The Indians naturally take to the
outdoor occupation. They are
sheepmen and cattlemen, lumber
men, fishermen, trappers, hunters
and farmers. They now cultivate
more than 100000 acres of land,
and 10000 of them have their in
dividual land holdings. Some of
them are extensive farmers and
some are intensive. Some succeed
in the humid regions, some succeed
at dry farming and others are irri-
gationists. They own about 250,OOO
horses, mules and burros, about an
equal number Of cattle and 100000
sheep and goats. The total value of
their livestock is $4S,000,0O0, an
increase Of skiold in twenty years.

Thousands in School

AS to the present-day educational,
social and domestic condition of the
Indians, it appears from Commis-
sioner Sells's report that 81 900 cut
of $4,000 eligible children are in
school; that 5000 out of $4,000
families live in houses; that there
are only 236 polygamous marriages;
that 10000 Indians are churchgo-
ing; that 10000 speak English
that $1,000 are literate in English;
that 191, 900 wear citizens clothing;
that 10000 are citizens, and that
$4,000 are voters.
Altogether, it appears that "the
noblest savage" Of them all has sue
cessfully won through from say
agery to civilization, and that we
shall have the Indian with US for all
time unless with full independence
and citizenship he should mingle his
blood in the great stream of that OF
