PUT POOR LO IN A SHOWCASE
Heye Foundation, New York In
stitution for Relics Of Red Men.

There are still, as we all know. quite
lot of Indians left In America, but
many tribes are extinct, and many 9th
ers have imbibed enough civilization
to change them completely, Niksah
writes. The Indian as he was before
he met the white man is practically
thing of the past, and this fact is sig
nifed by the completion I'm New York
of n splendid museum building 10
house his remains.
Museum of the American Indian,
iIcyc Foundation, is the full name OF
this institution, which is moving into
its palatial headquarters near Broad
way and One Hundred and Fifty fifth
street. The Heye foundation has been
in existence for some years and has
had number of ethnolOgists and
archeologists in the field. Its method
has been to obtain collection first and
then erect n building. The exhibit,
which Is now placed in its new home
is probably the greatest collection of
relics of the American Indian.
Not only North America, but Cen

Indies are included in the studies con

Will attract an unusual amount Of at

New Russian Railroad Lines.
From the Youths Companion


In spite of, and even because of, the
war, the Russian government is push
ing the construction of new railroad
lines that are likely to be of strategic
Or commercial Importance to the en-
pire. The Altai railroad, which will
serve the need of the richest agricul-
tural and mineral region of Siberia, is
now complete and open0for traffic. II
is about 500 miles long INC connects
N~ikolaevSk, on the trans-Siberian rail
road, with Semipalatinsk, in the
Steppes provinces, passing through
Barnaul, in the Tomsk government OF
Siberia. The Altai region has deposits
of gold, silver, lead, zinc II copper
that were worked in the Eighteenth
and Nineteenth centuries, but were
abandoned for lack of transportation
facilities and for other reasons. Since
then Russia has obtained those miner
ais from abroad, chiefly from her oblig-
ing neighbor, Germany. The Altai re-
glon also contains an exceptionally rich
coal basin. which covers an area OF
about 5000 square miles. The new rail-
o will revive the neglected mining
Industries and deliver coal and coke in
the Ural region. which needs them BAD
ly. 1t is possible, too, that the Russian.
government will soon build a foundry
to supply metal for the projected South
Siberian TRUNK line that is to penetrate
the Kirghliz steppes, a region of ecep-
tional mineral wealth.

TRY TO RE-ESTABLlSh
RIVER NAVIGATION

st. Louis, Mo.-Attempts to revive
freight and passenger traffic on the
Mississippi river between st. Louis
and New Orleans are being made by
two companies. one a freight, the other
q passenger carrier.
The freight company's barge has a
capacity of l.40O tons, a complete re-
f~rigerating plant, is equipped with q
wireless outfit and is propelled by -four
Diesel engines. The company has un-
der construction two additional barges
or this type and expects to have them
In service about the middle of May.
According to its general
this company is operated under the
express SYSTEM" that is it delivers
shipments right to the door, and as
sumes full responsibility until deliv-
cries are made. All shipments are
covered fully by insurance.
The traffic manager of the second
company says shippers were somewhat
skeptical as to the success Of plans for
the revival of the st. Louis-New Or
leans traffic because several attempts
in that direction have failed. Despite
this condition the first trip showed a
clear profit.
We do not expect to be swamped
with shipments Immediately" he said,
but as soon as proper terminal facil-
tiles are provided to allow us to get
freight to h river with a minimum
amount Of switching, n cooperation
between shippers and carriers is estab-
hshed a steady stream of traffic is as
sured.
If conditions warrant it, he added,
other steamers will be put in operation.
Men who have made a study of river
problems say that the most important
thing to be done if river navigation is
revived on a large scale is to build
adequate docks, with rapid loading and
unloading facilities.
st. Louis has appropriated 5000. 900
Tor such a dock; and New Orleans has
elaborate docking facilities. In most
own between st. Louis and New Or
leans, however, little in his direction
actually has been done. but public in
terest in the topic Pas been aroused.
The old time river packets that now
run up and down the Mississippi river
are forced at most points to load and
unload with the methods in use in
antebellum days. Negro deck hands
carry the cargo on and off the boat. a
package at a time, and the fuel coal is
taken on boa in wheelbarrows.
h system of loading freight is ex-
penslve, and as a result a large part
OF the freight carried by the river pack
cts is for towns that have inadequate
railway facilities.
For several years the Missouri river
has been n~avigated as far as Kansas
City. A Kansas City boat and barge
line maintains regular service in the
open season between Kansas City and
st. Louis and Kansas City has a large,
mechanically equipped dock.
While river navigation is not any
thing like it was many years ago, it is
by no means extinct. Regular trips are
made between ST. Louis and ST. Paul;
between st. Louis and Tennessee river
points; up the Illinois river to PEORIA;
and south to Cairo and Memphis. This
is i'm addition to the st. Louis-New Or
leans service, which was resumed last
summer
