The Fish Trail from hioat;o to northern Wisoousln, um tif the first uiHoinobilo trails that were blaxed by wealthy sportsmen when the automo bile was a luxury, runs through this reservation, This summer a Monominoe Indian, hearing of an automobile camper in the reservation beside this trail, who wns caught in tho rain, with iuade quato shelter, removed the tarpaulin from his threshing machine to ketp the camper dry ami warm. No tlpn wvre Involved, but simply nu act of courtesy These are tho Menominee of today, whose hlKtorloal character was des crlbed in a Washington Indian ser vico report thus: "A woods Indian, Vn Menominee wns a striking figure, generally six feet and over in height, a giant in strength; few in number compared with other great tribes, their bravery and fighting qualities enabled them to hold their own with surrounding tribes. Their word once given could be relied upon. Communal System Tried The federal government Is working out an experiment with these modern Menominees, by trying to develop them through the tribal, that Is the communal land holding systom, that k now a rarity in most countries. Among most American Indian tribes Communal land ftotdlng has been Abolished through acts of congress piloting 4ho land?. I Tho work nmong the Menominees b under the direction of Superintend ent Edgar A. Allen, of Keshena. The reservation, in northeastern Wiscon sin, covers an area of approximately f ighteen miles by twenty-four with a population of about 1.S00 Indians, whose communal holdings total 231, 000 acres, a large portion of It in timber. Superintendent Allen's days are full of variety. Ono opened recently with a request by an Indian for a carriage harness. "You do not need a carriage har ness," replied Mr. Allen. "You are operating a farm and I am not going to give you a requisition for some thing to take you away from it." "But I can't farm without a har ness." "You can have a harness, but you cannot use a carriage harness for plowing." Indian Have Many War Veterans . Later Mr. Alltn led a decoration day parade. Tho Menominees still have nine living civil war veterans and twenty volunteer veterans of. the World' war. loiter In the same week he took Mr. George Vaiue, of Phila delphia, tine of the Indian commis sioners holding presidential appoint ment, to Inspect the farm of a Me nominee who has put 100 acres under cultivation, and has more than a dozen men working for him, Including a few whites. This Menominee is the most successful farmer on the reser vation, the example of what the gov ernment Is tryijna to do.- for those 'who would succeed; -the tribal system of land holding is a potential dis couragement, because when the lands aro alfoted there is no assurance that an Indian will receive that which heather son, Wayne, is already noted iiua ueveiopea, or even as mucn. mis communal system furnished a fund to help support those members of the tribe who are helpless, or so unskill ful as to be unable to support them selves. Each Indian receives alt the profits of what his own enterprise produces, bet tho forest lands pro duce a community fund. This usu ally is smalt, the last allotment from It having been ten dollars a head for a year.
