and all they could use for them
selves. They were to have lands in
the Portneuf country and the Camas
prairies, but the secretary wrote it
kansas prairies" by mistake and
when 1t was written up at Washing
ton and forwarded to Governor
Curtis of Idaho, he Of course could
not reconcile the records and he told
the surveyors to survey reservation
for them in the Portneuf country and
to make it plenty large enough. The
surveyors mapped out the country as
indicated in the introduction Of this
article and the Indian department;
told the Indians that that was their
territory. The Indians were MT Very
we'll satisfied because it did not in
clude the Camas prairie. They
wanted that country because OF the
growth of Camas root, an article OF
food very much priced by the
Indians. For a VIII lie the Indian
agent made efforts to get hearing
for them on this subject and to get
all allowance of the Camas prairie
Set apart for them, but the white
people were crowding in upon that
country so aggressively it seemed
almost impossible to keep them off
and nothing was ever done abo 1t it.
The irritation arising from the use
of the Camas prairie by the white
men brought OH the war Of 1873 ard
the government and the settlers
sacrificed the value of large scope
of country without arriving at har-
n,onious understanding with The
Indians. But in the out come the
indians did not receive anything, hut
the original reservation lying be-
tween Snake river and the Portneuf.
A Lovable People
The Indians are a little difficult
to get acquainted with but are very
lovable people when one understands
them. The white people coming
among them for the first time usu-
ally stare at them as if they were
freaks, thus showing the worst of
manners and manners that would
be inexcusable between white people
themselves. Then they attempt to
take liberties with the Indians by
photographing them without SO
much as saying "By your leave" and
the Indian resents this intrusion
upon his rights, this lack of courtesy
due to every individual. At this
stage the Indian usually asserts his
rights by turning away or concealing
his face or in some manner defeating
the purpose of the photographer
When white people dismiss the idea
that the Indians are different from
other human beings and when they
act upon the assumption that the
Indians are just about like other
folks, they thereby put themselves
in a position to begin to get
acquainted with the Indians. They
know a great deal that the white

not like they were when they went
away and they feel towards them
about like we western white folks
would feel toward sons who went to
Harvard college and returned wear
ing tall silk hats. Mingling
with their old friends wearing west
ern hats they would feel out of place
and the young men wearing the
SLOUGH hats and enjoying them,
would be disposed to make fun of
the silk hats. There would be gulf
between them. This same thing ex-
lists at the Indian homes when the
gradutes return. The graduates feel
out Of place because of their cloth
ing, their language and manners are
different and they can only overcome
this difference by DOMINIC their
Indian costumes. Until they do that,
they do not feel at ease, neither do
their friends.
Where Else Could They Go?
If these graduates do not return
to their homes or their Indian camps,
where else should they go? They
could not go to Blackfoot or Poca-
tello and live at a hotel and if they
went out among the business houses
of the town and asked for employ
ment they would find it difficult to
get on. The average business man
would not give one of them a job
and if he did they would be on pro-
baton, with every little mistake and
blunder magnified and in danger of

costing them their job. They would
have much harder time to make
good on the job than a white gradu-
ate, An Indian girl seeking employ
ment in the town would find it very
difficult to get work exec ting as a
maid and she would be more on pro-
baton than a white girl In the same
position.
A great MANY PEOPLE ask the ques-
ton, what is the use Of educating
the Indians?" The proper answer to
that question is to have graduate
Indians go to those same people and

terms Of surrender while they talked.
This Indian had worked up thru the
ranks in the travail of war and on
his merits had passed other men I'M
til he was member of Grants staff
and secretary to the general, taking
charge of both his public and private
business. History is replete with
such incidents where Indians have
achieved unusual success, but they
cannot achieve success unless they
are given the opportunity. They
cannot intrude themselves upon poo
pie who do not give their consent.

Helen began to busy herself
about the house with various
small tasks.
In the afternoon about four
o'clock Helen began to prepare
the evening meal. AS she hung
the shining copper kettles on
the strong iron rod that hung
in the fire place, she said to her
self, "I'll have supper early to-
day. really don't wish for any
thing myself but l know John

to eat when they get here"
A dark shadow was suddenly
thrown across the floor at her
feet. She looked quickly up at
the west window where the sun
shone and the golden light
streamed in. What was that she
saw? Was it a vision? 1t

The thread grew rapidly on the

All of a sudden a savage cry
broke out all around the log
cabin. The door was thrown

bonnets and streaked with paint
entered. They rushed upon the
frightened girl who stood by her
spinning wheel with her hands
out-stretched as if to ward off
danger. They seized her and one
strong warrior bound her hands
roughly, while part of the saw
ages walked about the room
helping themselves to what ever
pleased them or struck their
fancy.
They led the trembling girl
out of the house and down the
path.
At last after long and tire
some march they reached the
Indian encampment. Helen had
been doing something on the
way that her captors knew moth

nobody was watching her. she
tore bit from her blue home

the path as a sign of her where

When they reached the village
an old woman gave her some
soup, cooked from venison and
vegetables. The food was served
in a cracked earthen dish with
an iron spoon with which to eat
it. Helen could not eat the
greasy stew.

his sanity. He was brought from

who arrested him at camp six of the
Potlatch Lumber company, where he
had Cleaned out the camp" accord
ing to the deputy sheriff's statement
Charles Summerfield, deputy sher-
iff, says that White appeared at the
camp and was employed. During the
night he got up and went to the
hunks of two other employees and
nearly choked them to death and
when assistance was rendered by
others in the clubhouse he almost
cleaned out the bunch" Deputy Sher-
if Malone was sent for and when he
attempted to arrest White the latter
resisted, and according to Summer
fields statement, it took '3six big,
husky loggers to handle him."
He is being held in solitary con-
finement for observation as to his
mental condition.
White was given an examination
Monday afternoon before Probate

amining him. He talked rational
enough at the time but was held for
further investigation and an effort
will be made to get in touch with his
parents, whose address he gave. He
