BUREAU Of indian Affairs 1RYS
TO PUT COUN1RY'S indian Wards
upon A SELF SUSTAINING BASIS
Annual Report of Commissioner to
Interior Department Made
Public

pal features of the attack is IAN inten-
sive attack upon the two diseases that
most seriously menace the health of the
ADMINISTRATIONS and tuberculosis"
AS result of the increased appro-
priation for the suppression of the liq-
uor traffic, the report says, unusually
extensive operations were conducted,
covering practically every state of the
Union in which Indians reside
During the year," the commissioner
says, 1867 new cases were placed on
the dockets, ,657 arrests were made,
TAI indictments secured, and ,055 con.
victions obtained. Cases against 28O
persons were dismissed, and % persons
were acquitted"
The commissioner says that the bu-
reau has been aided in its efforts in this
line by the cooperation of the state Of
fcials, and continues:
1T is gratifying to find in few cases
that the Indians themselves have circu-
lated petition addressed to the home citv
or town councils asking that saloon IL
censes be revoked and the places closed"
Progress, says the commissioner, is
being made in the work of connecting
the Indian schools with the public
schools, and the association of Indian
children with white children will be a
definite means of promoting the assimi-
lation of the Indians into American life.
"A comprehensive survey of the con-
dition of the schools throughout the
service was made during the past year, "
reports the commissioner. "Out of a
school population of about 40, 900 (this
does not include the five civilized tribes
there are in school 80, 1856, leaving out
Of school 1885 Including public
schools within reach of Indian children,
there are accommodations for 6,544
being unused, thus leaving 4,47l for
whom there would appear to be no
school accommodations: The chi f ST.
rervisor of schools is of the opinion,
however, that with the exception of lie
Navajos and Apaches, all other Indian
children can be we'll cared for in schools
already in existence"
After saying that there are millions Of
acres of Indian lands in Indian reserva-
tions, the report SAYS that thus far
about 100, 900 acres have be. irr;gat-
cd; of this number 1l8, GAO have been
irrigated by Indians and AZ $50 by
white lessees and purchasers.
"1he government no longer looks tip
on its duty to the Indians as merely
involving all honest accounting for its
trusteeship of Indian lands and funds, y
says the commissioner 1T considers
the trusteeship of this property as TIE
means of bringing the Indian to posi-
ton of self-reliance and independence,
where he may be able to accept the op-
portunities and responsibilities of Am
erican citizenship

INDExING BOOKS.
The Custom Is an Old One That De.
veloped Rather Slowly.

vVsVPS0 0dIUST 0t0"ys
The custom Of indexing books de-
veloped gradually. Cicero used the
word "index," but in the sense of a
table Of contents. Seneca provided
some works which he sent to a friend
with notes of particular passages, $50
that he who only aimed at the useful
might be spared the trouble of exam
lining them entire" This was at least
a partial ''index" in the modern sense.
Annotated. or at least explanatory.
tables of contents seem to have pre-
coded the index proper.
Such tables followed the order of
appearance Of the subjects in the
book itself. Alphabetical arrangement,
which was the beginning Of the real
index. appears not to have been
thought of until the invention of print
Ing, and even then it spread but
slowly. Erasmus was one Of the first
to provide his works with alphabetical
indexes. The custom did not become
universal until we'll into the sixteenth
century.
The first index to an English book is
said to be that printed in Polydore
Vergn's "Angliae Historiae," in 1916.
An edition Of this work published ten
years later has an index Of thirty.
seven pages.

next DOORS FRUIT TREE.
The Ono Whose Branches Extend
Over tho Fence Into Your Yard.

Over tho Fence Into Your Yard.
The next door fruit tree, growing so
near the line that laden branches ex-
tend over the fence, has proved a
source Of untold spankings to the
small boy, quarrels between otherwise
good neighbors and even resort to the
police courts. One is inclined to sus-
pect that the original apple tree Of
trouble hung over neighbours fence
The cause of friction is, of course,
the question of the ownership of or at
least the right to take and use the
fruit ON the too widely spread
branches. Generally this fruit is
claimed by the person whose property
Is thus invaded, but if he asserts this
claim to the point of gathering the
fruit without permission he may feel
the iron hand Of the law, says Har-
per's Weekly. If he objects to the
presence of the branches which extend
over his property the owner Of the
tree must remove them. But if the
owner Of the tree applies for the fruit
or asks permission to enter and take it
the owner Of the land over which the
branches extend cannot refuse permits
sion for entry for this purpose. If he
refuses either to hand over the fruit
or to allow the owner of the tree to
enter and take it, then the owner of
the tree may enter without permission,
but he must use no force nor commit
any damage in SO entering.
Certainly the most neighborly thing
to do would be to divide that fruit.

The .Retort LEGAL.


'"Sometimes the law seems unjust
for the reason that 1T isn't .compre-
hended," said a Judge. '"Take the case
of the woman prisoner before Sir Ed
ward Coke This woman appeared In
court with her hat on. The Judge said
sternly:
IA woman may be covered In
church. but not when arraigned in q
court Of Justice
ITO this the woman replied:
ut seems singular that I may wear
my hat in the presence of God. but
not in the presence Of man.
"And she would appear, in her legal
ignorance, to have got the better of
the argument until Sir Edward Coke
retorted:
at isn't singular Mt all. Man, with
his weak intellect, cannot discover Sc
crets known to God, and therefore in
Investigating truth the court must see
all obstacles put aside Accordingly
1t is fitting that the prisoners hat be
removed and with it the shadow that
It casts on her face"

rotary Grassick adds that he would
not confine the restriction Of mar

called social diseases.
Compilation of existing health laws
is endorsed and the matter will be
presented to the legislative assembly
this winter for consideration.
Vital statistic registration has
STEADILY Increased in the last eight
years, the biennial period covered by
the report showing especially good
results. For instance, the reports
of births and deaths for June OF each
year from 1903 to 1910 shows an in
crease Of from 14O births in the first
year to 1,017 in the last while deaths
have increased from ~ to 366. Furth-
or provision is asked for promoting
the gathering of vital statistics.
Efforts made to check the advance
of tuberculosis are also taken up and
the work of the state board of health
as we'll as the anti-tuberculosis asso.
citation are covered. Hope is ex-
pressed that an appropriation may
become available for the establish
ment of state sanitarium at Dun
seth.
Maintenance of pure public water
supplies is subject that North Da.
kota will soon have to deal with.
Permission from the state board of
.healt hfOr the installation of a sew
age disposal plant or sewage puri-
fication plant to be granted only un-
der the direction of the state health
board and then only after a very
careful examination into the condi.
ton Of the system. Cities on the
Missouri river are beginning to feel
the effects of having more thickly
populated adjacent country than
heretofore, while cities on the Red
river have long felt the effects of
dumping sewarge into the river.
Authority from the state for the
adjustment Of the pub..c drinking
cup is urged. Regulations covering
the ddisinfectfon of BARRIERS tools are
contained in the report and it is
stated that a copy of these has been
placed in every barber shop in the
state.
Power to the superintendent of pub.
lie health of the state in dismissing
county or city health officers who do
not comply with the laws and regula-
tons relating to his office believed
worthy Of consideration, and higher
fees for health officers making re-
ports are urged.

The site for the presidents palace,

Cd by President Washington and Ma
5of LEnfant when they laid out the
federal city in 1902. They purposed to
have the presidents house and the
capitol reciprocally close to the long
vista formed by Pennsylvania avenue,
and they also laid out a parklike con-
nection between the two great build
ings. The plans for the house, select
ed by Washington and Jefferson as

The Menu Card In lts First Form.

Tho Menu Gard In Its First Form.
In its old fashioned form the menu
was usually written large on cards of
such imposing dimensions that room
for one only could be found at each
end of the board. In the medieval
dinner this aid. to selection must have
been an absolute necessity, for the
medieval dinner was a mine Of sur
prises. 1t was divided into courses, as
are our own dainty meals; but, whereas
nowadays the diner has a general idea
that fish will follow soup and that en-
tree is succeeded by relieve and can
conceive generally the sort of demand
that each course will make upon his
appetite and digestion, there was no
possible arguing az to what was going
to happen at an early English dinner,
and close study fails to reveal the ex-
istence Of any principle Of arrange
ment.

Hackenschmidt tonight defeated Hen

of the most stubbornly contested bat
ties ever seen here. The men wrest-
led for two hours and 81 IL minutes
before the Russian finally got body

put the latter's shoulders to the mat.
After a brief rest the men went at

INDIAN TIMBER
PUT ON MARKET

Washington, Sept. 13.-During the
past four centuries the Indian has
been deprived Of nearly all of his
land. Now the timber hat is left
on poor Los remaining lands is to
be cut and sold.
The Indian bureau is putting on
the market millions of dollars worth
of Indian timber and timber lands,
which can be obtained at a low price.
Partly as a result of this, a revival
of the conservation controversy in
which Pinchot and Ballinger figured
prominently is threatened. Solicitor
McCabe of the agricultural depart
ment has had a hand in the latest de-
velopments.
Forest service and Indian bureau
officials have agreed tentatively up
on the joint sale. If the plan is ear
led out the forest service will sell its
share of 500, 600, 900 feet of timber
in the Sitgreaves forest, and the In
dian bureau will dispose of its share
in the Fort Apache reservation, both
bureaus agreeing on the price, terms
conditions and supervision.
Ten years will be allowed in which
to cut the timber, and a year or two
before that for building mills and log
ging roads. The scheme is said to be
satisfactory to conservationists and
involves also the sale of 275,0 900
feet of timber in Oregon, the property
of the klamath Indians, 1900, 900 feet
belonging to the Indians IN the Red
