formfa bucks cost him $3.50 EACH He

SALE OF LUMBER URGED.
The Proceeds to Be Used in Assisting the
Jicarilla Apacbes.


The secretary of the interior, Nj.
Hitchcock, has addressed a commuu
cation to the Indian committees of c?n-
gress, urging the necessity of passllg
legislation which will permit the sale
of 100000 feet of lumber lin the Jita
rilla Apache Indian reservation in N aw
Mexico. The secretary wants authority
to sell the timber, as it is dead and
down, and will rot and be lost unless
sold.
The secretary transmits a letter from
the Indian office which says that the
efforts which have been made to en-
courage agriculture among the Ind dans
of the reservation has been fruitless, as
the lands which they own are not fitted
for the raising of crops. Sheep grazing
is said to be the best means of giving
the Indians support, and it is suggested
that the money received from the sale
of the timber should be used i'm start'.",
the Indians in that business.
