l o's Business System.

Old settlers will tell you that the In
dians broke the first ground for wheat
growing purposes in the spring Of 1881.
The Indians got their first ideas or
settling on land and establishing per-
manent homes from association with
the cowboys. Members of the tribe,
including Pocatello Tom, China Eye
and Big Tipped Pete, broke some
ground and seeded a few acres OF
wheat.
When the wheat was harvested and
thrashed in primitive Indian fashion
the growers began to market the grain.
The native wheat king would deliver
wheat to American Falls or elsewhere
in the vicinity for 80 cents bushel.
If the customer went after the grain
the price was 81 bushel. When queS-
toned as to the meaning of their sin
gular business methods the Indians
would invariably reply: You come to
my wickiup. you heap want 'um. Me
come to your wickiup. maybe so you
don't want 'um at all."-FarminS Busl'

SEEKING EARLY DECISION
on THE COTTON TAN LAW
Frank Clark Wants Courts to Pass OR
ConstitutiOnality Of War
ImPOst.

Washington. April 22-A bill in
troduced in the house today by Con-
gressman Clark of Florida will in eff
feet ask the United States supreme
court to pass once for all upon the
contitutionality of the cottol tax,
assessed against the people of the
South during the War Of secession, in
roIving the sum Of $6S,000,000, Re-
ferring to this bill, which brings up
for review the case of William F.
harrington VS.. Rolfe S. Saunders, the
former a citizen of Tennessee and the
latter a. federal official of that State,
Mr. Clark said: Il have introduced
this bill to refer to the court of claims
the record in the case of Harrington
VS.. Saunders heretofore pending IN
the circuit court for the district OF
west Tennessee with instructions to
hear and determine the same and to
enter judgment ol the law and the
facts 50 that it will find its way to
the supreme court and once there
that court will be asked to pass once
for all whether this tax was consti1
tutional If the court should hnd
that it was unconstitutional, then, un-
less I am mistaken, the house Viii
take little time in passing a bill 1or
the relief OF those who suffered so
much by the imposition Of this iniqul-
tous tax. It never has been square!y
decided once that court being divided
four and four on al appeal which
81 tained the lower court from this
tax Nov it is proposed to get it up
fair and square and if we get IA
vorable decision We will put 1t
through the house.

but all over the north. and at man.
places it drifted to the extent that it
may be said that whole villages were

The blizzard caused a very heav,r
damage to property and especially to
live stock. Thousands Of cattle perish
ed throughout the country because
their owners were unable to go to their
assistance. and many remarkable in
stances were related of reScueS. On
one New England sheep farm it is said
that 100 sheep. the property of one
