me general land office df th
United States will shortly Institute a
series of what will be known as In
herlted Indinrj land sales, says
Washington dispatch. In 1892 a law
was passed by congress providing for
the allotment to each Indian of what
ever tribe, a quarter section of the
land of his reservation. This law
applied to the old and young, male
and female.
many allotments were made soon
after the law was panned, and the In
dlan owners of the allotment have
since died, from time to time. Thel
land passed Into the hands of the In
terlor department In the rapacity of
an administrator on a wholesale scalp,
The department now has about 800
of these estates to settle, many, of
them In the Crow reservation, and
will begin to sell the land and dispose
of the proceeds of the sale to the heirs
of the dead Indians. In the regular or
der of administering upon the respea
tlve ertales.
The land will be sold to the high
est bidder, white or Indian, and the
man who buys a tract will receive
regular deed from the government,
JuH the same as if the transaction
was between Individuals. In a few
days the government may put up
about 70 of these tracts. Ninety days'
previous notlve will be given by pub
llcatlon In, some newspaper contlgu
nus to the reservation where the lands
are to be sold.
A significant feature of these sales
Is that the lands In question lie In the
uncedrd portions of the reservation
as relating to the Crow tribe, and
therefore follows that In a very few
years white settlers will be scattered
through all that part of the domain
that has been reserved for the Indian
It being reasonable to suppose tha
white men will compose the large ma
Jorlty of the buyers when these lands
are pi't up at public auction.
RELIEF OVERESTIMATED.
Kail lYanciHco Argonaut Say Amount
Ut ICxnggprateit.
The San Francisco Argonaut In
speaking of the amount of funds ac
tually received by the relief com
m It tees of Han Francisco, says:
Every day that we pick up an east
em paper we see the amount of tHe
California relief fund contributed
eastern cities set down variously at
from It millions to 20 millions of dol
lars. As we write, a dally comes to
hand from Cleveland which puts It at
about "21 million dollars." We should
like very much to know where these
newspapers get their figures from
As we write, the exact sum record
ed by the Son Francisco committee of
relief and Red Cross society (which
is working with the San Francisco
committee) Is 15.120,015.91. In ad
dltton to this Is to be Included a por
tion of the sum of $2,500,000 appro
priated by congress. But a great por
tlnn of this was expended for trans,
portatlnn and subsistence of troops
ordered here and for blankets and
tents. Of this sum only 1300.000 In
cash reached the Son Francisco relief
committee, and the part of It expend
ed for food by the government Is less
than one-fifth of the whole.
Rut waiving all these details, the
difference between five millions and
21 millions is 16 millions of dollar.
We do not like to look a gift horse In
the mouth, and we of California are
Infinitely grateful to our brothers of
the east for the more than flvo mil
Hons they have sent us. Hut wo wish
the eastern newxpapers would stop
assuring everybody that they have
sent us 21 millions when we have re
celved only five.
Irrigation Pays In Oklahoma.
W. T,. Fullerton, member of the Ok
lahoma board of agriculture, a plo-
neer In Irrigation In southwestern
Oklahoma, has 76 acres of Irrigated
land In cultivation this year. He Is
growing turnips and sweet and Irish
potatoes ond cotton. Tho water he
uses Is drawn by gravity through a
two and one-hnlf mile ditch from
Turkey creek. Last year he raised
400 bushels of turnips to the acre and
sold 4000 bushels at from 60 to 75
rents a bushel. He raised a bale of
cotton to the acre, while neighboring
farmers on non-Irrigated land raised
from one-third to one-half bale. Ful
lerton boasts of one sweet potato that
weighed 17 tt pounds.

This terrific gush Is more than 200
miles long and more than a mile deep,
and Its area exceeds 2,000 square miles.
From the El Tovar rim, on which I
stand, to the gleaming, suow veined
crags on the opposite side of this stu
pendous cleft the distance Is thirteen
miles. Human vision cannot take In
the full extent of this wide pageant of
terror and glory nor is It wltliln the ca
pacity of words to set forth Its over
whelming splendor. The plain on which
I stand Is nearly 8,000 feet above sea
level, and here, In a prodigious fissure
gaunt, abrupt, frightful and wonder
fulare assembled mountains, valleys,
enormous rocks, precipitous crags, ra
vines of mystery and forests of gloom,
through Hvblch the black waters of the
Colorado rush onward in their resist
less flow and over which the dauntless
eagle wings Its upward flight to meet
the sun. All the forms are here that
Imagination could construct, and all the
colors are here that glow In sunxet
ikies. Far down In the subterranean
vista the forests show like green lawns.
Not less than seven geologic periods In
the physical history of the planet are
displayed In the layers of tinted rock
black, green, gray, red, brown, blue,
pink, orange and alabaster, with many
other mingled hues that constitute the
walls of this colossal gorge; walls that
seem continuous and unbroken, yet
everywhere are rifted with lateral fis
sures, the beds of mountain streams
that swell the flood of the great Colo
rado river. The American continent
has nowhere else a spectacle to show
commensurate with this In beauty,
grandeur and awe. William Winter In

AQUATIC PLANTS
How They Mar Bo Soeeoaafnllr Cmlt
TBtro In Tab.
The cultivation of aquatic plants In
tubs makes It possible for any one to
try his skill with them. Of course he
need not expect to be able to grow the
rarer sorts of nymphaea, bnt be can
succeed with many beautiful varieties
of water lily and other plants of that
class. A half barrel Is not very at
tractive In Itself, but Its lack of beauty
may be concealed by the plants, or It
may be sunk Its depth In the earth.
When It contains a fine specimen of
some aquatic plant we will forget all
about Its lack of grace. When prepar
ing for these plants put In rich black
mud from the bed of streams or muck
from swamps to the depth of a foot;
then plant your roots In It and fill with
water. Add enough water from time
to time to make up for that which is
lost by evaporation and give the tub a
sunny place In the yard or garden. If
you want to grow more plants than one
tub will accommodate. It Is a good
plan to take four, five, six, or as many
as you may decide on, and have them
sunk In the ground close together, so
that the general effect will be some
thing like that which a large tank
would give. A better plan, though a
more expensive one to carry out. Is
to have a tank constructed of heavy
planks. These should be securely bolt
ed at the ends and the Joints made
tight by white lead In the grooves.
Ironnionaror.
The word "Ironmonger" has as curi
ous an origin as any ather word In the
English language. It means literally
an eater of Iron and came to Its present
use In this way. There was once a law
that forbade buying fish to sell again.
and the flsh hawkers, who still carried
on their trade In spite of this law, were
facetiously termed flsh caters or fish
mongers, for, to-evade the law, their
large purchases of flsh were said to be
for their own consumption. Gradually
the term monger was applied to other
trades, as cheesemonger, until at last
It came to mean nny middle man, as
distinguished from a manufacturer, and
so was applied to the dealer In hard-
ware. London Graphic.

GRAFT OF 321,1
HARLOW ROAD HILL
SHOULD BE DEFEATED,
Company Has an Option on Road for
f H0O0 and Will Attempt to Sell It to
the State for $24,000 Ttirough tlie
Initiative Law W. S. I Ren Tells
the Plain Facts of the Cane.
The people of Oregon are called
upon to pay a private company 124,
000 for the Barlow toll road. This
company has an option on the road
for 18000 and expects to graft the
state to the extent of (16,000 through
the Initiative law.
The bill to purchase the road will
be voted on by the people at the com
Ing election. Every man who desires
to see the graft defeated, should vote
no on the Barlow road graft of
124,000.
W. S. U'Ren, of Oregon City, who is
perfectly familiar with the case,
writes to the Portland Oregonlan as
follows, concerning It:
"I would like to submit some facts
concerning the proposed sale of the
Barlow toll road to the state of Ore
gon for 24,000. I believe It should be
voted down because: It is not worth
the money; the promoters have an
option on the road from the owners
for $8000 and will make $16,000, if
they can sell it to the state; no far
mers in Clackamas county are obliged
to pay a toll to got thVIr products to
market; very few furmers live near
the mad; the seven miles of toll road
between the mountains and the end
of the public road was offered to
Clackamas county as a free g
about three years ago and refused; no
provision ts made in the law for an
examination of the title of the alleged
owners, nor requiring the title to be
free from Incumbrances; there Is very
little travel on this road; I drove
over the road across the mountains
and back seven years ago and did not
meet an uverago of one team a day.
