The agency authorities have re-
ceived advices of a modification of
previous regulations regarding in
dividual Indian moneys, that would
seem to be decided step forward
The order revOkes circular of
last April regarding the response
bility of Indian superintendants
for handling the large aggregate
of money deposited to the credit
of individual Indians, the new die
tum being intended to give to each
Indian the fullest amout Of real
educative responsibility.
AS fast as individual Indians
give justification to such action,
by showing their actual capacity"
the new order reads all of the
moneys due them shall be turned
over to them for their own use.
Superintendents will ask for au-
thority in each particular case. I"

MIL WAUKEE MAY GO
WEST FROM ISABEL
Officials Have Been Looking Over
Proposed Survey Into Per-
kins County.

Word comes from Lennon that
II. G. Hart, general Supe1ntend-
ent: j. + Richards, division sup
erintendent, ard w. j. Kelley
freight and passenger agent, were
at that place last week and made
several trips south Of there to look
over the proposed survey west
from Isabel.
1t has been known for sometime
that the Milwaukee officials have
intended to extend this branch as
soon as crop conditions in this
section Of the country would Justl-
fy it. The present year seems to
have settled all doubts that may
have existed heretofore, and while
railroad company seldom annOuc-
es It's plans e.ardlng proposed
extensions into new territory, yet
the fragmentary information that
we have been able to get from
those in position to know, to-
gether with this latest news of an
investigation Of the actual route
would indicate that an actual eX-
tension is certainly contemplated
and will in all probability be un-
dertaken early next year.
Such an extension would open
up fine country to thicker settle
ment. There are several good
towns already established such as
Coal Springs, Meadow. Bison, The
county seat Of Perkins county, Da-
vision and StroOl, two or three of
which would be connected up with
the new line. This is a fine coun-
try in and around these towns
which, if tapped by a railroad,
would be the means of Immediately
making a big volume of business.
1t is hoped that the railroad com.
pany officials now recognize that
to extend into that country is a
wise business proposition and that
their present activity means that
work will be started soon. Tim
ber Lake Advocate.

possible he done to encourage able
bodied Indians to become lndepen-
dent members Of the community.
The new ruling will be OF great
assistance to many Indians who
wish to build new homes on their
allottments, who nave large
amount of heirShip morey and
other funds to their credit IN
Washington. Under the previous
conditions. as we understand, this
money was doled out to them
monthly only in sums sufficient to
meet their actual necessities.
The new idea, if we mistake not,
is one which Congressman {. II
Burke, of Pierre. has always con
tended for, and in fact secured the
passage of an act to that effect.
1t would seem that the new order
now does away with some of the
limitations or redtape' with
which said act had been encum-
bered. Forest City Press.

MIR. Farmer, do YOU do business through the
bank? If not, why don't You! There was
time when the bank was considered beneficial
only to the capitalist The present day sees
it o. equal benefit to all and necessity for
the practical farmer. There are farmers who
have not yet learned the convenience, safety
and profit that n bank account affords, but
those now using it are accepted at once as
up-to- date, thrifty and busi cess like Not
alone as Il safe and convenient place to
leave his money, but as an ever really re-
sort III case Of necessity of financial as
sistance does the average farmer view his
bank. This bank is especially interested
in the affairs of the farmer and it ever
looks 70 their coEveniences and necessities.
