 The move for it's restoration to the public domain was made by cattlemen whose ranges are in that part of the territory. They claim that they have been having a great deal of trouble with the Indians on account of their stock straying over that part of the reservation. They also represent that it is of little value to the Indians, who already have more land than they know what to do with.

SNAKES HAUL HIS BOAT.
Truthful Fisherman Tells Story Which
Must Be Believed.

Truthful Fisherman Tells Story Which
Must Be Believed.
DR.. Bergesser of Nevada is the pos
SCISSOR of lot of trained snakes which
some time ago he deposited in Tucker
Lake. AS soon as the doctor gets in a
sl1iff these trained snakes, which have
the faculty of distinguishing their
master from anyone else, swim to his
skiff, and hooking their tails over the
bow of his boat, haul him to the place
where the bass are playing thickest.
When the doctor prepares to fish
these educated reptiles unhook their
tails and swim away.
After the doctor catches boatload
of bass, these intelligent snakes re-
turn, hook their tails over the boat
and pull him to shore, always bidding
him good-by with hearty tailshake,
which they hold above the water in
a most friendly manner.
This is the reason DR.. Bergesser can
catch fish where other successful
anglers fail.
The doctor also says that he has
noted certain kind of frog which sits
on the bank and warns the fish not to
bite. and he always has to shoot these
frogs before he can have any luck
fishing.
The doctor is not only successful,
but he Is also a truthful fisherman, as
persons will realize who read of the
manner of mis- success as thus stipu-
lated.

Their Probable Fate.

It is told of an eccentric and elo-
quent Scottish divine that he once
met couple of his parishioners at the
house of a lawyer notorious for his
sharp practice, and of whose honesty
the minister had no great opinion. -

graciously, Doctor, these are mem
bers of your flock. May I ask do you
look upon them as white sheep or
black sheep?" -. >-..--.. !

doctor, drily, whether they are black
or white sheep, but I do know that il

For their musical message of Light.
For their bird,chanted burden of Song;
Praised be the young Earth reborn
For it's freshness and glory and might
And the thoughts of high solemn de-

Praised be the lips of the Day
For their clarion call to the field,
Where the Battle of Life must be fought,
Praised be the fire Of the fray,
Where the soul is refined and annealed.
And the spirit heroic revealed.
And pure gold from base substances
