Chances.
DEADWOOD, S. D., Dec. 14.—A num
ber of members-elect of the legislature
met In Deadwood this week for the Work
of the coming session. One of them ex
pressed himself as follows relative to the
senatorial light:
"There will not be a single Black
Hills Republican member of the next
state legislature who will vote other
than for Gamble for the senate. .. The
most of them have already pldeged them
selves in the matter, either to their
friends who elected them or by letter to
Congressman Gamble himself. I have
this week received a letter from Mr.
? Gamble, dated at Washington, which
states that he now lias the personal
.. pledges of ninety members-elect Speak
ing for Lead Republicans, I can say they
do not waul any more of the Kirk Phil
lips reign. Mr. Phillips will go to Pierre
for the special purpose of defeating the
election of Gamble. If he should succeed
Republican politics of the state will be
- back where they were two years ago,
when Mr. Phillips ran for governor.
There is but little doubt that the plan at
that time was for Phillips to get the
election for governor, whirl, would then
open Hi.* way for Kittredge to the sen
ate. Republicans, especially of this city,
are opposed to the election of Kittredge,
if for no other reason than that it would
mean the placing of the patronage in
the hands of Kirk Phillips.
"Personally, 1 believe that a great deal
of this talk about the election of any
cither candidate but Gamble i- merely for
the purpose of getting lie names of cer
tain men prominently before the eyes of
the public for the senatorial plum two
years henece. when Senator Kyle's term
expires. Out of all the members from
•the Black J!ills there is. possibly, one
doubtful one, and he is in such a po
sition that the other members can bring
him into line. I predict that Congress
man Gamble will be nominated on the
first ballot."
HOUSE I UtGANJZATTON.
REDFIELD, S. D., Dee. 14.—11. S.
Packard, a representative from Spink
county, says he is not personally so much
interested in his chances for speaker as
he Is in bringing about the i rgan:za
tibn of the house by Its own members,
independent of outside influences. If this
is accomplished, Mr. Packard claims it
will be the first time since South Dako-
ta was admitted to the Union. The plan
of organization which he outline, is
«- commendable, and it seems hardly pos
sible to defeat it. Letters from about
seventy-live membei s have been received,
showing strong sentiments favoring this
reform movement, which, if successful,
may land Mr. Packard |if the speaker's
chair. But, whatever the result, Mr.
Packard will be satisfied, as the speaker
ship is not the paramount Issue in his
Regarding the senator. Mr. Packard
says lie is not in any way pledged, but
thinks the sentiment of Spink county, as
well as of the slate, is for Gamble; that
the contest in the last campaign was
practically between Gamble and Petti

looked at them, but they were not strong
enough to win out.

OF RESERVATION

:'.*-, ■ .'-'■'-. ' AAAA[A"y:.

Nature of the Land and Other
--. • • Facts About It Are
Set Forth.
THIEF RIVER FALLS, Minn., Dee. 15.
—(Special.)— Thief River Falls Com
mercial club has prepared the following
memorial and sent it to congress:
We, the undersigned citizens and busi
ness men of the state of Minnesota, re
spectfully pray your honorable body to
take such action as may be necessary to
secure the opening for settlement and
cultivation of the rich agricultural land
lying within the counties of Polk, Red
Lake and Marshall, in the state of Min
nesota, now reserved for, but adandoned
by the Red Lake band of Chippewa In
dians, and being the western portion of
the Red Lake Indian reservation.
And we do herewith set forth the fol
lowing facts and conditions which lead
us to make petition as above:
SITUATION.
The portion of the reservation is in the
form of a wedge, with its base at the
Beltrami county line on the east, bounded
on the north by the reservation line and
on the south by the Clear Water, river,
with the apex at the Thief River falls,
Minnesota. The Red Lake river flows
from east to west through the middle of
the tract, and is navigable between Red
lake and Thief River Falls.
The lands in question comprise about
eleven townships, or 253,440 acres, more
or less, sufficient to provide farms of ICO
acres each for about 1,584 settlersA-.
The land is slightly rolling prairie, ly
ing high above the river, with groves
of mixed hardwood and poplar and a belt
of similar timber along the river bank.
The soil is mainly. A 1 farming land, and,
with a trifling amount of drainage to the
river, every acre of it would be at once
fit for the plow.
About twenty Indian cabins are located
at wide intervals along the north bank
of the Red lake river, accommodating
fifty Indians during the coldest of the
winter; at all other times these cabins
are closed and boarded up, as is the cus
tom of the Chippewa, and the Indians
lead a migratory life, living in tepees and
seldom remaining over one week at a
place. "'-y-yy. 7V-77
COMPARATIVE POPULATION.
There are not to exceed twenty-five
males of voting age upon the one-third
of Red Lake county occupied by the In
dians, or less than one to each 10,000
acres. (There are no Indians living
upon the small portions of the reserva
tion which lie within Marshall and Polk
counties.) The, vote of the Red Lake
county, outside the reservation, at 'the
last election was 2,100, or one actual vote
for each 220 acres. --. .v. •-,*
A most liberal estimate of the Indian
population in Red Lake county could not
exceed seventy-five persons, the white
population of the same county by the
census of 1000 is 12,195. . " .:. -.! - - : :
This open country, is devoid of game,
and the rivers are by no means so pro
lific fisheries as are the waters of Red
lake and' its tributaries. It is therefore
apparent why the Chippewas prefer the
timbered country about the lake, which
is full of big game and valuable fur-bear
ing animals, and which yields them a
livelihood by hunting and fishing and an
additional revenues from successful trap
ping.
The Indians who are now occupying
the western, portion of the reservation,
surrounded by whites and cut off from
the main portion of their band and the
restrictive influence of the agency by ihe
heavy swamps lying west from Red lake,
are in a deplorable state of moral and
physical degeneration. They contract
all the vices and none of the virtues
of the race by which they are surround
ed and have become a prey to their ap
petites for aicoholic stimulants and per
meated with filthy diseases.
EFFECT OF RESERVATION.
The damage to the fine agricultural
property directly north of the reserva
tion, by reason of its being close to
settlement is incalculable. The most de
trimental features of the situation arc
three in number.
First—These lands are mostly Hat, and,
although lying well above the river]
ditches are imperatively necessary at cer7
tain seasons of the year to assist the
natural water courses in carrying off
surface water. The narrow strip of for
bidden territory lying between this sec
tion and its natural drainage outlst, Iced
Lake river, renders it impossible of
drainage and greatly retards the devel
opment of this rich farming country.
Second—The reservation lands, aban
doned by the. Indians (except the north
bank of the river), and entirely unculti
vated by them, are covered with pools,
which collect the surface water and form
natural breeding places for numberless
myriads of Hies and mosquitoes, which,
a; certain seasons, .spread over the sur
rounding country in dense clouds. Stock
raising would be a highly profitable oc
cupation were it not for this pest of in
sects, which discourages cattle raising in
the vicinity.
Third—The geographical situation of
this portion of the reservation is such as
to cut. off a large number of farmers
from their natural market and to com
pel them to haul their crops to more dis
tant shipping points or make long and
unnecessary detours. The unimproved
condition of the roads across the reserva
tion renders them impassable, except un
der most favorable circumstances, and
the hostility of the Indians when in an
intoxicated condition, which is frequently
the case, makes hauling across the res
ervation a dangerous enterprise.
ATTITUDE OF THE INDIANS.
The agency Indians, at the present
lime, look with suspicion upon the move
ment for the opening of the reservation;
while making no use of it themselves,
they are keenly alive to the value of the
land, and fear being deprived of ii with
out adequate remuneration.
The white-- of the surrounding terri
tory, [while equally cognisant of the value
of the ia. Ed for agricultural purposes, do
not so much wish the land for their own
holding as do they desire its opening to
cultivation and settlement under any
conditions which may be suitable to the
government and acceptable to the In
dians, to the end that this tract of waste
land, which extends into, and divides, a
busy community, may cease to be a clog
upon the wheels of progress and an act-'
ual damage to surrounding property.

Sioux City Plant of the Interna

SIOUX CITY. 10., Dec. 14.—John S.
Goodwin, of Chicago, counsel for the
Bank of Montreal, says that the Sioux
City plant of tire International Packing
company will not close down. "It will
be seen, I think," said Mr. . Goowin,
"that the bondholders have been crowd
ing out the small share holders. When
the process of elimination has taken
place, the bondholders will take hold of
the property of the company an.], the
Sioux City plant will continue in opera
tion. My belief is that the Chicago plant
will not be reopened for some time. It la
probable that the business of the com
pany will be directed from the Sioux City
office, In other words, that Sioux City, in-,
stead of Chicago, will be the head
quarters of the company. ;":-:.:.-.
