OF White Man
INDIANS on STANDING ROCt
RESERVATION PREPARING
FOR WHITE INVASION
EVENT LOOKED FORWARD TO
WITH coMPLAcENcY ~
RED MEN.

Standing Rock Agency, N. D. March
13.-The 5000 Sioux who get their
mail and magazines at this agency
where they were wont to draw ra-
tions-are spending their last winter,
as segregated people, in making plans
for the reception OF the white inva-
sion of the reservation next summer
or fall when the immense tract-near-
ly 5000, 900 acres. including the Chey-
enne river reservation - will be
thrown open for settlement.
Nearly all the Indians here have
relatives on the lower Missouri river
reservations which have already been
opened and they are quite wise to
what is coming of the whites means
to them. They now subsist them
selves by freighting for the govern
ment and for private parties, by chop
ping wood and by doing such other
chores as they can get paid for, but
they are not without Information as
to the possibilities of the immediate
future when the greater part of their
Inheritance will be given to whites.
They expect and will probably get
their share of the money that will
be brought in by the whites.
They have developed a good deal
of business sense they are sons OF
the men who fought the best soldiers
in the United States up to the last
quarter OF the last century. With
the passing OF Sitting Bull, Gall, Rain
in-the-Face and the other chiefs who
gained national fame on the battle
field or about the council fires there
passed tAe%last vestige of savagry
from these people and they came to
know they must live on terms with
the white man and get their share OF
the fruits of the earth by the sweat
of their brows. They did not take
to sweating rapidly, but the rising
generation retains a good share of the
high order of intelligence which for so
long distinguished the Teton Sioux,

CUTS Steel With GAS
GREAT NORTHERN INSTALLS A
NEW SYSTEM IN ITS REPAIR
SHOPS IN THE STATE.

Devils Lake, n D., March 13.-The
Great Northern is installing in its
locomotive shops along the line the
latest and newest method of cutting
hard or carbon steel and cast iron.
This IS known as the acetyleneoxy-
gen process and as it's name denotes
is combination of acetylene and oxy-
gen gases, which in a remarkable
short time melts, or disintregates the
iron or steel molecules after the
fame which is but one half inch in
width, is applied to steel or iron on
which work Is being done. A job
which formerly required two or three
days work, such as the cutting out of
side sheets in a locomotive fire box,
can be done in almost that many
hours. The process has been in use
IN all big eastern roads, where it has
passed the experimental stage, and Is
an assured success. The gas Is stor-
ed in heavy steel reservoir which
can be taken to the engine or engines
- be repaired, the devices in con-
nection being portable. All large
western roads are adding the process
as it is convenient, cheap and power
fu!. .~.

Horticultural Notes
Who Succeeds.
Bv Frank SimOnS


Our native fruit trees and bushes
and some hardy cultivated sorts may
be found loaded with fruit every
year all over the Dakotas, in most
every conceivable location and I'M
der a variety of conditions.
The owners of the farms on wlich
these trees are growing are what l
call we'll sexed, we'll mated men and
women. Their children please our
sense of seeing ana hearing, as their
fruit pleases our sense of taste. When
you see their homes you begin to love
and honor the owners before you
meet them. Not the loaded fruit
tree. but everything about the place
is in repair and shows thrift and
success. No one is rushing about.
They seem to be accomplishing their
work with ease and have plenty of
leisure mixed in with their work.
Nowhere can you find where a mo-
ment's labor has been wasted.
How have they accomplished all
this with this small expenditure of
money, time and labor? BY thought
and study; thoroughly studying their
business, and laying their plans to
the most minute details before be-
ginning action. There could be only
success. J In their plans all adverse
conditions were met and overcome.

he will recommend that the patents

They started at the right time and
in the right place, and used the right
material All their labor was done
at the right time, which insures sue
cess. They were not like the black
smith who put so many irons in the
fire he burned some Of them before
he could successfully shape them.
On adjoining farms in the same
location and where the same condi-
lions are to eb met and overcome,
may be found trees and bushes that
have been there for years, and nev-
er borne any fruit, owned by men
and women who have expended any,
where between twenty and one hun
dred dollars to find out they could
not raise fruit in the Dakotas.
These people, although they have
reached the physical maturity of
men and women, are still children in
intellect, and have not yet reached
the point Of mental development and
maturity where ambition to accom-
plish something and excel takes the
place Of play. They are simply wait
ing hoping to become men and wo-
men some day. They may, but for
the present they have no ambition
only to get something to eat and the
absolute necessities of life. These
people are out of their sphere. They
should dwell in the lazy tropics
where they need neither clothes nor
shelter Where fruit grows without
the assistance and labor of man.

after the other plains Indians had laid
down before the tide Of white pro-
gress and the intelligence is being
applied to questions of ways and
means.
Here at the agency they gather In
groups and discuss the prospects.
Over yonder, just outside the aban-
doned post of Fort Yates, Sitting Bull
lies at rest, but he is not more dead
than the spirit he strove to keep
alive. These Indians at the agency
talk of where the towns will be and
what they may get out of the rush
for claims in the coded portions of
the reservations.
Down on the Grand river, where
Sitting Bull danced the Ghost dance,
and died in avowing his independence
of control, his surviving relatives and
fellows of the Hunkapapas hold meet
ings in the log houses which have TAX
en- the place of the tepees. Those
meetings bring out quite as much
oratory was exhibited when, twen-
ty-fve years ago, the elders were pro-
testing against making any treaty
with the government for the cession
of their lands. John Grass, the chief
justice of the Sioux Indians, now an
old man, is much sought for advice,
but he is content to let things go;
he has long foreseen the coming Of
the white man and he is not disturb
ed. He has his farm and he wants
nothing more.
There is every evidence that the
white invasion will be welcomed with
a great deal Of cordially. The In
dams come tn anxious for some scrap
Of information that comes from Wash
ington regarding the opening of the
reservations and between them and
the great number Of enquirers who
white Post Trader P. B. Wickham or
J. M. Carrignan-botho Of whom have
been on the reservation for many
years-these two reservation mag
mates have their hands full.
The Indians have come to under
stand that the number of whites who
will come to the opening exceeds
their imagination to estimate, it takes
rather a highly educated Indian to
conceive of what a couple Of hundred
thousand means. But this friendly
invasion is being looked forward to
with right good will by the red men
and the more shrewd Of the Indians
have made elaborate plans for provid-
ing food and shelter for the invaders.
It is not improbable that when the
settlers come In for the drawing in
the fall OF the year they will be priv
ileged to buy hot wienerworsts from
dusky persons whose fathers were
much handler with the scalping
knives than with the toasting fork.

The Shv Child.

The first important step toward
helping a child of this kind Is to give
her self-confidence, even If you run
the risk of making her vain and con
ceited. She needs a little wholesome
praise to make her feel that her play
mates will like her. Make her look as
attractive as possible, and tell her
that she is attractive; see that she is
trained in all the arts and g1aces that
will make her attractive; send her
to dancing school. AS she gets older
see that she excels in games, in ath.
letics, in anything that will! give her
confidence in herself when she asso-
ciates with her schoolmates. If she
is going away to school or college give
her lessons on the banjo and guitar
so that she can join the banjo and
guitar clubs. II she has any talent OF
any kind by which she can entertain
her friends help her to develop it. She
must be taught to feel that she can
help others to have a good time and
that consequently she Is welcome
among them. Once that feeling Is
established the battle is wOn.-Har
