INDIAN INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
The Settlers in Tuba City sell their Homes
 to the Government.

The settlers at Tuba City, on the Navajo Indian reservation, ninety miles north of Flagstaff, says the Coconino Sun, have sold their homes to the government. The sum received by the settlers is $45,- GOO.
 This amount is apportioned among nineteen property owners in proportion to their holdings, and will give each a handsome sum.
 Several years ago the limits of the reservation was extended to the Little Colorado. The government recognizes the rights, and an agree ment was entered into, whereby the settlers were to dispose of their lands to the government. The set tiers have waited patiently for con- gress to make necessary appropria- tions for the purchase, which was done at the last session.
 The government was represented in the transfer by Col. Jas. Laugh lin, inspector of the department of Indian affairs. Chas. H. Algert, Indian trader at Tuba City, repre- sented a number of the settlers. The deeds were recorded this week by Recorder Hibben, and the set tiers will receive payment on their lands in about six weeks.
 The object of the government in purchasing the holdings is to ob- in the reservation.
 It is authoritatively stated that during the next year the govern ment will commence the erection of an Industrial School for the In- dians on the reservation and that the buildings will cost $1OO,OOO.
 There is plenty of water and the settlers leave for the use of Indians well-improved farms, some of them stocked with bearing fruit trees. Col. Mclaughlin says that fifteen Navajos have entered a portion of the land and it will be allotted to them.
 The first settlement was made at Tuba City in 1875 by a party of twelve Mormons who made their tedious way over the rough road from Utah to this oasis on the desert. Among the party was $. B. Tanner who has resided in the Tuba stake since its settlement, twenty seven years ago.
 c. H. Algert will still continue to conduct his trading post at Tuba, in fact he will be the only white settler in that part of the reserva- ton.
 The Mormons, as the residents of Tuba are called-they are all mem- bers of the church excepting MT. have six months in which to remove their personal from the reservation. They do not know where they will locate, but will, as one of them re- scatter. The larger num- Der of the families have lived at Tuba for more than twenty-five years, and the chief regret of leav- ng is the breaking of old ties of friendship. They are all good, aw-a biding citizens.

CHINESE WASTE PAPER.
Every Scrap with Printed Charn
ter Hmm II Ia Sm~rON

Every Scrap With q Printed Charnc-
ter Upon 1t Is Sacred.
You will never find upon the street
or In the rubbish heap scrap Of pa
per with Chinese characters written
or printed upon it. An intelligent
Chinaman, questioned as to the rea-
son, explained the matter In this way:
"Melican man never tears up and
flows in stleet his Bible or hymnbook.
Chinee lifting all same to Chinaman as
Mclean mans Bible" ee~ !
Then he still further elucidated the
mystery by leading the way to the cell
lar Of Race street house, In which,
piled up before a gigantic furnace,
were bundles of paper and sacks Of let
tiers and newspapers printed In Chi
nese hieroglyphics.
Interpreted into plain English the old
Chinaman's story was that the orien-
tails regarded the written characters
as SO sacred that this furnace was es-
pecially set apart, after being blessed
by the priests, for the incineration Of
all Chinese letters and documents.
So sacred indeed was the Chinese
writing regarded by the orientals that
the most compromising letters Of the
highbinders and the private CORE
spondence of families were left with
confidence In the care of the furnace
attendant, it being perfectly well
known that he would not risk his i'm
mortal soul by committing the deadly
sin of prying into correspondence COM
mitted to his care to be given to the
flames.
Nor does the oriental regard the Chi
nese writing as safe from the hands of
the infidel even when every scrap OF It
has been reduced to ashes. After the
paper has been burned the ashes are
carefully collected, and when enough
has accumulated to make load they
are shipped on board boat belonging
to the Chinese Merchants company,
by which society all such matters are
managed, and taken to sea, where they
are scattered over the surface of the
ocean. s2
To the Chinaman it is horrifying to
see the white mans newspapers used
for wrapping purposes, his letters
scattered around the streets to be
walked on and his old books flung
around when read as though of no
more sacredness than old boots. A
letter, an envelope, the printed slips
extolling the virtues of preserved gin
ger or the characters that advertise
laundry for sale become, after their
usefulness has passed. as sacred as
the gilded ornaments that add to the
glory of the joss.
One man is employed in Chinatown
to collect the waste paper. He calls at
the stores and the rooms and gathers
it up with the utmost care, tying it In
sacks so that not shred shall escape.
With his sacred burden he goes to the
furnace room and hands the sacks to
the important parsonage in charge
there, who slows it away ready for the
next burning day. Twice week the
furnace is lighted and the sacks of pa
per solemnly committed to the flames,
with many misunderstanding delphia
