 Not since Franklin K. Lane was secretary of the interior has there been such a drastic change in administration attitude toward the Indians They were given free rein at that time and many, by unwise business moves, went into bankruptcy.
 With the new commissioner on the job, the work of getting the Indian out in the world and Ion his own" will be pushed.

WHEN IS A DELEGATE NOT DELEGATE

Within few months the delegate will arrive ln our midst full of "bul' and bombast, to explain why he has done nothing draw his salary for the per iod which has elapsed since he told the same story When he was here last he told that despite the fact that he had called Mr. Hoover crook in public speeches made in the halls of Congress, yet because Mr. Hoover is such big man, he expected to be for given for his blunders and would undoubtedly stand well with the administration.
 Developments since the last election have shown the delegate to have been somewhat optimistic It appears that the administration did not forget gratuitous insults easily Bull Fighter" had hoped The safest way to insure defeat for political appointment at Washington seems to be for the ap- plicant to obtain the endorsement fthe Torreador
 Alaska has long complained of unjust discrimina ton and lack of attention from Congress and other authorities at Washington. What one expect as long as we send such to Washington?
 The delegate is at best lobbyist sent from Alaska to aid Congress with sound advice and suggestions re- garding our needs. He has vote and nothing to trade for support except his personality and ability to make friends for the Territory.
 What a mistaken idea it is to send to Washington so-caled delegate whose only Washington friends are found in little bunch of radicals and boters hav ing no more influence with the administration than has the Toreador.
 Daniel of old went into the lions den and made hs bluff stick The delegate tried to do tht same thno put the lions tore off every shred of his political vest ments leaving him sorry sight indeed.

She looked over at Peter. Then, with
out a word. she Owed in that sudden
way a Grebe has. Peter gasped. He
wondered what would happen to those
babies. A moment later he saw Mrs
Grebe come up on the other side OF
the Smiling Pool. She swan back to
where Peter was.
Where are your babies?" gasped
Peter.
First one little head, and then an
other appeared, as II in answer to
Peters question. The babies did not
seem at all surprised at what had hap

"Did-you take them with you all
that distance under water?" demanded
Peter.
Certainly" replied Mrs. drebe. "why
not?"
"But-but-" Peter didn't know what
the most remarkable family he had
ever seen. It was just as II Mrs. Grebe
had pockets and had carried her babies
in those pockets while she swan under
water. She chuckled as she watched
the expression on Peters face.

Grebe, Ito swim under water. I be-
lieve in teaching children at an early
age what they must know when they
grow up. Now these babies of mine are
no more AFRAID under water than they
are above water, If I couldn't carry
them with me under water, what chance
would they have to to live to grow up"
Peter shook his head. 81 don't

most surprising babies. I never was
more surprised in my life. It Is GER

Good-by. Peter"
Again she dived and when she came
up, she was right beside Dipper. Al
most at once the babies slid from her
back and began swimming around her.

Peter.
