Whether "JndianS not taxed means
Indians not directly taxed, OF whether
it may not mean Indians not taxable,
are questions that must be decided by
the census Office before It can form its
plan for the Indian enumeration. IN
1890 ihere were about 10000 civilized
Indians living among the general pop
ulatiol Of the United States. Such
Indians are citizens Of the United
States but many Of them are to0 poor
to pay taxes. Are they to be excluded
from the population according to
which representation in congress is ap~
portioned? We count every Chinese
and other alien Of whatever sort or
condition. Before the war we counted
every negro slave as equivalent to
three-Gfths Of a white man. 1t seems
manifeStly absurd to believe that the
trainers of the constitution meant to
exclude class Of citizens who are also
natives, because of their poverty. In
other words, the trainers Of the con-
stitutiOn must have said what they did
not mean. What they really meant
was to exclude all Indians belonging
to class not subject to taxation.

A bulletin from the Kansas expert

lost at least 11a per cent. of 100000
cattle (this is exclusive of milch cows.
This would be q loss of 10000 cattle
with Il value of at least $600,0O0. This
loss could have been almost entirely
prevented, During 1896, 1897 and
1898 40 per cent. of all cattle owners
in Kansas sustained losses from
blackleg. In 1899 146 cattlemen re-
port an average loss Of over per cent

 Graham Bulletin: Chas. Woods, manager of the Turtle Cattle Comp any with headquarters on Bonita creek was in SolOmonvile last waek.

DOES CAREFUL FARMING PAY IN
NORTH DAKOTA?
Willow City, N. D., Nov. 10,
1891 settled and took a home
stead in this place in 1889, with
my wife and five children. All I
had to start with were two horses,
one Of which died the first year,
two COWS, and my farm tools, worth
about $50 to $75, but money [ did
not have. I went along as circum-
stances allowed me, raising steers
to break my land, and improved
from year to year. My children
grew up and helped me, and now I
am the owner of l,4O0 acres of
land, which is worth $4,000, and
have farm buildings worth over
$4,000, and have Is good work
horses, s young horses, Is head of
cattle and 10 hogs. have plenty
of tools to run my farm. This year
I raised 10000 bushels of wheat,
besides the other grain. My land
consists of about 100 acres mostly
timber, 100 acres mostly meadow.
100 acres of pasture, and the bal
ance I farm. My farm land I crop
two-thirds each year, and have one
third for summer fallow. About
one-third Of this years crop will
pay me all out Of debt. I.wish to
remark that when [ came from the
old country, Germany, 1 brought
with me $1,000. and I bought me a
farm in Milleville, Mimi, in 1885,
and in two years I had to leave the
farm and everything else to my
creditors. My advice to every poor
/ an with a family is, don't go in
debt in the eastern country OF
rent farms down there, but come
west, where you can get a home
stead for almost nothing, and be
five years free from taxes. [ can
recommend this country here tc
the people Of the east.

CAN'T FIND WORDS TO EXPRESS
FULLY THEIR GOOD OPINION OF
NORTH DAKOTA.

Boston, N. D., Nov. IL, 1885,
I came from Warrensburg, Mo-,
and settled on a homestead in the
southwest corner of Cavalier
county, in April, 1898. The per-
sonal property I brought with me
was worth about $3.50. In 1898 1
broke 20 acres and sowed flax,
and got a yield Of 240 bu. This
year my crop was: 70 blu. of wheat,
400 blu. of oats, 225 blu. Of barley,
$50 blu. Of flax, and $50. bu. of
potatoes. I did all the work to
raise this crop. and did not hire a
man only in threshing. l also ex-
changed work to get help to put
up 80 tons of hay that is worth in
stack from 50 to $3.50 per ton. I
have good, comfortable buildings,
and I'm in good shape for the
winter. We raised the finest
garden I ever saw, and have 500
trees heeled in to plant in the
spring. I can only repeat what I
have often said, that this is the
best country / ever saw to get a
good home quickly and easily. In
my immediate neighborhood the
free land is all gone, but there is
plenty and good in the Mouse
River country. I can surely
recommend my friends to come
out here, and in 5 years you will
hear it whispered around in the
overcrowded east: IF I had only
come to North Dakota while there
was free land" But their regrets
will come too late. I say to all,
come now while there is a chance
for you to get a home like we, who
are here, have got. My wife and
[ are fully satisfied with our new
home and the prospect before us
and can't find words to properly
express our good opinion Of North
Dakota.

the country for me or any other
poor man to get a start. About
that time my old friend Schroeder
came down from Willow City, N.

home. He told me that North
Dakota would be the place for me
to go. 1 just had money enough
to get there with my wife and four
little children. and took a home

earn money to buy a breaking

along slow but sure. Today 1 am

1t is often asserted that the trade
unions of Duluth are not as strong
numerically as they were few years
ago. We make this assertion based
upon our records in this office, that
never in the past history of this city
were the unions so strong as they are
today, never before were they in as
good shape as they are today. There
are. really more substantial labor or
ganizations here than ever before. The
only drawback today is, that there is
not sufficient united action. There are
too many KNOCKERS" among the mem
bers and not enough "boosters.'

About one man in every three en-

These are not confined, might be

and in other forms of industry of a
semi-ru'lic nature, where the work of
few the day of rest is necessary
for tn, comfort of the many, but are
scattered through almost every branch
Of indv stry. A special report form was
prepared and sent to the principal en-
ployers of labor. These were filled out,
and from the information received
summaries were made
Policemen and firemen fare worst in
the matter of Sunday rest. Their Sun
day working hours amount to 1923 per
| cent of their week day hours. Tele-
graph operators have only slight bet
ter conditions. Their proportion OF
Sunday labor amounts to 1923 pc,
| cent. Out of 1872 employees Of printing
and binding trades, 265 were found en-
| ployed on Sunday, and the Sunday
| hours of hotel and restaurant employ
es has been found to amount to 14.21
| per cent of week day hours. The per-
centage among Waterworks employees
is 6.23, among drug store employees 8.37
| light and water plant Workmen 1918
and street railway employees 1913. The
| percentage among steam railway en-
ployes is comparatively small.
Questions as to the causes of Sunday
| labor brought responses showing that
under the usual conditions many in
! dustries are compelled to keep work
men busy Sundays. In many cases this
class of work has been found to be
compulsory, though in some instances
Sunday workmen are given a day of
during the week as compensation. The
investigation shows little to indicate
an effective remedy.
