INDIAN FARMERS.

- OVERNOR MURPHY of Arizona has
recommended that the reservation Indians of
~ that Territory be taught farming and in
duced to contribute to their support by that
means instead of subsisting in idleness Govern
ment rations. This is a very practical and proper
suggestion The policy pursued toward the reserva-
ton Indians by the Government has been very
wise. They have been permitted to have their dogs
and their ponies the links that connect them with
barbarisn, while they have notbeen taught any
patton by which they could go forward toward civiiza-
ton If they had been taught how to keep sheep and
cattle their introduction agriculture and the
would have been natural
As long as they have their ponies, when the Gov
ernment ration is not rich enough for their blood
they mount and go raiding 1t is natural as long as
they know no other way. If shown how to supply
food by raising crops, feeding stock and shearing
sheep, there is for supposing that they will
adopt it. Their ponies should be replaced by plow
teams composed Of slow mules and big-footed horses
useful the farm but useless on the warpath Moth
ing will co to tame and make them self-sup-
porting If Governor Murphys policy is carried out
the graduates of the various Indian schools who have
learned the arts will have use for their knowledge
when they return to their people At present there
is nothing for these graduates do except get into
a blanket and gee string, walk pigeon toed, look
through their eyebrows and teed at the Government
table. The money spent in training them is thrown
away. But if their wild brothers taught to use
the pruning hook and pow they will return to the
reservations to apply their knowledge, use their edu-
cation and assist in civizing their red brethren
The Indian problem is to be with us for MANY
year come and it is time that studied its sou-
ton in the light OF humanity and progress In his
natural state the Indian lived by the chase with
little gambling and robbery the side We cut off
his hunting, give him but little to bet on games and
leave him to rading and robbery as the sole sur
vivors OF his natural condition, and kill him when he
does either The Navajos, Moquis and some other
old tribes in New Mexico and Arizona understand
some ofthe arts. They keep locks and herds, weave
fabrics, make pottery and work in metals They are
usually peaceabe Indians and very interesting peo-
pie Their further advancement is easy if their an
cient mysteries and rituals left undisurbed They
have done for themselves what the Government ought
to help the wilder tribes to do. If white men skilled
in knowledge of the Indian character were enlisted
in the work and apt Indians were encouraged by
preferment, within generations the tribes now
wild Gagged sullen and helpless might be transformed
into sef-supportng and measuraby civilized people.

SHOWERS OF STEEL.
Pennsylvania Farmers Tell Strange
Tale of Woe.
Company Is Breaking Up a Lot of Cir
ders with Dynamite, Which Is
Bad for Farming and Not
Good for Fishing.

Up in Rockhill township, Bucks
county, Pa, the farmers have had
troubles of their own of late. Until
week ago they couldn't safely 90
3ut in their fields TO till the soil and
gather the crops without first TAX,
ng out an accident insurance policy
The trouble all lay with the Rock
ALL Industrial company, which took
iO-ton pieces of old steel from.
,he big steel construction companies
md blasted them all up into little
pits, so that they could be worked
Up over again. The Industrial com
sany made a fine profit on the jobs,
although they lost a good many
pounds of metal every time they
ired a blast.
They put a lot of dynamite in the
middle Of one of these big chunks Of
steel, made electrical connections so
hat the explosive could be fred
from a safe distance and then low
cred the metal into a deep pit. The
leNt step was 10 get all Of the work
men safely barricaded Then the
outton was pressed and the dynamite
vent OFF.
So did the steel, and it rained
pieces Of metal weighing from four
ounces up 10 - pounds all over the
country within a half-mile radius.
When a farmer was blowing and
here was an explosion and ten
pound piece of cold steel dropped
nto the ground alongside of his
?low he didn't appreciate the dis
.uTbance.

captured four or five fish and put
them in the basket. when suddenly
IN eight-pound projectile fell into
the creel. This man hasn't been
fishing since nor have his neighbOrs,
as it seems too dangerous an Occupa-
ton.
The storekeepers seem to have
about as much trouble as anybody.
Naturally these big explosions Of
dynamite make a great concussion
and about every fourth time a CO.
ton mass is smashed up a Rockhill
storekeeper loses a whole shelf of
crocke~y, Jared of by the tremor
which has shaken the earth around
there. Housewives are afflicted in
much the same way.
The company used to have
whistle blown when they were about
to set off a blast, but they have given
that up. The whistle used to be a
good warning and whenever the
farmers heard it they would hustle
to shelter. The horses took care of
themselves as best they could and
there has been more than one
crooked furrow made across the field
as the animals started on a gaIlop
TO get out of the way of a jagged
cannon ball.
Now, however. the farmers have
agreed that this mus; stop. They
have come down 10 the county seat
and secured a preliminary injunction
restraining the company from scat
tering more proiectiles over the
countryside. There is 10 be a hearing
soon and it is then hoped that more
of the residents up there can be in
duced 10 tell OF the things that have
happened 10 taem when explosions
have been the order Of the day.
