The Benton Record of tine oath Inst. has
the following: '.Tom OIIanIon says the
traditional aversion to mammal labor is fast
disappearing among the Indians on Milk
river about Belknap. Under Major Lincoln's
wise management it has come about that the
bucks are now willing to do all kinds of
labor at the agency without feeling that they
are making squaws of themselves. A great
change in this respect is Noticeable in the last
few years. Major Lincoln has had bet ween
$50 and 200 acres Of land ploughed mp, and
the Indians have planted it in corn and pota-
toes, each Indian who may wish it being
allotted a certain number of rows, from
W hich he takes the products. They have
taken hold of their farming venture with
much interest, and can be seen industriously
at work all times Of day, spading and hoeing.
Squaw labor is discouraged. Agriculture is
fast growing in popularity among the Indians,
now that they have tested its merits as
against those of their former methods of
getting a livelihood.

Exposure and Death In the Snow.

OK Thursday, December 30, at 1:50 p. m.
Mr.. Silas C. Lowe left here on foot to take
messages up to the steamer John Gates, at
Simmons Landing, distance about twelve
miles. He passed our section in good spirits.
Two Indians going from here for Wallula were
some distance ahead of him and broke the path
for him. It seems that he went within about
three miles of the steamer and then turned
back. Nothing was heard of him until yester-
day about one p. M, when Messrs. Roach and
Anderson came down from the Gates. After
walking about three miles this way
they saw blood on the trail and sprinkled
along on the snow and places where the snow
was stamped down as if a person had been
crawling and rolling in IT. They saw where he
had walked from the railroad track out to a
telegraph pole, evidently to get kindling to
make fire. They found matches in one place
where he had tried to make fire. They came
on until within six miles of this place, where
they found Mr.. Lowe lying in the snow and in
q dying condition. He was just gasping for
breath. His hands were bleeding. The skin
was torn from his fingers and hands in several
places, which suppose he did In trying to get
sage brush to make fire, as he had no knife
with him. Mr.. Roach came on into town as
fast as possible to bring the news, and as soon
rs heard it ordered our little switch engine
TO 70 out and bring him in. We took q box
car and dozen citizens. We were detained
some time by the snow on the track about .
foot deep. We arrived there about fifteen
minutes to two and found him dead. Cor. Port
