Indians Fondness for Dancing

Like all the rest of his red-skinued
brethren, the Grow Indian dearly loves
the dance. An Indian will drop his hay
ing in the face of a thunder storm to 20
to a dance, and a squaw will forget all
her hifalutin college education at the
prospect of keeping step to the magic
beating of those tomtoms. The music
of the dance represents the summons Of
the ages-it is the call of the wild which
the Indian canLot resist. The best and
most industrious succumb to its wiles.
The government Is trying TO stop Indian
dancing on all the reservations, for the
reason that an Indian will do nothing
but dance when he is given free rein.
Crops and blooded stock and all the
higher ideals of civilization would soon go
to smash on the reservation if the In
dams were allowed TO dance when the
where they pleased. So beyond a few
dances, given at stated intervals, and
big dance fest" at the time of the an
nual fair, the Crows have very little Of
their favorite enjoyment, unless one
counts the dances that are held on the
sly.-Denver Republican.

SEEDING COMMENCED IN
WESTERN CANADA.
The Prospects for Large Aereacs to
Be Sown in Wheat.

st. Paul, April "a, 1907--Word has
been received at the Office of the
Canadian Government in st. Paul that
seeding has commenced at various
points throughout Manitoba, Saskatch-
evan and Alberta.
The heavy snowfall during the past
winter has left the ground in splendid
shape for successful seeding opera
tions. The fine weather of the past
few days has taken much of the frost
out of the ground and during next
week there will scarcely be district
in which the seeder is not being oper-
ated. The most optimistic conditions
exist and in all districts the farmers
are busy getting things in shape.
There will be a very large acreage
sown in spring wheat, oats and barley.
At many points throughout the three
provinces the newcomers are busy un-
loading their stock and effects, work
ing night and day in order to get on
their farms and become active agen-
cies in the effort TO make the year
1907 the banner year in grain produc-
ing in Western Canada. AS compared
with districts many hundred miles
further south than this. IL will be seen
that Western Canada ranks amongst
the first in the line of seeding opera
tions for the present year. II is safe
to say that farmers who get in their
crop before the goth or oath OF May,
will receive magnificent returns. A
number of those coming in this spring.
who had not their land prepared last
fall, will break up enough land to get
in a crop of oats and barley and prob
ably some flax This. together with
the vegetables they will plant, will
give them ample food for themselves
and stock during the coming summer
and winter. These early seeding oper-
ations are not confined to one district,
but are spread over country 900
miles long by 400 miles in width.
The agents of the Canadian Govern
ment, located at different points
throughout the United States, are
busy giving information regarding the
many new districts that are being
made available for settlers. Low rail.
way rates, information and literature
are given on application to the agent,
whose name appears in advertisement
elsewhere In this paper.
