An incipient blaze in the barn
located in the rear Of Cap. Nenno's
cafe last Thursday morning caused
considerable commotion among our
citizens. The fire department respon-
ded with their usual promptness and
in about 80 minutes after the alarm
had been given, the fire was under
control. The cause of the fire is not
known, but it may be due to the negli-
gent handling Of ashes. The loss to
the barn which belongs to Mrs. Regina
Hauenstein, is nominal. The personal
property of Cap. Nenno was saved
also, so all parties concerned have
every reason to feel grateful.

these people returned from the New
York land show more than twice as
many acres have been cultivated on
the Fort Peck reservation as were
planted the previous year."
In recent years the activity Of the
federal governments bureau Of Indian
affairs has been directed toward two
main ends, the improvement Of the
health Of the Indian and his education
along the line Of self support. OF the
country's quarter million Of Indians
only 21.000 are now receiving rations
from the government. The bureau en-
cages expert farmers to teach the In
dian all there is to be learned about
proper methods Of farming. and the
teaching staff is being increased con-
stantly. In Carlisle. Hampton. Haskell
and other Indian schools agriculture
is taught to those who intend to go
out and become teachers among their
own people.
|" Last year in the Yakima reservation
fifty six: Indians raised $4,000 bushels
Of grain, while others grew alfalfa sue
cessfully. Among the Nebraska VIM
nebagos the value Of the crops was
estimated at 100000. In twenty-five
western reservations demonstration
farms have been established for the
benefit Of the Indians. and the farms
are doing an increasingly useful work.
In several cases the state authorities
are cooperating with the federal gov
eminent in the work. !. 80.
An interesting. instance OF the will
ingness Of the Indian to learn from his
white neiphhor and tn emulafo him in
ways that have proved successes is
found in the development Of interest
in the planting Of fruit trees among
the Nee Perces Of Idaho. OF course not
all Of the Indians are Independent
farmers. Some Of them seek and md
employment on farms a. helpers and
laborers. and the reports Of their prog
ress are satisfactory. In; the great ir-
rigation works OF the west their help
is found valuable. The sugar beet re-
gion in and about Colorado furnishes
employment for many Indians.
