BUCKET BRIGADE ON
RESERVATION IS NO MORE
SANTA ROSA. Cal.. Nov. 30.—The
\ bucket brigade among the Indians in
j the McDowell valley reservation near
i here will soon be discharged with
| thanks. For years the brigade brought
all of the water to the reservation
from several large springs near by,
but to the Indians, many of whom are
fairly well educated, this method is
too primitive. They have now se
cued 6,000 feet of pipe and a 100 gal
Ion tank from the government, and
are busy installing their own watei
system, with the fluid piped to eacl
“tepee,” as the Indians insist on call
! ing their reservation homes.

PEJTROGRAD, Nov. £0—(By main
—Efforts of the family of Nicholas
Romanoff, the deposed emperor, to
live in seclusion in Tobolsk, Siberia,
and the curiosity displayed by the
Tobolsk natives toward the former
royal family of Russia, was described
by a correspondence of the Novo
Vremya writing from the Siberian
city to which the Romanoffs were
sent, it was because of ihis curios
ity on the part of the people that the
former emperor and his family were
transferred to the Abolak monastery,
fourteen miles from Tobolsk.
I
The Romanoffs occupied in Tobolsk
the house of the governor, which was
I guarded by soldiers day and 'night.
I in the day time, the Romanoff child
! ren were often seen sunning them
I selves oil the balcony and reading
: books, one in a little white hat and
1 the other with uncovered head show
j ing the short hair cut after an at
! tack of typhoid fever. Generally a
' few curious persons leaned against
i the palings of the fence surrounding
I the governor’s house watching what
j transpired within but not interfering
| with the inhabitants. A special gate
I had been constructed Teading from
I the house to the garden but the child
ren seldom used it as they were shy
J of meeting the Tobolsk public. This
■ garden was small but full of beauti
‘ ful flowers. Other members of the
! Romaaoti family occasionally strolled
j through this little garden.
Not long after thc royal exiles ar
rive^ in Siberia, instructions were
received from Petrograd directing
that the municipal garden be- placed
at their disposal and that a passage
be constructed through it to' the. near
by church so that the Romanoffs
could attend divine service. The gar
den was ordered to be closed to the
public while the Romanoffs used it.
When the former emperor, his wife
and children went To the church re
cently, a great number of people gath
ered outside the gates of the govern
or’s house to wafeh their passage.
A gutyd of soldiers lined the street.
The former Empress, Alexandra Alix,
was wheeled In a chair to the gate of
the garden, dressed in gray and wear
ing a small black hat. She appeared
ill or exhausted. Behind walked Nich
olas in mlltary dress, and behind him
the former crown prince walking be
tween his two elder sisters. Then
followed the other two sisters and
the former royal suite, all walking
with hurried steps and lowered heads
trying to avoid the gaza of the pub
lie. On reaching ihe sate leading
from the municipal garden Alexandra
Alix rose and, together with Nicho,
las hurriedly crossed the street ,and >
j entered the church.
