In fact, two years ago, Major Scott, the acting Indian agent, suc- ceeded in securing from the Indian officials .an appropriation of money with which to purchase supplies for the Indians. These conditions are decidedly changed, at the present time. John T. Frater, Indian agent, states that the Indians of the Red Lake band are especially comfortably fixed. They have been given two large payments this fall, and will undoubtedly be given another before spring. While there was some ‘“blow- ing” of the funds among certain of the rads, they ware not allowed. to gamble', and for the most part - | purchased clothing:and -snpplies with their funds, “Many of them ; received large amounts’ from these payments and have heeded the advice of Mr. Frater and deavoring to outdo each other,| J°bnT.
