OPENING OF INDIAN
LAND TO STARVING
CATTLE IS PROMISED
Assistant Commissioner Of In
dian Affairs Wires Local
Man That Arrangements
Can Be Made With Resi-
dent Agent.

The fact that most Arizona mining
districts are dependent upon Arizona
and New Mexico range-fed cattle for
their meat. and that as the war ad-
vances this dependence will grow, has
interested the Arizona chapter Of the
American mining congress in endeav-
ors to assist the cattlemen in serving
the thousands of head of their ami
mails now starving on the feed-de-
pleted range lands predominating in
the grazing sections
An immediate resul: has been re
ceipt from the office of Indian affairs
of the information that the govern
ment is making effort to utilize all
grazing land possible on Indian reser-
vations in order 10 assist in the na-
tional campaign of food production.
The Indian office goes further than
il ever has before in the additional
announcement that ''eattlemen who
desire to take up the question OF Sc
curing leases or permits to Craze cat
tie should confer with the superin.
tendent having jurisdiction over the
range desired who will advise them
fully as 10 the details connected with
the lease or permit.
From this il is accepted that the
government has already Instructed the
opening of Indian reservations to cat
tle,nen and has advised superinten-
dents to proceed with leases and per
mits. Concerning wells on Indian
lands, which il was suggested by the
Arizona chapter could be drilled by
the reclamation service. and with the
feed prevalent on the lands enable the
saving of some millions of dollars
worth of cattle and fee1. the Indian
office states that the reclamation
service has no funds available for
this purpose. but opens the way for
the cattlemen TO sink the wells by
suggesting that they should be able
10 raise the money 20 do the work
themselves. II is estimated that the
wells, fully equipped. would cost
about $500 each. Heretofore the rec
lamation service alone has had the
right to sink wells on Indian lands.
Under the altered attitude Of the In
dian office stockmen will through

Distinctions of rank in the army
are solely in the interest of military

time winning the state championship
at the contest held in Brookings last

This is the seventh annual contest

mortal day. About thirty children aud
young ladies were assembled there.
The young people were gathering many
cut flowers into bouquets, aud while
they worked they sang from time to

This led DIR. Smith to write tine fol
lowing beautiful lines:
@ WET in the innocence Of
- youth,
Borne Of the brave and free,
They wove fair garlands while they
sang
my country, it's Of thee"
How every bosom swelled with JOY
And thrilled with grateful pride
As fond and whispering cadence
breathes,
"Land where my fathers died"
LAIR flowers in sweet bouquets
It they tied
Breaths from the wales and
hills,
While childish voices poured the
strain,
-
II love thy rocks and %rills."
Each face grew radiant with the
thought,
"Land Of the noble free"
Each voice seemed reverent as il
trilled,
Sweet land Of liberty"
A ND bud and bloom and leaf they
n bound
And babe the living keep
Unframed and pure the cherished
graves
Where brave men calmly sleep;
And thus, while infant lips begin
To lisp Sweet freedoms song"
Manhood's deep tones from age to
age
Shall still 'the sound prolong."
HAILED the promise Of the
scene;
Gladness was in the strain;
The glorious land is safe while love
Still swells the fond refrain;
And what shall be our sure defense2
Who guards our liberty?
Not man, not arms alone we look,
"0ur fathers God, to thee"
