M. ID. Crockett, DR.. Felix j.
Scheffler, Thos. Osman and the
Standard man took an auto spin
last Friday out through a portion
of Grant township, where some
magnificent crops were seen, es-
pecially in the German settle
ment along the road past the
church where Rev. G.. Steven is
pastor. Coming to a ford in the
little Minnesota river Mr.. Os-
man made the run on high speed
with no harm done to anyone.
After circling considerable terri
tory run was made to the In
dian School at Agency.
Supt. Il. D. Mossman met the
visitors and conducted them over
the grounds and through the
buildings. Although school is
not now in session, there were
things of interest to be shown.
Some fine decorative work on the
walls of some of the rooms has
been done during vacation by
Samuel Crawford, a young In
dian who is quite talented with
the brush. One of the pictures
is the reproduction of a dream
experienced by this young
artist.
In the kitchen. large new
range, perhaps ten feet long,
was shown. This will soon be
added to the cooking equipment
of the place. For remember
that it takes some stove to do the
cooking for 175 growing boys
and girls and their fifteen OF
more teachers and other EN-
ployes about the institution. A
large piece of machinery, yet
unlocked, was pointed out as a
dishwashing machine. Hereto
fore this work has been done by
the children, with the aid of a
hot water sprayer invented by
Mr.. Mossman. In the cook
room large mixing machine fol
making bread will soon be in
stalled, which will be great aid
in that work.
The laundry is supplied with q
washing machine of ample pro
portions, a machine for drying
the clothes, which revolves very
rapidly, something along the
order of a cream separator: and
a drying room, kept hot by
scores of pipe. A mangle fol
ironing the clothes will soon be

Interesting Letter

A few days ago Miss Freeman
received an interesting letter
from Mrs. Letfingwell, from
which the following is an extract:
Yesterday we wentinto Mother
Eddy's Christian Science Church
in Boston. 1t is simply grand,
all white marble, with passages
of Scripture cut in the marble.
The building seats five thousand
people and the church was filed.
The ten thousand dollar pipe or
gan was grand, as were also the
chimes. In the afternoon we
crossed the harbor, and took the
subway out to Franklin Park, a
tract of six hundred and twenty
acres donated to the cityof Boston
by Benjamin Franklin, with the
stipulation that no portion of the
land shouldever bedisposed of in
any way. We saw all kinds of
birds there. 1t was beautiful
car ride. Saturday we went to
Salem and went into the house
where they hung and burned the
witches. We saw also "The House
of Seven Cables, the house that
Lafayette danced in, the house
where President Monroe was en-
tertained, the house where Haw
thorne was born, and the house
where he started to write The
Scarlet Letter." This house is
now being used asacustom house.
From Salem we went on to Mar
blehead. 1t was quitea sight for
me to see all those quaint old
buildings built in colonial style.
We saw building of 1880, where
the pirates held forth. Marble
head was we'll named, for the har
Dor is filled with rocks. We are
going this week to Bass Point
for a fish dinner, and to Plymouth
to see the old rock of our fore
fathers. The fourth of August
we go to New Hampshire, to the
camp ON Lake Winnepesaul1ee
where my daughter and my granC
children go for their vacation
every summer. 1t would take
me week to write about all the
places of interest [ have seen, and
r [ haven't time now on account O1
going to others. Remember Inc
J to any who may inquire.

May McGee. the 10 year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Jas.
McGee, broke her right arm at
the elbow joint last Sunday af-
ternoon. She was visiting at the
Geo. Walker home in Ellington,
and her broken arm was the re-
suit Of falling from a table upon
which sne was playing with 9TH
er children. A telephone mes
sage was sent to this city and
DR.. Scheffler was hurried out
there. The arm was fixed up and
May was brought home by auto.
The break is a bad one but it is
hoped that the arm will come
out all right.

rooms to offer.

STATE NEWS ITEMS

Alexandria clam diggers. who
for some weeks have been oper-
ating along the streams of that
vicinity, have just shipped to
eastern button factories an ag-
gregate of so tons of clam shells,
for which they received $50 a
ton at the factory. In addition
to the money derived from the
sale of the shells they also profit
ed greatly from pearls which
they found in some of the shells.

The Commercial club of Aber-

of money which should not be
diverted from legitimate busi-
ness channels.
What was supposed to be the
first application in the state for
a mothers pension was made
this week to Judge r. ID. Walker
There are doubtless many of oul
readers who do not know that
such a law is now in force. but
such is the case. A mother who
is worthy of aid may receive ST.

added, which will save much
hand labor.
The sewing room was visited;
but most of the work of the girls
was locked up and could not be
seen. That which was seen bore
evidence of the excellence of
what is being done in this de-
partment. In the carpenter
shop some of the manual train
ing work was shown. The head
carpenter is an Indian, who also
has charge of the manual train
ing work, in which. evening les
sons only are given. In Sep
tember the school will give it's
annual fair, at which time the
public will have an opportunity
to see the work from these two
departments. among other things.
1t was with considerable pride
that Mr.. Mossman exhibited a
drove of tiMe hogs, all thorough
bred animals. Fourteen milch
COWS are also kept on the place.
While little time was devoted to
the farm by. the visitors, a fine
four acre field of potatoes, with
out weed visible, was noticed.
This is also one of Mr.. Moss.
mans pets.
The institution has a fine water
and sewer system and is we'll
lighted from a gas plant on the
place, located in frost-proof
subterranean room.
A few months ago Mr.. Moss.
man had better place under con-
sideration, which resulted in his
getting a 5000 raise in salary, his
pay now being $14OOa year. Be
sides taking live interest in the
educational development of the
pupils under his care, Mr.. Moss
man is extremely solicitous of
their moral welfare. He has much
to overcome in this direction, and
hopes for the cooperation of the
best people of Sisseton and Rob-
erts county in his efforts along
this line. A young Indian has
recently been arrested for illegal
cohabitation with one of the girls
of the school; and Mr.. Mossman
feels that his conviction at the
next term of court will be a sal
utary example to others.
Time was so limited that it was
impossible to make call at the
Agency. This will have to be
done at some future time.

Dillingham's Proposal

The proposed amendment to the tariff
BILL made by Senator Dillingham; of this
state, to expend the proceeds of the in
come tax for road improvement, is a
sensible one. 1t should meet with the
approval of people regardless of their
partisanship. Certainly, no better use
could be devised for the money to b ,
raised n this way. The senator proposes
that each state appropriate an amount
equal to its share of the Income tax. This
is practically carrying into the federal
road-making department the principle
established in Vermont of state aid to
the towns in the building of highways.
However, the Democratic congressm en-
who have been looking to the income tax
for the proceeds with which to meet
deficiencies in government income, con-
sequent upon the reduction of tariffs,
will probably find the plan objec ionable.
