It did not take Mr. Gaudet long to realize, after studying the document, that a trust had been |cfeated and that it had never been administrated. Mr. Gaudet looked up the lands mentioned in the will and found that the Government had sold lthem to a large number of lntii-vi- dauls and had issued Government deeds to those individuals.

Wards of Government The Indians. Mr. Justice Arsen- auit told the Guardian represent-l- tive. are wards of the Dominion Government. Their affairs are ad- ministered through an Indian agent-now Mr. James Dalv of Iona-—actin.<: under instructions of tho Department of Indian Affairs at Ottawa. The Indian situation. Mr. Justice Arsenauit said has been going from bad to worse for some ycnrs past and they have been neglected both materially and spiritually, M-eny of them 'l'e in rl-ccipt of monthlv rations from the Der-artrncnt of Indian Affairs but ihfl allotments are altogether inadequate i0 their needs. Want of ssh and tvhito manic woods have prevented them from making and selling baskets and if it were not for the charity cxienrlcd them by the whites. a number oi‘ them would have starved. However, Mr, Justice Arsenault said. some progress has been made to better tile Indiins‘ condition. The Department oi’ Indian Affairs had purchased Hog Island which is adjacent to Lennox Island am‘ several hundred ash trees had" been planted on it.
