Story of How Our Res
ervation" Was Laid
Out. Bannock War

White people in the Blackfoot
country, who have the habit of go
ing to pick fruits and hunt wild game
on the reservation, and to wish that
the reservation might be opened up
so that it could be put to a good use,
forget that the reservation and all
the rest of the country originally
belonged to the red race, who have
never yet sold 1t. On the other hand
we have never yet bought 1t from
them. We took it away from them
and they were unable to put us of,
therefore we are here. They still
own the strip Of country between
Pocatello and Blackfoots and Uncle
Sam is their guardian to tell them
what to do with it.

the west, settled on reservations. and
in July, 1867, it passed an act auth
orizing the secretary Of war and the
president to operate thru commits
sions to secure that result. The
Shoshone Indians had a reservation
in Wyoming, but it did not entirely
suit them. The Bannocks had no
reservation at all and were wander
ers on the face of the earth. Where
yer they went or wherever they
stayed, the question was always
raised as to where they belonged.
A preliminary treaty was made with
these Indians, in which the govern
ment agreed to set aside some ter
ritory for their exclusive use and
privilege. They said they wanted
some of the Portneuf country and
some of the Camas prairie country
and that was written into the agree
ment, but when they put in the word
Camas, it was spelled Kansas, and
nobody noticed the mistake. In the
spring of 1859, Governor D. w.
Harding of Idaho territory, received
orders from Washington to have the
reservation surveyed for the Indians
conforming to this treaty we have
mentioned. He looked the situation
over and was puzzled. The Portneuf
country, of course, lies along the
Portneuf river, which heads south
east of Blackfoot, makes a great

the end of the week.
At session Of the insurgents last

| the Snake river above American
| Falls. The Camas prairie country
lies west of Wood river, west of the
town of HALEY. Governor Harding
came over into the Portneuf country
and held a pow-wow with the Indians
and the military people and they
| agreed that any lands surveyed on
the real Kansas prairies would be
no good to the Bannocks, so Gov
ernor Harding finally settled the
matter by saying to the surveyors,
you boys survey out good sized
reservation for these Indians" and
he went back to Boise. The survey
ors were to be paid according to the
amount of the country included In
their work, so they were generous
in the amount of country surveyed
They took for their western
boundary the middle of the main
channel of Snake river. When they
got up to the Blackfoot river, they
followed up that stream nearly to
its head, then crossed the range on a
meridian extending straight north
and south, then followed down the
Fortneuf river to the place of begin
ming.
Fooled the Indians
That left the Camas prairie
country out of the reservation and
the Indians were very much disap-
pointed. The crop of Camas root re-
sembling somewhat the sweet potato
were not included in their home
country and they declared they were
going to have the use of the Camas
prairie for the crop of camas root.
During the summer season they
would take trips to the Camas
prairies and remain there as long as
they wanted to. There was a con-
slant irritation over the matter. Set
tiers in that country following out
the usual inclination of the white
people to want the earth, complained
about their presence and according
to the letter Of the treaty and the
agreement, the Indians had no right
there, excepting when they had per-
mission from the Indian agent. The
custom of visiting the Camas prairies
has never been entirely discon-
tinued; even as you read these lines,
Minnie Willie, wife Of Captain Willie
and several of her neighbors are
just returning from a summer out
ing on the Camas prairie.
War Broke Out
In May, 1878, three white men
named Silvey, Nesbet and Kensler,
took herds of cattle, horses and hogs
to the Camas prairie and kept them
there. They camped around the
country while these animals pastured
IN the prairie and the hogs kept
roofing out and destroying the camas
root. Two Indians, who could speak
English went over and looked into
The matter and after day or two of
friendly negotiations with the white
men and study of the effect Of the
stock on their country, they rode into
camp, dismounted and proceeded to
attack the three white men. They |
made mess of the killing for the
three white men also fought and only
one of them was badly injured, he
finally recovering. That act started
the Bannock war Of 1878.
A POcatell0 Woman Survives
At that time the stage line was OPP
Grating between Corrinne, Utah and

west of the Reddish lake. At the

If You Are Ambitious,

/ have noticed that men who have
climbed to great heights, as a rule,
have chosen the job which held the
larger future regardless of what it
might give in immediate returns. It
was not the larger salary they were
after, but the larger opportunity. It
was the job which gave promise Of
the greatest future that they wanted,
not "soft snap" with, easy money
and no future. Many vocations which
pay the most money at first have the
least future in them If you must
make sacrifices make them when you
are first starting out in life. You will
find 1t much easier to make them la
ter. What you need at the outset is,
the most of all, the biggest opportu-
nifty for growth and development, the
Job that has the larger possible flu
ture in it. If you are ambitious you
won't look for "soft snap" and 'seasy
money."-New Success.

NATIONWIDE STRIKE
is URGED BY FARMERS,
National Organization Orders Ban on
Sales of Foods Until Prices
Are Right.

KaLsas City, Mo-, Nov. IA nation
wide producers strike to combat the
falling prices of farm products was
urged in a call sent out by the Ma
tional Farmers union to it's local
unions throughout the country.
The call, i'll the form of resolution
adopted at the national convention of
the organization here. went forward
to secretaries of local branches of the
organization, which represent produc-
ers OF grain, cotton. wool and live
stock. said to number 100000.
The proposed strike was urged in
retaliation for what the convention
considered abnormal deflatiOn in
prices of farm products. through
which it was asserted American farm
in reduced value of products now
On hand. All farmers were appealed
to to hold this years production from
the markets until ''profit-making lev
els" were restored.
The action of the National Farmers
union was in line with wheat strike
called several weeks ago by the Wheat
Growers Association of the United
States. Delegates asserted a consider
able quantity of this years wheat crop
was being held off the market by farm
erS.

ture was threatened unless the prices
of our products are fairly readjusted

ments" is another resolution approved

Officials of the organization pointed
out that members were not under obll-
cation to obey the terms of the strike,
but expressed the belief that such
mOvment would be effective.

INDIAN FIGHTER NOT A GIANT
Daniel Boone Said to Have Been
Small in Stature-Man of Deep
Religious Conviction.

Daniel Boone is generally pictured as
a giant In stature, of swarthy complex
ion, and grim leader at grim period
In the cOuntry's history. Archibald
Henderson in the Century draws
very different picture Of the pioneer.
According to him Boone was scant
five feet eight inches, although broad
of shoulder. and his eyes were a mild
blue, topped by fair eyebrows. He
was shy, naive, benign and simple. He
was super-woOdsman, master In
dian fighter, but only an Indifferent
surveyor.
While acting as an agent for a COM
pany seeking wealth through land
grants and colonization, he himself
looked upon his work as that of an in
strument of Providence, specially or
dained by God to settle the wilderness.
This religious fervor he carried with
him in his widest adventures and most
bloody battles, and he promptly credit
ed every success, great or small, to
Providence. His two greatest exploits
were the exploration of the trans-Al-
leghany region and the opening of the
Pennsylvania trail, the path that ran
through the Cumberlands and opened
the beauties and richness of Kentucky
to the pioneer hordes from the Allan
tic seabOard.

Shaped notes, that is, notes Of
square, lozenge, round and other forms
than the conventional notes, are hard

world. Yet they were strongly In
dorsed and introduced by Lowell
Mason to help in teaching sight sing
ing, and they are still used in enormous
quantities In the South in rural dis
tricts. The scheme of the shaped note
is to represent the different degrees Of
the scale by means OF different

Ancient History" which, though now
obsolete, was for years In it's English
translation the standard work on the

VOltaire, while praising the work
highly, alleges that it would have been
better If the author had been more of
philosopher, able to distinguish bet
ter the false from the true. incredible
from the probable and to sacrifice the,
useless. Notwithstanding, he said 1t
is the best compilation in any Ian
guage, because compilers are seldom
eloquent, and Rollin was.
Charles Rollin was a Frenchman,
and he died at Paris, the place of his
birth, on Sept. Ia, 1741 This celebrat-
ed man rose from poverty and OBSCURE
ty to position of the greatest dignity.
He was the son of cutler, yet at the
age Of 80 he was made rector of the
University of Paris, which Office he
adorned by the sweetness of his char
acter, his learning, probity and moder-
