NUDGE ROLEN.

JUDGE BOLEN.
Mr.. Bolen thought it evident that no
law that could be passed would stop
popular clamor. Railroads are very
unpopular. The prejudice against them
is great but for all that there are two
sides to this question of determinations
against local business. Very probably
the railroads would have to charge
higher rates for local traffic il they were
not enabled TO carry through freight
even at the low rates competition forces.
They carry the through freight often in
the very same cars with local freight.
lie admitted that corporations were
often inclined to impose upon people
where possible. They will swindle
the people if they can -; but the
people have need Of the corpO-
rations as well as the corporations
have need Of them. 1t is position OF
mutual dependence. Mr.. Bolen OBJ
jected to the Munford amendment be-
cause itput the law in the breast of the
Board instead Of on the statute-books.
The law of discrimination is not writ
ten out. 1t is all with the Board. Be-
fore an ordinary jury the certificate Of
.he Board that a road had dScrimi-
mated was about all that would be ne
cessary to secure conviction of the
transportation company. This he thought
wrong, and it would in the end defeat
the object aimed at. About all the
good that a law can be relied on to do is
to make the Board keep its eye on the
railroad companies and make a report
Of them, and future Legislatures can
then write upon the books the laws
that will correct the evils pointed
out. Instead Of this arbitrary Com
mission, he would have an advisory
board that will point out the evils and
enable the Legislature to take such
steps, put upon the statute-bookS such
provisions Of law, as will compel rail-
road companies to abandon any injus-
tice complained Of.
At > =. VI. the House took its usual
recess until p. NJ. but Mr.. Munford
gave notice that at the afternoon Ses-
siou-usually devoted TO private bills
he would move to proceed with the con-
sidcraton Of this bill.
At the afternoon session .nothing at
all was said about this bill, so the po-
sition of it remains just as when the
House took its recess, and the question
is still on agreeing to Mr.. Stuart's sub
Stitute for Mr. Munford's amendment
the old 18th section.

A Novel Sign.

1t is a unique one that covers almost
the entire front of Maj. Barker's tarading
store. The sign is a painting on canvas
tackled above the awning, and is quite
piece cf work of art, both in design and
execution. The job was done by Mr.
John Salisbury, painter of considerable
talent, as is shown in this pice of work
done in a few days with rough brush.
The canvas on which the sign is painted
is about 6X16 feet in size, in the center
being a painting in various colors of Mai.
Barker's store building, with pictures of
Indians going in and coming out carrying
arm loads of goods. To the right of this
is painted pretty summer scene, consist
ing of an Indian encampment of nineteen
teepees, several Indians standing around,
a lake, in which is a canoe, built after the
quaint Indian fashion, while in the back
ground is range of mountains, covered
with arobe of green. On the left of the
picture of the store is a wintry scene of
an Indian village, lake and some noun
tains. Passing in front Of the store is n
mounted Indian, presumably big chief
carrying his orders fiom camp to camp.
Entering the east side door of the store is
the picture Of large boy carrying wa
ter pitcher, which, we have been told, rep
resents Robert Fraser, the deputy post
master. The sign has attracted consider
able attention among both Indians and
whites. The first day after it had been
put up the small boys of the Agency were
enquiring of their mamas how soon the
circus would come, having mistaken it for
a show bill, while crowds of Fndians
stood gazing at it for hours.
Dir. Salisbury, the painter of this artis-
tic sign. comes from Gainesville, Texas
and parties wanting work will do we'll to
call on him before he returns.

near the river, being too small for the
present garrison, also difficult to reach
when the creek was high, made the
change necessary.

The Agent, Capt. Lee, at his own sug-
gestion. has been granted authority from
the Indian office to found colony of
Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians on the
Washita river, about fifty miles west of
this Agency. Mr.. j. III. Seger, with about
twenty young men of both tribes. started
for there on last Saturday to take prepara-
tory steps. A large body will follow
shortly. Ii can be clearly seen that this
move by Capt. Lee is one in the right
direction toward civlizing and making
the Indians self-supporting, for which
their Agent deserves great credit Mr..
Seger, who is in charge of the colony as
instructor is an old friend OF these Indians,
he having been twelve years among them.
He thoroughly understands how to make
"A success of such an undertaking. The
work will all be done by the Indians
themselves under Mr.. Seger's direction,
and farming will be carried on i'm all its
branches. Each Indian Is to have q small
piece of land to work and will be allowed
all he can raise. The TRANSPORTER will
have more to say from time to time on
Dthis subject.

The Indian farmers living in the vicinity
Of the Agency have been engaged during
the past two week in gathering up and
burning the old corn-staks and other rub
bish from their fields. This is step No.
toward spring blowing, which goes
to show that the Indians are on the right
road to civilization. The burning has
mostly been done after dark and afforded
"a very pretty spectacle for persons out
after night, lighting up the country for
considerable distance around. One
fire i'm the field back of the Arapahoe
school was place of amusement for the
school children, while the heads of the
employees Of that institution were seen
at the windows to likewise watch the bon
fire. To see all this cleaning up makes
one feel that spring has about come.

Yhe old original Cheyenne school buiid-
ing. which has, since the erection of the
present one, been used as laundry for
the school, has been torn down by Supt.
Whiting. and its Old Oaken tim bers utiliz.
ed Tor other purposes. Although small.
the building has quite an interesting his
tory, it being the first school house put up
for the exclusive use of the Cheyennes
We believe Mr.. j. III. Seger had charge of
the first school opened in it, which was in
1873. Prior to this time the Cheyenne
children attended school with the Arapa-
hoe children but soon it became impera-
tive by the willingness of the Indians TO
have their youth educated that more room
was necessary; at the same time the chill
dren of the two tribes did not mingle har-
moniously under one roof. This tempor-
ary one roomed house was built and used
for two years as q separate school for the
CheyenneS, which tribe took such favor
able interest in education that the present
large building had to be built to accom-
modate them. After this the little shanty
at Caddo Spring was used for the school
laundry. But now rart of the material
serves the purpose Of chicken-coOp at
the school, while the remainder of it has
been used in repairing a corn.crib at the
Agency.

The Majors brothers, who were sent
here from Washington by the Interior
Department to survey the east and north
boundary of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
reservation, have completed the work on
the east, and are now at work on the
north line. The 9Sth meridian, which is
the eastern boundary, is located about
two miles east of the Agency. 1t is now
clealy defined by large mounds of earth
one mile apart, and also by marked stones
and oaken stakes buried i'm the ground.
The line was formerly surveyed by one
of the Majors Brothers in 1857. The wire
fence, built two years ago by eX-Agent
Dyer, is very nearly on the line. The

their profession, have travelled the CONT
