Hock Island shop located here the
second In size on the system will
reopen with a full force of employe
June 26. At present 27S men ar
employed fifty having been put to
work within the past three duya.
Owing to the enactment of a law
requiring that all rolling slock used
within the state shall be repaired
within the stnle an enlargement of
the local shops will bo ncessary.
Within the past two months engines

Jim Saunders and Judge I'ltchforil
of Cherokee county havo decided
that bootlegging a business that'lsas
old as the Cherokee nation has got
to be broken up nnd they nru pro.
ceedlng to do It. Hecently the boot-
leggers have grown very bold around
Tnhli'ipiah. Within f-o past few days
thlrty-flvo arrests have been male.
The court has fixed the bond of some
of these men as high as $0000
which of course Is to prevent them
making bond at all and Insuring
their being on hand for trial.

TO EMPLOY
HORSE THIEVES
CROW INDIANS TO RAISE ARMY
HORSES.
Plans Made for Large Breeding Ranch
on Montana Reservation Scarci-
ty of Suitable Military Horses
Demands Such Action.
Washington June 11. To erenle
the best all-round type ot army Iiomh
In the world with the aid of tho
very Indians who lit tho past won for
thomsvhes the reputation of IhMiik
the world's most notorious horse
thieve Is the object of plans elab
orated by the experts of the United
.States war department and the bu-
reau of Indian affairs. It Is n plan
warmly approved by President Roo
volt. Secretary Garfield and Commls-
sloner Leupp and wntemplutoa the
establishment upon the Crow Indian
reservation In Montana of a groat
breeding ranch supervised by army
enrts. but capitalized and worked
by Crows who from time Immemorial
have been the centaurs of tho great
plains the horsemen par excellence
among red men. And It Is n plan
that has the enthusiastic support of
the Crows tjiemselves because it
harmonljte with the traditions of
the tribe and presents civilisation In
a persuasive and attractive manner.
It Is man's work Hint does not do
violence to their half-savago Ideals
and customs. As the scheme prom-
ises to become a largo factor In
solving the great problem of making
the Indian work nnd b'eoino self-
supporting It Is warmly welcomed
by the bureau of Indian affairs which
under Commissioner l.oupp through
the opening or reservations to settle-
ment tluo allotment of lands In
severalty to the Indians and the
abolition of the old ration regime is
rapidly advancing tho day when the
long-vexatious Indian question will
he simply a matter of historical' lm.
iHirtance. Senator Joseph M. DIxou
of Montana Is the patron of tho
bill which has received the favora-
ble consideration of the senate com-
mute on Indian affairs.
The hlppologlcal census of the
world gives a total of about 1(1000-
000 horses and yet every year It
grows Increasingly dllllcult for t
United tSates army to get. even at
prohibitive prices tho needed inn-
her of horses of tho proper standard
to supply the remount needs of Its
skeleton military establishments. And
the same dllllculty. but In a larger
and more critical proportion presentH
Itself to tho great war powers of
Europe. The scarcity of tho stand-
ard typo of army horso Is world-
wide.
Tho problem of tho army horse
for cavalry artillery engineers and
supply trains when vlowej under tho
conditions that would arise In n mod-
ern war is a seriously vital olio.
If an army moves on Its stomach
Its power of effective mobility de-
pends upon the strength aud endur-
ance the stamina and staying qual-
ities of the horses to fill the fighting
stomnchs; niton tho horses that bring
up the ammunition trains that whirl
the heavy wagons up steep hills to
commanding position! or carry
hordes of cavalrymen over heart-
breaking roads on long grueling
marches. It is tho leuson taught by
recent wars that other things be-
ing equal victory Is a question of
horseflesh livery great power with
the possible exception of Russia Is
today confronted by tho army horse
and the service Journals of Ktirope
voice Increasing alarm at tho grow-
ing dllllcultles of tho situation. Dur-
ing Croat Britain's war with tho Ho-
ers In South Africa tho machinery
for mount and remount supply at
homo nnd In her colonies collapsed
at tho first test of the war and be-
foro tho conflict ended practically
every civilized country was drawn
upon to supply tho deficiency of the
empire In horsoflosh qualified for
service In tho victorious army that
crushed tho llfo out of tho Hoor re-
publican army that was 95 per cent
mounted nt the tlmo of tho surrender
horses from Siberia tho steppes of
European Russian .(Germany and
Franco rubbed noses and clashed
hoofs with horses from tho groat
plains of America thu pampas ot
tho Argontlno and from Australia.
It probably was tho greatest com-
parative test of horsoflosh tho world
has ever scon and It Is tho tefM.
mony of tho British cavalry oxpotit;
that tho Amorlcan-brcd horso and
mulo proved themselves tho best qual-
ified for all-round army service.
Hut it is not alono In tlmo ot war
that the dilllciilti. s of tho .--li nation
ale felt (iermaii) France Austria-
Ilungiay and Tlroat HrlUiln for sev
eral ears have had trouble In secur
ing an adequate supply of qualified
hiiiws to meet tho demands of
their armies on a peace footing. Ho.
cent reports of the quartermaster
general's department of tho United
Slates army show soaring prices
nnd groat dllllculty in finding stand
ard animals for tho service. To meet
the exigencies of the situation Ger-
many France Austria-Hungary and
Russia are developing elalnirate sy-
teum of breeding establishments nml
remount stations with provision for
bettering tho quality mining the
slandnrd and Increasing the availa-
ble supply. Crent Britain as yet has
not profited by tho lessons of the
Itoer war but her army experts keep
hammering away on various plain
with Indications that British senti-
ment Is awaking to the necessities
of tho situation.
In the United States the question
of a great natlonnl breeding establish-
inenl for the purHso ot supplying
the army with horses ot a type per-
fectly adapted to Hie needs of the
service has been under considera-
tion for a niimbe rot years. It has
been dltcussed In a number of the
reports ot the quartermaster general.
Major Francis H. Wolcott has given
the matter long and patient Investiga-
tion and his recommendations are
being urged uihhi congress by Senator
Joseph M l)on of Montana. In be--balf
