CONTROL
IS STUDIED

Spurred by the destruction of
life and property resulting from
the present floods in this area. two
Members of Congress today were
making plans to press for Poto-
mac River flood control legisla-
ton.
Probably the quickest results
will come from the action of
Representative Jennings Randolph
CD of West Virginia, a member
of the House District Committee,
who has made arrangements to
obtain House consideration April
6 Of his proposal authorizing the
Army engineers to make a survey
of the Potomac and it's tributaries
with a view to recommending
flood control projects.
The bill has been approved by
the House Committee on Flood
Control and has been on the calen
dar for several weeks without
action. but the West Virginian
who the night before last wit
messed the havoc the Potomac
waters were doing between Mar
tinsburg, w. Va, and here, re
newed his efforts yesterday tc
have the bill approved by Con
greSs and was given assurance the
measure will be brought before the
House April 6.
At the same time, Representa-.
tive John E. Rankin Cd, of Mis-.
sissippi, author of a bill tu create
a Potomac River Valley Authority
similar to the iva, pointed tc
the current floods in this area as
emphasizing the necessity for the
passage of my bill"
Under his proposal, not only
would a flood control project be
carried out. but provision is made
for the development of a munic
ipal power plant at Great Falls.
In his statement, he said that
although it is too late to obtain
passage of his measure at this ses
sion of Congress, he would make
every effort to get congressional
approval of the measure at the
next session.

day traveller.
After a trip to the Custer battle
field, the visitor feels even more
friendly to the Crows, some of whom
served General Custer as scouts, and
who were bitter enemies of the Chey-
ennes and the Sioux. Friendship of the
Crows for the whites dates from the
Lewis and Clark expedition of 1805-06.
Origin of the Name
The Crows name for themselves is
"Apsaruke," or, as spelled by the white
man, Absarokee. Frank B. Linderman,
noted authority on Montana tribes, as
serts that this was originally pro-
nounced Absanakee. Like many other
tribal names, the exact meaning has
been lost. Early interpreters translated
Absanakee as gems de corbeaux"-

voyageurs erred in fastening this name

The Crow reservation is admirably
suited for stock raising of all kinds.
This fact was recognized from times of
earliest white exploration and Father
De Smet wrote in 1851:
"A country rough in topography, in
terspersed at short intervals by streams
flowing out of the Big Horn, Wolf and
Pryor mountains which bound it on
the south, and where may be found
luxuriant and abundant growth OF the
various prairie grasses over its entire
area" Superintendent Robert Yellow
tail pointed out, however, in his re-
port for 1885 that rainfall for the past
few years has not been so plentiful as
in Father De Smets' day.
The Crows are, speaking compare
lively, a rich people, much better off
than their neighbors, the Cheyennes,
east. Farming and stock raising are
carried on extensively and sugar beet
growing is on the increase, with good
prospects for the erection of q beet
sugar factory at Hardin, within the
limits of the reservation, very soon.
The largest dry land wheat ranch in
the United States is located on the
Crow reservation, under the manage
ment of Thomas D. Campbell. Camp

1918, before the end Of the World war
He was then manager of the Montana
Farming corporation, the directors OF
which were j. P. Morgan, James A,
Stillman and other finance barons of

Walter Liggett, who made a special
Investigation of the economic status of
the Crows several years ago, the stock
holders list of the Montana Farming
corporation "looks like q roster of Wall
street bankers"

well as from the purely sentimental
side of 1.-THE reverence and love of
the Indians for this animal that was
the staff of life to them in former
days."
AS a result of Mr.. Yellowtail's ap-
peal, a fleet of trucks rumbled over
the highway between Yellowstone park
and the Grow reservation, bringing
animals from park herds, until the
Crows now have a herd of 300 buffalo
and 1876 elk.
The Crow Not Vanishing
Am EomanticiS Tnd,i have Lon 1Eng called nne the
American" but on the Crow reserva-
ton, at least, he is no longer doing
the vanishing act. In fact, the Crows
have been increasing in number since
1921. In the three-year period from
1926 to 1929 there we're 232 births to
142 deaths among them.
Robert H. LOWE has collected some
Of the favorite Crow legends in his
book, The Crow Indians. Many stories
known to other plains tribes are told
in Crow lodges on winter evenings.
This is not strange when n remem-
bers that the Crows were a nomadic
people. One of the best authorities on
Crow legends is James Carpenter of
Lodge Grass, son of a white man and
a Piegan Indian woman, who has
spent his entire life among the Crows.
Crow Mythology
Among the greater heroes of Grow
mythology and history was Long Hair,
principal chief of the tribe in the early
days of the nineteenth century. The
tribe today possesses a braid of hair
supposedly from Long Hairs head. Few
white men have eve seen this relic,
but the late Gen. Hugh L. Scott, and
Hon. Scott Leavitt, were accorded the
privilege IN the summer of 1880, and
reported that it was Is feet long. Ar
interesting account of Long Hair is
given by Beckwourth, the mulatto who
lived among the Crows during fur-trad-
ing days. Beckwourth told of a clash
between Major O'Fallon and a Grow
chief at Fort Clark, when OFallor

on a farm. His parents, who were
poor, eked out a scanty living for

turned loose to try their luck at

which was so characteristic of him, he
made his way into a country where
that instinct could be realized.
Jake Hoover became Montana's typi-
cal prospector. Claims bearing his name
dotted all important finds. Yet he held
no claims long nor did he become rich.
Poor business alliances drove him from
place to place.
The '70's found him in the Judith
basin where he followed a triple pro-
fession Of hunter, trapper and pros
pector. True to his established reputa-
ton, Hoover discovered gold on Yogo
creek early in 1879. News leaked out
and people stampeded to Yogo camp.
However. it was not long until all en-
thusiasm was lost. Miners left dis
gustedly when the pay-streak failed to
appear.
The late eighties came and Hoover
was still in the Yogo district. He had
a cattle ranch on the south fork of the
Judith river and was still prospecting

At this time Hobson had q sweet
