Commissions Meet.
We call attention to the' notice
issued by President Morrison of
the General Council of Minnesota
Chippewa Indians to the Execu
tive, Legislative, and Claims com
mittees for a meeting at Bemidji,
Minn,, on Tuesday, November
20th, 1917, at 1 o'clock P. M.
All these committees have im
portant measures to consider and
formulate, and it is expected that
clear aud decisive understanding
will be reached, and a strong
course mapped out for the delega
tion that is to visit Washington
this winter.
The members of the several com
missions from this reservation
should go to the meeting im full
accord upon proposed measures to
be presented to Congress and to
serve well our local reservation
interests.
We have members of this reser
vation who are personally interest
ed in some matters that are ex
pected to be considered, and we
hope that these individuals will be
dealt justly with by the gentlemen

of the commissions.
There should be a full attend
ance of the commissions and each
individual from each reservation
should feel the obligation resting
upon him to secure a full attend
ance.
We Chippewas of Minnesota
have a very important case in hand
in the injunction suit now pending,
and the decision of the court may
have a very important bearing up
on the business lying before the
legislative and claims commissions.
