MeCarthy Says Winnibigoshish In | dians Can Make Big Money. | pean The Evening Herald of Duluth contained the following interesting in- jterview with one of Grand Rapids’ | prominent citizens on Wednesday of {this week: “C, C. | Grand Rapids, prosecuting attorney jday ondus way home from the ‘Twin Cities. Mr. McCarthy has acted as \ attorney for a number of the Indfans jon the Winnibigoshish reservation, | who have taken logging contracts un- der the dead and down timber acts, and since they have begun work, has visited a number of-their camps. Te ja Herald reporter today he said that Jabout 25,000,000 fect, of logs will be |banked” during the winter, nearly, if not quite, ll of which will be bought | by Lee West and Clark Clay, Minne- apolis lum sermen, who wi'l pay from $4.25 to $5 50 per thousand feet for |tvem. In speaking of the reports which have been circulated that the Indians are nut domg the work on the'r coniracts, Mr. McCarthy said: ‘There are scarcely any Indians on the reservation who are competent to fill ja logging contract.. They do not iknow how to run lines for roads, build camps and cut logs to advant- age. ‘They cannot act as foremen, aud a logging crew composed entire- ly of Indians would not succeed in getting out many logs.” ‘Fhe Indians employ white men to take charge, and they work under them in.their own conwacts. As the Indians who have undertaken these contracts have neither money nor horses nor equip- ment of any kind with which to do the work, the lumbermen who con- tract to buy the logs of them advance them $1.50 a thousand with which to begin the work and fit out their camps. They buy supplies for them almost exclusively from the wholesale dealers in Duluth, and. sell them to the Indians at exactly the original cost. ‘he indians haye every op- | portunity of making money from their contracts, and their interests are care- fully protected by the government. Every dollar that 1s reccived by the Indians for the logs is spent nght there, and’-the men working in the woods get'rid of their money about as fast.as_ they earn it, so that the ex- tensive logging operations makes busi- ness good. It the Winnibigoshish In- dians would be industrious and take care of their money reasonably well they would bein affluent circumstances Many parts of the reservation present the appearance of an old farming couniry. For great distances hay !stacks..can be seen in every direction, jthe hay havimg’ been cut during the Fearne: This. finds a ready thagket with the lumbermen, and every ten. it is worth fram $10 to $12, affording alarge source of revenue to-the In- dians. Mr. McCarthy said it was ee that 50,000,000 feet of logs would be cut on all ef the reservations in the northezn part of the state” Rocking. horses, doll cabs, sleghs. and toys of every description at Finne- gan’s Drug Store.

The most remarkable thing that has taken place in Minnes ta politics for any years IS the altempt now Leing lmade by a few papers and poliucians {to create a senuument of opposition in he ranks of the Republican party to State Auditor (vunn, anent the brave | Position he has taken concerning the igantic corporations of the state that | five so long escapd taxation, It is the more remarkable because of the influence that has been successtully ‘exerted among a class of papers from lwwhich more houest sentiments expressions might be looked for, ‘The Duluth Herald was one of the first in this part «f the state to oj~ | pose the policy of tie auciter in his j determined sta'd to make the milion- aire mine owner and the plutocrauc pine baron pay the same p ice into the public treasury that is exacted house and lot. He went int) st. ij ouis county aud raisea the t:xes on tron mines alone two hundred and tended a like i: flucnce throughont the states We would naturally expect papers in Minms t—judging tom the position whes ‘itherto taken im defend the state auditor against the his character and maligne him into po- htcal oblivion. But on the contriry our! esteemed Duluth nomesake appears to have subimiticd it elf to the caresses of Rockefeller’s agents and, hke many; another fair and foolish one, aban-| doned home and” virtue for the wages | of sin. This, to be sure, is none of | our fight. The iferald Review be-: \Hieves that in the great rank and file! of th: Minnesota Democracy there} aresmany men who could accomplisi all that the present auditor has added to his credit, aud yet in all fairness) every citizen of the state should en-| dorse Bob Dunn and deiend the} course he has pursued. — In the legis- Isture four years ago Mr. Dunn raised | his voice and set his face hke flint} against the state robbers, and his hon- | est purpose was rewarded by his elec- tion to the office he now holds. It was through the efforis of the country | press and the c mmon peojle that his; nomination and ciection was made; possible. Having farthtully discharged | the grave responsivilities that were} thus entrusted to fim, the sane pot | ent factors shou.d redouble their effurts | In conversation with a promment Republican of Itasca county the other | day a Herald-Review man ventured | to ask what the result of the opposi-! tion to Bob Dunn would be in the next state convention of the party. “There will be no results,” he replied, “Jf Dunn wants a re-nomination he can have it, Dunn was nominated in op- tion to the same influence that 1s stil} opposed to him, and that didn’t seem to cut any figure. Ihe Repub- ican party can’t afford to defeat him, and uf it undertook the job the from the laberer who owns only a} }fitty thousand dollars and he has ex- | the Duluth Heraid to be one of the! matters of similar imp ori—ihat would | TT am sustaining the interests ofthe state. | party would certainly suffer no small loss to the entire ticket ” This ptper doés not feel that. the re-election of Mr. (vunn is a n-cessity by any means, but it does feel that the people of the state cannot afford to permit the great corporations of Min- nesota to exert a controlling influence in the counsels of any party for the purpose of stablishing and per- petuating unjust taxation.
