Henderson, NJ c.. Sept. 3.-Last night
about IL o'clock the residence of Mr..
Charlie Turner, in West Henderson. was
discovered by passers by to be on fire and
the alarm given. The fire companies OF
Henderson were promptly on hand and
many of the citizens responded to tine
alarm. The fire started under the house,
near the bath room and burned through
the floor and the flames reached the
ceiling. The fire company cut a hole
through the roof and soon succeeded IN
extinguishing the flames, but the rooms
were flooded with water. and much of Mr.
Turner's furniture injured.

As no fire had been near the place
where it caught, it is most probable that
it was incendiary work.

the climate is not essentially different.
1t is necessary to have the good
will of the old Indians in order to Sc
cure pupils and probably no man has
a better acquaintance with the In
dians of the Southwest than Supt.
Lennon. He invariably makes the
leaders of the tribes his friends by
his straightforward dealings with
them and his ability to convince them
that education is worth while. If
there is a man who has n firmer hold
upon the Indians of the south. and
who has gained more of their respect,
and l will say. love, than Mr.. Lem
mon, 1 think it must be some of the
missionaries who have spent their en-
tire lives among the Indians. and
these are certainly few i'll number.

Mr.. Lennon has brought upwards of
forty at one trip. The usual term of
enrolment is five years. At the end
of this time, all desirable pupils may
enroll again, with their parents
consent.
The present equipment of the

large brick buildings for the boys, a

new huildings were erected.
Most of the Indians first brought by
Mr.. Lennon were Apaches, with II
few Mohaves and Yumas. And here
it may be stated that it has always
required great deal of work to fill
up this school and so maintain it, ow
ing to its great distance from reser-
vations; and further, the superinten-
dent has had TO pass some other train
ing schools to get pupils for this
school, as it is only recently that a
certain territory has been allotted to
us from which to draw. But the
location of the school for the Indians
of the semi i-arid regions could not be
surpassed, as here they are taught

school at this place, for it obviously
requires Indians, as well as appropri-

draw pupils from number of tribes !;
and the plan of placing children of
different tribes in school together is
an excellent one, for the reason that,
each being unable to speak another
Indian language. they will unite in
learning English, as the common
tongue. We now have more Papagoes

A. L. GOURLEY.

Not II few of the citizens of Grand
Junction claim the sturdy state of IL
linois as their birthplace. That COM
monwealth has sent her sons into
every direction and these sons have
made their presence felt in most
cases. y well-known and respected
Illinoisan in our midst is A. L. Gour-
ley He was born i'll Fairview, Full
ton county of that state in 1860 Af-
ter attending Abingdon college, he
moved in 1882 to Kansas where he
taught school for number of years.
Part of his residence in Kansas was
spent in the real estate office of Hon.
r.. n. Allen at Chanute. Here Mr..
Gourley got his first training for II
business career.
In 1886, Mr., Gourley came west
with his family and located at Mont
rose, Colorado. There he stayed un-
til 1890 engaged in teaching and other
pursuits. Seeing an opening in
Shenandoah valley, San Miguel coun-
ty, he moved to Norwood. Colorado
OF that town he may be said to be

to be very successful move. In
Norwood, Mr.. Gourley engaged in the
mercantile business including under
taking. He prospered and remained
there eight years, returningt Mont
rose in 1898. He bought half inter
est in the Western Slope Furniture
company of that city.
In 1900, Mr.. Gourley sold out his
Montrose interests and moved with his
family to Grand Junction. Here he
purchased the furniture stock of II. @.
Bucklin and since then has been in
timately connected with the business,
church and social life of this city.
On Mr.. Gourley's honesty and up
rightness in business we need not
dwell. 1t may not be out of place to
say that his broad mercantile exper-
fence has fitted him well for the bus
mess in which he is now engaged.
Increase of trade has frequently de-
manded of Mr.. Gourley the remodel
ing and enlarging of his quarters.

mountains. as summer range for the
cattle.
Dairying goes hand in hand with
agriculture, and we have twenty-three
milch cows.
In addition TO the regular garden
ing operations, pupils have their in
dividual garden plots, which they
plant and cultivate under the super
vision of the class room teachers.
Blacksmithing instruction is given
in the art of preservation of working
implements and machines.
The carpenter shop is useful adj
junct to the school. There the car
penter teaches the boys the uses of the
various tools, and all repair work on
buildings is done by them. They also
learn painting; this being a related
trade.
The pumping plant and laundry are
run by steam; so the engineer appren-
tices have a chance to learn how to
run engines.
All the shoes for the school are
made by the shoemaker and his detail
In addition some harness hasbeen made
In the bakery limited number
of bows are taught the trade. The
school has turned out some excellent
bakers; l know one of them who has
been filling a good position acceptably
for six years.
The school paper, Reveille. gives
the boys ample opportunity to learn
to set type. when they show an apti-
tude for the work. The training they
thus receive in composition, punctu-
alton. and accuracy is no small item.
The outing system, whereby pupils
are placed in white families part of
the year, teaches the boys habits of
thrift and industry. They readily
acquire English and get ideas of bet
ter living than they have been used TO
on the reservation.
The domestic arts are taught the
girls. In cooking. they learn how to
prepare a savory meal from ordinary
materials; i'll sewing. they learn the
and how to cut. fit and make clothes;
i'll the laundry. the various processes
of washing and starching clothes are
learned. The idea is to impress the
girls with The dignity of this work.
and to equip them with the knowl--
edge and skill requisite to make them
good housekeepers.
Blanket weaving. basket making,
and bead-work are special depart
ments. A skillful Navajo blanket
weaver has been working at the school
for sometime. Both blankets and
bead work made at the school are now
i'll the superintendent office, for
sale. and this is a department that
will grow. When distinctively In
dian work is produced it always COM
mands good nrice. That is one
reason why it is desirable to teach the
native industries.
The evening hour in school is de-
voted to singing and to looking over
lessons for the next day. On Wednes-
day evenings. the industrial teachers
give talks on the work of their re-
spective departments; Thursday even
