injury to the interest OF these sections.
1t is impossible to say what motive
prompted the reports, which
principally came from w men who
have not visited the reservation and
who are unacquainted with the situa
ton. Deputy United States Marshal
Matthesen arrived at Deadwood from
Pine Ridge and Rosebud agencies,
where he has been among the Indians
for two weeks. He has Jurisdiction

CATTLE FOR INDIANS.
The Government vii, Try to Mako Cow
boys of the sioux.

boys of the SIOUX.
AFTER years of experimenting and
the expenditure of u mint of money the
Interior Department has finally hit
upon a plan which will make it posi-
Bile for the Sioux to accumulate prop
crty. Years OF hard work and thous-
ands of dollars have been expended in
vain efforts TO make farmers of them.
About the extent of practical results
along this line is that the majority of
the Sioux plant a patch of ground
about the size of an ordinary white
farmers struck patch.e This Is
planted on Il piece of .'breakins'' to in
sure it against weeds and the fruit
thereof is seldom allowed to arrive at
maturity. Corn is picked and either
eaten or dried while yet green. Seed
potatoes issued by the government
usually find their way into the pot in
stead of the ground. Sq%uashes, pump
kins, .mel0ns, turnips. beets, etc, are
likewise dev0ured, while yet green,
with q gusto which makes one shudder
with grave apprehensions for the flu
ture usefulness of the red mans eter-
nal economy. Turning from this un-
prepossessing picture of Indian hus-
bandry there is another class of mixed
bloods, who actually produce some
wealth by farming. They have a few
cows and q small herd of ponies and in
q certain measure might be termed
prosperous. However, the vast major
lty of Sioux Indians depend solely upon
their regular allowance of beef and
other rations issued by the govern.
ment, and might SO continue indefi-
nitelv in the same old u were it not
for the new plan which is being
adopted. This Is to exchange the plow
for the shepherds staff. by this it is
moi mean that they will not be en-
couraged to till the soil in the future
the same as in the past. but that
greater efforts will be directed toward
getting them to properly care for the
stock which the government proposes
to issue to them than will lie made in
the line of farming. 1t will be borne
in mind that all the great Sioux rcser-
vations are located In the finest graz
ing sections of the northwest. Here
luXuriant and nutritious buffalo grass
grows as it did when it furnished food
The year around for countless herds of
