No Land Opening in September

Harvesting With Skids.

Andrew jackson, of Redpath
township, does not propose to
lose his standing crop on account
of the water in his fields. The
excessive raiE fall in his neighbor-
hood has softened the ground
and the bullwheel of a binder
sinks nearly to the hub and re-
fuses to bulge. A piece of bar
ley on his farm was ready to
harvest last week and it's loss
was by no means pleasing
prospect, therefore Andrew fit
ted himself out with a gasoline
engine binder, adjusted skids
under the wheels i'm a way that
would enable them to slide
smoothly over the soft surface,
hitched on eight good horses,
turned on the gas and went to
work. The scheme worked fine
and he soon had his barley in
shock. Ingenuity and deter
nination are worth a lot when a
man finds himself in tight
pinch. - Wheaton Gazette Re-

THE TRUTH
ABOUT INDIANS
Indians Not Going They re
All Coming.

Monitor, a monthly publca
tion, emphasizes its faith in the
Indians OF the future liz the fol-
lowing.
1t can hardly bepossible that
those who still persist in talking
OF the passing of the American
Indian, and who seem to ne
markably successful in getting
their articles published. take the
trouble to acquaint themselves
with the facts. The truth is, if
government reports are to be
trusted, and there is no good
reason for doubting their accu-
facy in this respect, instead of
passing, the American Indian i'm
the United States is just coming
INTO his own. or course, he is
ceasing very largely to be the
picturesque individual he was
seventy five, fifty or even twenty
five years ago. If it is the In
dian of the Wild West" type
that is ment, he assuredIy is
passing, and his passing is no
new thing to any body who knows
either the West or the Indian.
Visitors TO the trans Missouri
region, to the great Southwest or
to the grert Northwest, are prob
ably greatly surprised in these
days because they do not see
blanleted Indians around the
railroad stations or Indian vii
lagos in their trips into the in
terror. The blanketed and the
nomadic Indian are rare sights
in any part of the United States
today. Net Indians are to be
seen in plenty if one look for
them in the right places, and if
one happen to be expert in dis
cerning the Indian from people
of dark-skinned races.
Cato Sells, commissioner of
Indian affairs, comes pretty near
summing up the entire matter
when he says, as he told a repre-
sentative of the Monitor recent.
ly: This spring we have fur
nished the Indians nearly three
times as much seed as during
any previous year, and there is
every indication that they are
becoming thoroughly aroused to
their industrial opportunity.
This is true not only along farm
ING lines, but quite as much, if
not so, in stock raising.
This is ample evidence going
to show that the Indians are be-
coming very successful farmers
and stock raiSerS. But no Iimita-
tion need be placed upon the In
dianS capabilities that is not
placed upon the capabilities of
the white man. In public life
and in public Office, in the pro-
feSSlons and in the trades. La
dlanS are quite as prominent and
quite as successful as whites
today, considering them relative
ly There are many Indians now
in responsible positions in the
state and national governments.
The advancement of the Indian
in the last twenty five years has
been remarkable, and in no way
is it more promising than in the
fact that he is ready to take the
work that lies nearest him, quick
is the mastery of it's details and
ambitious to succeed in it and to
progress beyond it.
The Indian in not going: he
is coming"
