REPeRT Of INDIAN CoMMlssloSKR,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.-The annual
report Of the commissioner of Indian
affairs was given out for publication to-
day. The Commissioner attributes the
delay in the settlement of accounts to
the excess Of machinery in use; favors
the system OF purchasing annual sup
plies BY inviting sealed proposals. but
Asserts that the law in reference to set
Ting accounts ought to be changed.
The object OF the government is to
transfer these uncivilized people into
peaCeable, industrious and Law abiding
citizens, and for this purpose system
has been devised. good in many respects.
but In its operation mistake which, if
not corrected, will in his opinion pre-
vent for generations the accomplishing
of good which might otherwise be reach
ed in one decade: He says:
II an agent is unfit for his place he
ought to be removed from his place at
once, but it requires as much machinery
now and frequently more than it does
to appoint minister to the court of st.
James. Within the last year seven en-
tire months were consumed in making
such a change at one of the agencies
where any correct business man would
have made it in less than seven days.
He suggests that capable men should
be selected as agents, and paid 5000 or
$4,000, instead Of the average salary of
$500. The religious societies during
| tie year have expended for educational
and missionary purposes $2l6, $50. He
favors placing the Indians upon one
reservation.
The following table shows the loca-
ton of the several agencies and the
population.

The Boise Statesman says: No com
promise of any nature has been entered
into by the Oregon Short Line and the
Navigation Company. The letter som
pany has within week past surveyed
and staked of grounds for depot IN
Baker City.
The Oregon Short Line reached Po-
catello (the Utah Northern crossingt on
the 18th of October. Westward a. far
as Boise City the construction camps
are stretched out, in many places in
sight Of each other.
The distance from Pocatello to Gran
ger is 191 miles.
On Thursday last the sale Of lands for
depot purposes was consummated, the
citizens OF Baker paying Mr.. Stewart
81 go for the ground and presenting It
to the q. b. i n. Co. This action defl-
nitsly settles the depot question.
Over i've hundred Cinnamon are now
at work on the o. Il. & N. Co.'s road
near Snake River, and three hundred
more are daily expected.
Thousands of ties for use ON the
Wood River branch Of the Oregon
Short Line Railroad are in q drive
down Wood River.
Mr.. Campbell, bridge engineer on the
Short Line road, Is busy making sound
ings and getting everything in readi-
ness for building the bridge across
Snake River. This bridge is to be CON-
pleted and ready for use by the first of
August next. Those in position to
know claim the road will be graded,
and ties and rails laid to Snake River BY
the time the bridge is completed.
From Omaha west, by the way Of
Granger on the Union Pacific, to seven
teen miles west Of American Falls, cars
are running on the broad gage road.
Last Monday $50 men commenced to
lay rails seventeen miles west of Ameri.
can Falls westward, and have contracted
to lay about forty miles a month. At
the rate they have been laid and will
continue to be, the track will be complet-
ed and cars running to Shoshone City
in fifty days.

LOYAL. W <fO,SO<
The Commissioner recommends strin-
gent legislation regarding the sale OF
whisky to Indians and tho protection OF
timber on Indian lands. Regarding the
right Of railway through Indian reser-
vatiOns, the Commissioner says:
The Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway
Company has paid into this department
for the use of the Sioux Indians the
sum of 1891 partial payment for right
Of way. The balance is payable after
tho company shall have constructed 100
miles Of road upon the reserve. By a
supplemental agreement the company
agree to pay for all Improvements Of
individual Lower Bruls Indians falling
within the limits of said section, such
amounts Of compensation as may be
awarded by commission. The total
consideration for lands taken by this
company on the Grow Creek reservation
IL 81, 424.7O.
He has no information that the North
ern Pacific Railroad has yet paid the
$25, 900 for the right of way through the
Grow reservation. He is much Rratified
with the progress of educating and CIV
ilizing the Indians, and refers at length
to the Indian schools, but says the ap-
preparations for educating Indian youth
are inadequate. Exclusive of the five
civilized tribes the whole number OF
Indian pupils attending school the past
year has been 1908. OF these 468 were
in attendance at the Carlisle, Hamilton
and Forest Grove raining schools. OF
the remainder 1910 attended reservation
boarding schools, and 1858 reservation
day schools. The average attendance
for the year was 5,49.

A REPUBLICAN LEGISLATURE.

The Puget Sound papers, of Republi-
can tendencies, are urging the voters to
elect none but Republicans to the Leg
islature. This advice is given particu-
larry to the voters in counties where" In
dependent" and Peoples" tickets have
been placed in the field. A careful ex-
animation of these tickets reveals the
fact that on each of them the Democrats
have secured the candidates for the
Legislature, while Republicans have the
Sheriff and Auditor. At first glance
this looks az though tho Republicans, by
receiving the Offices Of profit, had OBJ
tanned the best of the bargain. 1t is in
sisted, however that the Democrats are
playing for q higher stake than the
county offices. II is highly probable
that q bill for tho admission Of Wash
ington into the Union as State will be
passed before the Foyty-seventh Con-
gress closes its sessions ON the Sd of
March next. Il Is claimed that II Con-
Rrees docs pass the bill that the men,
bers Of the Legislature to be elected
next Tuesday will elect the first Senators
for the new State. Admitting that tho
next Territorial Legislature will elect
the first Senators for the State
Of Washington il follows that
II the Democrats have ma
iority of members in that body that the
Senators from the new State will not
be Republicans. In this statement OF
the situation il found the key to the
WILLINGNESS of the Democrats, in every
county where an independent" or
sPeoples" ticket il IN the fieldgto give
the Republican discontents the offices
Of profit while they take the offices at
profit while they take the odices of
honor Councilmen and Representa-
tiveo. The way 70 prevent this danger
i 70 elect the Republican nominees.
In urging Republicans to vote for
their Legislative nominees the OLYMPIA
Courier advances . very good argument
when il says: "There Is reason 10 hope
that IL Washington Territory goes Re

SHADOWS.

A burst of golden sunshine,
A whispering of the leaves,
A muslc-ripple on the brook,
A Joy, wonder in each nook;
A sweeping shadow DER the land,
A flushing of the tree-tops,
A crlmsoning of the lake,
A peaceful mildness in the air,
A thought Of hidden mystery there,
A glorious fading of thesun-
A summer day Is done.
A Joy in childhood's plsythings,
A casting them aside;
A fash Of golden.y youth hoods hour,
When JOY breaks through the passing
shower:
A castle building in the air;
A cherished hope defeated;
A smile, Joy, Q doubt,
A CLEAN reflected from the past:
A sigh upon its bosom cast;
A mystery Of world unknown;
And then-e soul has flown.

LIABLE TO BUR2T.

Some bumptious bum with more magma
ton than brains, and more wind than either,
makes the Bege0a's article OF last week the
text for 4 bombastic communication 10 the
Topeka capital, in which Newton and her
new congressman are eXtolled and Wichita
beiittled. Among other things, he says:
The Wichita Beacon in n recent editorial.
says in substance that a deadly struggle is
already inauguTated between Wichita and
Newton for supremacy in the Arkansas Val
ley, and virtually admits that Newton .has
the pole in the race. While We don't think
the struggle need be deadly We endorse the
balance OF the statement, and believe fur
ther that the pole horse will win the race"
All we have 10 say to that writer and to
Newton and to everybody else is that the
Beacon in that editorial did not reflect the
sentiments Of single Wichita man outside
its editor. Wichita has never viewed New
ton ia the light OF rival any more than
Newton might consider Walton a rival. The
thing H. ridiculous. Wichita entertains 30
fear of Newton nor Of any influence she may
hope TO WELD politically or otherwise. As
an evidence Of the correctness OF our eonclu-
sions, we need only mention the fact that
Newton's heaviest capitalist has been trying
to purchase valuable property this week in
this city.
