appointed to tho position of master
farmer at tho Pino Ridg Indian Agen
cy, writes The Tribune ns follows:
"I havo tho position of farmer at
the Ogalalla boarding school, Which is
me largest school in the reservation
service. It is located a half mile from
Pino .Ridge and has tlireo hundred
pupils, equally divided as to boys and
girls. The Government clothes.

is a full blooded Indian. Ho is also the
bandmaster and has a band of thirty
five members.
Last year a hospital with aceommo
dations for fifty patients was erected,
with a physician, two trained nurses
and soveral assistants in charge.
There Is an employe at the head
of overy departmnt who trys to teach
theso girls and boys something useful,
but It is quite a task as they aro the
laziest people on earth.
I have complete charge of the farm-
inK and stock department; have about
ICO to 200 acres of alfalfa, farm 200
to 250 acres in grain, corn and pota
toes. Thero aro 3000 acres In the place

New York Stnte. but they kqep a
dairyman and gardener that tends to
the milking and gardening.
Each department haB a detail of
boys to work half tho day and they go
to school tho other half. I havo twenty
on my details mostly boys from 16 to
20 years of ago.
This farm is under irrigation, gets
Its water out of White Clay, but the
superintendent says he has never used
tho water because the farmer before
was from Maryland and didn't know
h6w to run It.
Wo work eight hours a day with

and myself went out Saturday after
