1t was a revelation Of the possibilities
of the camera in art. and while it showed
Throssel that he had a long hill TO climb
before he could attain similar excellence,
yet it gave him hope Later he went to
Seattle and had the secrets of the art
explained to him and he was sent home
with encoura cement and advice And
then later one OF the artists visited the
Grow reservation again and after looking
over Throssel's work exclaimed. "Dickie,
my boy. you're a wizard. 1T was praise
that counted.
1t was after this visit that Throssel,
encouraged and hopeful of accomplishing
something worth while. planned a monu-
mental Photographic study of the history,
legends. myths and life of the Crows. In
speaking of the work he says: MY one
great desire is TO truthfuly record In
dian life by means OF pictures and
stories.

Record for Posterity.

The work of Throssel was brought 10
the attention of Commissioner Valentine,
and that official at once planned to give
the artist all of the encouragement pos
sible to bring out these various phases
Iof Indian life and to record for posterity
the heroic figures of the red race which
are fast vanishing.
Assistant Commissioner Abbott IS also
much impressed with Throssers work and
during a recent visit to the Crow reserva-
ton met the young artist. While Mr..
Abbott was on the reservation the an

His school education was somewhat des-
ultory. and when he eighteen years
of age he left home with $40 in his
pocket, determined To earn lis living and
at the same time get u high school ed
ucation He found work with a physician
at Tacoma and entered the Nashon NIL
itary Academy. But this lasted only for
Il year. for under the strain of study and
work his health broke down and he was
forced to return home. When GONZALES
cent he went to Montana, where he has
remained ever since, acquiring not only
good health, but also a home and a happy
family.
His ambition to become an artist was
followed at first laltingly and under diff
f1culties. The facilities for art education
on Indian reservations are limited. and he
WAS forced to depend on a correspondence
school for training in drawing. 1t was
about this time that he got his first
camera. and its possibilities began to
dawn on him as he became more and
more proficient in it's use. Visiting artists
gave him instruction and encouragement
and year or SO ago several visited the
Crow reservation and showed him some
real art in photography.

A LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM

The leaders of the senate and
house are said to have agreed to give
their support to the following, legisla-
tive program which is urged by Presi-
dent Taft:
Statehood for Arizona and New
Mexico in the form of a senate bill
which provides for ratification by
congress Of the constitutions of the
new states after approval by the pres
ident.
Postal savings banks, with safe
guards against the funds being trans
ferred from section where originally
deposited to money centers.
Authorizing the president to with
draw from entry public lands desired
for conservation purposes or for clas-
sifcation.
Federal incorporation, open to vol
untary application of concerns en-
gagged in interstate business and will
ing to subscribe to federal regulation
Creating court Of commerce and
amending the interstate commerce
act
Creating legislative council for
Alaska.
Political maneuvering, it is prom
ised, will be halted long enough to
bring united support to this legisla-
tive program.
