What with dust stains, perspiration, etc., laundering has Major John M. Burke, Buffalo Bill's Manager, a Battle-Scarred Warrior of the Old School, Tells Somo Thrilling Experiences. It has been many a day since a more Jovial and whole-souled man struck Pendleton than Major John M. Burke, manager of "Buffalo Bill' Cody's Wild West show, who was In town Thursday. The major is a largo man, good natured, strong-featured, smooth- shaven face, with the mark of a knife wound across the side of tho face and head and a curly thatch of grey hair above It He Is one of tho most interesting men it Is often tho pleasure of one to need.

"Tho most exciting event of my life and that is saying a good deal, for I was stabbed twice and shot twice before I was 17 years of age was tho negotiations carried on with Uio Sioux after the battle of Wound ed Knee, when they were having their ghost dance at tho Pine Itldge agency. "General Miles was at tho agency and I was there at the tlmo organiz ing a band of 100 Indians for our re turn trip to Europe.

This set more trouble brow Inir and tho Indians began their ghost .isinco ncaln and declared that they would go on the war path this time 'for keeps.' Tilings looked pretty squally, for in tho territory between Mm British border and tho Rio Grando there were 50,000 savages keen for trouble, and there would have been plenty of it well, wait till I tell you.

"Lee came and we nerved ourselves up to the ordeal. I know that Leo had acquired the friendship of the Brules and that I was quite a favorite with the Ogallalas, but I also knew that they were all boiling with fa natical hatred of every white man and well, what's the use I was scared pretty nearly stiff. "The meeting was arranged on Wolf Creek, a wild sort of place with a natural amphitheater of hills. With a half dozen painted Indians, we rode down among those thousands of painted devils. To our extreme gratification, they received us with enthusiastic friendliness.

POLITICS IN INDIANA. CO-OPERATIVE PLANTING. What Is Being Done to Increase the Forest Area. Tho system of co-operation with private land ownors In forest plant ing, begun by tho bureau of forestry Uireo years ago, haB done much to encourage tree planting and to bring about the introduction of safe and re liable methods. At the boglnning ot tho present field seaBon 224 planting plans had been made in 172 localities of 29 different states. In addition, 38 applications for assistance from a number of states are on file, and all will recelvo nttontlon during tho pres ent field" season. Tho majority of planting plans aro for wood lots for individual land ownors. In somo cases, however, plans are being made for corporations, cUIob and even states. In co-operation with tho Fort Worth & Denver "City Railway, the bureau is now making an examination of land in Northern Toxas for the purposo of drawing up simple direc tions for tho development of wood lots on tho farms in that region. After the examination haB been com pleted, planting plans will be pre pared for those who desire them, nnd later printed instructions In re gard to tho development of forest plantations will ho issued.
