Indian Trails Wended Through Big
Bend, Now Deserted and Forgotten
(By Frank McCann

The Columbia River Yakima
Indian trail extended from the
Columbia river through the Grand
Coulee by the way of the various
water places and springs, and
came up through where the town
OF Grand Coulee now is located
and On over the high raise of sand
hills and granite knobs to the old
Dougherty spring, just east of the
town of Osborne.
1t followed the east wall
through narrow passageway
that lies between Pinnacle peak
and the east granite hills and ba-
salt wall. Here there Is deep
narrow canyon with great blocks
of granite in the bottom and quite
a group of Indian paintings and
Photographs is visible
Going south On this trail you
come to another water place. the
old Fleet ranch, which was form
erly known AS the Hardy ranch.
This Is at the mouth of Northup
canyon, and the trail continued on
to the old Ferguson spring, thence
on an angle southwest to Cold
spring just under the west wall
and southwark to the spring and
grove that was there in the eight
les. From there it went along the
east wall past the Rabbit Ears
to the old McLntee spring in the
east part of town. Coulee City now
gets its water supply from this old
spring.
500 Camped Here
In 1885 the writer. just a
young fellow then, worked tor Mr.
McIntee, and one evening when
he was there alone. five hundred
Indians camped at the spring over
night.
We talked some with signs and
few Chinook words. They had a
good-aized town of tepees in the
encampment, and were on one of
their regular trips across to the
Yakima country,
After leaving this place the
trail led around the Paul spring
where Clyde Gilbert now lives. and
to the south over the scab top
plateau and down through Trail
canyon.
This may be the very way the
tunnel and canal may go for the
reclamation III the Columbia ba-
sin. Primitive man led the way
and modern man usually finds
that the path was practical. All
nature, including man, follows the
line of least resistance. Nature
prepared the way for the basin

CUP).--Dust storms were report

even before the country was set

tircly eliminated, according to
Prof. r. |. Throckmorton Of Kan
sas State Agricultural college,
who is preparing a drouth report
for the department of agriculture.
mo one expects the blowing of
dust on the plains can be entirely
stopped" Throckmorton said.
Dust storms were reported in
Western Kansas long before the
country was settled and they will
probably always continue
In 1880, according to Throck
morton, the Rev. Isaac Mccoy a
Missionary to the Indians, crossed
Kansas and reported cncountcring
severe dust storm. Weather re-
ports at Dodge City, Kas., in the
early lS90s record similar storms
and that was before the land
was put under cultivation.
GROW WORSE WITH YEARS
However" ThrOCkmorton said,
"thc pillow and recent drouths
have increased the dust problem
immensely. Grass is a natura! So
luton if successful way Of
growing sod on dry, sandy soils
can be found"
Perhaps the most successful
way for farmers TO prevent soil
erosion by wind is TO plant sor-
ohum, grass or other Cover
crops in place Of wheat, Throck-
morton believes. If the land can

ThrOckmorlon said, that not all
the sandy soils in Southwestern
Kansas were IN buffalo grass or
iginally. Many areas were cover
ed with blue stem graSs-the
same variety Of grass which COW
crs the Flint hills grazing area of
Eastern Kansas -,
One trouble in connection with
rcsodding the drouth areas. ac-
cording to Throckmorton, is that
of obtaining supplies Of wild grass
seeds in sufficient quantities. .
As compromise method,
Throckmorton suggested that
farmers plant sorghum crop
early in the summer and leave 1t
unharvestcd so the seed will shat
ter on the ground and possibly
start a volunteer crop the next
year. ,
OTHER GRASSES SUGGESTED
Then buffalo grass strippngs

Once the area has been resod-
dcd successfully, Throckmorton
said, it would be extremely UNI
wise to put it in cultivation again,

land out of cultivation, then the
government should buy it and

The present widespread prac-
