Attempts to secure the setting

opinion OF members of Congress-
who have been approached on the

SAVAGE MUSIC
J Of UTE TRIBE
! INTERPRETED
Interesting Publication De-
voted to Detailing Indian
War Songs.

The savage rhythm Of the indian
war songs and scalp dances. the
weird music of the sun dance, the
narrowing effect Of the war drums
unceasing throb, the meaning OF
the shrilling Of the, eagle-bone whis.
ues-an these are explained with
scientific precision in a new pub
ncation, Northern Ute Music" by
Frances Densmore, which has just
been recommended for publication
rs a bulletin Of the Bureau OF
American Ethnology by ]. Walter
Fewkes, chief of the bureau.
The manuscript contains a splen.
did collection OF all types Of music
Of the Northern Ute tribesmen,
with a complete analysis OF the
music, its derivation and meaning
and the occasion for its use.
Especially interesting is the de.
scription OF the manner in which
the music was recorded by the
Indians themselves. Many Of the
records have been recorded graph.
ically by the phonodeik, an instru'
ment which records the sound by O
line of varying thickness on Il
long, narrow film, which makes
possible an exceedingly accurate
analysis OF the rhythm and pitch
Of the music.
The dance songs and war songs
OF the Utes are accompanied by
the marache, "notched rattle
stick and resonator;;" the hand
drum and large drum; while the
hand game songs are accompanied
by beating on a horizontal pole,
and certain songs of the camp by
beating on a stiff rawhide.
Composition of the songs was
difficult to trace. Some of the sing
ers said that they had heard a
song in their Dreams" sang 1t, and
either awoke to find themselves
singing It aloud or remembered II
and were able to sing 1t. No infor.
nation was obtained as to any
other method Of producing songs
and there was absolutely no evi.
dence OF, the deliberate composition
OF a song.
The Utes developed a flute, oon.
structed of wood. which had a
whistle mouthpiece and finger
stops and is said to have an ex.
tended range and a rather pleasing
quality of tone. A member of the
tribe who had made such an instru.
ment said: American song tunes
cannot be played on 1t, but Indian
music can be played on It,"
One Of the most remarkable por-
tons of the collection Of songs is
that devoted to tunes used in the
treatment Of the sick. These songs
were sung to the patient in the
morning and again at night, the
length of the singing depending
upon the seriousness OF the illness.
In extreme cases the singing lasted
all night. members OF the family

ing. Fifteen of these songs are
recorded, Of which ten are in the
major tonality-a characteristic
associated with cheerfulness.
These songs devoted to the treat.
ment OF the sick show the most
musicianly quality Of the entire
collection. THE uniformity Of
pitch in successive songs suggests
mental concentration and among
musicians Of the white race would
be considered an evidence of mu.
sical ability" the manuscript
states. '''

Fumes in Well
Endanger Life

White River. June 29-F. w.
Schwant, operator of well drilling
machine, had narrow escape from
death on the Welch farm. five miles
south of the Happy Hollow church
He had been bothered with rocks at
the bottom of the hole and had put
down charge of dynamite to break
up the rock
When he resumed drilling after
exploding the charge the drill bucket
got fast and he went into the So
foot hole, which is Is inches in di-
ameter. to release the bucket.
He was overcome by gas fumes
soon after entering the well. At the
risk of his own life Roy Wagner was
lowered into the well and succeeded
in fastening rope around Schwant's
body, Schwant being unconscious.
Wagner himself had great difficult
ty in making his way to the top OF
the well, being greatly affected by
the gas fumes. Upon reaching the
surface himself and another man
pulled Schwant to safety.
Schwant's condition was critical al
the time he was rescued, but he now
is recovering.

MERCHANTS FOR
NEW RAIL RULE
SOUTH DAKOTANS IN FAVOR
OF ADOPTION OF THE
SWEET BILL.

Aberdeen, June 29-By referen-
dun to it's directors the Retail Mer-
chants association of South Dakota
has recently adopted resolution in
favor of the Sweet bill, according to
announcement made yesterday by e.
U. Berdahl, secretary of the state
merchants body.
The Sweet bill proposes that juris-
diction taken away from the state
railway commissions during govern
ment control of the railroads, and
jurisdiction taken away from these
commissions by the transportation
act of 1920 be restored to them.
Several Aberdeen organizations
such as the Commerce association
have also adopted resolutions recent
ly in favor of the Sweet bill.
The resolution adopted by the
state Merchants association is as
follows:
Whereas, there is now pending in
congress a proposed amendment to
the 1920 transportation act in a bill
known as the Sweet bill, restoring
the jurisdiction of the state railroad
commission over interstate rates,
fares, charges, etc.
Whereas, this association believ-
es that such jurisdiction should be
restored and believes that the state
railroad commission Is fully compe-
tent to fix reasonable and non-dis-
criminatory rates.
BE it therefore resolved, that the
Retail Merchants association of
South Dakota, through its board of
directors urged the South Dakota
members of the United States senate
and house of Representatives to sup
port the Sweet bill: and that copy
of these resolutions be sent to the
South Dakota senators and repre-
sentatives in congress and be given
such publicity as may be secured

UNITE TO CURB
MISSOURI RIVER
WILL SEEK TO co.
OPERATE In PREVENTING
DAMAGE ALONG STREAM.

Yankton, June 29-Plans have
chamber of commerce at Springfield,
for the organization of a Missouri
river development association, COM
prised of chambers of commerce or
commercial clubs, and perhaps of
citizens generally, in towns and cit
les located on the Missouri river be-
tween Chamberlain and Sioux City,
the purpose of which will be to Sc
cure and promote through pooling
of resources and effort, any improve
ment of the river and protection of
its banks, which it may be possible
to get.
Incorporation in South Dakota is
planned, and the proposition is now
being put before the civic bodies of
the localities affected. The Yank-
ton chamber of commerce has APP
proved the plan and signified its in
tention to aid in promoting the pro-
ject
Possibility of securing some aid
Aaoih tit iS Oilt
of the reasons for the move, It's pro
moters explain, but state and local
aid would be enlisted also. More can
be accomplished by united than by
individual community action both in
accomplishing direct results and in
securing congressional aid. 1t is be-
lieved, mad concerted and syste-
matte campaign will be waged by the
new organization.
Continuous loss of valuable land
along the Dakota side of the river
and constant uncertainty as to its
course are prompting the action. At
Springfield not only has valuable
land been lost, but the town is vir-
tually being robbed of its position on
the river which it has held since
founding over so years ago, and fer
ry landing must now be made sew
eral miles below town.
1t is expected that all towns and
cities affected will be glad to join in
the proposed effort to curb the Mis-
souri,, for all have suffered, and are
still suffering. to a considerable ex-
tent.
