Allen, of the United States Indian Industrial school in this city, has Just submitted his annual report to the interior de partment. The report Is very com plete and has to deal with the work of the school and the progress of the various pueblos under his supervision. The report shows that the school in this' city has grown in the past few years from a comparatively small in STATES INDIAN (This cut does INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL, ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. not Include recent improvements.) for all domestic uses and for irrigat ing the entire farm. There are about thiity buildings, all told, at the plant. Some of them are In good condition, others are old and should be condemned. During the past 'year an adobe blacksmith shop 3tixti) i tcet, with a good tin roof and cement I floor, was constructed. It has four i excellent forges and is fairly well equipped for instructing pupils in the same size, with a coat of cement inside and out and an excellent tin roof. The shop gives ample facilities for carrying on carpenter work. I Water for domestic purposes is ob tained by means of a small steam pumping plant, but it is inadequate for in gating extensively. The school is lighted by electric current, furnished by the Albuquerque (ias, Klectric Light 4: rower company, at a eont of Jibuti per annum. It is heated by the or dinary coal and wood stoves; 7(U tons of coal and 73 cords of wood will be required lor the year lSm;. .

I'""-" . -""V progress of the pueblos under the tutelage of the government's agents and teachers has been very marked, and at no Bchool linder government control does Uncle Sam's wards re ceive better treatment or more thor ough training. During the past year the school 'nas made a fine showing, and too much credit cannot be given Superintendent Allen for the efficient tnaiuier in which he has conducted the school. In addition, he is assisted by a corps of carefully trained and courteous teacheis, who are heroes to the cause of educating their more unfortunate brother, the red man The report, which is .printed below, gives a clear and interesting account of the conditions and progress of the pueblos, and goes into detail atKtut all matters pertaining to the school : The Report. The Albuqueique Indian school is located two and one-balf miles north and we.st of Albuquerque, and is on a farm consisting of tit! acres. It is poor agricultural land, being impreg nated with alkali. There lias been a dilliculty in securing an outlet for the drainage, as a portion of the proirj.sed outlet crosses the western part of the city of Albuquerque. A proposi tion has been made to the authorities to connect the drainage system with the city rewciage, which is now un der consideration. aI)il will probably be secured, which will enable the school to entry out the pioject. The want of water for irrigation has pre vented larming and gardening to any couhidi ruble extent. which can be remedied only by securing a pumping plant for the school. An appiopria tion ot H.uiiii was includeu in the last Indian approptiatiou bill for improv ing In'' water system at this nhool. If this fund can ne used tor the in stallation of a pumping plant located On tlit- lai'iii, li Mill be amine fur fur inking a mflicient amount of water Tlie total enrollment for the year was 3"i7 and the average attendance 340; of tins number, were full- blood Indians and 32 mixed blood. There were 21'J I'uebloR. 127 Navajos, h Apaches, 7 Papago, 1 Shawnee and 1 Wyandotte. The greatest number of the pupils were desirable, and little discontent was manifested by them dining the entire" year. The progress made in the school room has been good, notwithstanding tt.at many of the pupils were fresh from the camps. An additional teat t.re of the liti rary work has been the establishment of a printing otlice. it is imposed to publish monthly a small hc'nool paper, also to do such ntiscel la.ieous printing as the school may re quiie. The object of this undertaking wi'l be to teach the Indian boys print ing, not so much for the sak of mak ing printers, but for the benefits de rived in the way of acquiring Kng lisli. spelling, punctuation, etc. O - J The Industrial work accomplished I at the school has been very gratify ing to the management. The two large adobe buildings constructed re quired sevei al thousand udobe bricks, which were made and laid by the pu pils. The advance made by the boys In the blacksmith and carpenter shops has been very satisfactory, illusti ai ling thai Indian youths can ami do ac quire skill in the handling of tools, as well as in habits of Industry. It is proposed next year to add to the industrial work cabinet making. During the year at vaiious times, there have been 66 male and 8 fe male pupils outing. In October and November of lat year, a company of 30 lioys were sent to the beet fields at Rocky Ford, Colo., and on the 19th of May, 1905, 52 were again sent to the same place, a few were sent out to work on the railroad and two or three for farmers. Eight girls were out for a short period as domestics. The total net earnings, after all ex penses were paid, was about $2,350. A new roadway, sixty feet wide, ex tending from the southeast corner of the school grounds in an easterly di rection, to Fourth stieet, has been se cured. The land for the right of way was purchased and paid for by the citizens of Albuquerque. The county commissioners have declared the road open. Contracts have been made for secur ing additional lain) on the south and on the east of the school grounds : p.oper, w hich will permit the exten sion of the lawns around the plant. There are under the supervision of the superintendent of the Albuquer que Indian school, six pueblos, name ly: Acoma, I.aguna, Isleta, Sandia. Santa Ana and San Felipe, also the Navajos at Canon Cita, N. M. The reservation comprises land as follows: ir,3,niMi acres are hilly, 45, 111111 level and bottom land; 2mii,iio:i open; 45.000 arable; !5.ooy grazing, t mostly poor); uo.noo barren. There are no limber lands. Probably 35.OU0 acres can be irrigated by constructing wains unit reservoirs on the Sail Jose Iieedi creek, also by storage batteries or ervoiis catch basins 111 differ nt canons. artesian wells, if these should a succens. 1 here are const ructe, in operation, 4 1" miles of ditches enung .1.1 iamines. The character of the soil Is as fol lows: 100,01111 acres sandy; Ml.oot) sandy and clayey; lo.oiio , av BO 1 There is considerable alkali In the soil, but not enough to injure the gen eral ci ops. There are no fences on agency tract, ,m there are 22J-. miles on Indian farms, namely: 12 of wire, ."'a of picket and 5 of stone. They are in fair condition for about eight miles, while 1 1 a miles are rather poor. There e:e in operation at this agency last year, nine day schools; one at San Felipe, one at Isleta, two for the Acomas and five for the I,a gunas. I The San Felipe Indians are opposed to schools. They -will not patronize even a day school, without some pres sure. The Sandia Indians have a very small school population; a few of these have been enrolled in Catholic schools. The Santa Ana Indians 'have placed nearly all their available children of school age. In the Albuquerque school. The Isletas have a large school pop- ulation, but have not availed them-i selves of the opportunity of educat ing their children. About one-third have been enrolled in the day school, Albuquerque school and the Catholic school at Bernalillo. ' Only a small portion of the I.aguna children of Bchool age, remained ouc last year. ! The Acomas are somewhat indiffer ent as to school tiaiuing, but have been induced to place a portion of their children in the day schools. J Referring to the Pueblo Indians, in his report, Mr. Allen says: There shoujd be some provision made for I providing water for Irrigation for these people, particularly the hagunas and Acoiua-s. Kach of these have a sultl cit ni quantity of agricultural land to provide for their wants if they were supplied with water for nigation. The small stream, San Jose, flows from the west across the Acoma and I.a guna pueblos, but even in a normal year there is insufficient water. The Acomas, living upon the upper por tion of tills stream, secure more than their share, thereby often depriving the I.aguna of water when most I. There should be storage res- ilong this river for collecting or by j and holding the water during the prove: rainy season, or there should lie two d and I or t hree pumping plants installed for ben this puriKise.
