Auto Rescued from the pesert.

As stated in the last issue of the
Silver State, G. w. Callahan ami
Trainmaster Hamilton broke down
with their auto on the desert eight
miles from Antelope the first of the
week. After looking over the situa-
tion, they concluded that they would
be unable to get the machine to the
station under its own steam, so they
started to walk the distance. Fearing
that some passerby might b tempted
to steal the tools, they both loaded up,
but after going the first half mile the
tools began to get heavy and they
commenced unloading ballast. By the
time they had covered the first two
miles the extra baggage had all been
discarded, and before they reached
the station they had 'blowedo -
clothing until about all they had left
was "a pleasant smile each and their
head covering. Securing a team and
wagon, they went back, recovering
their baggage on the road and hitched
on to the machine and pulled it into
Antelope, where it was loaded on a
flat ear and billed to Amadee.

FINANCES AND MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH1

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-There was a decided slowing down of speculative activity today and the stock market appeared listless in comparison with recent days of feverish trading and spectacular fluctuations Traders who bought stocks eagerly yesterday after the announcement of the supreme courts anthracite decision, showed a little inclination to follow up the rise today. Speculation Jagged and quotations fell back. Movements were irregular and halting Reading at one time sold 25s points below yesterdays close and later one point over. The general list veered back and forth and ended the day with moderate losses predOminating. Call money rates were somewhat firmer, this reminder and the monetary conditions which may prevail at the close of the year helped to check the speculative ac- tivity The bond market was ire gular and with a lower tendency. To- tai sales represented a par value of $1.56O, ,000 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

There is also much land that might be turned to agriculture. Many opportunities are offered for building dams to irrigate what is now desert country, and the soil will yield bountifully
 'The NavajOes will not let them selves be dispOssessed willingly. They are regarded by men who know In- dians as the proudest tribe in the country. They have kept to themselves in all the years of invasion by white men. and there have been few inter- marriages. They practice agriculture to an extent and have many arts, as is shown in the highly prized blankets made by their squaws. They are averse, however, to progress"
 Other tribes besides the Navajoes are in peril of losing their lands. This is especially true in what was formerly Indian Territory and is now part of the state of Oklahoma.

 Indians of various tribes formerly willing to live as "blanket Indians and eat the bread of sloth IS protegas of the government. are turning to agri- culture in increasing numbers. Ths government Indian school at Carlisle.

In 1911 this number had more than doubled. growing to 24.566.

 A new generation, guiltless of the terrible deeds of blood and fire has arisen. and it is proposed to transfer the ApaChes now held on the Fort Sill military reservation. in Oklahoma. to their old home on the Mescalero Apache reservation In New Mexico. Some of the Apaches came from New Mexico, and those who desire to return to that state may be sent there. A bill to that effect was passed recently by the United States house Of representatives
 Passions of a quarter of a century ago have died down. The tomahawk and the scalping knife, the rifle and the frebrand no longer bring death and desolation to the isolated farmsteads and ranches and mining camps of the southwestern United States, but the older residents of New Mexico and Ari- zona still recall with horror the old, bad, red days of the Apache chiefs Colorado, Geronimo and Cochise. However, for the most part, they are willing to have the remnants of the captive Apaches settled on their old reservation. Their recollections Of death and destruction are not what has

 It is encouraging to the friends of the Indians and of fair dealing to note that, while the federal government is watChful of the interests of its wards, the Indians themselves are preparing to act on the principle that the best aid comes from oneself. The Society of American Indians, which held it's first meeting at the Ohio State uni versity in October 1911, and more re- gently was in executive session at its Washington CD. co headquarters, has announced the creation of a legal aid department, by which to prosecute through it's own attorneys, the claims of the Indian tribes against the gov

 White men have their eyes longingly on these lands. as they have on others belonging to Indian tribes. A notable instance in point is that of the Nava- joes. one of the proudest and most in teresting of all American aboriginal families. Tt may not be long" says a recent report, before the proud tribe that has so well preserved its identity will be swallowed by civilization, as other tribes have been. The initial movement for the opening of the Navajo reservation to settlement has been taken in a memorial which the

 "The Navajo reservation contains about 2300O0O acres. As the tribe numbers less than 2.O00 members. ac- Cording to the best figures obtainable, this would give about 1900 acres apiece to them. It is declared that this allotment is unjust, because white citizens could not take up so much public land. It is declared also that the new state has been handicapped be- cause of large reservations of land in it by federal officials on account of for ests and minerals. Similar conditions exist in Arizona
 "The reservation is known to be rich in minerals. White men who have been at the government station tell of gold and silver ornaments they have seen among the NaVajoes and of tales of large deposits that have been worked by the Indians in their crude way. Many white men have tried to get per mission to prospect and develop the mines, but they have met with stern refusal. Some prospectors who have

trust their leadership of the movement will draw others, since in the cases of the little sisters to be looked after by the Big Sisters 1t is personal effort, re- quiring time. that counts. The very first of the Big Sisters is Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, ST, to whom is awarded the credit of setting the ball to rolling. She began her visits to the children's court of New York about two years ago and found much to arouse her sym pataies and her interest. The sordid and sometimes tragic stories of the youngsters arraigned in the court aroused in her a desire to do some thing permanent to ameliOrate their conditions At first she enlisted her sisters. Mrs. Stephen H. Olin and Mrs. F. C. HaVemeyer, in the work, and these three women gradually drew to thems,'vs others of like mind.
 To the social workers of New York Mrs. Vanderbilt has come to be known ss an earnest. active helper. Her most recent public appearance before the present was as builder of the Wander bilt tenements, known officially as the
 East River Homes, where in persons threatened with tuberculosis or in f1icted with inclpient disease may have
 at low cost the advantages of fresh air and wholesome environment in their
 fight against consumption.
 The model for the work of the Big
 Sisters is found in that of the Big Brothers. These are the men-young.

 and helpful and the man who does
 good for the salvation of his own soul. So 1t Is going to be with the Big Sis ters after they get their movement fairly started. Already they have of fees in the suit of rooms occupied by the Brothers, and they have secretaries to attend to the sessions of the chill dren's court and notify them when a
