W. fmill of Macr Sara Red Man Takes Kindly to eetlona of OOTtrnmfitt Abbott to Make Trip Weat. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Sept. ".-(Special Tale-gram.)-W. W. Small, chief clerk of the Omaha and Winnebago Indian reservations, stationed at Macy, Neb., accompanied bjr Mrs. Macy, arrived in Washington today and called to pay his respects to Acting Indian Commissioner Abbott. Mr. Small Is east partly on departmental business and, that concludded, will take a short trip along theAtlantlo seaboard for pleaaure. Tha plan Inaugurated by Assistant Com missioner Ti H. Abbott some three years ago of appointing a number of practical farmers to teach the Indians the more modern methods of agriculture Is now bearing out the wisdom of these appoint ments. Not only rn the Winnebago and Omaha reservatlpns have the Indians taken kindly to the suggestions of the 'govern ment farmer, but upon many other reser vations gratifying reports are being re ceived as to crop conditions on reserva tions, where allottments have been entirely cultivated by the Indian. On the Omaha reservation the progress Is not so marked as among the Wlnne bagoes. Still, their work has been fair this year, considering weather conditions. Two years before the practical farmer ar rived on tha Winnebago reservation there were but 3.000 acres under cultivation by tha Indiana.- This year ther are 11.000 acres under profitable cultivation. In addi tion. It is reported that at least 100 homes har been buHt by tha Wlnnebagoes upon their allottments. " , ' , Good If ear for Wlnnebasroea. 1 In speaking of conditions among the WlnnebagoaatV, Mr. Small , said: 'The Wtnnebagoes have had the best year of their history! Doiens of them have" gone upon and are farming their allottments; doxena of little homes have been built;' they are handling 11,000 acres of land and are growing crops of an estimated value Of $90,000. There are not more than S7 per cent as many chattel mortgages on grow ing crops as thera were last year, with at least 15 per cent more crops. There are now in the course of. construction twelve homes and plans for as many more are being discussed. Drunkenness, which was so prevalent ' among these Indians a few years ago, has practically disappeared." Assistant Indian Commissioner V. H. Abbott will leave Washington on Septem ber 17 for a qouple of weeks' official busi ness, first at Chicago, to superintend the opening of bids for tha food supply for the Indians for the next fiscal year. From Chicago Mr. Abbott will go to Fort Batho dt Indian reservation In North Dakota to attend the first snnual Indian fair during the weak of September 20. Mr. ' Abbott la no stranger on the Fort Bertholdt reserva tion, having, in company of Representa tive Hanna, visited the Indians two years ago and In council with them a treaty was drawn whereby some 238,000 acres of this land will be thrown open to settlement. During that visit Commissioner Abbott gained the consent of the Indians to an appropriation of $26,000 out of their trust ' fund to be used In the development of a demonstration farm. Abbott Goes to Fargo. After the fair Mr. Abbott will go to Fargo to confer with Representative Hanna to confer and discuss various methods re lating to the opening of this reserve. It appears that underlying these agricultural lands are large deposits of coal and It is tha purpose of the department to so frame legislation that only-surface entries mar be made upon these lands, the roal beneath remaining forever the property of the tribesmen. This matter will ba thoroughly discussed by Commissioner Abbott and Representative Hanna with the Indiana and it la hoped an amicable agreement may ba reported. Mr. Abbott will also vls't Davll't Iake and Cheyenne in South Da kota and hopes to have time to visit the several Indian reservations In Nebraska. His last stop on his eastward lourneyi wall be at Omaha to look into affairs per talnlng to the Ind an warehouse. Great Chinese Flood Reported by Wilder WASHINGTON, Sept. .

CHESTER FROM CANADA TO THE GULF Report that Erb and Hawley Interests Are About to Be Merged. DETAILS ARE TO BE WORKED OUT Minneapolis A tit. Loots Road to Absorb the Iowa Central, thus Gaining; an Outlet to the Southern Country. ' NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-A new through route from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, which is expected to rearrange ths railroad map of the west in Important particulars is provided 'for in plans made known to day by Newton Erb, who, with Edwin Hawley, is actively engaged in the under taking. The first step in the project is to bs ths leasing of the Iowa Central railroad to the Minneapolis & St. Louis. The direct ors of the Iowa Central authorised the president of tha road to appoint a com mittee to confer with a similar committee representing the Minneapolis & St. Louis and arrange -the terms - of ths lease. Arrangements also have been made to extend the Iowa Central' to St Louis and the Minneapolis & St. Louts to the Cana dian border, thus giving the Hawley-Erb group of railroads the through route from the wheat fields of northwestern Canada to Galveston. It is expected that both ths Canadian Northern and ths Grand Trunk will connect with the hew extension of the Minneapolis St. Louis. Tha new route also will afford an entrance to Min neapolis and St. Paul for the Canadian Northern. The Iowa Csntral and Minneapolis A St Paul for more than a decade have been under virtually the same management. through ownership of the Iowa Central common stock by the Interests in control of Minneapolis & St. Paul. The leasing of the Iowa Central probably will lead to a merger of the two roads, Mr. Erb said. The laws of Illinois, under which the Iowa Central Is incorporated, he explained. would permit absorption of a leased line. atlhough the merger could not be legal before the lease is made.
