Col. Horton reviews the past two
years and congratulates the soldiers
and the board on the broadening pol
icy as to the home. He says of the
substitution of girls for men as wait
ers and cooks: The employment of
young women instead of men in our
dining rooms as walters has proved
very satisfactory to all concerned.
Great care has been taken in the Sc
lection of this help, and as result we
have superior class of girls. Their
presence has refining influence
Colonel Horton says the provisions
and clothing furnished have been of
the best quality. Continuing, he
says:
The discipline of the home is good
| and it is maintained with less friction
than in years gone by. Cases of in
subordination rarely, if ever, occur.
The drink habit is the root of near
ly all our troubles in the home, the
percentage of drunkards is less at this
time than any time during the history
of the Home. In fact, there are very
few cases of what you would call ha
bitual drunkards. These we are com
PEELED to confine continually to the

The new pension law which provides
for the Withholding of pensions from
those twice convicted of drunkenness
has resulted in number of this tax

in a general way beneficial to the
Home.

Reservation Leases.

=. II. Stranahan, Indian agent
at Lapwai, informed Spokesman
Review reporter that the interior
department had decided to con-
slider no leases of Indian lands on
the Nez Perez reservation during
the months of April and May.
This is done so that all the leases
still Enacted on may be disposed
of before the leasing season be-
gins again. There are more than
200 leases Of Indian lands still I'M
acted ON by the department.
Mr.. Stranahan stated that there
is constant inquiring of him how
leases of Indian lands are con-
sumunated, and said: ''The man
who wants to lease land of an
Indian comes with him TO the
agency. There the lease is drawn
up BY the agent, signed by both
parties in the present of witnesses
and the amount Of bond it will be
necessary for the lessees to give is
fixed by the agent. When this
bond has been filed all the papers
are sent to the department of the
interior for approval or rejection
Out of 1900 allotinents on the Nez
Perez reserva ion about $50 are
under lease TO white men. An
allotment is so acres; making so,
600 acres OF the Indian lands that
are being iarmed in that way. In
all there were 1900 allo tmcnts to
Indians on the reservation. Many
Indians are undertaking farm
ing on their own account, and
some of them quite extensively
In 1899 one old Indian raised over
5000 bushels of wheat As a gen
eral proposition, however, / do not
think the Indian who attempts tt
farm more than % or 30 acres will
succeed. The necessity for close
watch Of expenditure, for pushing
methods essential to success in
grain farming, where the compe,
tition is great, handicaps the In
dian. The terms of leases made
with the Indians are various

The department in each lease pro-
vides that portion of the renta
shall be used for the improvement
of the land. II there is water 81
