Poor To" Is Now Able
 To Support Himself

Special Correspondence of The Re view. by Winfield Jones.
 WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Now that the government has practically put the Indian upon a self supporting basis, attention has been directed to the Eskimo and native Indians of Alaska. Through the bureau Of edu- cation of the department of the inter for special schools have been provided in Alaska and this system Of educa- ton has been extended within the past two years.
 According 10 W. T. Lopp, head of the Alaska schools the present need of the natives of Alaska is an indus trial education that will fit them 10 become self supporting. and prepare them to compete with the white men who have invaded the country Twen- ty years ago the Alaskan natives were able to support themselves. Since the advent Of the white man with the dis covcry of gold every year has found the natives less able to support themselves.
 The natives are taught the use of implements of industry hygiene, san itation, ard modern cookery. Business in it's various aspects are all taught. As d result of the working of this sys- tenn of education natives stores, small factories. and various industries have been started In numbers of cases the bureau has assisted the natives m these enterprises. Already there are numbers of stores in Alaska run D? natives sailing boats are owned by a considerable number, while some native homes rank among the most pretentiOus.
 Carpentry is taught in the various schools and the haudiwork Of the na- tives is seen in nearly every seaport and lake port town. At Cape Prince Wales and Unstarloet the natiV es own their own schooners. nine being en- gagged in regular trade at Cape Prince Wales.
 The reindeer is the principal source of income to the native. These animals furnish the native with nearly everything he requires. Reindeer we're introduced in Alaska by sthe govern ment in 1892 when herd ef ITO were landed at Port Clarence from Siberia. ln eleven years following more than 1900 were imported Today there are 27 900 reindeer in Alaska. The rein deer were distributed among the na- tiyes by the government. All natives desiring to own herds of their own must Serve sn apprenticeship of foul

years By the time their four year service has expired they OWu a herd of about fifty deer given them by the government and become self-supporti- ing Interesting experiments are being conducted in connection with the rein deer It has been found that the moss upon which the deer feeds is not particularly nourishing and con seqUently the reindeeT's scope of ac- tivity is limited. The experiments con ducted so far have been to teach the animal to eat other food.
 The natives are of course fisher men. Even the women share this ability with the men. The up-tO-date methods of catching fish by nets and traps were eagerly adopted by the natives and in some places large bus inesses have been developed. In Southern Alaska number of can neries have been established and the natives get from S2 to s a day work ing at canning.
 In every way and in every large settlement the government solicitude for the native is felt The practical ed ucation Of the native is seen every. where.
 Even the most nCrtherly point m Alaska, Point Barrow. has fe.t the touch of civilization. Here is located one of the school houses, the one far therest north in the world. From this point south. the government, hopes Co erect eight new schools within the next fifteen months. They will be built on the coast Ene.
 Besides educating the native and helping him better his condition by introducing reindeer in Alaska the government has posted the natives Cn the price of vhalebone and other O. the natural resources of the coun' try. A few years ago, trading vessels along the Alaska coast could get all the whalebone they wanted m eX- change for trifling trinkets. Later when a money value was set traders paid about 500 a pound for the bone. Today through government methods wRsiebone brings from S 10 B per polind This has opened up very lu- crative trade to the native. A catch usually weighs from 2.O00 to 2,5o0 hounds Some natives are lucky enough to kill two and sometimes three a season.
 The natives with government help are gradually being brought up to the standards Of civilization, and within the next decade or two will be enter ing into the commercial life Of Alaska in sharp competition with white men.

School Of Mines For Each
 State Provided By Bill

WASHINGTON. March 27-There is an important measure pending in the house. introduced by Congressman Foster of Illinois, providing for a portion of the proceeds Of the sales and lease og public lands shall be ap- propriated for the endowment oI schools or departments of mines and mining in each Of the various states.
 The initial appropriation is Co g's
 S5,O0u with an increase of 5000 for five years when the PTropriatiOn will amount to S2j,GO0
 IL is provided that the money SO au- propriated shall go to any school of mines already in existence under state control. or if there he no such school already established. then such sch pol
 or department shall be established in connection with the state agricul- tural colleg7, or other school under
 state control, 10 be desi suated by the secretary of the interior.
 The mOney appropriated under this
 act is to be eXUended for instructiou research and experiment in mining. mining machinery. mining engineering ere treatment metallurEy. assaying, chemistry and --JlOgy, and the best and safest methods Of mining also con centratiug, smelting and tho refining of ores. and for t-e study and pre- yention of explosions fires. and to se- cure the most iuteilieeut conversation
 use and development Of mining and
 mineral resources of the country to
 make the lives of miners more safe.
 property in mines more secure, and
 70 promote the general welfare of
 mines and operators of mines.
 The most important part if this bill
 will be the opportunity that is afford
 ed each state to investigate its own resources. It will provide for many Centers of investigation a5 there are
 state. and each state will have an opportunity 10 develop its own par ticular interests. whether coal, gas, oil. mineral resources, or any such products as might be manufactured from clays, shales and such materials
 as might Ue found iu any locality, including its quarries.
 It will also afford an opportunity
 for many Of the brightest young men
 in the states to take Up the work of study and investigation in lines that are of special value to the state in
 which they live. The great values Of 1 centers Of study and investigation of
 this kind tO the state has already been demonstrated in the work that is being done in several of the states by their departments Oi agriculture. which have been aided by federal legis- lation. While federal legislation that would provide funds to aid the mining schools already in existence in the states or that would create schools in connection with the state agricultural 1 colleges or other state institutions, ' it would be possible to develop the states mining interests much in the same manner that the state agricul- ! tural interests are being so satisfac- torily developed One of the wise provisions of this bill IS tfat it con meets these proposed schools for scientific study and investigations with the institutions that are already | in existence, thus avoiding any cost or | unnecessary duplication that might 1 be necessary if the schools were Go ! be founded in any otherwise than in

THE ROOSEVELT COLLAPSE.

The supporters CT Mir. Roosevelt are fertile in reasons why he is COZ tinually getting turned down" His overwhelming defeat in the New Yora primaries on Tuesday is now attriI uted by his managers to the character Of the primaries in which it Is charged that too little power was yielded to the people and too much reserved to the machine. Yet, 1t is not contended that the New HorE primary system can deprive any vot CT of the right to register lis prefer ence and such charges of fraud an unfairness as have been made 10 at' count for the defeat of NIT.

connection with institutions that have already laboratory facilities and men and students already trained for un- de-tahug the work.
 The opportunity thus afforded to young men for getting an education in lines above suggested, and that en- thusiasm engendered by the possibili- ty Of making valuable discoveries can only be appreciated by men who havs -Crked in laboratories with students v ho have been guided and directed in the fields oI original investigation With d center for study. experiment and investigation adapted to the con G.tiOus or the state. the results accom- Iished would not only be directly ap- Thoable, Lut of he greatest value to rhC locality in which the work has been accompl' shed.
 interest is being manifested in this biIl among the members of congress esI eCidlly those from the great min Iug states of the country and even in states where there is very little or no mining. congressman are favorable 10 the bill because in all of the states there are deposits of clay. shale stone, and many other mineral substances that research and experiment may de veiop into agencies of tremendous value and profit to the country; but most of them take a larger view than immediate benefits to any particular state or industry and say they are Il favor of any kind oi an educational movement and are eady 10 give it as sistanCe.
 Ot course the states will Lear the larger bJrden oi maintaining these schools of mines just as She states appropriate many times more than Ihe government sets aside for the sup port Of the great agricultural colleges of he nation.
 The prcaraticn 1f a large number e young men ar these schools of mines in every state or the union is bound to stimulate the mining indus try and increase tie output of the mines. for these young men will en- ter the m ming industry and their in- t,uen"e will soon be felt in every min ing field and mining camp in the coun- try with the result that .he tonnase Of ,he railroads will be vastly ir- creased and the country generally ben cited Already over 60 per cent Of 'ltF iOllltei~-t OA AAAb idlAlOduo NOlAtto from the mines.
 About all the direct benefit the peo- plC Of the great interior states re- Ceivc from congressional approprja- tiOns are from the erecting Of a Few public buildings and distribution of a few garden seed, 1isO the annual ap- lt0priatiOn of about SSO,00O or SHD- oC0 tO each state for state agricultural college purposes. These intericr-staJes get no direct benefit from the vast sums appropriated for rivers and har- bors. light houses, life saving stations, coast detenses. and naval expenditures therefore. all members of congress from interior states should be especial iy interested in securing this small appropriation for their states.
 X step in the right direction has leeu taken by congress, for two years ago congress established tEe bureau of mines which is doing a great work and the state wide system Of schools of mines will be correlated with thls great bureau. and all work in har- mOey for the building mp and conserya- ton of the mineral resources of the waOle CoUDtTv.

THE ANTI-SLOAN A RESOLUTIONS.

By its resolution on Tuesday pro- testing against the confirmation of the appointment of Judge Sloan, the legis. la,ure, We believe, went far towar.i defeating the purpose Of the men wdo are behind tae anti-Sloan movement. The statement that nothing is furth. CT from our intent than to take this as a partisan one" will not be an ef. fective disclaimer in the face of the result of the roll call, so that ,he president and the senators to whom the resolutions are addressed. must regard the opposition to Judge Sloan as partisan.
 While We could wish that this thing had not happened, the friends o. Judge Sloan may look upon it as a fortuitous incident which can only weaken the opposition to him.
 The resolutions do not specifically set forth reasons why Judge Sloan's nomination should not be confirmed hut they only allude in a general way to the protests and charges which have been filed with the president and the senate committee on judiciary.
 These charges presumably had been given due and careful consideration by the president before the nomination was sent to the senate. It may oe also presumed that the senate itself will devote the same care to the con sideration Of the charges. It is the disposition of all right thinking mon 10 disassociate the judiciary from par ty politics. The lropriety of this principle is recognized in our own state constitution which provides, that in the preparation of the ballot the names Of all candidates for the office of supreme or superior judge shall be paced upon the ballot in al phabeucal order without partisan or other designation.
 In recent years, judges Of the fed. eral courts have been selected gen. orally without reference to party and in all respects, the attempt has been made to place the judiciary above par ty. It is therefore. conceivable that what appears froI, the legislatures resolutions, 10 be a violation Of this rule of non-partisanship in the selec. ton of judges. will obscure or weak CT the charges that had been made against Judge Sloan.

Speaker Clark on Tuesday left tho chair long enough to make a speech on the floor in support of the bill tc amend the Homestead laws. The bil provides that a three year period shal be sufficient in which to prove up on homestead claims. The only home steads on the continent except fin the United States have a three year home stead law. Canada has a three-year homestead law, and Texas, which manages it's own lands. has three year homestead.
 Mir. Clark in advocating the bill said:
 MT. Chairman, In the early days of the republic the speakers frequently took part in debate. For some reasons -l do not know what-that custom has fallen into innocuous desuetude, to use Mir. Clevelands famous phrase. have a notion. not fully matured, to revive it. | do not see why the Speak CT has not as much right to make speeches as anybody else. if he feels like it Slaughter and applause).
 Missourians take an abiding inter est in the whole western, southwest orn. and northwestern country. (Ap plause) The ablest defender that the west ever had in either branch of congress was Col. Thomas Hart Ben ton, of Missouri. the greatest Missouri statesman that ever lived; and Col Roosevelt says in his Life of Benton that when a thousand Missourians loaded their wives. thildren and household goods into their wagons and went across the plains they set tied forever the ownership Of whac was called the Oregon country; that up to that time the people out there, when it was held in joint occupancy. had been temporary soiourners; but the MissoUrians were there 10 stay. In addition to that, the country has been very largely populated by Missou- rians. (Applause.) They are prQlihc race, and they like 10 go forth to bel ter their condition. Just why they leave Missouri [ can not tell to save my soul, but they do leave it. (Laush- ter and applause) 1 suppose l have received over a hundred letters from Nissourians in the west in favor of the bill. and I am making these re- marks to please them more than for any other reason, except for che strongest reason possible. and that is the bill is rIcht and ought 10 pass.
 A strange historical fact is that during the entire 90 years that Ben ton served in the senate he worked necessarily to make it easier for peo- ule to really homestead land and live upon it.
 And one of the greatest inaccura- cies in history is that the tatherhood of the homestead law is accredited to Galusha A. Grow. of Pennsylvania. Renton worked it out and got every feature of it that was valuable, e-,- cept that he never was able 10 obtain for any of his bills the title home stead law" The day that he went out oI the senate Galusha A. Grow came into the house. Mir. Grow introduced a homestead bill by title in SIX con gresses hand running. and got it adopted in the sixth. Benton secured the substance: Grow secured the title and the historians rob Benton of nts share of lhe Glory 2nd give it all to Grow.
 Benton's theory. and l am simply following lt out, was that tLe posses- sion Of homes and l believe iJ with all my heart-or the getting Of homes
