TbabIuskogee Times says the recent opinion Of the
encouragement of the United States with reference to
the alienation Of lands of Indians has thrown the land
buyers in to spasms The Times says. The main feat
ure Of the opinion lies in the fact that the attorney
eral says the act will be construed rgdly 1T sexpcit
are his words and plain that there is room for
msconstruction 1t means just what says The opn-
ion enforces the idea that only those aottees who
really of Indian blood convey the title Of their
land without the approval Of the Indian agent and the
Secretary of the interior The Of whether not
the name Of freedman appears on the freedman roll of
the Dawes commission is not mentioned. Whether
OF not the aottee of Indian blood be determined
by the courts and if he that he has Indian
blood it proof that he has right convey the title
without the approval of the agent and the secretary
This viii knock the bottom out of many sales that have
been made By freedmen who have received their money
and for the part spent it, If the socalled freed
man can prove that lie has Indian blood in his veins in
the opinion of the encouragement he had right
to sell his land than before the appropriation act was
passed Another very important feature of the opinion
that the does purpose remedy any defects in
instruments that drawn up prior its approval If any
instrument was drawn up before the approval which
might be valid under existing conditions the said nsru
ment nevertheless defective All land who wish
to take freedmen titles w it supposed require the
freedmen make andavit in each case that they have
not far they know any Indian blood This anida-
Wit should be made matter of record and in the
transaction went before the the purchaser Of the
freedmens lard might in a measure be protected

A FRIEND of the bright Jay, who en- cumbers the commissioners office at present, tells us that Harvey Thompson was convicted by jury. As we re- member, Thompson served many terms under sentence by the court. Whether Thompson was sentenced to years Imprisonment for the alleged embezzle- ment of $3 watch, with or without a verdict of guilty from jury, does not alter the fact that he received heavy sentence-not because it was 8 punish ment fitted to the crime; but because it enabled the marshal's office to collect from the government 5 per diem for Thompson's board during 365 days. It is useless to attempt to befog the sit uation at this stage. The ones who have used their. offices for loot and op- pression have read the writing on the wall and begin to realize that their day: of tricky gratis, aud abuse of power is drawing swiftly to close. \

coffers of Brady y's missionary council?
 The Indians of Alaska receive very little assistance, in the way of provis- ions and clothing, from these mission aries, but are living almost exclusively off the miners. No, MT. President, the people of Alaska want no more Bradyism. We demand, and are en- titled to, whiteman's form of gov ernment. Give Alaska good, clean of ticials. The miners will do the rest, and Alaska will soon be the brightest star on the field of blue. ,g 7

 1tis probably safe to say that at this moment 100 miles of the Alaska Central Railway are in operation from the new town Of Seward, on Resurrection bay, northward. This railway changes the whole situation in Alaska. 1t is sur veyed and bedded, for 416 miles, inland across the great Tanana and Rampant mining regions, and the Yukon to Bet ties on Koyukuk river. in, Northwest ern Alaska. It will be completed in 1905 reducing the. fare fIom Seattle to the Rampant country from $345 to $l45 and the time from thirty-three to four days. e ..f*' ". M <

 N SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1904. '
 THE President has no doubt by this time heard from the people of Alaska on the re-appointment of Gov. Brady or a successor. Why should Brady be re- appointed governor of Alaska? What has he done to advance the interests of the. civilized people of the country True, he has recommended the appro- priation of $1O0, 900 from Uncle Sam g treasury, for the purpose of supplying the officials of the Third division with a private yacht. In what way would this advance the development of Alaska? Would such an expenditure for such a purpose, assist the miner to procure cheaper supplies, or provide better fa- cilities for, the transportation of those supplies across-coantry?. .s--,. Has Governor Brady advanced any idea in, legislation beneficial to the mi- ner? Had Brady exerted himself on behalf of the white population of Alas ka, one-half as much as he has on be- half of the Indian Alaska today would be knocking at the door of statehood. With Governor Brady, the Indian has always had the preference. and just as long as the Brady missionary element remain in charge Of official affairs; just so long will Alaska remain as she is to- day, ~~~"~r-s @
 What has been accomplished by the Brady Alaska exhibit at St. Louis? Did Brady exert himself there on behalf of the miner there,y encouraging the de- velopment of the mineral resources of the district?' What assistance could the miners of Alaska receive from the fi- nancial world by an'exhibition of Indian curios, such as totem poles, toboggans beaded, mccassins, etc.? Would this bring help to tine miners in the way of cheaper supplies, and better means of transportation, or would it havesa ten dency to create sympathy for the poor Indian, and invite contributions to the

Terrible | sect Pest in Highland

The rosebug, which has during recent
years become terrible pest and scourge
in Highland county, has made its an
nual appearance, and the unequal war
fare between the fruit gro wer and this
countless army of destructive insects
is ''on." AS a result. perhaps, of the
cold, late season, these pests were over
due. and the hope is entertained that
their stay will be shorter and the ter
ritOry covered less extensive than usual.
So much dreaded are they by High.
land people and so familiar have we
become with their habits and customs,
that their presence at known point
is first anticipated, and the progress of
their march and spread can be caIcnl-
ated with remarkable accuracy.
The only successful method of com
batting them is the troubles ONE and
expensive one of yelling the vines and
small trees. Insect powders have nc
terrOrs for them, ard no process of
fumigation or spraying is effective,
one grower Of the county having killed
a fine young orchard of peach trees in
! an effort to poison the bugs.

LOSS IN CROSS BREEDING.
Poultrymen Who Want to Make
Money Should Stick to the
Standard Varieties,

By cross breeding we mean the mat
ing OF two distinct breeds with the OBJ
Ject OF producing something better
than the breeder can find in the es-
tablished breeds. We will at the out
set say that we do not advise any
farmer to do this if he is looking for
profit from the results. If a man
wishes to play with nature to see
what the result will be, there can be
no objection to his cross breeding.
The man that cross breeds with the
idea of establishing a new and popu-
lar breed is almost certain to be dis
appointed. 1t is altogether unlikely
that he will be able to produce any
thing superior to the breeds now ex-
listing. If he did it would be about i'm
possible to make anyone else think so
and 1t would cost a good deal of money
to advertise the new breed Then the
sale of a few birds would virtually
throw the breeding open to the world
with little hope of financial profit to
the originator of the breed. 1t takes
at least ten years to produce new
breed by crossing. This was the case
with the Orpingtons. Cross after cross
had to be made to get shape and color.
and then several more years had to be
spent in fixing the qualities, so that
the offspring would be fairly true to
type. The man that tries to make a.
fortune out of the creation of a new
breed is in the same category as the
FARMER who tries to produce a race
horse that will become worth a for
tune. In either case the prizes are
SO lew as to be not worth considering.
For practical purposes it is far better
to stick to the established breeds and
improve them than to attempt to
create new breeds by crossing

BEANS AND BEAN REFUSE.
They Can Be Disposed OF to Most
Profitable Advantage in the
Poultry Yard.

The canniest hen woman | know has
claims an increased egg yield from
their use. Taking into account the
fact that the hens were not particular
ly well housed, and that their other
rations consisted of corn, oats and
buckWheat, | am inclined to join her
in this opinion. Beans are rich in
proteids and carbohydrates. In this
instance they helped to furnish the
constituents for eggs, for when every
body's hens were loafing this flock
were attending strictly to their du-
ties. l may say that the biddies took
up the bean habit" themselves In
the fall the beans were cooked twice a
week for the pigs. The hens would
! crowd about the receptacle in which
the beans were placed and eat to re-
pletion when they could get an abun-
dance of other food By the time they
went into winter quarters they were
laying well, and they continued to do
SO all winter. A percentage of the
bean crop is unmarketable from being
ing will convert this waste into a
valuable food for the poultry shall we
not go and do likewise?
There is another product of the bean
| thrasher for which l wish to speak a
| word of praise; that is the dry fine
dirt which comes from the rollers,
| bushels and bushels of it. One is
often too much hurried in the busy
| season to secure an adequate supply of
| dry earth for winter USE The bean
| thrasher will do this for you and de-
| post it upon the barn floor, all ready
to be shoveled into barrels. Not a
pound shall be wasted on our prem
lses SO long as we keep hens. The
fowls love to scratch and dust them
selves in it, one member of the family
even declares they eat it, this in addi-
ton to its advantages as an absorb
ent. Save the bean dust and your
fowls will be healthier and happier

Green Pasture for Geese

Geese are ''grassers, and will do well
on green pasture. If they have access
to creek or lake so much the better.
but they can be successfully grown with
out water to swim in. In fattening thew
need some good sound grain every day.
Geese are good for their feathers, good
to sell and good on the home dinner
table. But the cook must know how to
cook them or they will have the charac-
teristic goose flavor, which is generally
very distasteful to American palates.-
