RESOLUTION BY INDIANS

WHEREAS: Under the new proposed grazing and
farming regulations, approved by the Interior depart
ment, a provision requires all Indians to sign over to
the Superintendent a power of attorney to make all
leases covering grazing and farming permits. This
naturally takes all rights away from the Indians to
decide how, when and to whom the land shall be leas-
ed. We believe that this unique experiment is most
harmful and dangerous to Indian welfare. If this
system is forced upon us we might as we'll grant them
the land.
We believe that no one man should be allowed to
handle the leasing of many thousands of Indians
lands.
No one man is good enough to govern another
without his consent.
The government has expended many millions of
dollars of tax money educating the Indian, and today
many of our people are competent to handle their
own affairs. What is the good of educating the
Indians if all their property privileges are to be taken
away from them, as is proposed under the new graz
ing and farming policy?
We are also informed that if the new regulations
are put into force it will cause all of the stockmen
and farmers to remove their stock and sheep from the
reservation, which will cause the Indians to lose the
income derived from the rental of their lands.
RESOLVED: That the Indians do hereby enter
their most emphatic and vigorous protest against the
new grazing and farming regulations.

+ OF FARMERS

We farmers object to the new rules because they
are confiscatory. Especially in the face of the exist
ing low prices of grain and stock. And further, we
protest because if the new rules are enforced it will
force the farmer to dispose of his livestock in order
to avoid the high cost of grazing. Therefore result
ing in a detriment to both the farmers and the Indi-
ans. And further the competitive bidding system
in the regulations will involve a great injury to the
farmers in that they lease the Indian land for agricul-
tural purposes and not knowing if he can keep it be-
yond the year, resulting in great injury to the lessee
if he has placed good Improvements on the land. And
also because this system will be conducive to poor
farming, not wishing to put extensive cultivation on
land which he does not know if he can continue
to till. Thus resulting in a detriment to the farming
interests in the county.

The Old Year and the Neu
the name remains.


With a mingling of passion and
hopes and fears,
Some deeds that were good and
some that were not,
You have builded a life through
the passing years;
Do not judge that life by what
you have got.
Upon your surroundings you've
painted a name,
With a reckless stroke or with
infinite pains:
Whether goodness or meannes has
marked your game,
The background is gone but the
name remains.
In the earlier years of life there
are backgrounds which seem to
sustain one to a remarkable de-
gree: An inherited business, family
traditions, the prestige of ones
associates, a good school-record;
but, as life goes on, these seem to
fade in their power and individual
character stands out, more and
more. 1t is true that there are
names which, because of poor
workmanship or poor material,
wear away and leave no memoir
ial.
| do not know what the next
years will bring for you or for me,
but l do know that for you and
for me, it will bring splendid op-
portunities. The storms which seen
to oppose your progress in this
time of business depression, may
bring to you the very opportunity
for which you have prayed. Adj
versity is a much better character
builder than prosperity. Some
poet, unknown to me, has written
lines which beautifully illustrate
this idea,
HE shambled awkward on the
stage, the while
Across the waiting audience, swept
a smile.
With awkward touch when first
he drew the bow
He snapped a string, the audi
ence Uttered low.
Another stroke, off flies another
string;
With laughter now, the waiting gal
leries ring.
The third string breaks it's quiv-
ering strands
And Kisses greet the player as
he stands.
lie stands-the while-his genius
unbereft-is calm;
One string,-and Paganini left.
He plays-that one strings dar-
ing notes uprise
Against that storm as if it sought
the skies.
silence falls-the people bow
And those who erst had Kissed are
weeping now.
And when the last note, tremb-
ling, died away,
Some shouted Bravo; Some had
learned to pray"

Here's A Wedding
With A Kick In 1t

Harlowton Times. Wedding
"~write-ups" are often prosaic and
conventional. Yet there are excep-
tions. Occasionally a word picture
of nuptials forth in print
which deserves to be embalmed as
a classic.
One such has come to light, writ
ten by the editor of a small Kan
sas paper = an editor who with
out a doubt is wasting his talent
in his present location. Here is a.
sample of his literary ability "a
story of a wedding which has a
real kick" in it.
ut was a wonderful wedding.
The girl was as sweet as any girl
who eve lived; but modern. AS
she walked up the aisle on her
fathers arm, her lips lightly tilted
at the corners with a happy smile,
she was a picture of modest beauty
Her fillmy wedding gown and Cos
samer veil floated around her fair
blond head like a halo. She was
as nearly an angel as girls get to
be in this world. At the altar as
she passed from her father, the
man she always loved, to the other
man to whom she would devote
the rest of her life, her dainty slip
per touched a potted lily resting on
the floor and she turned it over.
Smiling again, she turned to the
dear old pastor waiting at the
chancel and said: That was a
b. of a place to put a lily"

NEBRASKA LAKES
BECOMING DRY

O'NEIL, Neb., Dec. /. U.P)-
Lakes in the sandhills region OF
Nebraska-one of the unique top
ographical features of the Mid
west-are drying and may soon dis
appear.
G. H. Nichols, field representa-
tive for the state game, foresta-
ton and parks commission, made
a survey of the sandhills where
lakes once dotted the barren coun-
try in great abundance, and found
many well-known bodies of water
dried up, and others nearly gone.
Cottonwood, Hagen's, Chain, Sun
fish and Dimmick lakes-once
well known to the sportsmen and
ranchers of the northern part of
the state, are dry. Red Deer, Marsh
and Dora lakes have little water.
A lowering of the water level in
western Nebraska and Wyoming,
with a consequent lowering of the
water table in the sandhills, is be-
lieved partly responsible. Pump ir-
rigation, too, has reduced the
amount of seepage water.
Governor Charles w. Bryan, who
recently visited this area and in
Spected the lakes, outlined a plan
which he believes will save some
of the lakes.
