BIG INDIAN COUNCIL
To Meet Major Mclaughlin ia re.
gard to Opening.


The Press is informed that
Major Mclaughlin. the U. s.
special Indian Agent, is to be at the
Agency tomorrow to hold coun-
Gil with the Indians. 1t will not
be exactly a big council, for the
reason that the telephone will be
brought into play and the Major
will interview the Cherry Creek
and Thunder Butte Indians over
wire.
Appropos to the above, last
weeks Lebeau Phenix says:
AN impression has gone abroad
and is reflected in many news
paper articles, that in the event of
the passage at this session of
congress of a bill opening reserva-
tions west of the river to settle
ment, that two or three years
would elapse before the allotment
and other settlements with the
Indians could be advanced to the
point where white settlement
would be possible. This is an en-
tirely erroneous idea. Allotments
on the Cheyenne reservation have
been made to all persons having
tribal relations up to within a a
period of about twenty months
ago, SO that it is now only neces-
sary to take up the allotments to
children born within the twenty
months last past.
''Senator Gamble, in q letter to
the writer, states that all prelimi.
nary measures looking to pro-
clamation declaring the lands
subject to entry can be accom-
plished in four months following
the enabling act by congress,
and that if his bill. SO amended as
to include all reservation lands in
its provisions, should become a
law, the formal opening could
take place November first next.
''Senator Gamble states that al
lotments to every person entitled
thereto, are not essential.to COM
plete the arrangements for open
ing the reservations. The depart
ment can set aside enough land to
meet the requirements for allot-
ment, and this has been done in
other instances thus allowing the
residue of the lands to be thrown
open to entry.
"The leases now in force be-
tween the Indians and the
cattle men, do not, according
to Senator Gamble, interpose
any impediment to the open
ing of these lands the present
year. "A clause in each lease pro-
vides that the department can
abrogate the lease when IN the
judgement of the Congress the
reservation lands should be added
to the public domain.
IF congress will give the word.
SO, coo people will pass through
LeBeau before the snow whitens
the ground next winter. >

There will be in all thirty-three rooms and

For the nurses there will be a home in a
building apart, a twelve-room residence on
the same property. Here a three-year
course and graduate work will be given.
When these buildings are complete and
furnished the hospital will be almost self

established to provide for free beds and
other permanent and provisionary resources
can be depended upon TO keep the institu-
ton going. The building, grounds and
furnishings will cost the trustees, however,
a sum near $50, 900. This is in spite Of the
fact that a great many applications have
been received for the privilege of furnish
ing rooms and the furniture of the labora-
tory has all been promised. Most Of the
money has been raised.

ton was formed on the spot to be known
as the Clarkson Memorial Hospital associa-
ton and organized to raise $4,000 as q
contribution to the fund. The officers
elected were: Mrs. F. Fl. Cole, president;
Mrs. Philip Potter. secretary, and Mrs.
Albert Noe. treasurer. At the 1908 meeting
these officers were reelected and are still
managing the campaign. A number OF
women were appointed to act as chairmen
for committees to raise $500 each. On
the first day, when the association was
organized, Mrs. George Lininger gave $1,000
and in the first letter received from Mrs.
Worthington her gift of $1,000 was found.
Mrs. A. j. Poppleton has given $500, Mrs.
Castetter of Blair has given the same
amount and similar large contributions
have been received from many sources. In
all $4,000 has been raised by the women's
association.

the steam railways at higher rates.
However, the suburban trolley lines here
are not doing so well for the outlanders
as suburban lines in other cities are doing.
The lines here will send or bring freight
only in carload lots. 1t is understood by
the officials, however. that this system
will soon be changed. so that the farmers
and the keepers of small stores in the
country will be enabled to take advantage
OF the trolley freight for the transporta-
ton Of small packages, to the mutual adj
vantage Of themselves and their Gus

These farmers and merchants are de-
claring that they have the right to insist
that the trolley lines carry their goods.

Electricity supplantIng steam.

Electric traction will shortly replace the
steam engine on a considerable number Of
railways in the Central Pyrenees region,
and several new lines to be worked cleo
trically are about to be constructed. As a
matter OF fact, a law is about to be pro-
mulgated which will concede, as a matter
OF public eXpedienCy, the following under
takings to the Midi Railway company:
% A standard gauge railway from Auch
10 Lannemezan. % A n-arrow-gauge rail-
way from observation-disclosures to TaTbes.
90 A standard-gauge railway from Ar
reau to Saint Larry. These lines will be
worked electrically, and the energy will
be derived from a hydro-electric generat-
ing station situated In the valley of the
Oule. In addition to the foregoing, the
following railways, now worked by means
Of steam engines, will be electrified-viz.,
the lines from Montreieau 10 Luchon, from
Lannebezan 10 Arreau, from Tarbez TO
Bagneres de Bigorre. and the section be-
tween MOntrejeau to Tarbes, on the rail-
way from Toulouse TO Bayonne. More

company provides for the subsequent cleo

&&Ek ried out by Mr.. J. e Newman
49, of Gloucester. Eng, acting in
junction with Mr.. r. BomHord Of Stafford
Priors, and in which Sir Oliver and his
son, Mr.. Lionel Lodge, rave bean important
advisers. The idea Of applying electricity
to agriculture was suggested by the OBJ
~servations OF a Swedish professor named
Lemstrum. The following ts Sir Oliver
Lodges description of the method Of appli-
cation adopted In the experiments OF
Messrs. Newman and Bomford
The method Is to stretch over the field
to be treated a number OF wires on poles,
something like low telegraph wires, but
high enough for loaded wagons and all the
usual farming operations to go underneath
the wires without let or hindrance. The
wires are quite thin. and are supported by
a few posts in long parellel spans, about
thirty feet apart. They are supported on
the posts by elaborate high tension insult
lators, and they, extend over all the acre
age under the experiment. q control plot
OF similar land under similar conditions
being, OF course, left without any wires.
The system of conductors Is then connected
at one post with a generator supplying posi-
tive electricity at a potential OF something
like 10000 volts. and with sufficient power
to MAINTAIN a constant supply of electricity
at this kind Of potential. Leakage immedi-
ately begins, and the charge fixes off from
the wires with a sound which is sometimes
audible, and with a glow which Is visible
in the dark. Anyone walking about below
the wires can sometimes feel the effect on
the hair OF the head. as OF a cobweb on the
face. They re then feeling the stimulation

but is shut off at night; 1t is probably

However. in the case OF wheat both the

Sending Pictures by Wire.


Although he refuses to disclose the de-
tails of his typesetting-by-wir invention.
Knudsen furnished to the London corre-
spondent of the New York Times the fol-
lowing authorized statement descriptive Of
his system OF transmitting photographs by
wireless:
MY system for the transmission Of pho
tographs by wireless" he told the corre-
spondent, consists Of two similar ma
chimes. The transmitting machine has a
travelling table or carrier, to which is
fastened the picture to be transmitted
Over the travelling table is the tracing
needle or point contact, which is con-
stantly moving forward and backward over
the picture, and according to the rough
and smooth surfaces of the picture the
electrical impulses are transmitted.
THE receiving machine, as far as me-
chanical details are concerned, is con-
structed in the same manner save for the
receiving plate or negative. l prefer to use
a smoked glass plate. On this the tracing
needle records every dot or electrical i'm
pulse received from the transmitting ma
chine, so that when the complete picture
has been transmitted a negative has been
prepared on the machine and is ready for
use without further development.
T synchrOnize the two machines 1 use
a magnate brake on the governors Of the
movement in such a way that when the
travelling table comes to the end Of each
double stroke they come to a fun stop,
and a clock movement which is constantly
going restarts the transmitting machine
and at the same time sends an electrical
impulse which starts the receiving machine.
The principal used for my system is for
newspaper work, and it is now possible to
transmit a picture from any transmitting
station to a number Of receiving stations
in different places al the same time, OF
a picture may be transmitted from a sta
ton TO a steamship travelling between Eu-
