RECORD TIME MADE IN PASSAGE
OF INDIAN APPROPRIATION IN
LOWER HOUSE.
ELEVEN MILLIONS
Bill Carries Appropriation Of Eleven
Million Dollars for Indians, lnclud-
ing Appropriation for the Bloom
field Academy to be in Ardmore.

Washington. ID. C., Dec. 13.-Con-
gresham stephens. Carter and other
members Of the Indian Committee
broke all records yesterday, when
they succeeded in passing before the
holidays, the big Indian appropriation
bill, carrying sl1,000,00O and in six
and one-half hours actual consider
alton.
The desired adjournment on March
ith to avoid an extra session was
responsible for the haste. The Indian
bill was defeated at the short session
two years ago on account of the eff
fort to reopen the rolls and the per-
capita payment item. which is i'm
portant to Eastern Oklahoma.
Percapita payment OF 5000 to
Choctaws, Chickasaws and Seminoles.
aggregating $6,OOO,O0O is to be dis
tributed next year. Two hundred
and seventy-five thousand dollars
for the aid of Oklahoma schools.
$1S5.O00 for the administration of the
Muskogee Indian office, $4,000 for
the probate attorneys. $4,000 for
salary and expenses OF the oil and
gas inspectors and an appropriation
for Indian schools. including Bloom
field Academy at Ardmore and the
Chilocco Indian school are among
the items included in the bill.
The speech of Congressman Har-
rison of Mississippi asking an ap-
preparation for the Mississippi Choc-
taws from the federal treasury dis
closed a complete surrender OF the
fight to reopen the rolls. Since Har-
rison proposed no amendment, Con-
gressman Carter Of Oklahoma an
'nounced that none of the Oklahoma
delegation desired TO reply.
The Indian appropriation bill also
carries a provision which eliminates
the salary Of the Creek nation at
torney, II. c. Allen.
Congressman Carter secured new
section to the bill providing for an
Indian committee to investigate tho
bureau of Indian affairs and its
branches.
Congressman Carter and Campbell
both paid tribute to the worth and
service Of Chairman John II. Steph-
ems, of Texas. who retires from con-
gress at the end Of the present ses-
sion. Carter will succeed to the
chairmanship of the committee OF
the Democrats control Of the next
house and Campbell If the Republi-
cans are in control.

The Alaska Club.

Seattle, Wash, March 10, 19OS Hon William Sulzer, Washington,
 D. C.
 My Dear Mir. Sulzer l find con- siderable objection to the Wicker sham Territorial government bill on the part of Alaskans with whom have come in contact. The princi. pal objections are to the following provisions:
 "O The appointive executive council for the upper branch of the Legislature.
 "(2) The limitation of the quail flcations of members of the legisla- ture to taxpayers
 "C3) The limited number of the members of the house and the limi- tation of the legislative districts to five.
 I believe all the objections are based on right and justice. Their validity is so apparent believe, that the law would not be satisfactory at all, should the bill pass, to the people of Alaska.
 Tn the first place, there is no reason why Alaska should not have Ia full Territorial government The resources of the country. its devel- opment and production. and the in- telligence of its people entitle it to that However. if the executive de- partment, are to be retained by the Federal government at least the legislature should be the peoples. With the restrictions on the legisla- ture fixed by the Wickersham Ter ritorial government bill, there is ab- solutely no excuse for placing the legislature in the hands of the exc cutive department and if one branch

lnteresting History


 The Empire respectfully urges the reading of this bulletin. It contains a great deal of historical informa- ion. It shows that the Democrats of Alaska had been repeatedly de- manding full Territorial government for Alaska, and that the last Re publican convention in Alaska had also declared for seIfgoyernment basing its recommendation upon the famous Ordinance Of l7S7 lt con tains evidence that Judge Wicker sham on January 9. 19O1 was strong lv opposed to Territorial govern ment. and, as herein set forth, had prepared government bill which was probably the most outrageous travesty on self-goyernment ever pro- posed in an American Congress.
 Record Of sulzerites
 It also contains an argument in favor of full Territorial form of gov ernment, written January 25. 1904 addressed to Congress by a commit tee appointed October 27, 1903, by a convention then in sessoin at Ju- neau. The committee consisted of former Gov A. P. Swineford, of Ketchikan. John W. Troy, of Skag- way. Thomas A. MarQuam, of Haines, and John B. Denny of Juneau Gov. Swineford and Mir Denny are now dead. The other two members of the committee, one a Democrat and the other a Republican, are living in Alaska. and BOTH ARE SUP PORTING SENATOR SULZER, for Delegate to Congress.
 sulzer Was in Convention
 Senator Sulzer, then a young man of % years of age, was a member of the convention which appointed this committee and he then made a notable speech in favor of Terri torial form of government for Alaska and he has supported it ever since. Wlckersham Alone of the Opposition
 In fact of all thoso Alaskans who figured in any manner in connec ton with this bulletin, who arc still in Alaska. only Judge WICK ERSHAM WAS AT THAT TIME OPPOSING FULL TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENT FOR ALASKA.

flour and converted into the one most
popular feed ever devised for the rails
ing of hogs and for stock generally.
The mill is behind 200 barrels in
supplying the demand at present and
farmers often wait in rows with wag-
ons to get the product as it is finished.
Here, too, is some old-time machinery
for boiling flour, through which the
product is run after it gets through
the boilers. Ordinarily there is moth
ing to take out, but as precaution,
lest something might be wrong with
some of the modern boilers, the other
machinery is used so that nothing can
escape. There is other machinery to
take care of and get the flour out if
the product is not in proper condition
for the final boiling. On the fourth
floor are a half dozen big wheels that
look like a number of wagon wheels
with the tires off, spokes inverted
and all wrapped up. They run lit
tie, and then, as if to chastise them,
a couple of shallalahs swat them and
they stop for a moment. They are
dust and warm air extractors, which
keep the rest of the mill clean. The
products run through them, but just
how they do work is a mystery to
the uninitiated
"Here is the most difficult part OF
the whole milling business" said Mr.
Holland, as he stepped into the cupalo
where rotary machinery, in a covered
trough, was industriously pumping
wheat, into which small stream OF
water was running. The grain was
