Indian Chiefs Will Make a New Tribe
of Scrihes u.

Glacier Park Station, Mont. May II
In preparation for entertainment Of
members Of the National Editorial
Association on their arrival in Gla-
cier National Park during their Mon
tana tour in July, the Blackfeet In
dian council already has appointed it's
reception committee to greet the edi-
tors in genuine "aborigine fashion,"
The welcoming Redmen will consist Of
the tribal chiefs of the Glacier Nation
al Park reservation, Two Guns, White
Calf, Eagle Calf, Wolf Robe, Many
Tail Feathers, Heavy Breast, Turtle,
Lazy Boy, Middle Rider, Big Springs
and Curley Bear. This array of full.
bloods, attired in beaded buckskins
and feathered regalia will present a
dazzling sight to the quill showers"
from among whose tribe each of the
Indian chiefs will select subjects for
initiation into their own tribe. The
adoption ceremony attending the TAX
ing of white men into the Blackfeet
tribe is picturesque proceeding.
The pale face subjects, stripped to
the waist, are arranged, kneeling,
within circle of Indians. Amid the
tumult of beating tomtoms and solemn
chanting Of the adoption song each
chief paints his family hieroglyphics
upon the bare back of the white man
he is to sponsor with an Indian name.
Wallace O'Dell president of the
New York Editorial Association, is
known to be under consideration as
one of the prospective subjects for
adoption, and it is understood the In
dams have been in communication
with the executive officers of the N.
E. A., seeking the names Of other
state editorial chiefs. The Indians
are bent on honoring real chiefs like
themselves and they naturally regard
the editorial chiefs as the. ones who

matter has been before the present
Congress, there has been plenty Of
good material in the newspapers,
magazines, and especially the Con-
gressional Record. The question is
within the reach of the average high
school debating team. The final de-
bate will without doubt be an unusu-
ally interesting one.
In the semi-final contest there were
ihree teams. Mayville was given a
bye. Because it was impossible during
the winter to arrange for a contest
between Bowman and some other
school, it was necessary to drop Bow
man from the list although the
school was not defeated.
Turtle Lake and Crosby were pair
en-; Crosby won the decision. May
vile was in the final contest last year
winning over Dickinson. The person
mel Of the teams remains the same:
Manda Doe, Lillian Fores and Roy F
Standahl. The Crosby team includes
Harold Trotter, Richard Truax, and
Miss GIFTS. This will be the 18th an.
nual state debate.

"When it comes to building man

that is in the same class with Tan

St., South Minneapolis, MINI.
"My troubles all started with my

finally got to the place where ! could
hardly eat anything at all. For
breakfast | never did more than drink
a glass of milk and at the other meals

I could just feel that my strength

was about as discouraged and worried
as man could be.
"Tanlac brought me the relief I

Drake Mill is Making Profit

:. Bismarck, N. D.,-The Drake -four
mill, owned and operated by the state,
is now doing little better than break
ing even, according to a report made
today by Lewis F. Crawford, secre-
:tary Of the Industrial commission.
The mill shows a net operating in
come Of $2,O22.14 since Jan. l., to
which is added $70.93 as interest on
daily bank balance, Mr.. Crawford
reports. To this income must be
charged, he said,- one third of a years
interest which is $1,138.57, or total
of $1,60O.O5 leaving net profit of
$492.22 for the four months since
Jan. l. @
"This net profit" the report says,
"is properly subject to a depreciation
charge Of about five per cent a year
on the basis of $4,000 valuation of
the plant, in addition to repairs, bolt
ing cloths and other necessary sup
plies, which have already been paid
for and charged to expense. But even
with this five percent depreciation
charge we are little ahead for the
four months period under considera-
ton. @
"The interest above charged is fig
ured on the net amount still owed to
the industrial ommission-Y56, 0Ol. ~
at the rate Of six per cent-after the
past losses of $3O,333!50, as per
Bishop, Brissman's report, have been
charged off. It would be folly to
charge the. Drake mill interest on
losses already sustained and which
there is not the remotest chance of
recovering. ., {
"The Drake mill, of course, pays no
taxes Mr.. Crawford says net oper-
ating expenses were less in April,
1922, by $532.31 than in April, 1921,
and sales for the same period were
increased by $5,553.83.
During the period under consid-
Grafton the laboratory tests have cost
$144.25 in improving the quality Of
the flour to meet commercial require
ments. The ash contents Of the flour
is still little high, but it is as good
as can be made with the present
securing and separating machinery.
"Owing to scarcity in the Drake
vicinity we get little wagon wheat;
this necessitates our bringing in
wheat from, other points at greater
cost"

For the comfort of these men it may
be said the ceremony is not nearly so
trying as being tarred-and-feathered
by the Ku Klux Khan, since the vege-
table dyes used by the Indians readily
wash off with ordinary soap and water.
Mrs. Medicine Weasle, who has charge
of the "color caldron" will be very
busy woman during all the month of
May directing the flying squadron of
squaws that will roam the Rocky
Mountain slopes gathering roots and
herbs which will be stepped to produce
all the colors of the rainbow that are
to decorate the backs of the "class of
editorial chief, that is to be honored
on this gala occasion.
The Blackfeet Indian Council has
the Great Northern Railway, one of
the charter members Of it's tribe Of
adopted Pale Face Brothers" asking
him to issue formal invitations to all
white men and women in the United
States who have been taken into the
Blackfeet tribe, urging as many as can
be present in July when the "big ini>
tiation ceremony of the editors" takes
place. The Indians keep record of
all Of their adoptions, each accepted
pale face member signing his own
name and his Indian name with the
historical mammoth Golden Eagle
quill that has been handed down
through generations by the chiefs Of
the Blackfeet tribe. The tribal ledger
contains the names of several humid
red white people many of them men
and women of national distinction. Mr..
Hills Indian name is Gray Horse
Rider.
Thus the editors on this tour, after
viewing the agricultural stretches of
Montana, taking part in the semi-cen-
tennial celebration Of the establish
ment of Yellowstone Park and finish
ing their business meeting in Missoula
will find very interesting part of
their program is to take place when
they reach the famed erstwhile hunt
ing grounds of the Blackfeet Indians
in the Rocky Mountains of Glacier
National Park.

Mandan Figures in u. S. History

Mandan, N. D.,-Mandan, which
out where the west begins," at one
time may have been the cradle of
civilization for North America, north
of New Mexico.
The Mandan Indians are Fin per-
sonal appearance as well as intelli-
gence the superiors of any Indians
living north Of New Mexico" accord
ing to John Fiske, the historian.
They were first discovered by the
brothers LaVerendrye in 1742. In
1888 most of the tribe was swept
away by smallpox.
Catlin, g. a historian, who visited
them in the middle of. the 10th cen
fury was so impressed by their cul-
ture that he ascribed white blood to
them. He went back to the misty
tradition of Welsh prince, Madoc,
said to have sailed for America in
ITO, to provide white forbears for
the tribe. To substantiate this theory
he made list of many names which
sound alike in Welsh and Mandan.
He believed that Madoc might have
sailed up the Mississippi and the
Missouri rivers to the present site Of
Mandan. ~, .s,.
Fiske believed that the Mandans
may be the. descendants of lost
race of mound builders, remains Of
whose villages, exist in the Ohio and
Mississippi valleys today. -
There is no record that mother
right" prevailed among the Mandans
as it did among some of the Ameri-
can red men. This is system Of
reckoning descent from the mother. p
This tribe was noted because it
had the finest communal or apart
ment houses known in America north
