UNCLE SAM CLEARING
PANAMA CANAL ZONE
Would Have Only Citizens of United
States In Locality.

Uncle San is playing after a fashion
in the Panama canal zone the part that
the English played more than a cen
fury and a half ago in moving the AGA
dams bodily from an old to a new
home. Twentieth century methods and
American liberality are important ele-
ments In the present situation, how.
ever. so that satisfaction reigns in
stead Of the heartburnings and suffer
ings that marked the enforced migra
ton Of Evangeline and her people.
The United States government de.
sires to clear the canal zone of all ma
tives, and of practically all other per
o II for that matter not employees of
the canal or members Of the United
States army. This is desirable for both
administrative and military reasons.
The matter Of buying the little plots
of land of individual farmers and In
ducing them TO leave the zone has been
simple enough, but the villages have
presented more serious problems. The
plan has been adopted of arranging
with the Panama government for sites
outside the strip of territory belonging
to the United States. of paying the vii
layers literally for their holdings and
them moving them. bag and baggage.
to the new location.
The latest procedure of this sort Is go
ing on now I'm the transfer of the half
n hundred or more souls of the village
Of Chagres, near the mouth of the river
of that name. to a new town site eight
miles outside OF the zone al the mouth
of another stream. The American au-
thorlties have even built temporary
homes for the exiles TO occupy during
the period required to invest some of
the money they have received In the
erection of permanent dwellings. The
villagers and their effects are loaded
on barges and towed TO their new
homes. When the last of them are
gone the old village will be RACED.

HEART BALM
INDIAN MAIDEN AT SISSETON
SHOWS SHE IL BECOMING
CIVILIZED by STARTING
SUIT AGAINST LOVER.

Sisseton, June 20.-The readiness
with which Indians are adapting
themselves to the white mans ways
in South Dakota was demonstrated
this week in a decision in a lawsuit
in the Roberts county state circuit
court at Sisseton. wherein the jury
awarded Miss Agnes Bear. a dusky
Indian maiden, the sum OF $500
for damage in a breach of promise
suit brought by her against Smiley
Finley, also an Indian.
Agnes convinced the jury that
Smiley had won her heart and had
promised to marry her, and then had
failed to keep his promise. and in
the judgment of the jury she was
entitled to damage for Smiley's fail
ure to carry out the contract.
1t is believed this is the first in
stance in South Dakota where a
breach of promise suit has been tried
with the plaintiff and defendant both
Indians.

INDIANS TO TRY indian
INDIAN COUNCIL MAY TRY MUTE
ACCUSED OF MURDER.

Mclaughlin, June 2G.-At the
next meeting of the Sioux tribal
council of the Standing Rock reser-
vation. with Chief John Grass pre-
siding, may be held the trial of Per
cupine Tail. an Indian charged with
the murder, a few months ago, of
his mother. A recent decision of the
United States court that an o~ffense
committed by a reservation Indian
against another reservation Indian
must be tried by the tribal council,
rather than in federal court, Is said
by local people to apply TO the case
of Porcupine Tail. If this is the
case, some p%aleface lawyer has been
relieved of one of the most arduous
tasks he would ever encounter in his
professional career, as attorney for
the defense. For Porcupine Tall IS
q deaf mute, of a very low grade of
mentality. and it Is stated that if he
is placed on trial in a white mans
court. the proceedings would have TO
be translated from English to the
Sioux tongue, and then retranslated
to Porcupine Tail in the sign Ian
guage, which he understands but
crudely. The killing of the Indians
mother took place last fall. in a fight
i'm which another Indian was also in
yolyed.

MINING.

One OF the many industries which
have felt the stimulation of war condi-
lions I'm the United States, 1t has been
found by the geological survey in its
stock taking of mineral developments,
is graphite mining. While graphite IS
not used itself as an ingredient In war
munitions, 1t Is Of great Importance In
the manufacture of many munitions
and devices of war, since the melting of
metals for fine work Is carried on al
nos exclusively In graphite crucibles.
The unprecedented demand for the
substance has brought about the open
ing of mines In new locations In Ala
bama and In virgin graphite territory
In central Texas. After a study Of the
situation the survey found that the old
established mines in a number of the
eastern states increased their output
nearly 100000 pounds In 1915. The
opening Of the new sources Of the min
eral viii bring about an even more
marked increase I'm the production the
present year. the government biologists
predict.

STORM DAMAGE
Destructive Hail Storm Visits Region
OF Bruce.

Bruce, June 20.-Bruce was visit
ed by a severe hail storm, the worst
in years. which did a great deal of
damage to crops, gardens and win
dows. In Bruce the hailstones We're
as large as hens eggs, and not a
flower or a vegetable was left when
the storm had passed and countless
window lights were broken. In Pres
ton township, crops were ruined and
even wire fences were broken down
by the hail. Farther east conditions
are nearly as bad, but Immediately
east and southwest of Bruce the hail
al not so heavy, though consider
able damage was done. In some
places hail lay on the ground several
inches deep. Some small buildings
were blown over during the storm.
Pioneers of this section of the state
say the storm was the most sudden
and most destructive hailstorm with
in their recollection. The total dam
age will amount to many thousands
of dollars.

HISTORICAL VALUE
WISCONSIN HISTORICAL SOCIETY
DISCOVERS JOURNAL BEAR
ING UPON MISSOURI RIVER
EXPLORATIONS.

Pierre. June 20.-The Wisconsin
Historical society has unearthed IN
other journal OF explorations of the
Missouri river through the Dakota
country prior to Lewis and Clark. In
1887 James Mckay came to the Mis-
souri, from Canada by way of Winni-
peg to the Mandans and thence went
down and settled near st. Louis. In
1897 he was entrusted by Gov. Tru-
deau with the commercial interests
of the Spaniards on the upper Mis-
souri,. He built a post at the Oma-
has near Sioux City and from there
dispatched John Evans TO the tribes
up river. When Evans reached White
river, just below Chamberlain, he
was met by a big band "of the Sioux
of the Big Bend" and pursued a
long distance down the river as he
scurried back to the Omaha post for
protection. The next year. 1898, he
bribed his way through the Sioux
country as far as the Arickar's at the
mouth of Grand river, who deter
minedly refused to allow him to go
on TO the Mandans. They seized his
goods and required him to stay and
trade with them. which under the
circumstances he did. After his
goods were gone they allowed him to
go up to visit the Mandans. There
Is not much of detail in the journal.

remote period of which little has pre-

ALASKA GLACIER RETREATS.

Fifteen years ago a member of the
United States geological survey map
ped the front OF the Barry glacier,
which Is In the northwest corner of
Prince William sound, Alaska. In 1910
1t was found that the front of the gla-
cier had gone back about three miles
from the position 1t occupied In 1899.
b. l.. Johnson Of the geological sur
yey examined the front of the Barry
glacier In the fall of 1914 and deter
mined that the total retreat of the gla-
cier between 1910 and 1914 appeared to
be about $500 feet, a retreat OF four
and one-half miles, in fifteen years. A
short account of the retreat of this
glacier by Mr.. Johnson has just been
published as professional paper 9S c..
1t includes a sketch map showing the
position Of the glacier front in seven
