per skin, of which more than half of the
skins, selling for $500 or more came from
fox farms. At the last sale at Lampson's the
average price of wild silver fox skins was
5000, and that for the skins from the best
ranches $1,000.

white fox are now being raised in captivity.
Upon the farms are also martens, mink and

of time\when the fur farming industry will
have its place among the textile and great

Commissioner Sells Tells Of the Marked
Progress Made by Indians
on Reservations

Indians cut and stacked 5000 tons OF
hay to winter their herd. and last
winter cut and stacked nearly 1000
tons. The winter loss during each of
these two years has been about two
per cent, which is considerably less
than the loss usually sustained by
white cattlemen during the winters of
the northwest.
Heretofore, our conduct of the stock
business among the Indians has con-
sisted largely OF upbreeding and the
development Of herds. Everywhere the
Indians have taken great interest in
their stock, both as to tribal herds
and those individually owned, and the
increase in, number and value has been
such as to insure business mans
profit. We have sold wool and NUT
ton and some horses, but we are only
now commencing to widely and sub
stantially realize on their cattle.
These sales from the Crow reserva-
ton are the beginning Of large sales
from this and other reservations. 1t
is a demonstration of the wisdom Of
the policy of utilizing the grazing
lands of the reservations for the bene-
fit of the Indians and positive indi-
cation of the responsive disposition Of
the Indians when given opportunity
with sympathetic encouragement to do
things for themselves.
About three and a half years ago
inaugurated, and have since agrees
sively pursued, "a policy of farm and
stocl1raising betterments among the
Indians, the immediate purpose being
to make them producers rather than
altogether consumers. Shortly after
becoming commissioner of Indian af-
fairs discovered that the agricultural
and grazing lands on Indian reserva-
lions we're not being utilized as they
should have been; that the large part
of their grazing lands was leased to

Washington, Nov. 4.-Cato Sells,
commissioner of Indian affairs, has
just returned from Chicago where he
supervised the sale of "a carloads out
of a shipment of 81 cars of Indian
cattle from the Crow reservation, Mon
tana. seventeen carloads having been
sold at Omaha the day before. The
commissioner spent most of day on
horseback riding among the cattle In
the pens of the stockyards discussing
the cattle and prices with his COM
mission man and the buyers.
Commissioner Sells is not only a
lawyer and banker. but is also real
thing farmer and stockman. He
knows the business from every angle.
In conversation today with the
newspaper men Commissioners Sells
said
Two years ago last June. with
funds derived from the sale of part
of their lands we purchased for the
Crow Indians 1000 two-year- old heif-
ers, 1000 yearling steers and $50 bulls.
Since then these cattle have been
handled under my direction and the
immediate supervision of Reservation
Superintendent Estep and Superin-
tendent of Livestock Willcutt, assisted
by Indian stockmen and lineriders.
Two hundred and fifty six head have
heretofore been sold, but this sale was
the first big shipment, when 81 car
loads of Crow Indian cattle reached
the Omaha and, Chicago stockyards
and sold for $97,9s3.42. All Of these
steers were range-raised and grass
fed. not a pound of corn or feed other
than grass and hay ever having been
fed to any of them. Including the In
crease of the herd the profit of the
Crow Indians on the original purch-
ase in u months, after paying all ex-
penses has been $350,0oo. The first year
after the purchase of these cattle, the

Gently Frank Reed, Crow Indian, sold
range-raised and grass fed steer for
$1,000 per hundred. This is said to be
the highest price ever paid for a grass
fed steer on the Chicago market.
These conditions and achievements
now exists in varying degree on all In
dian reservations and among numer-
Gus individual Indians.
There is every probability that the
Indian will soon become the cattle king
of America. a great factor in the
worlds history wool market and
large producer of horses.
If the Indians continue to progress
as rapidly for the next ten years as
they have for the past three years,
they will be practically self supporting,
with corresponding reduction In ap-
preparations.
