From present experience, says the

promising for Manitoba and the North
west are az follows: Box elder, vari-
ously known as Manitoba maple, ash
leaved maple and negundo maple, when
grown from Northern seed. These lead
in hardness and general adaptability.
American elm and white ash also do

Another dispatch of the Same date
says: Alarming dispatches have been
sent out from Washington regarding

totally without foundation. There
was no consultation Of physicians this

Warner, Agent IT the Pyramid Reser-

or Piutes, as they are generally called.
are peaceably disposed and the people
are in no danger OF trouble from the
Indians under his jurisdiction. To
this the Journal makes the following
truthful and suggestive commt ntss
captain Warner, who 10 an old Ne
vadan, and . quarter Of q century ago
had several engagements with the
Indians, very we'll knows there are
thousands OF Indians in Nevada who
are not on reservations and receive no
ennuities from the Government.
Many of them are beyond doubt
affected with tho Messiah craze and
liable at any moment to commit
depredstions which would precipitste
q conflict with the whites.
ut should be borne in mind that
white people at times become un-
balanced under 90 called religious
excitement. Last Spring hundreds
of people in the enlightened city of
Oakland, California, became alarmed
at the dismal forebodings of religious
fanatics and left the city, believing it
was doomed to destruction. When
white people, in a civilized commu-
nifty, have their heads turned by the
harangues Of fanatics, Indians, iRno-
rant and untutored, cannot DO ex-
pected to maintain their mental
balance, when one of their head men
claims to hold direct communication
with the Great Spirit and tells them
q Messiah is coming who will restore
to life all the Indians who have died
for generations, aud annihilate the
pale faces"

sevEEa.scoRE OF YEARS
ne Kxtteno Old Ago Of Bomo Southern
California Indiana.

0o0END4A
CallEoRpIA Indians.
The early inhabitants of Southern
California, according to the statement
OF Fl. II. Bancroft and other reports,
were found to be living in Spartan con-
ditions as to temperance and training,
and in u highly moral condition, In con-
sequence of which they had uncommon
physical endurance and contempt for
luxury. This training In abstinence
and hardship, with temperance In diet,
combined with the climate to produce
the astonishing longevity to be found
here, says Charles Dudley Warner in
Harper's Magazine. Contrary to the
customs of most other tribes Of Indians,
their aged were the care Of the COM
munity. DR.. w. A. Winder, Of San
Diego, is quoted as saying that in a
visit to Ell Cajon valley some thirty
years ago he was taken to a house in
which the aged persons were cared for.
There were half q dozen who had
reached an extreme age. Some were
unable to move, their bony frames be-
ing seemingly anchylosed. They were
old, wrinkled and bleaf~eyed; their
skin was hanging In leathery folds
hair as white as snow, and had seen
some seven-score Of years; others, still
able to crawl, but so aged as
to be unable to stand, went slow
ly about on their hands and
knees, their limbs being atten-
uated and withered. The organs of
special sense had in many nearly lost
all activity some generations back.
Some had lost the use of their limbs for
more than q decade or generation; but
the organs Of life and the great sym
pathetic" still kept up their automatic
functions, not recognizing the fact, and
surprisingly Indifferent to it, that the
rest Of the body had ceased to be of any
use a generation or more in the past.
DIR. Palmer has O photograph (which I
have seen) of n squaw whom he esti-
mates to be one hundred and twenty
six years old. When he visited her he
saw her put six watermelons in a
blanket, tie it up, and carry it on her
back for two miles. He is familiar with
Indian customs and history, and care
full cross-examination convinced him
him that her information of old GUS
toms was not obtained by tradition.
She was conversant with tribal habits
she had seen practiced, such as the Gre
nation of the dead, which the mission
fathers had compelled the Indians to re-
linquish. She had seen the Indians
punished by the fathers with floggings
for persisting in the practice of crema-
ton.
At the mission Of San Tomas, In Low
er California, is still living an Indian (a
photograph of whom DR.. Remondino
shows), bent and wrinlxled, whose age
is computed at one hundred and forty
years. Although blind and naked he Is
still active, and daily goes down the
beach and along the beds Of the creeks
in c,arch OF driftwood, making it his
daily task to gather and carry to camp
q fa8. t Of wood.
