GIRL WHO MADE UNCLE SAM PAY
INDIANS.

Miss Ida b. Allison. Cherokee In
dian, business manager for the lee
turer, Mrs. Harriet Il. Lebardie, and
the woman who compelled the United
States government to return land
worth 100000 to the Indians.
was in town for few hours yester-
day. says the Colorado Springs Ga
zette
The story of the fight to regain
possession of the Indian lands is in
teresting. 1t seems that the Dawes
Land commission, in 1896, took away
1000 Indian names from the rolls of
those entitled to receive land from
the government These persons were
in the House at the Methodist church
of his administration. Secretary
Hitchcock, in 1907, again took those
names from the Indian rolls. II was
this last disfranchisement which Miss
Allison. in a test case, disputed with
the government. The justice of the
claim and the excellent counsel Sc
cured, brought a decision in favor of
the. individual Indians. Since the
principle in this test case was the
same in hundreds of cases, the fight
of this one Indian girl gave back to
the Cherokee nation 100000 acres of
land, of the enormous value given
above.
Miss Allison Is not much of an In
dian in appearance. She is a plump.
little. brown-haired woman, still a
girl, with very earnest and thought
full face. She is exceptionally well
educated. and has law at her tongues
end, since her experience with ,he
United States supreme court.

 INCORPORATE
 AT EARLY DATE
Rumor That BiSbee Suburb Has Aspirations for City Government of Her Own. The Alleged Reason.

Is Lowell to form 8 separate eorpo ration from Bisbee2 There are rumors to this effect in Lowell, and in fact there are grounds for belieV- ing that some such movement is on
 oot in the Bis5ee suburb-althOush. be it said in passing, that some ob- iect to that term lt is furthermore said that the new movement has come about as the result of the Pace bin recently introduced in the legis- laturc. From the move alleged to be on foot. it is judged the people Of Lowell. or at least a big proportion of them, figure that in case the Pace bill should pass the present legisla- ture they could remain a wet" vii. .lage, even if by chance Bisee should rtt5 the booze away.
 IL will be remembered that at the time Bisbee~ put in her sewer system there was quite a movement on foot to have the people of Lowell come in with this city ana partake of the bene- fits that would ensue upon sharing in the municipal fruits. The movement was not yer-enthusiastically received by the people of Lowell, and it fell of it's own weight.
 There seems 10 be plenty of steam behind the present agitation, and it would not be ct all surprising to see that city with a city government of it's own within the next sixty days. The leading property owners, some of them. deny any knowledge of such move, but one Of them who at first , denied it, upon insistence being made. finally admitted that there was talk of such thing. Nobody could be found who would say very much about the subject. but sufficient was
 learned to show that there is some | foundation for belief that some such
 action is contemplated.
 | Some have suggested that Lowell is
 looking to the future, and that they ] consider that there is a possibility ot the time coming when Bisbee may be lin control of the prohibitionists and Lowell q wet" town. In such an ] event it takes no vivid imagination to foresee that in such an event there 1 would be a wet goods business in 1 Lowell (and Naco) that would make the average saloon man turn green ! with envy. Future developments
 will be awaited with keen interest.

Colonel L. W. Powell. of the C. & 4. interests, and W. J. Young. Jr., Of the Great Western mine at Courtland. came in from that district last night. They are well pleased with the prog ress of the camp and state that the work Is progressing as well as could be hoped for,
 When asked regarding the opening .of tae Courtlaad townsite, in which so many have been interested of late Colonel Powell said: We are having the survey made preparatory to plac- ing the townsite on the market. anu are hurrying the work along as rapid ly as possible. We will open the town of Courtland by the middle Of the month, and the ground upon which the townsite will be laid out will be all patented ground. We have been working upon this for the past sixty days, and believe that there will be nothing left undone to open the townsite 10 the public right.
 There is a great deal of activity to be seen at Courtland. and the work being done by the railroads adds He to the camp. The railroads are rush ing their work along as rapidly as pos sible and will complete their lines as early as expected. if the large forces can do so.
 ''The mines are all looking well and the results of the development work are entirely encouraging.

MARK TWAIN YEARS AGO.

Being Some Conn entary ON the Not.
ed HumOrist's Laziness.
w. Landsittel is the grizzled fore
man of the Lyons Republican, which is
the republican organ of Wayne coun-
ty, New York.
i've been in this business for fifty
years now" he said to New York
Times reporter last week, as he strok-
ed his gray mustache, land l have
seen some lazy people in my time.
Yes, sir, while the newspaper business
is exacting and telling on the nerves,
it does harbor some really lazy folks
from time to time"
Whom do you consider the cham
pion lazy man of the newspaper
gamer" he was asked.
That is so easy to answer" was his
reply, with a wan smile. almost any
Of the real old-timers in this business
would give you the name right off the
bat. Why, Mark Twain holds the
belt"
The Republicans foreman reflected.
II was a printers devil on the Buff
falo Express forty years ago." he
said, land one of my duties was to
sweep the room where reporters and
editors worked. Every day during the
time that Mark Twain was partner
in the publication of the Express
was bribed by him in the cause Of rest
and ease. l would sweep every cor
ner of that room, and when l came
to Marks desk, on which his feet re-
posed, he would look over and ask me
to go away. L don't want my part of
the office cleaned up he would say.
Please don't make me move. I'm so
comfortable Then he would give me
nickel to get away from him and
leave him to his own corner without
any of the debris of the business
cleared away. He would rather die
there in the dust and truck than un
cross his legs or tilt his chair back
SO that l could sweep up"
Brother Landstittel stopped the press
long enough to find out what was
chipping the corners of the pages as
they were swept downward from the
big rollers.
Yes, sir" he ruminated, "he was
certainly lazy. One day he gave me
nickel to dot an T. in his copy for
him. He did certainly enjoy life. that
man did"

little balls of mud that they roll TO-

The great crested flycatcher makes
its nest in trees, and uses CASTOR
snake skins in building it.
They do this so that their enemies
will think there are real snakes there
and will not trouble the nests.
The cowbird is a naughty bird and
steals the nest of other birds to lay
her eggs in, so that she will not have
to take care of them.
The other birds do not like to have
the cowbirds eggs in their nest, and
they sometimes build another nest over
it for their own eggs. This makes a
two-story birds nest.
The humming bird has the smallest

COrncd Beef Hash.

This Is perhaps the most usual
and at the same time one of the most
savory kinds Of hash. To make it,
allow one part of cold boiled potato
cut into small cubes to two parts OF
cold corned beef chopped fine; mix
well and season to taste with salt and
pepper. Put large tablespoonful of
butter In frying pan; when melted
turn the meat and potato mixture into
1t and add enough boiling water to
moisten thoroughly. Cover closely and
set on hot part of the range for five
minutes, being careful not to let it
scorch. When a crust is formed on the
bottom, turn and brown the upper side,
then transfer to hot plate and send
70 the table at once.

BOUND. TO SEE BABY BROTHER,

California Lad Saves Pennies tn
carry Him to Tennessee.
FOR two years light-haired, blue
eyed boy waited and longed in Califor.
MIA to see that wonder of wonders,
new baby brother, in a faraway
home in Tennessee His mother and
father had separated three months be-
fore the baby arrived and many were
the times that Bryan Alexander won.
derede just what that little brother
looked like, how often it cried and if
it fulfilled the ideals he had set up for
1t. He longed to see his mother and
ne longed to see the baby, but Red

Tenn. He had no money and the ia.
Their would furnish neither the money
nor the consent that would allow the
child to travel
hoped and with this spring came the
first hope that his boyish ambition
would be fulfilled. He was given job
as messenger boy, the nickels and
the dimes were saved carefully, almost
miserly. At last came the time when
there was $500 in the treasury, and
so Bryan took the only suit he could
get-his blue Overalls- bought half
fare ticket to Tennessee and started on
his runaway journey across half con-
tinent.
Bryan arrived in Kansas City a few
days ago, the New York Herald says,
and while he waited for a train that
was to take him to st. Louis he told
of his trip and of the things that had
happened on the journey.
When l got to Salt Lake City l
had a dollar left and was wondering
how l was going to get enough to eat
for the rest of the way, when a police
man arrested me-" the boy said. HE
had a telegram from papa, who said l
was running away. They put me in
Jail for three days until they could
hear from mamma. She telegraphed:
Let him come; the boy is all
right
THE Mormons out in Utah treated
me nicely. They gave me money to
buy enough to eat. One man, named
Gardiner, gave me suit of clothes.
This coat is what he gave me. I am
wearing my overalls so as to save my
pants until l see mamma. My papa
was not bad to me. Once in a while
he was cross, but I left him because
I wanted my mamma and the baby"
The boy carried letters of recommen-
dations from Ephraim G. Gowanus,
Judge of the Salt Lake City Juvenile
Court, and from S. M. Barlow, chief
of police The letters stated that the
boy had been examined by them and
that they. believed he was right in go
ing to his mother.
The boy said his fathers name is
]. I. Alexander. He is an orange
grader in Redlands. His mother is
Mrs. Maggie Alexander of Martin,
Tenn. She was picking strawberries
for living the last time Bryan heard
from her.

To Render Suet.

Many housekeepers are deferred
from the economical practice of rem
dering the suet which the butcher
gives with meat on account of the dis
agf eeable odor which is likely to re-
suit through the house. Yet beef suet
is the best of animal fats for frying,
and cannot be obtained in any other
way than by rendering it at home. To
melt it without smell, keep for the
purpose a small pot with a tightly
fitting cover, and reduce the suet over
