= Another delegation Of Cur fragrant
friends from the Pine Ridge Agency,
came in Tuesday en- route to Spring
creek for more teepe poles, which seem
to be still in good demand and will
doubtless 90 continue until the supply,
which is rapidly decreasing, is finally
exhausted. We are informed that these
poles are worth a dollar apiece on the
reservation. and, at this figure, the reds
will be enabled, through the efforts OF
the squaws, who do all the work, to
make a goodly sum during the season,
which will, of course, be pleasing to the
government, of which they are the for
tunate and happy wards. 1t isapparent
that our red brothers have no respect
or regard for the fat mans forestry
order, in which respect they do not
differ materially with the whites, who
seem to regard it as nothing more than
a huge. high sounding joke. which Is too
ridiculous in character to be seriously
considered.
