LOI THE RICH INDIAN
THE FIVE NATIONS ARE PROSPEROUS
AND PROGRESSIVE

The CheroIxees, Chickasaws, Choctavrs,
Greeks and seminoles Of the Indian Ter
ritory Are Progressing Rapidly In the
Arts Of Civilization.
Judge Holman thinks the Indian
question is settled at last All the tribes
are located where they want to be. All
are at peace, and their young men are
inclined TO remain so, and civilization
IS extending among them all OF all the
Indians in United States territory two
dfths are quite civilized, as many more
partially SO, and Tut one-fifth remain
outright barbarians- It is as yet impos-
sible to tell from the eleventh census
the exact number Of Indians in the
United States. but it is certainly less than
200, 600. and even when all the in
truders, negroes and other nominals,
are included. the number scarcely ex-
ceeds that.
'Intruders" is a general name given
to white men who have in various ways
gained a dOmicile among the civilized
tribes Of the Indian Territory, and, ac-
cording to Superintendent Porter 8
agents, there were 100, 1913 Of them in
1890 and only 90. 055 real Indians But
it is extremely difficult TO get a full
census of the latter They are suspicious
Of every move made by agents Of the
government and evade all questions

ROME CITY, Ind, Nov. 1.-All the
world is informed concerning the mar
velously beautiful collection Of islands
in the st. Lawrence river and at the
foot of Lake Ontario, known as The
Thousand Islands, but few people out
side the Hoosier State have ever heard
of Indiana's thousand lakes Yet they
are here, and. like the famous islands,
there are more than /, 600 of them
They are SO small, however, that they
are not to be found On any but the very
largest maps, and this and the fact that
the world Of sportsmen has not yet
learned of their excellence as fishing
grounds accounts for their being so lit
tie known
Some persons would undoubtedly call
them ponds. for only a few Of the lar
gest are more than 100 acres in extent,
while from this size they grade down to
ten acres. They are all within the boun-
diaries Of five Kosciuszo, La
grange, DeKalb, Steuben and Noble
312 Of them being IN the last named,
and so isolated are they from the river
system of the state that many Indian
ians even have never heard of them
In many particulars they resemble the
famous groups of lakes in Orange and
Sullivan counties, N Y, and Pike and
Wayne counties, Pa Like them, these
Indiana 1ake1ets are really great springs,
with water OF crystalline clearness and
bottoms of fine white sand There are
no mountains or hills about them, how
ever, although they are located in the
highest portion of the entire state.
There are no other lakes of any con-
sequence anywhere in the state. Sylvan
lake, the largest, is five miles long and
about mile wide, but it was enlarged
years ago by dredging, in order to serve
as a canal reservoir In all of them the
small mouth black bass Is found in great
numbers, and it is claimed that larger
fish Of this variety have been caught IN
these lakes than anywhere else in the
United States. d. A.

The figures on the cost of civilizing
these five tribes are startling. The Unit
ed States has paid some $25, 600, 600 on
their account and is still paying over
$500, 900 per year. Yet it is a simple
business transaction, and the Indians
realize much less on their property than
other landlords. At the start the gov
eminent inaugurated a system Of not
paying the Indians cash for their lands,
but giving notes-that is, the money was
put in trust funds, and the Indians get
the interest and now the principal and

vfoIinist Ludwig BIeuer-
A little German is dangerous thing,
as Rev. Duncan MacGregor found out
few days ago. AT the n ational hotel he
sat at the table with Herr Ludwig Bleuer,
the famous viollnist, and the other men,
bers of the Detroit Philharmonic club
Sam Radges also sat at the same Ia bic.
The gentlemen became well acquainted.
The morning after the concert Herr
Bleuer asked Mr. MacGregor how he
liked their playing.
Zach, Herr" he replied, sit was aus
gespielt"
Herr Ludwig looked offended, and it
took Mr.. MacGregor only 2 few moments
to see that he had made mistake IN his
German. He meant TO say ''ausgezeich-
net" ssmost excellent" or IN a broader
way, 'out Of sight"
