INDIAN H|kER WAS TRICKED
WHITE EAGLE FAILS
TO GET PURSE OF $4,000
FOR $4,000 MILE HIKE

st. Cloud Journal Press, October 30:
Clarence White Eagle, Commanche In
dian, who passed through St. Cloud the
first part of Of the month on the
last lap of a foot Journey that twice
covered the breadth of the continent
to win a prize of $4,000, finished the
record breaking trip in Chicago to-
day, only to find that the men who
had agreed to pay him a prize Of
$4,000 for making the walk had dis
appeared.
White Eagle walked a total of 49,
900 miles. It took him more than a
year.
Much of that time the pedestrian
suffered the torture Of torn and bruis-
ed feet, of hunger, OF thirst, Of ia
tigue from which he nearly died.
But with his mind set on winning he
kept doggedly on, even after two
white men who started with him had
given up in despair and dropped out.
He did all that for nothing, accord
ing to today's dipatches from Chi
cago, which added that the Indian
started out at once to cross the con-
tinent again, if necessary, to find the
men who had so cruelty deceived him.
White Eagle and his two compan-
ions left Chicago October Is, 1915.
They were to walk to New York,
thence to San Francisco over the
southern route, up the Pacific coast and
back to Chicago over the northern
route. White Eagle alone accomplish
ed this. Here are some of the things
that happened to him, according to his
story:
He wore out IS pair of moccasins on
the trip. When he reached Minneapo-
lis his bare feet protruded and he had
tied pieces of leather over his soles.
His feet became so calloused he
could scratch matches On the bare
soles.
Time after time he nearly died of
hunger and thirst.
Twice he was forced to stop trains
on the Mojave desert to get water to
drink. Each time, he said,' an angry
engineer cursed him.
Despite all this, the Indian kept on.
He wanted the $4,000 offered by the
Chicago men, whom he described as
"walking enthusiastic He didn t
get it.

secure private dopations and some as
sistance from the \council. On the
question Of play grounds, think the
league should take an active interest
in that line and cooperate with the
board Of education in maintaining
proper play grounds and apparatus
for that purpose. It is very inconven-
lent for the league to transact its
business at present because of lack
of facilities in the handling of goods
and merchandise donated to the socie-
ty for distribution and the question
has frequently arisen as to how the
league can secure proper quarters. I
am OF the opinion that the. league
should secure a small building in the
business part Of the city as soon, as
possible, as such an undertaking
would do more than anything else to
insure the permanency of the organ
ization.
Now the question has arisen wheth-
er the league should extend its activi-
ties or some of them outside of the
city limits. OF course, we cannot ex-
tend our charitable activities outside
because we have not the means for do
ing so. But there is one way in
which the league may be of consider
able service to the people of Morri-
son county and that is in organizing
and maintaining a sort Of lecture serv-
ice bureaus. There are a number of
organizations throughout the county,
such as Farmers clubs, Young Poop
les societies and Church societies,
that need the assistance of the city
people at their social gatherings. The
professional and business men of our
city are frequently called upon by
such clubs to assist them in their pro-
grams. That is as it should be. We
have over thirty professional men and
nearly forty business men besides a
number of women who are perfectly
competent to take part in literary
and musical entertainments. It oc-
ours to me, therefore, that the city
people could be of considerable SER
vice to the country people in this line.
Such cooperation between the city
and country would be of inestimable
value in fostering the right relation
between the city and the country peo-
pie and would be of mutual benefit.
I would, therefore, recommend that
this league organize a lecture bureau
for Morrison county. By this I mean
that the league should undertake to
furnish speakers and possibly other
entertainers, free of charge, for the
country people for their social gath
erings. The league should make a
canvass Of the city and see how many
subjects could be handled and then
publish the subjects that the league
would furnish speakers for. The
country clubs could then select the
subject Of most interest to them and
notify us Of the time and place when
the speaker would be wanted. If the
country people knew that they could
secure speakers on almost any subject

E PASO'S TAX RATE LOWEST
Of ANY CITY IN STATE NOW
Despite Constantly Increasing Cost of Operating the City
Government the City Tax Rate Is Held to Extremely
Moderate Figures; Gain of More Than 200 Percent Is
Made in Tax Valuations; Mostly Business District.

II FFORTS on the part OF the Lea
administration to effect a more
equitable distribution OF taxation
and at the same time provide for an in
creased revenue made necessary by the
growth of the city, have resulted in
lowering the FL Paso tax rate six cents
and increasing the taxable values S.
213,7S0. In lowering the rate the coun-
ell has created a rate lower than that
of any other Of the larger cities OF
Texas.
Business Property Values Increased
The determination Of the new ADMIN
istration to more equally distribute the
burden of taxation resulted IN a NATE
rial advance in valuations on most
business property. on property IN rap
idly developing additions and on prop
erty that is producing large revenue
For the most part, home owners whose
holdings are revenue producing, were
not subjected to any increase me

business property was too low IN pro-
erty, and advanced its values to the
adopted basis of 60 percent of market
value. In some instances the increase
was as much as 40 percent

percent of the 1853 property owners

Lowest Rate Since 1905.
The present tax rate of $3.50 is the
lowest since 1908, when the same rate
was in effect and is six cents lower
than it was in 1914 and eight cents
lower than in 1913. While the tax rate
is the same as it was in 1908, the tax
able values are S2O.527. S95 more. the
valuations then being S26,12l.555, as
against S46,645. $50 for the present year.
Assessed Valuation Gain Is Large.
The present assessed valuation is the
greatest in the history of the city. The
figures of the past 10 years tell 2
story Of wonderful growth. In 1905
the valuations were S15,552,675. This
means that in 10 years the assessed
valuations OF the city have increased
over 200 percent
