Still More Indian Lands.

Many papers have referred to the
opening of the Rosebud agency as the
last land lottery that the government
VIII ever hold. The Kansas City
Journal points out that as a matter of
fact, in air probability it is the first of
series of SIDES and openings which
will take place from time to time at
various Indian agencies scattered
throughout the country. The Indians
as that paper shows, have in the ag-
gregate an immense area of lands In
this country. and some of it is very
owners these lands are not being
properly farmed and developed. They
are going to waste I'm many instances
and this poor husbandry is exciting
the cupidity and hopes of the white
people settled along their borders
Such pressure has already been
brought to bear that the Indians have
been compelled to rel;nquish the Rose
bud reservation and the larger portions
of old Indian Territory. and it cannot
be doubted that this same fate will
overtake Indians elsewhere.
There are no Indian lands
left in New England or in
the East except in New York, bu,
they are found in the following states
and territories: Montana, Oklahoma

On JuIs,yf that same year the steamer
State of Maine, then the finest craft Of
her kind afoat, ran onto Point
Lepreaux, near EastpOrt. The State
was then a magnificent craft and had
only been running a short time. She
stayed on the ledge for three months.
big rock sticking right up through
her bottom and making it impossible
to haul her off. Finally, after hope of
saving her had about been abandoned.
she was fioated. She was then tOwed
to Bath and rebuilt at a cost of $780,
900 and is still running having only this
year been sold by the Eastern Steam
ship Company to the Joy Line of New
York. The State of Maine, when she
went on the rocks. broke her main
steam pipe, the same as did the City OF
Rockland. The International Steam
ship Company lost 100000 in 1884 as a
result of the disasters and 1t was a
terrible blow to them.
"Three steamers have gone on Grind
stone Ledge, including the City Of
Rockland, which found q resting place
there this week." continued the Port
land authority on shipping. 1.-THE first
was the old City of Cambridge. which
ran on the Boston, Bangor and Rock
land Division, and which struck there
i'm 1881. She never came off to my
recollection. but her boilers were taken
ont and nut into the New York which
ran between Portland and st. John.
Then the next was the City of Portland
which went on in 1884 and then the City
Of Rockland. BY a strange coincidence
all of the steamers which have been
wrecked there have been named after
cities with the word City in their
names. The City of Portland was
wrecked once before she found her
final resting place on Grindstone
Ledge. She was originally the steamer
New England and ran between Port
land and St. john, N. B. In 1872 she
went onto the Wolf Islands. midway
between EastpOrt and st. John. After
she had been on there a day or two she
upset and her boilers and engines fell
out of her. She then drifted off the
ledge and was towed into PASSPORT
where she was righted and then
brought here to Portland and rebuilt.
She was then renamed the City Of
Portland. There is another rather
curious coincidence in connection with
these boats and that is that not life
was lost in the wreck of the New Eng
land, City of Portland. State Of Maine
or City Of Rockland. which certainly is
quite remarkable.

But an attendance of $1,000 to 100000
day is not sufficient to repay the
cost and labor of creating the EXPOSE
ton, and unless something can be
done to arouse greater interest, the
fair will be a greater financial failure
than it's predecessors.

sition authorities will undertake a

With September the rush for the
fair will begin. if the people are really
awakened in the meantime to the mag
nitude Of the undertaking. The rates
will be cheaper. the weather will be
cooler and the advertising will tell.
Then during the remaining fall months
all records of worlds fair attendance
