tured-Indians in the maurauding
bands who seem content to let things
drop after they have swiped an ailot-
ment of chickens. etc, and provided
themselves for their next journey"
This letter, written by Bishop Jones
to Creel, led to an investigation OF
conditions by the latter. Creel found
that the Piutes-presumably the same
Indians who are now resisting arrest
were badly housed. In his report to
the Indian Office he declared that the
shanties were insanitary, and urged
the construction of a number of build
ings, costing $3.50 each, in which the
Indians might live.
Here, also, the lack of education was
found. There was a bitter prejudice
on the part of the older Piutes that
their children should know more than
they. There was the fear that change
in environment might wean the child
from his parents-and in the Piute
tribes the tradition of the family is
deeply and thoroughly rooted The
children must follow in the ways of
the parents. That is the Piute law.
In December. 1913. Fred w. Cham
berS, commissioner of fish and game,
with headquarters at Salt Lake city,
sent a complaint to the Indian office
here. He called attention to the fact
that certain of the wandering tribes
of Piutes had been slaughtering game
at times when the law prohibited hunt
ing. and he pointed out. in addition.
that the Indians had been continually

as agent of the government, could DO
to better their condition. In his re-
port he describes one band met Whlch
was absolutely without hay or grain,
whose ponies were skeletons ana
whose sheep had practically removed
the sage brush in the vicinity.
At another place. Deep creek, Creel
was able TO demonstrate in way the
possibilities of dry farming. and
some of the Indians eventually were
able to do something for themselves.
There was found to be quite bust
ness in pine nuts. The Indians gather
them and sell them in the settlements
at 20 cents a pound. Evidence that
Piutes are frequently good neighbors
was found at Cedar City, where band
was encamped on five-acre lot be-
longing to a Mormon church. The In
dians were peaceable and most of them
earned their livelihood in the town by
doing odd jobs
Two cardinal needs of the Piute in
the vicinity of Cedar City are an op-
portunty for education and more land
This is emphasized in the report of
Special Agent Creel. IF the five acres
now used could be increased and an
understanding of modern farming i'm
planted in the minds of the Piutes,
there would be a definite purpose to
supplant eventually the desire to "so
hunting"
Similarly, knowledge of the ways
and customs of the paleface would tend
10 bring about condition wherein the
two races would come to better under
stand each other. Many Indian officials,
men who are authorities, declare that

Indians, the federal government could
hardly be expected to handle the case
In other words, the Indians VINO were
committing the depredations were not
government wards, and, hence. must De

There is one optiris istic thought which
enters into the Piute drama at TINS
point, and that is that most of the
TRUE Utes," or Piutes as they are gem
orally termed. show a marked disiil-
clination to get into amy squabble
which one of their tribe may nave

Dry farming has converted many OF
them. TEey haven't reached the point
where they can go out and run a farm
in their own way but they are con-
WINGED that some day they VIII be .ibie

that day
There IS another little story IN con-
nection with the present Piute revolt
which may or may not have baarlng
on the ease. In 1911 certain lands Were
set aside, by order of the president tor

ment than any paternal aid which may
be extended.
Now comes the story Of Bluff. And
this is from the San Juan river region,
where the present fighting seems to
have been hottest. Witness some OF the
phrases:
Cattle are being killed"
"Ranchers are worried"
"In places remote from settlements
the women and children are terrified
by bands of rowing Indians
And on top of this is the report OF
Special Agent Creel. His study of the
conditions found the Indians there to
be of a truculent and dangerous dispo-
sition. 1t has developed that the IN
dians-the Piutes-in and around Bluff
are in practically destitute condition
and are inclined to prey upon whom

save the burro would perish of starva-
tion. The same idea causes them TO
become goatherds.
Reports of those who have studied
the Piute Indians show that although
they are not enthusiastic farmers they
are not a lazy race. band of these
wanderers will suddenly become de-
sirous of urban life, and start straight
way for a settlement or town. There
they will camp, and men and women
alike VIII apply for work. That they
are competent Workmen is indicated by
the fact that when they offer them
selves they are almost invariably en-
ployed, and a a fair wage.
This. of course. does not apply to the
renegades, who are frankly opposed to
the idea of working at any wage and
who nurse the sincere if unethlcal con-
chicken and they want that chicken
there isn't reason in the world why
they shouldn't take it.

Preliminary reports of the present

fessor has letters after his name. To
some he is "Paiute" uhe Indian yer
"Piutah." The word which distin-
guishes him is derived from two In
dian words, meaning true" and Ute.
Thus the Piute Indian is a true Ute.
He is interrelated with the Shoshone
and Ute tribes.
Piutes are essentially nomadic.
Gypsylike, they wander from place to
place, stopping for while where the
fancy strikes them and moving on
again whenever they take the notion
to strike tents and continue their Jour
ney. They are excellent narksmen ana
born hunters. This latter characters
tic from time to time lands them in
neither sense nor justice in a closed
season for wild game. What II the
game is scarce? They are not inter-
ested in keeping the species in exist
ance. They want to hunt as their Iore-
fathers did. And so, every once in a
while, the state game warden descends
upon them.
Reports received from agents indi-
cate that the Piute is poor agrlcul-
tura1ist. despite the efforts of pa
ternal government to enlighten him
Added to this, the land upon which he
lives is of the character available only
for dry farming which is a scientific
method that must be learned. There
are, of course, many brilliant excep-
tions. One Indian, who was instructed
by a government official, raised crops
of corn, squash, potatoes and a num-
Der of other things, besides looking out
for pigs, cattle and sheep. His work
showed what the Piute can do, once
he makes up his mind to it.
The band of Piutes who are resisting
capture is an unusually large one.
Estimates as to its strength run from
fifty men, women and children to a
much higher number AS a rule the

and after wandering for time finally

These families will take their tepees
with them wherever they go. With
them are their sheep and goats and a

TRENCHES IN WARFARE.

Tools the Soldiers Use to surre~ Into
 the Ground.
 Trenches are imperative in land war fare, and so consequently are tools for digging. Therefore every soldier car" ries his own tools, with which hs can throw up some sort of defense, if t is only six inches of earth, and which can be enlarged, if necessary, into a regu- lar trench.
 Curiously enough, the trenching tool was the invention of an American en- gineer, Brigadier General H. ". Ben ham of the Army of the Potomac IS was twenty-two inches long and weigh ed a pound and a half, and 1t is prac- tIcally this same tool that Is used to- day, although. of course, with modih- cations. The present model is usually lighter, the best design being that used bv the AustrIans. It is less than tweIl- ty inches in length. the blade being eight inches long by six Inches wide. one side having a cutting edge and the other a saw edge. A tool of this kind can be used by the soldier while lying down. and a few vigorous strokes are enough to throw up some sort of temporary protection, which can SaSily be enlarged if the position ia to 'bs held.
 Trenching drill is hated mOEO than anything else by the soldier in timS of peace, but hat same soldier acquires a positive love for his little spade after he has once been under fire and % dis covered for himself the salutary Qual- Ities of little mound of earth in frout of him.
 The soldier in a good trench is abSo' lutely safe except from well aimed shrapneI or from shells that happen % burst in the trench itself, which, Of course, Is a rare happening. Perhaps It is worth noting that the advantages of the trench were discovered by Alex andcr the Great.-New York Post.
