MAJOR POWELL has prepared for
Congress a sensational, but, it is
claimed, accurated report on the COM
paratively small amount Of arabic land
in the Union now owned by govern
ment. In the humid, or arabic belt,
east of q line from the eastern point of
Lake Superior to the Gulf, he says the
United States own no lands not taken
up. In the sub-arid division, $50 miles
wide, to the west, the United States
own a considerable quantity of land,
which may be cultivated by irrigation.
West of that, in the immense arid belt
extending from the Rocky Mountains
into Eastern California, only per
cent. of the land can be cultivated, and
OF this much has already been pre-
empted.

THE WAYS OF INDIAN AGENTS
and other attaches of the Department
of the Interior .re not always as smooth
as some people imagine. The new
agent at Poplar Greek is finding that
"dark ways and vain tricks" vet
abound among the untutoTed sayages.
In other ~ords, M.jor Bird, the agent
at Poplsr Greek, having imported fine
riding buggy for his private use, has
been much surprised at the free msaner
in which "BIack Catfish" we'll
known warrior Of the Yanktons, has
seen fit to appropriate the same to his
own use, and the Major has been some
what of the opinion that the manners
Of the Indians at the. agency partake
somewhat too much Of the free and
easy style. The Yanktons are by no
means despicable tribs, and if they
are melted to reoellious acts, would
perhaps prove rather hard subjects to
handle. We understand that Medicine
Bear, the we'll known chief of this
tribe, has made some complaints con-
corning matters Connected with his
tribe, which he deemed worthy of con-
sideratioH. Black Catfish Is the head
fighting man, or head warrior, OF the
tribe.
