his statement that the Indians were
Nez Percesa
The mistake of Catlin and others
in this respect is explained as fol
lows; The Nez Perces were a large
and influential tribe dwelling in a
country easy of access. The Flatheads
numbered only a few hundred living
In the heart of the Rocky mountains.
The Nez Perces tribe was therefore
we'll known and ven General Clark
spoke of Flatheads who visited him
in st. Louis as Nez Perces.
Catlin named the two Indians
whose pictures are referred to as
Hee-Oh'ks-te-kin Rabbit-skin-leg-
gins) and H'co-ah'cotes-min (No-
horns-on-his-head) which it is de-
clared, on authority, to be corrupt
Nez Perces. Since the Flatheads and
Nez Perces lived side by side, visited,
lived together at times, and intermar-
ried, the corruption is accounted o
in that way.
Polygamy Among Indians
If the Flathead was not a polygam-
list, he appears to have had no scru-
pies about marrying, in succession,
three or four women Likewise, when
he became Christian he bowed abso-
lutely to the dictates of the church
and made these laws retroactive.
Even among the very best of the
Indians" says the author, "the BELIEF
prevailed that, ever after marriage,
they were still free, and justified In
sending away their first wife and
marrying another at pleasure"
Catholic missionaries at once at
tackled this practice with successful
results. "But the greatest difficult
ties, beyond doubt" says the writer,
were on the part of the Indians, of
those especially who had left a first
wife, if not a second and third. to
marry another, and who, at the bid
ding of the ministers of God, would
have to give up the latter, or last, and
to the first. What heart
aches! But Gods grace abounded
among these earnest children of the
wilderness, and so wondrously that
heroic sacrifices they would
make lightly and with a cheerful

The distinction of being the first

to accept the gold the priest was cyni-

TATHER L. B. ~PALLADINO,
Il associate of DeSmet and RAJ

associate OF DeSmet and Ia
valli, pioneer priests who ar
rived in Montana before the Argo-
nauts, has written a history of the
Indian and White in the North
west" in which he goes into much
lore of the earliest coming of the
white man that is new to the aver
age reader. The edition is grace
fully written and edited with evil
dent care. In it are found a num-
Der of illustrations of compelling
interest to the Montanan, some of
them treasures to the historian.
Early day Genes and people, Ind
ian maps and notes in crude hero
glyphics take the reader back to
the middle of the eighteenth cen
fury when an exploring expedition
of the De la Verendryes, having
reached the southeast corner of
what is now the state of Montana,
met the first Flathead ever seen by
white men.
Just why the Flathead Indians are
called by that name Father Palladino
never learned. The heads of their
children were lever flattened. The
reverend author notes that the Flat
heads we're known by another lame

tribe there was but one man who had

The author explains the presence
of the "e's at the end of Captain
Clarke's name, which was so general
ly used a decade ago. General
Clark" he says, "never signed him
self but plain, unaristocratic Clark.
However, in the first London edition
Lewis and Clarke's Travels the

proper spelling of his name, at least

Larger Acreage in Spring Wheat

That there will be more spring
than ever before is the gist of reports
reaching Miles City. Although the
Coa1wood territory has always been
a good wheat producing section, the
farmers there propose to make it the
best in the state.

1t Is believed that past experiences
justify the sowing of large acreages
of wheat newt spring and farmers are
looking forward to an early season.
The work of sowing grain will start
early in March provided there is no
weather.
