HUNTING ATTRACTS THEM.
Teachers in Territory Find II Hard
TO Keep the Indian Chill
dren in School.

Muskogee, I. THE Indian youth
chafes under the restraints Of school
life, and chooses rather to learn OF ma
ture in the solitude OF the forest or
along the streams Recognising this
tendency. the Indian nations incorpor.

visions which we're equivalent 10 pay
ing the parents for sending their chill
dren to school
Since the United States government
has taken charge of large number of
the schools In TIE rural districts of In
dian territory, Superintendent Benedict
has found II one Of his most difficult
tasks to keep up the attendance OF In
dian children under the system of the
white man, which provides only the
school and books and trusts to the par
ents TO appreciate the privilege of Civ
ing their children an education.
The falling of of attendance among
Indian children is especially heavy at
this season, when such excellent OPP
portunities offer for hunting deer, wild
turkey and other game in the woods
and on the prairies Superintendent
Benedict has sent out cards to teach
ers asking for statements Of attend
snce in January In advance OF the usu-
al quarterly report He has received
a number of these reports. and all
show a decided falling of in attend
'ance of Indian children number Of
causes for this condition. besides the
antipathy Of the average Indian for
confinement within the four walls Of
school house, are given, among them
bad health, scanty clothing and sick
ness.

Perhaps the strangers from the

LARGER CROP WORTH LESS

Measured In dollars, the 10000, oOc

less than the 10000 600 bales OF the 1909
crop. says the New York World The
difference in total value Is enormous. a

cents now.
Cotton Is selling at $40 bale now. as
compared with $40 TO SIS year ago AT

Exhibition by a Peru, Ind,
Citizen.

Peru, Ind.-While carrying bananas
from one room to another in the base
ment OF the Peru Wholesale Grocery
company's store John Lynch narrowly
escaped being bitten by kissing viper.
AS Lynch picked up bunch of bananas
he was startled by loud kissing noise
in front of his face, and with a scream Of
fright he dropped the bananas and ran.
With several other employees he returned
to investigate and on the floor, with its
head lifted foot above the bananas was
a Kissing viper nearly two feet in length,
and IL sprang at the men as they ap-
preached The snake was finally cap
tured alive.
The reptile, when It Kisses, can be
heard for distance of 80 feet, and is
said TO be poisonous, II is about an
inch and one-half In diameter at the
thickest point and its body is covered
with large green and black spots. It's
mouth extends back of its small, pierre
ing eyes, and a solid row OF teeth. a
sixteenth OF an inch out OF the upper
jaw, protrudes from the mouth. The
snake was brought to this city two
weeks ago in a carload OF bananas and,
as II was very cold when the car arrived,
the slake did not stir.

CHINESE TRIANGULAR SIGN

More OF less CT a problem TO all stu

The opening number was the Kaiser
marsch of Wagner. This was popular

great adaptation TO the real Wagner

cannot be paid to it, for usually the
attention is generally tied down to the
mere technicality of the rendition. The

rendered in excellent style, the An

movement. The theme is so melodious,
tender and at the same time possesses
that Virile power that makes it

GOLD PARK MINING COMPANY
PROSPERING
Camp Equipments of the Best, In=
cIuding Assay Office, and Work
Is Being Pushed
Rapidly

From the mines belonging to the Gold
Park Mining company in San Bernar-
dino county comes the report that work
is progressing rapidly with even a bet
ter outlook than was expected.
The property consists of ffty-four
claims, many of which are being
worked, but just at present the COM
pany is putting all of its energy upon
one claim, where it intends to sink
the main shaft 500 feet, as soon as labor
can do it.
The camp equipments are of the
finest, including an up-to-date assay
office.
Several of the ledges are as wide as
twenty feet, with good paying ore
Assays from picked samples of the gold
quartz run as high as $2700 per ton,
but many of the ledges average $50
Everything that comes out will aver
age So or better.
The mines are situated eighteen miles
from Dale, in San Bernardino county,
near the Riverside county line.
To reach them it is necessary to go to
thence to Twenty-nine Palms by
wagon, driving by way of Warren's
ranch and making altogether, drive
OF siXty-four miles.
The road is an excellent one all the
way. A party of Los Angeles men who
just returned report the scenery as
magnificent. The old native palms,
seen at Twenty-nine Palms, of which
eighteen are still standing; the luXur-
liant growth of young trees and the
Salton Sea in the distance, present q
scene most impressive.
The company is made up of Los An
geles men rnd is incorporated with a
capital stock OF $3,000,0O0. no shares be-
ing for sale at less than par. Only
treasury shares are now for sale, and
these only in sufficient amounts to de-
velop the property.
The country is stratified, the forma-.
ton being of porphyry, slate and
quartzite. Water is being hauled at
present from Twenty-nine Palm
springs, a distance of nine. miles. A
pipe line is to be laid at once to bring
in water to supply both this and the
neighboring mines.
