evidently had either carried out these

that is making a decided hit with the
tourists. stopping here. 1t has never
been vacant since it was built; just
as soon as one party packs up and
leaves, another moves in. For the
past week a number of tourists STOP
ping there have been questioned re-
garding the kitchen, being especially
interested in finding out if the kitch-
en- met the tourists requiIlments.
Each one questioned praised it highly
and stated that nowhere had they
found anything that would equal it,
and said that they were surprised
that someone had not thought of this
novel idea of making things comfort
able for the auto tourists before.
The kitchen is about eight feet
wide and ten feet long, and furnished
with a good kitchen range, table and
chairs. Closed on three sides, the
other side has a side wall for about
one-third of the way up, the balance
is left open so as to' give the tenants
fine view of the grounds and still
be protected from the weather. When
completed. no doubt some kind of a
shutter will be provided so that this
opening can be closed should this be
desired. Electric lights will also be
installed just as soon as the electri-
clans get around to 1t.
Points of Interest.
The following letter pointing out
the points of interest in or near the
city is posted in the kitchen:

the talking was done with the hands
conveying thought by the sigr
language, but on this occasion the
speaker addressed them like he
would any other audience, only he
paused after each statement, to give

Watson, to repeat it in Shoshone.
The Indians in Council
The Indians to the number of 11C
bucks and sixty sQuaws and children,
sat around in great circle or stood
in little groups or reclined in pairs
or punches side by side with their
elbows on the grass and speaking in
low tones to one another. Here and
there a white man stood or reclined
among them, chatting, q group of
white women sat among the squaws
and children, here a light colored
man sat with q woman and children
whose skins were darker than his
own, and here and there young
woman, fairer than the rest, sat or
stood by a man of her own age and
took turns holding baby made in
blending of compilations and racial
features here and there told of love
and domestic cooperation between
the races, and of mutual interest in
assembling to listen to plans for CO.
operation in business and reclama-
ton. No chairs, no tables and no
benches interfered with the natural
surroundings of the race that lives
close to nature, and none wanted it
different. AS the senator and inter-
prefer spoke, a shorthand reporter
lay on the grass at their feet and
leisurely made hooks and loops with
his pencil on the paper pad, and a
newspaper man and a senator's
daughter sat in the center of the
circle jotting down what they chose,
and taking observations of the spirit
of the occasion as manifested by the
rows and groups of individuals who
ranged around them facing in.

the finest men Of your tribe whose
names you will now recall, and
Tendoi,- your great chief up at
Lemhi. You didn't like to farm in
those days. My interpreter here, Mr..
Watson, is one of the young men
who doesn't even remember these
names whom l recall. l am very
sure about this, your friends in
Washington all want you to take ad-
vantage of these splendid irrigated
lands and do more farming. Play in
the winter time and work in the
summer time.
81 hear rumOrs around, but want
to say this to my old friends, these
Indians: This water belongs to you,
and there will be no exchange of any
of your water for someone else's
water unless they have plenty of
water to exchange with us. Your
own great project is being completed
and will be completed regardless of
anything else. After your project is =
completed, which will be within
year or two, you will then be in
position and be ready to discuss an
interchange of your water for some
ones else water, provided those who
wish to make the trade can convince
you that they have water for ex-
change. Some five years ago (if l
am not correct you gentlemen can
correct me) Tom Cosgrove and Ralph

they had to say to the Washington
people. l went with them to A. P.

wild flowers that merely bloom in
spring and then wither and blow
away when parched with heat and
drouth of the natural environment.
Some Indian Leaders
In the circle were leading Indian
characters such as Billy George, Pat
Tyhee, Ralph Dixey, Tom Cosgrove,
Joe Holbrook, James Watson,
Topombe Tindoy, Teetoby, Tindore,
Tom Edmo and wife, Charles Diggie.
Julia Ballard, Jennie Baker, Veda
Mitz, Mrs. Garfield Pocatello, Lizzie
Edmo and Sarah Pokibro. Indian
police present were Ben Smith and
Frank Wittembogan and Indian
court judges were Tom Edmo and
Charles Diggie. In the group were
persons who had been required to
come before the court and listen to
evidence given to show that they had
not lived up to what was expected OF
them and in such cases when the
judges had said the word, the con-
demned had hung his head and
walked to the skookemhouse at the
edge of the grove and made that his
home until he had tailed of the
number of days mentioned by theI
judge as the amount of time it would
take for him to reflect sufficiently
to again step forth among his fellows
with full rights like them. And in
those slowly dragging days he re-
ported every morning to the Indian
farmer and went out and did what
he was told, whether it was to cut
brush, or plant potatoes or irrigate |
and pitch hay he did his part and
returned at shutdown to his reflec-
tions Only one has disobeyed
orders and pointed his moccasins
toward the hills in the night, and
the trailers brought him back and
told him that because his heart was
so bad he would now have to sit both
night and day within the cabin with
the door locked to take the place of
the lock that ought to exist within
his bosom.
How the Indians Dress
Some of those in the circle wore
but most of them had the
white mans leather shoes and the
other clothes Most of the men wore
big hats that keep off the sun, some
hats of black with high crowns
shaped like a half of a watermelon
with the point up, some hats of gray
and some of brown. but all cloth
hats and not of straw. Many wore
large colored handkerchiefs about
their necks, and some wore them
with one edge under the hat and the

hills and the wild horses among the
high perks. While the red man
finds the best chicken shooting and
the best places to sport with trout,
Dubois gets the broader vision and
dreams of dams and siphons, tun-
nels, canals and power sites and
other possibilities of the future, with
Indians drawing wealth from the
possession of natural resources pro-
tected rather than getting poorer
from natural resources squandered
or surrendered. While Dubo'
winters In Washington, he takes oc-
casion to advise department heads of
the condition of their resources on
the reservation and what will be
necessary to keep track Of, to avoid
losses or sacrifices for the govern
ment and the Indians, where law and
nature run counter to each other. so,
while Dubois proves himself the
friend of all parties, each succeeding
years proves the truth and correct
ness of what he told them the year
BEFORE, yi. -
A Dream Of Empire
In the development Of recent
years, Mr.. Dubois has counseled the
Indians and the whites and the gov
eminent to form closer union of
reclamation interests combined with
power and light, to harness every
thing not already appropriated, from
the lower reaches of the river Black
foot to its head, and to turn Lineup
creek "a roaring river) thru tun-
mel to keep it from flowing intol
Wyoming and Snake river, pour 1t
into Gray's Lake (John Days lake,
from Grays Lake, thru the watershed
into upper Blackfoot and the reser-
voir, turn the stored water thru the
Blackfoot canyon, arrest 1t again and
turn it thru the divide inc the Port
Neuf valley, pour it thru a tunnel
into the Ross Fork basin and some
of 1t into Lincoln valley, and with
power plants and reclamation works
re-enact a scene of 800 years ago
when Indians and white men on the |
banks of the Delaware, when they
together viewed their potential
wealth and adopted that famous
slogan, 80 long as the rivers run
and the sun shines, we will live in
peace"
Another Empire
Now that the white men have
taken in more territory than was in
cluded in the Dubois dreams, and
are moving forward on plans to build
the American Falls reservoir and
submerge somewhere from thirty
thousand to fifty thousand acres of
their rich bottom lands, the Indians
are concerned over the protection of
their rights and the way to CO.
operate with the schemes of the pale
face and not get left out of the
division in the day of settlement.
Building Signal Fires
AS soon as Mr.. Dubois arrived
from Washington last week, he
talked things over with local chiefs,
both white and red, and they built
signal fires in the various sources of
information such as the printing
press, the telephone, the ditch riders
and the mounted Indian police, and
passed the word out to all the offices
and teepes, that on Saturday 1t
would be well to all sit down to-
gether in the great shade at FIT. Hall
