EACH COLOR TO ITSELF.
How the whites, the Reds and tho
Blacks Get Along In the
Cherokee Nation.

The race problem in the Cherokee
nation is solved to the general satisfac-
ton OF the three races concerned and
the intermediary mixed blood, says the
Kansas City Journal. In the location
of homes the Cherokee fullbloods and
negroes are mostly in settlements The
intermarried whites largely are in towns
and territory contiguous to each other
The Cherokee speaking citizens much
prefer to associate together,
In the nation there are 30 schools at
tended by fullblood Cherokee children
and II by negro children. The negro
blood schools are not so by legal re-
quirement, but as a corollary Of their
preference to live near each other. The
Cherokee and negro do not intermarry
or socially mingle. Two seminarles and
an orphan asylum are attended by full
bloOds and mixed bloods only. the col
ored high school by negroes only.
In the Incorporated school districts
whites and Indians attend the same
schools, and race prejudice and undue
feeling on either side are being lost in
fellowship and friendship cultivated in
the class room and on the playground
Both sides are better satisfied in the
combined schools than they were when
they were kept separate. Fullbloods
seem to mingle as freely with white
renters and their families Of good char
acter as they do with mixed bloods.
OF the 3S, 500 citizens of the Cherokee
nation the best statistical information
gives about $500 fullbloods. 5000 inter
married whites. 22,S00 mixed bloods and
1900 freedmen.

In old Glastonbury, up on the noun
ain two or three miles from the ter
minus of the old lumber railroad, also
the electric railway constructed by the
pluck and perseverance of Herbert
w. Martin, a number of the boarding
houses occupied by the workmen thirty
years ago while cutting of the timber
are still standing, aud the cold winter
winds moan through and around them.
Those old houses are not only inhab-
tied by numerous hedgehogs but alss
by offspring of the common house cats
left there so mahy years ago. Hunt
ers proclaim that It is an interesting
spectacle in natural history to witness
the felinistic duties of the wild house
cats, which have attained a larger
size than those of the domestic family.
And then the different colors of the
cats causes considerable more interest
than as if they we're all the natural
wild cats of one color with short tails.
For same reason, almost unaccount-
able hunters do not shoot the home
! felines.

BACK TO SAILING SHIPS.
Those to Whom Time Is No object
Would Welcome Voyages
in Clippers.

A lover OF the sea has been prompted
10 suggest, in all seriousness, that it
would be a profitable and popular move
on the part of our leading steamship
companies if they were to add to their
tleet one or two passenger sailing ships.
with a view of affording those passen-
gers who take the transatlantic trip
purely for health and pleasure, an op-
portunity to spend more days on the
ocean than they can enjoy in a trip
between America and Europe on a fast
modern steamship
AT the first blush, observes the ScieE-
tific American, the suggestion that We
should return to the leisureiy spe d Of
the clipper sailing ship, seems almost
preposterous; and yet on second thought
when we bear in mind the wonderful
growth of the yachting spirit, the idea
is by no means visionary.
To a large and ever growing percent
age of European travellers, the sea voy-
age is one of the greatest inducements
to make the trip. With all our Wanted
advance in speed and comfort, there is a
question whether we haven sacrificed
many of those very features of the sea
voyage which tend to give rest to mind
and body.
The great demand for space for en-
gines, boilers and coal bunkers has made
It necessary to cut down the stateroom
accommodation to absurdly narrow
limits-so narrow that not the most
elaborate furnishings and finish can dis
guise the fact that the average state
room is not much more than a stufy
little box.
If a clipper sailing ship were designed
especially for transatlantic summer
travel, it would be possible, in the alb
sence of any provision for steam power
or cargo, to give up practically the whole
ship to passenger accommodation and
individual state rooms could easily be
made double the size of those usually
found on the modern liner.
There would be complete absence of
vibration, and of smoke and cinders, and
a general steadiness of motion which
only those who sail the seas under can
vas can properly appreciate.
II the ship were built with modern
speed lines, 1t should be able under ia
vorable circumstances to make the east
ward passage in from IL to Is days.
The westward passage would, of
course, take longer; but as the travel
ers on such vessel would be taking the
trip largely for the sake of the sea voy-
age, three or four weeks journey would
be looked upon rather with favor than
with regret

Competent ENGINEER
TO PASS ON RESERVOIR

Pratt declared he would not be bound
by a report by Mr.. Riblet for the
reason that the site of the Cliff Park
reservoir would be too expensive.
Pratt wanted a reservoir away off
up the river where it wouldn't do
any good. All this obstruction talk
was regarded merely as another Gill
development.
Judge w. p. Cullen for the tax
payers urged the reference of the
plans to the experts named and favor
ed a filtration plant also.
City Engineer. Gill said the only
dispute between him and Mr.. wey-
mouth was that Weymouth wanted
water meters and he didn't. Mayor
Boyd succeeded in opposing any plan
which did not include the Cliff Park
site and Councilman Funk and j. w.
Osborne pointed out that neither plan
included connection for the North
Side.
City Engineer Gill showed that
there wasn't generally enough press
ure to cause an overflow into the
Weymouth elevator and then ad-
mitted that the pumps ran only about
half their capacity during the night
time, and that if run full capacity
they ought to fill the reservoir.
Then the resolution was passed
naming the mayor, ]. II. Boyd of the
council and President Goodall of the
chamber OF commerce as a committee
to negotiate with the experts chosen
to pass on the plans.

HAS TOWNSHIP ORGANIZATION PASSED
0hQ(JBT|0h b0TH[R|hQ Th[ BOARD

The official board of canvassers be-
gan the official canvass of the cleo
tion returns this morning. At the
rate of speed made, IL minutes for
each precinct, it will take IS hours
for the board to complete the task.
AS the board does not sit in con-
tinuous session it will require at least
three days in which to finish the re-
turns.
Almost the first question up before
the board this morning was whether
the township organization proposition
for Spokane county carried. The
doubt was raised on the point as to
whether the law means the majority
of the voters voting at an election or
the majority of those voting on that
particular proposition. The board
decided to ask Prosecuting Attorney
Kimball for an opinion on the ques-
