Indians Will Construct
Large Athletic Stadium

Contributions amounting to $4,000
have been made by American Indians
toward the construction of an immense
athletic stadium at Haskell institute,
an Indian government school at Law
renee, Kansas.
The proposed structure, which, when
completed, is expected to cost approx
mately $125,0O0, will be built exclu-
sively from subscriptions by Indians.
Already tribes from all parts of the
West and from many of the reserva-
tiOns have contributed. This is the
first time that the Indians have Joined
in an enterprise of this character.
Haskell institute is one of the larg-
est Indian schools operated by the gov
ernment. 1t is called the Carlisle" of
the West and has an enrolment of 900
Indian students. The campaign to
erect stadium was started last fall
through the alumni of Haskell, meet
ing with hearty response from the
Indians. Subscriptions have been
pouring in ever since
The new stadium will seat 10000 per-
sons. 1t will probably embody an
architecture illustrative of Indian art
and will be an ideal outdoor theater.
1t will contain quaryer-mile track,
baseball diamond. and football field,
and facilities for field meets, including
tennis and Fairgrounds.
Not only the building but the
tute, are to be purchased out of the
$125.000 fund raised exclusively among
the Indians.

HUDSON BAY RAILWAY MAY

Winnipeg, Man, July Solicitation
rusting in idleness eight years. the
tracks of the Hudson Bay Railway
stretching through 25 miles of rich
hunting and fishing country from
The Pas. Manitoba. northeast to ket-
tie Rapids, will at last be utilized if
unique proposal of Z. NJ. Haultain,
railway construction engineer of
Winnipeg, is accepted by railway au-
thorities..
Construction work on the Hudson
Rav Railway was discounted in 1917,
after it had been completed to within
100 miles of Hudson Bay. The object
of the project was to give the Man
itoba wheat fields short egress to salt
water. Work ceased when authorities
questioned advisability Of completing
the railway, because Of the short
navigable season on Hudson Bay
some years being of only ten weeks
duration.
Haultain proposes that flanges be
provided by the railway authorities,
which could be fitted to automobile
wheels, thus opening that otherwise
inaccessible region to hunters, fisher
men and tourists. The railway could
be placarded for movement of cars
in one direction on odd days of the
month, and the opposite on even days.
A light derailing shoe would be car
ried to provide for emergencies.
