AMONG THE HALF-BREEDs.

The village of wooden cabins contained
| perhaps three or four hundred half-breed
altogether, who were on our side of thu
boundary line. Thesewere mainly half
Scotch, and one had almost to do violence
to his senses to realize that these men and
women of fair hair and high compilations
with Scottish features and blue eyes could be
Indians Indeed, they had little in COM
mon with Indians in appearance or customs,
except that they led for part of the year the
complete life of the nomadic tribes. Many
of them were handsome, especially the women
and all are capable of belonging to and en-
joying much higher condition of life.
In 1919 they seemed to have neither law
nor government except such as they estab-
lished and made themselves, but they are a
quiet, peaceable people, and rarely had any
quarrels or dissension among themselves.
Those of whom / saw the most were hunters
for Mr.. Kittson, and, of course, were much
under his influence. To this fact they no
doubt owed much of their immunity from
lawless or violent acts, as Mr.. klttson was
man of fine sense and good Judgment, and
was SO cool and collected in disposition that
he exercised wonderful control over the half
breeds around him, as we had abundant OPP
portunity to hear from their own lips.
The great body of the half-breeds, how
ever, French and English, were found in
large settlements about fifty miles lower down
on Red River, at the mouth of the Assinni-
boin, where the Hudson's Bay Company's
post, Fort Garry, was established. Until re-
Gently all supplies. as well as people for that
region, were brought in the Companys ships
by way of Hudson's Bay, but it was as mani
fest then as it is now that all that region of
country must in future find its outlet by way
Of Lake Superior and the Mississippi.

a FEW WORDS IN DEFENSE.
A Veteran Who Objects to Some of G. A.
Danx's Criticisms

l
Editor National Tribune: The papers by
| the late Charles A. Dana, entitled "Hem1-
niscences of Men and Events of the Civil
| War;" whose publication in Mcclure
| Maya zine was recently completed, while
they contain much that is of value and
| interest, portions of them do great in
justice to the memory and character ol
| some of our best and most distinguished
Union officers.
| Many old Union officers and soldiers
have read certain passages of these let
| tiers with pain and resentment and with
regret that they were ever published,
| especially after Mr.. Dana'S death, when
| he could not be confronted with demands
| for their truth.
| In the "Reminiscences" of the Vicks-
burg campaign are many instances IN
point of Mr.. Dana's incorrect estimates
and unjust criticisms of some among the
worthiest of the Union leaders. He makes
very many of our most faithful and eff
cient commanders the subjects OF dis
paTagement, animadverSlOn and cenSure.
OF Gen. p. j. Osterhaus, than whom
there was never more energetic officer
or savage fighter, and who entered the
service a Major and came out a Major
General, Mr.. Dana wrote; "On the battle
field he lacks energy" etc. Now, from
Wilson's Creek, under Lyon, in 1861, to
Bentonville, under Sherman, in 1865, Gen.
OsteThaus had a command in nearly
score OF DdLtieS, ana was always uoIeu loI
activity and energy in conflict. In the
Vicksburg and Atlanta campaigns he was
especially distinguished. 1t was his di
vision which did the hardest part OF the
work storming Lookout Mountain, an
operation requiring more energy than any
thing else. He commanded the Fifteenth
Corps on Shermanls March to the Sea,
and no writer besides Mr.. Dana ever said
he lacked energy anywhere.
OF Gen. A. j. Smith, another very in
telligent and efficient leader, Mr.. Dana
writes that his "head is rather thick,
and that he should not be entrusted
with any important command above that
of division" Yet Gen. Smith became
Major General, was given command OF the
Sixteenth Corps, was regarded as the
savior of Gen. Banks's army on the III
fated Red River expedition, and led his
corps and other Independent commands
on several occasions to the great, advan-
tage of the Union cause. This chick
headed" officer commanded in dozen
battles and was never defeated. He was
the only General that ever fairly and
thoroughly whipped Gen. Forrest. The

TH. Arizona Gazette is always finding roorbacks. In it's issue Of last Wednesday it says. "The Brodie campaign managers have evidently money to spend, as they are distributing 10000 buttons throughout the territory. Buttons cost money." Great Wilson," THE OASIS man has lot of but tons of his two boy kids-aged four and seven respectively which cost only three cents each in a small quantity, and which will be given to anyone agreeing to wear them. If poor newspaper folks can afford to buy such things to amuse their kids, surely a great political party can honor its cal didate in the same way. If it is too poor to do it it is to poor to do the public business.

THE democratic candidates, in their meeting in the park Saturday, Oct. IS, one and all registered very great kick at the exorbitant print ing bills charged the county. Now all such bills have been allowed by democratic board of supervisors, and if there was anything wrong in them the democratic adminis- tration is at fault. The facts are that on county printing there has been so much cut throat work done in bidding that the Citizen has monopolized the business because the Star, the Vidette nor THE OASIS would not come to or below the prices offered by the Citizen. When people-whether candidates or otherwise-talk about exhorbit- ant prices tor pubic printing they don't know of what they bloviate. In California, in two different counties, THE OASIS editor has re- ceived for public printing double the prices paid in Pima county during the past twelve years. From the point of view of THE OASIS the democratic administration of public affairs in Pima county has endeav- ored to make amends for public robbery elsewhere by robbing the printing fraternity of their just dues

\ MARES NEST.

The Arizona Gazette has discov- ed a mares nest and cackles there at like a bullet advertising her first egg. and all the rest of the cackling brood of the democratic poultry yard are echoing the cry. It IS that republicans are fixing to trade of their local tickets in order to elect Brodie and a republican legis- lature, SO should statehood be granted the legislature can elect two republican senators. The rid iculousness of the cry IS apparant when it is reflected that the terri torial legislature cannot nor will not elect United States senators, even though congress granted statehood on the first Monday in December. When a state is creat- ed congress empowers the people of of territory to frame state con stitution and state government. which they do by electing a con stitutional convention. Then the constitution so framed is submitted to the people for approval. At the same election when they vote upon approval they elect a state government and legislature, and that legislature when assembled elects United States senators. When the Gazette asserted that the ter ritorial legislature can elect sena- tors it either was ignorant or 1t wilfully counted upon the ignor- ance of its readers; and the demo- cratic papers circulating the asser- ton are likewise ignorant or will ful.

WHAT a wonderful metamor- phasis fighting for the flag will make in man. Rough Rider J. (. Goodwin, of Tempe, says he "went to the war a democrat and came back all American. He supports Brodie.

YELLOW journalism and demo- cratic falsehood have made the Spanish believe that the United States sent to Cuba and Porta Rico lot of feather bed soldiers who cannot fight, and they are becoming stiff necked in their negotiations. In the next war newspaper cores pondents should be prohibited from following the army, and every time press dispatch boat steams within range of a naval vessel she should be sunk. The modern newspaper correspondent with an army is more damaging to military operations than the spies of the enemy.

secretary conferred closely with not on

officers at the camps, but especially
with the is colonies whom he met, look
ing to the entertainment of their views
upon the relative merits of the division
hospital and the regimental hospital
Each had strong advocates, and II re-
manned for the secretary to endeavor to
reconcile their divergent views. The de-
feet of the division hospital in the mind
Of the soldiers is the separation of the
soldiers Of the same regiment, causing
great discomfort, low spirits and dis
enlargement. The men will often go to
great lengths to conceal real illness in
order to escape being sent to the hos
pital. Against the regimental hospital
it Is urged that the men cannot be
properly taken care of with troops on

with lack of every sanitary and med

were the complaints of neglect and in
sufficient accommodations for the sick

regimental hospitals in the early stages

Many of the Objectionable features OF
these can be removed in times of peace,
as at present, when the troops are not
so subject to sudden changes Of loca-
ton as when in the field of war.

relative merits and dement's Of the two
plans. Secretary Alger has framed a
project which he now has under con-
sideration for the amalgamation Of the
hospitals in such manner as to retain
the most desirable features of both His
plan is to have the division hospital ar
ranged in sections OF tents. lying in
wings branching off from a central aisle.
These can be very easily made by the
use of a few flies and a proper connec-
ton Of the common A tents. Then the
sections are to be allotted to the differ
ent regiments in the division, each in
care of one Of the regimental doctors,
yet receiving the attention of the high
class talent and female nursing which
IS possible only in the big division hos
pitfalls. In this way the men would pre-
serve the individuality of their COM
mands. and the idea may be carried out
so far as to subdivide the sections into
smaller sections' assigning one to each
company in the regiment, and thus en-
abling the sick men to make sure Of
falling in with their mates when they
go to the hospital.
Secretary Alger believes that the SOL
diers would thus be reconciled to going
