In many places these Indians have advanced in the arts of our civilIZa- tion SC as to farm as we farm. using the most improved agricultural imple- ments for that purpose, yet, in many respects, they cling to the old customs of cer-uries ago and tribal dances and tribal ceremonies are maintained with all the trappings and ornam ents of long ago. These dances are far more interesting and attractive when they depart from many of the harrow ing details which must have char acterized them in the olden days.
 Undoubtedly the Indians of the Southwest were the first apartment house builders, for as far back as the sixteenth century they lived in five story adobe houses, many of which weEe large enough to give apartments ) to the entire tribe-each family having from one to five rooms
 At Taos and Zuni, where the largest Pueblos exist, upwards of a thousand Indians reside-at Taos in two apart ments and at Zuni in one.
 In the Hopi country there are sev- era1; at Laguna there is one and at Acoma a huge Pueblo is built on the top of Q rock about four hundred feet above the Painted Desert. They are the most important of the many tribes who have these adobe apartm ent houses in Arizona and New Mexico.

They are nominally Cath olics, but they still cling to their ancient feasts and signs and our gov ernment has very wisely not in terferred with these dances on cer- tain days, which do no harm whatever anG preserve the early tradition of the tribe.
 Agricultural Fairs
 For centuries they have made pot tery and baskets. each tribe having its own special style of pottery and weaves of basketry. The men are great sheep raisers and are agricul- turists in general going out from the Pueblos in. the early morning and re turning at night. The women usually
 make the pottery and baskets besides
 keeping house and preparing food for the men, The Indian agents encour
 age all kinds of work and there is
 great rivalry among the tribes. For
 the past three or four years they have held agricultural fairs at the various Pueblos where cattle, vegetables and
 needle work, besides pottery and bas- kets, are on exhibition and prizes are
 awarded. They are generally held at
 a time of the year during which feast day occurs. This gives the In
 dians an opportunity to do some of
 their special dances and is always 1 sure to draw large crowds. The In-
 dians come for many miles in the old
 prairie schooner wagon and camp along the way spending sometimes two
 weeks in coming and going. Last
 year one was held at Laguna during
 the feast of St. Joseph and the dances
 given on the plaza were unique and kept up during the entire afternoon

COL, ME:ARS ANSWERS /.
 CITY

Col. Frederick Mears, Chairman oi he Alaskan Engineering Commission, in T letter to Mayor Chamberlin, which was read last night at the coun' cil meeting. discussed various matters regarding the municipality presented to him on his first visit to Seward af- ter coming north, about six weeks ago.
 The floating dock, as before men tioncd in the Gateway, has been set tied the commission to place a barge for small boat landings at the Seward dock which will answer the present re ouiremcntS. Free dockage will be af- forded and there will be no tariff charge for tho necessary running sup plies for the boats
 Regarding control of tho glacial stream. Col. Mears says it is believed that the problem Of the str"am through the townste of Seward !" very largely a matter for the murlcI uality to solve. The railroad can rrad.- lv accommodate their tracks or depot site near the mouth of Lowell Creek to confirm to any reasonable plan of control which the city might deter. mine. Col. Mcars cites the City of Val dez, which had similar troubles with a glacial stream, which were over come by the construction of dikc, built by the United States Engineer
 ~ Department from moneys specific ally appropriated by Congress for the purpose. It might be possible to se- cure congressional action in the case of Seward, suggests Col Mears, which could permit of work being done con fining Lowell Creek within its pres cnt channel.
 In reference to access to the water front, Col. Mears says that the Engin ger in Cha, ge at Seward is opposed t@ the extentlon of streets or the grGn-- ing of free access to the warehouses srd apptcaca srestleI leading to the dock east of the rne marked by Fou $h avenue but ,nerc is nc objection, hoy ever, to the free usc of the waterfront lying west If fnc.th Avenue.
 RegarlmC reduction of freiSh; rates and wharfage charges, Col. MearS says he regrets that he will bc unable to meet the request. "The rates in force compare very favorably with similar charges made by other rail roads operating in Alaska" says Col. Mears, "and to the charges made along the Pacific Coast, when we takr into consideration the small amount of commercial business offered at th" Seward dock or along the line of the railroad. The present revenue derive,l from these sources is not sufficient to pay operating expenses, much less maintenance charge, and in view of the present tendency to raise the ocean freight rates and our other expenses, it would seem to be an inopportune time to reduce the rates at the Sew ard dock or along the line of the Alas kan Railroad"
