voice.
He filled the lamp of the cooker and took

BILE burner of the heater. As he opened the
door the lamp fickered. It was in its last
gasp, Nervously he applied the paper. His

'lNdian Enterprise.

The Inyo Independent says: The
Indians about Big Pine are entitled
to great credit for the efforts they
have made to secure an education for
their children. Several months q
they raised d sufficient subscription
among themselves to buy lumber
enough for a good-sized building.
The whites assisted TO raise the build
ing and did the carpenter work, and
now a uice little schoolhouse near the
Big Pine District school stands a
monument of their efforts in the cause
OF education. Last year they sub
sCribed enough money 70 hire a
teacher and maintained a school for
several months. 1t is quite likely
that the enterprising natives will re.
ceive Government ,assistance, as An
official visited Big Pine last week,
add it 'is said that, he will report
f~avorably. 1t is to be hoped that the
assistance will not amount to inter-
ference, as an Indian does best when
left measurably to his own devices.
