A curious industry of North Dakota.
which will decrease in time. is buffalo
bone picking. The vast herds of buffalo
have been slaughtered and their skins
sold, and now the pioneers make mcr-
chandise of the bones scattered over the
prairies. The bones are shipped to st.
Louis or Chicago and turned into glue
and fertilizers. Kansas, Colorado, Ne
braska and even older states have all
been the scene of this strange contribu-
ton to wealth, and no one knows how
many thousands of carloads have thus
been CLEANED after the slaughter of the
American bison.

testified for the defense. He lied
repeatedly to the lawyers who came
to see him and he confessed In court
that he had lied He swears that he saw
only the back of the man who ran up the
steps. He said that man 5 hair was black.
He swears the other man faca was clean
shaven, and yet he comes in and swears
that the black-haired man is Coughlin and
the other is kunze. The man told the
truth when he told me that he eouldn t
recognize the man. and he lied In court
when he told different story. He said
that the night was an inclement one. and
that he held an umbrella over his
head. Then he comes In here and
swears that it was clear. Do you feel
certain of the truth of this mans story?
If he had seen the men in plain daylight,
without any particular reason for remem-
ber1ng the faces, this ignorant, stupid man
would not have accurately remembered the

NOT VERY FORMIDABLE.
Secretary Tracy Doesn't Think That Our
Navy Amounts too Much.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The secretary
of the navy In his annual report to con-
gress says that the effective force of the
navy when all the ships now authorized
are completed will be IL armored vessels
and 81 unarmored He says that the
country should maintain navy for de-
Tense and that while public policy and
economy demands that the force shall be
as small as is consistent with its object,
yet he feels impelled to reco mmend 20
new armored ships which shall be the best
of their class, 8 for the Pacific coast and
II for the Atlantic He advocates the
building of these vessels and 10 more for
coast and harbor defense as soon as posi-
ble Then as fast cruisers are demanded
in the proportion of three to each battle
ship the secretary would have provision
made for so of them, also number of tur-
pedo boats. Fast merchant vessels
capable of being turned into cruis-
ers in time of war are regarded
also as necessity. A plea for the force
necessary to man the feet is also made,
and that no sailors shall be enlisted ex-
cept American citizens or those who have
declared their intentions to become citi-
zens The secretary advocates the con-
tract system of building vessels, rather
than building in government yards. The
estimates call for appropriations amount
ing to S25, 500, 252.79, decrease from last
year of 81 ,168, 023 95; but this does not in
clude appropriates for the new vessels
recommended for the navy.

WINDOWS MODEST WORDS
Secretary of the Interior Makes His
Annual Report to Congress.
In Which He Casts Reflections on Past
Administrations.
IRE ats of Lumber Cutting On the In
dian Agencies.

WASHINGTON, Dec 2-The secretary
of the interior. In his annual report 70
congress, chronicles as the most note
worthy events of the past year the OPENING
of Oklahoma, the successful negotiation
of the treaty with the Sioux Indians for
a large part of their reservation and the
admission of four new states. He esti-
mates the present population of Oklahoma
at 90 800, with % schools, 80 churches and
% newspapers. A territorial system of
government is recommended. By the
Sioux treaty, 5000 900 acres will be add
ed to the public domain for actual settlers
only and new land offices are required
The work of the census bureau will REQUIRE
about 45, 900 men for the collection of data
and statistics, and should the names of
surviving veterans of the rebellion be
published it would alone take eight vol
umes of 900 pages each.
There are 1901 applications for pat
ents, designs. ETC., during the year, and
22,941 agricultural patents were issued.
There were 20, 141 agricultural patents is
sued, and the number of final entries dis
posed of during the year reached $4,000
The secretary modestly thinks that in the
land department there is a great i'm
provement over former methods and
greater regard for the rights of settlers.
The Indian question is treated at length
as regards the agencies, schools and reser-
vatlons. Reference is made to the system
of allowing Indian timber in the La Pointe
agency In Wisconsin to be cut by white
labor, and the report of the agent is quoted
In which the statement is made that as
long as the Indian can get money without
work 1t Will be squandered In liquor and
gewgaws. The secretary concludes that no
logging on reservations ought to be allow
ed but by the Indians themselves.
As to pensions a complaint is made that
The previous administration was economic
al on estimates and prodigal on payments.
whereby deficiency was created which
might produce unfair comparison between
the two administrations if the cause were
not so easily detected The report de-
mands an appropriation of $97,2lO, 242.
''that liberal and legal payment may be
made to all deserving pension
ers of the public Dependent
pensions and the continuance of
a widow pension to the minor children of
the soldier without further proceedings are
recommended. The difficulty with Tanner
is reviewed at length, and determination
is expressed to recover for the'government,
all money illegally paid out in re-rating
pensions. The claim is set up that the
law as it now stands holds desertion or
dishonOrable discharge no bar to pen
sion, and asks that the matter be rene
died by new legislation.
The principal increase in estimates is
for pensions and public works, the former
exceeding the appropriations for the pres
ent year by $8,827 ,8l6, and the latter by
