LOVER PAID FOR HIS WIFE
Indian Chief Called Her His Daughter,
But Sweetheart Found She Was
White Girl.

There lives in small city in one
of the western states happy old cou-
pie who passed through many thrilling
experiences during those times when
the West was in the making. The old
man is fond of relating these expert
ences, and he often tells of how he
found a wife among the Brule Sioux.
who were at that time the most rest
less and troublesome of the plains In
dams.
At the close of the Civil war this
man was about twenty-five years of
age, and of an adventurous nature.
He went to st. Louis. Mo, where he
fell in with a party of traders bound
up the Missouri river to barter for buf.
falo skins with the Indians. The ven
ture was successful, and after a year
spent in the wilderness the party start
ed back, their fiat boats loaded with
the baled buffalo hides.
One evening the party stopped for
the night near an Indian encampment.
and here the young man met what he
considered TO be the most beautiful
Indian girl he had ever seen. She
was apparently about twenty years of
age, and although she was dark com.
plexioned and had beautiful black hair
and eyes she did not possess the fea
lures of an Indian. Anyway, the
young man gave little thought to her
nationality. 1t was a case of love at
first sight. and although his compan-
ions resumed their journey the follow
ing morning, the young man remained
to court the maiden, who il appeared
was the daughter of chief. lie won
her hand. and, according to Indian
custom. paid the chief the purchase
price of the girl.
The girl, according to the chief, was
not Indian. but of white parentage
She had been adopted by the chief
when she was baby, her parents hav-
ing been killed by the Indians on one
of their raids against the frontier set
Elements. Subsequent Investigations
proved the truth of the chiefs story
and eventually the girl was able to
get in touch with many of her rela
tiYes in the East
The young man took the girl to st.
Louis, where she was placed under
the care of a relative to learn the
white mans language and ways of liv
ing. A year later the marriage took
place. After few years spent in the
East they returned to the prairies,
where they took up land and where
they have resided happily ever since.

Scarcity of Wire Rope In Russia.

1t is reported by the American con-
sui general at Moscow Russia, that the
petroleum producers of the Baku dis
trict are experiencing considerable in
convenience from the scarcity of steel
wire rope. Previous TO the war wire
rope and wire to be made into rope by
Russian manufacturers were imported
principally from England At present,
in consequence of the limited exports
of steel goods from England, steel
wire rope of British manufacture has
almost disappeared from the local
markets and it's price has arisen from
500 to 400 per cent At a conference
held in Baku to discuss this subject,
ii was proposed temporarily to sub

ropes, which it may be possible to OBJ

WORKERS LAND PLAN
UP TO OREGON VOTERS

Salem, Or.-Secretary Stack, of the
state federation of labor, has filed
with the secretary of state petitions OF
over $4,000 voters that the proposed
peoples land and loan law be sub
mitted to the next referendum AS the
law requires 21,l36 names, organized
labor is now preparing to conduct an
active educational campaign in behalf
of this measure.
The law was first proposed by the
Portland Central Labor Council, on
recommendation of committee ap-
pointed to investigate unemployment.
1t was later Endorsed by the state fed
Grafton of labor and the executive
council of the A. F. of L. to which it
was referred by the San Francisco
convention of the A. F. of L.
The law is based on the theory that
as the state has never been able to
limit taxation state land tax will be
levied per year that will equal land
rent, whether the land is used or not.
A third of this rental will be placed
in a homeseekers loan fund, from
which men and women in the city and
country can borrow from the state a
sum equal to 81 500 for 20 years. For
the first five years no interest will be
charged except for administration pur-
poses. No tax can be levied except
by vote of the people. If property is
sold for delinquent taxes the state viii
pay the taxes and the value of the i'm.
provements that have been made
When the state acquires property un
der these conditions it can be LEASED
but not sold.
The purpose of the bill is to pr,
land loose from SPECTATORS who hole
it at exhorbitant prices, thereby max
ing real "back-to-the-land" move
ment impossible.

When Henry Ford advanced to SIS
per day in order to do justice to his
employees the landlords of Detroit
smiled to themselves over their good
fortune and Immediately tackled on
$50,O00000 to land values. OF course,
workers who get $500 per day in
Ford's employ are better off than
most of their brothers in Detroit in
the employ of other manufacturers
but they are practically no better off
than when they were only averaging
SO per day. Nothing but the crumbs
of justice can ever come to the ear

opolizer of natures bounties can take
over to himself in rent what generous
employers give in an increased wage.
