The locomotive which brought the box car
down had passed and the box car was to

the locomotive. After the locomotive had
passed. the walkers stepped back onto the
track. approaching . sharp curve Miss
Mccormick was little deaf. and did not
hear the car approaching. She heard her
friends calling to her and turned around
just as the car came upon her, the blow
crushing her skull.

CHIEF SIMiTKEN AN0RY.
A Colville Tyee May Lose . 700.AeP>
Ranch by surrey Of Reserve.


ALMA. June 2s.-TSpeciai. l-Simitken, .
sub-chief of the Colvilie Indians, passed
over the river here today on his way to
Conconnully, where he goes to give vent
to his wrath and find. if he can. sympathy
through some legal adviser. As the gov
ernmept surveyors work westward from
the Columbia and draw near Omach lake
it is evident that the ceded portion Of the
reserve will include nearly all Of the
ranch. consisting of 700 acres claimed by
the chief. and as the government will allow
only eighty acres to each Indian, Simitken
is consequently much stirred up over the
prospect of losing the remaining go acres.
Other Indians. also. who expected the
south line to DO six miles north of the one
now being established are being disap-
pointed in this way. and probably there
will be considerable trouble before the sur
veys are completed.

BEGINNING with a class of a dozen
Students, the Lawrence scientific
school, a constituent part or Harvard
college, is giving instruction in road
engineering. 70 fit them to take
charge of the construction of roads
the students will receive instruction
in civil and mechanical engineering,
TO the point where they can be
trusted to plan and build bridges,
make good plane-table survey with
contours, determine the nature and
probable usefulness of the various
rocks with which they will have to
deal, and care for the somewhat COM
plicated machinery, such as steam
crushers and rollers, which are re-
quired in the construction of good
roads. Besides the engineering they
will be expected to acquire a knowl-
edge of geology taught in the field
and of chemistry where the instruc-
zion is by well-directed laboratory
practice.
