INDIAN WAS NOT HEATHEN
In His Primitive State II Weird,
Strange Way He worshiped
a God.

Charles Gibson disputes the
assertion that the primitive Indi-
an is a heather, says the Laasas
City Journal. Says Mr.. Gibson:
The Indians green corn dances
are looked upon as wild, savage
proceedin@, Ddt in reality these
annua festivities are a species of
reTIgIUH. me frruruir n more T,,'i-i-
Gus. soLer and on good behavior
at a musk than at any other time.
The reason for these annual
festivities is the ripening of corn,
which is two-fhirds of an Indians
living. When he has corn in his
crib he has plenty to live on.
These dances were originally held
at the ripening of all fruits. In
fact, il was the custom to cele-
brate and in a simple way give
thanks TO the Great Spirit for
granting the privilege of feasting
upon the fruits of nature. The In
dian has always in his simple way
worshiped God.
The square grounds wherein
these ceremonies are carried on
are very sacred, when the customs
ar carried out properly. For in
stance, a drunken man is not al
lowed inside the tucho, as the
dance ground is called. No loud
talking or boisterous person is
allowed to come within the
grounds; furthermore, no woman
with a clouded reputation is al
lowed to come into the grounds
night or day. The ceremonies are
very sOlemnly carried out and no
foolishness is allowed. 1t is also
a custom not to allow any four
footed animal to come about the
place, as they are looked upon as
unclean.
THE man, woman or boy who
had eaten green corn before these
ceremonies were concluded was
not allowed to take part at the
'husk,' as their taking a hand
would destroy the great virtues
to be received from the Great
Spirit. The person who ate green
corn before the black drink was
administered at the regular 'husk'
was considered a backslider."

MATCHMAKING IN THIsET.
Sort Of Marketing System Which
Supplies the Matrimonial
Problem.

A prominent English woman
who has just returned from Thi.
bet says that the people of that
country have long solved the ques.
ton which has been causing much
discussion in England for years,
says London report.
In the Lama country, she says,
you hear no cry: "Why don't men
propose~
Every girl is married and old
maids are unknown. The match
making place, or the "shambang,"
as it is called, is a low hut, gen
orally situated midway between
two villages where maidens and
young men in every class of life
congregate around small fires
which they kindle themselves.
If a man is attracted by a Ger.
tain girl he invites her and her
relatives to partake of the warmth
around his fire. This is taken as a
gentle hint that he is thinking of
proposing.
The. parent very seldom if ever
visits the "shambangs." The girls
spin, assisted by the men, tell
stories and sing until they tire.
When a man has made his choice
he dresses in his best and takes
wine and food to the parents of
the girl he has chosen.
If his suit is approved his food
is eaten and his wine is drunk and
the girl is his after he has paid a
small amount of money to her
father.

WILL TRY TO PUT IT THRU
SUPPORTERS OF CLARK SALOON
ORDINANCE WANT A VOTE ON
IT FRIDAY

Much quiet work is being done by
the supporters Of the Clark liquor
license ordinance to secure it's passage
at the council meeting next Friday
evening The ordinance would have
passed last week if several aldermen
had not lodged. Pressure will be
brought to bear on the aldermen who
are playing into the hands Of the op-
position by remaining away, to be on
the other.
Alderman Clark and his friends were
considerably surprised over the action
of Alderman S. E. Adams, McLaskey
Vaughan and Nye in voting to send the
ordinance back to the committee on
licenses, as it was plainly dilatory
move and made for no other purpose
than to lay the measure away unit! after
election: 1t is feared that the ordinance
cannot be passed then, for it has been
noticed that the aldermen are more sus-
ceptible to untoward influences when an
election is far away, and the people are
not watching them as closely as at pres
emit.
Keepers Of orderly saloons. have no
objection to the ordinance, as they have
no fear of having their licenses re-
affected are such as wilfully maintain
winerooms. When saloonkeeper knows
that he can, in the event Of his license
being revoked, go down to the city
treasurer's office and there secure q
rebate for the whole unexpired portion
Of his license fee, and then obtain an.
other license in the name Of his wife or
his bartender, he is likely to take longer
chances at overstepping the law than if
feited in the event that the license was
revoked

Closing Down of Quarries Causes All

Scarcity of labor, at the workhouse

Mcdonald to return to primitive meth
DDS Of farming. Until the city fathers
decide what the "Weary Wiliies'' are
to do, the spade will be substituted for
the pillow in all garden work. 49,
Since the work in the quarries was

Of the prisoners have not had enough to
do to keep them out OF mischief. Peel
ing potatoes and asserting garden truck
is about the only work to be done, and
that has been hardly strenuous for the
men who are accustomed to live by
their wits. The idleness has made
trouble for the guards, who have their
hands full keeping order.
>. When time came for the fall plow-
ing, Superintendent Mcdonald had a
happy thought, and decided not to bring
out the pillow at all, but to get a wagon
load of spades. Accordingly, the men
were set to work this week spading up
the soil. In this way the work is Done
fully as we'll as under more modern
methods, and besides, the plan will
keep the men busy for several weeks,
where otherwise they would be men of
leisure. In the meantime the council
will have time to supply permanent en-

WHEAT CROWDS LUMBER
PACIFIC COAST LUMBERMEN
COMPLAIN THAT CARS ARE ALL
UTILIZED IN THE WHEAT
TRADE.

Pecul lar conditions that may never be
duplicated are working to produce a
hardship on the Pacific coast lumber
dealers. Pressure of grain-carrying to
the east is said to make it impossible
tor the north coast lines to take care Of
eastbOund lumber and shingles. Rep
resentatives of the transcontinentals
report that, SO far as they are con-
cerned, there is no car shortage. Lum,
Der and single brokers complain that
the roads are not taking care Of them.
Unusual conditions result from the
high. price Of local wheat, making it
possible to utilize the soft wheat of
the west coast states for mixing pur-
poses Sixty per cent of this wheat
passed thru Duluth for lake shipment
east A large proportion of the rest of
the wheat goes thru Minneapolis for
Chicago, from which point it is distrib-
uted where needed Much of this wheat
is diverted to Michigan for use of
breakfast food concerns in mixing with

MILLION BUSHELS
CANADIAN WHEAT.
WASIBURN- CROSBY MAKE BIG
PURCHASE IN BOND.
Low Grade of Minnesota and South Da-
kota Force Minneapolis Millers
Across Border to Maintain High
Quality of Their Flour-John Wash
burn on the Situation.

John Washburn, James S. Bell and
Crosby company returned this morning
from Winnipeg. They bought round
lot of Manitoba wheat to come to Min
neapolis- badly close to one million
bushels. This wheat will be ground in
the Minneapolis "B' mill of the COM
pany, and when received will 90 into
the St: Anthony elevator until the mill
is ready for it. The "B' mill and the
St. Anthony elevator were bonded two
winter season, some two million bushels
of Canadian wheat being used.
This announcement in connection
with the Palisade mill and Union ele-
vator Of the PillsburyW ashburn COM
pany, means that milling of Canadian
wheat in bond will be carried on this
winter in Minneapolis on a large scale.
The wheat supply situation on the
American side is such that millers can
already see that there is scarcity Of
milling wheat in sight. 49,.
Much of the Minnesota and South
Dakota wheat is Of too low a grade to
make good flour. Just how much mill
ing wheat there is in America will not
be known until Chief Statistician John
Hyde Of the department of agricul-
ture makes his report, about Dec. l.
Meanwhile, however, the situation Is
sufficiently clear to cause. the Mime
apolis millers to turn to the Canadian
northwest for the choice material.
John Washburn says there has beer
wonderful development in Canada il
rapidfly. HThe first 'p Impression 's Eo"l al
American receives who goes across the
line is feeling of regret that the de
velopment, so much in evidence, is not
within our confines. But this is a SUI
perfcial view. One soon sees that ev
cry step in the forward progress Of the
Canadian northwest means a gain fo1
Minneapolis. Our city is coming more
and more into touch with this growing
land. For years nearly every big prof.
ect of Importance up there has beer
financed from eastern Canada. This
relationship we Americans cannot dis
turb, but we are getting interests ant
sometimes controlling interests in new
enterprises, and [ believe the time viii
come when Minneapolis will be the cen
ter to which this vast country will large
| ly turn for financial backing.
"The new 500 line, Minneapolis Win
nipeg extension, is the greatest project
now under way looking to the benefit OF
Minneapolis. The Importance of this ad
ditional rail connection between the two
growing cities can scarcely be overesti
mated. From what I saw, I believe the
new line will have business enough al
the start to make it a paying PROPOSE
tion.'
