legends of these redmen who proud
relate that the Blackfeet braves have held the fort
on the roof of the Rockies in northwestern Montan
against all invading tribes for many moons tia
it is ancient history.
The Blackfeet of the Rockies enjoy the distin
ton of being the aristocracy of the American re
race
It is strange coincidence that on the reserv
ton which adioins Glacier park there now are onl
400 fullblooGs left. They have had translated
them the significance of the meaning of the 400
In English and the little band of tribal arstocra
feels very proud of this numerical distinction.
Three Bears probably is the most interesting
Indian that is left among the Backfeet, and he
is the Oldest. He declares the Indians of other
tribes always were jealous of the Blackfeet and
coveted their position of contentment amid the
luxuries which this great natural game preserve
of the Rocky mountains furnished in the way
of wild animals from which the Blackfeet got a
bountful food supply and the finest skins for
their raiment and shelter.
Three Bears does not talk word of English
but through an interpreter he will tell you of
the Sioux Crows. Mes Perces Kootenais and
other of the Blackfeet, who by the way, boast
proudly of the fact that they never went to war
with the white people
Members of the other tribes hated the Black
feet because they always dressed well in
deer skins and lived the fat of the land.
In the days of the buffalo that animal fur
nished almost entirely the food supply and shelter
for the prairie Indians and the tribes of the
Sioux nation often found the buffalo leaving the
burnt grass plains to Craze up under the shadows
Of the Rockies where the grass grows green.
Thus, in their hunts the Sioux had to encroach
east, but tribes from south north and west
upon the Blackfeets' domain. And that meant
war
1t was not only against the Sioux from the
that the Blackfeet had to wage war. They we're
almost constantly on the warpath to hold their
own country against invasion in the early days
Three Bears says.
Bears viii proudly tell his listeners that the
Blackfeet never were routed from their Rocky
mountain homes. Often they fell back into Cut
Bank canyon the Two Medicine valley or some
OF the other Rocky mountain Businesses but al
ways as a ruse. There they would lie in am
bush and slaughter their enemy at a psychology
cal moment
Three Bears is one of the few remaining In
dams of the bow and arrow days. He has strung
at his belt the claws of six grizzly bears he
killed with the bow and arrow. He must have
been a powerful man sixty years ago when he
was in his early thirtes if his physique of today
is any criterion. Notwithstanding that he is
nearing the century mark he stands almost erect,
his huge frame having shrunk very little from
its original height of six feet four.
Lazy Boy another BlaCkfOot of the older gen
Grafton who was boy when Three Bears was
in his prime says the old chief was known far
and wide for his strength. He says the squaws
had to gather the heaviest Sarvis berry bushes

MUST PERFORM ASSESSMENT
WORK ON MINING CLAIMS

In confirmation of former announce

from Senator Pittman at Washington
by the Reno Gazette saying that the
annual assessment work on mining
claims must be done for this wear

having passed congress as the land
department considered the legislation
unnecessary.
