Indian Farmer. Buy Thrc.her

'l'hos. Mcntz, Aldolph Wise,
Jesse Red Hawk and John Little
Grow, all well known Indian farmers
Of the Camonball district have
formed company and bought
Case l2-horse power thrcshing
machine. The machine will be
operated with horsepower and will
he shipped to Solcn about the midi
die OF August. Crops in Cannon
nonball district are very promis-
ing this year, and there will be
large amount OF grain to thrcsh.
For this reason the biggest Indian
farmers are buying their own ma
chine, and will not depend on the
government machine to do their
threshing as in former years. Last
year there was also good crop on
the reservation, and a number OF
the Indian farmers did not get
threshcd.

draw Il big crowd i'm view of the
prosperous conditions prevailing
throughout the Northwest, and by
that time the biggest crop in tho
