Two thou sand Cherokee Indians, for the most part full bloods, are livinfr today in a corner of the North Carolina moun tains, forgotten by the people of the east.

The Indians in must cases are living today in log houses, it occurred to Commissioner Sells tli.ii this condition could be bettered. T.'i.- labor was at hand, the material growing on the hill-sides for lumber. So he suggested to the Indians that it would be a good Indian Territory, now part of Okla- plan to have a portable sawmill, which noma, own 63,000 acres In Swain' could lie moved readily from place to county, X.

This them for their own Improvement and will be done at a cost of $2,000, which rtevelopment. It is said that he is the j the Indians will pay back to the de flrst Indian commissioner to Inspect I pnrtment. This was the second of Mr. Sells' Ideas fur the improvement of the Indians' living conditions. Stock Streams With Fish. Through the valleys of the Indian lands run broad streams, fed from the' Uon of lace making with a wealthy woman In New York and she has agreed to provide a teacher for the Indiana at her own expense, who will give them Instruction for thirty days and at the same time Instruct some of the government teachers on the In dian reservation who will be able to carry on the Instruction of the In dians In the future. The Indians living In North Carolina are "good citizens," according to Mr. Serls, , "I didn't see a blanket Indian among them," said Mr. Sells. "They nearly all speak English, though the Chero kee tongue is in common use. One thing which struck me Is that there are no missionaries among the In dians. They are Christians and prac tically all members of the Baptist church. They have preachers of their own who preach to them in the In dian language. They are peaceable and crime Is at a minimum among them." Indian Schools. The government owns some seven or eight hundred acres of land which is the Indian reservation adjoining the property held by the Indians them selves. On the reservation are located schools for the boys and girls and for the young men and young women. The superintendent is James E. Hen derson, who hails from the adjoining I county, Haywood, and is of Scotch Irish descent, himself a hill man. Mr. Henderson, who has proved himself a capable superintendent of an Indian reservation appointed by Commis sioner Sells after he came into office a year and a half ago. When the Cherokees purchased their land in North Carolina back in 1S42 the deal was accomplished through W. H. Thomas, who had long been a trader among the Indians In that part of the country. Incorpora tion under the laws of North Carolina followed, and the Indians' property became a communal affair, to be al ! lotted by them to the members of the ; tribe. A eouncil elected by the In ! dians themselves is the governing body, and they also choose a tribal chief and assistant chief. The present chief is Saunooke, a full blood Indian about 40 years old, a graduate of Car lisle, and, an Ideal man for the place. The governing board, or council, con sisting of nine men, is chosen every two years. The North Carolina Indians, like the white mountaineers of the southern mountains, lead primitive lives in many ways. They have no bridges across their streams for wagons, thousrh thev have the old-fashioned swinging foot bridges that sway with every, step a person takes, rords are used for the wagons. And their haul ing and farming Is done not with horses but with oxen. Just as .'n the case with many of the white moun taineers in that section. The scenery In the mountains there Is beautiful. Help at Little Cost Commissioner Sells commented on the fact that the plans which are be ing developed to help the Indians to better things do not mean a large out lay, of money on the part of the gov ernment; In fact, the expense attached to them will be practically nothing. On the government reservation .itself Mr. Sells also planned a number of needed improvements In conjunction with the superintendent. He is anx ious to have the reservation produce all the butter and eggs and vegetables which are needed to feed the 160 or more Indian children who attend the school there, and finding that it does not, Mr. Sells mapped out a plan for clearing some of the timber to make more 'land for crops; he planned for a more modern dairy, and for a new hennery und for a duck farm. A new hospital to care for the Indians also has been planned by the commis sioner. Mr. Sells spent hours talking over hip plans with the Indians themselves. "They are Intelligent and dignified, and I found that they were eager to carry out plans for the betterment of the tribe," said Mr. Sells. At present the numbers of the tribe remain about p , . Whv Wish and Wait? Wm personally the reservation and to dis cuss with the Cherokees themselves their problems. ChorokcvH to Itaiso Apples. While the Indiana hold CP.. 000 nerw of land, it Is not all tillable, by any i mountains. The waters are clear as ,np samp- cnanging nine rrom year to mwir.s. Located in a beautiful moun- i crystal, hut they are almost devoid of enr. though some of the Indians go tain country, much of the land is rug- fish. The government is constantly ged. Commissioner Sells learned that ! stocking streams In various parts of the conditions there are Ideal for ap- the country with fish, and Commis ple growing. And right then he dc-jnlon?r Sells called upon the '"tilted veloped the first of his ideas for aiding States fish commissioner and learned the Indians. Much of the land owned ' that these streams running through by the Indians could be used for apple orchards; a splendid market for the apples lies not more than 150 miles away, at Atlanta, Ga. Ho Commis sioner Sells got into communication With the department of agriculture and made arrangements to have the Indians supplied with a great quantity of seedlings for apple orchards It is estimated that the Indians on the land which now is not of much use to them the Tndian' lands could be cared for along with the other streams at a minimum cost. Steps are now being taken to have the streams stocked. The fourth big plan for the benefit of the Indians developed by Mr. Sells on his trip to North Carolina Is to teach the Indian women and girls lace making. They are very clever at mak ing baskets and weaving some kinds of cloth. So Mr. Sells took up the ques away to seek a living In other parts of the country. TENNIS TOURNEY IN Will Start On Y. M. C. A.
