What they have most re- sented has been the arbitrary removal of their children to nOn-reservation schools, where the young are forced to attend the religious services of Christians.
 "Let us alone. Let us tend our foeks and gardens, and worship our gods in peaee," is the cry of the HOpi people, and in all fairness we should heed their prayer. We can do them no good.

Some fine samples arrived last week
 from this property and were on dis play at the store of A. H. Lyons. There was no doubt in the minds of the many who saw the ore, and the gold distributed through the rock, that it is fine property. The ore was on exhibition two days before as saying, and when sent to the assay office the samples from the Esperan- "a tunnel gave values of s21 per ton, and samples from the Provideneia averaged $43 per ton. The fortunate stockholders are holding on to their stock and there is no doubt, if the present indications continue and all goes to show that they are growing better, the future of the owners and promoters is assured and one of the richest mines in old Mexico is now being opened up. We have at hand a very interesting description of the country in and about this property. and the trip as told by one who has travelled the road, which will be pub lished next week. The trip is de- seribed by President Arros and is very interesting reading.

| N NOIANS W|[L|NG TO BE VERY
 PEACEFUL
tFrom Tuesdays DailyJ

The latest advices from the HOpi
 pueblos in northern Arizona say that
 the trouble with the Indians at Or aibi is practically ended, an amiea-
 ble adjustment of the differences hay ing been brought about largely, it is said, through the good offices of Sup erintendent Horton Miller.
 It is reported that one faction of the Pueblos has consented to leave Oraibi and start a new village at Haute Vile, some five miles distant.
 Aroused by what he considers the injustice of the criticism of the Mo- qui or Hopi Indians by the mission aries who have been driven away by the chiefs of the tribe in Arizona, J. W. Schultz, a New Yorker by birth and education, but for a quarter of a century a member of the Blaekfoot tribe, has come to their defense, ac- eording to a Los Angeles dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.
 "They are the most deeply religious people in the world" MT. Schultz declares, "and are the only Ameri- can tribe that the whisky trader of civilization has not spoiled"
 The revolt of the Hopis, which resulted in the expulsion of the Rev. J. P. Epp and his family (who have to Newton, Kan, their home) and Miss Mary Schrimer (who has come to Los Angeles) was the result of "too much religious teaching"
 Mir. Schultz is an interesting man. His 9 years of residence among the Indians has given him their view point.
 "The Moqui-Or more correctly, the l Hopi-Indians of northern Arizona" " said Mir. Schultz, "are the one Amer | can tribe which civilization has not succeeded in spelling and despoil- ing. Their barren mesas and the | ny uSSOlL SuiiuunuluS LutH nave utN- ! er been coveted by the white man. They have never owned furs or other commodities, and so the whisky and other traders have always passed them by.

soon"
Secretary Wilson was asked if west
ern farmers really were investing
large sums of money in automobiles.
There is too much truth in those
reports" he responded. The farmer
is out of debt. He has paid for his
farm, his fences and his machinery
He has money in his pockets and big
crops continue to come on. He is
afraid to invest in eastern securities,
lest year bring trouble there. There
fore he puts his money in Injuries,
instead of channels that might give a
return. People in the east do not
know what Injuries are; they must
go west to find that out.
The farmer is handicapped by lack
of labor. Too many have gone from
the farm to the sidewalk. l hope that
education along agricultural lines will
remedy this, but the tide has not yet
turned. But by means of improved
machinery the farmer today can do
many times as much as he accom-
plished ten years ago. He does it
with ease, too, for he sits at nearly
all his work nowadays"

Schools for TubercuIous children.

Special schools for tuberculous chill
dren have now been established in
Providence, Boston, New York, Roches-
ter, Washington, Hartford, Conn, Chi
cago and Pittsburg. New York has
three schools and Washington, D. c.,
two. The board of education of New
York city is proposing to establish
three more, and similar institutions
are being planned in Detroit, Buffalo,
Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Newark,
N. ].
In cities like Providence, Boston and
New York, where outdoor schools have
been conducted for two years, the re-
suits obtained from the treatment of
children in special tuberculosis open
air schools seem to show the great ad-
vantage of this class of institutions.
This, coupled with the experience of
open air schools in Germany and Eng
land, proves that children can be cured
Of tuberculosis and keep up with their
school work, without any danger to
fellow pupils.

poetry about every conceivable sub
