ULSE OF WESTERY PROGRESS ’admion of Indian Reservatiozs the Order of the Day in the West. HROTTLING PRIVATE ENTERPRISE IN COAL \ New York Plan Designed to Wipe Utah from the Map Exhibition—Summary of the Week's Marvelons Electrical Events in the Northwest, The Take Traverse reservation in North nd South Dakota, beionging to the Sisseton nd Wahpeton tribes, was opened to scttle eut on the 15th fnst. An allotment of 160 @cres hias boen made to every member of Ahe band. Under the law it is provided tnat Patents shall not issuo till the settler or ntry man has paid 82,50 for each acre taken Cp by him and the title to the lands shall re ain i the United States until the full Amount hias been paid by the entry mau or fbis logal representative. The balance left #fter the Indians made their selections is es- \Mimated at 700,000, or about 4,000 claims of 00 acres each. This area added to the Sioux lands thrown open a year ago, makes total of 2,500,000 acres taken from the abo igines and given to white setilers. Reduction of reservations is the order of he day throughout the west. The advance 1 popuiation is irresistible, ana the millions f 1d »s yot held by the Indians must ive way to the ever-incremsing encroach E\enu and demands of the whites, Among /the reservations to be reduced in size this Wyear is the Colville Indian reservation, o ated in Stevons and Okanogan counties, in he uortheast corner of the state of Wash. ngton. Itis bounded on the north by the orty.n nth paraliel — the international oundary line—on the west by the Okanogan iver and on the east and south by the Co umbia Its estimatea aroa is 2,500,000 quare acres, or 4,475 square miles—nearly &s large as Coanecticut, four times larger than ithode Isiand, and nbout one-tenth as Jarge as Pennsylvania. This vast territory s inbabited by less than 1.600 people, accord fug to the consus of I18%), of whom 635 a&re gales over 18 years oid The population comprises the remuants of eight tribes, viz, the Colviiles, Lakes, Okano gons, Nespilems, Cotumbias, Methows, San buolls and Chief Joseph's band of Nez Perces, in former yoars one of the most hos tileand troublesome of the Pacific coast tribes. The largest of these tribes, the Olkanogans, numbers but 347 persons all told, aud the smallest, the Nespilems, num- bers but sixiy-soveu.

Owing to the zealous ministrations of the esuits, who estalished a mission near old “ort Colville in the thirties, tho Inaians ave attainod a degroo of intelligence and elvilization far above the average standard, pna the mujority of them are inclined to in ustry and thrift. But, after all, and not- &nlnmnduzn the restraints and discipline of o Jesuit fatters, they are—Indians. 1 A little more than half the reserve, or 1,- 00,000 acres, was ceded to the governmont v For this the govornment agrees to 500,000, build schoolbouses, & black mith shop, & sawmill, furnish necessary in structors and operators, give each Indian over IS yearsold eighty acres of land in soveralty and makospecial grants in casn to gortain chiel The westarn portion of the resorvation is a beautiful, rolling country, but & narrow strip bordering on the Columbia 1s of rugged and mountsinous character, and it abounds in ptreams and fertile valleys. A large portion | ©f the laua is aravle, although probably not bver 500 acres are now under cultivation The most valusble of all the resources of $he resorvation lies in the mineral deposits, f which thero is an appzrently inexhausti- le supply. Notwithstandiug probubitory L-ws and tho strict surveillance of the Indian ——— olice, nnmerous prospectors have sought the interior, thoroughly investigated and rospected the hills and mountains and re. urned with tales of fabulously rich finds of odes of goid, silver und other valuable min- jrais.

Political considerations sporate against New Mexico and Arizona. Nevada, though a state, uas declined in pop- ulation, baving scarcely one-half the poputa- mion of either of the remuming territories, Fn view of these conditions the New York Bun surgests a plan by which the problem may be solved. It Is suggested that the easiern third of Utah be ndded to Colorado ,And the remainder aunexcd to Nevada. The division, it is estimated, would ndd 200,000 people to Nevada's population. Toe Gentilo strength of the western section of Utah muited with Nevada's present strength would, it is belioved, overcomo the Mormon yoting strength. Colorado would not be af i politically by the adgdition of 20,000 ople, mostly Mormons. Thus the Mormon provlem would be disposed of, the people secure state rights, Utah would disappear from the map and Nevada bacome respectable Il 40 size and pepulation. For New Mexico and Arizona it is pro- posed that they stould be united, or ratber reunited, for admission to the union. The former was organized as a territory in 1550 simuitancously with U Arizona was ot organizoa until 184 nopulation of &m Meoxico in 1560 was 153,503, and that of frizona was only 00020, meking togetior 18,213, which would 'bo a very creditable phowing for a single new state. But at this pownt comes in a suggested rec. titication of existing state snd territorial gines. Taking laud surface only, the aren_of Colorado is 103,645 square miles; that of Ne- vada, 109,740; that of Utab, 52,100; thet of Arizoun, 112,020; that of New Mexico, 1 - 460—allof then very mountainous and arid and dependent on irrigation for crops. Of course a state formed of the two latter com- bined would be much larger than either Ne- wada or Colorudo as increasod by a portion of Utab. It is proposed that the eastern lin. Colorado should be extended southward across tho old public land strip called No Man'’s Lano, and is now a part of Oklahoma, and then thewouthern boundary of Colorado should be formed by pursuing westward the southern boundary ot the pablic lana strip #s far as the Colorado river. The irregular northwestern cornor of Arizona on the further side of Colorado would then go to = the part of Utah added to Nevada, the Col- Grado forming the boundary at that point. The simpler elements of the plan, there- fore, wigbt perbaps be wore sausfactory ail sround ely, the division of Utah be- tween Nevada and Colorado and the union ot New Mexico and Arizona. The San Luls Valley and Cresde. To the Editor of Tue Bes: As many of gour readers aro thioking of comiug to Color- &do this season on account of its wonderful sining activity, a short account of the San Luis valloy, which is in the vicinity of Creede, may prove interesting. The San Luls valley comprises portions of Rio Graude, Saguache, Costillo and Conejos. countles, Colorado, and aiso & portion of New Mexico. Its extent is about 100 miles long maud sixty wide. Its aspect is that of a geutly undulatiug plain, Its elimate in wioter is one of cold nights and warm days. Meroury 8t night renges from 10 = below to 10° mbove zero, with occasional lower tempera- ture. Suwmers commence about the 1st of June. The days are cool; mercury rarely risos above 5% i the shade. e sun sbioes warm. Irrigation is vecessary Lo suo- oossful farming. e Rio Grande rive flowing disgonally across the valley from oribwest 10 southed furnishes water for undreds of thousands of acres. 1t is fringed with cottonwood trees. Natural grasses gover much of the valley. They cowprise gramma, bunch, buffalo, wild red top, biue $oint wire grass, wila millet and many other Varicties. Oats, wheat, berley, peas, pota- toes aua all hardy vegetables do well. Mauy pay for their lavd from oue orop. Groase wood is plentiful and supplies a fair fuel. Water is found &t a depth of five w0 toirty feet. The valley is & basin surrounded by wouutains. Artesien water is found st a depib of 100 to 300 feet.

On the night of the 10th lastant, while the muuicipal campaign was &t its height in Butte, Mont., the air was heavily charged with electricity, producing surprising and seasational situations. ery metallio sub- stance seemed to be charged to the nozzle and numerous shocking exhibitions resuited Streaks of biue flame shot along the electric wires. A livery stable on the corner of Galens and Main streets furnished the greatest excitement. The electric cu t not ouly coursed through the entire big buildiug, but charged the sidewalk to such an extent that it was absolutely dangerons for people to walk on it. This fact was first aiscovered by Oficer Hallahan, who was paraging his boat as usual about 3 o'clock, and when right in front of the livery stabl he received a shock that doubled his knees up aud caused him to jump from the sidewalk as though 1t had been red hot. An instant later the whole side of the building gave out a bluish white light, as though it were on fire, but it only lasted for asecond. Everybody in the vicinity noticed the weird illumination and_the excitement became general. Officers Waish and Cant well appeared on the sceno and jolued Officer Hallabian and the three triod to ferret out the mystery. No fallen wire could be found, however, und this made the affair more mys terious than ever. Iu searching for & wire Officer Hallaban happened to touch the building with his hand and was given a shock whi w him nearly across the sidewaik. started to telephone for an electrician, but bad bardly put his foot on the sidewalk before he receivea another severe shock and was compelled to retreat. One of the men started for the street, but was glad 10 go back into the building to escape the current tuat was eiving everybody the shivers and sending the cold chills down their backs. A dog started but no soouner had the emitted some of the most biooa-curdling howls and was about to give up the ghost when ho was dragged back 1ato the saloon The dog was so crazed by the current that he bit his master savagely in the hand as ho was being pulied off the walk. This state of affairs coutinued for sometime amid the greatest excitemeut, but the current tinally abated and it was possible to once mote cross tho sidewalk or touch the building without receiving @ shock in return. The way in which the current was transmitted to the building and from there to the sidewalk is & mystery which canuot be explained even by electricians. c ou current touched him than he Choking Private Enterprise, The recent jugglery of coal rates on the western divisions of the Union Pacific 1s vigorously denouncod by the local press. The raise in freight rates aud reduction in toe price of company coal 4t the munes, virtually shuts out private mme owners from distant markets, just as the company dosigned. The Rock Spriugs Independent says private mine owners had an interview with Superintendent Megeath, and were given the cold shoulder. He chargoed all the private operators with cutting prices. They denied it and offered to pay the expense of an_investigation, but Moegeath refused to entertain the proposition. *Wo thinlk," the Independent, *'it is very bad policy the Union Pacific to arouse the antagon- ism of tae commuritics through which it passes.

Wo believe the head officials of the company do not know what Megeath is aoing, or realizo tho ultimate consequences of his arbitrary actions oo the prosperity of the road.” Wonderfal Montana. The story of the goose that laid the golden eggs may have been & good anecdote in the good old times betore the great west was discovered, asserts the New York Sun, bura story from Butte, Mont., overtops it. A few aays ago, J. A. McConville, who lives in Mootana street, killed one of his chickens for dinner and was surprised to find a quan- tity of gold nuggets in its crop and gizzard. Having thirty-one chickens that had scratched in the same patoh, he bogan post mortem prospecting on them. In each chicken he found nuggets, and the total quantity gathered had a cash value of §357. The gold was sold to the State Natioval bank and pronounced 18 carat fine. Mr. Mc. Conville bought fifty chickens and turned them out to do_scrafch mining on the gold fields surrounding his_hea coop. After four days he_ killed one chicken and mined §2 worth of gold from its crop. ling 0 Monopoly. San Fraucisco continues to pound nway at the Southern Pacific railroad—of course, as yet, without result, for the S n Pacific is possioly the most s v intrenched monopoly on the continent As it is in abso- lute control of every lana approach to San Fraucisco, it will be long before it can be made to believe that its customers dislike monopolistic methods. But people will not consent o bay rates from 100 Lo 200 per ceut as high again as their competitors in busi ness forever, and the remedy is to keep on pounding.
