Many Of the Grow customs of ancient
times have died out but the herald or
town crier Of old who served as the
camp chiefs aide, still survives. Russell
Whitebar and Hartford Bearclaw SO
seen shouting the news in the streets
of Crow agency, Pryor and other reser-
walton towns. A reservation doctor re-
ports that after Russell Whitebar has
shouted continually all day he some
times comes in to have his throat
sprayed.
The tribal council is an important
Crow group. Robert Yellowtail, although
he is a Grow Indian and superinten-
dent Of the reservation, has no position
in the tribal council, except to vote in
case Of q tie. Mr.. Yellowtail is the
first indian to have administrative
control Of a western reservation, and
the innovation is being watched with
interest.

When I told . touring gentleman
from Rhode Island that there are
Indian reservations in Montana
much larger than his native state,
he doubted me There was fire in
his eye; his pride was hurt. There
are few Indian reservations east OF
the Mississippi River and what few
there are are all about the size Of
. Montana chicken corral.
Though these Rhode Islanders were
willing to admit their state Is very
that, it was not until we went to work
with pencil and paper that they were
convinced. I showed them that little

area, could be neatly tucked away in
q corner of the great Crow reserva-
ton in southeastern Montana. The
Grow reserve is approximately 100

one, a land of wide-open spaces. Here,
amid rolling hills and in the valleys of
the Big Horn and Little Big Horn riv-
ers, live 1874 Crow Indians in an area
full of fascination, not only for the
anthropologist, ethnologist, and STU
dent Of American history, but for all
who are interested in these descendants
Of the first Americans simply as human
beings. Tourist travel to the reservation

idly became a strong people, hunted
buffalo, and had many robes and other
possessions.
The Crows realized their debt to the
dog and later to the horse. The visitor
among the Crows today finds a truly
innate love and reverence shown for
both. A large number of friendly dogs
have run on the reservation; In fact,
all pets on the reserve show evidence
of good treatment. The Crows also
revere the buffalo which so long was
a supply of wealth to them. At the
request Of the tribe, a herd Of 300 buf-
falo have been placed on the reserva-
ton, transported there from Yellow
stone national park.

The Grow, like other western tribes,
vas always a conserver of game. The
buffalo supplied practically every need
Of the tribes. It's hide was tanned and
used to make wearing apparel and te-
PEGS, robes, moccasins and other items.
The meat was dried and stored for use
during every season of the year. Yet the
buffalo was only slaughtered to meet
the Indians needs. When the hide
hunters of the 1905 and '8O's swooped
up from the south the buffalo herds
disappeared. Those which survived the
raids of such hunters found refuge in
the mountain Businesses of Yellow
stone park.
with careful development of the
present herds, the buffalo need not
vanish from the American scene," says
Supt. Yellowtail. 1T was with the
thought of preserving the buffalo and
creating a meat supply on the reser-
walton that I appealed several years
ago to the National Park service to
transport some of these animals to
the Grow lands. We are experimenting.

the Sioux were responsible for furnish

before the advent Of the first white
men into the northwest. When they
came, or whence, nobody knows. Their
tribal legends deal with picturesque
Pryor canyon and other points within
the borders of their present domain, at
testing that their present habitat has
been known to them for a long time.
The Crow reservation was created by
treaty in 1851 at Fort Laramie. Uncle
Sam was in a generous mood that day;
the pact set aside for the use of the
Crows an empire of 38s million acres.
The treaty paper described the Crow
lands as follows:
"The territory of the Crow In
dian, commencing at the mouth of
Powder river on the Yellowstone,
thence up Powder river to its
source; thence along the main

River mountains to the headwaters

the Yellowstone to the mouth Of
Twenty-Five Yard creek; thence to
the headwaters of the Musselshell
river; thence down the Musselshell
river to its mouth; thence to the
headwaters of Big Dry creek, and
thence to its mouth"
Various reductions by subsequent
treaties have cut the reservation to
one-fifteenth Of its original size.
Primarily the Crows and the Hidatsa,
their closest relatives, were n people.
The story Of their separation is told
by both tribes today; both can still
the division occurred. They can fix no
date, but both tribes agree that the
separation resulted from a quarrel be-
tween two Indian women, wives of
rival clan chieftains, over which had
prior claim to a certain buffalo carcass

cording to legend, the Crows were a
wretched people, with small homes and
few possessions, for their dogs could

changed all this. 1t is probable that the
first horses owned by the Crows were
stolen from tribes along the gulf Of
Mexico. There is legend to that effect.

The Crows are now taking a great
deal of interest in their own economic
situation. "The economic condition of
the entire country is understood by the
Crows themselves" declares Supt. Rob-
ert Yellowtail, land they realize that is

Mr.. Yellowtail reflects that in earlier
days the Crows were horsemen, de-
pending upon the chase for their liveli-
hood. To break them suddenly from
methods of modern agriculture was ask
ing a little too much of an untutored,
semi-civilized race. Today these bar
riers have in a very large degree been
surmounted,

For Amazingly Quick Relief
Get Genuine Bayer Aspirin

If you suffer from. pains of neuritis
what you want is quick relief.
Genuine Bayer Aspirin tablets
give quick relief, for one reason, be-
cause they dissolve or disintegrate
almost instantly they touch mois-
ture. (Note illustration above.)
Hence when you take a real
Bayer Aspirin tablet it starts to dis
solve almost as quickly as you
swallow it. And thus is ready to
start working almost instantly 49,.
headaches, neuralgia and neuritis
pains start easing almost at once.
That's why millions never ask for
aspirin by the name aspirin alone
when they buy. but always say
"BAYER ASPIRIN" and see that
they get it.
Try it. You'll say it's marvellous.

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
by RODNEY BUTCHER

| And finally there were men,
bers of the I. C. c. itself, jealous
of Eastman's exalted prominence,
who joined in the fight.
THE recent meeting between
Senator Wheeler, who is chair
man of the Senate committee in
vestigating railroad financing, and
OriS P. Van Sweringen, who made
something of a record as wizard
of railroad financing, was in the
nature of a surprise party.
The committee had been trying
to dig into the intricacies of the
So-called hree-billion-dollar Van
Swel,lngen railroad empire and
had met with what it considered
obstructive tactics when it asked
for information.
Hearings were called to put the
heat on Mr.. Van Sweringen. He
pleaded that he was a very busy
man; he would send his lawyers
on a Monday, but couldn't get tc
Washington himself until Tues
day. The committee agreed.
The lawyers asked for a private
session with Wheeler, which was
granted. Wheeler was tough ano
demanded that they sign an agree
ment to produce promptly what
the committee asked for. They
said they would have to take time
out to decide. Il.
A couple of hours later the
lawyers returned to report:
"Mr. Van Sweringen happens tc
be in town and would like to talk
to you privately"
sat developed later that Mr.. Van
Sweringen had motored to Wash
ington on Sunday.
At first he emphatically refused
to sign any agreement. Wheeler
then announced that Van Swerin-
gen would be called to the stand
the next day, with a yelled threat
of contempt proceedings.
The railroad man repented
overnight, the agreement was
signed, and the hearing was can
'celed.
