In his report to the department, Indian
Agent Mclaughlin, of Standing Rock,
states that the Sioux of various bands at
the agency number 1885. They have
1900 acres under cultivation, and raised
the past season about 5000 bushels Of
wheat, 10000 bushels of corn, $4,000
bushels Of oats, and 16, 900 bushels Of po.
tatoes, besides other grams and roots.
The Indians cut 1900 cords of weed and
earned about $4,000 freighting supplies
from Mandan. They own $500 horses
and 4, ,0C0 cattle.
The brace of journalistic freaks who
''edlt' the Winsna TIMES, the concern
that "lunked" and ate its words during
the recent political disturbance, can't for
give the REco1D for contributing to their

chase money has all been squandsred,
and hence they are sour. The cold winds
of winter, toe, will soon be blowing,

Winter before last we used some Of the
Brindle Mine coal shortly after it came
out Of the ground. 1t was damp and
not entirely satisfactory as fuel We are
now using coal from the same mine, dug
last winter and seasoned under shed. It
burns well and throws out much moro
heat than the present brand of weather
demands. There Is as much contrast be.
tween the freshly. mined and the dry lig-
mite as there IS between green and dry
cottonwood. The winter supply of this
coal should be procured IN the spring or
summer and put under shelter. Thus
treated, it will give satisfaction every
time.
