PAGE SIX ASTORIA, OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28. WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER Superintendent of Indian Schools Says Good Is Being Done for Poor Lo. COMPLETE WIRELESS SYSTEM Where Will Immigrants (5o . They Are Sot Fnruiera -They Have X Capital - Many Used to City Life. Washington, Oct. 27. Tile annual report of the superintendent of Indian schools. Miss Estelle Reel, has been submitted to the commissioner cf In dian affairs. It shows that educa tional advancements have made dur Ingr the year in the general field of Indian education. The Indian child is taught to speak English in a shorter time than formerly. The policy of giving agriculture foremost place In Indian education has been continued during the year and the results ob tained are satisfactory. The report states that marked improvements have been made in the method of in structing the boys in the various trades and the girls in cooking, sewing, laundry' work and general house keeping. The day schools have con tinued their god work, and their civili sing and elevating influence upon the older Indians becomes more apparent ' each year. Statistics are given in which I- is shown that the products of native Industries have a greater value to the Indian than is generally known, and that they form a substantial aid toward his support. Among the evi dences of the good results of Indian education are the reports of the career of returned students, which show that they are endeavoring to overcome the environment of camp life and prove1 themselves worthv of the education they have received. A feature of the reDort is the evidence It elves that the Indian Is altering his ways of living to meet the requirements of an advanc- ing civilization through the educa tional Influence of the schools upon the children who are being taught the white man's ways of living. Sites for 50 additional wireless tele graph stations are recommended b Rear Admiral Manney, chief of the bureau of equipment, In report to the secretary of the navy, which has Just been made public. Admiral Manney's report shows that 22 stations have al ready been established and the addi tional ones will complete a series de signed to include all the American possessions. It will extend all along both coasts, touch Cuba and Porto Rico, the Canal Zone, Alaska, Midway Islands, Hawaii, and the Philippines. Congress is to tackle a proposition of immigration Commissioner Sargent during the coming season. Com missioner Sargent has an idea that it will be a wise plan to turn the tide of immigrants now landing In New York, and remaining there, out into the wild and woolly west, so to speak, or down south, where they are needing laborers. A right good plan, perhaps but isn't Mr. Sargent reckoning with out the consent of his immigrants? Most of the foreigners who land In New York are from the great cities of the old world, and they know about as much about tilling the soil as a hog does about holidays. They have no money and as they are Ignorant of our language, our customs, our govern ment, the very last place on earth to send them Is unto a big quarter sec tlon of unbroken land, where they must estbllsh a home out of nothing. They the families at . least must have some place to live, and they must have something to live on until the crops materialize. Houses cost money, even if you build them of mud, or bur tow In a dugout. Food costs money; money. Who is going to put up for all these things and run the risk of the Poles, Hungarians, Bohemians. Greeks. Italians, or the Russians being able to yank enough out of the ground to pay back and yet support their families? It isa very chimerical proposition. It isn't every man who is a farmer; it isn't every man who can be made Into a farmer; If a few miserable farmers were day labor ers, and men who thought put in to their places, farm statistics would show a wonderful Increase in values. We have enough poor farmers, good ness knows. As for sending these people Into the south to work In the cotton fields, who has any Idea that they will go? The Immigrants -will have something to say about this proposition, and he will most likely say "nay." NAVIGATION SUSPENDED. Klondike Gold Output For Season It $9,500,000. Dawson. Y. T., Oct. 24. (S.hvIiiI to Seattle I. I.) Steamer navigation for the full length of the Yukon has practically ceased, nml the tlrst over land st:g,s with mail will leave for White Horse and Dawson tomorrow, using wheels until then is more snow. The steamer Prospector, the last boat to attempt the trip from Dawson to White Horse this season, leaves to nisht with a full load or passei jtors. The steamer will have to make the run against a river full of light ice. but It is thought that if she succeed: In making the Yukon crossing that th remainder of the trip will be easy. Late reports from Tanana are to the effect that the Monarch, the last boat to leave Dawson for Chenoa, arrived at her destination in safety. The re port also states that the steamer Tyrrell, with Judge Humes, of Seat tle, aboard, managed to get within twenty-five miles of Chenoa, when she was stopped by the ice, and will be obliged to remain where she Is for the rest of the winter. Her freight will be hauled over the ice to Chenoa. Official figures Just given show the output of Klondike camp, including the British Yukon radius within fifty miles of Dawson, this season to be $9,500,000. This Is a falling off of $2,000,000 from the output of last year. YOUTH GETS LONG TERM. Judge Called Reform School a Failure 14 Year Old Lad to Pen. Marysvllle, Cal., Oct. 27. Claude F Hanklns, the 14-year-old murderer of George R. Morse, son of Detective Harry Morse of San Ftanclsco, has been sentenced to serve sixteen years In San Quentln prison. He had been convicted of murder in the second de gree "by a Jury two weeks ago, with a recommendation for extreme mercy added. Notice of appeal was served. Judge McDanlel refused the motion by defendant's counsel for a new trial and refused to sentence the prisoner to the reform school, saying the boy was dangerous and the possibility of reform remote. He stated that the reform school was a failure, and Yuba county's experience was that more 'boys return from the penitentiary re j formed than from the reform school. MAKE MANY VOTERS. Anaconda Will Have 200 New Citizens for Election Day. Anaconda, Mont Oct. 27. The work of making full-fledged Americans out of candidates for citizenship is pro- gressing satisfactorily, and It Is be lieved that before election day arrives fully 200 votes will be added to the polling list of this city. Since September 1 citizenship pa pers have been granted to 125 appli cants and the work Is going on nicely. What will be the politics of the new citizens Is a matter of conjecture. Each of the parties claims a ma jority among the accessions, but no body knows the truth of the matter.

Post Intelligencer A resolution was Introduced Into the council last night instructing the city engineer and the street committee to estimate the cost of sprinkling the paved streets seuuie wnn on. i ne resolution con templates the use of oil instead water for sprinkling purposes during the summer of 1905. The matter wa referred to the street committee consideration. for Oil as a dust nllayer has been use quite extensively by railroads In th east and has been introduced on soni of the western roads that runthroug sandy and dusty territories, Honor are to the effect that the oil has be. found highly satisfactory. Owing to the fact that It Is far loss volatile Urn water, it evaporates very slowly, thu Its effect upon dust Is more lasting, It Is pointed out that while water has t be applied continuously to keep the dust down, one sprinkling of oil will suffice for hours. The less frequent' with which oil has to be used. It claimed, almost makes up for th difference In cost between it nn water. As to whether oil Is a success as street sprinkling substance is an ope question. Reports from some places whore It has been used say It forms a gummy mixture of oil and dust that soon becomes a nuisance. RAILWAY SUED FOR $78,083.90.
