No run was made in the seventh, but
the shave was so close that the fans
really felt like shouting for once.
Hanford hit and Sears followed with a
two base drive. Thiery hated a
grounder out to HUGHES, who sent it
back to Arthur fasto4 than it came

of them came in the latter part of the
game, too, after the victory had ap,

fact it looked very rosy up to the
sixth, when the score was three to
seven in Rock Islands favor.
The visitors had their poorest
pitcher in and he was bsing pounded
pretty regularly. Jarvis, on the other
hand, was proving rather abstruse
for the big fellows from the Scandi-
navian town and it looked easy. In
the sixth the runs were tied. aud in
the eighth it was cinched, the visitors
being two in the lead.
In the ninth there was a glimmer
of hope, but with Owens on second
and one needed to tie the score, Mil

make hit and the affair passed into
history.

THE WORK or INTERIOR
Secretary Hitchcock's Annual Re-
Published.
FORESTRY AND IRRIGATION
These are The Principal Topics Treaied--
The Building Of Large Reservoirs Adgoca
ted FOR RecLaiming Arid Lands

WASHINGTON, Nov. pa policy
which, it is commended, will settle the
entire Indian question within gener-
alton Is announced by Commissioner
of Indian Affairs William A. Jones In
his annual report, just made public.
His plan Is to give the Indian oppOr-
tunity for self support, the same pro-
lection of his person and property as
Is given others, throw him upon his
own resources and to enforce on him
realization of the dignity Of labor and
the Importance of buifsling and main
tanning a home for himself
Mr.. Jones says that at the outset the
Indian must have aid and instruction,
and necessaries doubtless will have to
be furnished him until his labor be-
comes productive, Until the Indian has
become part of the community in
which he lives, day schools, the COM
missioner says, should be established
at Convenient places where the Indian
may learn enough for ordinary bust
ness transactions. The key to the whole
situation, the commissioner suggests, Is
the home The larger and more power
full tribes, he adds, are located in an
arid region on unproductiye reserva-
tons, often in rigorous climate where
there Is no chance to make even a liv-
ing, In these cases something should
be done quickly toward placing such
Indians in a position where they can
support themselves.
Commissioner Jones says the cutting
off of rations from all Indians except
those who are lncapacitated from earn
ing a support has had very gratifying
results and IL followed up ultimately
will lead TO the abolition of the reser-
vation and the absorption of the In
dian into our body polite. He makes
the emphatic statement that the pres
ent Indian educational system, taken
as a whole, is not calculated to pro
duce the results that We're anticipated
so hopefully and may be added to the
obstacles to independence and self sup
port under which class Mr.. Jones has
placed indiscriminate issue of rations,
periodical distribution of large sums of
money and the general leasing of allot-
ments.
In the last thirty-three years, the re-
port says, over $240,000,000 has been
spent on an Indian population not ex-
ceeding 100000. Notwithstanding this
the Indian is still on his reservation
being fed, money is still being paid
him. he is still dependent on the gov
eminent for existence, and he is little,
if any, nearer the goal of independence
than he was thirty years ago, and If
the present policy is continued he will
get little, if any, nearer in thirty years
to come.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. = NJ. G..
Brumbaugh, commissioner of educa-
ton for Porto Rico, in his annual re-
port says the 1000 schools there, good
as they are, cannot successfully cope
with the tremendous illiteracy and the
vast army of children in need of edu-
cation in Porto Rico. There are 3D.
600 children in school this year, and
the enrolment next year will be So
600. A large normal school has just
been opened at Rio Piedras to meet
part of the demand for teachers. An
annual appropriation by congress of
not less than 100000 per annum for
ten years is urged. This, the report
says, would equip the island with prop
err school facilities for 100000 addition
al pupils, which, with the present en-
rollment, would make above 66 per
cent of the school population of the is
land

THE ROLLER BOAT.
Inventor Gets Her Across the st.
LnMrence. but sticks In the Mud.

OGDENSBURG, n. Y, Nov. 90
Knapp's roller boat has demonstrated
its ability to roll. In a binding snow
storm, with stiff north wind, it rolled
from Prescott across the st. Lawrence
river to Ogdensburg, but missed the
channel to the upper harbor and rolled
INTO the soft mud on a bar abreast the
city and settled hard, surrounded by
snow and ice. A steamer following the
roller was unable to get near her owing
to shallow water. Efforts 10 tow the
boat by long hawsers into deep water
were unsuccessful, and she may not be
released until spring. The inventor and
a stakeholder who were on board We're
taken off in small boats. The inventor
claims success.
The boat is 40 feet long and % feet
in diameter. An engine is suspended
in car in the center. The motive pow
er is applied in the form of climbing
engine. Mr.. Knapp says he will now
build an ocean roller boat 500 feet long
and 200 feet in diameter, with capaci-
ty of 100000 bushels of wheat and a
speed of twelve knots an hour.

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.
Secretary Wilson's Report shows
Substantial improvements.


WASHINGTON. Nov. 26.-The an.
nual report OF the secretary Of agricul.
ture, Hon. James Wilson, is considera-
bly, larger than in former years. The
secretary announces an important ex.
tension OF the forecast field of the
weather bureau, which now includes
reports from certain points in the Brit
fish isles and on the continent OF Eu-
rope, from the Azores, Nassau, Bermu-
da and Turks island. The Atlantic
forecasts based upon these reports now
form part Of the regular night fore
casts issued in Washington. Three new
forecast districts have been established
lin Boston, New ORLEANS and Den
mark. An extension Of the forecast to
farmers through the rural free delivery
Is contemplated. Substantial improve
ments are reported in the departments
system of wireless telegraphy.
A large portion of the report covers
the subject of animal industry. The
grand total Of animals and animal
products exported during the year ex-
ceeded $3.50, 100000 in value.
The organization of the bureau of
plant industry is reported.
Another of the newly organized bu-
reaus is that of forestry. The secretary
reports that this bureau is cooperating
with the federal government, with sew
eral states and many private owners in
handling their forest lands. Altogether
assistance has been asked for total
area of 100000 acres. of which
100000 are held by private owners.
The work of forest management is re-
viewed In some detail.
The secretary expresses the belief
that irrigation will ia the near future
become a subject for legislation by con-
gress, there being important reasons
why Il should have the attention of
that body.
