maining to be sold, and also including the proceeds of 

 land taken by homestead settlers at $1.25 per acre, it 

 would seem that the Chippewa Indians in Minnesota 

 now have or soon will have a permanent fund of ten 

 million dollars, upon which the United States is pay- 

 ing them five per cent interest; and this, it must be 

 understood, after paying all expenses of handling and 

 disposing of the land and timber. They have many 

 good farms, many good school buildings and schools; 

 and their condition reflects honor upon our government. 



TENTS AND CAMP SITES 



By A. WOODS TRAMP 



THE size, make and material o the tent is also of 

 much importance. These matters are, to some 

 extent, matters of taste. Personally, I have found a 

 seven by nine, silkolene wall-tent by far the most use- 

 ful, and I rarely use any other. It is roomy for two 

 people and their equipment, and three persons may use 

 it with comfort. 



This kind of tent, for some reason, is seldom carried 

 in stock by dealers. Mine was made to order and cost 

 with sod-cloth and fifty feet of gable rope, about ten 

 dollars. It has been through much rough service and 

 has withstood some of the worst storms and rains I 

 ever experienced ; it has practically required no repairs 

 during five seasons of use and is still a good tent. It 

 rolls into a very small pack and weighs complete less 

 than ten pounds.
