Guiding the UncpaIris under Sitting Bull and Gall
and the Ogalalas under Crazy Horse, were hunting
In the Powder river country. They held this within
their rights, under the treaty. But the commits
siOner of Indian affairs decided that they must
main near the agencies assigned them and sent out
word that unless they had returned by February
l, 1876, they would be considered hostile and SOL
ders would be sent to bring them in. They did
not return, for they had not finished their hunting
so the Department Of the Interior turned them over
TO the War deuartment
The result is history the history of the great
Sioux war of 1s76-77. 1t includes the attack made
by General Custer on the big Indian camp on the
Little Big Horn and the great victory won by the
hosts Of Gall and Crazy Horse; the campaigns of
Crook and Terry and Miles, with their inevitable
result for the Sioux. At the outbreak of the war
Spotted Tail, who had become known as Friend
OF the White Man." held the majority of the Brules
quiet Red Cloud and his Ogaaas were surrounded
by General Mackenzie before they could take the
war trail. disarmed, dismOunted and kept under
surveillance throughout the war. At the end of
the war Crazy Horse having been crushngly de-
feated by Miles, had come into the agency and sur
rendered. Sitting Bull and Gall had been driven
into Canada.
Then another commission was appointed to treat
with the Sioux. The document, which the white
men had prepared in advance, gave the Dakotas
certain reservations In North and South Dakota
where they were to receive specified rations until
they were able to support themselves. But there
was no mention Of giving back to them the Black
Hills or the buffalo country of the Powder and
Yellowstone rivers.
Gone were all the dreams of the Sioux of receiv.
ing a vast sum of money for "Pahsappah" their
storehouse of gold There was no talk Of being
paid for mining rights for the absolute ren-
qulshment of the Hills. Defeated dlsmounted dis
armed there was nothing for them to do but sign
the treaty offered them. There was tragic note
in the grimly humorous remark of American Horse
an Ogaala chief, when he said "If YOU have 70
wear gold slippers to enter the white mans heaven
no Indian will ever get there, for the whites have
the Black Hills and with them all the gold" So
the men Of the Dakota nation signed the treaty and
"Pah-sap-pah' was lost to them forever
And that is why the Sioux are on the warpatb TO.
day. The history Of the Black Hills since 1876
shows that the Sioux price of S7OOOOOOO was nor
eXorhitant for many times that amount of gold has
been taken out, not to mention the other forms of
wealth which modern industry has developed Now
they are asking for recompense of only 500 an
acre for the goldbearing lands and $50 an acre
for the forest lands

INCREASED COST
STOPS SCHOOL
BUILDING
a. I. Harris Reports That Ap-
preparations Prove Insuffi-
cient ii Many Cases.

Increased cost OF building III the
District may delay the erection OF
school buildings Tor which Congress
has made appropriat ions, Al. 4. Har-
ris, municipal architect. declares In
his annual report submitted to the
District Commissioners today.
cit has been with great difficulty
that buildings Of the present appro-
priation bill have been put under
contract, y Harris says.
Harris points out that recently he
sought bids one an eight-room ex.
tensible building at Rock Creek
Church road and Spring road. The
lowest bid was $147,OOO, which was
$4,000 above the appropriation. He
says that in May, 1922, . contract
was let for $1,000 to erect & buiI1-
ing similar to the one proposed,
showing an increased cost OF nearly
$50, 900.
"Manifestly, as the bids were based
on exactly the same building, the in
crease was due entirely to the jumps
in the cost Of building" he says. The
bids for the new building were re-
jected and Harris is now waiting for
better market conditions.
/. Harris recommends that when
Congress appropriates money for ex-
tensions to school buildings, the APP
preparation should designate that
part Of the money can be used for a
central heating plant. Under present
arrangements, he says, a separate
heating plant must be built for each
extension.
The municipal architect recon.
mends additional space around school
buildings. He says a grammar
school, including playground site,
should occupy not less than q city
block, and high schools proportion.
ately. =.
Preliminary studies for the home
for the feeble minded on the site
in Maryland just purchased have
been made and a general program
mapped out, the report says. The
buildings are to be on high ground
overlooking the Patuxent river,
leaving the level ground free FOR
| farming purposes.
Harris recommends that Congress
permit his office to spend 8 per cent
| of the total cost of all building pro.
| jects on drafting, superintendent
supplies and other miscella neous
items Of expense in connection with
/ the preparation of plans and spec,fi-

A feature Of the exposition, which

The appreciation OF period furni.

willingness Of the manufactures and

real appreciation OF fitness and

to broaden and amplifv what al.

Results cannot be obtained by

American people are more fortu-
