News Of the Fort
Hal. Reservation
And Its Residents

The Fort Hall reservation was es-
tablished in 1868 to be the home Of
the ,Shoshone and Bannock Indians
| The Blackfoot river forms part of the
northern and eastern boundaries
and the Snake river forms the
rest of the northern boundary to a
point fifty miles southwest of Black
foot, where the boundary leaves the
river and cuts due south thirty miles.
The southwest corner of the reserva-
tion is eighty-seven miles southwest
of Blackfoot on air line. A belt of
the reservation twenty miles wide ex-
tends north and south for a distance
of sixty miles from the Tilden bridge
or using the town of Sterling as a
land mark, the western boundary of
the reservation extends fifty-five
miles southwark from the middle of
the channel of Snake river directly
south of Sterling. Using the old
Rich post office as land mark, the
reservation extends sixty miles due
south of that and at that point one is
on the southeast corner of that par
ticular belt we refer to, but it is not
properly the southeast corner of the
reservation. The northeast corner
of the reservation would be at one
of the bends of the Blackfoot river,
thirty miles northeast of Blackfoot.
The southeast corner of the reserva
tion would be at point fifty-four
miles southeast of Blackfoot, meas
uring on air lines. This point is
forty-eight miles northeast Of Poca-
tello, more east than north and on
the eastern side of the Chesterfield
reservoir. From there the southern
boundary extends due west, thirty
five miles to a point fifteen miles
northeastward from Pocatello. From
there the boundary line extends nine
miles northward, then twelve miles

EARLY MORMON
SETTLEMENT in
THE LEMM 1855
Well Known Pioneer
Tells of Indian Raids
of Olden
Times
By ROBERT l.. BYBEE

Editors Note.-The following
historical sketch of the cary Mormon
settlement on the Lemhi river in,
1855, is written by Robert l.. Bybee,
the well known pioneer of the val
ley. Mr.. Bybee settled in Utah in
1851, and resided there until 1888,
when he located in the Snake river
valley near Idaho Falls. Mr.. Bybee
was appointed by Governor Young to
serve in the Indian service in 1858.
Mr.. Bybee's "reminiscences of the
rescue of the Lemhi settlers from the
Indian attacks common in those days,
will prove very interesting to many
Of the early day settlers in the
valley,(
think it was in the year 1855,
President Brigham Young sent a
colony Of Latter Day Saints to settle
in the Salmon river country. They
located on Lemhi creek; possibly on
what is now the Lemhi reservation.
They were quite prosperous in
farming and other pursuits-lived in
peace and good will with the Indians
until about 1858. There was a
mountaineer living there at the time
by the name of Powell, (I Think who
was living with an Indian woman.
He told the Indians the Mormons
were there to take their land from
them and kill off their game; this, of
course, stirred the Indians to such
pitch of anger that they made a
raid on the little fort and killed two
of the settlers and wounded three or
four others, and ran off all their
stock, or nearly. | think an old
Indian chief whose name was Arimo
a friend to President Young, made
his way to Salt Lake City some time
during the winter of 1858 and in
formed President Young what had
happened. President Young was at
that time, governor of Utah. Gov
ernor Young called for volunteers to
go Immediately to the rescue of those
Salmon river settlers.
One hundred and fifty men, well
armed and equipped, for those days
were soon ready to march The men
were mainly from Weber and Davis

land less favorable to corn, lie yield
of soybeans would be even greater in
comparison with the other three crops.
The use Of soybeans is becoming gen

their value for seed, hay and for plant
ing in corn either for ensilage or to
be hogged off. A year ago there were
scarcely more than 5000 bushels of
soybean seed available for use on Mis-
souri, farms and many farmers who
fully recognized the possibilities Of
this crop were unable to realize its
benefits simply because they were I'M
able to get seed. This year between
10000 and $1,000 bushels of soybeans
are available for seed and still the de-
mand is likely to outrun the supply.

corn. On the richer lands soybeans
produce yields that compare very IA
vorably with the corn crop even in

crops are compared on the basis Of

the last five years by the Missouri Ex-

INCOME TAXES PAID
BY RICH MEN

New York, April 2.-Did you know
that two men in the United States
confessed to the collector of internal
revenue, "Big Bill" Edwards, that
their net personal incomes last year
were in excess of three million dol
lars?
Did you know that John D. Rookie
Teller not only had personal income
of sixty million dollars, but drew a
check for $3s, 4O0, 900 and mailed it to
the government as his income tax
contribution?
Some amazing figures, running close
to the billion dollar mark, are made
public by Edwards through official
reports now in the hands of the com
missioner of internal revenue at Wash
ington.
% Huge Incomes
Twenty-eight gentlemen admitted,
it seems, having incomes during 1920
of 100000 up, while IS others said
languidly they received between a
million and half and two millions.
The late H. C. Frick had $11 $780,
600 income and out of it the govern
ment got $7,16O,OOO.
Two other men frolicked about with
seven million and half and each paid
the government $4,S00,000. They
were Geo. F. Baker and William Rock
efeller.
Edward S. Hardness and ]. Ogden
Armour were taxed to the tune Of &c.
100000. They paid the government a
fiat four million each, while Henry
Ford and w. X. Vanderbilt as we'll as
Edward H. R. Green, having each five
million dollars on their hands during
the year. disposed of $4,000, 900 of it
by sending it to the government in the
form of certified check.
Vast Fortunes
These figures appear as personal
incomes and do not, of course, repre-
sent the staggering principals that
yield so golden flow.
If, for example, Rockefeller's net
income was sixty million dollars and
this sum represented 'only 6 per cent
interest on the principal, the princi-
pal itself must have been one billion
dollars.
In like fashion Prick must have had
q capital of $1S7, 100000 to return him
$11, 25O,00O in interest.
The records announce that % of the
richest taxpayers are scattered.
About IA came from New York, two
from Delaware, one from Michigan,
one from Ohio, two from Pennsylva-
mia, one from Rhode Island, two from
Texas and five from Massachusetts.
Astor's Stipend
Vincent Astor's income amounted to
$3,750,000 during 1920, and he paid
tax of $2,40O,0 900.
James A. Stillman, president of the
National City Bank, as we'll as Thos.
F. Ryan, Daniel GuGgenheim, Chas.
M. Schwab, J. P. Morgan and Joseph
Widener had an estimated income of
$3,500,000 and paid approximately ST.
AGO. 900 as an income tax.
Henry Phipps, however, and James
B. Duke, like Jacob H. SchifF and
Pierre S. du Pont, had incomes slightly
in excess of $2.5OO,O00 and We're re-
quired to pay over $1,60O,0OO as re-
suit.
Doing Fairly Well
Of 17S who had net incomes of |
$500, 900 to $1,OOO.OOO, 46 made from
$750,O0O to s1.O0O.00o, and 1872 cor
rallied between 100000 to $75O0O0.
The average tax paid by each per-
son in the country who was subject :
to tax amounted to $254.S5 and the av-
erage tax rate was 7.08.
