the electric railway, although an Ital-
ian priest, Able Salvatore Del Negro,
professor of natural philosophy at the
University of Padua. is reputed to have
designed an electric toy traction ma

1880. Davenport ran a toy motor

later at Springfield and Boston About

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The passing Of the
old year and the advent Of the new were
observed here in the good old-fashioned

the deafening din pealed the chimes from
Trinity and less historic spires, under
which congregations gave the occasion a
religious significance.
Rain which had fallen steadily through
out the day let up as evening advanced and
the crowds that made New Years memor-
able appeared on the streets blowing horns,
ringing bells and showerng confetti over
all The police made faint show of re-
straining the exuberance Of the paraders,
but the good nature of the crowd carried
everything before it and the carnival went
on merrily.
AS midnight approached the merrymakers
congregated near Trinity church, where
as "12 O'Clock" rang out mighty shout
welcomed 1897. This was followed by Red,
White and Blue" Liberty" Long, Ions

thousands waved hats, sticks and umbrel-
las in joyful abandon. Throughout the city

Reward and other companies working on
the fiat formation of the Bald mountain,

clous districts of the hills, closed down
their mines and suspended operations, the
demand for an eght-hour day by the
miners being assigned as the reason for the
close-down, the companies maintaining that
they cannot afford to be saddled with fur
ther additional expense because of the low
grade character of the ore which they are
mining and milling. The mills of the
Golden Reward, Imperial and Dakota COM
panies, with a capacity of several thousand
tons OF ore a day, will suspend operations

INDIANS AS HoMESTEADERS
Department Rules 1ncy Have same
Rights Rs Any other
Citizen.
From a stan Correspondent)


WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-(Special Tele-
gram Congressman Burke OF South Da-
kota, who recently submitted to the sec
retary Of the interior the question whether
or not an Indian allottee can make
homestead entry, today received decision
which concludes as follows: 1T would
therefore, appear that Indians who secure
allotments under the provision of section
T. Of the act of February s, 1887, occupy
the same status as ether citizens Of the
United States who have made homestead
entries under section 22S9, revised statutes"
This means that nearly all Of the In
dians in South Dakota are eligible to make
homestead entries, and that unless there
is legislation in the meantime should the
bill become a law for the opening of Trip
county undoubtedly a large number of
the Rosebud Indians will register and II
successful in the drawing will make en-
tries.
Congressman Burke suggests that the
Indians should be prohibited from aliena-
ting their lands by legislation.
Through the efforts Of Congressman
Burke Of South Dakota new rural routes
have been established in Kingsbury county
as follows: One from Desmet, one from
Hetland, one from Esmond and one from

IMPERIAL Cal, Dec S1-A heavy rain
is now falling, further complicating the
serious situation on the lower Colorado.
Floods Of the ella and Salt rivers are now
pouring into the larger river, which to-
night washed ten bents on the new trestle
from which it was expected TO begin dump
ing rock in a day OF two. This delays work
for a week or ten days. AS the time for
closing the break is already limited this
renders the situation more critical II is
becoming daily more apparent that unless
the government comes to the rescue the
situation will be hopeless for the residents
OF Imperial and Cochella valleys. Nothing
but the most desperate measures can con-
troll the Colorado river before the summer
foods, and then It will be impossible to
control Il. There is no menace TO the lives
of the people, but unless the river is con-
quered the country must become untenable
