INDIAN SUPPLY DEPOT.
of ST. Paul Clearly
Enumerated by Mr.. FeIdhauser

Advantages of st. Paul Clearly
Enumerated by Mr.. FeIdhauser.
Edward Feldhauser, chairman of the
subcommittee of the city development
committee Of the Commercial club, ap-
pointed to investigate and report in
the proposition Of ST. Paul attempting
to secure the designation Of a supply
depot under the federal Indian bureau,
at a meeting Of the development COM
mittee yesterday presented a report.
The Indian bill Of last year authoriz-
ed the esta blishment of a branch depot
at Omaha, but did not appropriate any
money to carry out it's provisions. Not
withstanding the fact that Omaha has
offered to donate a building free Of
expense to the government, the In
dian bureau has not found 1t expedi-
ent to establish a branch depot In that
city, as it is not favorably situated for
supplying the greater part of the In
dian tribes Of the Northwest with goods
furnished by the government.
Mr.. F'eldhauser reports: That the
transportation facilities are not such as
to warrant the location Of the depot
at Omaha-it having been shown that
in order to reach the vast reservations

prevailed that Steenerson's apparent
lack OF intelligence and seeming alb
sence of moral conception of the crime
he had committed would count to some
extent with the jury and save the
young fellow from Indictment in the
first degree. The fact, however, that

admission, to brighten her and the

her, had much weight with the Jury.
which, under the advice of the county
attorney, decided that the deed pos
sessed the element of reconciliation
necessary for the Indictment on the
charge of murder in the first degree.

however, and, though giving no out
ward indication, is doubtless beginning
to, in some degree, realize the serious
ness Of his predicament. He does not
like his Jail associates. Some Of those
in the Jail are old timers or are in for
petty offenses, and with light spirits
these prisoners have been bantering
the young murderer and worrying him
with jokes which he does not under
stand. When taken out yesterday to
sit for a picture for the rogues' gal
lery, STEVENSON, who thought he WAS
going to the central station, said he
was glad to get away from the county
jail, and that he would much rather
be confined at the station.

seemed to have no use for 1t; 1t was

that 1t shall be my last resting place,

that purpose-made it of rocks picked

fire will be kindled upon 1t for me.
Sentiment! When a man Is dead
he is dead-that's all there is to that.
Why this costly display, this sham
sentiment which characterizes so many
funerals? There Is no help for a man
after he is dead. Rest assured, If he
is worth saving, God will save him, no
matter what becomes Of his body. A
selfish man cannot be saved. God has
no place for him; there is no way of
saving him.
People have said I am eccentric,

I have always wanted to teach this

from the powders into pile of ma

have helped to fashion. The pile is
nine feet high, having a surface on top
of 100 square feet. Upon these stones,
picked up in his dooryard, all that is
mortal of Joaquin Miller will some day
be reduced TO dust, and his ashes will
be scattered by the winds about the
hills he now knows and loves so we'll.
Years ago Mr.. Miller bought this lit
tie patch of rocks in the hills of the
Coast range-100 acres in all. No spot
on earth is now SO dear to him as this,
and thousands of dollars have been
spent to enhance its beauty. A large
force of men is kept constantly at work

monuments of various kinds which are
being erected to the memory Of noted

that his last resting place should be

POET WITH OLD FRIENDS.
Mr.. Miller has just returned from the
Klondike, after year spent with pick
and shovel-his old companions. AL
though much interested in the con-
structiOn of his funeral pyre, he has
no idea of using 1t soon. The writer
found him near the cabin the other
day, surrounded by his friends-the old
oaks and birds and powders. He
speaks their language and never tires
of them.
How do you feel, Mr. Miller?" ha
was asked.
Just like a lion that has dined on a
fat OK he replied. He is the picture
of health, and has no more idea of
growing older than younger. Always
a busy man, but never too busy to be
courteous, Mr.. Miller receives his many
callers with the hospitality of an old
mOuntaineer that he is.
My funeral pyre? Why not? Just
walk up the hill there and you can see
for yourself A blanket, a few sticks OF
wood, and a match-that's all it will
cost me to die. What a Godsend If all
men and women could die at such a
trifiing expense. 1t costs money to die,
Just as it does to live.
Il have long believed that millions
of my fellow men should be enamel
pated from the cOrporations-the grave
diggers. In 1871 1 advocated cremation
in bOok-my life among the Modocs,
published at that tine. People scout
ed the idea then. Not far from my
house up here on the hill I have a
graveyard where poor people may
bury their dead, upon this condition:
There must be no display Of any kind
no carriages, no imposing hearse. 1t
would be bad enough for a live man
to ride in one, let alone a dead person.
No graves up here are to be cared for
by hired man Why, I would as
soon hire a man to weep over my
grave as to pay him to water flowers
planted there. Walk through the Gem

be necessary to cover certain distances

We find that st. Paul's claims, as be-
ing the most advantageously located
city for a distributing point, have been
presented, and that considerable work
has been done in a preliminary way
towards having this city designated as
the place of establishment of branch
Indian supply depot.
But 1t will require united and persist
ent effort on the part of our business
men and jobbers to show the depart
ment and to impress upon congress that
which we so we'll know ourselves, viz,
that, as q railroad center and proper
distributing point st. Paul is the log
ical place for selection. It must also
be satisfactorily shown that our ia
cilities are fully equal, in many re-
spects superior, to many other cities to
furnish the kind Of goods and commod-
tiles which the government purchase
for the Indians.
and clothing, farm implements and sup
plies for the various Indian agencies,
we believe, can be produced here as
low as at any other point in the coun1
try.
While it is true that the furnishing
Of these supplies is open to competi7
tors bids, we nevertheless feel that to
have secured more than their share. We
are Of the opinion that they thus Sc
cure an advantage by acting together
and making business arrangements
whereby several firms handling differ
ent kinds of goods cooperate IN MAX
ing figures to the Indian department.
This can be done in the West as we'll
as In the East.
On the question of location for pro-
posed warehouse, we are advised that
it is the policy of the government not
to accept any free donations, such as
was embodied In the Omaha PROPOSE
ton, In offering a site and building free
Of cost to the government. Congress
makes annual appropriations for the
maintenance and support of each de-
partment, and there Is no authority for
any official to accept any free donation
of any sort
In this instance, however, the govern
ment can locate it's branch or principal
Indian supply depot in this city In one
of It's own buildings.
The present federal building at the
corner Of Fifth street and Wabasha
street can be utilized for the purpose
and would be an admirable point for
the establishment Of a branch ware
house. where supplies could be stored,
where samples of the various kinds of
goods called for could be exhibited and
examined for purchase.
We therefore recommend that there
be a permanent committee from the
club appointed to work on the lines
suggested in this report and to visit
Washington, if it is considered neces-
sary to push the claims Of st. Paul.
