SARATOGA At
FRONTIER DAY
Major Comstock Represents Sar.
at0Ga's Interests at Chey-
enne Celebration.

Major Comstock, the genial
manager of the Saratoga Springs
Company, has become about as
enthusiastic a booster for Sarato-
ga and the Saratoga valley as any
of it's most ardent admirers and
never misses a chance to say a
good word, or do something that
will bring the interests of the
town and country to the notice of
the home-seeking public.
When he went down to attend
Frontier Day at Cheyenne he car
ried with him an assortment of
the products of the wonderful
garden of Albert Walter of this
place and put them on exhibition
along with the products of the
dry farming exhibit which created
such remarkable interest in all of
the outside visitors to Cheyenne.
This exhibits consists of cabbage,
caulitiower, beets, radishes, kali,
currants and gooseberries. These
products were duly labelled and
the Major said he had difficulty in
making some people believe that
the currants and gooseberries were
really grown in the town of Sara
toga. They were such large, fine
specimens of currants and goose
berries that they at once attracted
the attention of every passerby.
This experiment of Mr. Comstock
shows that it would be well if
Saratoga could be represented at
the state fair and every public do
ings in Wyoming or Colorado.
This display of fruit and vege-
tables was sent down to Denver
and has been exhibited in a spec
ial place reserved for it at the Col
orado State Fair in Denver this
week. Mr.. Wantland, in a letter
to Major Comstock, said the dis
play had arrived in fine shape and
would no doubt secure a valuable
premium.

RIVER UTES
Returning to the White River
Agency After an Absence Of
Two Years.

Douglas band, arrived at the
ranch of G. M. Scrlbner and went
into camp. They have been there
since but left yesterday. The
Indians are in charge of Capt. G..
P. johnson, of the End Cavalry
and ten soldiers. This guard is
for the protection of the Indians
as we'll as to e that they do not
get into trouble with the settlers
on the route.
This band of Indians became
dissatisfied and left the White
River agency the first of July,
1906, and have s~teadfastly refused
to return until lately. This is the
band that were up in Converse
and Weston counties in the fall
of 1906 and who were so trouble
some and lawless that the govern
ment WAS called upon to return
them to the agency. But they re-
fused to return and were quite re-
bellious. 1t was reported at that
time that they killed some cattle
and in many ways showed a law
less and marauding disposition.
They nave been on a visit to the
Sioux IN the Cheyenne River res
ervation for the past IL months
and are now returning of their
own accord. There are a few In
dams of the Uncompahgre and
Uintah tribes in the bunch, but
the greater number are Utes.
A large number of people have
been down to their camp, at an
Indian village was something that
many of the inhabitants of this
place had never seen before and
perhaps will never see again. On
Sunday half Saratoga went down
to view the sight. These Indians
have 300 or 400 Lead Of horses
and travel in wagons, buckboards,
etc. They very quiet and
peacable. Many of the bucks and
squaws have visited Saratoga and
our streets have presented a very
strange appearance with these no.
MAIDS wandering around thru them
in their picturesque costumes.
They brought no arms to town
with them save bows and arrows.
Capt. Johnson has been delayed
here several days waiting for some
supplies that were shipped to Fit.
Steele, from which place they
were brought to Saratoga in wag.
ons.
The Indians broke camp yester-
day morning and went west thru
this place about 8 o'clock in the
morning. They made a motley
procession and the streets were
lined to see them pass. They do
not average over ten miles per
day. They left the Cheyenne
River agency the 1st of July and
will not arrive at the White River
agency until about the lst of Oc-
tober.
While encamped at the Serb
ner ranch one death occurred in
the band, that of an old squaw 80
years of age, the wife of Chief
Red Moon. She was entirely
blind and while she had mustered
strength enough to ride ON horse
back with the band until it reach
ed Lake creek, she succumbed to
her age and intirmities Tuesday
evening and was buried in the
teepee where she died.
AS per announcement from both
pulpits here in Saratoga Sunday,
a collection of old clothing was
taken up Monday, amounting to a
good wagon load Of cast-off shoes,
and such articles as could be used
by the Indians and sent down to

mesa and two from first mesa were baptized and a church organized. Then in September more were baptized and a church organized at first mesa. In November. one, girl. was baptized. Then the chief reported me to the agent as having stolen monak, Ca girl) young man is now waiting for baptism He refuses to be mar ried until after baptism. because the girls people are afraid he will be Christian like his father. so he wants to let them know where he stands first. Then if they don't want Christian they cant have him. The young girl occasionally makes fec ble effort to break away. Then she has to live at the mission. One evening she started to come from the day school where she is employed. Her uncle caught and tried to drag her home. but the school employees heard the noise and ran to her help. It is almost impossible Cor one to live Christian life in the villages, so l nearly always have several of them at the mission. Lots of white people say How can you. how can you take in So man-?" while I say, How can l do otherwise?" God has given me house room enough. and I expect He meant me to use it when some Of His little ones needed protection. The need won't always last. but now at this mesa my interpreters is the only Christian famil. And this winter they need m.- help as much as any. We thank everyone who has helped us with their prayers and gifts. Every girl and boy. big and little, got a doll The white boys may laugh about it. but not so with the Hopis. One little fellow about F years of age said "Oh. I wa-t a don so badly." He got a ver.- nice one.
 Although we did not have as many people as other years we feel that our Christmas was a success. God is with US. and His work will go on. The very hardness of things makes the Christmas stronger. They just have to keep out Of everything.

telling them that all who came to the mission for Christmas would have their land taken from them. Of course many O. them were afraid as he had already taken away some land from the Christians. We did not try to make an eas. road for the old man, so went on with our preparations. made 9 special effort to let the chill dren see some Of the most attractive dolls and tO-s, also other parts of our entertainment. The children all knew if they came the- would have a hard time of it Seven ran away the night before. and slept in the church. By sunrise more began to gather, and all gave their people a lively time. Two little girls were locked in a room. but they howled till they were told to get away anywhere with their noise. An other little girl ran away but was brought back. She got away the sec ond time and hid behind the rocks till they stopped looking for her Oh it was lots oe fun for us. All but twelve out of 105 school children man. aged to come. One woman treed her children uO on a rock and kept guard for tie da;' Another woman came with her children. and her husband left her. but T guess he went back when he got hungry. We had PIP for din- ncr.
 We had two trees, one on each side of the hack door, and an arch of ever greens from the trees, over the door way. We had the candles. tinsels and all the usual Christmas fiXings The white people all thought our decora- tions the oEettiest they had ever seen. The program was given by the day school and would be credit to any entertainment. It was the first pub lie appearance for all the children. ev- every one taking some part. and all without mistake. The Httle girls had wreaths of white and red flowers. with broad sasheS to match. We had Christ mas songs. recitations. drills and talks. One friendly chief talked to the people about the material good in following Jesus. He has not yet found the spir- itual part. Steve my interpreter, made a ver-- earnest talk about the spiritual good. We gave dinner first in the church, with the sun shining in on all the decorations. Then turned eAAh AAAN -JtbbAt buL VI lilIt We udIhtIltu the room. lit up the candles and lamps. so they had by day and by night None of the HOoies had ever seen anything so pretty. They never think of any thing but feasting themselves. To make things nice to look at is not the HOpi way. Although you would not think so from what is so often written about them.
 We heard that we were to be driven out the following Friday. but are still unmolested. I often think about the invisible army of the Lord that was around about the prophet. His army surely must be about us to keen us safe, as the Hopi people of today are very much the same as the Hopis who killed off the Spanish fathers They have often in their kivas (club rooms) done the same to us. There are three men who keep the people stirred up all the time. The,r are genuine old ty- rants, who don't want an.- one to even think except as they are allowed We feel that every sign of rebellion from under such rule is a step in advance. Last year if looked as if nearly all were frightened back into tl,e old ways. But Mar 18th four from this

George Washington Versus the Savior Was the Issue and the Opposing Leaders Were the Chiefs and Mis- s;onaries.

Sunlight Mission. Toreva, AriZ., Dec. 19O7.-(Special Correspondence of The Republican.)-Our Christmas this year ,has been what might be called "a bowling success. as l think there was more crying connected with it than las ever before been connected with an Indian Christmas The old village chies IS so angry about so many wanting to be Christians that he was bound to spoil our Christmas. First he did all he could to get the government officials to give an oppo- sition dinner, either at the agency or the da. school to see as he said. (Which was the strongest, Jesus or Washington" When that failed he went to every home in each village,
