boutwell, ON
indian LIFE
OF In d ia n
School in Blaine County
HAS STUDIED SUBJECT
In Three Generations Full
bIoods viii Disappear

Enid, o. T, Jan. 2-.When a person
reads about the courage of the AmeIi-
can Indian. he is reading roa.' said B.
s. Boutwell,, superintendent OF the Indian
schoio at Cantonment. in Blaine county.
AN Indian always wants to be sure he
is safe on a proposition, and has little
courage. The race is weak one, and
composed almost wholly Of frail pieces OF
serni-savage humanity"
Mr. Boutwell, is in the city. spending
few days vacation, says the Eagle.
AS superintendent OF the school and
agency. Mr.. Boutwell, has had vast oppor-
tunities TO study the conditions and the
characteristics Of the race. He talked for
more than an hour, and gave many new
points on Indian life and lore.
1T will be only matter of two or
three generations until we viii have no
Indians left 1t is true, probably, that
there are as many Indians in America
today as there were when Columbus
landed, which is a statement made by
Commissioner Jones, but the number to-
day includes all. whether they be full
or as low as one-eighth bloods. In a
generation or so, the full bloods will be
extinct.
Indians are natural born artists, but
their artistic sense never deviates from
the Indian l mean by that, an Indian
will draw good picture Of a brick
house. but he'll draw a better one OF
an Indian tepee. l presume it is the
same instinct that makes a Carlisle grad
uate let his hair grow long after gradual
ing, and 90 back &c his skin house and
live wild life.
In the schools, the chief object in
teaching them is to make them be in
dustrious. We have regulations and our
work is all done with a system, by the
students. They like TO read. but are
alone interested in stories of flowers and
birds. In music they take TO the piano
or brass instruments. but in string in
struments. never make q success Of them.
The girls learn to sing, and occasionally,
some of the boys will take part in the
singing at the schools.
I'VE have been taught to think that
Indians are not afectionate, but often.
there is 4 marked degree of affection
among them. II is q tradition that In
dams never cry, but they do. They will
stand pain. though without whinper.
A little girl got her finger mashed of
recently in the cogs Of the nanglc OF our
laundry. She never utters a sound or
complaint about the Pain.
An Indian doesn't appreciate A favor.
If you give him bread today. tomorrow
he will ask for two pieces. ana the next
day Will want coffee thrown in. and If
you refuse. will be greatly offended. One
Of the hardest things we have to do is
TO teach the little Indians to say thank
you
There are about 1900 Indians attend
ing the various schools over the United
States, and they cost the government
from a hundred dollars up to hundred
ami twenty dollars each year. Mr.. 9th
well thinks it is money well spent, for
he says the Indians are rapidly realiz-
ing that to live, they must work. and
many have set out to earn their own way.
In the school at CantOument. there arc
three young men who do clerical work
one being an expert steponsrapher.

AGENT GOES TO WASHINGTON.
Would Consult Payment of the Legal
Creek Claims.

Guthrie. o. T., Jan. "A Muskogee dis
patch says within a few days Colonel
]. Blair Schoenfelt Indian agent here,
will leave for Washington to confer with
the secretary OF the interior regarding
the payment Of the loyal Creek claim
amounting $4,000. 1t is not known how
long it will be before the actual payment
Of money can commence, but Agent
Schoenfelt hopes to SO arrange matters
as to begin some time during the first
part of next month.
The need for money which this payment

are naturally of a shiftless disposition
and when they were informed last spring
that the payment of their claims against
the country had been authorized manv Of
them paid out little attention to their
families in absolute restitution. What a
relief the payment of this money will
mean can be seen from the fact that
enough will be distributed to give each
resident in the Creek nation s., where the

SPUR TO THE MOUNTAINS.
Busy Week Pushing the Work on Pro-
posed Line.

Granite. Q. T., Jan. 2.-This has been
a busy week on the site of the pro-
posed railroad spur TO the mountain. The
grading outfit and about 60 men arrived
Thursday night and work on the grade
began bright and early Christmas morn
ing. and the dirt has been flying every
day since. The contractors have large
camp house and stable erected near the
mountain and are pushing the work as
fast as possible with all the men they
can set, says the Enterprise.
A force Of men are now at work quarry
ing the stone and getting it ready for
shipment and it will be only a short time
until the Rocy Island will be distributing
granite along their right of way as need
ed. All the work IS being done in a sub

DESIRE TO SELL.
Would Remove Restriction on Sale of
Real Estate.

Guthrie, o. T., Jan. "A Muskogee dis
patch says Colonel r. R. Owens has left
here for Washington to Ian before Secre-
tary Hitchcock a letter which has been
adopted by the chamber of commerce
here in the futherance of its plans to
secure the removal of the restrictions
on the sale of Indian lands. The letter
sets forth the purpose Of the chamber
of commerce which is the taking of
testimony of reputable witnesses through
out the territory and invites the secre-
tary TO have representative present.
The taking of this testimony will begin
on January Z, in the rooms Of the cham
Der Of commerce.
Another letter has been written and
will be sent to all of the towns through
out the territory asking for the co-opera-
ton in this effort to have the restrictions
removed
The adoption of these measures did
not receive the unqualified support of all
the members present at the meeting yes
terday but there were enough in favor
to carry it over the heads of the oppo-
sition. Certain Republicans who were
against the measure contend it was
passed only that several prominent Demo-
Gratis might secure political power.
A great many of the Cherokees arc
going to Canada and elsewhere and they
are DESTROYS of selling their lands in the
Indian country and taking up lands in
Canada. A great many are already in
Canada.
1t is also pointed out that the negroes
want to sell their land and they will be
more able to take care of 1t at the end
Of five years than they are now. They,
also. in many cases, wish to leave the
Indian territory but cannot as long as
they are compelled to remain here il or
der to hold their allotments

a number of unsigned anti-Roosevelt let
ters that have for some time now been

Ohio and contain no written but only
clipped matter. These are opposing
Roosevelt as the next presidential candi

Grimes suggests that the purpose back
