HISTORY MADE BY THE INDIAN
Real Life Story of the Red Man HaO
Not Been Properly Set Forth
by White Writer'S.

It has been pointed out more than
once that If one could but get at the
facts" of the history Of the Indian
tribes 1t would be Of interest to COM
pare these with what is related as the
fortune Of most civilized nations. It
Is only in tradition that the history OF
the Indian lives, and only one yer.
sion Of the story is ever heard. Some
times this is so true to nature that no
room for doubt can be found. Such is
the following chapter from the annals
of the Beavers, a Canadian tribe:
One day a young chief shot his ar.
row through a dog belonging to an
other brave. The brave revenged the
death Of his dog, and instantly hun.
dred bows were drawn. Before night
had fallen some eighty lay dead
around the camp, the pine woods rang
with the lamentations Of the women;
the tribe had lost its bravest men.
There was temporary truce. The
friends Of the chief whose arrow had
killed the dog yet numbered some
sixty people, and it was agreed that
they should separate from the tribe and
seek their fortune in the vast wilder.
ness lying to the south.
In the night they began their march.
Sullenly their brethren saw them de.
part, never to return. They went
their way to the shores Of the Lesser
Slave lake, toward the great plains
which were said to'be far southwark,
by the banks of the swift-rolling Sas.
katchewan.
The tribe of the Beavers never saw
this exiled band again, but hundred
years later Beaver Indian, who fol-
lowed the fortunes of a white fur
hunter, found himself in one of the
forts Of the Saskatchewan. Strange
Indians we're camped about the pal
isades; they were members Of the
great Blackfoot tribe, whose hunting
grounds lay south OF the Saskatche.
wan. Among them we're few braves
who, when they conversed, spoke o
language different from that Of the
others, and in this language the
Beaver Indian recognized his owr
tongue.

Road Improvement.

At the beginning of the new
route, No. 5, out of here, there
was part bad and some worse
roads. Particularly was the road
leading south from Pleasant Hill
church road in such a bad con-
dition that it was all but impass-
able, the road not being worked
for years. But to go over this
road now from Ben Westbrooks'
to Bert Sandefer's one would not
know he was in the same country.
Trees and stumps have been dug
up, trees trimmed and everything
in the way of good wide road re-
moved. Then the plows, push
billies' and everything was used,
and now we have a road that Mr..
Automobile owner, as we'll as any
one else, can travel. To speak but
mildly, it is good, and the credit
is due to those good men, W. H.
Harrison, Rufus Woodrough, John
Grady, lobe Woodrough, Bruce
Weatherford, Bennie Westbrooks
and PURGE White. Others off this
particular road who have helped
we're B. L. Sandefer, Ashley
Weatherford, Ben Grubbs and
others, Now all we need is
dragging dragging dragging. With
this road kept up to this standard,
mail on No. 5 will doubtless
be delivered all through the winter.

After the hardest and busiest
season during his long career as a
tobacco handler, Mr.. Will McCuan
closed his pricing house last week
and he and Mrs. McCuan left
Tuesday morning for Dawson
Springs. The total amount Of to-
bacco purchased and priced this
season by Mr.. McCuan is two and
a quarter million pounds. This is
the best purchase ever made here
by single dealer, surprising the
big purchase made by McCuan in
1904. 1t has been a busy season
with the tobacco people here and
they, no doubt, rejoice at the OPP
portunity to take a vacation. A
world Of money has been paid out
in Dresden this year for tobacco,
and the result has been that all
our merchants have had good
trade. They all inform the Enter
prise that this years business out

Mr.. Rig Davis, near Hyndsver,
lost an old mare one day last week
that had a splendid record. She
was twenty-one years old, and dur
ing her lifetime had brought fifteen
colts. Fourteen OF these she rails.
ed and ten, when sold, brought
the snug sum Of 81, $3.50. Mr.. Davis
now has on his farm four of her
mule colts which are worth not
less than $500, making the pro-
duce OF this old mare total $3.50.
She had, it is true, received the
very best of care, but this goes to
show the great profits in raising
stock. The original cost Of the
mare was, perhaps, not over 500,
and yet look at the amount of
money she brought her owner, be-
sides the great amount of work
she did, Mr.. Davis informing us
that up until four years ago she
did as much work as any other
animal on his farm. Boys, young
men and even old men, study this.

have to say MT. Kruttschnitt, exec utive head of the Southern Pacific, has written an article dealing with the financing of railroads. He said in part:
 ;: "The financing of railroad is function which the people. through their servants, the Railroad Commis- sioners and the Legislators, have never attempted. but it is most i'm portant problem, especially to sec tions of a State where new railroads are needed. The placing of securities has been left entirely with the pro moter and owner of railroads.

OUR PUBLIC FORUM
III---JuIius Kruttschnitt
On Financing Railroads

the Legislators and the Commis- sioners.
 Managing a railroad is quite differ ent from managing government where the money is raised by taxa tion. When the expenditures, for good reasons or otherwise. increase, taxes can be equally increased. The railroads, while servants of the pub lie, cannot raise money with such ease and facility. The railroads must keep their expenditures within their incomes because while they have some control over their expenditures they have almost no control over their incomes, their rates being fixed by public authorities.
 There is not a railway manager in the country today who is not fearful that under the press of increasing de. mands the transportation systems of the country will, in few years, break down, unless the railroads are allowed to earn larger funds wherewith to build 1t up. There are vast sections of the country, especially in the West where more railroads are needed ane they cannot be built unless the rail ways raise new capital.
 People invest money in order tc make money, and they are skeptical as to whether they can make money by investing in concerns that are dealt with stringently and unfairly. Rail road securities must be made more attractive to invite investments, and in order that they may be made more attractive, the roads must be allowed earnings that will enable them to meet the increased capital charges"

YOUR Ntl6nB0R'S KEEPER.

T am not my neighbours keeper" you say.
 Wrong, brother, wrong-you are your neighbours keeper.
 You have it within your power to instill the doctrine of brotherly love into the heart of your neighbor; to keep before his mind the higher and nobler things of life; to make of him living monument of what man should be.
 There is no man but what values the good will of his neighbor, and all men strive to retain. that good will to the end, for it is universal ly accepted fact that your neigh bor comes the nearest of all know ing you as you are.
 And while your neighbe,r may not speak of them, he sees your good points and your bad ones. and they are impress upon his min d even to the most minute and trivi al details.
 Hence, it becomes all the more incumbent upon you to so regulate your life that your neia .hbor may find nothing therein to divert his mind from the path that leads to uprightness and right living.
 Cultivate your neighbor, give hin a friendly word and worldly boost; teach him to feel that yor are his "neighbor,'' and not imply the man across the way"
 And as you act. toward him, st will he in time r. sciprocate.
 And if your a cts be uplifting an of a high moral tone, he in time may seek your level, with it's en- frightened atmc sphere and it's lofty ideals.
 Yes, you are your neighbor $ keeper, broth .er.
 Let your stewardship be above reproach.
