Chief Red Feather, the Indian who
is appearing at the Grand this eve
ming has a very interesting personal
history. One day while he was a small
boy playing around his home in Okla
homa, stranger rode up and asked
him for something to eat. The little
fellow gave the stranger a good meal
and was asked about his family.
When the stranger finished his meal
he asked if the boy would give him
some food for some friends of his who
were close to the cabin. The boy as
sented and went with the stranger to
hiding place not far away where he
found band of men with their horses
all saddled, but all at rest. They ate
with great relish the food that was
brought, and then one of them called
the Indian lad and stuffed his pockets
with money in large bills. They also
gave him a letter to take to his folks
saying that the boy must be sent to
school. The leader in this unusual in
cident was none other than Jesse
James, the famous bandit and bank
robber. The boy was sent immedi-
ately to Philadelphia and entered in
the schools there. Coming home for
Christmas two years later he found
$500 in bills tied to twig on bush
near his cabin, from the same source.
The letter is still preserved, and is a
much valued document. The boy
completed his schooling, and did not
know until long afterwards who his
benefactor was. The Chief will be
heard again this evening the Grand
and will sing three Indian songs: "Day
by Day." "Gimme the Leavings," and
"Indian Engagement Song"

days trip to Saskatchewan, where
they visited with O z. MCGEE, man.
ager of a large farm near Redvers.
They made the trip by auto, and found
the roads both bad and good, having
40 miles of mud OH the trip. Crops
generally were about the same as
around Valley City. The best yield of
wheat was reported at Sherwood, N.
D., where man had threshed % BUSH
els to the acre. The best rye yield was
in Saskatchewan, about SO miles north
Of the border, where field threshed
cut 81 bushels per acre. One strip of
territory was crossed where there was
almost nothing-the country between
Fessenden and Drake. Stock general
~ was in fine condition, and feed
plentiful. Many fine fields of corn
were seen, all of good quality. Bust
ness conditions in Canada were re-
ported much easier than in the states.
Wheat prices were higher, No. Mar
nuis bringing S1.92 on the Winnipeg
market. Money was easier to get
and people generally quite optimistic.
One feature noted was the increase of
the amount of stock on the farms
ord ranches, especially sheep. Most

strongly. and there is much interest
in that kind of development.
