New York, October ga bit of old
American history was recalled in the
memorable decision which Justicel
Blackmar in the Supreme Court of
Suffolk County handed down the 9TH
er day. confirming the purchase of
Indian Field at Montauk Point, L.. H.
by Arthur w Benson from the Indians
in 1879 and settling dispute between'
the Indians and Mr.. Benson and his
heirs on the land for nearly 25O years,
but their once powerful tribe had
dwindled TO few families, when Mr..
Benson bought the land from them. At
the time of the purchase the land was
not worth much. but il became very
valuable when the Long Island railroad
was extended to Montauk Point.
When the Indians found that their
former property has become valuable,
they tried to abrogate the sale and re-
gain possession of the land by legal
process, claiming tribal rights to the
ground. They were ruled out of court,
however, as they no longer had any
tribal organization and therefore no
standing in court. In 1906 the Legis-
lature was induced to pass an act per-
hitting the few surviving Montauk In
dams to reorganize as tribe, so as to
be able to sue as tribe. But even this
did not avail them much, as the court
decided that there is no longer tribe
of Montauk Indians and the sale of
their land to- Benson and his heirs
must be recognized as a legal and
lawful act.

The SQUIRRELS i'm Central Park. the
delight of the children and even OF
grown persons who found pleasure In
watching the graceful antics of these
tame little animals are rapidly be-
coming extinct. In former years the
squirrels multiplied so rapidly that 1t
became necessary from time to time to
capture or shoot large number of
them to keep them from becoming
pest. Now, however, instead of in
creasing in number the squirrels are
rapidly decreasing and the Park au-
thorities fear that in n short time there
will be no squirrels in the park Au-

The girls of New York are extremely
grateful to the authorities for having
begun their war against shortweight-
ing. There is a particular reason for
this feeling of gratitude, which has
nothing whatever to do with the real
ization of the abstract principles Of
honesty and justice. 1t is caused by
the fact that the dispensers of candy
in boxes. fearing to get themselves in
trouble. have abandoned the system Of
weighing their candies with the box in
which they are dispensed and are now
selling the sweets according to weight.

EXAMPLES OF PROGRESS.

In 1850 Texas sold to the United
States strip of territory approx
mating 1OO,OOOOOO acres for $4,000
OOe. Texas was larger then than she
is now and was in debt The land was
not considered valuable, and Texas
needed the money. AT an average
valuation OF $40 an acre the land to.
day would be worth $1,000, 100000. AS
matter OF fact, some of it is worth
several times $40 an acre, and is all
the time becoming more valuable
There was opposition to the sale al
the time, but it was ineffective
Those who favored the sale contend
ed that the United States Govern
ment was buying an elephant Tie
Legislature thought it wise to sell,
and the deal was put through The
territory sold now covers the east
ern half of New Mexico, corner u
Oklahoma and Kansas and a strip OF
Colorado.
II Texas had retained the land she
would today be about one-third larger
and sl,OOO,OOO,OOO Weather than at
present The outcome is a striking
illustration OF the growth and pro
gress of the country.
1t is not probable that anybody in
Texas is shedding any tears over
what now might seem to have been
a rather ill-adysed transaction in
real estate Texas is big enough as
1t is, mighty sight bigger than any
other State in the Union, and IN
spite Of her marvellous development
thee are counties with hardly enough
population TO I'LL the county onic.s
Additional territory, while it would
represent more wealth, would also
mean greater diversihcatiou OF inter.
ests and more acute problems in gov.
eminent Considering that Texas is
doing pretty well under present coz
ditions, there is no especial reason
that she should feel any regret over
her land deal with Uncle Sam
