indians Voluntarily Surrender Ration
Tickets for Chances to Work on Res
ervations.
II. ]. Warner, subagent at Cherry
Creek, on the Cheyenne Indian reser-
yationy while in Pierre recently, gave
out a few facts in regard to the matter
OF giving the Indians labor to support
themselves, instead of continuing the
ration system.
Mr.. Warner made a tour of the
Rosebud reservation, looking over the
work whicffha been done on that res
ervation, and says that the results Of
the summers work Of about 500 Indi-
ans, is hundreds of miles of well built
roads, the work of course only be-
ing done at the rough places in the
roads, the prairie needing no attention.
The plan followed where a road
crosses a gully or gulch is to grade
across, making a substantial dam,
with a wasteway arranged in such q
way that the water can eve run over
the embarked earth. This serves the
double purpose of making a good
crossing. and, at the same time, a stor-
age reservoir. The results of the work
so far, on the Rosebud reservation, is
~ffty-eight storage dams besides the
roads improved.
The same plan has been inaagurated
on the Cheyenne reservation, and MIR.
Warner has now over 100 Indians at
work, following the same plan. After
be i,naugurated the work a number OF
IE4aiaRs voluntarily came in and sur
rendered their ration tickets. This is
not in line with the generally.accepted
view Of Indian character, but the indi-
cations + that a large majority of
tie able-bodied Indians on the r5serYa-
EiCn will make the same move next
spring.
They appreciate the fact that the
work Is for their benefit, and that they
car secure pay for practically work,
ing for themselves. The pay given
them is In cash, and is $1,25 per day
per man, or $3.50 for a man and team.

features of Prince Henry's entertainment
Wednesday were his luncheon with the
captains of industry in the afternoon and
his dinner with the press of the United
States at night. The Prince spent the
moTling quietly, resting on his yacht,
and the time intervening between the
luncheon and the banquet was devoted
to a sightseeing trip about New York
during the afternoon, and in the evening
p visit to the Arion Club and review
of a parade of the German societies.
His guests at the luncheon were 100
men from different parts of the United
States prominent in commerce, industry
and finance.
The dinner at night was a magnificent
affair, one thousand of the men who
make American newspapers sitting at the
banquet table with the Prince. He was
the special guest of Herman Ridder,
proprietor of the New York Staats-
zeitung, who gathered at his table ma
jority of the leading figures in Ameri-

professions, vast throngs on the great

soldiery could scarcely realize that so
distinguished a parsonage was being
honored by the Government and that in
the history of the nation few others more
distinguished have been its guests. The
clear skies and soft sunshine brought
forth a large crowd that swarmed the
avenues leading to the White House and
filled the sidewalks comfortably from
the Pennsylvania Station along the route
taken by the party, but there was nothing
approaching that jam which is a con
spicuous feature of the inaugurations
every four years. In fact, the crowd
wff not marked by its numbers so much
