WARM WEATHER MELTING
 MT. RAINIER GLACIERS

TACOMA, March 13 With much cold weather, snow and ice on Puget Sound this winter, many old timers are declaring that the climate is be- coming more severe. But their mem ory is failing them, in the opinion of those who keep precise figures on weather conditions, and Puget Sound, if anything, is becoming warmer year by year.
 One of the best reasons for the dec laration that the weather is becom- ing warmer is that the glaciers on Mt. Rainier are slowly receding. It is known that Nisqually glacier has re- ceded 76O feet since Lieut.. A. V. Kautz of the United States Army visited it in 1857 and left his mark. In 1921 this glacier retreated 106 feet, and in recent years the average recession has been fifty feet year.
 Raymond P. Tarr, local geologist, who has studied the glacier, says the annual retreat is due to warmer weather or decline in moisture. The rainfall figures for the last twenty five years indicate no dimunition of moisture, so that an increase of tenn perature, averaging only siX-tenths of degree per year, is held responsible for the melting of the great glacier.

to be pronounced feeling among
them that they are entitled to
greater consideration from the
Government than they have been
accorded. They realize, it is de.
clared, that their land is wholly
inadequate for their support in an
agricultural way, and that while it
may have been sufficient for them
at the time they took it owing to
the presence of game, there is now
absolutely no game in the country
and they must turn their attention
to agricultural pursuits or to COM
mon labor on public or private
works.
Only small percentage of the

They make no apparent apprecia-
tion of the duties of citizen or of

30 years or more a missionary has
been maintained in their midst and
as a general rule the wife of the
missionary has taught school for
them. AS result some of the

These and other reasons have led
the investigators to believe the

Ben Roy Dies At
Agency Hospital.
Big Bend Resident Suceumbs 10 Kidney
Disease and Cancer at Hospital Here
Last Saturday.

Ben Roy, member of this reser.
vation and a resident of Big Bend
died at the hospital here last Sat
urday al $3.50 o'clock in the after
noon after an illness of about four
weeks. Mr.. Roy was brought to
the hospital about two weeks ago
suffering with kidney and bladder
trouble and was already in very
serious condition. Last week it
was decided to perform an opera
ton in an effort to save his life,
accordingly DR.. Weeks of Detroit
was summoned to aid DR.. Abbott,
who is in charge of the hospital
here, after a thorough examination
however, the patient was found to
be too weak to undergo the shock
of an operation and that he was
also afflicted with cancer directly
over the afflicted organs and an
operation would be of no avail.
He fingered until Saturday after
noon when he passed peacefully
way. Mr.. Roy was we'll known
throughout the reservation and
was held in high esteem by all
who knew him. He was 65 years
of age at the time of his death.
Besides his wife he leaves eight
children to mourn his loss, four
boys and four girls, namely;
Frank, Louis and David, of Big
Bend; and Charles, of Mission,
South Dakota; Mrs. Ed. Rowley,
of Federal Dam; Mrs. Clyde Can

Make It Nation Wide.

Daily we read of grade crossing
accidents with the inevitable death
list. Warning devices, gates,
flagmen and even approaching
trains which are in plain sight fail
to deter many drivers in their mad
attempts to cross tracks without
hesitating a few seconds. In their
determination to eliminate crossing
accidents, the cities of North Chi
cago, ILL.,, and Waukegan, Wiscon-
sin, have passed ordinances which
provide that all vehicles, automo
biles, trucks and other convey
ances propelled by animal or other
power and used in, and upon the
streets and public highways within
the city limits, shall when ap
preaching a railroad crossing, be
brought to full stop ten feet
therefrom and the driver ascertain
if the way is clear before proceed
ing to cross. Penalty for violating
the ordinance Is a fine of not less
than S. or more than 5000 for
each offense. Similar city ordin
ances or state laws throughout the
country would reduce to a mini
mum the grade crossing toll which
runs between 10000 and 15,000l
persons annually. Such a law
which saves life would be, instead
of an expense to the taxpayers, a
money maker through fines COL
lected for law breaking.

Forgotten Indians.
(The Indian Leader.)

(lhe 1ndlan Leader.)
Forgotten by almost everyone,
including the Great White Fa-
ther" at Washington, there dwels
today amid the pine woods and
swamps of southeast Texas the last
surviving tribal element of the
once numerous and powerful
Texas Indian bands.
The Indians of Polk County.
Texas, are known to the Depart
ment Of the Interior as Alabamas,
for want of a better name. Eth
nologists, however, declare they
are undoubtedly a branch of the
Choctaws, becoming separated
from that strong branch duriug
the migrations westward and SET
ting up nation of their own that
has persisted to this day, despite
the constant encroachments of
white civilization and their own
rapidly dwindling numbers,
The Alabamas are more than a
mere band of Indians. They own
their own reservation, small as it
is, by virtue of grant from the
State of Texas. Their blood is
pure, for during their long resi-
dence in Texas dating from 1916,
they have never permitted inter
marriage with either whites or
negroes. SO far as is known every
member of the tribe is a full blood
and the only element alien in any
way is the inclusion Of seven Cou-
shatta Indians.
Until few years ago the Ala
bamas we're not even subject to
the laws of Texas other than for
offenses against the property
rights or the persons of their
white neighbors. Their internal
affairs were looked after by ehief
who administered justice accord
ing to aboriginal theories of right
and wrong and to the entire salts
faction of his followers. Even now
their subsection to the State is
more or less nominal.
Attention was called to the tribe
and an appropriation of $4,000 for
their benefit was included in the
Indian appropriation bill. For
the support and education of the
Indians in Polk County, Texas"
the item read. Insignificant as it
was, it created no little comment
for the existence of the tribe was
unknown to even those versed in
the history of Texas.
However, the Alabamas were
Texans before the territory was
more than a name to the major
portion of the United States. They
first came here in 1916, and al
though the revolution of 1886
caused them to retnrn temporarily
to Louisiana. they came back
again few years later to remain.
They have resided on their present
lands in Polk County, near Living
ston, since 1854, and have lived in
peace and quiet with their neigh
bors. During all their residence
there only twice have they ever
been known to do any harm to
thsir white brothers.
The history of the Alabamas is
not the usual one of western In.
dians. II contains no burning
pages of defiant resistance to the
white mans westward push, no
sagas of the Red Mans bravery

A Communication.

Mr.. l.. Logan,
(The Tomahawk,)
White Earth, MINI.
Dear Sir
l have just arrived home from
Minnesota. visited Grand
Marais, Grand Portage, and all
along the north shore. Mr.. Logan
you ought to listen to the poor
Indians talk about how they are
treated by the Indian Agent at
Cass Lake.
One old man who is over 80
years old and blind, and his wife
is just as old, his land was sold by
the agent three years ago but they
never have seen one cent yet.
Seven other old men told US the
same story about their lands.
When they write in to the
Office at Cass Lake they never re-.
ceive an answer. 1t is dirty
shame-no one to help them, not
even an Indian farmer on the res.
ervation. So all the poor Indian
can do is to sit with his head down
and let Indian agents take all be
has and say nothing.
When arrived home Satur-
day night the first thing looked
for was The ToMAHAwK. My wife
said, pay the subscription" You
will find it inclosed.
Yours truly,
Joseph G. Gordon.

gain. The reservation allotted
them was composed of swamp
land, pine wood ridges and sandy
beach. Owing TO tho presence of
wild game in abundance it at first
served them we'll enough.
As the game disappeared, how
ever, they we're forced to turn
from hunting and fishing to their
own pursuits. They learned to
make reed baskets, dressed deer
skins, make moss saddle rugs, and
engaged in barter for cloth and
wearing apparel. Their only crops
were corn, sweet potatoes, and a
few vegetables and fruits.
Late they learned to raise the
crops of the country, bnt their
agricultural efforts have always
remained imperfect, according to
the Government agents. Cotton
picking and work in the sawmills
and logging camps has helped to
keep them alive of late years.
They are much attached to the
peighborhood, despite its draw

and fortitude. Rather it is the
faithful chronicle of people,
homeless through no fault of its
own, battling against a changed
environment under the most dis,
couraging circumstances.
Originally numbering almost
500, the tribe today has dwindled
to 206 men, women and children.
Its small reservation, comprising
LILO acres, never very fertile at
its best, has become so impover-
ished as TO make production
therefrom wholly inadequate for
their support" the Bureau of In,
dian Affairs delares.
"A few of their number exc
out a rather miserable existence
through the cultivation of the soil,
but by far the larger number OBJ
tain their livelihood by working
for the lumber company engaged
in cutting the timber on the sur
rounding lands, the cutting of
which is Dearing its end. "
In 1917 Commissioner Sells sent
an agent among the Alabamas to
CLEAN something of their history
and their present condition. Virtu.
ally the only data the Government
has concerning them is the result
of this survey, which the then
Commissioner declared to be au-
thentic and complete.
The band. it is known, formerly
resided in the State of Alabama.
Toward the close of the eighteenth
century it emigrated to southern
or southwestern Louisiana. where
it remained until about 1915, when
it started westward again, stop.
ping in Texas. Its stopping place
was at or near what is now known
as Peach Tree Village, in Tyler
County.
Here the band remained, hunt.
ing and fishing until 1885, when
the Texas revolution commenced.
Having no wish to become en-
broiled in the quarrels of their
white neighbors the Alabamas
pulled up stakes and went back to
Louisiana. When fully convinced
the war was over the Red Men
started again for Texas, settling
on what is known as Horse Pen
Greek, in Tyler County, between
Peach Tree Village and Wood
Vile.
Their home here took the name
of the Fenced in Village'' and
here they were happy and content
ed for a number of years. Game
was plentiful, the rivers full of
fish and there was nothing to dis
turb their serenity. Civilization
was constantly making its inroads
on their hunting grounds, and 1t
was finally decided it would be
best for all concerned to move the
tribe.
In consequence the Alabamas
we're given their present home of
1,110.7 acres in Polk County to
which they moved in 1854. As
usual, however, the unsophisticated
Indian got the worst of the bar
gain. The reservation allotted
them was composed of swamp
land, pine wood ridges and sandy
beach. Owing to tho presence of
wild game in abundance it at first
served them we'll enough.

ever, they were forced to turn
