PORTAGE BRIDGE AND H INDIAN COUN-
GIL U AT LETCHWORTH PARK.
Being adopted by the Indians and
Crib, she grew up among them and
married first She-nin-jee, a Delaware,
and after his death Hi-ok-a-too. a Sen
eca, also known as Gardeau, who fig
ured In the massacre of Cherry valley.
She declared In the memoirs which she
dictated as an aged woman that de-
spite his ferocity in war Hi-ok-a-too
had always treated her with the ut
most kindness. This strange woman
died a Christian at n~inety-one and was
buried on the old Buffalo Creek reser-
walton, but when in after years the
opening of q street in the city of Buff
falo interfered with the repose of her
bones her grandson, DR.. James Shongo,
disinterred them, and Mr.. Letchworth
gave them a resting place at Glen Iris
and erected the monument which Is
now one of the sights of the park.
Near by Is q section Of the big tree
under which Morris made the famous
treaty. In the same vicinity is the
old council house, which formerly
stood at Canadea and in which in days
long gone by the Senecas not only
smoked the pipe of peace, but in their
own primitive and picturesque fashion
worshiped the great Ha-wen-ne-yu, the
master of life. Mr.. Letchworth, when
1t was threatened with destruction. had
1t removed to his estate for preserva-
ton, and here in 1872 the Senecas met
for the last council held in the Genesee
valley. 1t was ON this occasion that
an adopted son of their tribe, Hai-wa-
ye-is-tah. "the nan who always does
the right thing" In a museum is a
collection of Indian relics.
Mr.. Letchworth has long been known
for his interest in historic and patriotic
societies, and for over a quarter of a
century his life has been wholly devot-
ed to ~unselish work for the benefit OF
humanity. especially the u~nfortunates
who inhabit prisons and asylums. The
splendid domain which he has given
to his state and which is to be called
In his honor Letchworth park is visit

crosses the Genesee within the bounds
Of the park. 1t is 800 feet in length,

A pianist has to cultivate the eye so
as to see 1900 signs in one minute, the
fingers to make 1000 movements and
the brain to understand all these signs
as well as direct all these movements.
In playing Weber's .Moto Perpetuo"
a pianist has to read 4.541 notes in less
than four minutes. OF about nineteen
a second, but the eye can receive only
about ten consecutive impressions a
second. so that in quick music it seems
that a player does not see every note
singly. but in groups. probably a bar
more at one view.

Hofnaday Gift
OF HeAdr
And Horns.

"HRoUGH the efforts Of the New
York Geological society and Of
its director. DIR. William t.
Hornaday. the United States
IN time TO come. when the wild anil
mails once native to the country have
disappeared. will have a national col
lection of heads and horns of such
beasts. For some time sportsmen and
students Of natural history have been
discussing the question of how to es-
tabIish such a collection and wishing
that n might be brought into exist
ence before all the big game in Amer
tea is exterminated. In the museums
Of Europe there are collections of
heads and horns which are the envy
of sportsmen in America. One Of these
collections Is in the South Kensington
museum, London. and for years the
English sportsmen and collectors have
been donating TO II. Its treasures en-
brace many rare and valuable speci-
mems from both hemispheres. Natural
" Americans would like to see some
collection formed In this country which
while not excluding specimens from
other parts Of the globe would give
especial attention to preserving data
about the animals native to our soil,
such data to include. besides b heads
and horns, photographs. records, etc.
This discussion over the truthfulness
OF the writers of books about animals
and the controversy between DIR. w. j..
Long and President Roosevelt as to
the reliability OF the statements In the
formers new work have given special
timeliness to the movement for estab-
fishing the collection. The most active
promoters of the enterprise besides
DIR. Hornaday are Madison Grant or
the Boone and Crockett club and DIR.
John NJ. Phillips of the Lewis and
Clark club. DIR. Hsrnaday represents
the Campfire club, and these three
organizations are known among MINI
rods for the achievements Of their
members as hunters Of big game. DIR.
Phillips is game commissioner for
Pennsylvania.
A good beginning has been made In
the establishment of the collection
through the gift by DIR. Hornaday OF
The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1907-08-17


1872 most valuable specimens Of heads
and horns collected by himself. When
the increase of specimens justifies it,
a separate building will be provided
to house the collection. In the mean
time the New York Geological society,
as guardian of the specimens, will
maintain them in the picture gallery
OF the administration building, now APP
preaching completion. The specimens
will be arranged in two major divi-
sions, one showing in graduation the
Natural evolution of the horned species
upon the face of the whole globe, the
other indicating geographical division
by continents. A complete n COM
prehensive collection of photographs
viii further serve to Illustrate the vari-
atoms of the species and the haunts
and habits OF the animals both in free
dom and in captivity. The collection,
together with the library Of the Zoo
logical society, which will be made
available for reference, will represent
a bureau of information for sportsmen
such as may not be found anywhere
else In the world.
Two notable heads In the present
nucleus of a collection are those of q
Rocky mountain bighorn and Of a
white mountain goat. The Rocky
mountain blghorn Is nearly extinct as
a species. and this specimen was OBJ
tanned foul years ago in British Column
bia To bring down such a specimen
requires a high degree of prowess as a
hunter, for the gunner must endure
great stress of sou and body before
he bags this member of the noun
tain sheep family, a family long known
for its fondness for crags and preci-
pices where human beings can climb
only with exceeding difficulty. The
white mountain goat-not from the
White mountains of New Hampshire.
as the name might suggest, but from
the northwestern part of the CONT
nent-is another rare animal which
does o readily fall into the hunters
bag. One thing the promoters OF the
collection much desire is to obtain pos
session Of a pair of antlers from the
Alaskan bull moose, which carries the
largest head weapons Of any animal on
the globe.

The Gift of Glen
Iris by
Hai-wa-ye-is -tah.


~ NE Of the most beautiful and
historic regions in the United
States Is the far famed Gene
see valley Of New York. The
name of the valley Is Indian and signl-
hes beautiful" and 1t has always
been agreed that the red men chose
well when they selected 1t. La this val
ley is the large private estate known
as Glen Iris. which has recently been
presented by its owner. William T..
Letchworth. to the state of New York
for use as a public park. 1t embraces
about a thousand acres and extends
for three miles along both sides
of the Genesee river. Mere men
ton of the gorge and valley of the
Genesee calls to mind the deeds and
fame of the Indian chiefs Red Jacket
and Cornplanter and Joseph Brant; of
Robert Morris. that great Revolution
airy financier who. with Hamilton. had
so much to do with placing the fiscal
system of the young republic on a
sound and enduring basis; of the Hol-
land Land company, the big real estate
syndicate of a century ago. which "de-
veloped" western New York, and of
the Wadsworths. who generation after
generation have served in legislative
halls and on the battlefield.
1t recalls. too. the strange story of
"the old white woman of the Gene
see" Mary Jamison. who once owned
$4,000 acres of the beautiful valley
and might have been richer than Hetty
Green had she survived to the present
day. II was at the big tree council" OF
1897, when Morris negotiated the pur-
chase Of a great portion of the lands
of the Genesee valley from the Indians
of the Six Nations, that Mary Jami-
sons claim was presented, and. though
Red Jacket opposed the action. 1t was
agreed to reserve for her those $1,000
acres of rich land, with the Genesee
river running through 1t. which was
long known as the Gardeau reservation.
1.-THE old white woman was born In
midocean about 1742 and was captured
as a child by a party of Shawnees.
