tribes thus TO dispose of their sur
plus lands, 1t is proposed 10 en-.
able individual Indians to dispose
OF their allotments in severalty,
when and to whom they choose.
One result of this will doubtless be
to convert into citizens the thous-
ands who have now been adjudged
intruders, and permanently to en-
body in the tribes class OF peo-
pie who, by long residence in the
Indian country and associations
with the people are readily assimi-
liable, il not now assimilated. The
adoption of this policy will newt
ably result in gradual but sure
intermingling of the whites and the
Indians under conditions of COM
mon citizenship of the republic
and of reciprocal, instead OF antag-
onistic interest
Fourth-The Indians will be
advised to part with the title in
fee to towns and townsites in the
territory to the end that the head
system may be wholly abolished
and that rights of complete owner
ship may accrue and be transfer
able. Upon such members of the
several tribes as remain hostile

must result from the changed ten

est value.
INDIANS MUST MAKE THEIR CHOICE.
Such, in brief, are the features
of the governments policy with
relation to the Indian question of
the Indian Territory during the
next two years. The reorganized
Dawes commission will present it
to the several tribes successfully
and more fully. 1t lies within the
power of the Indians to defeat the
governments purpose, but by so
doing they assume uninsurable
risks as to the future. The next
administration, Il is readily con-
ceivable, may wipe out existing
conditions without n thought for
the welfare of the Indians and
after the deluge discuss points OF
equitable. consideration with the
submerged. This is the plain ex.
position of the terms that will be
offered to them. They must ac-
cept them or throw themselves up.

Under the terms of the Indian

There has been some absurd
gossip that congress failed TO make
appropriations for the expenses OF

incorporated in the court bill, but

Mr. Villas secured the passage oI
an act appropriating $4,000 for
that purpose.

Favorable crop reports from nearly all

Latest advices as to the corn crop have

which probably equals the largest pre-.

products are beginning to show the eff.
fects of higher prices for raw iron and
steel in corresponding advances. West
ern iron and steel mills have orders to
keep them busy into 1896, and refuse to
name prices for a future delivery. Ap-
parently every mill and furnace in the
country is at work, and the fiscal year
will probably break the record of pro-

Prairie Fire Claims.

A number of farmers in the northern
part of the county have put IN claims for
losses by prairie fire last fall which, it
is said, was accidentally started few
miles south of Buchanan by Northern
Pacific engine. Claim Agent Taylor has
been looking up the cases and determ;r-
ing the facts. Among those who have
filed claims for losses are Jos. Cycewski
for oats ard range burned; j. B. Default
for farm buildings and contents, the,
loss being considerable; j. Blonga, hay
and timber claim; Jos. Stein, tree claim; !;
J. T. Gray, pasture and fencing. Most
of the fence posts that ran west from the
Gray Bros Spiritwood lake place were
destroyed. The fire also swept into the
timber around the lake, but whether it
has killed many trees or not remains to
be seen.
No losses have yet been adjusted, but
it is probable that settlements will be
made in all cases where the company
caused the loss. Claim Agent Taylor
has been crowded with work of this kind
for several months past, and is trying to
catch up with it in this part of the state.

parties who see in tkem q great source
OF wealth. An item from The Alert Of
recent date, concerning the trip Of the
governor and Secretary of State Dahl,
to the coal fields near tie Missouri rlver
has brought several inqutries concerning
the extent of the deposit and for the
names o: companies operating the mines.
As the population Of tie country in
creases the uses for coal will multiply
and in the submerged and preserved
vegetation OF North Dakota hestate will
find vast source Of revenue. The lig-
mite coal fields are in better shape for
utilizing than forests OF standing timber,
the great advantage being that the fuel
supply is easy to mine and entirely in
exhaus:ible.
