A grove of trees surrounding a large fish- pond is a pretty feature of the premises. Lo-lo, who lives near the Government sawmill, a few miles east of the mis- sion, has possessions in live stock and cash to the amount of $10,000. Chief Wildshoe is worth $6,000, and others have from $1,500 to $5,000. The great age reached by a number of these people is a matter of interest. Father Caruana, of l)e Smet mission, says that Charles, who died there a few years ago, was not less than 120 years old. He was totally blind years be- fore his death, and was waited on by his daughter, who died later, deaf and blind, at the age of ninety years. Coo- Na-Cha, a Coeur d'Alene squaw, died recently at the age of ninety-six years, and \'ictoria, of the same tribe, is sup- posed to be in her ninetieth year. Scam- tal-am-to, a Spokane squaw, who lives on the reservation, is ninety-one years old. There are several others past the four-score period. It is announced by James W. Witten, superintendent of the opening, who will arrive at Coeur d'Alene on July 5, that no charge will be made for registration, but at the time of making entry in April, 1910, persons who take lands in the Flathead reservation must pay one- third of the appraised value, and those who apply for cither Coeur d'Alene or Spokane lands must pay one-fifth of the value. The remainder may be paid in five equal annual N^'- 'X:-s>ift. â W" Coaveyance of Water for Irrigation in Stave Pipes. Old Flume and New Redwood Slave Pipe Replacing It, Redlands Canal, California.
