(NOTE-The following arti-
e,e on the Minnesota Chippewa
Indians was written by Mr.. E. A.
Allen, suerintendent Of the Con-
solidated Chippewa Indian Agen-
cy at Cass Lake. 1t gives an
authOritive account of the Chip
pewas in Minnesota this year of
1927 and coming, as it does, from
Cass Lake, the Chippewa capital
of the nation, il is document of
more than passing interest to
all interested in the Indian and
Indian lOre.).
(By E. A. Allen)
Ever since Henry Wadsworth Long
fellow sang so beautifully the en-.
trancing story of Hiawatha, the Chip.
pewas, living on the North border
of our country from Lake Superior
to the Turtle Mountains of North Da-
kota, have been clothed in garments
of mysterious splendor in the mag
ination of those who still love to think
of the Indian as possessing in mark
ed degree the virtues of heroism,
faithfulness to every trust and a
simple belief in the overruling power
of unseen forces bringing him all he
enjoys, all he suffers. Longfellow's
theme was the union of a Chippewa
youth with Dakota maiden, rare
occurance in the history Of the two
tribes, which were at war with each
other for the possession of the noble
woods and the fair lakes and streams
of Minnesota until the victorious
brothers of Hiawatha pushed the
stubborn and slowing yielding Dako-
tas westward to the plains .compris-
ing the two great states named for
them; and no visitor to this North
Country, where the lakes are smiling,
the streams are sparkling and sing
ing, and the forests are offering their
restful GOODNESS through all the de-
lightful summer, can avoid the con-
Viction that it was land worth
fighting for.
There are more than fourteen
thousand Chippewas now belonging to
Minnesota, between Lake Superior
and the western border of the state.
OF this number about ne-half-prin-
cipally those having much white
blood-are only nominal residents,
their actual places Of abode being in
white communities scattered from
New York to Honolulu.
Most of the full bloods and near
full bloods still cling to the region of
the homes of their ancestors and are
found chiefly in villages near some of
the numerous lakes. Nearly eighteen
hundred belong to the closed reserva-
ton at Red Lake, sixty miles North
west of Cass Lake and forty miles
from Bemidji, under the able super
vision of Superintendent Mark l..
Burns, himself proud in the posses
sion of some Chippewa blood. The
other twelve thousand five hundred
are enrolled in the Consolidated Chip
pewa Agency, located at Cass Lake,
sometimes called 'the capital Of the
Chipewas."
From Cass Lake you travel in an
easterly direction, with detours both

j. s. AIR MAIL LINE
TO MEXICO LOOMS
Postal Officials Negotiate
With Country for
New Service.

Plans for extending the air mail
service of the United States to in
clude deliveries to Canada and
Mexico are under consideration by
the Post Office Department. and have
been broached to the border govern
ments with favorable response The
project is still in n formative stage
and there is a possibility that re-
ciprocal agreements will be nego-
tiated with both countries whereby
their planes would be granted the
right to carry mails across the Amer
lean border.
1t is anticipated that the United
States will be permitted to carry
mails into Canada and Mexico. even
il those countries do not desire to
engage in mail deliveries into the
United States. Post Office Depart
ment officials hold that a tremendous
saving in time would be affected by
this international extension of the
air mail service.
The Post Office Department grad
ually is forming the links which will
become a part of a trunk line air mail
route from Boston to Havana. Bids
will be opened November 19 for Serv-
ice between Atlanta. via Jacksonville,
to Miami. with provision for feeder
route to Tampa. if necessary. Con-
tract air mail service is in operation
between Boston and New York, the
route between New York City and
Atlanta will soon be open, and serv-
ice between Havana and Key West
was inaugurated October 10.
Plans for closing the gap between
Miami and Key West will be taken
up soon.

"On Juno 4. 1927, your bureau

report showing that hotels in Wash

panies the exclusive privilege Of park

BY the Associated Press.
BOMBAY, India, October 24.-Farm
relief is as lively an issue in the vast
Indian Empire as it is in the United
States. The Royal Commission on Ag-
riculture in India has arrived here
from London and faces problems
stranger than those that confront the
champions Of the American farmer.
Three-fourths of the $50, 200, 900 per-
sons in India are dependent on farm
ing for their livelihood. 1t is esti-
mated that two-thirds of the farmers
are in debt and two-thirds of the land
of India is mortgaged.
Mostly Illiterate.
Nine out of every 10 farmers are IL
literate. They rarely own more than
) to 10 acres and are the constant
prey of the village money lender, who
EFFORTS from II to so per cent. in
terest.
Other agricultural ills of India are
due to the ancient belief in reincarna-
ton. which prevents the killing of
cattle. The breeds constantly decline.
and the country is overrun with aged
oxen unfit for work and lean and
shrunken milk cows. The natives
even object to killing the semi-wild
cattle. which nightly ravage the crops.
Wild pigs. jackals. tigers and other
beasts of the jungle also raid the
farms, while a great number Of ma
tives die annually, the victims of vene
nous reptiles. Previous Investigations
of the commission have brought all
this out.
Another problem is due to the prac-
tice of the farmers of dividing their
farms equally among their sons. Thus
