Lewis and Clark.
Father Was Prominent
The name Of his father, Major An
drew Dawson, is intimately assOci-
ated with early history of the north
west and an Illuminating review of
the majors early life and activities
was written by the late James Daw-
son and published in the books of
the Montana Historical society. Major
Dawson was born in 1917 at Dali
keith, Scotland, and died there in
1871 after spending his mature years
aiding in opening the northwest.
He was for many years in COM
mand of old Fort Benton. His gene
alOgy dates back to the days of Wal
lace the Robert the Bruce in Scot
land, the battles with Gaelic and
Highland clans and the regime of the
Stuarts. Dalkeith, his birthplace, was
the stronghold of the Douglas clan.
In 1843 young Dawson sailed by
steamer from Liverpool to New Or.

What the Indians of the Northwest
Thought of Their White Brothers

But 1 wish to say to you
that If you would possess these
things for yourselves, you must be-
gin anew and put away the wisdom
Of your fathers. You must lay I'D
food, and forget the hungry. When
your house is built, your ~storeroom
filled, then look around for a neigh
Dor whom you can take at a disad-
vantage, and sieze all that he has.
Give away only what you do not
want; or rather, do not part with any
Of your possessions unless in ex-
change for anOther's

Ebay, hay, hay! Alas, alas!" Thus
speaks the old man when he knows
that his former vigor and freedom is
gone from him forever So We may
exclaim today. "Alas! There is a
time appointed for all things. Think
for a moment how many mutltitudes
of the animal tribes we ourselves
have destroyed! Look upon the snow
that appears today-tOmorrow it is
water! Listen to the dirge Of the dry
leaves, that were green and vigorous
but a few o before! We are a
part of this life and it seems that our
time is come.

ing trinkets of this rich man, his
deceitful drink that overcOmes the
mind, shall these things tempt you
to give up your homes, or hunting
grounds, and the honorable teach
ings of our old men? Shall we permit
ourselves to be driven to and frO-tO
be herded like the cattle of the white
men?"
The sarcasm Of this speech was
best understood by the hearers, as
he compared the white and Indian
social customs. All Indians were not
equal in wealth, but no Indian could
go hungry if any Of the tribe had
food. When game was killed, all
shared it. In a later speech made on
the Little Rosebud, Red Cloud spoke
as follows:
1--WE III told that Spotted Tail has
consented to be the Beggars' Chief"
This was in reference to the report
that Spotted Tail favored comprOmis-
ing with the government, and was
opposed to attacking Fort Phil
Kearney. Spotted Tail was regard
ed as a traitor, and met a traitors
fate, being shot by one of his own
tribe. Red Cloud continued:
"ThOse Indians who go Owe to the
white man can be nothing but beg
gars, for he respects only riches, and
how a an Indian be a rich man?
He cannot without ceasing to be an
Indian. AS for me. 1 have listened
patiently to the promises of the Great
Father, but his memory is short. I
am done with him"
Sitting Bulls Bitter Speech.
Sitting Bull was still more bitter
in his denunciatiOn Of the white man,
when he replied to Spotted Tail al
the Powder River Council. He said
in part:
"Behold, my friends, the spring

SOME QUESTIONS

If it is worth several thousand
dollars for a lawyer to save a per-
son accused of murder, from the
death penalty, what is it worth
for doctor to save a person from
death?
If doctor sets broken limb

than you consider your limb
worth?
