In addition Newell declares that,
even though the farmers of the af
fectod region now are willing to
pay thcir share of the total cost OF
irrigation systems, due to the drouths
Of the past lhrcc years they would
allew th1 systems to 90 to rach and
ruin in the years when there was
adequate rainfall He believes they
would not take the same care or in
tercst in keeping up their bitches
should tdcrc he plentiful natural
supply OF watcr and consequently
argues that the government would
be throwing away the money. TO
this argument the Oklahomans have
advanced the statement aud petit
tIons signed by hundreds OF farmers,
pledging their continued support to
any irrigation systems the govern
mcnt may see fit to father. Further
more they point out the lact that
the several private projects which
have been established are prosper
ing AID that fields before barren
have seen mdd@ to bloom This ii.
SO IS one Of their arguments in reply
to the statement tDat the characer
Of Oklahoma water is such hat as
to injure the crops
There is one peculiar feature OF
the proposition which the Oklahoma
irrigation boosters dislike and have
not been SLOW to express to the de-
partmeut officials
Election May Alter Attitude
The state in past years Aas contri
buted to the general reclamation fund
about $G000U00 from the sale OF
surplus lands. ol which about $67 600
has been spent in investigating the
feasibility OF Oklahoma systems In
states which have contributed a far
less amount, the government has
spent money in a prOtigate fashion
in irrigating, In many of these
states where there is a comparative
ly small Indian population vast
sums have been spent to irrieatc In
dian lands and now. when Oklahoma
comes up before the department
with a plea for irrigation projects.
even though tvo-thirds OF TIE In.
dian population Of the country re
sides within her borders, Newell
gives ncr the icy shoulder The in
justice OF the Official seems uuQucs-
toned, This attitude may alter
somewhat after ,'the prcsidenuias
election
There is possibility that despite
Newell's objections to giving Okla
homa chance for her white alley
in the irrigation question, Assistant
Secretary Adams and higher officials
Of the department. will see fit to over,
ride him and order an investigation
OF the project proposed. This is

" discovered gold-yielding land
excites civilized communities, so this
account of fairyland set the natives Of
the home island wild with excitement,
and passion to seek it's shores. In
deed, TIE Kupe himself, was regarded
now as but little less than god.
Preparations began to be made at
once by the more adventurous spirits
to visit and explore the strange
island. Six large canoes were con-
structed and named AOtea, Arawa,
Tianui, Mataatua, Takitumu and Ku-
rahaupo. They were laden with pro-
visions and water, and one day they
left shore.
Why the Name.
TIE Kupe's canoe kept in advance Of
the others and led the way. Days
passed with no sight of anything but
water. But eventually land was
reached. TIE Kupe's canoe, the Aoeta,
was the first to get to shore; hence
the Maori name Aotearoa was given
by it's occupants to New Zealand.
At what period this took place is
unknown. It is one of those interest
ing events in connection with their
history which has been lost in the
dim vista of the past. But the Maoris
today invariably refer to Hawaiki as
the fatherland of their race. Hence
the native proverb: 81 kune mai
Hawaiki, to kune gal te kunO tangata"
THE seed of our coming is from
Hawaiki, the birthplace Of man"
The genius of the Maori people is
simply marvellous. They seem to have
a natural gift for carving. Without
mathematical instruments the true
ness Of the lines and of the figures is
astonishing. Their canoe-heads are
fine specimens of such carving.

The Maori are really not the aborig-
inals of the country, nor are they of
the same stock as the natives of Aus
tralia, who are of a strikingly differ
ent type of man, and so much lower
In brain and talent as to be out of
comparison with them. Indeed, the
Bushmen of Australia, if not the low
est grade of humanity, are but a
single rung from the bottom, the de-
cision lying between them and the
Hottentot, their young wandering
about naked, and being taken no more
account of than monkeys. New Zea-
land. moreover, never was a part of
Australia. 1t has none of its trees,
flowers, animals, birds or reptiles.
which are as totally dissimilar as it's
natives.
Discovered BY Priest.
The folklore of the people says New
Zealand was discovered by TIE Kupe,
q priest who lived on an island called
Hawaiki. This priest incurred the
displeasure of the ruling chief of
Hawaiki and was compelled to fee his
island home to save his life
Securing a canoe and stocking it
with provisions, ne put to sea, as he
supposed to see home and friends no
more, and possibly to find his grave in
the mighty ocean. But a kind provi-
dence favored the lone boatman and
over the peaceful ocean he padded
his way. His was a long journey.
When his relatives found he did not
return, they mOurned him as dead.
To their surprise. many moons later,
he came back as one returned from
another world. But the story he
brought was even more surprising
than his appearance. He told them
in glowing language of a wonderful
country which he had discovered to
wards the south. He spoke of It's
richness and the strange things he

mountains, steaming lakes, gigantic

Of broad culture and learning.
She is a native. New ZeaIander who

sefni-saVagery and is today the most
brilliant woman of her race.
She has addressed large audiences
In this country and was last winter
the principal speaker on the program
Of the Illinois Teachers Association
meeting in Chicago.
The story of these staiWart island
ers from New Zealand, is one of stir
rina interest. Their Chautauqua
program is one of the most novel
features on the American platform. 1t
10 like a night in New Zealand.
The Raweis Company has three
members, Hire Taimoa Rawei, her
husband and their son, Rae. They
come out in native costumes and in
addition to their songs, stories and
their many strange ceremonies and
lamentations, they present a series OF
beautiful pictures of the south sea
