GLUTToNY A-..c,.G INDIANS
Enormous Quantities of Provisions,
Consumed by Remnants of
Sioux Tribe.

; To remedy the gluttony of the In
Rlves to death, the Indian bureau is
trying to make good housekeepers of
the Indian girls. Ten times as much
wheat -four is used by the Sioux to-
day as Is years ago. 1t is said by the
agents that, where cereals and wheat
-four are used by the Indians, there
Is some hope of civilizing them and
curing them OF gluttony.
At the schools, among the first
things in their course, the girls are
taught to make bread. But these les
sons have not reached the wigwams
on the reservations to any marked de-
gree. The Indian cares little for wheat
- ad anyway. Cereals don't interest
him. he reservations west of here
are places al least where patent break
fast foods are not fashionable.
Ten months in the year the Sioux
Indian prefers meat, and the average
meal consists of coffee, meat, beans,
dried fruits and corn sirup. The last
dish is great favorite with the In
dians.
At some time in the past the New
Englanders traded beans for furs or
wampum, and since that day the navy
bean has been a favorite dish with the
red man. They prefer it in soup, and
as beans are sometimes dear and hard
to secure 25 or 80 miles from the rail-
road, the soup of the wigwam many
times consists of "one bean and two
soups"
The potato has never had a high
standing with the Indian. A dish SIM
liar to chop suey may be found in al
| most any Indian home. and fair
grade of Mexican chill can be secured,
but the delicately baked potato, so cas-.
| lily prepared in the ashes of a camp
fire, is as little known to the Sioux
Indian as Saratoga chips are to the
natives of Swat.

bottom of the canals. These staircases
will be placed at convenient intervals
for the accommodation of boating par
ties and bathers. An elaborate electric
system similar to that on Broadway
has been contracted for and the beauti-
full clusters of lights will follow the
line of the canals and also the bay
front. All streets are of asphaltum
and sidewalks will be of concrete,
twelve feet in width, and as an indica-
tion of the interest in this the finest
beach residence city on the continent.
A. M. and A. G. Parsons report sales
last week aggregating over 100000. This
project does not appeal to the class
that depends upon hurdy-gurdy attrac-
tions to furnish amusement but caters
particularly to homebuilders and they
of the better class. Being as 1t is the
highest class proposition ever offered
to the public of Southern California it's
success is already assured. No other
enterprise of like nature can begin to
compare with it. inasmuch as $2,000,000
will be spent in permanent improve
ments within the next two years.
Seventy-five purchasers of lots at
Naples have already expressed inten-
tion to build beautiful summer homes
of Neapolitan architecture in modern
Naples before July 1, everyone of
which will be covered with red tile
roofs. In fact the restriction upon
builders provides that all buildings Of
whatsoever nature are to be rooted with
red tile of approved design.
The corporations interested in eX-
plotting this grand enterprise are hav-
ing two motor boats built that will
easily outrank anything Of the kind in
existence. They will be twenty-eight
feet in length, beautifully finished in
mahogany and containing elegant
appointments that will be striking in
novations in boat building. In addition,
four launches are now on the water
and are being used to show visitors
what is doing at Naples. Two genuine
Italian gondolas are en- route and on
their arrival will be put in service on
the canals.
The offices Of the Naples company
have been removed from the H. w.
Hellman building to the corner of Sixth
and Main streets. the ground floor of
the Pacific Electric building and are
notable for the beauty of finish as we'll
as the convenience of their arrange
ment. All told there are eleven offices,
two of which are occupied by A. M.
and A. G. Parsons and the others by
the various tract agents exclusively
employed by the firm. The old saying,
"See Rome and die" Is now obsolete
and in its stead is the better one, See
Naples, and begin to live"
