"Many farmer who calls himself enter
prising and who does raise good crops
fOrgets that with few hours work he
could plant dozen trees that would
greatly enhance the value of his estate
and yield blessings of beauty long after
he had passed away. If the father can
not spare little land for a lawn, or a
flower garden, if he cannot give the boys
n little time and some encouragement
thrown in, to care for them and add to the
looks of his home, if he thinks of nothing
but the cows or the cornfeld, he must not
be surprised at being left alone in his old

Dr. Juneman, an American chemist,
has invented what he says is the most
destructive fluid known to man. This
fluid, when brought into contact with the
air after the explosion of a she'll in which
it has been held, becomes gas which des-
troys all living things within its reach,
melts iron and other metals, and sets
everything inflammable on fire. 1t can

few years all will be self sustaining
and require but little assistance from
the government. Many are located on
farms, have good fences and comfort
able homes. They are improving their
stock of horses and an increase is
shown in their cattle herds Crime
among them has decreased during the
last two years, or since criminals of
some classes are turned over to the
territorial courts for trial. The old
superstitious ideas Of the powers pos
sessed by Indian doctors to ta-mah-na-
wis Indians still prevail to a large ex-
tent, and the killing of Indian doctors
is not regarded by them as a serious
crime. Murders of this class are still
committed, though, through fear of
trial by white men for such crimes,
derous remedy. Two murders of this
class were committed on the Yakima
Indian Reservation during the year,
and the murderers, in both instances,
have been turned over to the district
court for trial. These murderers were
taken by Indian police and delivered
to the keeping of the sheriff at North
Yakima; this without any resistance
by any Indian on the reservation.
This circumstance will indicate the re-
spect they now have for the white
mans law. The morals of Indians
living on reservations are improving,
while those not under the restraint of
reservation rule and who make their
living by working for and among
white men, are but little improved over
their condition while in wild state
The Indian population, SO far as l can
Judge, has not increased in this terri
tory during the year; the deaths out
number the births. This is true of
this (Yakima) reservation, and it is a
fair one to compare with others"
