SOMETHING NEW IN FINANCE
Incident That Proves That the South
ern Negro Has Good Head
for Business.

George NJ. Bailey, whose editorial
paragraphs in the Houston Post are
known al over the country, believes
that the southern negro has a good
head for business and finance.
"Rastus," said Bailey, in upholding
his claim, was an old darky who
worked two acres Of land on a big
plantation, and got his foodstuffs from
the big commissary which supplied
everything to the tenants. Rastus,
having poor land as his share, was
continually in debt because he could
never raise enough cotton to pay of
bis bill at the store. There came a
season, however, when cotton grew
and fourished on Rasius' acres. and
when the storekeeper measured up
the cotton he told Rastus
You've got nine dollars coming to
you
Look hyuh, white mani exclaimed
Rastus. Go back dar an look at dem
books ag'in You don owe me no nine
dollars
THE clerk complied, and returned
with the statement that he had been
mistaken. and that Rastus still owed
the store nine dollars.
Now you talkin' sense, said Ras-
tus contentedly Come on back hyuh
an give me a strip oh bacon.
"You see" explained Bailey, "that
old fellow knew that as long as he
kept in debt to the store they would
gifo him credit, and he was afraid
that If he ever got out Of debt the
store might refuse him credit the next
time he asked for IT, Hence his pleas
ure because Of his financial difficulty"

Washington, March Replying to
a letter from j. r Taylor Of Bradley
Grady county, Oklahoma, Congressman
Scott Ferris has written the follow
ins letter relative to payments on un-
allotted Indian lands;
Under the law providing for the
sale Of the unallotted lands Of the
rive Civilized Tribes, the secretary Of
the interior has the power to make
an extension Of the time Of payments
by an executive order without any leg
islatlon by congress on the subject,
otherwise ! would Be glad to introduce
bill to have you people OF the East
side secure the same relief you have
in the past and which | can now Sc
cure for the homesteaders Of West
ern Oklahoma.
'Inasmuch as matters have been
tded over for you until December,
1912 ] think il is safe to le, the mat,
ter alone until that time. at which
time, think 1t would be wise for you
ana such other purchasers as may be
in need OF attention to get UP a petit
ton stating the facts fully, signed by
yourself and all the other interested
purchasers, and file the same with the
secretary Of the interior and also file
a copy OF It with me. and believe
we can get the secretary to divide
the payments into three or four parts
and extend the time Of them and thus
help YOU people out
I'm the event he does not desire to
take the initiative himself toward
granting a further extension. I shall
be perfectly willing to introduce a
bill FOR you and help secure the ex
tension tor you BY legislative enact
ment. again respeat that I would
be perfectly willing to introduce a
bin for an extension now. other than
for the fact that we have already
given the secretary Of the interior The
power to extend tho payments and
think he will be ready and willing tC
do so when the time arrives and viii
grant relief % those who need ex
tension
Il again respeat that you and the
other purchasers Of land may call OF
me for such assistance. as you MAJ
need, when tsat time does arrive. fol
am well aware Of the hard times
that prevail there by reason Of th'
drouth and short crops. etc"

Nuts That Give LIob,.

Seeds Of two very remarkable trees
have recently come to the government
plant bureau through the hands Of our
agricultural explorers. Both oil them
might be called light bearers. though
IN ways somewhat different.
One Of them Is the "pillr nut tree
which grows in the southern part OF
the island Of Luzon, and nowhere else
IN the Philippines. It is quite a large
trse, and its seed is described as ex-
traorlinarily rich in flavor. An the
Americans IN The Philippines think it
the finest nut grown. When the nuts
are roasted. If a lighted match be
touched to one Of them. it will burn
like a lamp so rich is it in oil.

WATER IN CANAL.
Ilcad..ates Raised With ADo AE,iatC
Ceremonies Near DOwney.

Downey, March 27.--The irrigated
tract Of the Portneuf-Marsh Valley
company today passed from the sup
ncsitious stage into that of ,aii1y
when with impressive ceremonies tn,
main haadgates of the company's sys-
TEN were raised allowing the water
of the Portneuf river to flow through
the canals. The ceremonies were wit
messed by a number of persons, some
of whom were representing the Kid
der-Peaboby company of Boston, who
financed the project.
Promptly at 2:30 this afternoon the
headgates were raised by number
of ladies. simultaneously Mrs. Will
liam R. Ware of East Milton, Mass,
broke n bottle containing water from
Portneuf river on the inside of the
gate, thus wetting the canal with wa
ter from the river from which it takes
its source for the first time. A large
concourse Of settlers who have taken
up land under the project, many of
whom have waited four years for wa
ter with which to irrigate their crops,
were present and when the first water
was allowed to flow into the canal
rent the air with loud cheers. The
main celebration will take place on
April 23.-Statcsman.

ACROSS MOUNTAINS ON SKIS.
James Brown Makes Long Trip on
Snow Shoes.

James Brown, a young man of the
Grays Lake country, an employe of the
Caribou Mining company, made the
trip from Grays Lake here, distance
of something over seventy miles, over
the hills and mountains, on skis, ar
irving last night. The trip was made
unusually difficult on account of the
fierce wind of Wednesday, which he
had to face. 1t required seventeen
hours to make the trip, which could
have been made under ordinary cir
cumstances in half the time.
Brown came straight from Grays
Lake to Keifer's ranch, where he rest
ed. and from there to Ammon, east
of town, where he was obliged to
abandon his skis and come to town by
the more conventional way of walking.
Brown experienced heavy snow all
the way across the range, the snow av-
eraging at least five feet in depth.
This fact and taking into consideration
that there was no trail broken, and
that familiar landmarks were covered
with snow, made the trip both dan
gerous and hard.
The snow at Caribou and the Grays
Lake country, he states, is the heav-
lest for twenty-five years. The stage
route from Soda Springs has been
abandoned and the mail is carried
from Soda Springs to Grays Lake by
men on skis. The snow is packed hard
and has melted very little and when
it does go out it will be with rush,
causing flood, Mr.. Brown states.-
