time in the hurrying rush OF restless
men it had to be, but 1t came sooner
than 1t otherwise would have come
because some one dreamed that here
in this sun kissed cline there lay the
seven cities of Cibola.
Surely he should not be charged
with being merely poetic in mind who
on this occasion boldly declares that
California is the product Of a dream
and that this exposition is the COM
posite photograph of dreamers. The
seven cities of Cibola have become
seventy-and-seven cities Of culture
wealth and character. The dream OF
the Anian Strait has become a reality.

theless a reality called the Panama
Canal.
Il am sure / express the thought Ct
the President and the hope of the
American people when say that our
canal was built not alone for glory or
great gain, but with a sincere desire
tc make the whole world kin. There
are two gospels now instead of one:
The gospel Of good will has been sup
plemented with the gospel Of personal
contact. The gospel Of good will con-
tinues to be supreme, but nothing will
help it preach SO loudly as those hui
man agencies which eliminate dis
lance, blend languages, and give us
sight as we'll as knowledge each Of
the other.
Il am quite sure that I am but one
Of a countless throng in this republic
who regret that this altruistic work
has a real or seeming defect in the
charge Of an injustice done sister
Republic to the south. Let us not be
too much dismayed this day by rea-
son Of that fact. The American peo-
pie are wise. and they know he is not
wise who is not just. I look with con-
ffdence for the early arrival of that
good hour when whatever wrong may
have been done shall be righted and
when there will be left no drop Of bit
ter water to flow in that channel
which unites the seas.
From the first to the present, the
President Of the United States, when
ever thought has been voiced upon the
subject, that thought has been that
we exist for humanity's sake as much
ly relations with all people and en-
tangling alliances with none While
half the world is in rage indes-
oribable and unutterable. seeking to
build monuments out of clay kneaded
in a brothers blood; sad-eyed and
sober the goddess Of our institutions
seeks to hold out to a warning world

"Ostensibly I am here in the name
of the President of the United States
to dedicate this exposition in glorifca-
ton Of the completion Of the canal.
Really that waterway from its begin
ming was dedicated to the idea and the
ideals of the republic.
Here men Of every age and every
cline behold the noon day Of the
worlds accomplishment. the crystal
i5ation of the dreams and thoughts %
genius and Of talent. May we not
hope that here a thought dawn will be
born that shall not cease to broaden
until at its meridian light. all men
around the world are one?"

Thompson's Utah, March 24.-Seat-
Cd at the head Of the table, Brig. Gen.
Hugh L. Scott, chief Of staff or the
United states Army, at the NUS holo,
at Tbomuson"s served four doclle anu
apparently happy Indians at oinhel
last night. The Indians VINO hao eeeh
pursued by a posse headed by PIT
ed States Marshal Nebeker 1or wv
weeks, surrendered to General SCOT
near Bluff last week. The lnoians
were Old Polk, chief of one OF the ol-
visions of the renegade Piutes; Ise-
Ne-Gat. son of Old Polk VINO Is
charged with murder; Old Posey' cnlef
of the other division of renegades
and a son of Old Posey. The general
insisted that the Indians were not
prisoners but Just his boys The IN
dams showed keen delight when the
general insisted that he and the In
dams be given separate table away
from the white folks"
Generals Only Fear
After they had eaten the Indians
were supplied with cigarettes by Gen
e!al Scott and then permitted to wan
der about with perfect freedom. The
generals only concern was that the
Indians might be run over by a train.
They had never seen a railway train
before and can hardly resist the temp
tation to get close to the cars. They
will start for Salt Lake City today
on board a railway train.
General Scott's story of the pacifi-
cation Of the Indians, told last night,
follows:
1--WE left Washington to come out
here to attempt to settle this little
misunderstanding on March 8. With
me were Lieut.. Col. Robert e. L.
Niche my aide de camp and Troop
err p. r. Randolph Of the Fifth Caval-
ry, my orderly We reached Thomp-
sons on March and went to Bluff,
going by automobile. wagon, sleigh,
horseback and on foot. At Bluff we
learned that Polk and Fosey and their
Indians had gone to the Navajo noun
tains, some .125 miles west of Bluff.
We stayed a day in Bluff and then
went to Mexican Hat on the San Juan
river, % miles west Of Bluff.
Word Sent to Band
"We' sent a friendly Piute called
Jim's Boy out to tell the Piutes that
j wanted to see them. Some of them
came in near where we were camped
but it was not until the third day that
any dared come to the camp.
'Posey and four other Indians then
came into camp. We talked a little
through d Navajo interpreter. 1t was
in the evening and l told them l did
not feel very well and did not want to
talk to them until the next day. They
helped us kill beef and we gave
them good meal, the first they had
had for weeks. They were poorly clad
and we gave them some blankets.
Posey and his men did not have any
weapons but have reason to suspect
that they had hidden them in the
rocks nearby.
Trouble With Cowboys

about IS others. game: in 10 see. me
