RESERVATION LAND OPENING
is INDEFINITELY POSTPONED
Final Decision Sent to A. 3. Ming, the
immigration Commissloner-in-
dams Receive Allotment

The opening of the lands for allot-
ment and settlement of the Indian res
ervation near Yuma has been indefi
nitely postponed by the interior de-
partment. There have been so many
rumors recently in regard to the open
ing, and the supposed date having been
announced, that immigration Commis-
sioner A. B. Ming telegrap' ed to
Washington asking the department
definitely if any date had been fixed
for the registration or opening. Mr..
Ming received a telegram from the
land office in Washington saying that
the opening of the Indian reservation
lands has been indefinitely postponed.
This has been done in order to enable
congress to take up and pass on the
acreage to be allotted to the Yuma In
dians. This telegram sets at rest the
various rumOrs which have been pub
lished for some time in the terri rial
and California papers, that the regis
tration was to be in January and the
allotment or drawing in February.
Congress will likely act on the ques-
tion this session and the opening may
come late in the spring.

wv HILE the attention Of the public
wv generally has been turned to-
ward the great development of
the city in the retail business district,
there has been an equally remarkable
growth and advance in values in the
close-ln wholesale and jobbing district,
particularly noticeable along the north
side of East Third street, between Los
Angeles street and Central avenue, and
on Central avenue between Second and
Third streets.
The cause of this activity and the
location in this district of many of
the citys most important jobbing
houses can be directly attributed to
excellent railway tackage, furnishing
service to a point within $50 feet of
Los Angeles street. 1t is safe to say
that comparatively few people not en-
gagged in the manufacturing or jobbtng
business are aware of the fact that
railway tracks penetrate the heart of
the city to a point within few hun
dred feet of Main street. The accom-

WHO zoo?

Few wonders of an up-to date zoo
are more striking than the nurseries
which it has been found eXpedlent TO
establish for baby animals. 1t takes
nurse and numerous assistants ten
hours a day, and often some nights
to look after the new arrivals, and
should one be born in the night time
the keeper sits up and watches, tor
although animal mothers are usually
very careful, they sometimes tread on
their children accidentally. And, in
the case of an elephant or hlppopol-
anus, this means a funeral.
When a baby hippo is born there
is a keeper with him night and day
for a month. The infant hippopotamus
has a leather hide, of purplsh plue'
and weighs 100 pounds at birth. lie Is
nursed by his mother until he Is three
years old When baby lion enters
the nursery, it's eyes are shut for five
or six days, and mother is given phoS-
phate of lime on her meat for its hard
ening effect on the bone tissue of the
baby. - ,
At the age of two months little teeth
begin to peep through.
The baby monkey is at once the most
timid, nervous and popular infant IN
ZOO. The keepers never dare touch a
Young monkey until he is "Out of his
first Clothes" so to speak, for it would
mean a fight with the mother, Whlch
would frighten them both to death.
One of the rarest and most uncanny
ZOO babies is the kangaroo. 1t takes
a most observant and careful keeper 10

THEM ES

When bard sings a baby song
Half of the world sits up to hear,
And smiles because the song Is glad,
or wipes away furtlve tear
At memory of some wee chap
In rompers, or some little maid;
Half of the world likes baby songs,
And songs of games baby played.
And bubbling streams that twist and
And narrows where the rocky banks
Make the swift waters boil and churn
And pools where grayling hide, and where
Trout leap to catch the cleaning hy'
All the grown men in all the world
Dream dreams of happy days gone by
They all dream dreams of sycamores
That lean above an lumber pool,
They all dream of vacation days
Far out of town and out of school,
OF nests they climbed tall trees to get
OF whistles made from willow wands'
OF robber dens they built of old.
OF scamperings DER yellow sands
And while the song lasts they are young.
And Care free as they were of old,
They feel the charm of bygone morns.
And see the green and blue and gold
OF sunsets that they used to know;
They see white beds wherein they slept,
They see the mother-arms outstretched,
And feel the heart 'gainst which they
crept.
But when the poet sings of love
Then all the waiting world bends ear.
And all the birds in all the trees,
And all the breezes hush to hear
faroff look comes in the eyes
Long years have took their tribute Of
And faded eyes and youthful eyes
Grow glad and soft at songs of love

Secure ten feet of stout rope. M axe

to the end of this number you Will be
surprised to see the CLINT of the morn

Suspend above your head boulder
plucked from the nearest stone quarry.
When ready for sleep, cut the cord to
which the stone is attached and at the
same time gaze fiXedly in the direc-

may be at hand, such as pin-cushions
dancing slippers, cigar butts etc.

SETON HALL PREP WINS.

The Seton Hall Prep football team
at Trenton yesterday afternoon did not
allow the State Model School eleven
to score. The local team was much
lighter than the opposing players, but
the final score was % to 0 In their
favor.
Dick McDonough was the star of the
game. He made three touchdowns for
his team, and during the first half ne
made a sensational run through an
open field for seventy-five yards. The
strong wind which blew obliquely
across the field made It difficult for
the Newark kicker, McNaily, to make
the goals. though he succeeded In ac-
complishing hat feat twice. The goal
line Of the winning team was never in
danger.
