Two Groups of Rocky Mountain
Aboriginees Plan Old-Time
Solution of Quarrels

Winnipeg, Man., July 16.-Accord-
ing to reports received here prepara-
tions are being made by the Sikkan-
MES and the Beavers, two Indian
tribes, inhabiting the Northern Rock
les, to decide on the battle field the
line which divides their hunting
grounds.
, The report of the activities OF the
Indians como from Fort Nelson.
Mail carriers declared that the Six
kannies were making a practice Of
hunting in territory which the Beav-
ers believed was exclusively theirs
and had resented what they felt was
an intrusion. A clash occurred Ibe-
tween hunting parties in which
braves on both sides were wounded.
Representatives from both tribes met
but could not reach a decision and
returned to their respective camps
with the report that war was the
only means left for deciding the
question.
The Sikkannies are reputed to be
a part of the Cree Nation. Years
ago tribes of the Cree Nation lived
in the vicinity of Winnipeg, and
after becoming involved in several
whiskey smuggling cases here, white
men shifted the responsibility onto
the Indians. The tribes folded their
tents and followed the trail which
led to the Northern Rocky mountains
between the Peace and Laird rivers.
This territory, according to the
few who have returned, is won
derful stretch of country, filled with
game and believed to be rich in
mineral wealth. Many prospectors
have made their way into this Sec
tion, but few, if any, have returned.
The guard at Fort Nelson reports
that the trail of several prospectors
has been followed only to end at
some lonely lake or river, where the
men might well have lost their lives
through their own carelessness, al
though there are strong suspicious
against the Indians, none Of which
can be proven.
The Beavers are said to be much
more civilized than their neighbors
and hunt in the country to the east
of them. However, the encroach-
ments on their hunting grounds is
being resented and unless the po-
lice in the far north can bring about
a satisfactory settlement, it Is ex-
pected that reports Of Indian fight
ing will be received at any time. Gov
ernment officials have declared there
is danger of the Beavers being wiped
out, in the event of war, rs they
are not a warlike tribe.

CROP SITUATION
BETTER ON ALL
SIDES BUT WEST

The central North Dakota crop
situation is today fifty-tifty prop
osition. From "a line fifteen miles
west of the Missouri on to the Mon
tana border everything has dried up.
East of that line to Jamestown there
is gradual improvement. The stu
alton also improves progressing
north and south from Bismarck. Al
though here and there the hoppers
have done bad work, there is no gen
eral drouth damage and there has
been almost no hail.
! East of the river, from the domin.
ion to the South Dakota line, crops
of all kinds promise to be better than
average. Bismarck appears to have
been the western limit for recent
rains, which have stopped at the
city's very door. Territory east, west
and north, however, has ihad susti-
cient, II not an abundance OF rain.
and there are prospects for good
wheat, barley and oats; for an ex-
ceptionally fine yield of corn and for
a trile smaller than average flax
crop.

Methodists of Louisiana have
before them the greatest task
ever assigned them in the raising
of nearly million dollars for mis-
sions during the next five years.
How this is to be done puzzles
even the faithful when it is
learned that in the whole state
only SIG, ,339 were paid by the
churches for missions last year,
and last year was considered q
banner year. The Sunday Schools
contributed to missions only $3,-

10000 Methodists in the state,
and the enrolment in Methodist

JUST IDLE TALK,

We were a bit surprised the
other day when we read in the
Daily States q special from Wash
ington that -four was coming down
in price. We proceeded to ask
our grocer If thE price of bread
was any cheaper. He replied in
the negative. We then asked the
baker if -four cost him as much
as it did two weeks ago. He not
only affirmed the question, but
pulled several letters from his
desk from leading flour mills Of
the country. wherein he was in
formed that -four was advancing
all the time end would probably
reach $13 a barrel bv July 1.
This Washington dispatch was
no doubt written by some So a
colmn space writer who sits in an
easy chair at the national capital
and dictates to a stenographer the
price Of -four for the United
States.
But the incalculable harm done
is in the publication of such arti-
cles. The consumer realizes that
he is paying all he can stand for
New Iberia enterprise and independent observer., 1919-04-12

bread now. The grocer likewise
realizes that he is paying the
baker the price demanded and
cannot sell for cent cheaper.
But the consumer naturally infers
that he is being held up and in
stantly becomes restless.
Flour is not cheaper now than
it was month ago. The chances
are that it will not be a cheap
April Is as it is today. The big
flour mills say that they cant sell
it any cheaper under present con-
ditions, SO why should the grocer
sell his bread any cheaper or the
baker let the grocer have the
product at a lower figure.
The Washington correspondent
Of the States should take another
Cascaret and try to revive him
self sufficiently as to send out
news of a dependable nature.

facts stand boldly out that just
the reverse is true. Look up the
real value of flour and then draw
conclusions. = Hammond Vindi-

WHY NOT SACRIFICE WIFE'S
LIMB RATHER THAN LIFE?
Reader Asks Quesnon-No One Can Tell What He ouid DO
in Such a Crisis as Vas Faced by Tanners

Why was not the body of Mrs. Will
liam Tanner so held that the train
which was cushing upon her would
only sever her foot. which was caught
in the track, and not destroy Eer life!
This question is asked today by an
EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER reader in
commenting on the self sacrifice of Will
liam Tanner in dying with his wife
when rescue seemed impossible. The
letter follows:
To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir am q follower and interested
reader of the awful fate that befell
William Tanner and his wife. There is
no doubt in my mind as to the courage
displayed by his noble act of self-sac-
rifice, which will stand out i'll broad let
tiers as an object lesson to countless
thousands from now on. | have read
all the letters published in this paper
since the beginning, but not one men =
tons whether it could not have been
possible to move this woman's body
either to one side of the rail or the
other and so sacrifice a foot or limb
instead of the body. As United States
rails measure about A feet S12 inches
from rail to rail, | still am under the
impression that this woman could have
been saved with the loss of a limb by
the bending down of her body and she
must have been on the side of n raj
or the other, as / read her fooI wa
caught between the board and the rail.
I just mention this because ] believe
this could have been done, and none o
the letters so far seem to have given thii
