Signs Indians Deed.

y patent conveying to the heirs Of
the Miami chief, Little Turtle, a
large tract of improved land in and
around Fit Wayne, Ind, said to be
worth an immense sum of money,
was signed by President Roosevelt
Wednesday and delivered Thursday
to Congressman Sherwood of the To-
ledo district AS far as he knows
the only living heir to this property
is James Wolcott, an Indian constitu-
ent of his.
The description OF the land set
forth in the patent signed by the
President follows:
The southwest quarter of section
fourteen, of the southeast quarter
of section fifteen, in township twenty
eight, north of range eight. east of
the second principal meridian, in the
distric. of lands sold at Fl. Wayne,
Ind, containing two hundred and sew
enty and fifty-four hundredths acres.
The patent is an ornate looking
document, duly attested by many
minor officials 1t is expected that
the Indian Wolcott will at once begin
suit for possession under the Indiana
statutes on descent Gen. Sherwood
says that all the Indian is entitled TO
is the land without the buildings
Taxes, he says, will not be deducted,
for the presumption of law is that
the individuals who have had the use
of the land should have paid the
taxes 1t was at first thought that
Wolcott was entitled to 800 acres, but
a denomination of the records fixed
| the amount at 27O.54 acres.
The case has, been pending for
eighty-one years before the Interior
Department and the officials say that
the patent Gen. Sherwood took home
Thursday is the last land patent that
will be granted to an Indian. Gen.
Sherwood is not exactly informed as
to the location of the land, but says
part of it is highly improved proper

Miners Should be- Protected

A United States Government bulle-
tin recently issued showing the con-
illusions drawn from an investigation
of mining accidents. says that they
may be aScfibed to "a variety of
causes, ani their frequency is attrib-
uted in part TO the lack of mine reg
ulations that can be readily enforced
and in part to improper understand
ing and information concerning the
explosives used in mining and the
conditions under which they can be
safely used This means, of course.
that regulations for the protection OF
miners are not what they should be.
and this conclusion is emphasized BY
the further statement in the bulletin
that the coal mines of the United
States are killing three times as
many per thousand employed as are
the mines of any European country

South Given Huge, Harbor.

After four years work, at u cost of
$6.0O0O00 the jetties in the southwest
pass of the Mississippi river are near
tompletion. The work will give the
south one of the deepest harbors in
the world by opening to the access
of the largest steamships ahoat the
100 and 200 foot depths of the lower
Mississippi river
The harbor thus created has navi-
gable water Connection with at least
dozen states bordering the Miss
issippi and its tributaries.
The new jetties are parallel walls,
one three and the other four miles
long, lying over half mile apart
They accelerate the rivers current,
across mud bar three miles broad,
so as to produce a channel at least
1000 feet wide with a minimum
depth OF thirty-hve feet.
Probably few walls ever have been
constructed under greater difficulties
than were these jetties. They are
made OF willow, scantling, stone, and
concrete, and all material has been
| brought 100 70 500 miles. The jet
ties have no foundations, but rely
for stability upon their extremely
broad bases, being from 100 to $50
feet wide at the bottom. The cap
| ping is seawall 1-2 feet high and
is the only portion OF the jetties not
submerged.
Part of the $6,OOO,O0O allotted to
making the channel is being spent in
safeguarding several miles above the
jetties to prevent any increase in
the flow of other large outlets from
the main river to the gulf This is
being accomplished by placing stone
covered mattress sills on the river
bottom across the entrances TO these
outlets Several small bayous lead
ing from Southwest pass to the gull
will be entirely closed up.

Tell of Cement Uses.

The curtain of the present was roll
ed back Wednesday night at the Col
iseum at Chicago, and business men
were shown what it will be like to
live in a cement age. They were
told that the story of civilization will
not be completed until man has
swung through the circle from the
stone age, through the ages of wood
and brick, to the cement age
1t all sounded like one of Mr.
Wells romantic flights into the fut-
ure, only the tale of progress was not
constructed by imaginative fiction
purveyors, but by sober engineers and
mechanics. And it was illustrated by
photographs.
About 1000 out-of-town cement
dealers, contractors and manufacture
ers arrived in Chicago Wednesday to
attend the opening session of the
fourth annual convention of the
Northwestern Cement Products AS
ISOLATION, which is being held at the
Coliseum Annex. This is the first
year that the convention has been
held outside of Minneapolis, where
the headquarters are located. The
meeting was called to order by Col
onel Lee Slower of Watertown, S. D.

Do You Remember?

Do you remember the Christmas
time many, perhaps very many, may
be two score of years or more, when
you were looking forward to the visit
of Santa Claus? Has childhood be-
come so remote that you do not re-
member the night before Christmas,
when mother had kissed you all
goodnight and you and the older
sisters and brothers were left in the
dark? Do you remember after you
had prayed:
Il pray the Lord my soul 10 keep"
that you were wondering if the Lord
and Santa Claus knew each ether?
And how you thought out a prayer
mother never taught you for a new
doll, with dainty white robe and
beautiful hair and eyes that winked,
or a sled or pair of skates? As you
lay staring into the dark and longing
for morning, and listening for the
jingle of Santa Claus's bells, do you
remember how Mother Nature took
you under her brooding wing, and
the light that led your wishes and
your prayers began to fade, ald the
Lord began to seem to you a great
figure with look on his face like
the sweet faces of father and moth
er combined. and Santa Claus seem
ed to be the fur-coated figure of the
old man next door who always pat
ted you on the head and called you
his little cherub? And then things
grew dim, and the creak of Z pass
ing sleigh made you look to see if
old Santa was coming down the
ohimney-and then you forgot, and
slept and dreamed.
Do you remember how mothers
kiss awoke you just in time to hear
a chorus of the older children cry
out Merry Christmasw and mother
said the same, and father took you
in his arms, and you were hurried 10
the room where Santa Claus had left
his gifts? And there was the doll
or the sled or the skates, and you
knew that Santa Claus must have
heard the little prayer you breathed,
or else God had told him what you
wanted And the day was bright
with all happiness,
Do you remember once your small
er sister had confided TO you that she
wanted Santa to bring her a set of
dolls dishes, and when the tree was
unloadeG Of its fruit none appeared;
you saw the disappointment, and she
soon buried her face in mothers
dress and wept? But she would never
say why. You knew.
Do you remember the Christmas a
year or two later. when you began to
think the chimney too small Tor
Santa Claus and the great pack of
his presents which you knew he must
bring TO such family of children

The Cement Age.

The success which has attended the
cement exposition at the Coliseum IN
Chicago has been sufficient TO war
rant the directors of the affair in
promising similar one next year.
The use of cement in various forms
is increasing SO rapidly that no one
is able to forecast accurately the fu-
ture of this particular industry.
The value of an exhibit such as
that which has just been made is IL
Illustrated by the expression of belief
on the part of cement men that, as a
result of it, bridges in cities and
towns will be constructed of cement
more generally in the future. City
officials have been able to gain def
mite ard personal knowledge of the
difference in the expense of building,
the showing being much in favor of
the new type of construction. In the
country cement bridges are fast dis
placing other kinds There are still
some unsettled problems which time
alone can determine, such as the eff
feet of water and climatic conditions
in comparison with the same inhuen-
ces on wooden and steel bridges. But
those who are pushing the new type
seem able to convince county COM
| missioners and township trustees of
the value of their product. 1t is now
said that municipal autho tiles are
more inclined than ever before to use
cement instead Of brick for sewers.
The relation of cement to the d.
| minishing supply of timber is an
other matter emphasized by the ex-
hibit The places in which cement
is being used instead of wood already
are many. In this direction there
seems to be no limit of expansion
of the industry. Each year is likely
to show many new and interesting
advances as experiment proves the
utility and the comparative cheapness
OF cement for posts, poles, ties, lin
tells, and for many other things hith-
erto made of wood. 1t is this con-
stantly increasing use of cement in
new, ways that makes the announce
ment of another exhibit a year hence
OF interest to large class of people.

To Circle the Globe?

Uncle Sans fleet OF battleships Is
to return from its Pacific cruise via

less message to the New York Sun
from the battleship Louisiana This
dispatch says Admiral Evans made
the announcement on authority of
President Roosevelt at the dinner

This is the first definite news of
the plans of the battle fleet For the
fleet, or half of it, TO make a voyage
around the world would be a naval
feat unsurpassed in the history of
the world 1t would mean voyage
of more than 10000 miles.
The trip to San Francisco will COW
er $4,000. The distance in miles from
San Francisco over the ordinary Suez
route would be: San Francisco TO
Hong-Kong, 7,OO6; Hong Kong to
Singapore. 1,4O0; Singapore to Co.
lombo, 1860; Colombo to Alden, 2,1O0;
Alden to Port Said, 1,145; Port Said
to Gibraltar, 1000; Gibraltar to New
York, 3,202
The only program that has been
announced heretofore was that the
fleet was to proceed to Magdalena
bay, lower California, arriving there
according to schedule, March IA AZ
ter months target practice and ev-
olutions, the fleet was to proceed TO
San Francisco.

Says Posterity Will Pay for Pros
perity of Today.

That the prosperity of the United
States in recent years has been due
to the wasteful and unintelligent de-
velopment of the country's natural
resources, and that the prosperity has
been enjoyed at the expense of future
generations, was the statement made
by Prof W. E. Stone, president of
Purdue University. in an address be-
fore the indianapolis Chapter insti-
Club rooms. Prof. Stones subject
was Industrial Education" and he
said that the United States is un-
able to compete with German. in in
dustrial progress owing to the lack
of educational facilities in this coun-
try along lines industrial.
IAN analysis of the industrial pro-
gress of the United States said
Prof Stone, reveals this fact: That
whatever may have been due to
shrewdness and energy of our cap
ta.ns of industry, our industrial pros
perity has been due to the fact hat
we have been exploiting enormous
natural resources in manner which,
although profitable, has been in most
cases with entire lack of foresight
and with waste"
The speaker declaretd that the phe-
nomenal progress has turned the
heads of those who have profted by
the development, and that unless
some restrictions are placed on future
actions of those persons who have
developed the resources in an unin-
telligent manner there will be little
left for generations to come.
