Selkirk, Man., July 24. Judge Cor- bet Locke, of Morden, presided this afternoon over the first meeting held on the St. Pater's reserve by the com- mission appointed bp the Manitoba government to inquire into the sur- render of that reserve to the Dominion government. The two other commis- sioners Judge R. H. Myers and Judge L. A. Prud'homme were both present. H. W. Whitla was present as counsel to the commission, C. P. Fullcrton as counsel to the Indians of the reserve. and A. J. Andrews as the legal repre- sentative of several purchasers of St. Peter's reserve lands. The school house where the sitting' took place was filled with St. Peters Indians, expect- ant to the las-t man that In some way or the other the commission would be able to procure for them further moneys as the result of the surrender and sale of the reserve. James Per- kins Is secretary to the commission. Proceedings Are Brief. The proceedings were comparatively brief, and consisted for the most part in the submission of plans and docu- ments. L. S. Vaughan, Selkirk, regis- trar of the Wsgar district, submitted a series of plans covering the St. Peters reserve. H. W. Whitla stated to the commissioners that G. M. Matheson, custodian of records, had come down from Ottawa with a number of docu- ments bearing on ihe surrender ar.d sale of the reserve. in the circum- stances he asked for an adjournment until 2 p.m. tomorrow to allow of a selection being made from the docu- ments. This was done, and subse- quently 5fr. Whitla and Mr. Fullerton examined the documents and selected those which they deemed relevant to the Inquiry. Juri*diction Challenged. A. J. Andrews, Winnipeg, represent- ing purchasers of St. Peter's lands, contended that as me lands in ques- tion were Dominion lands as distinct from provincial lands, the commission had no jurisdiction over the real property involved. Further, Mr. An- drews contended that sales by Indians of lands alloted to them at the surren- der of the reserve were sales between private individuals, and that, as the commission had no power to bind over, it could not make an investigation into such sales. The commission agreed to hear Mr. | Andrews further on Saturday next, when be will amplify his objections to (Continued on PlLge Seven.) AGREEMENT SIGNED C. P. R.

der of Indian Lands,

AUTHORITYISQUESTIONED

Ail Commissioners are Present and

School House is Filled With

Expectant Indians.

Selkirk, Man., July 24. — Judge Cor-bet Locke, of Morden, presided thisafternoon over the first meeting heldon the St. Pater's reserve by the com-mission appointed bp the Manitobagovernment to inquire into the sur-render of that reserve to the Dominiongovernment. The two other commis-sioners — Judge R. H. Myers and JudgeL. A. Prud'homme — were both present.H. W. Whitla was present as counselto the commission, C. P. Fullcrton ascounsel to the Indians of the reserve.and A. J. Andrews as the legal repre-sentative of several purchasers of St.Peter's reserve lands. The schoolhouse where the sitting' took place wasfilled with St. Peters Indians, expect-ant to the las-t man that In some wayor the other the commission would beable to procure for them furthermoneys as the result of the surrenderand sale of the reserve. James Per-kins Is secretary to the commission.

Proceedings Are Brief.The proceedings were comparatively

brief, and consisted for the most partin the submission of plans and docu-ments. L. S. Vaughan, Selkirk, regis-trar of the Wsgar district, submitted aseries of plans covering the St. Petersreserve. H. W. Whitla stated to thecommissioners that G. M. Matheson,custodian of records, had come downfrom Ottawa with a number of docu-ments bearing on ihe surrender ar.dsale of the reserve. in the circum-stances he asked for an adjournmentunt i l 2 p.m. tomorrow to allow of aselection being made from the docu-ments. This was done, and subse-quently 5fr. Whitla and Mr. Fullertonexamined the documents and selectedthose which they deemed relevant tothe Inquiry.

Juri*diction Challenged.A. J. Andrews, Winnipeg, represent-

ing purchasers of St. Peter's lands,contended that as me lands in ques-tion were Dominion lands as distinctfrom provincial lands, the commissionhad no jurisdiction over the realproperty involved. Further, Mr. An-drews contended that sales by Indiansof lands alloted to them at the surren-der of the reserve were sales betweenprivate individuals, and that, as thecommission had no power to bind over,it could not make an investigation intosuch sales.

The commission agreed to hear Mr. |Andrews further on Saturday next,when be will amplify his objections to

Last night's Frame provided asmuch excitement as- either of its prede-cessors. Elmwood were set to face astrong sun and wind, and a.esp te tillsthey rushed down and scored in the flrstfive minutes through T. Dale. Norwoodresponded with a good one soon after.Some pretty combination was shown byboth teams. The frame wa.<= anybody sright through, each team paying repeatedV|=HB to their opponents' goalkeepers.Half-time arrived with no further scor-ing. Elmwood had a little the best 6fmatters in the second half, but were re-ptatedly pulled up for offside. No scoringwas done In this half, and Interestingsame finished up with the score one all.Referee Davidson controlled tho game mhis usual efficient manner.

Indians Have Deteriorated.St Peter's Indian reserve adjoins

the town of Selkirk, and runs thencefor several miles on both

„,„..., e Red river. Al though In-dians and' halC-breeda have been l iv-ing there from the earliest times, thereserve was not actually created u n t i l1871 It was set npar\. *s one ot theterms of the Stone Fort treaty nego-tiated in that year.

Dur inK recent years it has hecorru: Imore and morp evident tha.1 tho Hi .Peters' hand is suffer ing from closecontact with the white man. Thequestion of removing the band was.for this reason, considered by thi: Do-minion government as -long ago as11)00. TJio majority of the residentsof Selkirk have been anxious for yearsto sec the St. Peter's I n d l a n R trans-ferred to a more, distant reserve.

Government Takes Action.In 1906 the Dominion ^-".c-nmont

took action by appointing Chief Jus-tice Howell, of Manitoba, a commis-sioner to consider, among other things,the advisability of transferring thoSt. Peter's band. On his recommcn-mendation a surrender of the rescrvr'-was obtained from the Indians. Aportion of the reserve—about half-was conveyed to the Indians on a fx-icapita basis, and the other half -w; t!sold at public auction for their benclli.A new and much larger reserve wasprovided for the hand on Fisher r iver ,near Lake Winnipeg. Up to r in ' i .about one-f i f th of the band has br-c ntransferred to its new home.
