WHITE SLAVERY INCREASES
Girls in British Columbia Reared
and Fattened for the
Market.

The religious people and the tenn
perance people in Canada are up in
arms over the report which has been
made public by the dominion govern
ment to the effect that in certain
parts Of British Columbia there are
regular slave markets as cruel as were
ever known in darkest Africa. This,
coupled with the recent exposures
about the traffic in young girls be-
tween certain procurers In Canada
and the United States, has stirred up
the authorities and vigorous action IS
going to be taken Immediately to sup
press the things referred to. The do
minion government has intimated to-
the government Of British Columbia
that if it thinks it will not be able
to suppress the horrible state OF af-
fairs the national government Will
step in and see that this blot on the
fame o. Canada be wiped out imme-
diately.
The slavemasters in question are
the Cape Nudge Indians Of British
Columbia, who go in for a regular traf-
fic in supposedly white girls, but who
are in reality quarter, eighth and six
teenth breed girls. So successful have
these Cape Nudge Indians been in
this traffic and so rich have they grown
over it that the Rock Bay Indians, an
other tribe, are also going in for the
traf1ic. The story would be too wild
for belief if it were not that the &C
ton of the dominion authorities is
taken upon formally attested COM
plant OF G. J. South, the superintend-
ent Of the Children's Aid society.
It was known that in British Colum
bia. the same as in all new countries,
immoral relations existed between the
white men, prospectors and adventur'
ers and the Indian women in many
cases with the knowledge Of their
male relatives. but 1t was not known
that the evil had assumed such hor-
rible and systematic proportions,
The trade seems to have gone on
for at least two generations and with
each year the girls have become
whitar OF skin.
/ The reason for that is that their
grandmothers were sold TO white men
as they are now. that their mothers
whose skin had commenced 10 wniter
were sold in turn, and SO on ill their
daughters and granddaughter when
they have them and when they are
sold as slaves viii hardly possess any
4 adherence in appearance from the real
white girls.
Even now they are so white that
but for their heavy coils of dark hail
and their dark habylike eyes, they
might be taken for white people. Some
even have light hair.
The Indians referred to live alonG
the northern coast Of British Colum
bia and they carefully train and car'
for the girls like they would a tur

PAVING OF COUNTRY ROADS
First Step Taken Toward Distributing
Inheritance Tar for Highways
COUNTY BOARD ASKS FOR ESTIMATES
Election Omcers who Served M
Recent Primaries Put in Bid
for Adequate Pay for
Enormous Job.

The first step toward the distribution Of
the money raised by the inheritance tax
for permanent road was taken at the meet
ing of the county board Monday morning
when the county engineer was directed
to furnish the board with estimates Of
the cost of paving West Q street three
miles west from South Omaha; the Fort
Calhoun road three miles from the north
limits Of Florence and the West Leaven-
worth road from the city limits to the
park. The board did not designate that
these roads would be paved but merely
asked for estimates as a preliminary to
the appropriation of money for paving.
A delegation from Florence headed by
the mayor of the village and including a
number of prominent citizens and prop
erty owners visited the board and asked
that at least half OF the fund now in the
hands of the board be expended on the
Fort Calhoun road. They pointed out
that the road was the main artery between
Omaha and Washington county and that
that part OF the county did not get any
OF the $3.50 900 the board has expended in
the past for paved roads. Among those
in the delegation were Messrs Walker,
Price. OImsted, Crofoot, Learned and
Tucker They asked that the road be
built from the railroad north and in order
to enable the board to do this offered 10
vacate a part OF what IL now in the village
limits lying north of the railroad tracks.
The law does not permit the use OF the
funds inside city or village limits.
The matter was brought before the
board by a resolution introduced by p. j.
