INHERITED INDIAN
LANDS TO BE SOLD

The general land office of the
United States will shortly institute
series of what will be known az
inherited Indian sales. In 1892 a
law was passed by congress provid-
ing for the allotment to each Indian
of whatever tribe of quarter sec
ton of the land of his reservation.
This law applied to the old and
young, male and female.
Many a1lotments were made soon
after the law was passed, and the
Indian owners of the allotment
have since died, from time to time.
Their land passed into the hands of
the interior department in the capa-
city of an administrator on whole
sale scale. The department now
has about 500 of these estates to
settle, many of them in the Crow
reservation, and will begin to sell
the land and dispose of the proceeds
of the sale to the heirs of the dead
Indians, in the regular order of adj
ministering upon the respective
estates.
The land will be sold to the high
est bidder, white or Indian, and the
man who buys tract will receive
a regular deed from the government,
just the same as if the transaction
was between individuals. In few

to the east at the rate of rs feet
per mile, and toward the river at
the rate of 2 to feet per mile.
The moving ground water extends
several miles north from the river
valley. No north or south limit
was found. The rate of movement
is very uniform.
The underflow has it's origin in
the rainfall on the sandhil1s south
of the river and on the bottom lands
and plains north OF the river. The
influence of the floods in the river
upon ground-watcr level does not
extend one-half mile north or south
of the channel. A heavy rain con-
tributes more water to the under
flow than does flood. 1t was found
that on the sandy bottom lands 90
per cent of an ordinary rain reaches
the water plane as permanent con-
tribution.
The amount of dissolved solids in
the underflow grows less with the
depth and with the distance from
the river channel. There is no ap-
preciable run-off in the vicinity of
Garden, Kansas. Practically all of
the drainage is underground through
the thick deposits of gravels. Care
fully constructed wells in Arkansas
Valley are capable of yielding very
large amounts of water There is
no indication of decrease in the
undcrflow at Garden in the last five
years, as the city we'll showed the
same specific capacity in 1904 that
it did in 1899.

PERPETUAL FERTILITY
OF OUR DESERT LANDS

1t is no theoretic fancy on the
part of the writer but plain, indis-
putable statement of scientific facts.
l. means that while the rain
bleachcd soils of the Atlantic states
are now practically worthless, that
the rolling prairies of the great
middle west will some day lose
the constituent mineral elements
SO necessary for the growth of
crops and will have to be artificial
ly supplied by so-called fertilizers,
our soil is practically inexhaustible.
The desert lands are the best in
the country, but they mock at pri-
vate initiative and the free-booting
money makers. This is providen-
tial fact. These lands have been re-
served without human foresight for
great adventures in corporate civili-
cation. We need to be reminded,
perhaps, that the famous cities of
the antique world were for the most
part founded upon the practice of

INVESTIGATION
OF UNDERTOOK
Report Of Geological Sur
vey on Mountain Home
Quadrangle to be
Published,

Here at Mountain Home and in
adjacent territory there is an under
flow of water, from eight to twenty
feet below the surface, in connec-
ton with which some interesting
phenomena are manifested, in rela-
ton to the presence and disappear
ance of water in wells, bitches and
caves. Old settlers have various
theories on this subject, but they
are, of course, not the conclusions
of experts. All think that the water
is on its way from the mountains to
Snake river. The United States
Geologic Survey now has in prep
aration map and report on the
Mountain Home quadrangle, which
it is hoped will discuss this subject.
The Survey has just published such
a paper on the undcrflow of Ar
kansas river, regarding which the
following bulletin has been issued:
An investigation of the underflow
of Arkansas river, western Kansas,
was made during the summer of
1904 by members of the United
States Geological Survey. They
worked under the general direction
of Professor Charles S. Slichter,
who has since written a report of
the investigation, which the Survey
publishes as Water-Supply and IT.
rigation Paper No. 1873.
The water-plane or ground-water
level was mapped within distance
of to II miles from the river
channel, and observations were
made by the electrical method of
the rate of movement of the under
flow. The ground water levels
were obtained by observing the
water levels in private wells in
the neighborhood of the river and in
a few wells which were sunk es-
pecially for this purpose.
1t was found that the underflow
of Arkansas river moves at an aver
age rate of feet per "a hours,
in the general direction of the
valley. The water plane slopes

The splendid courage of little Miss

taken to the Salisbury hospital with
severe injuries, but this brave girl,

badly bruised, her right eye being dis

trying to cheer up the other women

is two years old, and tanning him to
