An allotment of ICO ocros has boon moilti lo every member of , lho band. Under the law It Is provided tnat patents shall not Issue till the settler or entry man has paid 12.50 for each acre taken Vp by him and the tltlo lo tbo lands shall fa- jtnaln In the United States until the full Amount has boon paid by tbo entry mno or ills legal representative. The balance left jpftor tbo Indians made their selections Is es timated at 700,000 , or about 4,000 claims of 100 acres each. This area added to tbo Sioux lands thrown open a year neo , makes ft total of 2,500,000 acres taken from the auo- rlelnt-s and given to while settlers. HcJuctlou of reservations Is tno order of the day throughout the west. The advance bf population is irreilulblc , ana the millions of idle acres yet held bv the Indians must clvo way to the ovor-lncroaslnc oncroach- 'pionts ' and demands of tbo whites , Araonc jlhe rcservntlotii to bo reduced In size this ( year is the Colvillo Indian reservation , lo- sated lu Stevens und Oknnogau counties , in .he uortlioast corner of the state of Wash- npton It is bounded on the north by tbo 'ortv n nth parallel the international > oundary line on the west by the Okanopan Ivor n"U on the east nnd south by the Co- umbln Us estimated nroa is 2,300,000 iquuro acres , or 4 , 75 square miles nearly a large as Connecticut , four times larger than Hbodo Island , and nbout one-tenth as JarRO as Pennsylvania. This vast territory is inhabited by less than l.GOO people , accord ing to the cniiBUs of IbVK ) , of whom Gs5 are juntos over IS years old. Tbo population comprises the remnants of eight tribes , viz , the Colvillcs , L.aUcs , OUaoo- bans , Nespllems , Coiumblas , Mothows , San J'uolls nnil Chief Joseph's band of Ncz 1'orcos , In former years one of the most hos tile nnd troublesome of tbo 1'aciflc coast tribes. The largest of tbeso tribes , the Olcanopans , numbers but 347 persons nil told , and tbo smallest , the Nospllems , num bers but sixty-sovou. Other Inhabitants are 0 considerable number of "squaw men" /whiles who have married Indian or half- ureod wives , but who bavc no other tribal relations or possessory rights ) and a few \rhlto settlers who took up Rovornmont land V > rior to the creation of tbo reservation , pwiiii ? to the zealous ministrations of the { Jesuits , who established a mission near old Fort Colvillo in the thirties , the Indians pave attained a flocroo of intelligence and civilisation far above the average standard , ftnd tbo majority of thoin are incllnoa to iti- OUitry and thrift. But , after all , and not- jwitlistnndlnR the restraints and discipline of Vho Jesuit falters , they are Indians. . , A little moro lhan half the reserve , or 1- fiOU.OOO acres , was coded to the government last year. For this the covornmont agrees to pav ? l.r > JO.OOO , build scfioolbousos , a blaru- pmlth shop , a sawmill , furnish necessary in structors nnd operators , pivo each Indian over IS years old eighty acres of land in evoralty and makospocial grants in casu lo portal n chiofs. The wcsUrn oortlon of the reservation is n beautiful , rolling country , but n narrow strip bordering on tbo Columbia is of rugged and xnouuiamous character , and il abounds in ' /streams and fertile valio.vs. A largo portion Of the laud is araulo , although prooably riot bver 50J acres Are now under cultivation. The most valuable of all tbo resources of tbo reservation lies In the mineral deposits , bf which there is an apparently inoxh&ustl- bio supply. Notwithstanding prohibitory laws and the strict surveillance of tbo Indian police , numerous prospectors have sought the interior , thorougbly investigated nnd prospected the hills and mountains and re turned with tales of fabulously rich finds of jodcs of cold , silver und oilier valuable min- jpruls No less thun tcroo largo and valuunio .deposits of anthracite coal have ocen dis covered. nrg-arillng New Stntes. ( It is generally conceded ttmt Mormontsm Is the solo obstruction to the admission of Utah as a stnto. Political considerations potato against Nexv Mexico and Arizona. Kevada , though a stale , bus declined in pop ulation , having scarcely onivhalf the popula- rtion of either of tbo romiimlnjr torrlloncs. fin view of the o conditions the Now York Bun suggests a plan by which the problem may bo"solved. . It is suggested thai the eastern third of Utah bo Hddnd to Colorado , ua the remainder annexed to Nevada. Tbo division , U is estimated , would add 200,000 people to Nevada's population. Tno Gcntilo gtronglh of the western sccl'on of Utah mlUa with Nevada's present strongtn i\vould , it Is bcllovod , overcome tbo Mormou Voting strength. Colorado would not bo af- ctuil politically by tbo addition of 20,000 , .eoplc , mostly Mormons. Thus the Mormon problem would bo disposed of , tbo people secure state rights , Ulah would disappear from Iho map ana Nevada become respoclablo In siri ; find population. ' For New Mexico and Arizona It is pro fiosud that they scould bo united , or rather ruunlKd , for admission to the union. The former was organized as a territory in ISM linuUiuirous > ly with Utah ; hut Arizona was not organized until ISO. ) . Tbo population of Nexv Mnxlco in 1SPO was lf > 3r , > M. and that of Arizona was only 59,020. making togelhor EKI.t ! ! , ! , which would bo a very creditable pbowmg for a single now stnto. Hut at this point comes in a suggested rcc tulcaliori of existing stnto and lorritorial lines. Taking Innd surface only , Iho area of Colorado is UKiCI5 squnro miles ; that of Nevada vada , 10'J,7-IO ; that ol Utah , s2l'.K ) ; that of Arizona , 112tt30 : that of Now Mexico. 12 400 all of them very mountainous and arid and dependent on irrigation for crops. Of course u stale formed of Iho two laltbr com bined would bo much larger than cither Nevada vada or Colorado as increased by a portion of Utah. Il Is proposed thnt tbo eastern line of Colorado should bo emended southward Across the old public land strip called No Man's Lane , and Is now a part of Oklahoma , &nd than theouthorn boundary of Colorado should bo formed by pursuing westward the outborn boundary ot tbo pabllo land strip &s fur as the Colorado rivor. The irregular northwestern corner of .Arizona on the further sldo of Colorado would then go lo Htbo port of Utah added lo Nevada , the Col urudo forming ibo boundary at thai point. The simpler elements of Iho plan , there fort , might perhaps bo moro satisfactory all around-namely , the division of Utah bo twcrn Nevada and Colorado and tbo union o Mew Mexico and Arizona. / Thn Kan liUU Viillrj- mid Croiulc.

The San Lull valley comprises portions of lUo Graudo , Saguacho , Coslillo and Couojo * counlloi , Colorado , and also o portion of New Mexico. Its extent is about 100 milei long and sixty wide. Us aspect is that of a gently tindulatinp plain. Its climate to winter is ono of cold nights and warm days. Mercury at night ranges from 10 ° below to 10 = .above zero , with occasional lower tempera ture. Summers commence about too 1st of Juno.

CLAIIK. Hloctrlclty on the Ilntnp.iRC. On the night of the 10th Instant , xvhllo the municipal campaign wan at Us height in Uutto , Moat. , ibo air xvas hoavlly charged xvlth electricity , producing surprising and sensational situations. Every metallic tub- stance seemed to bo charged to the nozzle nnd numerous shocking exhibitions resullod. Streaks of blue flame shot along tbo electric wires. A llx-ery stable on tbo corner of Galena nnd Main street * furnisbod tbo greatest excitement. The electric current not ouly coursed Ibrough Iho entire big building , but charged the sldoxvalk lo such an extent thai it wa absolutely dangerous for people to walk on it. This fact was fint discovered by Ofllcor Hallahan , who xvas parading his boat as usual about 3 o'clock , and when right In front of the livery stable ho received a shock that doubled bis knee up and caused him to jump from the sidewalk as though it bad bocn rod hot. An Instant later the xvholo side of the building gave out a bluish white light , as though It were on fire , but it only lasted fern n second. Everybodx- the vicinity noticed the weird illumination nnd Iho excitement became general. Ofllcers Walsh and Cant- xvoll appeared on the scene nnd JoluodOfllcer Hallahan and the throe tried to ferrcl oui Iho mystery. No fallen wire could bo found , hoxvovor , und this made the affair moro mys terious than over. In searching for a wire Officer Hnllahan happened to louch Ihe building xvitb his hand and xvas given n shocit which throw him nearly across the sidewalk. Ho started to telephone for an clcclrlcian , but bad hardly pul his fool on the sidewalk before ho received another severe shock and xvns compelled to retreat. Ono of the men started for the street , but was glad to go back into Iho building to escape the curronl lhal xvas clving everybody Iho shivers and sending the cold chills down Iheir backs. A dog started out , but no sooner had Iho currenl touched him than ho omitted some of the most blood-curdling howls nnd xvns about to give up the ghosl xvhcn ho xvas dragged back into tbo saloon. Tbo dog was so crazed by Iho curronl Ihal ho bit his master savagely in the hand as ho xx-as being pulled off Iho walk. This slalo of affairs continued for some tlmo amid Iho greatest excitement , but the current linally nbated and it xvas possible to oncomoio cross tuo sidewalk or touch Iho building without receiving a shock in return. Tbo xvuy in which the curronl was transmitted to the building nnd from there to the sidoxvalk is a mystery xvhich cannot bo explained oven by electricians. Choking 1'rlvute Kutcrprlsc. The recent jugglery of coal rates on the western divisions of the Union Pacific is vigorously denounced by the local press. The raise in freight rales and rcduclion in no price of company coal at Iho mines , virtually shuts out private mine owners from distant markets , just us the company dosignod. The Hock Springs Independent says private mine owners bad an interview with Superintendent Meeonth , and xvore given the oold shoulder. He charged all the private operators xvith culling prices. They denied il and offered lo pay Iho expense of an investigation , but Moeaih refused to entertain tbo proposition.Vo think , " says Ibe Independent , "il is very bad policy for Iho Union Pacific lo arouse the antngon- is.n of ino communities throuRb which it passes.The result is a ficht , which rosulls n such anil-railroad legislalion ns xvas alely passed in Kansas and Nebrnslia. Il will bo Iho same in Wyoming. II is already proposed to elecl n loglslnluro which xvill ruslrict the poxvors of Iho road , and such legislation is 100 often carried to an extreme. \Vo believe the head officials of the company do not know what Mogoath is doing , or realize tbo ultimate consequence : of his arbitrary aelious oa Iho prosperity of the road. " Wonderful Montana. The story of the goosn that luld tbo golden eggs may hnvo boon a good anecdote in the good old times betoro the great west was discovered , assorts the Now York Sun , but a story from Butlo , Mont. , overtops it , A fexv days ago , J. A. McConville , who lives in Montana street , killed ono of his chickens for dinner and was surprised to find n quan- lily of cold nuggets in ils crop and gizzard. Having Ihirty-ODO chickens tnat had scratched In the same patch , he began post mortem prospecting on them. In each chicken he found nuggets , and the total quanllly ffolhered had a cash value of J3S7. Tbo gold xvas cold lo Iho Slate National bank and pronounced IS carat fine. Mr. Mc- Convillo bought fifty chickens and turned thorn out to do scratch mining on tbo gold fields surrounding his hen coop. After four days ho killed ono chicken and mined $3 xvortb of gold from its crop. I'nuiiUiui ; .Monopoly.
