' WINNIIBAOO INDIAN thiisi: ON' DOWNWARD COlHlSi: ' Secretly, if not avowedly, ' most of us harbor a wish to be situated as are the Winnebago Indians in their Thurston county reservation. A peo ple numbering a thousand individuals own 65,000 acres of fertile land, or, over n quarter section to the family. This permits them to live from the rental of tpeir land and to spend their time as they please, , They visit their friends, up-nnrt much time in social doings, and lead in general the independent life. Only about one-fiftn of them porfurm gain ful labor. But .economical independence is not making n thriving tribe. About 1,200 Winnebugos fled into Nebrusku in 1864 following their deportation from Minnesota to South Dakota in the year before". Their histoiyup to that time had been one' of mistreat ment by the whites. Since then they have been well treated,- the attentions of the white bootlegger and grafter excepted. Yet there are now bub 1,008 of them. Tpoir families are small. The death rht6 Is high. Their ultimate disappearance is a piobabil ity. - Dr. Margaret Koenig's recent study of conditions among these Indians, the result of which has just been published by the State Historical So ciety is on the whole n vindication of tho view that no people is wise enough to control the life of another people. Two centuries ago tho Winnebagos in their Wisconsin home woie pros perous and healthy. Today one-tenth of them are infected with tuberculo sis. Two-thirds of them. have vener eal infection. "We have with good intentions tried to make tho Indians like ourselves. The result has been to make them worse and weaker than either ourselves or their nntural selves. If they could be led back to their natural ways including the necessity of doing much healthful labor in or der to live, tho downward courses of our wards at Winnebago Agency migh, perhaps, be averted.

Tho meeting wa? piesidedover by Judge Wm. P. Warner, who stated its purpose, and introduced Judge Root of Onuhn, attorney for the Burlington lvilroad, Mr. Root made it plain as to the attitude of tho railroad towuul river improvement, in case a district was formed for that purpose, and thnt was, that it would do it share in contributing toward I he work. Jn case the orgnnlzation of a district was defeated tho road would take care of its line to tho extent, if necessary, of moving it as far vest ns the bluffs.

VOSS, Superintendent Harry Soronsen, third. PIG JUDGING CONTEST. Ralph Oghum, hrst. Josephine Kennolly, second. Ilnny Sorensen, third. The new compulsory education law contains more rigid requirements than the old one, and leaves hut few opportunities for pnrents or gunid- ians to obtain exemptions tor treir children from school attendance Thus the law can be far better en forced. Too, the excuses for non attendance are practically eliminat ed. This law places the rcjp psibility for sending children to school upn all paronts or other persons who have legal or actual charge or con trol of any child not less than seven nor more than sixteen yenr3 of age. Such children must attend school reg ularly from the opening of tho school for six months in all rural and vil lago schoni districts, and must at tend regularly for tho entire year if thoy reside in city school districts. The pupils residing in rurul and vil lage districts must attend for 120 days even though the school year happens to bo less than nine months. The 120 days or six months are equiv alent because the courts iiave held that 20 days constitute a school month. My plan is to have something to j Fire I'rtMciiiloii on the I'lirin Millions )f dollars worth of agri cultural wenlth la destroyed by fire in the United States each yenr. This is a dead loss to the nation for the fact that most individual losers are portinlly reimbursed through insur ance does not in tho least reduce the drain on our nntural xesources and it is a loss that is largely preventa ble.
