orally supposed The white men keep m taking his land but he has enough left all told to make him quite a landholder and if he knew better how to make use of it he would not be very badly oft There Is where the shoe pinches Neverthe less the Indian Is learning a good deal - X ft s s v s KrtTli 1 Crcsfiwoas t CHIEF AS DAKLUOrE about taking rare of his possessions and surrounding himself with what the white man is accustomed to look upon as all the comforts of home Just at this time the Indian situation is at tracting attention because of the ad vent in the interior department at Washington of a new commissioner of Indian affairs of various talked of changes in the Indian policy of the government and of the pioposal by Hodman Wanamaker that the red man be honored by the erection of a gigan tic btatue of him in New York harbor as a sort of companion piece to the re nowned statue of Liberty Mr who is a son of John Wana maker the famous merchant and for mer postmaster general thinks that it would be highly appropriate to erect at th gateway of the country a statue t pifying the race which originally possessed the continent and the move ment to carry out the project has gain ed considerable headway It happens that during August sev eral large tracts of Indian land will be distributed among homesteaders by the government In Idaho Jkiu00 of the 400000 acres of the Coeur dAlene reservation will be opened up to set tlement The tract embraces agricul tural grazing and timber lands Some oOOOO acres of the Flathead Indian lands in western Montana aud 0000 acres of the Spokane reservation in eastern Washington are to be opened up also in the course of the summer and autumn The Indian population of the Coeur dAlene reservation consists of about o00 Coeur dAlenes and another hun dred Indians who are Spokanes These people each own KiO acres of land and have 2H00 head of horses 1200 cows 5C0 hogs and 173 sheep The wealthi est of the tribe is probably Louis Mit chata who is reputed worth about rn rr ill I IT i i s V tf I J PkVSrO JNOEKW002 yNOERWOCTi CHIEF DAKIUGIE AT WORK ON HIS FABM 513000 He lives in a house which would be uo discredit to any farmer in the country and has large barns and outbuildings on his premises Many of the Indians of Oklahoma aud other states and territories of the southwest are examples of the modern type of red man who is learning that working rather than fighting is after all the role that pays best in the long run A notable instance of the In dian of this type is Asa Daklugie who recently succeeded to the chieftainship held by that renowned Apache war rior Geronimo who died some months ago When at work in his fields as a man with the hoe Daklugie does not look so very fierce notwithstanding his predecessor as chief was so famous for his bloodthirstiness Old Geron imo became quite peaceable toward the close of his career but he always remained proud of the reputation as esersl The Indian as a Landowner Rodman Wanamakers Pro posal of a Big Bronze Red Man For New York Harbor a liger in human form which General Nelson A Miles gave him It was in lSiC and ISSti that Miles held his famous Apache hunt At least twenty pitched battles were fought and the Indians kept the sol diers constantly on the move or under arms In the course of the campaign the Apaches repeatedly crossed and re crossed the Mexican border About the last of August 1SS0 they made their final stand in the mountaiuoui region of the Sierras 300 miles south of the holder After unsuccessful efforts to coin promise with Jovernor Torres the Mexican official nearest the trouble they finally surrendered to the Amer lean force who had an understanding with the Mexican government Among those who surrendered were Geionimo the fiercest enemy that the palefaces had ever known Natch and fifteen other chiefs When the surrender of the whole force of hos tiles had been completed the Amer icans found themselves with nearly 400 men women and children to care for President Cleveland and Secre tary Lamar agreed that their only pos sible status was that of prisoners of war and such they have remained t rough siv administrations The imprisonment in the Florida orts was brief On official lecommen dation the Apaches were transferred to Fort Sill Okla where they still remain Rut the remnant of the wir iiors of the eighties and the young bloods of the tribe yearn for a sight ot their former camping grounds and there is now before President Taft a petition that they be allowed to return to the spot they still regard as home That the education of the red man of today along industrial lines is bring ing encouraging results is shown in the last annua report of Miss Estelle Reel superintendent of Indian schools It fe IBS EODMAS WAXAMAKEIt gcs a signScaut array of facts as to the useful lives graduates of these schools are leading while earning their own living as farm laborers tilling I their own land working on railroads l or at trades This change in conditions is largely due according to Miss Heel to the es tablishment of the policy of giving in- I dutrial training the foremost place in the school work An investigation of the mode of life of students who have been graduated shows that a large ma- joriry of them are endeavoring to over 1 come the environment of camp life In this connection the condition of the In dians in California is interesting Few of the red men in southern California receive rations none receives an annu ity and idle ones are to be found only occasionally Many of the graduates of government schools are farming their own land or work for their white neighbors The thrift of the new generation of Indians is shown at the Grand Junc tion school Colorado This is a non reservation school Fifty boys and twenty girls who were instructed in horticulture have saved between SvSOOO and 4000 from the money they ob tained for fruit raised by them In Idaho the only Indians who draw rations are the old and infirm The Indians take great pride in their crops and cattle and are supplying all the beef required on some reservations Rodman Wanamaker in proposing that a big bronze red man be placed on guard in New York harbor sug gests that when the white man first came to the new world the Indian met his ships Many of the red men came in kindness and but for wrongs exe cuted by the newcomer would have lived in peace with the white man But the page of history has been written The Indian has gone the way of the buffalo A memorial of what he once was would seem little more than poetic justice With such a statue at the entrance to the harbor of the greatest city of the new world every incoming steam ship would come close to where the Indian would stand forth in his native garb a memory of greatness that once was The white man is generally supposed to love the Indian best after he is dead This would be a dead Indian indeed yet the belated honor so paid would show that the hatchet is buried and that perhaps even yet red men and palefaces may dwell together in peace clC XOlDit llltetefr ---3 atediaSiBM ZION LACE INDUSTRIES ZION CITY ILLINOIS 7ION LACES and many interesting features
