COMMlSSlONNh SELLC II ~ n
PROVES THE FEATURING OF IN
DAMS IN WILD WEST SHOWS.
The Honorable Cato Sells, Commissioners
of Indian Affairs, makes known his attitude
to Mr. j. f. Roche president of the Cham
Der of Commerce. Billings, Mont, with re-
ference to the Indians of the Grow reserya-
tion participating in a Ground Up on July
/, 2, 3 and 4.
The Commissioner points to the progress
of the Grow Indians during the past year
as compared with former years. Reference
is made to the Indian Fair held in the Crow
Agency last year as:
"A splendid success, free from degrading
influence of conduct, altogether representa-
tive Of a happy, industrious, and prosperous
agricultural people, Such an exhibition
and opportunity for enjoyment is really to
be encouraged and it is the intention, as it
is the prospect, that in the coming fall the
Grow Indians shall have another agricultu1-
wear and be !; real Indication of their pro-
oress and a source of pride to their race"
The Commissioner goes on to state:
at is felt that the Grow Indians are now
at a state in their development where with
proper sympathy and encouragement the en-
tire tribe will make rapid strides in all that
goes to develop independent, selfrespecting,
and self-supporting citizens.
This condition makes it urgent that no
backward step be taken which in any man
nel will interfere with their progress.
Anything which encourages the Indians to
array themselves in Warlike costumes Of the
past, to participate in old-time dances, SO
called 'sWild West" shows and the like,
must tend to emphasize the habits and Gus
toms Of long ago which, if the Indian is to
assume the burdens and en- JOY the privileges
of citizenship, must disappear.
Such exhibitions likewise tend to give
the public a wrong idea of the present con
dition existing among them by giving proml-
nence to the Indian who delights in the at
mosDhere and exhibitions of the Wild West
show at the expense and Encouragement OF
the progressive and industrious Indian
whose children are in school, whose wife IS
a good housekeeper, and who is applying
himself to industrial accomplishments IN
harmony with the new life which should
be involved in the white mans clvllZlng
influence.
Everything considered, | am quite OF the
opinion that the best interests OF the Grow
Indians demand that they be permitted to
remain undisturbed rather that that they
attend celebrations in nearby towns with
Injurious results to themselves, disaster to
their crops, stock, and home interests, and
thereby to some extent justify the frequent
charge that they are not progressive and

ton or our advancing civilization.
For these and other reasons | am not III
favor Of the practice Of permitting Indians
to participate in the type OF exhibitions OF,
dinarily given in connection with Wlld
West shows 1t is inconsistent with the
present policy of the Indian Bureau.
The Commissioners policies, above out
lined, demand the approval of every lndl-
an man and woman of the United States
What is there more disgusting to the honest
friend of the Indian and educated Indians
themselves than the heathenish barbarous
dances that have been SO frequently pulled
off at all public gatherings, such as fairs,
medicine shows, etc, by the so-called poor
lo' for the amusement Of his white refined
brothers.
We hope that the Red Lakers will bear
in mind the present policies Of the Indian
Bureau, as set forth by Commissioner Sells
in his letter. 1t was gratifying, indeed, that
no dancing was participated in during our
fair last fall A few of the older men com
planned, it is true but generally it is be-
lieved that the spirit Of the Honorable Com
missioners attitude was fully appreciated;
and we trust that the lesson has gone home
to stay.
A few days ago one OF our most progress
sive Indian farmers came into the office and
complained about his neighbor's dogs.
This man stated that he couldn't keep
chickens, nor turkeys, and that the dogs
had even killed young pigs for him. When
asked why he kept so many dogs himself ne
replied that 50 long as his neighbors kept
dogs he might as. we'll
We will not attempt discussion as to
our opinion on his reasoning. There is I'M
doubtedly many other persons on the reser-
walton who feel that same way about their
dogs, and from it all we gather that there
is strong desire on the part of many Reu
Lallers to be freed from these hungry wolf
ish pests. In the writer's own case, l have
owned dogs and kept and fed them because
| didn't have the heart or nerve to Kill
them With this situation in mind it is sug-
gested that if you own a worthless cur, and
most everybody else's dog is one, give the
police a quarter and show him your dog,
and forget. The police will do the rest.
The dog tax idea is getting strong on the
reservation and like some other reforms
will be the order Of the day before we re

Officials explained that employs had
been told TO report as usual in the
hope that they could thus tabulate those
who had gone aboard the steamer which
plunged more than a thousand happy
excursionists to their death.

men and women alike as they entered

they hoped to forget the terrible sights
they had witnessed when the big team
er plunged its precious freight into
the muddy waters of the river.
Weeping flinders Work.
Occasionally as the day wore on a
storm of weeping swept through the en-.
tire plant. All pretense Of work was
abandoned Many collapsed and were
removed TO thtir homes. Women and
girls became hysterical in their grief
and terror as the vacant desk or bench
beside them recalled to mind the death
struggles Of the relative or companion
who sat there only three days ago.
H. : Albright, general manager, said
no definite steps had yet been taken
to provide for the afflicted families.
Al a meeting Of the board Of directors
today however arrangements will be
made TO purchase caskets and pay al
funeral expenses for all families maxi
ing such request. Later incapitated
members OF families whose bread win
ners were lost in the disaster will be
penionod by the company. Vice Presi.
dent W. T, Sitley said that a thlyd Of
the victims were actual employees Of
the company,
While inside the plant there was only
heartbreaking grief, a quiet little army
appeared at the offices, showing no
signs of sorrow. On the contrary their
faces were aliCht with hope. They
were seeking Jobs which the EastIand
calamity had made.

o the Citizens Of Richmond:

To the Citizens Of Richmond:
The Committee appointed by the
Mayor to consider the electrical prob
lem in the City of Richmond. recog-
nized the idea that the supplying of
electric energy for Illuminating or
power purposes is essentially a mo-
nopoly business and the economic ad-
vantages of a monopoly of this busi.
ness in the City of Richmond justi-
fled the recommendation that the
City proceed, if possible, to exercise
its power to acquire by condemnation
the plant and business of the Light,
Heat & Power company at just and
reasonable compensation therefor.
The Committee considers it econom-
ically wrong, and can see no good rea-
son l1hy the expense Of operating two
plants to supply what can be produced
by one, should be longer continued, if
it is in the power of the City to take
over the plant of its competitor.
The question of expediency in the
creating of monopoly Is hardly
doubted by anyone, but there Is SIN

Richmond to begin his work.
Secretary Haas of the Commercial

Dr. Cofer wrote that DR.. Perry was
one of the best surgeons in the de-
partment and that no one in the public
health service was more qualified to
conduct tuberculosis survey than he.
DR.. Perry has had extensive service
in the Philippine Islands and was in
the Panama Canal Zone during the

For some time he has been in Chi

BAVIS CITES REASONS
FOR PURCHASING PLANT

cere and honest doubt regarding the
wisdom of the method adopted by the
City, through its Common Council, on
the recommendation Of the Commit
tee.
That the City's position might be
thoroughly understood, it is the desire
of this Committee that the fullest pub
licity be given every phase of this
question in as plain and concise a
manner as it is possible to give, that
all may understand, and, unfortunate.
ly, the lot has fallen to me to carry
out that duty.
The only thing we ask Is, that the
entire question be viewed impartially
free from any personal bias or inter
est. taking the broadest possible view
of the subject to the end that the best
interest of the city may be conserved.
This Committee and administration
have no other purpose to serve.
Now let us consider the business of
the two plants as separate units, TAX
ing that of the L., H. & P. first; then
the City plant, and then both, operated
