the responsibility of the awful wreck on

Washington Dec. 30.-The Indian office
has under consideration plan suggested
by Superintendent Peers of the Haskell
Institute, Lawrence, Kan, by which re-
turned students of the Indian schools may
get employment off their home reserva-t
ton on farms and in towns in Minnesota,
the Dakotas and other states Of the. west
and northwest The plan. does not con-
template giving them government jobs.
Under present arrangements the students,
after quitting the government, school, re-
turn to the reservation, most Of them
without dollar. They are compelled to
earn their living on their home allot
ments, which are in many instances un-
productive, and if they. hear of a chance
to get job any distance from home they
are unable to accept because Of a lack
Of money to travel. This retards the
progress Of the young Indians and tends
to pull them back into the ways Of their
! ancestors. 80. 80. un..s- TX
The plan Is to have an agent of the In
dian office placed in charge &of an Indian
| labor bureau. This bureau will gather.
information about pupils about to- leave
their school, and their qualifications in
an industrial way, either as farmers or
mechanics or skilled laborers. It will also
get lists of employers willing to give jobs
Indians skilled in mechanics or farmers,
and, in case Of girls, who want competent
help in homes and female help on farms.
The bureau will distribute lists of places
open to students among the schools and
| furnish money to take, them to such
places. Jones is confident that the plan
is feasible and will further it. He thinks
! that, with small increase of his con
tingent fund, the plan can be carried out
without special legislation. IL. .s

Agent Simon Michelet at White Earth

recalled that $1S,50O was to be paid inn
mediately upon approval Of the roll and a
considerable sum is deposited in the bank
at st. Paul to be disbdrsed later. Michelet
reports 62S Indians entitled to share in
the fund which will give each man, woman
and child about $50. AS soon as the roll
is approved the money will be placed to
his credit for disbursement. Michelet has
asked authority. to spend about 81 600 for
supplies for the home for aged Indians he
is maintaining at.>White Earth. 1t will
