steamer Strathcona we're also blown ashore
during the storm and the former may be a
total loss. The crews of all three steamers
are safe. When the Theano struck the
wind was blowing fifty miles an hour and
the snowstorm caused the ship to run north

YEARS WORK FOR THE INDIANS
COmmissIOner Leupp's Annual Report
shows Encouraging
Features.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1S.-Thc annual re-
port Of Francis r. Leupn commissioner
of Indian affairs was made public today.
Mr.. Leupp says that 10 congress passed
so much legislation Of vital importance to
the Indians as the last session Of that
body.
To promote the training Of the indian in
the culture Of sugar beets and TO secure
legislation looking 20 an equitable division
OF tribal funds thereby making the red
man n free and independent citizen. are
the two projects for which the commits
sioner is working hardest as future accom-
phshments. To carry out the beet sugar
plan. legislation is needed authorizing the
extension Of Indian land leases beyond the
hve-year period.
Regarding the allotment Of tribal funds,
the commissioner says that while he would
prefer notifications in the Lacey bill,
which passed the house and is now before
the senate, he would rather see this meas
ure become law than to have no action
taken.
Indians have been encouraged during the
past year 70 seek labor outside the reserva-
tlons with a showing Of. beneficial results,
which leads the commissioner TO regard
this valuable means of developing self
supporting independence. The co-education
of white and Indian children in the public
schools has been encouraged. TO this end
contracts have been made with county
school authorities wherever practicable,
and the result has been gratifying.
The expenditure for the Indians for the
past fiscal year aggregates sl2,7l5,s59 The
commissioner explains that the items Of
largest increase were the one fulfilling
treaty stipulations-S1 7l5 92i--and the irri-
cation project. on which $3,loi59j was spent.
Mr~Leupp declares the Burke law OF the
last session will enable the Indian office
to manage the AFFAIRS OF the helpless class
Of Indians with undisputed authority and
to remove from the roll of wards and de-
pendents the large and increasing number
OF Indians who no longer need any super
vision from "a bureau in Washington.
