kind deeds and more helping hands
than ever before And there Is wider

OLD SNAKE GAVE IN.
chitto Hario Finally Consented TO
Testify Before the Commission.


Okmulgee. Nov. For the first time
the government officials have succeed
ed in getting Chitto Harjo, the stub.
born old leader Of the Snake band OF
indians. to give testimony before the
commission For ten years he resist
ed every effort of the government and
has advised all Of his followers 20 do
the same. He would not take his al
lotment and was arbitrarily filed on
a piece OF land that be never saw.
/ The officials consider this an impor-
tant matter. The matter in which
Harjo testified was the enrolment
case of negro who claimed that he
was a nephew OF Chitto Harjo. The
old chief swore that he had never had
a brother who had children. This ei-
fectually balks the attempts OF the
negro TO get an allotment to which he
is not entitled.
There have been a great many ap-
plicants for enrolment who have
claimed blood relation with Chitto
Harp or his followers because they
knew that these Snakes would not 90
before the commission and testify and
ihat Il would be almost impossible to
get such evidence from them as would
disproVe the claim. 1t is believed that
now the leader Of the Snakes has
consented to give evidence the rest
will follow and that there will be many
applicants who are claiming lndiar
blood disapproved and they will lose
their allotments which will be tina
much to the benefit of the nation.
The old chief was induced to go be
fore an enrolling party by the Creel

Gold In the Transvaai.

During the first four months Of 1904
the Transvaal mined 1,1Y2,514 ounces
of gold, worth $24,651, 149. During a
corresponding period in 1908 the out
put was S31,12S ounces, worth ST.
3S7,532. The total product of gold in
1898 was worth SCI, 265,570. If the
rate of production of the first four
months of 1901 is maintained, the
Transvaal will yield in 1904 at least
$77,S64,OO worth of the yellow metal
in other words, as much as in the
years just preceding the Boer war.
English enthusiasts are looking for a
future ouoput in the Transvaal of
100000, 900 to $15O,OOO,OOO year.

Strikes in Canada.

The loss of time to employees
through trade disputes throughout
Canada during June was approximate
ly 62,4SS working days. This is an in
crease of nearly 5000 days compared
wit hthe previous monthsa and is largely
accounted for by strike of iron and
stee workers at Sydney, Nova Scotia
in which $4,000 working days were
lost. In June, 1908, there was a loss
Of 122,612 working days, about 10000
more than in the present year.
Three disputes ended in favor of the
employers and three in favor OF the
strikers. Four disputes ended In com
promises satisfactory to both parties
and in the remaining case, which con
cerned the employment of nonunion
lists, the difference ceased with the
initiation of the new employees into the
union.

Every housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in A-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a
1907. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts IL Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
tiers and figures "16 ozs." Demand
Defiance and save much time and
money and the annoyance Of the iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.
