COST MILLION DOLLARS

More than million dollars are be-
ing used by the Rock Island Railway
company in replacing wooden trestles
with steel bridges on the lines of the
Southwestern and Choctaw districts.
This money is being expended under
the direction of ]. G. Bloom, engineer
of maintenance. In all. two and eight
tenths miles of wooden trestle will be
taken out this year to be replaced by
steel
The largest bridge to be put in this
year is the one over the South Cana
dian river at Union city 1. T., near
FL Reno, Ok It will be 1000 feet long,
and will be eight feet above high water
mark. All but one pier is already
completed and the steel material has
already begun to arrive. Work will
soon begin on the actual construction
of the arch
The abutments and piers are OF solid
concrete, zoe feet apart. The entire
gooden trestle will be taken down piece
by piece and the steel bridge viii be
put in its place a piece at a time. It
is planned to keep traffic moving over
the bridge all the time this is being
done without delay to the trains.
The fact that trains will be running
across the bridge at all times during
the process of replacing one with the
other makes it an unusually costly and
difficult piece of engineering. This
bridge alone will cost approximately
a quarter of million dollars.
The work over both districts is di-
vided SO that in addition to that done
by the railway company forces, three
large contracting firms with large
forces are engaged.

The Indians. he said, will be dis
banded as far as their tribal relations
under the government are concerned,
and they Will shift for themselves in
dividually. There are >. 100 of them,
a large proportion of whom are half
breeds. Their claims against the
United States of 100000 will be
paid. and the money will be distrib-
uted among them in equal proportion.
1t is partly for this reason that the In
dian lassies some of whom are quite
pretty have found much favor of late
and many are getting married. Their
marriage does not prevent them from
receiving a large dover from the gov
eminent nor are the half-breeds pre-
vented from enjoying the benefits of
the money. In addition, land will be
allotted to the tribe and so fixed that
they cannot sell it for many years to
come. This viii prevent their gam
bling it away.
The Indians are quite interested
in politics, as shown during the cleo
ton Of the chief every year They
GO not say much, but they electioneer
a good deal among themselves and
they get a square deal because the
election machinery is in the hands of
the Indian agents. Just now they are
worried over their status in the state-
hood bill. which they believe allows
them to vote in the election for dele
gates to the constitutional convention.
but not in the general elections that
follow. They are about divided be-
tween Republicans and Democrats,
but the pure Indian will not be serv-
iceable to either party very long. for
they are dying rapidly. Unless an
Indian intermarries he usually dies of
