REPORT OF SPECIAL INSPECTOR
SAYS THEY HAVE NOT AD-
VANCED AS THEY SHOULD
HAVE-RATIONS RECOMMENDED
DISCONTINUED TO FORT BIER
THOLD INDIANS.
Washington, Feb. 22.-The secretary
of the interior, in a communication to
congress, gives an interesting report
of the condition of the Indian service
in the various states.
The investigation made by Frank G.
Armstrong was to ascertain what pro-
gress the Indians are making in the
art of civilization, the propriety of re-
ducing the size of their reservations
and the ACCESSIBILITY of continuing an
nuity payments in the northwest. The
Investigations were made principally
in North Dakota concerning the Devils
Lake Indians in that state. Mr.. Arm
strong says their advancement is not
near as much as it should have been.
He said that these Indians are back
ward and lack progress.
AS to the Turtle Mountain band In
spector Armstrong says they are in
dustrious and are trying to earn their
support by hard labor. Concerning
the Indians at Fort Berthold. the state
ment is made that they are we'll ad-
vanced in civilization. But they are
too we'll cared for" says Mr.. Arm
strong. He recommends that rations
be no longer issued to them.

EIGHTEEN DEAD IN FIRE
Fire at an Early Hour This Morning
Destroys the Park Avenue Hotel
In New York.
Flames Originate In the Armory of the
Seventy first Regiment and
Spread to Hotel.
Guests Awakened by Crash of Falling
Walls and Many Jump from the
Windows to Ground.

New York, Feb. 22.-The Park Ave-
nue. Hotel and the armory of the Sew
enty-irst regiment, National Guard,
at Thirty-second and Thirty-third
streets were destroyed by fire this
morning. A conservative estimate
places the number of lives lost at IS,
and the number of injured at so. The
property loss is estimated at two mil
lion dollars. Firemen and others did
heroic work during the progress of the
flames and scores of unconscious were
carried out of the burning hotel.
The flames originated in the Sew
enty-first regiment armory at 2 o'clock,
and reduced that building to ashes in
half an hour. Leaping to the Park
Avenue Hotel, sparks flew through tn
open window to the sixth floor. it is
claimed, and set fire to inflammable
hotel furnishings. Meantime the am
munition in the armory began explod-
ing, telling the walls of that structure
in a series of crashes and shocks. In
the hotel, which was rapidly filled with
dense smoke, panic reigned among the
guests who were awakened by crashing
noises and shouts Of the people, and
found themselves in the midst of dense
choking smoke. Then it was they
sought egress, some taking option OF
jumping, while others felt their way
| about in effort to find stairways. The
fremen soon rushed up scaling lad
ders to the windows yelling to the peo'
pie on the stills to hold on until they
could be reached and many were take1

CROPS OF 1901

NORTH DAKOTA RAISED 25O EJSH-
ELS OF WHEAT, 100 BUSHELS
OF FLAX, 70 BUSHELS OF OATS
AND $40 WORTH OF CATTLE FOR
EVERY MAN. WOMAN AND
CHILD IN THE STATE.
The fame of North Dakota as a pro-
Queer OF wheat has gone far and wide,
but beyond this but little is known OF
the resources of our fair state by the
public at large. The general impress
sion of the east is apparently that it is
a comparative Wilderness, with a
frigid climate, small population, small
resources, and small prospects. 1t is
true that only a comparatively small
proportion of the state is yet under
cultivation, and that the short period
OF about thirty years practically COM
prises the history of the states deveI-
opment. Some figures may serve to
some extent to correct the wrong i'm
preston of the states as
we'll as Indicating some of the reasons
for its prosperity. During the season
of 1901 this state raised an average
of $50 bushels of wheat. 100 bushels
of flax. and 70 bushels of oats to every
man, woman and child in the state,
1t has an average Of $40 worth of live
stock to every man. woman and child
in the state. 1t has raised during the
last year not only the largest wheat
crop of any state in the union. but at
the same time has raised more than
half of the entire flax crop of the
United States, and besides has raised
its full share of oats. barley. rye, DO
tatoes. and hay. North Dakota is new
as a corn raising state. but during
1901 raised about two million bushels
of corn. In the way of vegetables
n root crops. etc., the amounts have
not been so large, comparatively little
having been raised except for local
markets and home use. but the aggre-
gate value thereof will amount to many
hundred thousand dollars. North Da-
kota has more than doubled it's farm
acreage during the past ten years.
