INDIANS THREATEN
TO BOOTLEG DANCE
IF THEY BOTHERED
Say They Have Right to
p, Use Tribal Inheritance
for Profit.

Ponca City. Okla, March TO-
Ugh" followed by several "ughs"
indicates the Indians reaction TO the
warning of Indian Commissioner
Charles II. Burke against dancing for
the red man. .,
Or, as the young braves with the
sheik hair cuts. say, where does he
get that stuff" Indians have been
dancing in America for thousands of
years. If the white man passes his
blue laws then Indians will boot
leg their dances.
Now speaks Chief Horse Eagle OF
the Poncas.
oklahoma Indians spend less time
dancing in year than white folks do
in one month This in answer TO
Burke's request that the Indians
spend more time working their fields
and less time in ceremonials at seed
time. rain and harvest.
"What if the Poncas do give away
to the visiting tribes. We get it all
back when we go visiting, sort of a
$3.50 proposition"
1--WE Indians dance so much be-
cause we need money" Horse Eagle
said. I'VE have very few ways of OBJ
tanning ready cash. Why should we
not use our tribal dances, the in
heritance of hundreds of years, to
earn part of our living? They are
ours.
Our dances are considered among
the most artistic in America. Pro-
fessional dancers of America and
from foreign countries come to us to
learn our dances and to copy them
AS for snake dances, which Burke
banned as barbarous. Horse Eagle de-
MED that they were held in Okla
homa or that Indians even handle the
horrible things"
There is very little gambling among
the Poncas and Otaoes, the chief de-
clared.
Indian missionaries here declared
that the government would do better
if it paid more attention to keeping
''peyote," the fermented juice of the
mescal bean and other fire water
away from the Indians and let the
dancing continue.
Blue laws they believe, will only
drive the ceremonials under cover and
result in their degradation.

Capt. William NJ. (Bill) Hanson,

Dan S. Kuykendall and formal an
nouncement of his appointment is ex-
pected to be made by the Department
of Labor Monday. The statement from
the department has been withheld,
Captain Hanson said, so that In
spector Kuykendall could make ap-
plicatlon for transfer.
Dispatches sent out of Washing
ton late Saturday it was stated, to
the effect that Captain Hanson had
been named head of a ranger force
to operate along the international
boundary under the supervision Of
Chief Inspector Berkshire ut FL Paso,
where inaccurate. Captain Hanson

patches that. while b, will be inter-

the border, his position will be that

No Official Notice.
Inspector Kuykendall has received
no official notice of the impending
change, according to a statement is
sued by the inspector, Saturday night.
Il will be unable to make any state
ment until i have received official
notice from Washington" Inspector
Kuykendall said.
For several weeks, rumors have
been current in the federal building.
that Captain Hanson was seeking the
position held by Mr.. kuykendall. For
time the rumors were stilled by a
counter rumor TO the effect that since
the position Of immigration inspector
| came under the civil service rules
that it would constitute a bar to the
appointment of Captain Hanson.

vided for Captain Hanson in the fed
eral building, the rumor that he was
engaged as a special investigator i'll
the Stone and " ebster case was never
verified. Neither he nor United States
District Attorney John ID. Hartman is

of the rumor.
1t is believed in many quarters that
the appointment of Captain Hanson
by an executive order of the Presi-
dent would override the civil SER
vice rules.
At the time the rumor. were cur
rent~in San Antonio, it was pointed
out that there is Joker in the I'M

very seldom used. Section "a of the
immigration laws provides for the ap-
pointment of persons to enforce the
contract alien labor laws, without re-
gard to civil service regulations. APP
pointments of this nature may be
made by the Secretary of Labor with
the approval Of the Commissioner OF
immigration.

sewer connections. They will be a
decided credit to the appearance OF
Eagle River and will go quite way
in relieving the housing stringency
that has handicapped the company
since bringing their mill here. 1t has
often been the case that valuable men
have had to leave the company en-
ploy owing to the fact of having
families with no place to live and
generally when house was found
the rental asked was in excess of
it's financiaE and convenience value
and prohibitive for the man with a
family to buy food and clothing for.
In view of the future effects in keep
ing desirable men, the decision OF
the company to furnish them houses
is a good one.

DOES NOT GIVE UP ITS DEAD


What is the mystery about Trout
Lake? This is not the first summer
that this question has been asked, as
many times before has Trout Lake re
fused to give up its dead. The most
reasonable solution to the mystery
seems to be the theory about the great
underground river which is said to
flow into the Gulf of Mexico. If this
river exists, and # Trout Lake drains
into this river ..y means of an under
ground channel, we can very we'll
understand why some of those who
are drowned in Trout Lake are never
found again, as the whirl of the cur
rent sweeps them into the subteran
can stream thus preventing their bod
les to be found for all time to come.
The reasons for believing that this
river exists and that Trout Lake flows
into this river are as follows:
First, there are trout in Trout Lake
The theory is that these trout got into
the lake through the subteranean
river.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1923-08-09

Second, there is a strong, downward
current in Trout Lake. Every one in
this vicinity has always known this
and lately this fact has been sustain
ed by divers.
Third, there is a spot in the Gulf
of Mexico where a great stream gush
es into the salty waters crowding out
the salt water in such quantities that
ships stop there to replenish their
fresh water supply
And if all this is true about the
great subterranein river flowing from
Lake Superior to the Gulf of Mexico
and if Trout Lake is a feeder to this
river, there may be a reason why
Trout Lake does not always give up
it's dead Minocqua Times.
