ULSTER WILL ESTABL ISL
ITS OWN GOVERNMENT
Constitution Already Drafted in Pre-
paration For Home Rule Law.

London, Jan. -'ReaHzfng that the
home rule bill will pass the House OF
Commons and fearing that it will be-
come law under the Parliament act
(Which took the veto power away from
the House of Lords), the Ulster Union
lists" says the Daily Mail this morn
ing, "are perfecting arrangements to
resist any attempt to enforce the pro
visions of the bill"
1t will be recalled that a Provisional
Government for Ulster was mOoted
some months ago and according to the
Daily Mail a constitution for this prov
ince under the scheme has already
been drafted. The paper adds:
whenever the appointed day ar
rives this provisional Government viii
be brought into existence. Everything
by that time will be found to be in
order and it is confidently anticipated
that the new regime Will be inaugural
ed without friction in Ulster. Should
any attempt be made to enforce the
authority of the Dublin Parliament the
resistance made to it will be passive
if possible, but active If need be.

try so long as it may be necessary
to convince the people OF Great Bri-
tain of the magnitude Of the issue and
to secure the return of a UnfOnfst Gov
eminent and the passage of an amend
ing bill which will remove Ulster from
control of an Irish Parliament"
i The paper says that it is not con
tempIated that the people Of Ulster
will be asked to stand up against the
British army, at all events not for
long. The sacrifice Of some lives may
be necessary, as Bonar Law said. %

Ionged war enters into the ca1cr11a.-

themselves from control Of the Ma
tionalists, but they believe that that
will not be long.

ROOUOIS INDIANS
CELEBRATE NEW YEAR
WITH ANCIENT RITES

Rites and ceremonies that have re-
NAMED unchanged through the CEN
turtles will mark the celebration of
New Year by the Iroquois Indians of
New York state, Wisconsin, Ontario
and Oklahoma. The quaint obserV-
ances will have their elimination with
the rising of the first sun of the moon,
Mis- ko-wuk-ni, which to the aborigines
means the dawning of the 46Sd year
of the Iroquois Confederation. In
the midst of the civilization of the
Empire State and Ontario, in com
munities near great cities, the des-
cendants of the original Americans
have chung to their old customs and
religions, and remain as corporate
nations. In vain the pa1efaces have
sought to drive them toward the land
of the setting sun. Those virile peo-
pies, possessed of racial vitality al
most without parallel, have withstood
all the powerful influences brought to
bear against them, and only a few
have been induced to make new homes
in Oklahoma Except for business
purposes the Iroquois tribes have not
even adopted the modern calendar,
but continue to observe New Years
Day according I'd the system in vogue
among them for four or five centur-
les.
The Iroquois Confederation was or
iginal1y composed of the Mohawks,
oneidas, Onondagas, Senecas and
Cayugas, known as the Five Nations.
Two centuries ago they were Joined
by the Florida Tuscaroras, and the
union was known as the Six Nations.
When the white men first began the
settlement of America, these tribes
occupied central and western New
York State, the larger part of the ba-
sin of the Great Lakes, and the up
per valley of the st. Lawrence. New
er friendly to the French, they be-
came strong allies of the English.
Several times defeated in battle, the
Iroquois made a, treaty with the Unit
ed States in 1884, when a majority
of them crossed the lakes into Onta-
rio In the last war between the
United States and England. which
was being waged a century ago, the
against itself, a part of the Indians
fighting under the Stars and Stripes,
and a larger part bearing British
arms. OF the various Iroquois tribes
the Senecas have been the most faith
full to ancient traditions, and it is on
their reserves that the Iroquois New
Year will be best observed.
The cerem onies begin at sunrise, |
when a company of Buffalo. Heads
go about awakening the people by
chanting a song which recttes that
the old year is gone and a new one
commenced. The announcers light
the fire of the new year, and receive
in payment a. pouch of Indian tobac-
co, the giyer saying of the weed that
cit Isobers the thoughts and clears |
the mind" It is very strong tobac-

A PROMISING INDUSTRY.
The Question of Seed Raising is Being
Looked into Very Carefully.

The seed proposition is one that is Just
now interesting our settlers to great
extent, as the more they investigate the
matter the more convinced are they that

On last Saturday William Wagner OF

men a number Of times at st. Anthony
with view OF interesting them in plac-
ing "A portion OF their seed pea contracts
on the North Side Tract Both OF them
expressed the opinion that the peas cosld
be grown to advantage here but the lin
tied demand for peas for seed would moi
permit any more acreage than had al
ready been contracted for in Idaho
Mr.. Hopkins house however still ha,
an acreage OF early garden beans to con
tract for seed and he was very favorablS
inclined toward placing small acrcag,
on the tract this season with a view .
considerable acreage another year il TN
crop proves satisfactory.
Mr.. Hopkins also expressed the view
that the North Side Tract was probabl,
better adapted for the growing Of Sec
beans than peas and the tact that tn
beans cannot be grown at higher alti
tude he thought might possibly result il
the North Side Tract being able to en-
gage extensively in the growing OF bean

with the home Office and some defnit
word may he expected within ten days

determination OF Rabbits by Poison.

Mr.. J.. +. Wyman, special agent OF
the Government Biological Survey, who
is demonstrating the method adopted by
[ lac government in externinating rabbits
10y poison, was in town Monday and on
Tuesday morning, in the presence OF a
number oi the ranchers, explained his
method, and instructed his audience on
the proper manner OF mixing this poison.
The government has devoted consider
able time to determine the best manner
OF discriminating these pests, have tried
oculation and other methods, but have
found the poison plan the most practical.
Mr. Nyinan was surprised to learn OF
the large number that had been killed
here during the winter, and was eager
to obtain some OF the photographs OF the
drives which the government desired for
their records.
He deplored the fact that he was not
on the ground sooner, but for the bene-
lit OF our settlers another winter, he
kindly gave us the following formula for
the USE OF strychnine against rabbits and
ground squirrels, which it is well for our
readers to cut ont and preserve for
another season.
For rabbits

Chop hay into pinch lengths or less.
Moisten thoroughly with , to gallons
water, turning constantly with fork.
Dissolve strychnine in about - gal
Ions hot water; add saccharine Sprinkle
this on hay, mixing constantly with fork
until every part is equally wet with the

Distribute this mixture in handfuls
where rabbits are most numerous, but
where stock cannot reach it,
For Ground Squirrels:
