JANUARY 21, 1899.-Referred to the Committee on Indian Affairs and ordered to be printed. DEP A;RTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, W asking ton, January 21, 1899. SIR: I am in receipt of Senate resolution of the 6th of January, 1899, · as follows: Resol'l!ed, That the Secretary of the Interior is hereby directed to furnish to the Senate information derived through reports of special Indian agents and Indian inspectors relating to the estimating of timber and the cutting of dead and fallen timber on the Chippewa Indian reservations in the State of Minnesota, both on the diminished and ceded reservations; together with a copy of the rules and regula-tions adopted for the cutting of dead and fallen timber on said reservations. In response thereto I have the honor to transmit herewith copies of letters and accompanying inclosures from the Commissioner of the General Land Office and the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, to whom the matter was referred for report, embodying such information as the records and files of their respective offices disclose touching the subject of the resolution. The Commissioner of the General Land Office, by the act of January 14, 1889 (25 Stats., 642), is specifically charged with the appraisement and disposal of the ceded lands on the Chippewa Indian Reservation in Minnesota, and under his immediate supervision the regulations prescribed pursuant to the authority conferred by the act of June 7, 1897 (30 Stats., 90), relative to the sale of the dead and down timber on such ceded lands are enforced. 2 TIMBER ON THE CHIPPEWA INDIAN RESERVATIONS. The enforcement of the regulations relative to the cutting and sale of dead and down timber on the diminished reserves of the Chippewa Indian Reservation in Minnesota, promulgatrd under the acts of Feb-ruary 16, 1889 (25 Stats., 673), and of June 7, 1897 (30 Stats., 90), is intrusted to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs. I also transmit herewith, for your information) an excerpt from the last annual report of the Secretary of the Interior giving a succinct history of the law relating to the Chippewa Indian Reservation and the operation thereof since its passage. Very respectfully, The PRESIDENT OF 1.'HE SENATE. c. N. BLISS, Secretary. EXCERPT FROM THE ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1898. THE CHIPPEWA INDIANS OF MINNESOTA. The act of Congress approved January 14, 1889 (25 Stat. L., 642), entitled "An act for the relief and civilization of the Chippewa Indians in the State of Minnesota," provides for the appointment of a commis-sion to negotiate with the different bands or tribes of Chippewa Indians in Minnesota for the complete cession of all these reservations in Min-nesota, except the White Earth and Red Lake reservations, and of so much of the latter as is not required for allotments to the Indians; the taking of a census and the removal of all the Indians in Minnesota, except those on Red Lake Heservation, to the White Earth Reservation; the allotment of lands to Red Lake Indians on Red Lake Reservation, and allotmt>nt of lands to all other Indians on Whit,e Earth. It further provides for survey under supervision of the Commissioner of General Land Office of all ceded lands; the appointment of experienced examiners of standing or growing pine timber thereon, at a compensation of not more than $6 per day, including all expenses, to determine the cash value thereof, fixing the minimum of such valuation at $3 per 1,000 feet, board measure, of pine lumber, and for reappraisement of lands in case of rejection by the Secretary of the Interior of previous appraisement. It further provides for sale, after public notice, of pine land and agri-cultural lands and permits of entry of latter under homestead law at $1.25 per acre, payable in five equal annual payments, and after five years' occupancy of lands, etc. It also provide~ that the proceeds of sales oflands shall, after deducting all expenses of ceusus, obtaining cession, making removal and allot-ments, and completion of surveys and appraisals, be deposited in the Treasury to the credit of the Chippewa Indians in Minnesota, as a per-manent fund, to draw interest at the rate of 5 per cent per annum, payable annually, for the period of fifty years, after the making of allotments, one-third of such interest payable in cash to Indians, and one-fourth to be expended under the supervision of the Secretary of the Interior in establishing and maintaining a system of free schools among the Indians, and at the expiration of the period specified the permanent fund to be divided and paid to all the Chippewa Indians. It further pro-vides that Congress may, for the purpose of promoting civi1i7,ation and self-support among Indians, advance a portion of such principal sum, not exceeding 5 per cent thereof; also that the United States shall advance TIMBER ON THE CHIPPEWA INDIAN RESERVATIONS. 3 . as such 5 per cent interest on the permanent fund the sum of $90,000 annually until the permanent fmtd (exclusive of the amounts to be reimbursed the Government) shall equal or exceed the sum of $3,000,000, less any interest that may in the meantime accrue from accumulations of the permanent fund, payments of such interest to be made yearly in advance, three-fourths, in the discretion of the Secretary of the Interior, during first five years to be expended in procuring live stock, teams, farming implements, and seed for such of the Indians, to the extent of their shares, as are fit and desire to engage in farming, and the bal-ance in cash. It further provides that whenever the permanent fund exceeds the sum of $3,000,000 the United States shaH be fully reim-bursed out of such excees for all advances of interest made or contem-plated and other expenses incurred under the act. One hundred and fifty thousand dollars was appropriated to carry it into effect. The commissioners appointed February 36, 1889, pursuant to the provisions of this act entered at once upon their duties of negotiating with the Indians, and on March 4-, 1890, the agreement concluded by them with tlte Indians for the cession of their lands, etc., was approved by the President and transmitted to Congress. Subsequently a census was taken, surveys of the land were entered upon, and in August of 1891 examiners of the pine lands were appointed. The Commission began the work of making allotments on the \Vhite Earth Reservation December 9, 1891; their progre~s, however, was necessarily slow, owing to the disinclination of the Indians to accept allotments, etc., and up to September 1,1893, allotments of 80 acres each had been made at the White Earth Reservation to 3,209 Indians, and 643 Indians were removed to the White Earth Reservation, and 85 others, after their removal, returned to their former homes. In May of 1893 a new corps of Chippewa timber examiners were appointed. In the A.nnual Report of the Secretary of the Interior for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1894, it is stated of these examiners and the work intrusted to them that-During the first year of their work under the present administration they exam-ined 609,000 acres, while the former corps examined 435,000 in fourteen months. There remains about 1,900,000 acres to be examined, which, at the rate established by the present corps, will take over three years from this time. The rate of progress will, however, largely depend upon whether the lands are heavily or sparsely timbered. The law as it now stands provides for the sale of the timber only after all of the land shall have been surveyed, examined, and appraised, and seems also to contem-plate the offering of the entire body of land at one time and })lace. There exists a present demand for the timber. While the timber continues in the possession of the Government it is liable to injury at any time from depredations of trespassers, acci-dental and intentional fires, from storms, and perhaps other occurrences. A large portion of the pine lands, comprising considerably more than 100,000 acres, have already been surveyed, examined, and segregatecl, and might be offered for sale without delay, if there were legal authority for so doing. Such authority is presente(l in H. R. bill 5103. It has passed the Honse, and it is earnestly to be desired that it speedily pass the Senate. By act of Congress, approved February 26, 1896 (29 Stat. L., 17), the act relating to the cession of the Chippewa lands, approved January 14, 1889 (25 Stat. L., 642), was amended so as to provide that whenever and as often as the survey, examination, and appraisal of 100,000 acres of pine lands, or of a less quantity, in the discretion of the Secretary of the Interior, have been made, the portion so surveyed, examined, and appraised shall be proclaimed as in market and offered for sale, etc. The first offering, therefore, of pine lauds in the Chippewa Reserva-tion in Minnesota, undel" this legislation, took place in July, 1896, at which time 115,342.78 acres, containing 225,977,000 feet of pine, valued at $686,333, were offered, and 65,038.33 acres, containing 118,224,000 4 TIMBER ON THE CHIPPEWA I~DIAN RESERVATIONS. feet, valued at $369,282.34, were sold, leaving 50,304.45 acres, containing 107,753,000 feet, valued at $317,050.66, unsold and subject to private sale for cash at the appraised value. Complaint having been made to my immediate predecessor of incom-petency and mismanagement on the part of the then employed corps of Uhippewa examiners, consisting of 27 men, 13 of whom were from Minnesota and 14 from other States that have no timber of the same character as that to be examined in Minnesota, United States Indian Inspector J. George Wright was, on the 20th of October, 1896, directed to make an investigation of the matter, and on December 31,1896, he reported inexperience and carelessness on the part of said corps, and that on an examination of 85 tracts made by him, and experts under him, much more pine was found than was reported by the examiners. In consequence of this report, all of the unsold pine land (50,304.45 acres) was withdrawn from sale on January 4, 1897, and the timber examiners relieved from duty. Of the amount of land so withdrawn, 41,843.44 acres were, on August 3, 1897, ordered reexamined, leaving 8,460.01 acres, containing 12,133,000 feet of pine, valued at $36,399, subject to private sale for cash at the appraised value. In May, 1896, 1,038,888.64 acres of agricultural lands were opened to settlement and entry. Of this amount, 116,461.90 acres were withdrawn from settlement and entry August 3, 1897, on account of the unrelia-bility of the previous examination thereof, and ordered reexamined, leaving 922,426.74 acres, which, at the price fixed by the law, were valued at $1,153,033.42. . The reexaminations ordered, as well as new examinations, were made by a board of examiners selected with great care in August, 1897, of competent men who were not on previous boards, and who were from timber regions, experienced in estimating timber, and accustomed to the climate in the vicinity of this land. This board consists of 23 men, 17 of whom are from Minnesota, specially versed in the business of examining timber and acquainted with the country and conditions of the timber; the others were individually recommended as being well versed in the examination of timber and from States where timber similar in character to that to be examined existed in large quantities. Of the agricultural lands reexamined by this corps, 4,706.17 acres were found to contain enough timber to be classed as pine lands, and they were raised to such class, their valuation thereby being consider-ably enhanced. In August, 1898, 61,151.57 acres, including lands reexamined and lands examined for the first time, containing 129,379 thousand feet, valued at $391,975.86, were offered for sale, and of this amount 21,507.15 acres were sold for $173,969.37, leaving 39,644.42 acres subject to private sale for cash at the appraised value. On about 38,960 acres reexamined the present corps of examiners found 106,993 thousand feet of pine, as against 92,353 thousand feet found by former corps of examiners, which represents a saving of $43,920 to the Indians. There were also opened to entry on October 5, 1898, 367,964.09 acres of agricultural lands on the Red Lake Reservation, which, at the price fixed by the act of 1889, will amount to $459,617.61. The aggregate acreage of Chippewa pine and agricultural lands to be sold originally was 2,984,297 .98, exclusive of the land allotted to the Indians. There have been disposed of to date 86,545.48 acres of pine lands and 320,634.01 acres of agricultural lands, aggregating 407,179.49 acres. The total amount received from the sale of pine and agricul-TIMBER ON THE CHIPPEWA INDIAN RESERVATIONS. 5 turallands is, approximately, $659,913.41, which has been deposited in the Treasury to the credit of the Indians, as required by law. Of the agricultural lands sold, 320,634.()1 acres were embraced in homestead entries, on which there are due $400,543.44. Under the act of January 14, 1899, providing for the cession of these Uhippewa lands, etc., there have been appropriated by Congress up to the present time, as an ad vance to the Ohippewa Indians, the following sums, to wit: For negotiating for cession and relinquishment, making census, etc . __ . _. As advance interest (at $90,000 per annum) ............................. . Of the permanent fund, for civilization and self-suppo1·t .. ____ ..... _ ..... . For surveying, appraising, and allotting.-- __ .. -- ...... -- .... -- ......... . $60,000 810,000 815,559 375,000 2,060,559 Under the terms of the act of January 14,1889, this amount appears to be reimbursable to the United States. From the statement of the lands belonging to these Indians, hereto appended (Exhibit C), it will ue seen that the approximate value of all the lands ceded by the Indians aggre-gates $5,273,010.72. Upon the disposal of all such lauds it is doubtful whether compliance with the requirements of this act regarding the reimbursement of moneys advanced by the United States would impose any very great hardship on the Indians. No complaints have been made of the undervaluation of timber by ' the present corps of examiners. They have performed their work more expeditiously than did the former board, and have, by reason of their experience, discovered more timber. Under authority contained in the act of June 7,1897 (30 Stat. L., 90), which empowered me to authorize the Indians on the reservation to fell, cut, remove, or otherwise dispose of all the dead and down timber thereon, a set of logging regulations was formulated under which fifty contracts were let to the Indians for logging such dead and down tim-ber, embracing 30 sections of land in the White Earth Reservation, 39 in the Red Lake Reservation, 260 in the Leech Lake, Winibigoshish, and Oass Lake reservations. Fifty-five million feet of dead and down timber wer~cut and banked by the Indians under these contracts, producing, in the aggregate, $264,160.41. This amount of money was paid to the Indian agent, who, after deducting 15 per cent thereof for the use of all the Chippewa Indians, disbursed for the Indian contractor, in the manner hereinafter indicated, any sums due for supplies, labor, etc., incurred by him in the execution of the work. The 15 per cent referred to was deducted from the aggregate value of all the contracts on account of stumpage and other expenses, and a greater part thereof has been deposited in the Treasury to the credit of the Chippewa Indians as the result of the logging operations on the ceded lands. Logging operations similar in character have been conducted, under the supervision of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, on the White Earth and the Red Lake diminished reservations, resulting in the cut-ting of dead and down timber, under contract with the Indians, aggre-gating in value $110,596.32, of which amount 10 per cent was deducted for stumpage charges and deposited to the credit of the Chippewa Indians of Minnesota. The total amount of money collected on account of stumpage under these Indian logging contracts on both the ceded lands and the diminished reservations is $46,246.38. This, together with sums from similar sources, is applicable for per capita payments among all the Indians. The regulations promulgated governing the performance of this work 6 TIMBER ON THE CHIPPEWA INDIAN RESERVATIONS . . and the contracts issued thereunder contemplated the payment of all moneys for such logging by the Indian contractor to the Indian agent at White Earth Agency, he to deduct therefrom 15 per cent in the case of the ceded lands and 10 per cent in the case of the diminished reserve for the benefit of all the Chippewa Indians, less the expense of adver-tising sale of logs, superintendence, etc., the balance remaining under the contract to be paid to persons advancing money and supplies to the Indian contractor, the scalers of logs, foremen, teamsters, cooks, etc., laborers of the loggers, and any amount remaining under the contract to the Indian contractor, thereby insuring the employment of many Indians during the winter season a11d the providing, in addition, of a reserve fund for the benefit of all the Chippewas from timber hereto-fore regarded as worthless. In but one instance was the cutting of green timber discovered, and thereupon the tools of the loggers were immediately seized, and all opera-tions by the parties were stopped, and they were compelled to pay, at the Government price, for the green timber cut. The result of the dead and d'Own timber logging operations on the reservations during the year clearly indicates the wisdom of the carry-ing on of the work by the Indian contractors under the regulations pre-scribed, as being in the interest of the Indians. Logging operations on this reserve were discontinued some time ago, but the Indians recently petitioned for a resumption of the work; these petitions will receive favorable consideration, the work to progress, how-ever, under the same restrictions as heretofore. The Chippewa commissioner, D. S. Hall, has continued his work of allotting lauds to the Chippewas in Minnesota and of relliOVing to vVhite Earth Reservation such Indians as could be induced to make their homes there. During the year 565 allotments of 80 acres each have been made, and changes have been made in the allotments previously assigned Indians to the number of 121. The Indians removed to White Earth Reservation are 30 Leech Lake Pillagers,5 White Oak Points, and 24 Mille Lacs. Seven houses, costing $75 each, have been built for the removed Indians, and 5 others are in process of erection. Oonsiderable effort has been made to induce the Mille Lac Chippewas to go to White Earth, but with meager success. The commissioner expresses the hope, however, that quite a number will remove there this fall. The expenditures made by the commission between September 1, 1897, and August 31,1898, amounted to $14,017.49. TROUBLES '\YITH CHIPPEWAS AT BEAR ISLAND ON LEECH LAKE. In September last, it having been reported to the Department that there was likely to be trouble at Leech Lake, Minnesota, between~he Pillager Indians, one of the bands of the Uhippewas, and whites, Agent Sutherland and Inspector Tinker were directed to investigate the matter and report by wire, and the honorable Secretary of War was requested to send troops to Leech Lake to preserve peace and proteet life and property. The matter was also brought to the attention of the honorable Attorney-General, with suggestion that the United States attorney for Minnesota put himself in communication with the inspector and agent. On October 1, 1898, Agent Sutherland reported that he found the trouble with the'rndians was caused by a deputy United States marshal, who arrested an Indian on a warrant; that the deputy was overpowered by the Indians, and the prisoner was taken away from him. TIMBER ON THE CHIPPEWA INDIAN RESERVATIONS. 7 On October 3 Inspector Tinker reported the arrival of troops, and that Indians were gathering in all the arms possible, and that they refused to surrender the guilty parties. On October 5 the Indians, who had concentrated on Bear Island, in Leech Lake, fired upon the troops, and a battle was fought, in which M~jor Wilkinson and 6 soldiers were kil1ed and 13 soldiers and 1 Indian policeman were wounded. Inspector Tinker and United States Deputy Marshal Shehan were also wounded. On the 6th of October reenforcements arrived, and the following day a council was held by Ag·ent Sutherland with the Indians, in which it was stated that they desired peace. In view of the situation, I directed the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to proceed to White Earth and confer with the Indians. His efforts were successful, and the Indians surrendered. The origin of the trouble with the Indians is now under investigation by this Department and the honorable the Attorney-General.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of An~erica in Oongrefis assembled, That the President of the United States may, from year to year, in his discretion, under such regulations as he may prescribe, authorize the Indians resiuing on reservations or allotments, the fee to which remains in the United States, to fell, cut, remove, sell, or otherwise dispose of the deau timber, stand-ing or fallen, on such reservation or allotment for the sole benefit of such Indian or lndians. But whenever there is reasonable cause to believe that such timber has been killed, burned, girdled, or otherwise injured for the purpose of securing its sale under this act, then in that case such authority shall not be granted. Approved, February 16, 1889. The Secretary of the Interior may, in his discretion, from year to year, under such regulations as he may prescribe, authorize the Indians residing on any Indian reser-vation in the State of Minnesota, whether the same has been allotted in severalty or is still unallotted, to fell, cut, remove, sell, or otherwise dispose of the dead tim-ber, standing or fallen, on such reservation or any part thereof for the sole benefit of such Indians; and he may also in like manner authorize the Chippewa Indians of Minnesota who have any interest or right in the proceeds derived from the sales of ceded Indian lands or the timber growing thereon, whereof the fee is still in the United States, to fell, cut, remove, sell, or otherwise dispose of the dead timber, 8 TIMBER ON THE CHIPPEWA INDIAN RESERVATIONS. standing or fallen, on such ceded land. But whenever there is reason to believe that such dead timber in either case has been killed, burned, girdled, or otherwise injnrea for the purpose of securing its sale under this act, then in that case such authority shall not be granted. Approved June 7, 1897 (30 Stat., 90). REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE REGARDING THE CEDED CHIPPEWA INDIAN LANDS. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, GENERAL LAND OFFICE, Washington, D. G., January 10, 189.9. SIR: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt, by your reference, "for immediate consideration and report in duplicate, and return of papers, on so much of resolution as applies to ceded Chippewa lands in Minnesota, and with direction to forward a~ a part of his report the petition for and protests against said logging operations on file in his office," of Senate resolution dated January 6, 1899, directing you "to furnish the Senate information desired through reports of special Indian agents and· Indian inspectors relating to the estimation of timber and the cutting of dead and fallen timber on the Chippewa Indian reserva-tions in the State of Minnesota, both on the diminished and ceded res-ervations; together with a copy of the rules and regulations adopted for the cutting of dead and fallen timber on said reservations." In reply I have the honor to report tbat prior to October 13, 1898, no protest, petition, or objection was made to the examination by the present corps of examiners of the Chippewa ceded lands in Minnesota, under the act of January 14, 1889 (25 Stat., 642), except a letter from Mr. W. F. Campbell, attorney for the Mississippi Chippewas, dated December 29, 1897, and transmitted to you with my letter of February 2, 1898, in which Mr. Campbell stated that it was the desire of the Indians to have the said act of 1889 amended so as to permit the dis-posal of the pine on the remaining portion of the reservation under regulations similar to the regulations then in force for the disposal of dead and down timber on said ceded portions of the reservation. Mr. Campbell also in that letter expressed an opinion that the work of the present corps of examiners would be no more satisfactory than that of the former ones. It was stated in my said letter to you that the examiners had been selected with great care and with special reference to their fitness for the work in which they were engaged; that I had no reason to doubt their efficiency, and that most excellent results were promised. Since that time a comparison has been made of the work of said examiners with that of previous boards on land examined by both boards, and it has been found that they found more timber and have performed their work more expeditiously, and I will say that Mr. Campbell has ver-bally, to this office, repeatedly expressed his satisfaction and com-mendation of the work of the board, and spoken in the highest terms of the chief examiner, Mr. Seelye. On January 22, 1898, this office received minutes of a council held at Leech Lake by the Pillager Indians, copy of which is hereto attached, as is also my letter of March 28, 1898, to yourself, commenting upon the same and expressing satisfacUon of the result of last year's logging operations. I also attach hereto a copy of a statement made by this office, which is practically correct, showing the result of the logging TIMBER ON THE CHIPPEWA INDIAN RESERVATIONS. 9 operations for last season, and also a copy of a letter received from Chief White Cloud, Chief Mahsh ege shij, and others, August 6, 189R, dated August 2, 1898 (see Exhibit A); and having been satisfied that they had resulted beneficially to the Indians of said reservations, on August 26, 1898, the new regulations were provided for the present season, amending the former regulations so as to provide for the pay-ment of Indian loggers first in order of distribution of the proceeds, and to increase the amount to be deducted for the Indian fund from 15 per cent to an arbitrary amount of $2 per thousand feet for Norway and $3 per thousand feet for white pine; otherwise the regulations were the same as for last season. Copy of said regulations inclosed. At that time an objection bad been filed against said logging opera-tions by certain Pillager Indians, dated July 26, 1898, against allowing anyone outside of their band to go upon the Leech Lake Reservation and cut dead and Jown timber. This letter was transmitted to this office by the honorable Commis-sioner of Indian Affairs, together with his acknowledgment of the same to his Indian agent at White Earth, in which he said that the Indians living on the land formerly embraced in the Leech Lake Reservation had no more interest therein, except such as might be allotted to indi-viduals in severalty, than the other Chippewa Indians of the State of Minnesota, and that every Indian in :Minnesota coming under that description was equally entitled with the Leech Lake Indians in the interest of the dead and down timber that can be taken from such land. Copies of the said petition and letters are herewith inclosed, also a copy of my letter of August 16, 1898, to Chief N e gon e vin ais et al., Leech Lake, Minnesota, suggesting to them that the Pillager Indians might, by their own efforts, secure all logging privileges on their reser-vation, to the exclusion of outsiders, by making early selections of land containing timber and entering into contracts with responsible parties at the commencement of the logging season, etc. (See Exhibit B.) On September ~8 this office received a letter from Hon. L. Fletcher, inclosing an unsigned communication commenting upon the operations of the dead and down timber act, and objecting to the same. In reply thereto, on October 3, 1898, this office wrote Mr. Fletcher that it felt compelled to enforce the law, as there was no evidence of fraud, injustice, or carelessness in the management of the business. Copies of said letter and of my letter, herewith inclosed, marked "Exhibit 0." It having been alleged in certain newspapers, published in Minnesota, that the cause of the recent Indian outbreak was attributable to the management of tlle logging operations on the dead and down timber on the ceded lands of the Chippewa Indian reservations in Minnesota, on October 13, 1898, I selected Mr. Frank J. Parke, a special agent of this office, wllo was the agent who assisted Mr. J. George Wright, Indian inspector, in his investigation of the work done by the board of examiners under my predecessor, and who was, therefore, specially conversant with the condition of the reservation, the timber, and the Indians, and Mr. H. H. Schwartz, also a special agent of this office at that time and date in Wisconsin,-near the land in question, acquainted with the conditions and people of the vicinity, both agents being law-yers of considerable experience and capacity, and instructed them to proceed at once to Walker, Minn., and confer with the honorable Com-missioner of Indian Affairs relative to an investigation to be made by them, after consultation with said Commissioner, relative to the logging· of dead and down timber on tLe ceded lands of Ohippewa reserva,tions , 10 TIMBER ON THE CHIPPEWA INDIAN RESERVATIONS. in Minnesota. A copy of the letter sent to Mr. Parke on that date is herQwith inclosed, marked "Exhibit D." On October 20, 1898, I transmitted a copy of a letter of the honor-able Acting Secretary of the Interior, dated October 4:, 1898, to J. W. Zevely, special inspector White Earth Agency, Detroit, Minn., giving him certain instructions as to investigation therein directed relative to the logging of said dead and down timber, to said Special Agents Parke and Schwartz, and instructed them to follow the terms of the honorable Acting Secretary's letters of October 4 and 18. Uopies of said letters and of my letter are hereto attached, marked "Exhibit E." Further instructions were sent to Mr. Schwartz December 1, 1898, a copy of which is herewith inclosed, marked "Exhibit F." On December 8, 1898, Special Agents Parke and Schwartz made a full report of their investigation (a copy of which is hereto attached, marked ''Exhibit G" ), and stated that the Indian trouble was not the result of the logging operations. They reported that there were some ill-founded objections to the logging operations on the part of individ-ual Pillager Indians, but that the real causes of the outbreak had been growing and augmenting for the past ff the General Lana Office. The net proceeds remaining shall be divided and paid as follows: (1) He shall pay the scalers of such logs the amount due on the part of the Indian logg1~r . (:3) He shall pay the laborers of the logger, including foremen, blacksmiths, teamsters, filers, clerks, and cooks, any unpaid balance which may be due them under their contract for labor performed in the cutting or delivery or banking of such logs. (3) He shall pay the party or parties furnishing the advances under the contract authorized in section 9 to the logger who delivered said logs. (4) He shall pay to the logger or contractor who banked such logs any part re-maining of the amount to be paid under his contract. Ninth. Any logging Indian, on a proper showing of his inability to furnish Lis logging outfit, or to sustain himself or his family dnring the logging operations, may receive advances of goods or cash from any party with whom he may contract, which contract shall first be approved by the Indian agent to such limit as the Indian agent may fix, and such advances shall be paid Ly the Indian agent to the party making the same from the amount to which such Indian is entitled for his logging work. Tenth. The Commissioner of the General Land Office shall have power to pre-scribe such rules and regulations not inconsistent with these regulations as he may deem proper from time to time for the more efficient prosecution of the logging operations, and to thoroughly protect the interests of the Indians and the Govern-ment in the premises.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, OFFICE OF INDIAN AFFAIRS, Washington, A ·ugust 81 1898. JorrN H. SuTHERLAND, Esq., Unitecl States lnclian Agent, White Earth Agency, Minn. SIR: I arn in receipt, by your reference, of a communication dateu July 30, 1898, from the chiefs and headmen of the Indians living on what was formerly the Leech Lake Heservation in Minnesota, in which they express the desire to cut the dead and down timber on said reservation, and that outsiders not living on the reservation be prohibited from cutting any of said timber. In reply you are informed that the Indians living on the lands formerly embraced in the Leech Lake Reservation have no more interest in those lands, except such as may be allotted to individuals in severalty, than tlte other Chippewa Indians in the State of Minnesota. Said lands were ceded under the act of 1889 (25 Stats., 642), to be sold after the appraisement of the timber for the benefit of all the Chippewas of Minnesota, and every Indian in Minnesota coming under that description is equally entitled with the Leech Lake Band in the interest in the dead timber that can be taken from said lands. This office, as you are aware, does not have control of the sale of timber on the ceded Chippewa lands in Minnesota, and the communication referred by you from the Leech Lake Indians has, together with a copy of this letter, been transmitted to the Commissioner of the General Land Office for his information. Very respectfully, W. A. JONES, Comrnissione1·. 24 TIMBER ON THE CHIPPEWA INDIAN RESERVATIONS. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, GENl<~RAL LAND OFFICE, Chief NE GON E VIN AIS, ET AL., Wash·ington, D. C., Augu,st 16, 1898. Leech Lake, Minn. (In care of Mr. John H. Sutherland, United States Indian agent.) GENTLEMEN: I am in receipt, by reference from the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, of your communication of July 26, 1898, in which you state that the Indians on Leech Lake Heservation desire to cut dead and down timber on their own reservation and do not want anyone who belongs outside of the Pillager Band to come on that reservation and cut the dead and down timber, and you ask that if any outsider should send an application to cut timber on said reservation that the application be returned to the sender. In reply I have to state, so far as the ceded portion of the reservation is concerned, that the law provides for the cutting of the dead and down timber on the Chippewa reservations by the Indians generally for their benefit, not specifying that any par-ticular band shall cut timber on a particular reservation to the exclusion of other bands: hence this office has no authority t,o set apart the ceded portions of the Leech Lake Re!:!ervation as lands on which only the Pillager Band of Indians can cut the logs. I ha.ve to suggest, however, that the Pillager Indians may by their own efforts secure all logging privileges on their reservation, to the exclusion of out-siders, by making early selection of the lands containing timber, entering into con-tracts with responsible parties, and at the commencement of the logging season making applications to conduct logging operations on the lands selected. Very respectfully, F. W. MONDELL, .doting C01nrniss·ioner. EXHIBI'l' c. MINNEAPOLIS, September 23, 1898. Hon. BINGER HERMANN. MY DEAR SIR: I herewith inclose, for your information and consideration, a copy of a communication I have received in regard to the dead and down timber that you are so familiar with. I am having many protests in regard to the continuation of cutting this timber, as they claim it is a great waste of Government timber and mak-ing almost certain destruction of adjacent forests-not only of Government timber but that of private parties-as when the woods are full of limbs and brush that is dry forest fires are :mre to follow (all of this is a very reasonable conclusion); so I hope you will discontinue the cutting of dead and down timber, as last winter's work cleaned up all that was really going to waste, as I understand. Yours truly, L. FLETCHER. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., Septe•rnber 20, 1898. Hon. LOREN FLETCHER, Hou.se of Rep1·esentatives, Washington, D. C. DEAR SIR: The writer desires to call your attention to the matter of cutting the so-called "dead and down" timber on the Indian reservation in Minnesota during the coming winter. Last winter there was cut, under the act providing for the cut-ting of dead and down timber on the Indian reservation, about 50,000,000 feet of pine, and while the regulations in regard to the employment of Indian labor were almost entirely ignored, there was cut, outside of the large number of boom sticks, a very limited amount of actually green white pine. The operations last winter cleaned out all the compact or solid bodies of actually dead and down tim her, and the dead timber or windfalls now left consist of scattered trees here and there in exceeenient place without regard to kind of timber. Eighth. Is it true that loggers, when selecting green trees for boom sticks, and after a tree was felled and found partly defective, t~y were permitted to take the green or sound parts and class it with dead and down timber' There was only one classification of dead and down timber. If any logs were hauled of this kind, they were so classified. Ninth. Did you receive any complaints in reference to the cutting of green timber, and we're such charges investigated; and if so, what action was taken by you in reference thereto f On two occasions reports were made; both were investigated; one was found to be without foundation in fact; one camp was closed and after was permitted to reopen upon payment of $5 per thousand for the green pine cut. The correspond-ence in this case is in the hands of the Department. Very respectfully submitted. R. H. RosA, Superintendent of Logging Chippewa Ceded Lands. Second. As to the existence of dead and down timber in sufficient quantities to be logged and the advisability of logging the same this season. We made a personal examination of a large part of the land that has been exam-ined by the assistant superintendents of logging, classed as dead and down timber, and for which applications have been made to log this winter, and we found in every instance that from 50 to 75 per cent of the timber on each of these tracts was either dead or dead and down. The various legal subdivisions this year classed for cutting permit and examined by us show from 50 to 75 per cent of the timber dead and of a character that unless cut this or next year it will be a total loss to the Indians. Third. As to what per cent of Indians were employed as laborers during the past season, and as to their willingness to work, availability during the present season, and also whether any green timber was cut la,st year by those logging the dead and down timber. It is impossible to state exactly wha,t per cent of Indians were employed, as we could not get statements from all the loggers, and the Indians' names upon t.he time books are usually their English names, ma.king it impossible to tell which man was an Indian and which W3JS not. (See Exhibits E, F, N, 0, P, R.) But, judging from the list that we have been able to obtain, we should say that 30 per cent were Indians. It is complained, however, by all of the foremen who bad charge of the labor in the camps, with whom we talked, that the Indians were very irregular, and the labor unsatisfactory, for the reasons that they would work only for short periods at a time, and then when. it suited them. The Indians from other parts of the reservation, especially those from the Fond du Lac Reservation, seem to be better and more valuable as laborers than those directly belonging to the Leech Lake. Much allowance must be made for these Indians, as they have bad but little opportunity to engage in this class of work. But from the information obtained they seem to be willing and anxious to work, at least for short periods. They would frequently draw what was due them in supplies and provision, and go to their families and return at their pleasure. In this connection it can be stated that instructions were given to the f@remen in all the logging camps on the reservation that whenever Indians applied for work they were to be given work in every case and properly treated; and, in fact, they were better treated and received better pay than the more skilled white laborers, who received on an average about $18 per month, while the Indians in every case received one dollar per day. It was a part TIMBER ON THE CHIPPEWA INDIAN RESERVATIONS. 39 of the instructions of the superintendent of logging, Mr. Rosa, to his assistants, to see in their persona] investigations of the camp that the Indians were employed, and that they were properly cared for, and report to him any case that they could hear of where the Indian had been refused work or had been improperly treated. In this connection we call your attention to the following letter by Mr. Rosa: WHITE EARTH AGENCY, MINN., Novetnbm· 3, 1898t Mr. J. F. PARKE, Special Agent, United States Land Office. SIR: In answer to your further communication regarding the employment of Indian labor, I have to say that, on December 6, 1897, application having been made for Indian labor for the different camps, I sent the following letter to the chiefs and head men (see Letter book No.1, p.150): WHITE EARTH, Decernber 5, 1897. To Pin de gay ge shig, Twin Lake; Mah eeng attnce, Twin Lake; Wah bone quod, White Earth; Joseph Ca1·ette, White Earth; Nun ay en ne nee, Ponsford; Mah gah ke shig, Beau,lieu; Kay dug e gon anse, Ponsford. DEAR SIR: I am ordered by the honorable Commissioner of the General Land Office to endeavor to secure Indian labor for the different camps (logging) on the Chippewa ceded lands·. ·would you kindly put me in communication with any Indian desiring work, or send them to me, so that I may advise them where work may be found. R. H. RosA. The same or similar letters were sent out by the assistant superintendents, and their answers, as well as my own, were transmitted to the Department in my report made out March 10, 1898, regarding the employment. Very respectfully, R. H. RosA, Superintendent Logging, Chippewa Ceded Lands. We went over and personally examined a great part of the cutting of last year. We found that on each of the descriptions green timber had been cut, but in many instances we counted the trees and found that no violation of the law had been committed, and that all of the loggers confined themselves to the amount that they were p ermitted to cut under the rules and regulations governing the cutting, which was 65 trees to each 1,000,000 feet. Where it was found necessary on acc~unt of the drive being a long one, and over r~mgh lakes, a double boom was allowed, which was 130 trees for each mi1lion feet. We found that in every instance the trees selected and cut for boom sticks were the largest and best trees that could be fom1d on the tract where the logging was being done. This boom allowance, as inserted in the contract, was subject to abuse, and was the most objectionable feature of logging under this system, and is the cause of all complaints that have been made by persons who have seen these logs after they were takeu from the woods, and who did not know the circumstances under which they were cut, and of course could give eye-witness testimony to the fact that much green timber had been cut under this system, and would ma.ke these assertions with-out going to the trouble of ascertaining the fact that each of these loggers were permitted under the system to cut so many green trees. If the logging is continued during the present season, we recommend that this clause in the contracts be modified, because it is well known that on almost every tract there is sufficient green down timber to supply all the boom sticks that will be necessary. For instance, J. M. Nevers, of Brainerd, Minn., logged under permit of Ed. Warren, an Indian mixed blood of White Earth, 5,296,670 feet. Mr. Parke per-sonally examined a great part of this cutting, accompanied by Mr. Nevers, and found that the trees had nearly an been blown down by heavy windstorms; that the timber was still green at the time it was cut. Mr. Parke called the attention of Mr. Nevers to the fact that, notwithstanding that the greater part of the timber that he was permitted to cut was dowu and green timber, he had also cut standing green timber for boomage, and any of the down timber would have answered for the same purpose just as well. He said, "Yes, that is true, but the contracts as to dead and down timber made no distinction, and I took what I was permittt~d to tnke under the contract." It was in this instance about 345 green trees, and of course the largest and best trees that could be found, (See also Exhibits E, :E'.) vVe snggest that the boom-stick clause in the contracts be so worded that no live green timber be cut for boom sticks where there is green windfalls or green :fire-killed timber available; that where no such timber is available the assistant super-intendent of logging shall upon request mark and designate trees to be cut for boomage sufficient to meet the necessity, in no case to exceed a certain per cent to the million feet. 40 TIMBER ON THE CHIPPEWA INDIAN RESERVATIONS. In our personal examinations we did not discover any abuses in this respect out-side of what the contract permitted. Fourth. Whether the system in vogue under the present instructions is advisable and proper. The general proposition to save to the Indian the value of the dead and wasting timber pending the sale of their pine is no doubt a wise one. 'There is much dead and wasting pine. It must be logged at once or not at all. But a cut this winter as large as that of last season-say, 50,000,000-would so far cull out the compact bodies of dead pine as to make further operations under the act not advisable, for this reason: It is the unvarying rule that fires run through old cuttings and slash-ings sooner or later. Where the cutting is compact and clean there is nothing of value to burn. But if there be green trees standing about the area of cutting they will be destroyed, or if small strips of green trees are left between two slashings they will also be de-stroyed. This is all additional to the usual forest-fire risk. After another season cut any further logging operations would be so scattered among green timber as to produce, in our opinion, greater loss from injury to green timber than profit from sale of the dead timber. And while there will be dead timber that ought to be saved by logging it after this season, it could be best saved by an amendment to the act permitting both green and dead to be cut upon any description containing, say, 40 per cent merchantable dead timber. Thus nothing would be left upon such descrip-tion for fire to run over and destroy. And in the meantime the sale of the pine should be expedited to the end that loss and risk and other expenses may be trans-ferred from the Government and Indian to the buyer. A speedy sale of this pine would also put the care of the timber upon lumbermen and relieve the Government from duties hardly governmental. The rules for this season should be amended as to boom sticks and should clothe someone with power to pass upon the justice and correctness of the supply and labor bills charged the Indian filer by his purchaser and creditor, the necessity for which will appear under the next question. Fifth. Whether or not the Indians are satisfied with the work of the past season. If not, the cause of their dissatisfaction. Generally speaking, those full-bloods who have adopted the ways of civilization and practically all of the half-breeds are satisfied. These people say the young Plen who would work all earned $1 per day last winter at the camps; that the Indians received $10 a ton for their wild hay in the stack, received good pay for their meat, fish, and produce, and that many of the young men are learning their first lesson in industry, and that the work they do is for that reason worth vastly more to the tribe than the wage they earn. Some of these advocates, however, had and have logging permits, and hence are charged with pleading their own case. On the other hand, there is a very considerable and important element among the full-bloods who are dissatisfied, and who assign various reasons for their dissatis-faction. Some of these reasons have merit, some have no foundation in fact. Before coming to their specific reasons for dissatisfaction it should be said that these old chiefs and old men generally have bad firmly grounded into their heads that the "Menominee system" is the solution of their logging problem. The honor-able Commissioner of Indian Affairs spoke favorably of that system while at Walker, Minn., and Mr. Gus. H. Beauleau, of the Beauleau Indian claim agency, has spent considerable time among these Indians during and since the trouble advocating a change in the law to the "Menominee system with suitable amendments." These Indians do not know what is the Menominee system. They have, however, deter-mined to send a delegation to Washington, D. C., this winter to secure some legis-lation, and have employed Mr. Beaulean to accompany them on that mission. The advocates of logging charge these chiefs and Beaulea.u to be primarily interested in a trip to Washington. So much for the mutual grounds of crimination. As cause for dissatisfaction the opposing Indians charge: 1. That half-breeds and half-breed wives of white men get practically all the log-ging permits. That is true, and is so because one can not get a permit to cut pine unless he give a bond to pay for it. These bonds are made by the lumbermen who buy the pine. It is only natural that they will bond a half-breed in preference to a full-blood for the simple reason that the mixed-blood speaks English and an interpre-ter is not required for every talk necessary about the business. For the same reason there is less chance of dispute about the contract and business, and usually the half-breed is a man of some capacity and responsibility, and, if a woman, is the wife of a white man of some business capacity. Also, the very brge opportunity for fraud furnished by the supply credit made it unsafe for a man of strict integrity to deal with a man who had scarcely laid aside his breechcloth and blanket. Meddlesome people, seeking their own advancement, would accuse him of cheating the Iudian whether he did or not. But in law and equity the complaint against the half-breed or mixed-blood is not good. The Indians by their treaty of January 14, 1889, accorded TIMBER ON THE CHIPPEWA INDIAN RESERV A'l'IONS. 41 the mixed-bloods full rights in the pine estate of the tribe, and it comes with ill grace now to protest against them on account of blood. 2. They charge that where a full-blood received a logging permit he was compelled to get credit from his bnyer, and all profits were eaten up in supply biJ.ls. In many cases this is true, and, what is worse, it was possible in every case. Under this objec-tion the opponents of logging find a solid basis for their position. It is admitted by everyone that the superintendent of logging has nuder the rules no control of the matter of supplies. The Indian agent at White Earth, Minn., contends he has no authority except to allow the original advance of not to exceed $2 per thousand under the rule, and has no authority to go into the bona fides of the items charged. The rule reads: "Paragraph 9. Any logging Indian~ on a proper showing of his inability to fur-nish his logging outfit or to sustain himself or his family during the logging opera-tions, may receive advances of goods or cash from any party with whom he may contract, which contract shall first be approved by the Indian agent to such limit as t.he Indian agent may fix, and such advances shall be paid by the Indian agent to the party making the same from the amount to which such Indian is entitled for his logging work." Under this rule every account presented and approved by the Indian logger, or his "attorney in fact," was paid. (See Exhibit A.) The three items not allowed were for goods furnished by merchants who were not authorized to advance the Indian credit. Many of these Indian loggers could neither read nor write, knew absolutely noth-ing about the business in band, and "attorneys in fact" were appointed for them who were upon the regular pay rolls and employ of the creditor. (See Exhibits J, K, L, M, attached.) These "attorneys in fact" passed upon the justice and correct-ness of the items in the supply and labor bills. We append hereto a tabulated statement (see Exhibit B) of prices charged by these supply creditors compared with prices charged genera.lly to the public upon a credit basis. It will be noticed that upon the staple articles consumed at camp-meat, flour, and ground feed-most of those loggers who failed to pay thei:r: labor did have to pay supply bills at from 20 to 50 per cent advance from normal prices. It will not do to say these prices should be higher, because the goods go into camp, for, as a matter of fact, the Indian logger paid for hauling it into the camp, and the Greditor did not pay for it. It was delivered to the logger on the railroad. In the case of Hartley, supplying Clara Ducette, shown upon the statement, it should be remem-bered that Ducette also paid $244 in freight bills. This Ducette's supply bill is neither better nor worse than the average statement upon which settlement was made. (Exhibit C, in separate envelope.) And while the Indians complaining as to this feature of the logging can not say that this or that item in any supply bill is fraudulent, they do say that the prices charged are excessive, and that there is no check upon the creditor in his charges except the limit of the Indian's possible profits. Returning again to the Ducette supply bill (see Exhibit C), it will be seen that the items are set clown at elates running forward and backward; that there are various large char~es not itemized; that while beginning with a $45 cook stove and about $50 worth of cooking utensils under dates of December 8, 9, anc111, the account runs through January, February, and March for several pages and then occurs a charge, "Dec. 11. To cooking outfit, $110;" the charge of "trip to Walker, $7 (or $10)" occurs in various places. At the close of the camp Hartley kept the outfit and gave Ducette credit for $200 for it. An outfit not only includes the stuff not consumed, but largely represents the total labor of the blacksmiths and carpenters for the winter in the form of sleds, go-devils, rut cutters, and road sprinklers, and the iron used in construction thereof. The Ducette camp, after paying the supply bill, was about $150 short on labor, but Mr. Hartley paid this labor on his own account. The creditors of camps not included in Exhibit B did not itemize their bills, so the prices charged were not obtainable from the records. In the settlement of Clark Clay, the supply creditor of Smith and Nason and of Ne bene tic, Mr. Clay retained the logging outfits and pai<:l the Indian loggers $50 for each outfit. This does not appear in the settlement, but Mr. Clay is authority for this statement. These camps were also a few dollars short on labor, but Mr. Cla5'" paid it by paying more for the logs than his contract price. We believe that in many cases the part of the contract and rule providing that after the stumpage, labor, and supply bills were paid the balance should go to the Indian logger was a fiction. There was a contract or understanding on the side that the Indian logger should receive a certain reward for the use of his name in securing the logging permit. This was the case where the Reel River Lumber Company purchased the logs of Bonga and Dick and of Bonga and Warren. (See Exhibits N, L, attached.) In other cases it was covered up by the dealing through the Indian's husband or an "attorney in fact." 42 TIMBER ON THE CHIPPEWA INDIAN RESERVATIONS. While the aibove references to the supply bills show abuse in some cases, the graver featme of it is that it leaves the door open for fraud and abuse. And while it is pri-marily a matter that concerns the Indian logger, and not the tribe as a whole, it does concern the tribe in so far as it may conceal the real profit in logging and the real value of stumpage. It concerns the Government for the same reason and for the further reason that the Government is the guardian and protector of the Indian logger as an individual. This abuse and possibility of fraud can be prevented by putting a Government inspector in the camp who shall have control of the labor and supply charges within proper rules. 3. The Indians opposing logging say too much green timber was cut. They would visit the camps and see green timber being cut and skidded. They are not loggers, and of course can not tell how much green was cut or being cut. Where boom-sticks were cut, green logs were usually secured at the butt or top, the boom-sticks being 36 feet long. These extra logs in one big camp-Warren and Fairbanks'-amounted to about 25,000 feet (see Exhibit 1!', attached), and the green trees cut were 333. Three hundred and thirty-three green-tops lying about a slashing or cutting would impress an Indian-or a white man not a logger-with the idea that a big steal was in progress. As a matter of fa.ct, the cutting would be entirely within the letter of the contract, and may have also been within the absolnte necessity of the case-though likely not. We personally inspected much of last year's cutting, being par-ticular to go where complaint was made. It is our firm conviction that the rules and conditions of the contract were lived up to. Green timber was cut where there was no necessity for it, but it was permitted because within the letter of the con-tract. This can be easily remedied by providing a maximum amount of green for boomage, and having the camp inspectors, or assistant superintendents, see that no green standing timber is cut for booms where there are green windfalls or recently fire-killed trees, as elsewhere herein recommended. The White Earth Indians com-plained of the cutting of green timber upon the diminished land or reservation proper by Ben Fairbanks, and said they had brought green chips and boughs to their agent, but he refused to send a man out to investigate the matter. Agent Suther-land informs us that the Indians did bring to him green boughs anse goods to his workmen to th~ amouut of two-fifths of their wages. I find this method a source of great dissatisfaction. The prices charged at these stores were exorbitant, and the Indian, having credit, naturally bought things that he did not need. In a few instances the contractor, upon purchasing his camp outfit, has charged the Indian with the full amount (averaging from $1,000 to $1,200), and at the end of tbe season purchased it back for $200 to $300. This caused dissatisfaction to some extent The bills presented to the agent for settlement by the various supply companies who supplied the camps with the necessary groceries, pro-visions, etc., during the logging season, are not, as a rule, properly itetnized. While it can not be said that the prices charged were exorbi-taut, the loose manner of making these bills, as well as the fact that no apparent check was kept on such purchases, to ascertain whether such goods were actually furnished to camps, gives abundant oppor-tunity for fraud and collusion. Another cause for complaint is that not all Indian labor is employed in the camps, where Indians might be employed to advantage. I find that of the 53 camps in operation the past fiscal year, many of them employed less t.han 10 per cent Indian labor, and very few had over 50 per cent Indian labor, the average being ft'om 15 to 20 per cent. I inclose herewith, marked "Abstract 0," a list of all the employees in said camp, designating whether white or of Inrlian blood. The chief source of ·an complaint was that the green timber of the reservation was being ruthlessly cut and destroyed under the pretense of its being "dead and down." I held five councils with Indians from various portions of the reservation and took the statements of many who had worked in the camps on both ceded and diminished lands. These Indians, to a man, protested against the further cutting of the so-called "dead and down" timber. They were vehement in their pro-tests. They are convinced that more than one-half the timber cut in all the camps has been of the best green and growing pine, and that they are realizing little or nothing from it. While I had no authority to go on ceded lands I went personally through many of the tracts on the diminished reservation where tim· ber operations were carried on the past winter. I found in all these that the complaints of the Indians were well founded. Evidences of the clean cutting of everything merchantable were abundant every-where. On several tracts I found three or four thousand logs cut and skidded. Of these fully 60 per cent were cut from green tt'ees. In one pile of 99logs on skids, 86 were found to have been cut green, and 13 dry. In many places roads were cut through the best timber and scores of green trees sacrificed. I talked with men who conducted camps in regard to the practice of cutting- so-called "dead and dowu" timber. They claim that a tree may be standing and growing, and have green boughs, and yet be properly classed as" dead and down"; that (by some occult means) they can tell about how long a tree will live, and when they find it will die within a year or two they consider it for all iuteuts and purposes a "dead and down" tree. They say that when a tree is scorched, or has one or two roots burned off, it is practically dead or dying, but old Inuians pointed out trees that were burnt and even chareed about the base fifteen to twenty years ago that are green and sound to-day. Some of the oldest and most reliable woodmen and lum· TIMBER ON THE CHIPPEWA INDIAN RESERVATIONS. 87 berm en in the Northwest will tell you that there is practically no dead and down merchantable timber on these reservations and that the cut-ting of so-called "dead and do~n" is a farce, and my observations and investigations bear out the statement. I would most emphatically recommend .the suspension of all logging of dead and down timber, for the following reasons: First, that the present system is unsatisfactory and cumbersome; second, that under this system both the Government and Indians are losing thousands of dollars annually; third, that green timber is being cut and wasted under false pretenses; fourth, that the Indians are being so plainly defrauded that they are greatly dissatisfied, and their discontent is assuming serious proportions. The Indians are, however, desirous of having timber operations resumed on a basis of common sense and common honesty. They favor the selling outright of all their pine timber at not less than $2 per thousand for Norway and $3 for white, as it stands, or the putting in of mills by the Government under the Menomonee plan. Either, I think, would be practicable and result satisfactorily to both Indians and Government. * * * * .As per your verbal request I made a general inspection of agency affairs, their management, condition of Indians, etc. I find much dissatisfaction among the Indians that is excusable, and that may be easily remedied. One of the principal complaints is the inability of the agent to attend, personally, to all the business of the reservation. This can not be done with the difterent bands so widely scattered and with roads impassable the larger part of the year. No agent has as yet been able to give satisfaction in this respect since the agencies wel'e consolidated. I would tlwrefore urge that a regular bonded agent be placed at Leech Lake in charge of the Indians there, and that the Indians of Cass Lake be also put under his charge . ..... ~nother complaint is that mixed-bloods a 1d "squaw men" are given equal opportunities on the reservation with full -blooded lndians, if not advantages over them. While this is not true in fact it is nevertheless true that many of the mixed-bloods and "squaw men" are constantly stirring up strife, and, being better educated and generally keen busi-ness men they get the best of every deal that a full-blood may risk with them. Sometlling should be done at once to rid the full-bloods of this unfair competition. Only such as have a preponderance of Indian blood should be recognized as Indians. The law should be changed, and until changed there will be constant and serious annoyances aris-ing from it. The Indians complain that the Chippewa Commission, which, from January, 1889, till July, 1897, paid out of their funds over $22,000 per annum in salaries alone (and about $10,000 per annum since that time), has outlived its usefulness, and that its business should be terminated at an early date. They complain that some $300,000 to $400,000 has been expended from their funds for timber estimating that has been of little or no benefit to them; that, in fact, nearly all of this vast sum was wasted, and they are held up in ridicule as the victims of such extravagance. They also complain that under the Chippewa Commission allotment act strange Indians from other parts of the State and from Wisconsin, many of whom have already received benefits from pine lands, are per-mitted to come among them and that they are compelled to share with all such. 88 TIMBER ON THE CHIPPEWA INDIAN RESERVATIONS. These are some of the complaints which I would recommend as enti-tled to your immediate consideration. I find that the agent does not give b.is personal attention to issues from the warehouse and to the care of the old and sick, but leaves all this to be done by clerks. He is also not inclined to travel over the reservation, consequently can not know the condition of the Indians, nor the conduct of the various schools and substations under his care. Naturally the Indians do not regard him as their friend and adviser, but rather as a stranger. I do not consider Agent Sutherland wholly to blame for the bad management of the logging camps under his charge last winter. He came into office after all the contracts were let and when business was well under way, superintendent appointed, etc. He then was called to make an annuity payment which took him from the agency several weeks. He gave his superintendent full charge of the camps, and was given to believe they were properly conducted. I inclose statement of Agent Sutherland (Abstract D) and report of superintendent of logging (Abstract E), which are applicable here and which are self-explanatory. I believe Agent Sutherland to be a man of strict integrity, and capable of managing the reservation if divided as suggested. The a.gency office, books, and papers are not kept in a neat and orderly manner, and' the discipline about the office is too lax. I would recommend that the clerk, R. J. Holland, be transferred, and that a thoroughly first-class man be appointed in his place. The management of property and issues from the warehouse have been in ·charge of Arnold Ledeboer for four years paMt. Mr. Ledeboer is a competent and hard-wt>rking man, but assumes too much authority, and his manner toward the Indians renders him very unpopular. He should be transferred at once, but an experienced and capable man should be selected for the place. No serious objection was found to other employees, and I am satisfied that if changes are made as suggested affairs will progress satisfac-torily in the future. I found a number of irregularities in accounts, but as these existed under the administration of the former agent, will not refer to them in this report. Trusting that all recommendations contained herein may have your early attention. Very respectfully, J. E. JENKINS, Esq., Washington, D. C. J .A.S. E. JENKINS, Special Agent. UNITED STATES INDIAN SERVICE, White Earth Agency, Minn., December 9, 1898. MY DEAR SIR: Raving had but a few moments to talk with you before you left here, there are things that have come to me since your departure. You will remember I informed you the contracts for cutting dead and down on the diminished were all let when I took charge January 1 last, superin·tendent of logging appointed, and over half of the timber or logs cut, and I had not been in office a month before I was required to make a "damage" payment to the Indians, which required about a month's time, so that when I returned the logs were practically aU cut, so you will see I did not have much opportunity to look after logging matters while they were in full blast. Of course I do not know what your report will be in this matter. I simply mention the above facts to you, so you may know when my responsibility commenced and the amount of time I had to devote to it. Yours, truly, J. H. SUTHERLAND.

CHIPPEWA INDIAN RESERVATIONS • .After having made a careful survey of the situation, I have the honor to submit the following report: .At each camp I visited I made a careful examination of all logs that had been cut. On the skid ways I found a number of logs that looked as though they had been cut from green trees, but on a careful examination I find that they were cut either from windfalls or from trees that ha;d been girdled by fire. There are a great many such trees in the woods, and many of them with green tops; but the tree is practi-callydead, to all intents and purposes, therefore not of any valuation_ when it comes to question of being put on the market only as dead timber. I next made an examination of the logging roads and the branches to find out if any of the roads had been cut so as to have any excuse for cutting green trees. I found that great care had been taken in the cutting of the roads, the routes having been carefully chosen so as not to interfere with green timber any further than was necessary. I visited the landing to see if the quality of logs differed from those in the woods, and find them the same. I examined the foreman in regard to his instructions to his men as to the kind of trees to cut and he answered that he had instructed them to cut only such timber p.s I ordered. I next examined the undercutters and saw-yers, and they all agree that they had not only received such orders from the fore-man, but had also been cautioned from time to time by the owners to be careful. On my visit to the camps I was shown two or three green trees that had been cut by mistake bnt been left where they had fallen, the parties not wishing to dispose of the same until I had seen them. I ordered them cut into boom sticks and hauled to the landing. Further, I think and would be more than pleased to have any practical man or number of men look the situation over, and. have no doubt but they would sustain me in my opinion.

Inspector Wright's report, with the accompanying papers, is here-with returned. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, The SEORET.A.RY OF THE INTERIOR. D. M. BROWNING, Commissioner. CHIO.A.Go, December 31, 1896. SIR: I have the honor to submit the following report in regard to estimation of timber on the Chippewa ceded pine lands in .JVIinnesota, in compliance with Department instructions dated October 20 and 31, 1896. In pursuance with your directions to engage competent estimators of timber, and reexamine some of the tracts of the above described terri-tory, after a conference with the Ron. S. W. Lamoreux, Commissioner of the General Land Office, at his home in Horicon, Wis., I visited Oshkosh and Ashland, Wis., Duluth and St. Paul, Minn., for the pur-pose of engaging the services of competent and experienced men, finally securingMr:M. J. McGuigau,of Ashland, Wis.,reeommende1l by Lieut. William A. Mercer, U.S. A., acting Indian agent at La Pointe Agency, and others, including Mr. J. J. McGeehan, who employed him and released him to me temporarily. I also engaged a Mr. H. B. Ayres, of Carlton, Miuu., recommended by Mr. Fernow, chief of the forestry division, Department of Agricul-ture, where Mr. Ayres was formerly connected, and for years past has beell and is at preseut employed by tlw Northern Pacific Railroad as a TIMBER ON THE CRIPPEW A INDIAN RESERVATIONS. 105 timber estimator. He had been temporarily engaged by the State of Minnesota, from whom I secured him temporarily, after much difficulty. Of these two gentlemen I would state that Mr. McGuigan has been engaged by large and responsible lumber firms for many years in esti-mating extensive tracts of standing timber to be bought and sold. He ha~ gained his knowledge by long experience and demonstrated himself to be, as represented, a valuable man, possessing good judgment regard-ing timber. Mr. Ayres possesses a superior knowledge regarding study of timber, and has estimated large quantities, more for the purpose of ascertaining exact quantity than for disposal. He takes much pride in his work, systematic and thorough, is of a scholarly disposition, and more minute in his work than Mr. McGuigan. From myohservation of these two men, which is concurred in by others, I would prefer purchasing timber on Mr. McGuigan's estimate, believing he would be safe and leave a reasonable margin, while I would prefer to accept Mr. Ayres's figures as-to actual amount of timber found, although he almost invariably reported more than Mr. McGuigan where same tract~ were examined by both. I also seeured the SP-rvices of Mr. F. Roth, from the fnreRtry division of the Department of Agriculture. who is familiar with mode of measuring trees and computing quantity of timber. Each of the:se men took oath of offi<'e b<·fore be~;innin~r work. vVitll these men I proct-t-d('d to Red Lake, Minn., 65 mi1eR from railroad, and fi·om there to a poi11t about~ mile~ dista11t to the ceded la11ds, ccted to ascertain correctness of work. At first he examined some tracts and later did so occasioually when a man was sick. All of his time \Yas required to gather reports from different crews, deliver them to assistant chief, see that \vork in each towmlhip was completerl before left, aud that he had no knowledge regarding manner i11 which work wa8 done. In his opinion, ten men were experienced estimators and twenty-five inexperienced · and incompetent when first appointed, as they knew nothing about timber at that time. Of those seen, Mr.Rich-mond and Mr. Reid state that they had no previous experience estimat-ing timber. Mr. Lovell states he had no experience previously, but) had lived in a timber country where people bought by measurements after it was cut. 1\Ir. Bodkin states be ha.

WRIGHT, Indian Inspector, Washington, D. C. DEAR SIR: The following statement is intended as explanation of the method pursued in computing the amount of timber from caliper measurements, the results of which appear in the following pages: MEASUREMENTS. 1. The diameter of each tree was measured with calipers at breast height( about 4t feet from ground). Small trees under 14 inches in diameter were neglected entirely. The height of representative trees was measured both on standing and fallen timber, and three height classes established for white pine and two for Nor-way, the classes of the former being 110, 100, and 90 feet, and those of the latter 100 and 80, respectively. While measuring the tree, the height class was esti-mated and the tree was recorded in that class with its diameter, the diameters being taken by two-inch differences. COMPUTATION, 1. The volume was found by multiplying the area corresponding to the diameter by the height and by a '' factor of shape," to allow for the tap·er. This factor was taken as 0.40 for both white pine and Norway pine, that is to say, the contents of a tree are fo- of a cylinder, with the diameter measured at breast h f'ight. This factor was found by actual measurement on numerous trees as generally exceed-ing 0.45 for white pine and 0.50 for Norway pine, but was taken at the lower fig-ure to insure against any extravagance. 2. Allowance was made for unused portions of the tree, namely: Bark, 10 per cent of volume of stem; top, 10 per cent of volume of stem. Both figures are based on a large number of actual measurementR; the latter (naturally varying with the degree of care exercised in logging) corresponds to ordinary careful usage. 3. Allowance for saw waste has been set at 30 per cent of the total volume of the stem for the two upper classes (white pine I and II, and Norway I and II) and at 40 per cent for Class III of white pine. These allowances correspond with those of the better authorities on this subject, and are decidedly larger than the actual usage of the modern mills requires. 4. Defects, such as decay and crooks, were estimated in lump, for each class at varying proportions. This item can be said to be the only one introduced in this calculation which of necessity remains mere estimate. The figures here used were chosen after careful consideration of the condition of the timber and by con-sulting the opinion of each of the men assisting in the work. They are unusually high even for very defective stands of timber, and are believed to amply cover the defects in these particular cases. 5. Loggers' risk for breakage and other loss. While not a real part of an esti-mate, it is admitted proper to enter into considerations of this kind where a great degree of accuracy is not attainable, and hence allowance has been made for it. The figure remains debatable, but has in reality nothing to do with measurements. TIMBER ON THE CHIPPEWA INDIAN RESERVATIONS. 163 VALUE OF METHOD. These measurements are superior in accuracy to the ordinary estimates in that they contain several elements of certainty and definiteness not possessed or applied by the estimator, namely: 1. Knowledge of the actual number of trees. 2. Knowledge of the actual diameter of each tree and its contents. 3. Proper allowance for taper, which is based on actual measurement on a large number of trees made for the very purpose. 4. Definite statement and separation of the allowances for defects, saw waste, and general risks, and ascertaining some of them (as loss by bark and tops) by actual detail measurements. These allowances are made by estimators in a lump without definite separation and hence can not be checked, and are, besides, based on notions rather than knowledge or measurement. It will be observed that the allowance for waste and other loss have been placed at over 60 per cent of the actual contents of trees, which may be said to correspond to a very indifferent method of lumbering and milling. Respectfully, FILIBERT ROTH. This certifies that I, Filibert Roth, timber expert of the Division of Forestrv in the Department of Agriculture, have, under the direction of J. G. Wright, Indian inspector, assisted in the measurement of the timber on the following tracts of land situated in the State of Minnesota, and forming part of the ceded portion of the Red Lake Indian Reservation: No.1.

CLASSED AS AGRICULTURAL LAND . . e. .:l ,.q Q) ...; 00 .s >:1 0/) .., +> iS: >:1 ~ <:,) re Mr. Harmon received the orders. Mr. McQUILLAN, being recalled; present, Mr. Beaulieu and inspector: Q. Mr. McQuillan, did you ever furnish any estimates of any tracts of timber or agricultural lands to Mr. Beaulieu of tracts which he was to examine or which were assigned to him prior to the time he had made his report on them?-A. No. S. Doc. 70--15 226 TIMBER ON THE CHIPPEWA INDIAN RESERVATIONS. Q. Did you ever furnish him with any estimates of any tracts whatever?-A. Not to my knowledge. Q. Did you ever furnish him with any estimates or minutes of the quantity of timber on any of the sections embraced in township 150-34?--A. No, sir; I never had no minutes of that town; knew nothing about it. Q. Mr. Beaulieu, do you still assert that Mr. McQuillan did furnish you figures or estimates of timber embraced in town 150, range 34, or of any other town?-A. I did not receive any figures of town 150, range 34, and was mistaken if I said so, but I think I received from him some figures for some agricultural lands. Q. Do you know whether you did or not?-A. No, sir; I could not state posi-tively. Q. Mr. McQuillan, did you ever furnish him with estimate3 of any agricultural lands?-A. To the best of my knowledge, I never did. Q. Did you ever furnish any other estimator with figures of any timber or agri-cultural lands?-A. I have no recollection of furnishing anyone outside of our crew with any estimates. Q. I believe you stated that Mr. Allen was in your crew a portion of the time?-A. Yes, sir. Q. Do you know whether or not Mr. Allen ever did examine any tracts of tim-ber or agricultural lands upon which he reported while he was with you?-A. Yes, he did. Q. Did he generally examine tracts upon which he reported while he was with you?-A. Allen was a good deal sick while he was with me, sick more or less a great deal of the time; some of the times being absent for sickness; but he did examine a good many forty-acre tracts with me in my presence. Q. Were you ever requested or was it intimated to you by either Mr. Douglas, the chief, Mr. Read, the assistant chief, ot· Mr. Harmon, the foreman, that you should not nor need not personally examine every forty-acre tract, but could accept other examiners' figures and report upon them as your own without person-ally examining them?-A. No, I don't think either one of the three ever intimated any such thing to me. Q. Have you ever heard Mr. Harmon make any such remarks to any examiner, or heard that he did do so?-A. No, I neverdid; Ithinkevery exhminer knew that Mr. Harmon had no authority to do so, even if he did. Q. It was expected of you, as of all others, that they should do their own work, was it not?-A. Yes, sir; the only orders I ever remember getting, aside from the orders from the Department, was when Mr. Douglas cautioned me and others to take all the time we wanted; that all he wanted was to get the timber right. , Q. Did you personally examine sections 7, 8, and 9, town 150-32, upon which you reported with Mr. Allen and Mr. Morgan?-A. I did not. Q. For what reason?-A. Because it was necessary that some person should stay in camp; we were obliged to be away from camp for three days at a time, and we could not leave it alone; I accepted Mr. Morgan's reports. Q. Have you reason to believe that both of them examined those tracts?-A. Yes, sir. Q. Do you remember of any other tracts upon which you so reported?-A. No, sir; I don't remember of any others. Q. About what time was it those tracts were examined and reported on?-A. In March, 1895. Q. Do you remember whether or not other crews were working on the same town at that time?-A. One other crew, Looney and Long; Childs wasn't with them, but probably stayed qt their camp. Q. Do you know whether or not Wall, Bowdre, and Miller were there at the time?- A. I don '.t know whether they were there or not; Carr and Stevens were there also. Q. Do you know whether or not Mr. Bell was there at that time?-A. I didn't see him there. Q. About what time did you go to White Earth Agency with others to examine tracts on that reservation?-A. The latter part of March, 1895, immediately after completing work in that town. Q. Do you know whether or not any of the examiners went to White Earth to do work at any other time?-A. We all went together about that time. Q. When did you first begin work for the Government as examiner?-A. March 12th, 1894. Q. Did any examiners go to White Earth to your knowledge to do work during the year 1894?-A. No, sir. Q. Mr. Beaulieu, you have stated that you. with other examiners, left Thunder Lake to go to White Earth in March, 1894.-A. I have discovered that I was mis-taken, and now desire to say it was March, 1895. TB113EH. ON THE CHIPPEWA INDIAN RESERVATIONS. 227 Present: Mr. Read, Conway, Bodkin, Mr. Douglas. Mr. Beaulieu, and Mr. Parke. Q. Mr. Read, were any instructions or authority ever given by you that any examiners should or could furnish to one another or accept from one anothe:r reports or estimates covering any certain tract of timber or agricultural lands .and base their reports upon such estimates without themselves personally examin-ing tra~t::; which had been assigned to them?-A. No, sir; I always insisted that I had no authority to change the instructions received from the Department. Q. Was such ever done with your knowledge?-A. On agricultural lands I know of it by hearsay in two or three instances. Q. Have you any knowledge of it as to timber lands?-A. No, sir; none what-ever. Q. Were the original reports as furnished by each examiner forwarded by you to the Department?-A. I forwarded the original reports from each examiner to the chief. Q. Mr. Douglas, were such reports forwarded by you to the Department as com-ing to you from Mr. Read without any alterations or changes?-A. Yes, sir; only where there was some evident error I returned them for correction; bnt as finally accepted by me they were forwarded as received, without any changes. Q. Mr. Douglas, had you any knowledge of any examiner's accepting reports from others as to the quantities of timber on any tract or tracts and basing their reports on such estimates without themselves personally examining the same?-A. No, sir. Q. Did Mr. Beaulieu ever inform you that such was being done?-A. I don't remember of it. Q. Did Mr. Beaulieu ever inform you that he had been directed to accept reports of others and not examine the lands himself?-A. No, sir; I am positive of that. Q. Mr. BeaulieU:, you have heard what Mr. Douglas has said. You claim in your testimony that you had several conversations on that subject, informing him that you had been directed to accept the reports of others and not examine the land yourself. -A. If I made that statement, I didn't want to make it so specific; but I would say that on several occasions, I can't state any special time, to the best of my recollection, of having talked with Chief Douglas, among other things, about these matters, and that I thought it was not right. I don't know that I ever made any charges, directly or indirectly, but we talked of the matter. Q. Did you or did you not inform him that you had been directed or requested or that you had been informed that you could accept reports 'from others and base your returns upon such reports without yourself examining the lands?-A. I don't think that I ever did. Q. Did you inform him at any time that such was being done 'Qy any exam-iners?-A. Directly, I never did. Mr. DouGLAS. When Mr. Beaulieu came to the office, or any other men of the corps, I always talked with them freely and always impressed it upon them to do their work carefully and well. You remember that, do you not, Mr. Beaulieu? Mr. BEAULIEU. Yes, sir.1 Q. Mr. Read, do you know whether or not reports by different examiners, or any examiners, were furnished covering any parts of township 150, range 32, which, was not personally examined by those who furnished such reports?-A. I did not. Q. Do you know whether or not Mr. Beaulieu, Connor, and Finney, working in a crew together, examined any of the tracts on which they report in town 150, range 32?-A. I will state that in February, 1895, when making my regular rounds of the camp, I urgAd the crews to hurry with the work then assigned to them, as I wished to complete 150-32 before the frost was out of the ground and get down to White Earth, the next work to be done; that Mr. Harmon in a few days carried the assignment of the work to the different crews, and I supposed that the work would be done. Q. At what time did you go to White Earth?-A. In the latter part of March, or about the middle of March; that is my impression. Q. Did lHr. Beaulieu, Connor, and Finney, Mr. Bodkin. Mr. Conway, and Mr. McNeill go to White Earth at that time, too?-A. They had instructions to get out as soon as they finished the work in 150-32. Q. Did Mr. Beaulieu, Conway, and Finney accompany you about the middle of March?-A. We didn't go in a body, but by different roads. · Q. What time did Mr. Conway, Beaulieu. and Finney go?-A. About the last of March, to the best of my recollection. Q. How long did you remain at White Earth?-A. Until-we got out of there the last week in April and the first week of May. Q. Did Mr. Conway, Mr. Bodkin, and McNeill go to White Earth the last part of March, 1895?-A. They did. 22 8 TIMBER ON 'THE CHIPPEWA INDIAN RESERVATIONS. Q. Did any of those men return to 150-32?-A. Not to my knowledge, sir. Q. The Department reports show that Bodkin, Conway, and McNeill examined sections 3, 10, and 15 on the weeks ending April 20th and 27th. How could they be examining those lands there and be down at White Earth at the same time?-A. My direct examination states that the work was not reported directly as it was done; they kept it on their field notes and reported it afterwards. Q. The dates, then, show the dates on which they forwarded their reports and not the dates they examined the land?-A. Yes, sir. Q. Do you know whether or not Mr. Beaulieu, Connor, and Finney examined sections 1, 2, and 11 in 150-32 on which they reported?-A. It was assigned to them. Q. Do you know that they did not examine them?-A. No, sir. Q. Do you know whether or not Mr. Bodkin, Conway. and McNeill examined sections 3, 10, and 15 in town 150-32?--A. Only by their reports, sir. Q. Had you any reason to believe that they did not?-A. No, sir. Q. Do you know of any instances where a crew of three examiners were working together, that one of them remained in camp, accepting the reports of the other two covering any tracts without themselves examining them?-A. I do not, sir. Q. Was that theuniversalpracticeofthe men?-A. It was not, sir, to my knowl-edge. Q. Do you mean by that that you know it was not the universal practice?-A. Yes, sir; so far as I am able to know. Q. Was that ever done at the camps in which you were located?-A. No, sir; because no man stayed in camp constantly; they all went out. Q. Mr. Douglas, was any portion of town 150-32 examined by any of the men prior to the time it was reported in the spring of 1895, by Stacy or anyone else?-A. Yes, sir; in the fall of 1893, so they stated to me. I sent some examiners there to examine and report on parts of the township which had not been completed by the former corps of examiners; subsequently I received orders to have the entire work of the former corps gone over, and I therefore directed to have it all gone over and reexamined in the spring of 1895. Q. Do you know whether or not Mr. Stacy was one of the men who worked in that township in the fall of 1893?-A. I think he was. That was the report tome. Q. Mr. Bodkin, did you go to Mr. Conway with Mr. Beaulieu and procure from him some estimates in township 150-32 and give them to Mr. Beaulieu prior to the time that Mr. Beaulieu's crew was assigned to work there? Please relate all circumstances in relation to that transaction, to the best of your recollection.-A. I have no record of the work, but Mr. Conway says it is so, so I presume it is so. Q. Did you personally examine sections 3, 10, and 15, township 150, range 32, as reported on by you?-A. Mr. Conway says we did not, and I presume that is so; I have no record of it. Q. You don't know whether you did or not?-A: No, sir. Q. Mr. Conway, were there any other townships upon which you reported work which yon did not yourself examine?-A. No, sir; not-to my recollection now. Q. Had Mr. Stacy examined tracts in that township, 150-32, the first time they were gone over in 1893?-A. So he informed me. Q. Had you any knowledge whether or not his estimates on any work in that towm;hip were correct?-A. I could not say as to that, but be was considered a good fair estimator at the time he was on the corps. Q. Did you ever furnish any othe:;.· figures or estimates to anybody else directly, or indh·ectly, except through Mr. Bodkin to Mr. Beaulieu, covering tracts in 150-32?-A. No, sir; I did not. Q. Did you meet Mr. Beaulieu when he first came onto the work?-A. Yes, sir. Q. Did you inform him that you had no experience in the woods and didn't know anything about estimating timber,.and desired him to instruct you, also as to what necessary articles you would need?-A. No, sir; I did not. Q. Mr. Douglas, did you have any such conversation with Mr. Beaulieu at that time?-A. No, sir; not that I recollect. Mr. Beaulieu was in an excited frame of mind that day; told me that his father was dying, and asked me to be excused, and when I refused he felt so bad that I gave him permission. Is not that true, Mr. Beaulieu?-A. Yes; I asked the chief for leave of absence. Q. Mr. Beaulieu, you have stated that where you and other members of your crew, comprising three men, worked in heavy timber, you divided, going through the forty some distance from each other, and when you got through added your reports together for the whole. Did you ever receive any instructions as to what manner you should ~a over a forty?-A. Never, specifically. TIMBER ON THE CHIPPEWA INDIAN RESERVATIONS. 229 Mr. JOHN C. HARMON, recalled. Mr. Beaulieu also present. Q. Mr. Harmon, Mr. Beaulieu reported on lot 14, section 20, town 150-3b. Do you remember whether or not you advised him to reduce his estimates on that lot; and if so, to what extent? What was the nature of your conversation with him?-A. I don't remember any conversation I ever had with anybody to reduce any-body's estimate. Q. Did you have any conversation with him, if you remember, in regard to the timber on that particular tract?-A. I don't remember having had any conver-sation with him in regard to section 20; but I remember having one with Mr. McNeill and Bowdre, but in regard to what part of the section I don 't remember. Q. You may state the substance, if you remember, of the conversation with Mr. Bowdre and MeN eill in regard to their estimates on any of that section.-A. I think it was on a Saturday that I went out with Mr. Bowdre on the east side of 34-150-35, and during the time we were out there was a few big, large, scattered pine that stood on the east side of the NE. t NE. t of 34; and he asked me how many logs it would take of that kind to the thousand, and I said about four to the thousand and four to the tree; he spoke up then and said he found some two-log timber ye:Jterday, two logs to the thousand feet; and I says, "If you did I would like to see it;" on Sunday I then went over onsomepartof section20-I do not now remember what part-with Mr. Bowdre and McNeill, and together we measured several fallen trees, testing some small and some larger ones, and found, as I had previously informed them I thought we would, that it took about six logs to the thousand; and I endeavored to give them such information as would be of service to them in enabling them to ascertain about how many logs of that kind of timber it would take to the thousand. Q. Did you have any conversation with them at that time in regard to reducing their estimates on that?-A. No, sir; I did not know what they had reported. All that we went over there for was to just determine the size of the timber. Q. Do you remember having any conversation with Mr. Beaulieu in regard to that timber?-A. I don't think that I did. Q. (To Mr. Beaulieu.) Do you have any recollection of that transaction? Mr. BEAULIEU. If my memory serves me rjght, Mr. Bowdre informed me, after being out with Mr. Harmon, that Mr. Harmon had informed him that we had not got enough logs to the thousand, and after talking the matter over with him we -concluded to reduce our estimates in regard to the number of logs to the thousand. Above questions asked by me and testified to by parties named. J. GEO. WRIGHT, U. S. Indian Inspector. CROOKSTON, Mum., Dec. 19 and 25, 1896. DEPOSITIONS AND STATEMENTS OF WORK DONE BY ESTIMATORS. s.

TIMBER ON THE CHIPPEWA INDIAN RESERVATIONS. 23 7 A 4. Personally appeared before me, JoHN W. MEELEY, who, after being duly sworn, deposes as follows: That he is forty-five years of age, and has resided on the Red Lake Reservation for the past six years, and is married to an Indian woman, and since Nov., 1895, has conducted a hotel at the Red Lake Agency. That he has been employed in timber operations in different capacities for the past twenty years, and has estimated quantities of standing timber for different parties who desired to sell and buy during that time. That during the winter of 1894 and 1895 he was employed by Mr. Walter F. Horton, with others, to estimate certain tracts of timber on the then Red Lake Indian Reservation, and which it was expected would soon be sold. That there were employed by the same Horton ten other men besides himself for the purpose of making the desired estimate, which he was informed was for the purpose of the Minneapolis and Minnesota Lumber Company, of which Mr. Backus was then president. That they began work on or about Jan'y 27th, 1895, and estimated the quantity of standing timber, reporting separately live and dead and down, on each forty-acre tract, on the following-described lands, twp. 148, range 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36; twp. 149, R. 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36; twp. 150, R. 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36, and that they completed the work and returned to Red Lake Agency on or about April 4th, 1895. That each forty-acre tract on the above-described lands were examined and the work of each estimator was assigned by the foreman, that each was required to do about an equal amount, and no tract was estimated by more than one man, the foreman testing the correctness of each. That he does not now remember the quantities of timber found on any particu-lar tracts except two, which are the NE. t of NW. i sec. 24, twp. 148, R. 36, and NW. i of NW. t sec. 24, tp. 148, R. 36, on which he found about nine hundred (900,000) thousand of standing live pine on each. That he has since seen by published reports of estimates made by examiners in the Government employ; that the above-named forty-acre tracts were estimated at 767 M and 427 M, respectively. That having previously worked in that vicinity for years in the woods and being familiar with that section, of country, he is convinced that nearly, if not all, of section 24, tp. 148, R. 36, was estimated too low by the Government estimators, according to Government published reports, while some other tracts were esti-mated by them too high and some too low. That the Government estimators referred to were at work during the time ·he • was so employed. That he frequently visited their camps in the evenings, as did the foreman, aU frequently working in the same vicinity, although he did not come in contact with them while at work. · That prior to the time he was so employed and subsequently he has frequently seen different men employed in making the Government estimate of timber at the Red Lake Agency for several days at a time; but he never saw any of them have or under the influence of liquor at any time. He was informed by Maury Jordan, a woman of mixed blood. about 20 years of age, single, that one of the Govern-ment estimators named Looney was the father of her child. That he has known the woman during the last six years, and her reputation has been good, she pre-viout"ly having returned from school in Philadelphia. That the twps. above referred to as examined by himself and others required about the same length of time to examine as any of the other twps. on the reserva-tion on which there is timber would require, he having traveled, more or less, over the reservation. Sworn to before me this 29th day of November, 1896. Witness: F. J. PARKE, Spl. Agent, G. L. 0. JOHN W. MEELEY. J. GEO. WRIGHT, U.S. Indian Inspector. JOHN W. MEELEY, being recalled, states he has known Theo. H. Beaulieu for past 13years. Has never known of his estimating timber before appointed as Gov-ernrnent estimator, and would not consider him a competent estimator of pine timber. JOHN W. MEELEY. 238 TIMBER ON THE CHIPPEWA INDIAN RESERVATIONS. A5. STATE OF MINNESOTA, Crookston: Personally appeared before me GEORGE A. RALPH, who, after being duly sworn, deposed as follows: That since 1891 up to the present time he has had Government contracts for surveying (subdividing) the following-named tps. within the limits of the Red Lake Indian Reservation: 149-39; 152-39, 40, and 41; 155-36, 37, and 38; 15o-36, 37, 38, 39, and 40; 157-39; 157-40 and 41; 158-39 and 40; and 161, 162, and 16:3, R. 36 and37; anc1161, R. 38; and 157,158,159, 160, and 161, R. 31; also tps.159 and 160, from Ranges 32 to 38 inc., and also ran the Red Lake guide meridian from Red Lake north to Lake of the Woods, the fourth guide meridian north from Red Lake to Rainy River, the 14th and 15th parallels across the Red Lake Reservation. That in the performance of such duty he has traveled over the entire country lying west of the mouth of Rapid River to the western boundary of the reserva-tion, and from the northern boundary of the Dennisbud Reservation to the Lake of the Woods on the north. That in Tps.155,in R. 36 to 42; 156, R. 36 to 42; 157, R. 39 to41; 158, R. 39 to 41, there is no pine timber except a small body in theSE. i of sec. 1, Tp. 156, R. 36, consisting of about 800 M of mixed pine timber; that the character of the remain-ing above-named tps. consists of low prairie and meadow land, interspersed with aspen groves, with some scattering hardwood. That the above-described country embraces fifteen whole tps. and 4 fractional tps. along the western border of the reservation; that in many of these twps. a person can see over the entire town by driving through once. That, in his opinion, one man could travel oyer the entire fifteen whole and four fraction,al twps. named for the purpose of carefully examining and reporting the quantity, if any, of pine timber on eacb. 40 acres within the borders of theaboved-named 15 whole and four fractional twps. within a pet'iod of 30 days, and that he would willingly enter into a contract himself and alone to cover such territory for such purpose, the whole to be completed within a period of 30 days, subject to inspection before results of his examination were accepted, and to report each 40-acre tract separate. That in twps. 161, 36-37, and fraction of 38; 162, 36 and fractional 37; 163, R. 36 and fractional37, it would require one man from 12 to 15 ~ays to carefully exam-ine and cstimq,te the quality of pine timber in each of the twps. named. That the territory embraced 161, R. 32 to 35; 162, R. 32 to 35; 16w, R. 33 to 35, would require about the same leng-th of time to examine. That of the above-named twps. 161, 162, and 163, ranges described, there is scattering pine timber in tp. 161, R. 32, 34, 35, 36, and 37, and 162, R. 33 and 34; • also 163, 33 and 34, containing a small quantity of timber, and that one man could carefully estimate and report the quantity of pine timber on each 40-acre tract within each town in from 12 to 15 days for each tp. That' during the month of Sept. he was in the above-named section of country, at which time he went through the town of Roseau, Minn., whel'e he saw several of the Government estimators of timber, and also others of them at their camp several times, that he visited their camps on several occasions during the daytime and found five or six of the estimators in camp each time. That in going through Roseau in Sept. he remained one day (Saturday) at which time there were five estimators there; that on returning through Roseau a week or ten days later he found about six Government estimators there; that he r emained there two days, and during such time 4e saw there H. M. Allen, T. H. Beaulieu, W. B. McNeil, M. Rankin, W. D. Stevens, and one other whose name he does not now remember. That he has also travelled over twps. 151, R. 38, 39, 40, and 41; also tp. 150, R. 38, 39, and 40; that there is no pine timber in twp. 151, but in 151, R. 38, 150, R. 38, 39, and 40 there is a small quantity of scattering pine timber; that in the seven twps. above named it would require about ten days for one man to carefully ex-amine each twp. to report the pine timber on each 40-acre tract.

I TIMBER ON THE CHIPPEWA INDIAN RESERVA'l'IUNS. 239 A6. Personally appeared before me RoBERT N. KITTLESON, who, after being duly sworn, deposes as follows: That during the winter of 1889 and '90 he was employed by Messrs. Burbank & Butler, of Fergus Falls, Minnesota, as compass man, sur-veying certain portions of the Red Lake Indian Reservation. That during said time he traveled over certain parts of said reservation in company with above-named surveyors over land described as follows: Tps. 152 and 153, R. 36, 37, and 38, character of which country was swamp and low lands, portions of which was open country and the remainder covered with poplar and tamarack growths, there being no pine timber thereon; that in his opinion one man could travel over the entire portions of the above-described tracts for the purpose of ascertaining if there was any pine timber thereon in a period of thirty days, or not more than ten days for each township. That he also traveled over, during the same winter for the same purpose (sur-veying), tps.154 and 155, R. 39, 40, 41, 42,and fraction 43, to the western boundary of the then Red Lake Reservation; that most of the above-described country was open prairie, with small poplar growth, and that in places a man could see across an entire township, and that there was no pine timber on any of the above-described land; and in his opinion one man could see or examine fully any one of the above-described townships in three or four days and require not more than thirty days for the entire ten of the tps. named. That in the spring of 1890 he was employed in the same capacity by George Ralph, of Crookston, Minn., and with him surveyed through the following-described country: Tps. 152, R. 39, 40, and 41, character of which country was open prairie and hay land, with poplar groves in certain localities; that there was no pine tim-ber on any of these tps., and, in his opinion, one man could examine each of the above tps. in from seven to ten days for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not there was any pine timber thereon. That in the spring of 1892 he was again employed by the said George Ralph in the same capacity, and, as U.S. deputy surveyor, accompanied over him the following lands: Tps. 153, R. 38, the character of which country was similar to that in tps. 152, R. 39, 40, and 41, with low, swampy ground in places; that there was then no pine timber thereon, and, in his opinion, one man would require about seven days to carefully examine and ascertain whether or not there was any pine timber on this twp. That during the same season of 1892 and in the same capacity he also subdivided, as in the previous twps. named in this affidavit, twp. 156, R. 41; twp. 157, 39, 40 , and 41, and twp. 158, R. 39, 40, and 41; that the character of country in these twps. was open prairie, poplar growths, and swampy in places, twp. 158 R. 39, being almos~ entirely swamp. That there was at that time no pine timber on any of the above-described twps., and that, in his opinion, one man could carefully examine each of these twps. in about seven days. ROBERT N. KITTLESON. Sworn to before me this 29th day of November, 1896. J. GEO. WRIGHT, U. S. Indian Inspector. Witness: F. J. PARKE, Spl. Agent G. L. 0. CARLTON, MINN., Dec. 19, 1896. Mr. W. A. HAYDEN, White Earth, Minn. DEAR SIR: In reply to your inquiry of the 15th inst., I began estimating stand-ing timber in 1883 for the Northern Transcontinental Survey and. with few inter-vals, have been either estimating or scaling timber or examining lands since. Am familiar with the best methods of timber and land examinations used both in this country and in Europe. Most of my work has been done in Minnesota for the Northern Pacific and the St. Paul and Duluth Railroad Companies, and for the State of Minnesota. Have found that on the prairie a man can thoroughly examine, map, and de-scribe in detail one section a day. In the wooded portion of Minnesota a half section a day can be done. 240 'l'IMBEH ON THE CHIPPEWA INDIAN RESEHV ATIONS. Tim-oer lands can best be examined in winter, i.e., from October first to April first, while agricultural lands can best be done in summer or from May 15th to October 1st. Respectfully , H. B. AYRES. (Indorsed:) I consider Mr. Ayers the best authority in the Northwest. Respectfully referred to the Secretary of the Interior for information of self and Inspector Wright. M. R. BALDWIN. DEC. 30. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., Dec. 2Jrth, 1896. Ron. M. R. BALDWIN, White Earth, Minn. DEAR SIR: In reply to your letter of Dec. 15th, which I intended to answer a little earlier, I would say that it is difficult for me to give any definite figures as to the cost of examining lands. I have had a large experience in the business, but it is hard to answer definitely the question which you ask. I send men from Min-neapolis commonly, pay their fares and time up and return, and use extra men to keep camp and run compass, making three to do the estimate work of one man-that is to say, the estimator, a compass man, and a camp man-excepting that some-times one camp man answers for two parties. Takmg all the expenses together, I would estimate about two cents an acre on estimatjng pine lands, and not half as much on estimating the value of farm lands. Lands can be run over and a general idea given at considerable less rate of expenditure, but not to get the definite information that I require in my business. Very truly, yours, T. B. WALKER. (Indorsed:) T. B. Walker is one of the lumber kings of the Northwest. Respectfully referred to the Secretary of Interior for information of self and Inspector Wright. M. R. BALDWIN. DEC. 30, CLOQUET, MINN., Dec. 23, 1896. Hon. M. R. BALDWIN, White Earth, Minn. DEAR SIR: Having been away from home, I just returned; now find your favor of last week. Replying, will say that I think from the fact that the land is in one body and subdivided into 40-acre tracts, should be very much in favor of men making estimates. They can spend almost their entire time estimating, instead of (as in our case) traveling miles from one small tract to another. The particular qualifications an estimator should have is: (1) To be a good com-pass man; (2) to be an accurate pacer; (3) to be a good judge of timber as to num-ber of logs (basis of 16 ft.) that each tree will cut into-the number of such logs, when manufactured, that will make one thousand feet, board measure. To possess this knowledge it is very important for a man to have experience in cutting logs, or working in or about sawmills, or at least to have observed closely the operation of manufacturing lumber from the round log. Educational qualifications need not be great, as many of the best estimators are barely able to make an intelligent r eport. It would seem to me, however, that the chief of a large party of estimators should be an expert, in all that the word implies, so far as it refers to making of estimates and reports of same. As to the number of acres of timber that a man should estimate in one or thirty days, allowance should always be made for the season of the year, amount of tim-ber on land, whether the underbrush is very thick, great amount of fallen timber, or very unlevel land. He should, under ordinary circumstances, make a very close estimate on at least a quarter section each day. In examining or reporting on land for agricultural purposes, the n urn ber of acres so examined or reported '!'IMBER ON 'l'HE CHIPPEWA INDIAN RESERVATIONS. 241 on would depend very largely on the number of holes dug and the depth of same. I think a half section would be a fair dav's work. Yours truly, · A. GowAN. Respectfully referred to the Secretary of the Interior for the use of Inspector J. George Wright. M. R. BALDWIN. DEC. 30. TOWER, MINN., Dec. 25, 1896. Major BALDWIN, White Earth, Minn. DEAR SIR: I see by the papers you are putting up a fight against the estimators from Red Lake. I have some information that may be of value to you, but first of all I had better explain who I am. I am deputy sheriff and game warden at Tower, and accompanied you on your trip to the Indian council at Gheens, and also you went with me to the land office in Duluth to get an Indian's patent, so you will remember me by that. I know a special agent in the employ of the Government now who invested. $1,250 in ReQ. Lake pine. I saw him hand the draft to a noted pine-land man round Duluth land office, and he told me himself that he was on the inside. The estimators had two sets of books, one official and one of their own for private use, and he had a list of good land that would go cheap, and they had formed a pool in Duluth to buy it up and he had put in all the money he could scrape up. I have no personal interest in this affair, only you did me a great favor in Washington when you were there, and if I can do anything in return, I will do so. I would rather not appear in this matter now, but if it is absolutely neces-sary, you can call on me. Any further information you may want l shall be pleased to give. Very truly, yours, ARCHIE PHILIP. Respectfully referred to the Secretary of the Interior for information of Inspector Wright. I suppose the special agent referred to is formerly of the estimator corps. M. R. BALDWIN. DEC. 30. BRAINERD, MINN., Dec. 27, 1896. Mr. BALDWIN, White Earth, Minn. DEAR SIR: If you are anxious to get the public sale of Red Lake lands put one side, you ought be able to do so, if crooked estimating cuts any figure. I worked six months on Red Lake pine lands, and had a partner at same time; and we both worked over 15 years in Michigan at estimating pine: and if you are honest, and are not trying to get money out of lumbermen to hush up, you should be success-ful. Now I will name over some sections, and I will put the price after each sec .. what it cost the lumbermen by the thousand when they bought it at Crookston last summer.

I hear the lumbermen have got the Government patent deeds to the best white pine lands. So the investigation is like locking barn after horse .is gone. You keep honest track what the lands they lumber this winter cut and you can find out yourself. May success be with you, Mr. Baldwin. Yours, truly, CHARLES THORNBURG.
