important railroads have determined
to redouble their efforts to secure in
this country that rigid enforcement of
the law against trespassing which in
England has reduced the practice and
accidents to trespassers to a minimum.
Growing Each Year.
The number of people killed while
trespassing on railroads has been
steadily increasing every year. I'm 1899
4,0G3 trespassers lost their lives on
American railroads; five years later
the number was 5000, and in 1907 the
number killed was 5,G12, more than 10
each day.
These figures are taken from the an
nual reports of the interstate commerce
commission. Figures compiled by the
Pennsylvania railroad alone show that
iG5 trespassers lost their lives on that
sustem's lines in 1899; ISL were killed
in 1904 while in 1907 the number
reached 915, an average of almost

INDIANS NOT DECREASING
Increase of More Than 10000 in Pop
ulatiOn of Red Men.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 1.-THE
popular idea that the American In
dians are decreasing in number is dis
sipated by official figures showing
that there are more than 100000
red men in the United States.
The increase in population of about
10000 during the last two decades is
attributed to the governments con-
stant effort to uplift the Indians to
the level of contemporary civiliZa-
ton.
Looking TO the broader and prac-
tical education of the Indian, the
government is extending its system of
apportioning lands to Indians.
