DEAD MAN RETURNS
 HOME FOR HOLIDAYS

There will h' particularly happy Christmas for two women I'll San Francisco. A brothcr hOm they had mOurncd as dead Ina: come home to spend the hol- idays with them, and their mourn Ing has been turned into rcjoic- ing.
 William NJ Cummings, an Alaskan mining man, is the dead" brother, and the delight ed sisters are Mrs. George w. llinkcl of 2832 Brodcrick street and Mrs. Fred ". Morcom of 2395 Hilbert street.
 The story of how Cummings was thought to be dead when he was yet alive. tends to show that middle name may often be of great value. Cummings had been at Valdez, Alaska, for some time, but left there last June without notifying his relatives in this city and went to Vancouver island. During last November another William Cummings, whose middle initial was A, was frozen lo death at Valdez and notice of his death appeared in the newspapers. A friend read the account and noti- lied the two sisters of William NJ. Cummings. They gricvcd the loss Of their brother, and wrote to Valdez for particulars, including detailed description of the dead man.
 In the meantime, the brother of the sorrOwing sisters, knowing nothing of the death of the other Cummings, wrOIc from Vancouver island that he intended to spend the holidays at home. He arriv- cd here last Sunday, and a day later his sisters received from Valdez letter containing a full description of William X. Cum mings, who had lost his lifc.-- Examiner.

RED SNOW FOUND
 IN SIERRA NEvADAs

Berkeley, -Cal.--Prof. Charles Atwood Kefoid, professor of so- ciology at the University of Cal lfornia, has received from Ford Carpenter, director of the Unit ed States weather bureau at San Diego, a photograph in colors of red snow taken in the Sierra Ne vada mountains.
 The picture is of scientific in tcrest bcause it records faithful ly a phenomenon often seen in the Arctic and borcal regions and in the high Alps and the Sicrras. Visitors to the Alps are familiar with the prospect of the highly cOlored snow.
 "Thc phenomenon is of rare scientific interest,"" says Prof. KefOid, although scientists sev- eral years ago worked out it's na- lure. The rcd snow comes from an animalcule, a plant organism that lives in the thawing snow and propagates rapidly"
 Red snow is frequently seen in the hills surrounding Valdez. It is usually found on snow glaciers or where the snow leaves only late in the season. The mountain on the left limit of Avery river is covered by an immense snow gla- cier, possibly one of the largest in Alaska, so far as depth of snow is concerned.
 Patches of red snow covering an area from few square feet to one-quartcr of an acre arc Co be found there late in the sum- mer.

OSACE INDIAN BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE
SENATOR OWENS BILL MEANS
MILLIONS FOR THIS WEALTHY
TRIBE.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE richest
people on earth, the Osages of Okla
homa probably will within few
weeks be able to withdraw their
funds amounting to about S9,OOO,Ooo
from the United States treasury ana
assume the same status as other cit
izens OF the country. This provision
with numerous others of vital import;
ance to the Osages, is provided for
in Senator Owens bill which We'd
nesday was passed by the house.
The measure was before The house
the greater part of the day and the
debate on various features OF the
measure was marked by sensational
charges by Representative Aiken OF
New York. The opposition which was
only first generally apparent, was
provoked by the Indian Rights asso-
citation, which had written all men
bers of the house protesting against
the passage of the measure. II was
left for the New Yorker TO raise
the greatest disturbance. He pre-
sented long petition OF anonymous
character in charging a coiluSlon -
the secretary of the interior and GER
tain Indian attorneys in Washington
to swindle the Osages. The petition
stated furthermore that the measure
had been -Tamed at the nstigaton
OF these attorneys who We're, the pc
ton said, scoundrels and what not
When pressed for the authorship Of
the anonymous statement, Aiken
shouted:
Il will not. tell now, nor never
WILL
At this the house laughed ana
began to ridicule the New YorN
representative. members of the On
Iahcma delegation who We're thor
oughly acquainted with the benifcent
intent of the measure soon quietcd
10 cpen opposition of other mem
bers of the house and they practic-
ally united in repudiating the charge
fatherd by Aiken. Owing to the pro-
tests made by the Indian Rights
association, other members explained
they had proceeded cautiously, not
teng thoroughly acquainted with IN
dian affairs, particularly those Of
the Osages.
The Usage measure as passed -
the house provides that the pyOnatc
courts of the state and the secretary
Of the interior may act Jointly in
partitiOning estates. This pro;sion
alone will make it possume TO pace
about 100000 acres in the Osase
country on the Oklahoma tax list,
lands which have been lying idle for
years and useless to all,
The provision which allows all
competent Indians (ther competency
being judged by the secretary of the
nterior) the right TO withdraw their
portion of tribal funds from the fed
eral treasury also provides that 'pese
Indians may sell surplus lands with
ont restriction OF the government. 1t
is estimated that this provision will
make possible the throwing Of 200,-
900 more acres open TO settlement
and taxation. This provision .ran;-
