when found it necessary to give up
the work for few months, | turned
the business over to them. feeling con.

faithful to their trust goes without
saying. The boys have worked hard.
have met their obligations promptly.

lusiVely that they have labored earn
silly to give satisfaction. 1t was no
light undertaking for two inexperi-

rol OF a business of whose office detail
hey knew little or nothing, and the
manner in which they have handled

romising assurance of their future

MoDoC INDIANS RETURN
TO THEIR OLD HOMES

Washington, Feb. 3.-After a weary
walt of more than a third of a cen
tury, Captain Jacks band of Modoc
Indians are about to be permitted to
return to their old homes In the Land
OF the Setting Sun.
Following their disastrous warfare
on the white settlers in Oregon IN
1874 these Indians were exiled to In
dian Territory. where they were plac-
ed upon the Quapaw reservation. At
that time there were 271 of them, but
before a year had elapsed, the num-
Der was reduced to 152 By 1877 there
were, not more than 112, and at the
present time there are only 40.
In report recently made to the sem
ate by Senator Curtis of Kansas, him
self an Indian, he says:
This rapid decrease seems to be
the result of mental anxiety caused
by their enforced separation from fam
lily and friends.
Senator Curtis report recommends
the passage of bill, which already
has received the approval of the
house, and which authorizes the re-
turn Of these aborigines to their for
mer homes In the Klamath reserva-
ton in Oregon. where an allotment
OF land is now going on and in which
they would be enabled TO participate
Senator Curtis says In his report
that the Modocs, Notwithstanding their
record Of "a are extraordinarily good
workers, He also says there are no
drunkards among them and that they
are careful and economical 1t Is
quite probable that the bill Will pass
the senate.

CALVIN AND
BANCROFT
CAN STAY
BOTH ARE HELD IN HIGH ESTEEM
.-.e---r., BY HARTMAN.
Calvin May Become Head Of lIIISoIa
CcntraI-Corlng Changes on
the Big Roads.

The article in Tuesdays Standard 10
reference to the early retirement Of
General Manager Bancroft, OF tho
Oregon Shore Line. and General Man
ager Calvin of the Southern Pacific
system, has provoked great deal Of
comment at local railroad headquar-
ters, and the consensus OF opinion is
that important changes in railroad Of
future One official sized up the sit
uation as follows:
There isn't a doubt but what Cen
eral Manager Bancroft was offered an
important position with the Hartman
interests in the east several months
ago, but he declined TO accept what
is considered an important advance
ment owing to his expanding interests
in Utah If he retires now from the
Oregon Short Line N-will~be-ofh his
own yolition and for the purpose OF
devotIng his time to heavy personal in
yestments in this and adjoining states.
He has earnedea a prolonged vacation
from railroad work OF any kind, and
am confident his, personal relations
with President Hartman are such that
he can remain at the helm Of the Short
Line as long as he elects to do so
so far as General Manager Calvin
is concerned. this talk of his retiring
from railroad work is the sheerest
nonsense. He-is in the nrime. Of life
at this time, has worked his way up
from the ground floor by merit and
ability until he has attained the repu-
taton of being one of the most sue
cessful railroad managers in the coun-
try-and, mark my words. he will con-
tinue In the harness. l would not be
surprised however, to hear OF Mr.. Cal
win being promoted to the presidency
of the Illinois Central system in place
of President Harrihan, who. 1t Is un-
derstood. is likely to be sent to the
New York Central road to represent
Mr.. Harriman's interests in that great
system.
Speaking as a railroad man who
has known both Manager Bancroft and
Manager Calvin for years, would dis
1like TO see either of them retire from
their present positions, which they
have filed with conspicuous ability for
years-and, in my estimation, 1t VIII
be hard TO replace either Of them In
the different fields they occupy at
present"
