and will also start their mill soon.
Yoor correspondent noticed quite a
lot of new work that is being done
by oar supervisor, Mr. Uentner on
the road between here and Grants
Pans this week. He is a good read
man and all of the work that he has
dona in the past few yeirs chows it.
Good rouds make a good country.
The Provolt correspondent talks
creamery and telephone all the time
and so does "Jouibo. " Now I will
admit that they are both very mnch
needed on Applegate. But how about
that Rural Free Delivery and If there
is any way of getting it we should
surely have it as we cannot get our
mail here until it is four or rive days
old. Now I wish you fellows would
help us out all you could on that
proposition. It does not cost anyone
any thing as It is free.
I noticed quito a number of new
correspondents a week or so ago in
your paper. What has become of
them? I noticed that "Shorty" woke

1050 INDIANS ON
KLAMATH RESERVATION
Land Question Settled and la the
Firat Step to Opening Reserva
tion to Settlement.
From Klamath Falls Express :
The Indian agent at the Elamatb
reservation, assisted by Capt. O.
O. Applegate, has completed a census
of the Indians and the roll shows 1050
men, women and children. The
taking of the census is the prelimi
nary step to the apportionment of the
funds the Indians are to receive for
about 600,000 acres of land, laying
along the north and east side of 'he
reservation, which tbey relinquished
to the government for a cash pay
ment. The first of this payment,
125,000 has been received aud will be
divided among the 1050 Klamath,
Modocs, Pitt Rivers and Piutes that
inhabit the reservation. The remain
der of the money, 350,000, due from
the government, bas been placed on
interest and - every year
the Indians
will receive the interest money
amounting to aboot $10,000. While
the per capita payments will not be
large, yet when it is considered as a
lump sum it is no small income to the
reservation wards of Uncle Sam. The
sum of f.'i.W.OOO placed on interest is
held up at the will of the secretary of
interior and it may be many years
betore this amount is apportioned
among the Indians.
Another important matter in the
Indian's affairs Is the definite settle'
ment of the Central Military road
land grant in the reservation. This
matter was first taken up by Capt.
O. 1. Applegate during bis adminis
tration as Indian agent and was
brought to a successful issue by Major
Wilson, the present agent, in a com
paratively short time.
The settlement was reached by ex
changing a tolerably compact body
of timber land lying west of the Sican
valley in the Klamatb reservation for
the grant lands following the old
Central Military road heretofore
claimed by the California ana Oregon
Land Company. The grant land
comprised about 111,000 acres and in
lien of these they were given about
80,000 acres on the west side of Sican
Valley and a deed for the same was
plaoud on record this week. This ex
change of lands was made in pursn
ance to a plan of settlement marked
ont by the representatives of the In
dians and of the oompany claiming
the lands under the authority of con
gress.
The final tettlement of this land
removes one of the Impediments In
making the laud allotments to the In
diani which may now be pursued and
when completed the government will
be iu a position to purchase the tribal
rights of the Indians to the remain
der of the lands and is a decisive step
towards the opening of the reserva
tion. Thawed Dynamite and
James Robbius was seriously hurt
and Carl Darling received severe in
juries in an explosion of 00 pounds
of giant powder which ooourred at
the Brailen mine, two miles from
Gold Hall, Tuesday afternoim about

boxes of choice apples which he will

Where can there be any better
plaoe than Provolt to live where
you can have ripe strawberries the

Christmas which brings back to
memory the beautiful Spring of the
year?
The Provolt school has commenced
after several weeks delay on account
of no teachers to be bad. Mr. Good
pasture is our teacher at present. He
is from Willow Spring, in the Rogue
River Valley and he will be with us
three months and probably much
longer. It seems as though the school
has found what it has needed for a
long time and that is the new bell,
whioh sends its thrilling calls over
our beautiful valley and from hill to
hill which makes the farmers feel as
if they have accomplished a work,
which has been resting upon the dis
trict for several years.
Provolt Is noted for its mountains
of timber which surround the valley
aud for its fertile soil from which
many different varieties of produce
oan be raised. It is also situated at
the mouth of the Williams Vallev on
Williams creek, which comes from
the beautiful snow capped crags of old
Grayback, which is noted for its
cones aud in Summer furnishes ex
cellent range for many hundred head
of cattle whioh are driven from all
parts of the valleys. There is also
the Applegate river, whioh flows
through the valley from the Siskiyou
mounting and iu Summer the water is
used to irrigate many hundreds of I
acres of land whioh are put to alfalfa !
at little expense. I

HOW REDLAND OBSERVES
ANNUAL"CLEAN-UP DAY"
Salem's Commeicial Club Plan
ning to Inaugurate a. Simi
lar Movement.
The Commercial Club of Salem is
planning to have a "clean-up" day in
that city, and has been securing data
as to how it is done in other places.
The following from the Statesman
will no donbt be of interest to many :
The special committee of the Salem
Commercial Club held a meeting
last Saturday and discussed the plans
upon which the future work of the
club should be based.
During the meetiug an article was
brought to the notice of the officers
from the Redlaad, Cal., Daily Facts,
of November 13, which illustrates
how they do things in that well kept
city. Here is its account of "clean
up day. "
"Clean-up day was not as generally
observed in the city' today as it was
hoped by the members of the Boosters'
club that it would be. Rut all over
the city were found scattered indivi
duals working in front of their homes
giving their places the benefit of at
least a day's cleaning.
"A notable event of the day was
the street sweeping by a group of
ladies living in the western part of
the citv.
"Armed with hoes, raKes and
brooms they cleaned the sidewalks and
crossings, as, they stated, they were
tired of tramping through the duet
and weeds, especially when going to
church on Sunday. So they ap
peared this afternoon to clean np, as
the proprietors had not done so earlier
in the day. Tbey cleaned between
Third and Orange streets, on the
north side of West Citrus avenue, dig
ging up the weeds and removing the
rubbiBh and dust from the sidewalks.
Much of this was gathered np in their
hands and thrown into heaps in the
gutters. They then looked for some
one to volunteer to haul the dirt
away.
"The publio spirted sweepers in
cluded Mesdanies Harmon, Froit, Bid
well, W. H. Goodrich, Lynn. Hird,
Campbell and Lelean, and Miss Mace.
"Iruftee Hargraves, observing the
spirit in which the women worked,
nad a gallon of ice cream sent to the
home or one of the members of the
group of sweepers, where all were in
vited to go and refresh themselves at
the close of the dusty and tiresome
Work."
The same papsr contains a letter
from tba secretary of the chamber of
commerce of Riverside, Cal., telling
what tbey do in that city in the way
of tree ornamentation, which is worth
reading :
"Your letter of October 81 to hand,
and in reply will state that the mat
ter of a Tree Warden or Tree Commis
sioner was worked out by the River
side Chamber of Commerce, owing to
the needs of the growing city, and
was practically created in the first
place for handling the abuses by the
people of the right to trim and cut
out ornamental Btreet trees. It soon
became obious that if any plan of
uniformity and protection was worked
out, it would be necessary to have
someone in charge. At first the work
was done by the street superintendent
under the direction of the city trust
tees. But it soon became too much
for them to attend to, and among the
members of the Chamber of Commerce

help they could from the trustees.

merce so far has never questioned bis
bills, having full confidence that he is
perfectly correct and gladly pay any
bill that be presents.
"I might mention that we have
something like 30,000 trees planted
in the streets of Riverside, many of
them, old, of conrse, bnt many also
have been planted lately. Tree War
den Reed's plans for next year is the
planting of about 3000 trees.
"For further information I will
add that no one is allowed to trim or
cut out street trees, even though the
tree is dead, without permission from
the tree warden. Of conrse, this
question can always be carried to the
trastees; but they, having full con
fidence in the warden, have always
done as he advised. Among other
things, this stops the telephone, tele
