snowsheds at Cascade Tunnel Completed

The concrete snowsheds at Cascade
tunnel on which the contractors have
been working the past two years are
completed and no longer will trains
passing over the mountains in winter
be in danger. In addition to the vast
amount of permanent shedding that
was built last year, this summer has
witnessed the construction of 1400 feet
more of the imperishable barrier. The
big shed of concrete that is now fully
ready for service has been thrown over
the rails at Tye formerly known as Well
ington where the Great Northern ex-
perienced the great slide that cost so
many lives. Never again say the rail-
road officials can that particular point
be revisited by destructive avalanch.

You will remember that the federal
government broke up the tribal or
ganizations of the five civilized tribes
several years ago and appoIted
commission OF which the late Senator
Dawes of Massachusetts, was chair
man. to apportion the lands among the
! Individual Indians. After this appor-
/ tionmert was made the remaining
lands were held subject to congress
sional action and the pressure upon
congress from local interests was so
great that these auction sales were
ordered.
1t would seem that the WISER course
would have been TO retain the lands
/ and permit their Indian owners 10
have the benefit OF the increase in
value which the future will certainly
bring. The Indians do NO, need the
money; indeed, they squander III use

of l,650,000 acres of fertile farm lands
which remained after each individual

Creek and Seminole tribes had been
given a farm OF his OWL.
But the Influence of local boomers -
and land Spectators was too strong
for congress to resist, the unallotted
| lands We're divided up into plats OF
reasonable size; dates were appointed
! for auction sales, and public notice
was given by advertisements in the
newspapers
These sales began on the 21st of
November 1910, and the last was
held ON the 25th OF February 1911.
No person was allowed to buy more
than l60 acres in any one Of the Five
Nations, but everybody could buy a
