THERMAL INDIANS ARE
FIRST CLASS .FABMERS

Los Angeles Express: There are
about 5000 Indians in California and
they are declared the best of the orig
inal Americans left in the country
About 125 miles east from Los An
geles, on the Southern T acific railway
is an Indian reservation on which is
located the Martinez Indian School
1t is at Thermal, in the Coachella VAL
ley Jones b. Royce is the superin-
tendent. The Indians on the reserva-
ton have been taught at this school
practical farming and they are putting
the knowledge acquired to practical
use.
They are given lands and are taught
to cultivate them.
1t is a well known fact that when
the average Indian graduates from one
of the Indian schools, if he is sent back
to the reservation it is only a question
of short while until the old tribal
manners and customs are resumed,
for, after all, living is a mere matter
of environment. After the Indian at
Thermal has quilted school he is put
to work on a farm. Everything grows
on these lands-cotton and dates, al
Imperial Valley press., 1911-12-20

mcnds. and oranges, luscious canta-
loupes and perfect watermelons. Small
grains and alfalfa yield abundant har-
vests.
Poor Lo is an apt pupil and the fruit
of his labor is seen everywhere in the
valley. Six years ago he did nothing
while the lands about him on the res
ervation were idle and practically val
ueless. All this has been changed.
Where the sagebrush and greasewood
grew to perfection are now splendid
farms AS to the productiveness of
the soil, when properly titled and irri-
gated, it can be said that last year
from two acres of ground cultivated
by an Indian who grew onions, the
return was more than $500. From
melons, 500 an acre is not a large
yield. Six to ten tons Of alfalfa,
greatest Of all forage crops for live
stock, is produced by the Indians on
this reserve.
Next year, the reserve in all proba-
bility will be opened to settlement, and
when this is done the migration to
that section of California will be as
tonishing. Cotton growing no doubt
will be on large scale.

dynamite. In short, the farmer and
his farm laborer are "Jacks-a at all
trades but experts at none, with the
result that they run that maximum
risk which does not attend the expert
in his speciality.
Unfortunately, we in America have
few statistics in relation to farm ac-
cidents or accidents of any other kind,
hut Germany has, and there is no very
good reason to suppose that American
farm accidents will not prorate with
Germany's. If the German farm la
borer averages more stupid than the
American the American is using more
machinery and works more hours and
under greater pressure of hurry, and
long hours and hurry are prolific sour
ces of industrial accident
For the year 1908, in Germany, 43h
per cent of all industrial accidents
that laid workmen up for more than
thirteen weeks happened in agriculture
and horticulture. Of all deaths re-
sulting from accident 391s per cent
occurred in the same occupations, both
classed together in this country as
farming. Of complete disability cases
CC1Z 70, n
of permanent partial disability the per
cent was As. OF temporary disability
the farm percentage was also As, or
nearly half of the whole taking place
in Germany. OF course, there are
more farm hands in Germany than are
employed in any other single industry,
about 100000 out of total of per-
haps 25,O00,O00 in all, under insurance
but the farming hazard per 100000 en-
ployed is greater than the average of
all industries taken together.
''In the United States we know what
the casualty companies think about
farm hazard because they rate it the
same as that of the carpenter and
higher than the machinist If one will
watch the papers he will be astonished
at the number of accidents reported
from among farmers or farm hands
rs there any good reason why one
who loses hand in planning mill
should be compensated and compensa-
tiOn be denied to one who loses hand
in thresher or feed chopper"

UNDER A NEW LAW

Under the new liability law of Cali
fornia the farmers are liable for in
juries sustained by their employees, and
the Industrial Accident Board of the
State is apparently hearing consider
able complaint of this The board has
therefore issued a statement on the
subject, in which is the following: \
Farming is hazardous occupation.
A moments reflection will show why
this must be so. The farmers are u.s.
ing powerful machinery more and
more year by year and, for the most
part that machinery is being confined
to unframed and ineXpert help. With
out being an engineer, the farm worker
must run engines, pumps, automobiles,
electric motors, threshers, corn cutters
for silOs, barley crushers and what not.
He drives teamo across railroad
tracks in and about switches and
warehouses into which he unloads his
product. He handles horses and mules,
colts and young cattle. He is about
among horned COWS and must handle
head of the herd, who is like enough
to go rampant at any moment, knock
him down and gore him. He climbs
windmill towers at the risk of being
swept off by any gust of wind that
starts the mill to revolving, handles
edged tools, does blacksmithing and,
not infrequently, blasts hardpan or
tree stumps with blasting powder or

ENGLAND FEARS STRIKE
tBY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS

tBY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS
LONDON, Dec. 20.-A meeting of
representatives of the various labor
interests in London today may have
great results in strike that will af-
feet many industries Golfers, rail-
way employees and postal carriers are
among the disaffected trades.
1t is considered unlikely, however,
that there will be any serious labor
disturbances until after the holidays
This belief is based on the statements
of labor leaders that they fear they
would ALLEVIATE the sympathies of the
public by calling a strike just before
Christmas.
The outcome of the Mcnamara case
in America has been the subject of
considerable comment in the British
newspapers. While they assert that
such conspiracies are unlikely in Eng
land, it is admitted that failure to
redress the very real grievances of the
laboring men might drive them to des-
perate methods. The conservative pa,
pers use the Mcnamara case as a hor-
rible example of the effects of union
ism and urge the employers of labor
to stand firm against the unions.
