or directors. y
The statement made by Mr..
Krostue is but a repetition of con
ditions which have embarrassed
many banking institutions dur
ing the past two years. The peo-
Iple as a whole are not saving
amy part of their earnings, but
ARE gradually eating into their
reserves, where these were avail
liable, and where there has been
mo reserves they have been in
|creasing their Indebtedness to
maintain a standard of living
and expenditures which was es-
tablished during the hectic per-
iod following the closing of the
world war.
This newspaper has stated
many times-and we again re-
peat-that it is a great thing to
keep "the country on wheels"
as we have been doing, but the
cost is a tremendous one and
when the bill is finally paid-as
lit must be, We shall have learn
led a lesson in finance which will
mot soon be forgotten.-Detroit

EVERY FOURTH PERSON IN
MINNESOTA. HAS A CAR

Motor vehicles registered in
Minnesota up to Sept. Is were
609,2 or one for every fourth
person in the state, according to
figures given out by Secretary of
State Mike Holm. Total license
receipts were $9,686,615. Total
registrations in 1926 were $780,
472 and total receipts $9,773, SAB.
The number OF. cars registered
so far this year is nearly double
the number registered in 1920,
three times as great as in 1917
and 14Z2 times as great as in
1914. With more than three
months of the year left, it is be-
lieved certain that license re-
ceipts for 1926 will exceed S1O,-
900, 700.
The average passenger vehi-
Gle tax, which was $16.4O = in
1925, is $14.54 in 1926. The tax
rate was reduced from 2.75 to
"a per cent, but this has been
partially offset by the fact that
people are buying higher priced
cars. More than $4,000 cars
have been junked or removed
from the state, according to re-
ports made to the secretary of
state, hence nearly $4,000 cars,
mostly new, have been brought
to the state and registered dur
ing the year.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Last week we purchased The
Tomahawk from the B. L. Fair
banks Estate and our intentions
are to continue the publication
OF this newspaper, Aand endeavor
to make it one of the leading
weekly newspapers of the coun-
ty. At present it will remain the
same size as it has been but we
plan on doubling the size and
making it eight pages each issue
in short time.
AS many of the readers of the
Tomahawk know we have pub
lished the Waubun Forum in the
neighboring village of Waubun
the past eight years and live
there. Anyone having business
to transact with the Tomahawk
can either call on or write us IN
Waubun or call at the Toma-
hawk office in White Earth
where they will find MIR. Sweet
representing us. y.
We shall endeavor to hold the
goodwill and patronage of the
present subscribers Of The Tom
ahawk and try to increase the
number of them by publishing a
weekly newspaper that they cam
not afford to be without. If you
like and enjoy reading our news
paper tell others about it. If it
doesn't suit you tell us. Adver-
tise in the TomahaWk; bring us
whatever commercial printing
you may need done, and let us

membership but as issue of en-
the funds not by reason Of tribal
Erolled and recognized members
lof the tribe. AS result of that
decision the citations issued up
son the parents were revoked and
cancelled and the names of a
humber of children that had
been stricken from the rolls were
fe-instated. That ruling has been
uniformally followed down until
ia few months ago.
Recently case arose in which
the present Solicitor for the De-
partment prepared an opinion
in which he held that rights in
and to the funds were limited to-
recognized members of the
tribe" This decision was so rev.
olutionary of the practice that
had heretofore prevailed that
it was not approved by the Sec
retary. Instead the Secretary,
transmitted to-. the ATTORNEY
General of the United States
the two opinions with a request
ito be instructed which one to-
/ follow. The matter is now pend
ing before the Attorney General.
If the ruling contained in the
Patterson opinion should be adj
|thered to it would result in a COM
Lplete revision of the money pay
ment roll. No children born since
1889 could participate in the
distribution of the annuity or
per capita payments, as, no child
born since 1889 can show recog-
milton by the tribe composed of
all the Chippewa Indians in Min
nesota, nor can it show identi-
lfcation and affiliation with such
| "a tribe. The Chippewa people
twell know that they insisted for
| Lyears upon the recognition by
1.-THE department of some kind of
Ltribal government, but the. De-
paTtment consistently refused
to accord them any such receg-
milton. Finally in 1913 a voluR-
tary society known as the Cen
eral Council was organized. The
Department refused to recognize
this council, although Congress
for a few years appropriated
money for it's support. In late
years there have been many vol
iuntary societies called councils
that have sprung up, but the
/ Department has uniformally re
fused to recognize any OF them,

Butter Market Has Been
Unsatisfactory for Week
12,986,OOO Pounds Less Butter In
Storage Than eYar Ago-ZFavor-
able Egg Weather

The weeks trading on butter has
been unsatisfactory, due to varia-
ton in price as reflected by the New
York market. On January 8, New
York extras, 90 score, were quoted
44h cents, while the 18th they
dropped to AZ and closed on the 18th
at 43 cents. Today the market has
taken turn for the better and ex-
tras are quoted at 49, cents.
At Chicago, the market has been
on a more steady basis, and today 80
score standards are quoted AZ cents
and 90 score extras AZ cents, which
is nominal decline, of only u cent
from the price prevailing one week
ago.
Tt is true that production of but
ter throughout the United States is
heavier than in early January last
year, but storage stocks are lighter.
The united States Department of
Agriculture reports the following
quantities of butter, eggs and poultry
in storage.

pected from Buenos Aires. Much of
the Argentine is in bonded warehouse
and held off the market; demand very
light, Siberian also selling slowly"
The open weather prevailing
throughout producing sections is re-
sponsible for a material increase in
the production of fresh eggs. Car
lots have been reaching the larger
markets of the country over a very
wide area, and the increase in the
fresh receipts, coupled with the lorg-
,er storage holdings, have brought
about a very Unsatisfactory condi-
ton in the egg trade, particularly as
far as storage eggs are concerned.
Prices ruling on carlots have been
considerably under the cost Of the
eggs going into storage and will en-
tail heavy loss on the egg trade.
