The Future of the Local
Indian School,.
improvements COntem-
plated and in Progress
By Which it is to Be Made
Equal to the Carlisle School
Wonderful Success Attending the
Work of the Recently APP
pointed superintendent.

The new superintendent has taken
charge of the Indian school. He is H.
Hall. Although he claims Carthage,
Missouri, as his home he has lived
there but little during the last five
years. having been engaged most of
that time at different Indian agencies
in the west. He was for a long term
connected with the Pine Ridge agency
in South Dakota and was later at
schools IN Indian territory and Oklaho-
ma. He is pleasant faced and agree
able gentleman of about SO or "a years
of age and Immediately impresses you
as bringing to his work here good
natural tact and judgment as well as
experience in the work.
He said yesterday that everything
was found here in good running order
The pupils are he added better trained
both boys and girls than any he has
ever met. They are surprisingly faith
full, being the only Indian boys be has
ever met who would go about their
work of their own accord and accomplish
anything without being closely watched.
Their physiques also are far above the
average of Indians in other states and
territories. The boys are nearly all tall
and straight and strong and the girls
robust and vigorous. Physical defects
among them are very rare, the contrary

boys and girls in the school here, it is
the intention of the government to en-
large its capacity greatly, and to make
it equal in every respect to the noted
Indian school at Carlisle, Penn. As
there are probably more Indians in
Arizona than in any other state or terri
tory, it seems but right that this should
be great center of their education. 1t
will be remem bered that about a year
ago serious outbreaks were almost pre-
cipitated in the northern part of the
territory because the parents of the
Indian children were unwilling that
their offs oring should BE- taken east to
be educated.
Here this cause of dissatisfaction is
easily averted. 1t is common sight to
see dilapldated team driven by an
aged buck accompanied by a wrinkled
squaw arrive from quite a distance TO
visit their boys and girls at the school.
Col. P. T. Faison, United States In
dian inspector, was at the Institution
last week upon an official visit and ex
pressed himself delighted with the
situation and highly advantageous sur
roundings for the proposed extension OF
the school. He will recommend that
the $4,000 which has been recently ap-
propriated for the purpose, be at once
expended in erecting an $4,000 school
building, $4,000 dormitory and ST.
900 workshop.
A highly pleasing feature of the con-
duct of the school is the character Of
its instruction which the scholars re-
ceive. They are not taught to play the

THE SUGAR BEET.
A Subject of Inquiry for the Ex-
detrimental Stations.

A Subject of Inquiry for the Ex-
perimental Stations.
The prospective profit in sugar beet
raising in the Salt River valley has
long been subject of conjecture. All
the conditions of sugar beet growing
seem to be favorable yet so far no one
has cared to engage IN the business.
And here come subject of complaint
against the agricultural department of
the university whose two experimental
stations located in the valley have yet
failed to throw any light On the matter.
A gentleman who has been observing
the work of the experimental stations
since they were instituted says that re-
suits derived from them have been far
from satisfactory.
They were founded at the expense of
the government for the purpose of de-
which could be raised in the valley with
the greatest profit, yet no intelligent
report on the result of the investiga-
lions carried on there has been submit
ted for the benefit of farmers. 1t is also
a matter of complaint that the stations,
however, scientifically conducted do not
compare in appearance with the average
farms in the same neigh borhood.
1t is suggested that the question Of
sugar beet growth be given a thorough
investigation at the stations.
The comparative proitableness of
nearly every agricultural and horticul-
tural product has been pretty well de
termined by private investigation, still
the sugar beet leaves the experimental
stations an excellent opportunity for
scientific inquiry.

WHO HAMSTRING IS.
An Effort to Allay Alleged Curiosity
at Yuma.

An Effort to Allay Alleged Curiosity
at Yuma.
"Billy Waddles" NEUROLOGICAL char
acter alleged to reside at Yuma and
purported by the Gazette yesterday
morning to have communicated with
that excellent journal concerning guher-
Material and other matters is alleged to
have remarked incidentally:
"There is curiosity here in political
circles to know who the man "Ham
string" is, and the author of those
Jimmy Hamstring" letters. Ii it is
Armstrong, the governors private
secretary, he had better lie low, for it is
said here that he has only been in this
country from Ireland about three years,
and is not a citizen of the United
States"
Since the Gazette neglects to allay
the curiosity supposed to be rampant at
Yuma concerning 1.-The man Ham
string" friend of the subject OF
curiosity takes occasion to inform Mr.
Waddles that he is partially correct in
his surmises. The friend admits that
"the man Hamstring" is none other
than Mr.. John Armstrong, the ac-
complished private secretary to Cover
nor Hughes. He further admits that
Mr.. Armstrong is an Irishman by birth
but AYERS that since Mr.. Armstrong
was not responsible for this early incl
dent of his existence it ought not be
imputed to him as a crime. He is a
newspaperman by profession and saw
service in London before coming 10
America. He arrived in New York
just when the friend does not know but
believes subsequently, to the expulsion
of the aboriginal inhabitants and other
early settlers.
He was engaged short time on the
metropolitan press after which he re-
moved to Chicago where he took out his
first naturalization papers. Some six
months ago he came to Arizona in a
private capacity to the governor and
according to the laws OF the territory
is entitled to a residence therein similar
in every respect to that enjoyed by the
suppositious Mr.. Waddles and the more
real Pima and Apache Indians.

AN ice GORGE
Stops the Flow of Water in the
Florence Canal.
And Breaks the Meteorological Mo-
notony Which Has Prevailed
in Southern Arizona.

Judge Kibbey, who has recently re-
turned from Florence, describes
meteorological phenomenon near there,
which Notwithstanding its extraordinary
character, bias singularly not been previ-
ously reported. About three weeks
ago violent hail storm ragged through
the south eastern part of the valley,
extended over the Pinal mountains,
but spent its greatest force in the Casa
Grande valley. Thousands of tons of
icy bullets ranging in size from q quail's
egg to hall or three quarters of an
inch in diameter fell along the course
of the canal above Florence, and were
swept by the food toward the canal and
were lodged in the water course. A bove
that point the storm tore out the banks
of the canal. Repairs were made i'm
mediately and water was turned in, but
a most extraordinary thing transpired.
three quarters of a mile above Florence,
an ice gorge was formed of the ac-
cumulated hail-stones, which so thor
oughly damned the flow of the water
that other breaks occurred in the
banks. The gorge was about seventy
feet in length and of depth OF four or
five feet. The ice remained in the canal
ten days, and half the population of Flo
renee and vicinity turned out with gunny
sacks and other similar receptacles and
carried away a large quantity OF it.
That it should have remained so long
unmelted is accounted for bv the fact
that it was partially covered by leaves
and dirt which had been washed over
it by the food which immediatel sue
ceeded the hail storm This is the first
instance on record of an ice gorge in
Southern Arizona and is all the more
wonderful that it should have occurred
at this season OF the year.
That such an unexpected incident
should have interfered with the opera
tions OF the Florence canal accentuates
the recent demand of the Farmers
Protective Association of the Casa
Grande valley for the appointment of a
receiver for the canal company. 1t is
sale to predict that under the judicious
management Of Maj. T. D. Hammond
there will be no more ice gorges in the
Florence canal.

This Fish Goes Hunting.

The jaculator fish, the piscatorial

mouth as squirtgun, and is marks

lake or pond filed with specimens of
laculators: place stake or pole in the
water with the end projecting from
to feet above the surface, place a
beetle or fly on top of the pole and
then await developments. Soon the
water will be swarming with finny
gunners each anxious for a shot at the
tender morsel which the experimental
has placed in full view. Presently one

up as long as the supply Of beetles and
flies holds out.

piano, not to paint flowers or any other
impractical nonsen Sc. Besides the
usual elementary and in some cases
fairly advanced studies of the school
room proper. the boys are taught farm
ing, shoemaking, carpentry and other
useful trades. The girls are taught to
sew by hand and upon the machine,
and how to wash, iron, cook and per-
form every kind of homework. Every
day six girls are on duty in the sewing
room and 16 in the laundry. In this
way under the direction of competent
seamstress and laundrywoman all the
clothing which the girls require, is
made as we'll as washed and ironed.
Each boy has one white shirt and it
is their greatest delight to put it on on
Saturdays, when a certain number are
allowed to visit the town. They make
their toilets carefully not forgetting to
set out invariably with as bright a
polish upon their shoes as they can i'm
pose. The fact that less than five
minutes on the always dusty road can
cells this labor never deters them from
repeating it before each trip.
Mr.. Hall is ably seconded in his man
agement of the school by his young
wife, who has also had previous ex-
perience and who holds the position OF
matron. Mrs. Hall takes a deep in
terest in the welfare of the girls and is
anxious not only that they progress in
knowledge, but also that they make so
as good an appearance as possible and
is never tired of trying to instif into
them properly womanly pride in max
ing themselves neat and attractive.
One cannot witness the enthusiastic eff
forts of the new managers without be-
ing willing to predict great improve
ments and bright future for the
