Arden. N. Y, Aug. 30.-Edward Fl.
Hartman, urged by weary representa-
tives of the press, who have camped
about his mountain home since
Wednesday last, came out in the open
TODAY with a statement that he was
all right. Though brief, the statement
is straightforward and explicit, with
perhaps. touch of patient resentment
at the surveillance to which he has
been subjected, and request that the
reporters withdraw, not so much for
his sake but for his friends who have
been interrupted daily coming to and
from mis- residence by Jealous inter-
viewers eager for the latest bit of in
formation. 1t concludes thus frankly:
'If there should be anything serious
I will let the press know, and as have
never deceived them, l ask that the
press now withdraw it's representa-
tives and rely on me-"
The message was so characteristic OF
Mr.. Harriman's affable attitude to
newspaper representatives-an attitude
which was marked when he underwent
the strain of an extended interview on
the day of his return, that most of the
men who have been here during the
scare over his illness, returned to New
York tonight, relying on his word.
The newspaper representatives had
held a conference early in the day al

the Crow Indians will receive $l55.250 next
year for the grazing privileges on their
lands in Montana. instead of $40. 500 OBJ
tanned this year. The Indian bureau con-
ceived the idea of having grazing bids
opened and contracts let in this city in
stead of on the Indian reservations. and
the Crow reservation was the first in
winch the innovation took effect. The
last OF the contracts was closed Friday
and the result has been almost to quad
ruple the total amount to be paid to the
tween 10 and II cents an acre One con-
tract calls for the payment of more than
si4 600 The like system will be applied
TO all other reservations in which there is
grazing land. One contract has been made
for the Fort Peck reservation by which
$4,000 will be paid next year instead OF
only about $4,000 this year.
