The Party further organized comprehen-
siye campaign for the struggle against bureau
cratism 1t proclaimed the slogan of purging
the Party, trade union, cooperative, and So
Wet organizations of all foreign and bureau
cratizeI elements. The continuation of this
campaign was the wel-known decision of the
&C and the C.C.C. of 10th March 1880, on the
participation of the workers in the work of the
state apparatus management of the undertake
ings), 1t will be remembered that this cam
paign brought about an enormous upsurge and
an enormous activity among the working
masses. The result of this campaign was
mighty enhancement of the authority of the
Party among the working masses, the in
creased confidence of the working masses in
the Party the entry of hundreds and thousands
of fresh workers into the Party, the resou-
tons passed by the workers to join the Party
in whole departments and factories at one
time Finally, the result of this campaign was
the liberation of our organizations from
number of petrifed and bureaucratic elements,
the liberation of the Central Council of Trade
Unions of the Soviet Union from the old OPP
portunist leadership.
The Party further organized comprehen-
sive socialist competitions as also the elan of
the masses in the factories The appeal of
the XVI. Party Conference set the stone rolling.
The shock brgades advanced. The feminist
Young Communist League and the young work
ers under its leadership supplemented by their
decided successes the work of the competitions
and the shock troops. 1t must be said that
our revolutionary youth has played a great
part in this campaign. At the present moment
there can be no doubt that one of the most
important factors of our economic reconstruc-
ton, if not the most important, is the socialist
competition going on in our works and fac
tories, the appeal made to hundreds and thous-
ands of workers by the results of the socialist
competitions and the widespread activities of
the shock troops. Only the blind can fail to see
that in the psychology of the Masses and in
their attitude towards work. an enormous
change has taken place, fundamentally alter
ing the character of our works and factories.
Not long ago opinions were heard among us
that the competitions and shock troops were
"overdone subtlties" and already bankrupt"
Today these wise" people are not even ac-
corded derisive smile. They simply re-
garded as people whose wisdom" is out-of-
date. Today the competitions and the shock
brigades are positions already won and
tablished. 1t is fact that among US at least
two million workers have been reached by the
competitions, and more than million by the
shock troops.
The most remarkable point about the com
petitions is that they have brought about a
radical change in the views held with regard

Foreigners sometimes inquire about the in
situation in the Soviet Union. But can
there be any doubt that the inner situation of
the Soviet is firm and unshakeable? We only
need cast a glance at the capitalist countries,
the growing crises and unemployment in these
countries, the strikes and ockouts, the anti
governmental demonstrations-how can any
comparison be drawn between the inner situa-
ton in these countries and in the Soviet Union?

Trapped Lion Climbed
Tree, to Drop to Death

A correspondent of the London
Weekly Times, at Chisamba, in
northern Rhodesia, reports another
occasion of lion climbing a tree.
A wire trap, set in growing maize to
catch wild pigs, caught young
lion which, In panic at finding it's
head in the trap, uprooted the poles
and rushed away, the moose tighten
ing as he ran. Claw marks on the
branches show that the lion climbed
10 feet into the tree and then either
fell or jumped. The sty pole was
firmly wedged in the fork of the
branches and the lion was suspend
ed in mid-air and was found dead
the next morning. At a farmhouse
in the same district a lion entered
a bedroom and killed a dog un, er
the bed i'm which the farm manager
was sleeping.

appeared. She was distressed by the
fear they had been killed. However,
subsequent events proved they had all
escaped.
The Texans were familiar with the
Parker story and thought perhaps this
woman might be the long-lost Cynthia
Ann. They took her and her daugh-
ter, Prairie Flower, back to Texas with
them. An uncle of Cynthia Ann, liv-
ing near Weatherford, was sent for.
When he spoke to her, mentioning
the name Cynthia Ann" her face
frightened and she spoke the first
English words they had heard from
her lips: Cynthia ANIME Cynthia
Ann"
During her captivity her parents
had died. Her uncle, Col. Isaac Par
ker, took her to his home and then her
story became known. After the Par
ker raid she was carried to the hunt
ing grounds of the Comanches in the
Wichita mountains. There she grew
up among the tribe, learned their Ian
guage, adopted their customs, forgot
her native tongue, and became
bronzed and featured like an Indian.
When she became of manageable
age-probably about her fifteenth
year-she became the wife of Chief
Nacona, one of the most noted and
warlike men of the tribe. Three chill
dren were born to her, little Prairie
Flower and the two boys who had
escaped in the raid. One of the boys
was Quanah rarker, who succeeded
his father to the craftsmanship.
Colonel Parker took his new-found
niece into his home, where she was
surrounded by every comfort. But her
Indian life and her love for her hus-
band and her boys had taken such
deep root in her nature that she fell
into melancholy decline. She
yearned constantly to rejoin her tribe,
to find her husband and her two boys.
but she never saw them again. Her
little daugher died in 1864. Broken in
heart and spirit, Cynthia Ann soon
followed her.
Quanah-the Parker was added lat
er-was leader from boyhood. In his
early teens he headed band of fear
less raiders. He stole horses from
Mexicans numbering into the thou
sands. While still quite young he be-
came the great war chief of the Co.
manche nation.
Implacable, he refused to compro-
mise with the whites who sought by
treaty to deprive his people of their
lands. Although half white, Quanah
Parker was all Indian in sentiment;
fiercely he rejected the Medicine
Lodge treaty, refusing to sign away
the Indians rights. Gathering such
Kindred spirits about him, he walked
out of the conference. But though he
refused to sign the treaty, Quanah
Parker determined no whites should
pass the boundary. And when the
buffalo herds of the North diminished
and disappeared, he knew it would not
be long before the white men would
forget the treaty and again invade In
dian land. So Quanah Parker waited
and watched, and when the hunters
Parker knew that the time had come
for war.
He resolved first to attack party
of hunters who had established them
selves at an old trading post on the
Canadian river, known as Adobe Walls.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1930-09-19

The result was the now-famous battle
at that place where the hunters with
their great Sharps buffalo guns sue
cessfully withstood repeated attacks
by Quanah's warriors and finally
caused Quanah to retire, baffied in the
first objective of his campaign. Within
short time Gen. Nelson A. Miles was
in the field with body of troops
which forced the surrender of most of
the hostiles and their return to the
reservation.
But Quanah refused to surrender.
For nearly a year he held out, then
realizing the futility of trying to resist
further, he gave up the struggle and
declared his intention of following
the white mans road"
From that time on he did everything
he could to bring his tribe into con-
formity with the white mans civiliza-
ton. AS years passed he became
wealthy He was a fluent speaker,
keen diplomat. In handling the affairs
of his tribe he won the friendship of
the cattlemen who leased the Indian
lands. They built him fine 20-room
mansion near Cache, in which he lived
with his several wives, Indian fash
ion, though the house was furnished
in white mans style.
The other great Indian whose men,
DRY is to be preserved in an enduring
monument is Chief Joseph of the Nez
Perces, one of the greatest military
leaders ever developed on this CONT
nent and man who won for himself
the title of the Indian Napoleon"
Two years ago congress created a ma
tional monument in Montana, the site
of the battle of the Bears Paw where
in 1877 Gen. Nelson A. Miles captured
Chief Joseph and his tribesmen after
one of the most brilliant retreats in
the history of Indian warfare. Dur
ing the last congress bill was intro
duced providing for the erection of a
monument there which would CON-
memorate the achievements of the
great Indian soldier and preserve for
future generations the memory of
him as patriot and man.
Here briefly is the achievement Of
Chief Joseph during that remarkable
retreat: Encountered with women and
children, which he refused to desert
and allow to fall into the hands Of
the soldiers as he might have done
several times to facilitate his flight,
and having fighting force that never
exceeded 300 warriors, he fought elev-
en- engagements, five Of them pitched
battles of which he lost but one; in
the other six skirmishes he killed 126
and wounded 40 of the 1900 SOL
diers who fought him, but he lost 151
killed and S8 wounded of his own peo-
pie. Then having distanced his pur-
suers and knowing that he was only
80 miles from the Canadian line and
safety (for he did not know of the APP
proach Of General Miles troops) he
made the fatal mistake of stopping
for little while to give his weary
tribesmen a chance for brief rest.
Here in the Bear Paw mountains,
where the memorial to him is to be
erected, General Miles attacked on
September 80. 1877. For FIVE days
Joseph and his little band, greatly out
numbered, withstood the attack of
Miles soldiers. Finally artillery was
brought to bear upon their defenses
and on October Chief Joseph gave
up the contest. He never fought again.
