in charge of w. T. Shelton, who has
locked after the affairs of the Nava-
los in that section for about six years.
II may be stated parentheticaliy that
the old-time type of Indian agent--a
type that wrought nothing but harm
to the red men.-has vanished utterly
from western reservations. 1t will be
found, almost without exception, that
these posts are filled with earnest,
conscientious men whose sole idea is
to advance the nations red wards
that are under their charge. Some
of them meet with greater success
than others owing to the material
with which they have to work. Some
tribes are slow to adopt the white
mans ways, but others, like the Ma
vajos. learn readily and are naturally
industrious and their advancement
has been phenomenal. Mr.. Shelton
represents the newer type of indian
agent and during his incumbency Of
Shiprock has won the complete con-
fidence OF the Indians. He has made
the agency a model of its kind. The
school buildings are of brick and
stone They are arranged about a.
considerable tract, surrounded by
well-kept lawns and attractive flower
beds. Adjoining are well-kept veget-
able gardens and hay and grain fields,
orchards. and pastures. A greenhouse
has recently been completed and is
in charge of one of the Indian boys
who has shown great capability as
a florist. There is a hospital. dining
hall, blacksmith shop and laundry,
most of the work being done by the
pupils themselves. A pumping plant
supplies water to all buildings and
the agency is lighted by gas. An
artificial ice plant is operated during
the long hot summer months and
nearby coal mine is operated under
the supervision of an experienced
miner providing fuel for good share
of the tribe. sawmill is operated
in the timber west of the agency
and the Navajos are using an In
creasing amount of lumber to i'm
prove their habitations

We read of the north and south

and ambition of the brave explorers,
but few of US bear in grateful remem-
brance the extreme sufferings endured
by the four-footed participants in
those fierce journeys without whom

possible. The tribute which Nansen
pays to his dumb companions as well
as the sympathetic description which
in his famous book, "Fartheste North"
he accords them will touch the heart
of all dog lovers:
1t was,' he says, undeniable cruelty
to the poor animals from first to last
and one must often look back upon
it with horror. 1t makes me shudder
even now when think of how we heat
them mercilessly with thick ash
sticks, when hardly able to move
they stopped from sheer exhaustion
ut made ones heart bleed to see
them, but We turned our eyes away
and hardened ourselves.
1T was necessary, forward we must
go ana 10 this end everything else
must give place. 1t is the sad part of
expeditions of this kind that one svs.

remains.

JAY GOULD WOULDN'T REne.
Closed Up a Deal for the Wabash
and Bought a Law Suit.

ana Bought Law SUI,
The purchase of the Pontiac, Ok
ford & Northern railway by Charles
NJ. Hays, president of the Grand
Trunk railway, within four hours
after his arrival in New York last
Wednesday has its parallel in the
buying of the Wabash railway, thea
the North Missouri, several years
ago by the late Jay Could. me
story is told by Topeka railroad
man, says a correspondent of the
Kansas City Star.
This sale was consummatedl with
III three hours after Mr.. Gould and
Commodore Garrison came together.
The story of it, which, by the way,
has never been published, gives an
idea of some OF the unique cnarac-
teristies of Mr. Gould's way OF doing
business.
At that time Judge John F. Dillon
was personal counsel for the Goulds,
as he is today. One morning SIR
Gould went to Judge billions ONCE
and suggested that he be in his office
the following morning. Commodore
Garrison is in town." said Gould
I'VE are to have conference to-
morrow morning. and may wish
some legal advice in case we come
to terms"
The following morning Mr. Gould
came in. They chatted about sew
eral business matters and Gould
started to go, not having mentioned
the North Missouri sale.
How about your conference with
Commodore Garrison this morning?7
asked Judge Dillon.
Excuse me-" was the answer, but
| forgot to tell you. Commodore Gar
rison came to my house last night
and l bought his road gave MIN
my check for S5,500,0O0. Here's a
memorandum of the sale"
Mr.. Gould drew from his pocket a
sheet of the ordinary size note paper,
and In half-dozen written lines was
a memorandum OF the transaction,
Judge Dillon unused for a moment
and then said:
u presume that you know that
you have bought law suit along
with the road"
What do you mean?" came the
quick, almost sharp inquiry.
Il mean" answered Judge Dillon,
that when / was on the federal
bench in st. Louis Garrison bought
the road under a foreclosure safe.
and that is the only title he has to
the road. That proceeding, however,
has been appealed to the Supreme
court of the United States. If the
appeal is sustained you're apt to
have considerable trouble"
is that decree good?n asked Gould
suddenly.
1T ought to be- answered Judge
Dillon with smile. Il ordered it my
SELF
What am to do?" asked the rail-
road king of those days, now thor
oughly alarmed.
Il believe you have a perfectly ie-
gal right, under all the circumstances,
to go to Commodore Garrison and
demand your money back
Gould, who rarely laughed, showed
considerable merriment over the sus
gestion
Why" he said, THEY'D laugh at
me. No, judge, you go ahead with
the law end of it, but we'll let that
check for s5.5O0,O0o take its usual
course"
Some time afterward the Supreme
court dismissed the appeal, and Gould
became the owner of the Wabash in
fact.
