Indians Operate a Logging Plant in Wisconsin
Menominee Indian Reservation in Kesheya Wisconsin hosts a government run north woods logging camp with a mill valued at about a quarter million dollars. Since 1914 it has generated over two million dollars in tribal profits used to fund enterprise and training for Menominees. The 227000 acre tract uses 30 miles of railroad with Neopit as rail head. Supervisory staff includes Edgar A. Allen and G A Gutehes. Indian workers may become jobbers, with government backing to start small ventures and build ownership. Washington maintains oversight, and profits are distributed by Congress, ranging from $10 to $300 per head in different years.
