MONOPOLISTlC HALF BREEDS.
The Real Owners OF the Lands of the
Five Nations.


Five Nations.
The lands of the five nations are
ostensibly held in common, but as
matter of fact the disproportion in
holdings is monopolistic to a remark
able degree. The real Indian derives
little benefit from his patrimonial
acres. The pale-skinned Jacob has
stolen Esau's birthright. There are
farms rich and highly cultivated,
If from five thousand to twenty
i've thousand acres in body;
pastures of long succulent grass
whose fences horseman cannot
encompass from sun to sun; mines
opulent with their stores of coal; but
they are controlled by professional red
men or the mixed breeds whose dorai-
nant blood is white. 1t is said that
score of Chickasaw citizens, in whom
combined there is hardly enough
aboriginal blood to make full-blood
Indian, control nearly ninety per cent.
of the arable lands of that nation.
A Cherokee squaw man is said to hold
more land than is held by all the full.
bloods in the tribe. Under the tribal
law there is no limit to the extent of a
citizens holding. He can control and
enjoy the usufruct of as much land as
he can fence without encroaching upon
the improvements of fellow-citizen.
AS consequence the national domain
has passed into the possession Of the
more intelligent and cnterprising ele-
ments of the tribe, the inter-married
citizens and mixed breeds, who con-
stitute probably four-ffths of the
population. These landlords, many of
whom operate on a scale colossal
enough to make the estates of the land
barons of the old world seem mere
truck patches in comparison, utilize
white non-citizen labor in the cultiva-
ton and improvement of their vast
farms. The Indian agricultural toiler
is an anomaly, and negro labor is I'M
common. As rule, especially in the
opening up of new farms. the tenant
not only furnishes the labor, but the
improvements also, under an annual
retail contract based on a share of the
crop.-Rezin W. McAdam, in Harper's
Magazine.

Mr.. William d. Eaton, one of the
founders of the Chicago Herald, is re-

Logan and his preparation for a
speech upon the tariff question. Mr..
Eaton says that Senator Logan deter
mined to devote some time and study
to the question so as to be able to dis
cuss it when the Morrison bill reached
the senate. Logan accordingly sat
down and wrote note to the librarian
of congress as follows:

lection, free-trade. etc, you may happen to

Salaries OF Foreign Diplomats.

Zach one Of the foreign ministers In
Washington city has crowd of fol-
lowers, or secretaries, clerks or at
taches. These are generally young
men, AID inasmuch as they are away
from home, far, far away, they usually
live quito fast life; and occasionally
some of them come before the police
court for drunkenness. But the major
ity of them are bright, respectable fell
lows. All of them come of good fam
ilics in their own countries, and many
of them are undergoing an education
which will make them ministers later
on. As general thing these young
men do not receive high salaries and
many OF them live in cheap boarding

houses. Some of them in this manner,
by their surroundings, not only live
cheaply, but learn vernacular English
more completely than they could in
any other manner. They have to make
close contracts with the Washington
boarding-hOuse keepers.
There was one young baron here in
Washington few years ago who lived
in a sky parlor AID took his breakfast
of rolls and coffee in his own room.
He usually saved more than half OF his
dinner bill by accepting invitations to
dine with his friends.
The foreign ministers, who are at
the head of the legations, usually re-
ceive large salaries. The British am
bassador, for example, occupies one Of
the handsomest and largest houses in
Washington; house which probably
has as many rooms in it as the white
house. He has liberal allowance for
his expenses in entertaining his diplo-
matte guests, and receives a salary Of
$4,000 year. The representative of
the German empire gets salary of
S40,0 600 year, and his nation owns a
house here. The French minister gets
a salary equal to that which is paid
to the president of the United States'
namely $50, 900. All of these gentlemen
live in fine style, and seem to be so
well cared for in the matter of money
for incidental expenses that they do
not really care for the value of penny
or a dollar. The republic of the United
Stares is probably the only nation
upon the face of the globe which is
actually stingy with its foreign repre-
sentatives.

Especial Washington Letter. ]

Mr.. William Amin. of the Salt Lake
Tribune, says: 1T makes me exceed
ingly weary to have people speak of
the American girl in derogatory terms.
No man who has travelled and seen
anything of this world at all, if he be
n man of ordinary intelligence, can
underrate the girls of America. The
American girl has been preached to,
prayed for, urged forward, warned
back, idolized by poets and caricatured
by novelists. Nevertheless she stands
forth before the whole world the most
useful, ornamental, most independent
young creature of them all. In the
countries of the old world it is a we'll
known fact that any girl who is to oc-
cupy high place socially and politi-
cally must be coached and formed
from her infancy. In America she
grows in garden of girls, each and
every one of them subject to the same
conditions; and she rises upon the
wheel of fortune to the greatest
heights with a dignity and grace as
admirable as it Is wonderful. Only a
few years ago, a schoolgirl with only
the training which is given TO thou
sands of schoolgirls like her, became
the bride of the president and won the
plaudits and love of all the old society
bellies and beaux as well as the women
of the entire nation. She was not an
exception to the rule, but will venture
to say that there are not less than
twenty-five or thirty, maybe fifty,
thousand girls in the country, who
would show the same good sense and
grace of manner under the same or
similar circumstances; and probably
be considered just as beautiful"

OFFICIAL GRIST.
Col. E. Fl. Bergman Elected as Super.
intendent of the Penitentiary
Capital News Notes.

A genuine surprise in official circles
was developed to-day when a telephone
message from the peniJentiary announced
that Col. E. H. Bergman had been elected
by the commissioners to succeed John R.
DeMier as superintendent of that insti-
tuition.
When the commissioners met at 10
o'clock the general impression was that
there would he no change in the manage
ment. There we're present Messrs. Fl. H.
Belts, R. A. Baca, 0. A. Hadley, l.. e.
Reed, j. L. Lopez, Thos. McQuiston and
N. B. Laughlin, a full board. After
the approval of the monthly accounts.
Mr.. McQuiston re-nominated Supt. De
Mier and the nomination was seconded by
Mr.. Belts. N. B. Laughlin nominated
Col. Bergman and j. j.. Lopez seconded
the same. The vote stood: For DeMier,
Messrs. Belts, Hadley and McQuiston; for
Bergman, Messrs. Laughlin, Baca, Lopez
and Read. Col. Bergman was therefore
declared elected as superintendent for one
year from May I'd next, which happens to
! be just one year to the day from the time
he was retired to make room for Mr..
DeMier.
The commissioners will be IN session
several days to let contracts for supplies
for the coming six months.

AHustler's Great Work

Chas. w. Greene, former managing edi-
tor of the New MEXICAN, is now presi-
dent and manager of the Bear Valley IT.
rigation company, and will make his head
quarters at Redlands, California, indefin-
iUely. He is developing at that place a
model irrigation enterprise that controls
the water supply of the towns of Redlands,
PERKS and Allesandro as well as that of
thousands of acres of most valuable citrus
land. 1t is in San Bernardino county,
and the Bear Valley reservoir is located
in the San Bernardino mountain range,
northeast of and $500 feet above the city
| of San Bernardino. By the construction
of sixty foot dam the waters accuInula-
ting over watershed of seventy
square miles, or 1920 acres, are utilized,
besides what it is proposed to contain for
conveying the waters of the upper Santa
Ana and Whitewater rivers to the reser-
voir The present capacity of the reser-
voir is 40.040 acre feet, or water sufficient
to cover 40,040 acres, a foot deep. As
the water is now distributed, fully 60,
600 acres can be irrigated from the Bear
Valley reservoir without in the least tax
ing its capacity. For purposes of distri,
button the reservoir company has main
canals and pipe lines over ninety miles
in length, which convey the water to the
Redlands, Highlands North San Bernar'
dino, Allessandro and Perris districts
where it is further distributed in laterals
to the consumers. These mains, com.
bined with the distributing laterals, would
make pipe and canal system of several
hundred miles, and when it is stated that
many of the mains are twenty-four to
twenty eight inch steel pipe, some idea
of their capacity is given. The success
of the Bear Valley system has been SO
great and the demand for water is such
that plans were begun two years ago to
increase the capacity by building new
dam ITO feet in height just below the
present dam. The work on this structure
Is now in progress, and when completed
the Bear Valley reservoir will hold 461,-
$50 acre feet of water, sufficient to irri-
gate 100000 acres through two dry sea-
sous, should such requirement be made.
