Long, one of the special assistant attorneys in the legal department at Washington, has been on the White Earth Indian reser- vation collecting evidence for the in- stitution of suits by the United States government against a number of lum- ber companies which have been operat- ing there. In these suits the government will claim that the timber men have been cutting timber bought from Indians who are not of age and from full- blooded Indians. No mixed blood who is not of age, or any full blood, has a right to sell the timber alloted to him, this property being held in trust by the United States. It is believed that many lumber companies have been making sharp bargains with per- sons whom the government regards as incompetent to manage their own af- fafrs, The suits will be tried in May in the | United States circuit court at Fergus Falls, as the White Eerth reservation is in that district. . The cases involve timber lands worth $5,000,000.
