The Red Man in
The United States.

There has just been published
under the above title the results
of q survey of the social, economic
and religious life of the American
Indian. The survey was begun in
1919 as one of the projects of the
Interchurch World Movement,
was taken over in 1921 by the
Committee on Social and Religious
Surveys and completed by that
committee under the direction of
the Rev. G. E. E. Lindquist in
1922.
The data gathered is presented
in volume of 444 pages con-
veniently divided into two parts.
Part one gives something of an
chronological and historic back
ground in six chapters: Red
Man and White, "Adminjstration
and Education, 1.-THE Red Man
and The Great Spirit'", The In
fluence of Christian Missions {,
''Vices and Frailties" and Indian
Leadership Past and Present. -
O Part two presents in geographical
arrangement the results of the
survey.
There is a foreword by Charles
II. Burke, the present Commis
sioner of Indian Affairs. Six ap.
pendices contain brief summaries
of data pertaining to reservations,
schools and missions, information
regarding organizations working
for Indian welfare, and an article
by E. B. Merritt, Assistant Com.
missioner of Indian Affairs, on the
Legal Status of the Indian" IL
Iustratiors and maps and biblio.
graphy add to the value of the
book.
The fact that the survey extend
ed over three years doubtless is
responsible for any discrepancies
between the data given in the
book relating to any one particular
mission and the statements made
elsewhere today by the organiza-
tion carrying on such work. In
some instances mission buildings
may have been enlarged and the
number of workers increased since
the date when the survey of, that
particular mission was made. Such
an instance is that of the Rocky
Boy Mission of The National In.
dian Association. where one ad-
ditional worker has been placed
and the sum of $3,140 expended
in completing and enlarging the
mission buildings since the survey,
bringing the cost of buildings up
to SIS, ,14O and not So, 900 as appears
In the book.
''The Red Man in the United
States" meets need long felt by
those engaged in religious and
other welfare work for the Indian
people by furnishing in one vol
une data concerning the present
religious, social and economical
: conditions of the red race. For
such workers the book is invalu.
able. It should have a wide sale
also among all who, desire to know
the facts regarding the every day
life of our native Americans.

the George Fl. Doran Company,

Indian Fish.

The Red Lake Chippewa Indians
|of Minnesota have reaped a harvest
of revenue by the sale of fish to
the State of Minnesota according
to information given out by the
Indian Office of the Interior De.
partment. A total of over $780,
900 was paid to the Indians during
the past two years for fish taken,
from Red Lake located on the Red
Lake Chippewa Indian reservation,
through an agreement made with
the Fish Commissioner of the
State. During the year 1922, the
Indians took 9OO,932 pounds cf
fish from their lake and sold them
to the state for $4S,579 and the
state paid royalties amounting to
$3.50 on fish taken from the lake
by its own nets, giving the Chip
pewas of this reservation fishing
receipts totaling $57, ,36O.-Ex.
Chippewa fish seems to be a
better paying proposition than
''ceded lands and pine timber"
We refer to past sales of the Chip.
pewa estate by the Bureau of In
dian Affairs as compared with the
fish market. The Chippewa estate
has practically all been dissipated,
but their is apparently no limit to
the fish supply. -,,-.-~.4.-,,,.,-. i
The State of Minnesota deserves
all the credit for the worthy en-
terprise and undertaking whereby
the Indians are enabled to earn q
decent living through an occupa
tion that has been theirs from time
ilnmemorial. If more energy and
efficiency were manifested by In
dian Bureau officials in promoting
like enterprises for "relief and
civilization" instead of dissipating
thousands of dollars of Chippewa
money every year to pay the
salaries of horde Of incompetent
barnacles and for administration
that does nobody any good, the
Chippewa question would soon
solve itself. 4
A medium sized saw mill in the
Forestry Reserve uader competent
management would give many In
dians work the year around for
some time. 1t would also give
the Indians a square deal and an
equitable price for their timber,
The Indians have never been in
terested in a forestry reserve, and
if there are any reserves to be
established within their country
they want the value of their
property. The Chippewa people
cannot afford to give away any
more OF their property. .

hard to say what the outcome will
be.
Over 100000 was appropriated
for relief and civilization" for
the year ending June 80, 1923. 1t
would be interesting to know what
portion of this huge sum went
directly to the Chippewas.

NEW WORK COTTON

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Yesterdays big advances were followed by reactions in ure of weather conditions to develop quite unfavorably as expected and heavy realizing. December contracts sold off to 2S.8Sc or 46 points from yesterdays clos
 ing quotation, but recovered about 20 points of the loss, closing al 29.08c. The general market closed steady at net de- cline of ' to IS points by the relatively easy cables and scattered liquid tion. There were a good many overnight buying orders around the ring, which caused ral- level, but the advances met increased realizing and local selling for reaction. The latter was promoted by a belief that the gulf storm had lost force after pass ing inland over Louisiana.
 Further rains were reported in the west, the two previous days and the disposition to sell off yesterdays big advanve was probably increased by indications that the strength for raw material had failed to cotton goods There was enough cover ing and commission house or trade buying to cause frequent rallies during the early afternoon, but in a general way the de- cline continued until October sold at 29.bOc and January at 2S.S2c. or 45 to 4S points their records of the previous day Closing prices showed rallies of 20 to 25 points from the lowest on covering. There was no improvement in the character of pri- vate crop advices. which emphasized dam age to grades and open cotton in the western belt. and the late rally here may have been promoted by the large exports of the day Private cables said the de- cline in Liverpool due to heavy real izing and poor demand.

and contractors as equal to all other aggregates and superior to many, Laboratory and field tests show slag concrete to be stronger in compress sion and tensile strength than other types of concrete.
 The Birmingham Slag company, under it's present management, which dates from February 1, 1916, operates at Ensley and Alabama City, Ala, two modern crl shing and screening plants having a combined daily capacity of 5000 tons of prop erly sized and prepared slag, which isi handled in a scientific manner from the time is leaves the blast fur mace in 8 molten state until it is loaded into cars for the commercial market,
 Smallman- Brice Construction com pany, having had previous eXperi- ence with the Birmingham Slag com pany and knowing the necessity of completing the Pizitz building on a rush schedule, placed their order for "Ensley Basic Slag" and their wis dom in doing so has been demon- strated by the fact that the job has not once been delayed for want of concrete aggregate.
 The Birmingham Slag company has unexcelled facilities for handling large, important jobs such as the Pizitz building. They are at the present time furnishing the coarse aggregate for the large Altamont apartments being constructed on Highland avenue, and recently fur nished their material on the follow ing local contracts: Seven-story ad- dition to Birmingham Ice and Cold Storage company, Woodlawn Hlgh school, Masonic temple, Birmingham Trust and Savings bank, two-story annex to Birmingham News (orig- inal building being slag concrete), Lehigh Portland Cement company s plants, Moore -Handley Hardware company's warehouse, Childrens' hos pital and City Market. Also to the following important jobs in Atlanta. Ga: Atlanta Biltmore hotel Largest hotel in southern states), M. Rich & Brothers company department store Glenn Estate office building, Persh- ing Point apartment and History annex to Ansley hotel.
 The Birmingham Slag company has shipped enormous quantities of "Ensfey Basic Slag' and Alabama City Basic Sfag" to each of the six southeastern states for use in con crete bridges, in working surfaces of all types of hard surfaced roads. Over 300 miles, of good roads are making more friends daily for "Slag- towns" scientifically prepared ideal road metal"
 "SlagTex Face Brick" "the Archi- tects Choice" is the latest, as well as most beautiful product manufac- tured from slag by this progressive company Over a half million each month this year have been produced to take care of the. demand for this beautiful building brick.

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 15.-Liquidat of long contracts was against values in the cotton market today and prices were lower from the opening. The storm which entered the belt during the night partly responsible for this, for it inter fered with communication with the in terior. Inability to call and transmit mar gins forced the liquidation of considerable cotton to all appearances. poor Liver pool and the desire of profits on the part of old longs made for a lower opening and precipitated the selling movement.
 The first decline amounted to 10 to 15 points. after which there was a rally back to within 1 to points of yesterdays close, but the market soon broke again and the decline was not checked until it amounted to AZ to 47 points, with Decem- Der off to 2S40c a pound. In the early afternoon the market was at it's lowest. The tone was steadier in the late trading because of reports that spot houses were, in some cases, trying to cancel contracts and offering all manner of induce ments to owners of contracts to switch from the high to lower grades. The close was at net losses of 27 to 39 points. with December at 2S.5 7D2S.60c.
 The decline was made in the face of great deal of wet weather In the belt. with a storm of hurricane intensity from the gulf cutting path up through the central section and threatening to sweep the eastern belt tonight By some people it was considered that the belt was under going the worst weather of the entire season.
