Notwithstanding the longevity of
many of the Indians, the mortality
rate is high, being exceeded by only
a very few cities in the United

furnishes convincing proof that a
large proportion of the deaths are
those of infants and children, and
that having passed maturity the

In connection with the passing of
the Occur d'Alene Indian reservation
which is to be thrown open to set
Element the coming summer, brief
history of the aborigines will not be
out of place.
Charley o. Worley, Indian agent
at DeSmet mission, furnishes most Of
the statistics of this article.
The Reservation.
The reservation, which is situated
wholly in Kootenai county, contains
approximately 625 square miles, or
100000 acres. At least two-fifths of
the land embraced in the reservation
is cultivatable, and of great fertility.
The remaining three-fifths, or nearly
a quarter of a million acres, contains
a heavy growth of timber, consisting
of fir, tamarack, white and yellow
pine and cedar. A large portion of
the timber land, when cleared, will
make desirable farms. The land al
ready under cultivation ranks among
the best for agriculture in northern
idaho.
Productive Crops.
The principal crops thus far pro-
duced have been wheat, oats and hay,
but the soil has also been proven to
be admirably adapted to the growth
of sugar beets.
D. c. Corbin, the owner of the
sugar mandatory at Waverly,
Wash, made an experiment at Lowell.
on the reservation and with satisfact-
DRY results. He is now cultivating
1900 acres of beets in the same VI
cinity, with all indications of heavy
yield.
The census taken last year shows
the number of stock as follows:
Horses, $500 head; cattle 1900;
hogs, 900; sheep, ITS.
OF Occur d'Alene Indians there
were males 255, females 245. Be-
sides these there were 81 Spokane
Indians nearly evenly divided in re-
gard to sex.
The reservation is transversed by
the Tekoa-Burke branch Of the Ore
gon Railroad & Navigation company,
by the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound railway, and is reached by
steamer from this city. BY a con-
tract entered into with the o. r. &
n railroad company when 1t secured
right of way across the reservation,
all Indians Of the Occur d'Alene tribe
are carried free between Tekoa and
Cataldo. distance OF 81 miles.
When the latter railroad was built,
which was in 1SSs-s0, Cataldo was
at the eastern extremity OF the reser-
walton, but is on land which has been
sold to the government, and opened
to settlement.
Population Grows Little
Statistics show very little change
IN regard to number OF Indians in the
tribe since the Mission was estab-
Hshed at DeSmet in 1880. There were
then approximately 500 Of all ages
on the reservation. and the census
recently completed shows practically
ne same number. The birth and the

Wealthy TrIbesmen.
Louis Mitchata, who resides on the
reservation. on the road between Te-
koa and DeSmet. is probably the
wealthiest of the Occur d'Alene Ind
ians. He is reputed to be worth as
least SIS, 900, OF which $4,000 is in
money at interest. He lives in a
house which would be no dIscredit
to any farmer in the country, and has
good barn for stock and comfort
able outbuildings. A beautiful grove
of trees surrounding a large fish pond
is pretty feature OF the premises.
Lo-lo, who lives near the govern
ment sawmill, few miles east of the
mission, has possessions in livestock,
produce and cash to the amount OF
$4,000 or upwards.
Chief wildshoe.
Pierre Wildshoe. the present
chief, who succeeded Andrew Seltice,
who died In 1902, while not the
wealthiest, Is one of the most re-
spected and influential men on the
Preservation. A moderate estimate of
his possessions place them at about
$4,000.

and environment. there are some OF

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 5.--The proofs
that DR.. Frederick A. Cook discovered
the North Pole will be before the

nouncement was made by the former
explorer on his arrival here today.
He will not ask the authorities OF
the University of Copenhagen to
waive their prior claim on his records
but will turn over duplicates to. the
American Geographical society, and
will ask the University of Copenhagen
authorities to Withhold their Judgment
from the public until the American
Geographical society also has finish
ed its examination. This will insure
a simultaneous. announcement, and it
is expected to bring to an end and
forever the Peary-Cook controversy.
DR.. Cook declared that the state
ment published to the effect that he
intended to ask Danish university to
to waive theih prior tight to his re-
lords in order that American scien-
lists might examine them first was an
error. He declared that it was his
desire that both the American and
Danish authorities make their lind

BY United Press wire.

Port Huron, Mich, Oct. 5-Ready,
II is declared, to tell a story similar
in many details to that OF Evelyn
Thaw, Mrs. Ralph 7. Prlngle came to
court today to testify In behalf Of her
husband, charged with the murder of
Captain George d. Nc Kinnon in the
Hole in the wall saloon III, St. Clair
last May. Though the defense has
built its hopes high on Mrs. .Pringle's
testimony, the court. ruled, that. She
could not give any Testimony regard
ing her alleged relations with Cap
tain McKinnon, ffFF
Attorney Walsh for the defense in
opening had stated that he would
show that Mrs. Pringle had been be-
trayed by McKinnon. Judge Law gave
as his reason for ruling out all that
part OF Mrs. Pringle's story relative
to her alleged relations with McKin-
non, that a sufficient cooling OFF,
time between the time of the alleged
betrayal and the killing had elapsed
to outlaw the testimony.
