U. S. CHIEFS
PROBE MEANS
OF ECONOMY

WASHINGTON. Sept. 3. F-The
government. Is confronted by a
rapidly increasing treasury deficit
while the administration and its
blowers r seeking some means
bringing about economies.
Jas the national debt turns up-
ward to S16,863. 78l ,233. an increase
OF approximately a billion dollars
In the past year, Pres. Hoover is
considering whether a tax increase
or another bond issue would be the
proper solution Of the problem.
Deficit Increases
Efforts to curtail OUTLAWS In this
new fiscal year apparently have
met with but a mcdicum Of success
Since July /, the deficit in the
treasury has grown TO 1896, 1865 900,
with the receipts amounting to but
$3.50, 1898, Isl against OUTLAWS total
ing S626 .664,751 The deficit is
s144, 000, 900 larger than that for the
same two months last year.
The prediction that government
expenditures for the next fiscal
year would be cut drastically was
made by Chmn. Wood of the house
appropriations committee. His group
originates all the appropriation bills
providing funds for government OPP
Grafton.
The Indiana representative said
slashes would be made in expendi-
lures for the army and navy and
expressed the hope the farm board
&ro1ld not ask for additional funds.
Il Salready having been awarded
$560. GOO. 1000.
Wood declared that should the
navy be built up to the London
naval treaty limits it would have
nothing to do. For some time, the
Indianan has demanded curtailment
of demands for appropriations and
he declared:
Must Spend SoberIy
when the people were spending
like drunkards, they didn't object
TO the Cove nment spending the
same way. Now that the people
have begun to spend seriously and
soberly the government had better
TO begin to spend that way"
During the first two years of the
Hoover administration. congress ap-
propriated about $4,000. DOC, 900. or
nearly two billion in excess Of any
two years appropriations since the
World war period. The increase
IA due largely 10 relief. highway
construction projects. including a
vastly expanded public buildings
program.
The deficit OF 1908 .000, 900 for the
fiscal year ending Jl'y l was add
ed to the national debt largely
through long term bond issues II
was the first time the treasury had
such a deficit in the past decade.
The 1896, DOC, 900 deficit in the new
fiscal year. like the former. was
attributed to a sharp decline in
revenues. due TO the falling off OF
income tax, customs and other re-
ceipts. and increased OUTLAWS for
various government building, re-
and other projects.

the toll gate the trail descends into
a gulch and then rises. Rowland
studied the situation as he sped along.
He wondered how he was to cross the
small creek. The ascent on the other
side was rather steep. To outwit his
purSuerS was his objective. The man
on the river side, for the moment, was
out of sight. The mar on the land
side was coming closer. He ran down
the gulch as fast as he could go. One
of his pursuers attempted to attack
him by riding ahead and charging.
AS he assembled the elevation in front
of him the men began to fire. He
could not return the fire. AS he topped
the hill he ran through a guard that
had been strung out from the house
standing near the toll gate. For his
own protection and to identify himself,
Rowland cried out:
Government SCOUT" He repeated
it several times and dismounted.
The guards came up cautiously.
Taken to where a light could be pro-
cured the guards examined his dis
patches before they would believe him.
He learned that there had been a fight
with the Indians near the toll gate
during the day and guards were thrown
about the place for the night. Re-
naming at the site for about an hour,
Rowland went on to Fort Keogh, and

arrived at the ferry, where the present
Milwaukee railroad bridge crosses the
Yellowstone river. 1t was a little after
shutdown. Rowland fired a couple of
shots into the air TO awaken the ferry
man. The horses never wavered in
their run, which was at full speed for
the entire distance.
Early the next morning the military
forces at Fort Keogh were apprised OF
the presence of Northumberland and
his band. They reached the crest of
the benchland on the north bank of
the Yellowstone river opposite the fort
buildings. Standing there astride their
horses in silhouette against illimitable
sky to the north the members of the
band shot their rifles into the air to
announce their arrival. The ceremony
finished, the band went to the ferry,
crossed over the river and appearing
before the commandant formally sur
rendered and were then taken to the
Indian prison camp on the Tongue
river. This incident was included
among the last of the services rem
dered by Rowland as a scout for Cen
eral Miles.
Colonel Swain was in charge of Fort
Keogh in 1889. The spirit of unrest
again made its appearance among the
Indians. Porcupine, a Cheyenne In
dian, who professed to be a preacher
evangelist, had been visiting at the
Pine Ridge agency. The Sioux Indians
were disturbed over the spiritual mes

spirit was about to avenge the loss to
the Indians of their ancient hunting
grounds. The so-called Ghost Dancing
became the vogue among the tribes.
A menace appeared to lurk in the
practice. The Cheyennes, under the
influence of Porcupine, were also en-
gaging in the dance. Shortly after
Colonel Swain took the command at
Fort Keogh, Rowland re-enlisted as a
scout. He was sent down to Lame Deer
where Ghost dancing was in u s
to make observations and learn the
significance of the practice. He was
not recognized in his disguise.

asked the Great Spirit to come and
get them. During the dance, they
would stand in line with their hands
raised in the air, praying to the white
mans god, "Ehe-ahm-we-o,' the ges-
ture used meaning the expectation of
the return of the Messiah. The Chey-
enne Indians on the Pine Ridge agen-
cy had visited at Lame Deer in 1888
to hear from their brethren about the
Messiah. Porcupine had gone back
with them and later returned filled

DECREASE SHOWN
in PEA ACREAGE
STATE REPORTS THAT A REDUC-
TION OF 20 PER CENT is EX-
PECTED IN STATE

Montana's 1890 pack Of canned
peas, 367, 816 cases, will not be
equalled this year II acreage inten-
lions Of growers Of canning peas are
maintained as indicated by the
March summary of the division OF
crop and livestock estimates, U. S.
department Of agriculture.
According to the state division Of
publicity this summary indicates a
Montana acreage of 2,730, a reduction
of % per cent from the $500 acres
harvested in 1890. The Utah acreage
is being reduced 40 per cent to 7,840
acres while Washington has dropped
10 per cent to 1870 acres.
Wisconsin, the major pea canning
state, is cutting its acreage 8 per cent
to $50 acres, and New York. Sec
ond in extent of production, is reduce
ing her acreage to 33,410, a decrease
of 9.3 per cent.
If the Gamer Of green peas carry
out their acreage intentions, as re-
ported by them to the U. S. depart
ment Of agriculture on March l, the
planted acreage for the 1881 season
will be rs per cent less than the har-
vested acreage in 1880, or 243, ITO acres
planted in 1881 compared with 263, 800
harvested in 1880.
Compared with the 1880 planted
acreage, however, the 1881 intended
acreage shows a IL per cent reduction.
Planted acreage abandoned last year
was somewhat heavier than usual, due
to the effects OF drouth in Maryland,
Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, and
to freeze damage in Wisconsin.
