Yesterdays Southern did not arrive
in Durango until after 2 o'clock this
morning. While rounding a curve at
Franklin spur yesterday evening the
baggage car jumped the track and only
the quick action of Express Messenger
Tavenor saved the entire train from
bad wreck and perhaps the loss of
life. He cut off the emergency air
and stopped the cars in the rear. AS
the car tipped over several pieces of
heavy baggage toppled over on him,
dislocating his hip. The engine crew
brought the engine on in to Durango
and returned with stub and brought
n the injured man, passengers, mail
and baggage. Tavenor was taken to
the Savoy hotel where his injuries
were atten I'd to. He is resting easy
today, 1T it will be some time before
he is able 10 resume his duties. The
wrecting crew went out and it was
not until after midnight that the car
was righted and the train brought in.
This morning the train was an hour
late in starting for Telluride, the en-
gine crew refusing to go out until
they had rest and sleep.

difficulty with the Ute band was the
subject of Il conference at the White
House. and the decision was reached
to continue I'm this case the policy of
the Indian bureau of furnishing the
red men opportunity to work and in
case of their failure to take advantage
of the opportunity to leave them t"
their own resources The beligerent
Utes put their case thus: "On our res
ervation we heap hungry. No food
Woman and papoose die because. We
no go back. We fight first till all
dead" But If the Utes were hungry
it was partly because of their own i'm
providence. and the government gave
them the chance to work for their ra-
tions. In negotiating with the disaf
fected Utes the government agents
were aided by the old Sioux chief
American Horse. who counseled the
discontinued warriors to heed the al
vice of their white brothers and leave
the warpath.
The government has made up its
mind that 1t is no real kindness to the
red man to continue indefinitely the
policy of supporting. him in idleness;
hence the adoption of the plan of allot
ting land in seyeralty to the Indians
and preparing them for the duties Of
citizenship. 1t is proceeding upon the
assumption that the Indian is desir-
able parsonage when he gives up an
idle. roaming life. earns his bread by
the sweat of his brow like any Other
man aud ceases to be n ward of the
nation.
Commissioner Leupp and those o.
the administration who sympathizc
with his views believe in the future o
the Indian and are convinced that til,
best kindness the government ca
show TO the red man is to help him t,
take up the white mans burden ana
cease to be a nomad. AS the reserva
tions are broken up the red men as In
dividuals are allotted land ample fol
their support. provided they make us,
of the same methods for it's cultiva
ton that the white man uses. In line
with this plan is what the government
is doing for the Indian through the
reclamation service. Nearly 81 0OO. nGr
has been expended in irrigation on the
Crow reservation in Montana, for
which the Crow Indians furnished
funds and the common labor necessar,
for prosecuting the work. About $500
600 is to he expended in providing the
Pimas of the ella river reservation IN
Arizona with q proper water supply.
and 100000 has been appropriated by
congress for the irrigation of the al
lotments made to the Ute Indians of
the former Ufntah reservation. and ir
rigation canals are being built there rs
fast as possible. Among the Zunis of
New Mexico the Shoshone and Arapa
