which have distinguished the recent operation

without success, until Gen. Jesup. ''maddened

condemned as inexcuSable treachery by the

Of freedom and broodng over the manner In
which he had been betrayed, it is said, broke
the spirit of the youthful chief, who died
prisoner in Fort Moultrie, Fla. in January, 1888.
This noted chief was the grandson Of a
Scotchman on his paternal side, and the Cau-
casian strain was said to be noticeable in his
features and complexion. In physique he was
tall, slender and straight, with pleasing
countenance, though of somewhat melancholy
cast. The Bureau of American Ethnology tells
us that he was not chief by descent, nor, so
far as known by formal election, but took his
place leader and acknowledged chieftain by
reason of his abilities as a warrior and COM
mander during the struggle Of his people with
the United States.

Taylor during the war with Mexico, 1896

TO MAKE FEED LOANS
TO GROWERS

Bozeman, Sept. 4.-The Farm
Credit administration has informed
Miss H. e. Cushman, extension
poultry specialist at Montana
State college, that it will make
emergency feed loans for the pur-
chase Of feed for poultry, includ-
ing turkeys.
The authority for such loans
came from George Susens, acting
director of the emergency crop
and feed loan section of the Farm
Credit administration. He writes
as follows: Emergency feed loans
are available for the purpose Of
supplying funds to feed poultry,
which includes turkeys. Those
farmers raising turkeys, who are
eligible for these loans may call at
the relief office in the county
where such farmers reside and an
application may be made for these
loans. Where the applicants needs
are below $25 the Emergency Re-
lief administration under their
regulations will provide such
funds. Where the needs are S25
and above, funds will be supplied
through u organization"
In a later letter received from
E. L. Warren, of the general crops
section, Miss Cushman was in
formed that the allowance for
poultry was five cents per head
per month. Mr.. Warren also stat
ed that a recommendation was be-
ing made that the allowance be in
creased to Is cents a head a month.

IT is always a little difficult when
l. packing a picnic basket to think
OF tasty, unusual refreshments,
which still satisfy the requirements
for a balanced meal. There must
be something substantial for that
ravenous, outdoor hunger: some
thing tart or spicy; and, natur-
ally, something sweet to MUNICH
with our picnic coffee. And II must
be something different. Why not

WASHINGTON
SNAPSHOTS

There seems some reason to give
credence to the report. The adj
ventures of the "brain trust" into
planned economy has not brought
the expected recovery. Estimates
of unemployment still range from
100000 to 100000 and the re-
lief administration has 100000
persons on its rolls. Huge dis
bursements by the Public Works
administration has not stimulated
industry because while the funds
were being handed out by one
agency, others were curbing the
flow of private capital and Great
ing uncertainties to prevent bust
ness from moving forward.
%
Accepting that something new
is coming, the question is whether
on the verge Of the November
elections Mr.. Roosevelt will try
new experiments in RECOMMENDATION
through planned economy or ac-
cept the advice of industrialists
that will lead the way to recovery
if given leeway, with sufficient
governmental supervision to pro-
tect the public interests. These
two schools of thought-planned
economy versus traditional Ameri-
can initiative-have been battling
for the presidents ear, with the
first having had its inning. In
dustry contends that through the
early years of the depression the
antitrust laws prevented them
from sitting down together and at
tempting to devise means of re-
storing business. They had Jail
threats hanging over them. Then,
with the NRA relaxing the anti
trust laws every move of the adj
ministration has been toward
Washington regulation and dis
crediting of business through in
vestigations and statements.

efforts large sections of the Hyder townsite have been car lied away by the swift-ru2hin waters and residents and prop erty owners have in many in- stances lived in a!m7st con- Stant apprehension O. losing their property ana homes and possibly their lives as result of some sudden inundation.
 The announcement h a t something is now to be done to remove, presumably forever, this ever-haunting danger is, therefore, exceedingly joyful news to the community.
 Credit for the successful cul- imitation of the long struggle for federal aid is due chiefly to Delegate A. J. Dimtond and Representative Green, both of whom have been indefatigu- able in the efforts to secure ad. equate appropriations. To these able representatives, as we'll as to Major Malcolm Ell tot and Resident Engineer J. C.. Truitt of the War Department Engineers. and to former Alas ka Delegate Dan Sutherland, Governor John W. Troy and other Territorial and federal officials are due the very grateful thanks of the com munity for services which were not only invaluable to present residents of the camp but will in all probability rebound greatly to the benefit of pos terity.
 In view of the present de- plorable unemployment situ- ation in Hyder, public interest is TOW centering on the quest ion of whether the flood pro- ject is to be carried to com pletion under contract or by the War Department engin- eers with local labor em- ployed. In the former case the contract may go to- some outside contractor who will perform the required work with imported labor, rather than with local labor.
 To prevent such an eventual ity if possible, steps are now being taken by Representative Green and other citizens, as it will mean a difference of thousands of dollars to the community if construction is carried out with local labor, of which there is an ample supply available.
