On the Bridge Question.

The following articles clipped from
different papers in the State show that
the sentiment OF the newspaper men of
the state is with the citizens of Devils
Lake IN their efforts to open the Fort
Totten Reservation to settlement.
The business men Of Devils Lake
have taken the ~initiatory in having the
Fort Totten Indian reservation thrown
open, to settlement. A committee was
appointed to hold a mass meeting this
month of residents of Benson, Nelson,
Eddy and Ramsey counties to petition
congress to throw the reservation on
the market without delay. There are
over 10000 acres Of fine agricultural
lands in this reservation, OF which the
Indians are making no practical use,
and which, it is said, they want to sell
to the government.
This is in line with what the Reporter
has advocated several times. Nothing
but united action on the part of the
communities bordering on the reserv-
ton will ever accomplish the desired
result. The Devils Lake committee
can rely on the business men of Oberon
doing their share in the furtherance of
this object. Now Is the time to bring
pressure upon our representatives in
congress. If we wait unil next fall, all
we will get is promises, as heretofore.
1t is time that we-the people-make
promises to the representatives.. and if
they comply with bur wishes, our prom.
Uses will be fulfilled next summer and
fall.-Oberon Reporter.
The proposed bridging of Devils
Lake and the opening up of the reser
walton to settlement would boom this
part of the state to an amazing extent.
Land is becoming more scarce every
year, and the opening of this large
tract would not only enrich the state
but would increase the output of the
''bread basket of the world" United
action on the part of each community
interested will do much to bring about
this state of affairs.-Lakota Herald.
Devils Lake citizens contemplate
bridging the narrows of Devils Lake

likely will be done.-Richland County

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The American

United States Ambassador Choate,

this subject was sent later to the United

cabled to Washington. In brief, food
stuffs are not contraband of war, unless,
intended for the enemy. The decision,
to make flour and grain in transit to,
the enemy contraband is evidently
hedged in by many difficulties of IKE.

that investigation will generally deter

at that time, but this is because the
government, a few years ago, expended
a lot of money to have them fixed mp,
new roofs put on and doors and win
dows put in good shape. Where the
government work stopped 90 itremains.
The money expended by the govern
ment has been applied conscientiously,
as this reservation in particular. has
beena fortunate IN having honest off
Gals in charge of it's affairs, but it seems
that these Indians have no conception
of what it is to try and support them
selves.
We can see no reason why this reser-
walton should not be opened to settle
ment by the whites that will make
proper use of it. If the Indians are
willing to be moved to some other
place, one thing is certain, and that is,
they will be no worse off nor will they
cost the government any more money
to keep them than at present. Those
things considered congress should lose
no time in takeng action in the matter.
and no doubt will unless composed Of
too many members lacking in actual
experience IN Indian affairs.
There is no doubt but that our own
senators and representatives under

do everything possible to bring about
the desired result.-Langdon Repub.

REPAIRING THE STREETS.
Excellent Work in That Lima Being Done
by Oonyicts.


Under Legislative enactment Superin-
tendent Bursum is authorized to supply
a limited number of men to improve
the public thoroughfares contiguous to
the capitol and penitentiary. Eight
TRUSTEES have thus been employed for
some time past, and the results have
been to greatly improve that section of
the Cerrillos road lying between the
two buildings. To-day work was COM
menced on Gaspar avenue, which leads
south from the capitol, and which many
persons use in going to the penitentiary.
The bridge over Tenorio arroyo is re-
ceiving attention just now, but it Is
hoped the work will extend to repair Of
golf links at least. On the hill some
ugly pitfalls have been cut by aban-
doned irrigation bitches. Not long ago
a fireman. while fastening to a fire on
the accident laid him up for a number
of weeks. A similar accident came very
neal happening during the storm the
other night. The main cut is so deep
that any vehicle going into it would be
shattered, and the left of the driver
would be endangered. AS long as Su-
p%erintendent Bursum is disposed to let
the use of men to repair these roads, 1t
should surely be the duty Of the city au-
thorities to look after such ugly breaks
as exist on Gaspar avenue

4 STREET RAILWAY FRANCHISE.
An Application for It Made to City Council
Last Evening.

Last Evening.
The city council last night spent an
hour discussing the petition of Col.
George w. Knaebel asking for a street
railway franchise. In behalf of Denver
capitalists the petitioner asks the city
to grant him and his associates a fran
chise to gridiron the city of Santa Fe
good for fifty years, and at least one
mile to be in operation within one year
from date Of franchise. The car fare,
as suggested in the petition, shall be 10
cents for adults and 5 cents for chill
dren. An animated talk followed the
reading of the petition. The city fathers
generally expressed themselves as in
favor of doing all in their power to en-
courage the modern growth of Santa
Fee, and considered the construction of
a street car line as one of the things
calculated to aid materially in this di-
~rection. besides serving to increase the
value Of real estate, but objection was
raised on the points of the length of
time the franchise was asked for and
the price of the fare. 1t was thought
that scent fares would be nearer the
| right thing. Colonel Knaebel was not
present in person, and the matter was
referred to a committee to confer with
the petitioner and report at a future
meeting.
The finances of the city were again
discussed somewhat. 1t appears that a
very mixed condition of affairs exists
owing to the unbusinesslike way in
| which the financial records have been
kept in recent years. 1t was asserted
that several hundred dollars in interest
coupons have been paid of which there
Is no record. The finance committee,
consisting of Aldermen ]. w. Akers, S.
E. Lankard and J. e. Lacome decided
to look into the subject and try and
bring order out of chaos, and for this
purpose they hold a meeting this after
noon.
A number of bills were presented and
referred to the finance committee. City
Engineer Zimmerman reported the ne
cessity of having the Palace avenue
sewer flushed out, and 1t was so order
ed. The council adjourned to Friday
evening.

1 DOG SCARE.
A Vicious Canine Bit Several Children ant
Seven Dogs

The good work Of dispatching worth

One report was that seventeen dogs had
been made to bite the dust at the crack
of the policeman's gun, but seven would
be more correct. All these had been bit
ten yesterday morning by Andres Sc
mas dog that ran amuck on Man.
haitian and Gaspar avenues. Major
Muller says the dog was frothing at the
mouth when the animal sprang upon
the handle bars of his wheel and bit
him through the shoe. The same ami
NAL made an attack upon Mr.. Sidebot-
tom and Robert Helwig, and bit two
children. One Of these Is the 5-year-old
daughter of Felix Quintana, bitten on
the arm, and the other was the 12-year-
old daughter Of Atalino Blea, who lives
near San Miguel chapel. The dog also
killed one of Felix Quintana's chickens,
and appeared to be thoroughly crazed.
