JEMEZ INDIANS
SAW PRESIDENT
Reached Home After Heap Big Time
in Washington-No Money But
Fine Trip.

| Jose Romero, chief Of the Jemez In
dians, Manuel Yeppa, second chief
and Jesus Baca interpreter, forming
the delegation from the Jemez pueblo,
which left recently for Washington to
lay a long list of grievances before
President Roosevelt, reached Santa
Fe yesterday and left for theircpueb-
10. They saw the President, told him
their troubles and took in all the
sights in Washington, Chicago and
Kansas City
The President received Chief Ro-
nero at the White House and had a
long interesting conversation with
him. The chief explained to the Presi-
dent that his people claimed title to
a large tract of land near the pueblo
now held by natives engaged in farm
ing and livestock raising and asked
that this land be restored to the Je-
mez tribe.
He also asked that the Jemez In
dams be allowed to live as did their
forefathers for hundreds of years and
to enjoy the privilege Of holding their
sacred dances and ceremonials undis-
turbed by inquisitive tourists.
Chief Romero. who is stately dig
nified, gray haired old brave, prepared
and delivered quite an interesting
speech, through an Interpreter. He
told how the Jemez, once the Pecos
Indians, had at all times befriended
the white man, and had saved him
many times from death at the hands
of other Indians. He argued that as
the Jemez Indians wanted nothing but
to be let alone in the exercise of their
customs and ancient habits of life.
they should be protected by the
United States government from any
interference. In conclusion, he
thanked the President for his cour-
tesy and presented the compliments o.
the Jemez tribe. The President
shook hands with the venerable chief
and referred him to the Department
on Indian Affairs.
When he left here, Chief Romero
carried big leather satchel filled
with money for the expenses Of his
trip 1t then had fat healthy look
to it. When he returned, the grip
was habby and empty. Pointing to it,
the big chief said
Lots of money when we go. NO
money when we come home. Costs
heap to see so much. Indians don't
care. Had fine time President, him
great big man and good to Indians.
Now we go home. Indians very
tired"

RAILWAY YARD
MEN MAY STRIKE
No Settlement of
Wages at Pitts
burg.
FINAL CONFERENCE DECIDES
Whether the Companies Will
Yield.-Several Officials
Agree to Middle Scale

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. S.-A dispute
between local officials of the railroads
centering in Pittsburg and their EN-
ployes over scale for yardmen has
arrived at critical stage, and unless
settlement is reached within day
or so, fears are entertained for gen
eral strike in this district. Negotia.
tions with the Baltimore and Ohio are
already off and much depends upon
the meetings arranged for today with
the general managers OF the Pennsyl-
vania and Wabash lines.
Strike May Be ce'led at Any Time.
If these two companies take stand
similar to that Of the Baltimore 4
Ohio all the yard men in the Pittsburg
district will likely be called out on
strike in accordance with the result
of a vote Of this question by the train
men. The Pittsburg and Lake Erie
officials are understood to have agreed
to pay the middle SCALE" but it is
doubtful II the trainmen accept this
scale unless all other roads in this
district agree to similar proposition
The middle scale is one cent an hour
less than the scale paid in the Chi
cago district and is in effect In .Cleve-
land, Youngstown and other Ohio
points.
Report That Railroads Surrender.
w. G. Lee, vice grand master Of the
Brotherhood Of Railroad Trainmen,
this afternoon after long conference
with General Manager George L. Peck
Of the Pennsylvania roads west of
Pittsburg, said the Pennsylvania road
had agreed to grant middle scale
and that he had received information
that the Baltimore & Ohio had re-
ceded and would also grant the "mid-
die scale

Resignation.

There is no flock, however watched and
 tended, But one dead lamb is there. There Is no freside. howsoe'er defended, But has one vacant chair!
  We see but dimly through the mists and
 vapors; Amid these earthly damps What seem to us but sad, funereal
 tapers, May be heavens distant lamps. There is no Death! What seems so is
 transition; This life of mortal breath Is but suburb of the life elysian, Whose portal we call Death. And though at times, impetuous with
 emotion And anguish long suppressed, The swelling heart heayes moaning like
 the ocean, That cannot be at rest We will be patient and assuage the feel
 ing We may not wholly stay; By silence sanctifying, not concealing, The grief that must have way. Henry w. Longfellow.

A Spanish Relic.

Of all the missions in California the Santa Barbara Mission occupies the most commanding position. Standing on an elevation 300 feet above the sea, the white facade and long corridor may be seen from far out on the ocean, forming a striking object to sailor or tourist. Back of the mission the mountains rise to a climax of gran deur; on the other side rolls the fer tile country with lovely little houses, half buried In flowers, shrubs and trees; and beyond the city gleams the peaceful sea dotted with gliding ships.
 After entering the mission visitors are received by Brother Huygoline, the noted cicerone. He is a most interest ing man, very cordial to strangers, pleased to show them about and pre- pared to answer all questions regard ing the mission except those about the Mysterious Garden" His account of the early mission days is most vivid.- Four-Track News

MAKING A DREAM USEFUL.
All tho Waking Hours Should Be
 Spent in Profitable Pursuits.

A. E. Gibson presents an exhaustive analysis of the physical and psychical basis of dreams. He sums up his views in part as follows: To sum up the argument, dream and waking diff fer in degree and form of manifesto tion only, not in principle and essence Like waking consciousness, dream re- veals, but does not create. The same world that surrounds the waking in dividual surrounds the dreaming, only the viewpoints and media of observa- tion are changed.
 AS the life experience of an individ- ual in his waking consciousness re- oelves its character and value by and through his power of response to en- vironment, so in a similar way the value of dream depends upon the power of the ego to respond to con sciousnesS in it's various forms of emO- tions, ideas and feelings which consti- tute the environments of the subject i've or dream plane. Waking or dream ing the individual is, or becomes, what he chooses to be at any given moment of his existence.
 The background for ordinary dreams consists of undigested remnants Of waking life. Hence ordinary dreams are merely undigested life, being made up by longings, desires, anticipations, idle hopes and miscarried realizations, which, occupying the mind during the lay, are cvertaken by sleep before hav- ing reached their fruition. Hence the mixture, in most dreams, of the sane and tle insane, of truth and delusion.
 On the other hand, the life lived out and assimilated in purposeful exist ence becomes absorbed in the forma. ton of character and leaves no residue to form the bizarre staging for the confused dream. And to such an sn- dividual the munitions of dream life, with their dazzling imagery, will in troduce symbols which, properly inter preted, may carry the significance of provision or prophecy. Therefore, to turn dreams into useful, intelligent and ineligible factors we must fill our waking life with deeds and thoughts of universal usefulness and freight the train of events with an un- Ainching devotion to duty and virtue Medical Record.
