By selection of the department OF
agriculture, Canyon county is to be

THE closest Mr.. James R.
Murie ever came to scalp
ing was cutting chops in a
butchers shop. But this in
herent talent is not his only
one. He has taught school,
kept books in a bank. and
worked in stores-all Of which
he thinks is a much harder lot
than his moccasined grand
fathers led. Now the Field
Museum of Natural History
has engaged him to write all
he knows about Indians.
Prithee, Mr.. Murie, hurry
along the book. And for
goodness sake tell us the
secret-how can we, like the
Indians. get the women to do
all the work?

that times do change.
Minnehaha. Laughing Water.
Pocahontas, and Chingach-
cook have all passed on to
the happy hunting grounds.
Even the song "Hiawatha' is
seldom heard, except on old
records badly cracked. And
their descendants are modern
people in every sense Of the
word. Forget your picture of
Sitting Bull as the typical In
dian, and put up in its place
this picture of w. p. Morton,
a Cherokee Indian who runs
a department-store in Okmul-
gee, Oklahoma. and does a
business of a hundred thou
sand dollars a year.

pRINCESS Isl

PRINCESS Tsiani-
ma Red Feather
is a "typically. beautiful
Indian maiden we are
told. Besides being an
Indian maiden, she sings
in concerts, in a typical
ly beautiful manner. She
was born in a Cherokee
tepee, the granddaugh-
ter of a Cherokee chief,
and the daughter of a
Creek woman. Natu-
rally, she receives from
three to five hundred
dollars for a concert, in
a typical way. AS Ger
aldine has changed her
name to Far-yar, we
suppose the princess will
soon become Princess
