Special to The Journal
Deadwood, s. D., Sept. 7.-Maior John R.
Brennan, Indian agent at Pine Ridge saws tina
the report that the Indians are dying ont IA
not true ut Pine Ridge. The Indian population
on Pine Ridge is now 6,727, IN increase OF
about 300 over the census of four years ago.
Another fact which shows that the Indians ru-
cially are not becoming extinct is that the
Infant population. When Indian mothers. learn
how 10 for their children iii infancy the
race will then show u good increase. The belief
that tuberculosis is carrying of the red men
III great numbers is another theory that Major
Brennan does not find borne out at his agency.
On Pine Ridge, about LOCO or !, 700 able
bodied Indians are dropped from the ration list
In the spring and not put on again until the
winter makes it difficult for even an able
bodied Lo to keep soul and body together OF
this number, 500 600, are men, all Of WHOM,

them. Tor those, however. who cannot procure
work the government supplies it.
An irrigation project has been in process of
construction on Pine Ridge agency for four
years. The work is all done by Indians, who
receive $125 a day man and $3.50 for d
with team. Already hundreds OF acres
have been reclaimed from mere pasture land
and being cultivated by the Indians, with
the result that good crops, especially Of vege-
tables, are being raised. Dams are being built
at suitable places along the small creeks to
store not only the doodwaters, which would not
be sufficient in this region, but also the natural
flow. bitches are then dug to carry the water
to the various accessible parts
The Indians are much interested in this work.
They realize the benefit that irrigation will be
to them and contrary to" the belief held by
the majority of people, are glad to go to work
each returning spring. Some 800 or $50 men
are employed upon this work. and not less than
$50 Of their brothers working outside Of the
reservation. The Milwaukee railroad Is employ
ing number upon their extension into the
Black Hills while the North Western has many
Indian laborers in its employ, both in Dakota
and in Wyoming. They make good workmen,
for they are strong, silent and, as one railroad
boss put 1t, have not yet learned to loaf when
the boss back Is turned. -
The day schools OH the reservation opened on
Monday, and are full to overlooking. The
boarding school at the agency and the mission
school are also full. Aside from these schools,
the government Indian school at Rapid draws
about 100 boys and girls from Pine Ridge, and
numbers of them 60 also to Carlisle. Haskell and
other large institutions. Whether or not the
Indian will learn to work and to study is. no
