An arrangement that bids fair to
have an important bearing on the coal
industry in this country was entered
into between the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw Indian tribes in the supple
mentary treaty signed by them last
summer. BY the terms of this treaty
provision is made that coal lands to not
exceed 100000 acres shall be segregated
and set aside as coal lands, and that
these lands shall be offered for sale to
the highest bidder within two years
from the time of the ratification of the
supplementary agreement, and that
the money derived from such sale shall
be paid out to the citizens Of the
Choctaw and Chickasaw nations. There
is no way of estimating how much the
property will bring, but those who are
best posted as to the value of the lands
expect the sum that will be received
from the sale to exceed $50000,000.

The Use of "s" and "Are."


The problem whether to use a singu-
lar or a plural verb with a collective
noun gives many people much need
less trouble. The government has
decreed that "the United States is
should be used rather than 1.-The Unit
ed States are," which is a proper and
patriotic decision, but there are many
other cases where there is doubt in the
average mind. The New York Com
mercial, in response to the request OF
an anxious subscriber" recently sent
to the heads Of the English depart
,nents at Harvard, Columbia and Johns
Hopkins college the following query:
"PIease inform me whether this SEN
tence is correct: j. P. Morgan & Co.
is going to move April l. Can ]. P.
Morgan & Co. be called collective
noun? When is the singular verb to
be used and when the plural verb?'
Strange to relate, the replies indi-
Gated remarkable unanimity of opin-
lOI1, CONSTRUCTING tIiOSC iNpiJ
were experts. Harvard returned an
answer in favor of the plural verb in
the case Of the sentence in question,
but added that either the plural or the
singular verb is permissible according
to whether the plural or the singu-
lar idea is dominant. For ex-
ample, the Harvard professor wrote:
I'VE may say the committee are Of
one mind when we think of the mem
bers individually as coming to the
same conclusion; We may say the
committee is of the same opinion
when we think of the committee as a
unit and nothing else"
In the same way the professor OF
English at Columbia replied that the
use of the verb depends wholly upon the
idea of plurality or singularity in the
noun. ]. p. Morgan e Company may
be considered as an entity, whole, or
it may be regarded as made up of in
dividuals So also, the professor at
Johns Hopkins replied: Both forms
are correct. If you use j. p. Morgan
e Co. as equivalent to the firm doing
business under the style of j. p. Nor
gan & Co. it is singular noun. If
YOU have. in mind the several persons
composing the firm, it is plural
Thus it is seen that those supposedly
authorities as to what constitutes good
English" are agreed that after all
common sense carries some weight in
English grammar. Discussion as to
whether it is proper to say the Uni
ted States is" or the United States
are" is greatly foolish and waste of
time. Sometimes it will be found nee
essary to use the plural and some
times the singular verb, according to
whether you are thinking of the Uni
ted States as whole or as made up
of Maine, Texas, and all the rest of
them. The main thing is to have your
pronouns, if any are used. consistent
with your verbs. If we say 81. P. Nor
gan e. Co. u.s." then "it' is the pro-
noun to be used; but if we say u. P.
Morgan & Company are" the pro-
noun to be used is "they." Common
sense and a little care will go a long
way towards writing and speaking
correct English.

At a council held by the Penobscot
Indians in Old Town, Tuesday, it was
decided to hold a festival celebration
Oh the occasion of Mrs. I.eMoyne's
visit TO Indian Island. Horace Nicolar,
a famous musician and composer, was
selected as the spokesman and will
extend the invitation to Mrs. LeMoyne
in Bangor next Saturday afternoon.
Mr.. Nicolar will bear several gifts to
the actress as q token of the tribes
mems esteem. The invitation to at
tend a revival of the Penobscot bar
barrie rites arose from Mrs. LeMoyIle',s
deep interest in North American folk
lore and an acquaintance that she
formed with several Indian chiefs While
the sportman's show was being held in
Boston two years ago. A prominent
figure at this exhibition was Mr. Mic
olar who is the leader Of an Indian
concert land. His original PARMA
waupskeil March" was a decided nov
city at the show and won expert
plaudits.

ABOUT Bear Lake Crops.

-- Never in the history of this val
ley has such hay crop been har.
vested as is being put into the stacks
at the present time. The lucern Is
especially heavy and of splendid
quality. The other tame grasses
Will also yield a big crop.
The oat outlook is very promis-
ing at present and big yield is
looked for at harvest time.
The potatoes are looking splendid
and so far no frost has come in the
valley. Spuds are all in blossom,
and new potatoes are being dug.
The strawberry yield is good and
the quality excellent. Raspberries,
currants and the like will produce
enormously this season. Apples,
pears and plums give promise of a
good crop and the quality will be
fine.
Little wheat is sown now in Bear
Lake, and the barley yield will be
small owing to reduced acreage.
With everything turning out 40
good, it is no wonder the Bear Lake
farmer is wearing his broadcast
smile. The year will be a stem
winder all along the line and pros
porous times are a certainty for an
other year.
