Disposition of Lumber on All Reser-

Washington, Dec. 16.-THe commits
sioner of Indian affairs in his annual
report says that the Indians lose mill
lions of dollars every year through
dead timber on the reservations, es-
peciahy In the Southwest, and the bu-
reau of Indian affairs will urge at this
session Of congress legislation appli-
cable to all Indian reservations,
whether allotted or pnallotted, at-
thorizing the sale of timber On the
reservations.
The Indian bureau plans to try the
experiment Of giving the progressive
Indians greater freedom in the man.
agement Of their allotments, SO that
while their lands are being held In
trust they may qualify themselves to
transact their own business, and thus
be prepared to take full charge Of
their affairs at the expiration Of the
trust period.
The commissioner says that rail
road construction across Indian res
ervations is now particularly noticea-
BILE in the Northwest, where the In
dustrial development has made neces-
sary the extension both Of railroad
systems and the building OF new roads.

DISCOVERY At TACOMA.
Supposed Tide Flats Found Thous.
and Feet Below Surface.


Tacoma. Dec. 16.-The 1.000-foot
deep well that the city is boring at
South Tacoma promises to reveal much
Of the strata of this peculiar forma-
ton Of country before the boring
ceases. The contractors, however,
were not expecting formation that
they have just run into Of something
very much akin to the marshy mud
and silt found on the tide fats in
front of Tacoma.
The formation is many feet in thick
ness and contains much decayed vege-
table matter, showing that in some by
gone age there was a general shifting
Of the surface strata of the earth's
crust here in which hundreds of feet
of gravel we're piled on top of grow
ing, exuberant vegetation. The de-
cayed plant life appears to have been
much akin to a tropic vegetation; and
with the tide mud in which it is con-
gealed forms substance much like
soft rubber. The auger is making
fast time through the formation.

Agreement to Restore Competition

Agreement to Restore Competition
Made Condition for Abandon
ment of Prosecution.
Chicago, Dec. ia dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington, D. c.,
says
Negotiations are under way between
the attorney general and e. H. Harri-
man looking to an agreement by
which the Union Pacific will abandon
all it's direct control of the Southern
Pacific, in return for which the gov
eminent will agree not to prosecute
E. H. Hartman for violation of the
antitrust law and of the competitive
clauses in the interstate commerce
law. The negotiations have not actu-
ally been concluded, but they have
reached a stage where it is believed
an agreement will be entered into.
The Southern Pacific is to be organ
lied as a separate corporation and the
Union Pacific will either take over
the old Central Pacific line from Og-
den to San Francisco or else will op-
mitted to do by law.
The holding company organized by
Mr.. Hartman and his friends to take
over the stock of the Santa Fee and
Northern Pacific probably will con-
tinue, but the direct community of
interest between the Union Pacific
and its competing lines will be stop
Iped.
Whether this agreement not to pros
ecute Mr.. Hartman and Mr.. Harri-
mans agreement to keep up at least
a semblance of open competition be-
tween the transcontinental lines he
controls will result in any benefit to
the public is doubtful, but technically
the triumph of the government is as
sured.
