ASTORIA, OREGON,
Awaiting the word of President Roose
velt, 1,100,000 acres of lilt agricultural
ami grazing ground are ready for et
tlement under the Homestead and
other act by which a citizen of the
United State, though poor, can acquire
i an estate. The land ii a part of the
hunting ground of the Crow Indian
in Southwestern Montana, which were
year ago made into a reservation for
the meuil)er of that tribe. The gov
ernment began negotiating with the In
dium for tliU land in 1800, and so many
delay have there been that it look
now a If it will be next spring before
the reservation will be actually thrown
rfpen for aettlement.
In the bargain for that part of the
reervation for which they have no ue
the Crow Indian chief have hown
thenuw lve to be master of high finance.
Not or keg of bra tack, red blanket
jand barrel of rum did they barter away
I the land of their father, a did the
Atlantic Coat Indian in the day when
Manhattan wa being settled. Pretty
Eagle, Two Legging, Medicine Eagle,
and' the other chief were entirely too
"up to date" to do that. They taw to it

11,130nO or till surplu acreage, and
by thi one deal they made themselves
the richet Indian in the world. -The
lat cenitiM of the Crow tribe
howed lhat ther,e were only Sift men,
and among thi number the purchae
money would have gone a long way.
There would have been about $2,300 for
each adult Indian. The government de
cided, however, that It would not go
far after all if the Indiana apent it in
tlwir own way. It would have been' a
ce of "hike' for Billing, or Toluca,
or I'ryor, or some of the town on the
railroad where they would have pur
chased all ort of cnriou thing, from
plume bearing heare to silk hat, and
without doubt they would also have
Inid the foundation of a monumental
"jag.' They would have returned in a
week or o with a terrible headache,
but with little to show for their mon-
y.
Knowing all thi from ad experience
I'ncle tam decided to be a real Uncle
lo hi Crow ward; and the agreement!
a to the payment of the purchae mon
ey ha been a well aurrounded with
anti-squandering safeguard a the will
of maiden aunt who never left New
England or the endowment of modern
hero fund. The Indian will not get
enough in actual cah to celebrate the
Fourth of July or quench a midsummer
night's thirst.
The flrt $90,000 of the $1,150,000
which the Indian are to receive are to
receive will lie epent by the Secretary
of the Interior in improving the irriga
tion ytem which the government i
conNtructing on that w-tion of the res
ervation which the Crow atill hold.
The um of $10,000 go- to the exten-
ion of the ditche of individual Indian.
hen the whole irrigation acheme i 'en-
lowed , with the turn of $100,000, the
fund to remain in the United State
Treaury and draw interest at the rate
of 4 percent. In fifteen year it 1 ex
pected, the irrigation scheme will be
self supporting, and the Indian and
the secretary will then get together on
further disposition of this money.
The Secretary of the Interior, through
hi cattle buyeis, will al-o spend $240,
000 purchasing two-year-old Southern
heifer. Thee animal will be placed
on the reservation a part of the herJ
which the tnlie -own in common.
The appropriation for jackae which
Congre provided wa $15,000, for two
year old ewe $40,000 and for fencing
the reservation with six strands of
barbed catt'e wire $40,010.
For the erection of school building
the government set aside $100,000. A
hospital i being built at the cost of
010,000, and it w endowed with the sum
of $50,000. The balance of the purchase
money is to be placed in the Treasury
of the United State as a trust fund
for the Crows. It will bear interest at
the rate of 4 per cent, and out of it an
annuity of $12 a year will be paid to
every man, woman and child on the
reservation. In thi way the well being
of the Crow will be provided for in the
times to come. If the tribe grow
smaller there will be more reservation
lands to be sold to the government and
fewer Indians to divide the proceeds
among. There are members of the tribe,
however, who declare that it will not
decrease, and that the education and
the comforts which the goverranent
promises them will cause a gradual in
crease, but that will be against all In
dian precedent
There still lives on the reservation the
only Crow scout who survived the Cus
ter massacre. This is "Curly," who is
one of the prominent men of the tribe.
He is now about fifty years of age. He
escaped from thq massacre with his
brother, who was badly wounded.
They made their way down the Little
Big Horn until they met Terry and his
troopers.
1 The land which will be thrown open
surrounds the Custer Military reserva
tion, which includes the site of the Cus
ter fight. -The spot where the famous
general fell is marked with a wooden
cross bearing this inscription: "Here
fell CusterJune 23, 1876." All around
it are slabs marking the graves of the
soldiers of the 7th Cavalry. Scattered
through the area which will soon be open
to settlement will be found manv Indian.
uunm scattOMs, In the disposition Of
which it is likely the government Will
take some action. The Crows have
peculiar burial custom. Friends or rel
atives build a scaffold eight or ten feet
high, on which the body i placed in a
rougn pine, . box. A canvas covering
gives protection from the weather. In
the bare prairie country these gruesome
reminders of the end of Indian life stand
out in striking prominence, and the new
Montana farmers will doubtless object
to having-.them about their ranches.

WONDERFUL CURE
OF SORE HANDS
Oy Cuticura After the
Most Awful Suffering
Ever Experienced
EIGHT DOCTORS
And Many Remedies Failed
to do a Cent's Worth
of Good
"I was troubled with sore bands, so
ore that when I would put them la
water the pain would nearly act me
crazy, the akin would peel off and the
flesh would get hard and break. There
would be blood flowing from at least
fifty places on each hand. Words could
sever tell the suffering I endured for
thtee years. I tried everything, but
could get no relief. I tried at least
eight different doctors, but none did
me any good, as my hands were aa bad
when I got through doctoring as when .
I began. I also tried many remedies,
but none of them ever did me one
cent's worth of good. I was discour
aged and heart-ore, I would feel so
bad mornings, to think I had to go to
work and stand the pain for ten hours. '
I often felt like giviigupmy position.
Before I started to work X would
hare to wrap every finger up scjv '
arately, so as to try and keep them
soft and then wear gloves over the
rags to keep the grease from getting
on my work. At night I would have
to wear gloves ; in fact, I had to wear
gloves all the time. Put - thanks to
Cuticura, that ia all over now.
CURED FOR 50c :
"After doctoring for three years, N
and spending much money, a 50c.
Sox of Cuticura Ointment ended all
my sufferings. It's been two years
ince I used any, and I don't know .
yh&t sore hands are now, and never
lost a day's work while using Cuti
