THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN. 1904 APPROPRIATION. The Indian Office is not asking for a large increase in the appropriation for the Chemawa Indian School for the next fiscal year, the total appro priation asked being $108,850. Out of this $91,850 is needed for the sup port and education of 550 Indian pu pils and $2000 is to be diverted for the pay of the superintendent. The only new work recommended is the erection of a brick hospital to cost $10,000. The present hospital has been found inadequate, and, being an old building, lacks many facilities that are needed in an up-to-date In dian school, such as that at Salem. The remaining $5,000 will be spent in general repairs and improvements to the school plant. While the Oregon delegation will ask for further appropriations for new buildings, the Indian office be lieves the plant, with the addition of a hospital, is all that is required, for the present at least.

The three Congressmen from Washington called at the Indian Of fice one day last week to recommend the enlargement of Tulalip Indian school so as to accommodate 150 pupils. The department is willing to proceed with enlargement of the plant, " if the delegation will secure the ne cessary appropriation. HE DIDN'T REPORT. Colonel Mills, superintendent of the West Point academy, has a repu tation for sternness even among army men. Years ago, when he first took command of the post at Buffalo, he found that station extremely lax in discipline, and it was no secret among his friends that he proposed to work some reforms. Shortly after his in stallation he was one day annoyed by the receipt of a telegram from a subordinate off on a furlough which read, "Will not report today, as ex pected, account unavoidable circum stances." The tone of the message was not at all to Col. Mills' mind, and he wired at once in reply, "Report as expected or give reasons." Within an hour the following mes sage came over the wires, dated from a hospital in New York: "Train off; can't ride. Legs off; can't walk. Will not report unless you insist." The colenel did not insist." Ex.
