Indian Schools.

The Indian school at Car
Isle, Pa, has fully demonstra-
ted the possibility of teaching
Indians to become skilled in
mechanics and agriculture.
To apply this knowledge, how
ever, it is necessary for these
Indians to remain within the
limits of civilization for an in
definite length of time, as to
return to their tribes, is to
subject them to an environ
ment of Incidence and unthrift
the inevitable result of which
is to counterfeit the work of
the school. 1t is said that
there are now about 600 young
In d ians scattered about
through Pennsylvania working
on farms. A few years of cx-
perience of this kind might, if
it does not wholly unit them
for association with their peo-
pie, fit them to return to the
reservations, take lands in sew
crafty and become prosperous
farmers upon their own ac-
count. Certainly the life of
an educated Indian among the
whites must, as the years 60
on, become unsatisfactory,
since it must be devoid of So
cial and domestic relations
that alone give a man an in
centlve to persistent, honest,
cheerful endeavor, while to
return such an Indian to tribal
relation would be cruelty
second only to the return of
Indian girls. who have been
taught the ways of housewife
cry, neatness and thrift, to the
filthy wigwams or nalodorous
huts of their race.

~4HO'S RESOURCES.

The members of the senate
rial irrigation committee, be-
ing interviewed about the arid
lands in Idaho, gave the fol-
lowing interesting information
In Idaho the committee
learned that there were over
900 separate irrigation canals
now in operation, with a total
length of main line of 1900
miles Besides this the later
;als measure many hundreds of
miles sin addition. In that
at.of the great Boise valley
which is comprised within
Ada county two great canals
are now under construction,
with,a main line length of $50
miles and laterals of nearly as
much more. There are nearly
half a million acres of land in
ACTUAL cultivation, all of which
~ in the highest state of pro-
ductiveness. 1t is estimated
that some 6.250,OOO acres in
Idaho oaa be supplied with
water at a cost not to exceed
.$l.OO an acre. There are no
great engineering difficulties
to encounter, and the whole
OF this area of fertile soil can
be readily brought under Gull
tivation. Under the extreme
ly liberal basis that forty acres
of irrigated land will support
a family as well as 100 acres
that are not irrigated this i'm
mense territory of arid land
would furnish l56, 25O families
with homes. The families
would represent a population
of 7Sl.250 souls. But with
the requisite village and town
population this number would
be doubled. Upon the Callfor-
mia basis of twenty acres of ir-
rigated equaling LOO acres of
Mnirrigated lapd, there would
be just twice as many home |
.steads and double the popula-
,tion. The six and a quarter
million acres is worth now not
to exceed 80 cents an acre.
Much oft is not worth a cent.
but with water supplied at ST.
AN acre the value would be at
ieast $25 an acre, which would
amount to the enormomus to-
tai of $i50,25O,OOO. At the
minimum California valuation
Of $50 an acre for the irriga-
ted land, the value of the g.
100000 acres of Idaho land to
be supplied with water at a
cost not to exceed $6,550,0OO,
would be $3l2,500,OOO.
All the irrigation works yet
in Idaho have
been by the individual efforts
OF the farmers who utilize the
water. The system of supply.
as can be imagined from the
great number and compare
lively small extent, have been
comparatively costly. 1t is
estimated that the average ex-
pense to the acre of land now
under cultivation has been not {
TO exceed $3.50. Of course .
when large canals are carried
put as proposed, the average
,ost would be greatly lessened.

there was no such thing as mail in
California. Letters came struggling
by chance ships from China, Valparaiso,

at Monterey in May of the following
