Indlaa Progress in Montana.

SAYs the Daily Independent, of Hele.
M, Montana: The Blackfeet, Bloods
and Piegans, on the northern border Of
our Territory, have entered the wedge
of preparation for the change required
by the fast wasting supply of buffalo.
For three years past all the labor at
their Agency, such as cutting and haul.
ing firewood, assisting at the putting in
and saving Of the crops on the Agency
farm, etc., has been done by them. All
tho fences around the Agency were con.
structed by Indian labor solely. They
inclosed more than 500 acres OF land.
About forty heads of families have aban-
doned their roaming habits, built log
cabins and now cultivate small farms.
While seed potatoes were so scarce and
high in price last spring, one Indian,
Running Crane, had enough remaining
after winter use to supply with seed all
his brother Indian farmers. Potatoes,
turnips and carrots are their favorite
| crops. Last autumn, on one of the
..issue' days at the Agency, when the
Indians were all gathered there, an In:
dian drove his wagon to the gate loaded
with the produce Of bis farm, and then
in true Yankee peddling fashion, sole
ont by measure to the assembled crowt
his potatoes. turnips and carrots. Th'
taste for cabin building and living ~
the white man does" is spreading among
them, and in some of the valleys Their
is almost . village. To add to This tn
Department has sent saw.mills, now il
course of erection, SO that the necessar
lumber may be had. The children with
in reach Of the Agency attend school
, Of which they are very fond-and max
fair progress. Several can read an
. perform very creditable examples
arithmetic. In speaking English. als'
, there is . great change. Formerly NJ
word Of English was to be heard nov
around the Agency, "Open the door,
, "Uome to school," ''Where are you g
ingp'' "Come in" ETC., are commonl
heard.

Was it inexplicable to Sophy Morris?
Hardly, for did not her mind instantly
fiy back over those twenty years to that
ever.memOrable time, and could she
no, see in those inde6nable imaginings
in her sons mind possible solution OF
the mystery surrounding her husbands
fate? Might it not be that the marvel.
Gus and unseen working Of human
destiny had guided the son at last to the
fathers unknown grave? that the
strange sensations, the awe, the gladness,
the irresistible automatic impulse to
liuqcr in the wood, which he described;
the readiness with which he interpreted
the wailing Of the wind into direct,
articulate and whispered appeal ''to
wait''-to wait till the discovery was
msde-were traceable to the link exist
ing between that vigorous young life
and those moldering remains, and with
out which, when they, too, were en-
lowed with life and vigor. her young
Ronald would never have had his being:
Her hope was strong that all
this might prove SO, and it was
realized. In the end no doubt remained
for among the relics her boy had recov
