PAYING OFF THE cHERoKEEs.
How the Indians Received Their
Money and Paid Their Debts.

From the Kansas City Star.
The Cherokee nation literally rolled in
money when the six and one-half million
dollars received from the sale of the Chero-
kee strip was disbursed among the tribal
citizens The per capita share was 1855. 10
The payment made usually with two
500 bills, one $50, one S10 one 50 and 10
cents in silver
The money was disbursed by Zeke Starr
treasurer and Henry Effort, assistant
treasurer of the nation Most of the. Indians
were in debt. and creditors swarmed in
towns where the payments were made T.
a Latta, who attended these payments, In
recalling incidents lately said:
Much has been told of the dishonesty of
the Indian. but In this payment there were
many examples of integrity. At Tahleauah

Old widow, drew for eleven participants

the merchants who sat at the tables be-
tween which she had passed After the
money had been counted out to her she
swept the entire amount into her apron and,
holding a corner in each hand she passed
from trader to trader. pausng before each
until each had taken sufficient amount to
balance her Indebtedness. Not once did she
count the change or investigate the account
she was honest, and conscious of her own
integrity did not question the honesty of
another. This was only one case. There
were scores like it. and. though not pleas
ant to relate the confidence thus placed
was sometimes betrayed. There are cases
where the greedy creditor took handful
and gave back no change.
A mixed blood or some astuteness came
to settle his account with a trader. In look-
Ing over his account he discovered a charge
for side saddle. amounting to SIS. He had
not made such a purchase and had the bill
remedied without trouble, the willy old

A parlor table was called into use and
money as high as ones chin was stacked

denomination.

artistic carving, and some carved tobacco
pipes are perfect gems of art.
In the selection of a .meerschaum pipe
one should be careful not to pick dead
white specimen. That which is of slight
creamy color will soonest take on that
beautiful rich yellow brown shade which so
delights the smoker. Nor should the meer-
schaum be too light. as that Is an indication
that 1t is too porous to color properly, while
on the other hand very heavy meer-
schaum may be almost too dense to absorb
the coloring nicotine.
A great many so-called meerschaum pipes
are made from artificial meerschaum,
material composed of the chips and dust of
meerschaum bonded with some solution and
moulded into blocks. The artificial product
Is somewhat heavier than the genuine.
There are still other ways of initiating
meerschaum, and novice will find much
difficulty In successfully Selecting a gen
uine meerschaum pipe of good quality

formed those of the horse"
DR.. Frank Baker, superintendent OF the
zoo. said the present baby at that place is
the second calf that has been born In the
National Geological Park from the same
pair. 1t has no horns and is regarded as
one OF the most interesting exhibits at the
park.
Other additions to the infant class at the
ZOO during the past week were one fallow
deer and six baby wild turkeys.
DR.. Baker also said that the birds In the
big flying cage are nesting. presenting an
interesting study, and that a number OF
night herons have been Matched.
Recent additions to the splendid collection
at the zoo were two white Indian cranes
(Grus leucogeranus). a most beautiful bird
which inhabits great area in central and
northern Asia. and visits portions Of north
ern India in winter. 1t is usually found
where there are large sheets of shallow
water. where 1t feeds among the rushes and
other aquatic plants. They are exceedingly
wary. This Is the first time that this spe
cies has been represented In the collection
In the park.
Reptile Known as Hellbender.
There have also been received six repul-
sive looking specimens of the "helibender."
or menopoma. This hideous-appearing rep
tile Is nearly related to the salamanders.
and more distantly to the frogs. 1t is from
Is to 20 inches long when adult, and is
quite common In the streams of western
Pennsylvania and southern Ohio. 1t is very
tenacious of life. and is an annoyance to
fishermen, taking their bait, but being of
no use. and rather repulsve to handle.
Three water moccasinS were received from
Florida several days ago and were added
to the kissing. wrigglng family of snakes.
The mule deer at the park were evicted
from their shelter house Friday In a rather
strange and unusual manner. A large
swarm of busy and antagonstfc bees took
possession of the structure and drove the
deer into the fenced Enclosure without
where they have been ever since. The ami
mails were not long in learning that the lit
tie American insects were provided with a
business end. and after they had been
stung several times they galloped outside
away from their tormentors. DR.. Baker
says beekeeper in the neighborhood of the
park has been notified and expects soon to
get the little honey-makers into hive.
Change in Diet.
The baby bears at the zoo have been
taken from their former diet of matted
milk and are now being fed on stale bread
and cows milk. They are now four and a
half months old and are thrifty and play
full. 1t was remarked by DR.. Baker as an
interesting fact that all bears In North
America are born in the month of January.
and that at their birth they weigh from 8
to II ounces. they are quite small, ap-
pearing like little balls of fur. They are
usually born two at a time. but sometimes
they come as triplets In park in Ohio 1T
is matter of record that the mother bears
there have given birth to their cubs for
number Of years between January 81 and
q of each season. The national zoo au-
thorities say this regularity of the breeding
period is considered as remarkable.

Hartman Negotiations for Pur-
chase of Sailtair Road In

p Status Quo.

( There has been much guessing on the
mart of some writers and in certain
auarters as TO the present status Of rail
road affairs in Salt Lake, and there
have been some wild conjectures. The
s;tuation is interesting, it might be
characterized as acute, and there are
o,e or two prominent facts that must
no stated. One is that the Z. H. Hunt
Inrton interests of southern California
.re in no way associated or identified in
tbe interurban struggle here, nor will
tbey be. Another is that the H. p.
clark people have not secured an
anton on the Saltair properties. Mr..
clark will not discuss the matter pro
ar con: and the third fact is that the
Hartman people are pushing with vigor
the work of double-tracking Fourth
Souih street westward. which may
block the Clark people in that direc-
ton.
No Developments Yesterday.
There were no new developments yes
terday in the matter Of the proposed
acouirement OF the Saltair properties
by the Hartman interests. II may be
said that the matter remains in status
quo. There is no doubt, however, but
what the Hartman people have and
are seriously considering the purchase
OF the Saltair railroad company and the
Saltair Beach company, but hitch has
arisen in the negotiations, the price
asked being indirectly The rock on
which the parties split. This is not to
be interpreted, however, that the nego-
tiations are off. only that there is a
temporary cessation of overtures.
Within the next thirty days there
will be some important and far.reach-
ing developments in the railroad field in
this State. Many projects are brewing.
and in the course of organization and
when they are brought to light there
will be some surprises.
