The assessed value of the land alone, exclusive of i'm provements, In the city of New York is greater than the assessed value of all the real estate improvements in- cluded in the state of Pennsylvania and nearly twice as great as the value of all the real estate. including. i'm provements, in the state of New York outside of the city. The assessed value of the land for six square miles of Manhattan, in the neighborhood of Central park is greater than the as sessed value of all the real estate in the state of Missouri"

DELAYED PAYMENTS TO INDIANS MONDAY

On next Monday a payment Of
5000 will be made to the Indians
by Agent McFatrldge and that
amount of money will be at once
placed in local circulation. AS the
money will be paid to a large num-
Der of Indians, most of whom do
their business in Pendleton, the pay
ment will help the business here.
The payment to be made Monday is
one that would have been made
month or more ago had it not been
for the holidays 1t is money due
the Indians for their rents and when
the holiday season commenced 1t
was on deposit, partly in the First
National bank and partly in the Com
mercial National.
On account of the money stringency
Agent McFatridge withheld making
the payment at that time and offer
ed to further delay it should the
banks so desire. However. the banks
are now in good condition to make
the payments, according to G. NJ.
Rice, cashier of the First National,
and it was really their desire to have
the agent make the payment now,
even should the holidays not end
yet.
The payments will be made by
Agent McFatridge by means of
checks and these will be paid in
cash on presentation at the banks.

But as some Of the checks go away
and many are not brought in direct
ly it will be several weeks before
the money is really taken from the
banks.
In local business circles the In
dian payment has been looked for
ward to and there is now rejoicing
over the announcement that the
money will be paid Monday.

aI q sunhen bar.
Since the day when Uncle Sam began
to employ coast guards, his heroes OF
the surf have saved upwards of quar-
ter of million lives. Under the present
system of life saving, daung from 1871,
they have attended fifteen thousand dis
asters, and out of the 10000 lives in
volved they have been able to save all
except one in every hundred. AS Sec
ondary work, of the $225,ooo,ooo worth
of property imperilled, they have saved
an amount valued at $I75 100000. No
other life saving service of the world
can point to record anywhere near
comparable to this in epic grandeur. A
moment spent in reflection on these sta
tistics will reveal the transcendental
heroism back of them. On one hand,
the combined elements, in their fercest
mood, roaring destruction; on the other,

means to render assistance in case of
ship wrecks. The life saving service
proper was not really instituted until the
following year, when an appropriation
of $4,000 was made for the establish
ment of eight life saving stations on
the New Jersey coast between Sandy
Hook and Little Egg Harbor.
And right here let the man who was
most instrumental in securing this ap-
propriation-the man who is, therefore,
the founder of the life saving service
tell how he came to conceive the idea
of the service. 1t is story little known
yet it forms an interesting chapter in
the history of federal life saving. Thus
it is told by DR.. William A. Newell,
who, though we'll along in the eighties,
until recently was actively practicing
medicine in Allentown, N. J.:

about $I,75o,ooo for the maintenance OF
the service. This is less than one-fourth
of the property value saved from the
sea in the same period, to say nothing
of the lives succored. Each succeeding
year finds the sum set aside by the Gov
crnment for life saving somewhat aug
mented; the first appropriation called
for $1,000. This was made in 1877, and
with it the keepers of light houses along
the Atlantic coast were furnished with
