In speech to the Indian Commission,
Chief Arlee Of the Flatheads asked the
following conundrums: ''Ths white men
make cards and they make whiskey.
They gamble with the cards and they
drink the whiskey. II whiskey and
cards are bad why don't the white people
quit making them? They tell us they
are bad. Why do they make them and
use them? If these things are good and
not bad why will not the white man
allow the Indian to have them? l wish
you to tell mo this"

ORIGIN OF "BLIZZARD."
Something About the Word, Not the
weather.


weather.
o. Bates, editor OF the Northern Vim
dicator published at Baskerville, Iowa,
is credited with being the author of the
word "blizzard" Dan De guile says in
the Enterprise that. Bates may have been
the first to use the word in its present
sense, but "blizzard" is an old word. 1t
was in use half century ago among the
back-woodsmsu Of Ohio to express very
heavy or severe blow with the fist. One
Of those cid rough-and.tumble fighters,
for instance, would say: II gave him
such blizzard in the eye that I knocked
him Blind" or "Look out or I'll knock
you farther into sheol than pigeon can
Fly in q week." or II tuck him such a
blizzard that knocked down his whole
family"

TINE CATTLE KINGS.
Said % be Losing Money ON western
Ranches.

Ranches.
The following, which was telegraphed
from Chicago. is supposed to refer to
Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana, as it
certainly does not apply to Nevada:
The cattle business of the far West is
in bad way. There are surface indica-
items that show conclusively that some.
thing is wrong, but Of the true inward.
ness of the situation very little is known.
The cattle barons are working hard to
close all sources of trustworthy informa-
ton, but such facts az leak out in spite Of
them are meager and incomplete.
Not many years ago well.stocked
ranch was q veritable gold mine. The
public soon discovered the fact, and there
was rush to invest IN cattle herds. So
fast and furious was the craze that cattle
on the hoof were actually worth more on
the ranch than delivered here in Chicago.
The result was that a few shrewd men
made barrels Of money by shipping cattle
from this section of the country to the
Far West. Such cattle were not accli-
mated, and, of course, fell easy victims
to cold and starvation. Further than
this, the eager investors were cheated, OF
cheated themselves, on the count. Sc
anxious were they to purchase that they
took shook count" without waiting fol
the slower and surer tally" and the
true number generally amounted to little
| if any more than 35 per cent. of the snpl
| count. A great many investors hal pen,
all their money. III

following rates-ordinary Alaska at
27s cd to 28s, spring Frazer river and
Skeena fish at 27s Cd to 29s, and Co
lumbia river brands at Bis cd
to 32s Cd per case. Confidence in the
future of the article is 30 great, we
might almost say unbounded, that ex-
tensive sales and purchases have
been made for forward delivery, and
3Os Sd has been paid for new Colum-

kinds. Besides which $4,000 cases
are reported to have bean sold in one
line on terms equivalent to 62s Cd, C.
t. and l., for Alaska fish of prime
quality, and the difficulty at the mo-
ment, is not to find buyers, but to
meet with parties who are willing to
sell good saleable stuff even at these
enhanced rates. There is also an
other interesting fact to observe, and
that is-by reason OF the wide differ.
ence between the value of finest and
inferior brands of salmon, the trade
are tempted to hunt after the latter
more eagerly than the former, and
should they continue to do so it may
not be long ere the quotations fol

column and a half of very creditable
editorial, assumes as its line of argu-
ment that the words tax and tariff and
protection are synonymous; that the
one is equal to and expresses the
other, and that all tariff is just SO
much tax. THE Historian would like
to ask its territorial brother one ques-
ton, and cite one fact. There are
grades of cotton goods ON which there
is a protective tariff duty of six cents
yard, but which, because of the COM
petition produced by protection, sell
as low as six cents yard. That is the
fact. Here is the question. Is that
protective tariff duty a tax?
