In recent years the activity Of the
federal governments bureau of indian
affairs has been directed toward two
main ends. the improvement of the
health OF the Indian and his education
along the line of self support. OF the
country's quarter million Of Indians
only 81 1000 are now receiving rations
from the government. The bureau en-
cages expert farmers to teach the In
dian all there is to be learned about
proper methods Of farming, and the
teaching staff is being increased con-
stantly In Carlisle. Hampton. Haskell
and other indian schools agriculture
Is taught to those who intend to go
out and become teachers among their
own people. 80
Last year in the Yakima reservation
ifty-six Indians raised 23, 900 bushels
of grain. while others grew alfalfa sue
cessfully. Among the Nebraska VIM
nebagos the value of the crops was
estimated at $780, 900. In twenty-five
western reservations demonstration
farms have been established for the
benefit of the Indians. and the farms
are doing an increasingly useful work.
In several cases the state authorities
are cooperating with the federal gov
eminent in the work.
An interesting instance Of the will
ingness Of the Indian to learn from his
white %neighbor and to emulate him in
ways hat have proved successes Is
found in the development OF interest
in the planting of fruit trees among
the Nez Perces Of Idaho. OF course not
all Of the Indians are Independent
farmers. Some of them seek and n
employment or farms as helpers n
laborers, and the reports Of their prog
ress are satisfactory. In the great ir-
rigation works Of the west their help
is found valuable. The sugar beet re-
gion in and about Colorado furnishes
employment for many Indians.

THANKSGIVING Day

What blessed memories arise
OF happy hearts and merry eyes,
This crisp November weather.
OF loved ones. now long laid away
To rest, when dear Thanksgiving day
Still found US all togetheri
For days ahead we planned It all.
The rare good things for great and small.
And as the time drew nearer
That ripened mince and pumpkin pie.
More CHEEKY grew each laughing eye
AND every face grew dearer.
Then every heart more gentle grew
And every look more kind and true.
And life was sweeter living
Then were forgotten strife and pain.
And peace once more resumed her reign,
And all Joined In Thanksgiving.
All. who shall know the silent power
That moves each heart that blessed hour
When loved ones, all together,
On glad Thanksgivings. great and small.
Around the board are gathered all.

REACH HOME FRIDAY.
Rescued Passengers Will Not Be
Landed at Halifax.

New York, April 17.-Vice Presi-
ident Franklin positively refused to
give out the full text OF the message
received from Captain Haddock. Of
the Olympic. reporting the sinking
of the Titanic. This attitude led to
the belief that the message told Of
loss Of life. which the company de-
sired to confirm before making pub
lie.
Mr.. Franklin said Captain Had.
docks message was brief and meg
lected to say that all the crew had
been saved"
1t is said that the Carpathia had
six or v hundred of the Titanic's
passengers aboard, including all of
the first cabin, and that the vessel
should reach New York Friday morn
ing. No information had been re-
ceived from the Virginian or Partisan
at the White Star line offices. al
though it was said to "be known
that many Of the Titanic passengers
were on these vessels.
Mr.. Franklin said he had cancelled
arrangements for the special trains
which they had planned to send to
Halifax to bring the rescued passen-
gers to this city by rail, as it was
believed that the boats which had
Titanic passengers aboard would
steam direct for New York.
