January 8, 1910
Honorable Sec. of the Interior
Dear Sirs:
We the members of the Black
feet tribe of Indians, do hereby pro-
test the sale of Oil and Gas leases
as advertised for sale by the pre-
sent Blackfeet Tribal Business
Council dated as of Jan. 4, 1910,
for the following reasons:
Article VII; Section VIII: in our
constitution, and so mentioned in
the advertisement, giving men,
Der of the tribe or cooperative as
ISOLATION preference rights to lease,
does not in our opinion concern the
sale of Oil and Gas Leases, but re-
fers strictly to farming and grazing
leases, Business leases, and graz
ing permits, if in the event such ar
ticles did include the sale of oil and
gas leases, would be unfair and
detriment to the vast majority of
the members of our tribe for the
very simple reason that it would
withdraw valuable minerals and oil
lands from the competitive bidding
regulations. Thereby depriving or
possibly depriving from receiving
fair bonus price from their oil and
gas leases and leaving a select few
to possibly prosper at the expense
of the members of the whole tribe.
If some of our financially able
members would care to bid on these
lands as provided by regulations,
etc, in an open and competitive bio,
there would be no objections we
are sure.
We want to also call your atten-
ton to the facts as reported by your
Auditors report. Of 4 report date
that there were numerous irregu-
laritieS, etc, committed by the pre-
sent council. And we are convinced
beyond doubt that the article and
the section they quote is a deliber-
ate act on their part to misconstrue
the meaning of Article VII: Section
III; to enable few, being men,
bers of our council to pull off a
grand steal on the tribe We are
making arrangements to call a pub
lie meeting of the members of the
tribe to inform them of what we
think is wrong and your office will
undoubtly receive numerous other
protests. Hoping that we have made
ourselves clear on this issue, we
beg to remain,
Respectfully yours,

Billions for a Aandicap!

Farmers especially will be interested in what
Senator Clyde NJ Reed of Kansas has to saw about
transportation because for many years he has repre-
sented farm organizations in transportation matters
Recently, in Chicago, he spoke the need for q
sound national transportation policy"
what am trying to do a United States
Senator, he said, sis to help the country straighten
out its tangled transportation situation so that tho
most efficient and economical service may bs
given to the public at the lowest COST
Characterizing most river improvement schemes
"rackets," Senator Reed asserted that finland
waterway transportation is low cost transporta.
ton; it is the highest cost transportation as
pared with the highways or the railroads. The only
reason for lolDer charges is the subsidy paid by
taxpayers out of the public treasury"
"The important thing in this connection, he said,
"is whether going to continue to tax the
whole people for the benefit of comparatively small
number Of people. Are the cities and trade centers
located off the rivers to be- not only taxed but addi-
tonally penalized by lower freight charges given
their competitors located the rivers? My answer
IS MOI"
Farmers as a WHOLE" the Kansas Senator
declared have not proted cent by the billions of
dollars spent on river improvement The pro.
moters Of river navigation, he added hold out to
the public the idea that it is getting some benefit
from raids upon the public treasury" but that I'm
most the commodities so moved are sold to
the public the basis of lower river rates. but
on q basis of the higher railroad rate
~ proclaim my belief here and no.o" said
Senator Reed, "that a sound pu bic policy
lOould be one that imposed upon all traffic
using facilities created out of the public treas
ury, tolls that Would reasonably recon,pense
the taxpayers for the money taken from, them.
If that .Dere done, traffic uVould noue by the
cheapest and best route"

gone to one Of the far places on a
colorcd map as to come back and
fail her so.
Yet, all of the time, a slow sing
ing was beginning somewhere
within her. She did not think about
it much at that moment. She con-
centrated on the fact that Ronald
had failed her.
Yet, she unused, as the water
churned in white foam around the
prov of the small passenger boat,
he had not wanted to harm am
other. He had said that the testi-
mony could be given when it be-
came necessary. But he did not
want to risk his own career.
Maybe Ronald was right and life
was a selfish road. Maybe you must
think always of your own desires.
But if life was that way, it was
scarcely worth the living.
No. She would go on as she was.
She became aware that someone
was watching her. She looked
around. No eyes seemed to be
studying her. Yet there was that
persistency of being guarded.
She did not leave the Terry sta
ton, but paid her fare and got
back on the boat. She found place
to stand where the night wind
would blow her hair and the stars
could shine down brightly on the
dark water.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, she whis-
pered, you'll wake up and know
you sent Ronnie away. And maybe
he was right. Maybe you were be-
ing silly. Maybe you can reach him
noWm
There was eagerness in that
thought. Then she remembered
that it was too late for such an ac-
ton because she had given her in
formation to the police. But maybe
Ronnie would be sorry and penitent
and ask her forgiveness. Perhaps
she should have hurried home in
stead of going for an aimless ferry
ride.
At the thought that maybe Ron
aid was waiting for her, Linda be-
came tense and restless. She want
ed the boat to hurry back to the
cyclorama of buildings that swept
the skyline.
But even as she thought of that
she became aware that the watch
ing eyes were on her again.
Suddenly a strange woman spoke.
Good evening. You are Linda
Avery, are you not?
There was something distantly
familiar about the woman. Some
place their paths had met briefly
once. Some place
Eyes, I'm Linda Avery" she an
swered, studying the others face.
Then, with a quick recognition, she
knew her.

and vet she loved, or maybe bad
loved. Ronald.
IT. was lonely in The apartment
g.hcn she returned to it. She missed
Caroline. There was no one now
who might call her whose voice she
especially wished To- hear. In some
urdcfndblc way she knew that
Ronald would not try to reach her,
would not apologize.
Wen. that was all right. she told
herself as she lay in a warm tub
Of pcrfumcd water. II Was better

good, it had TO be worthwhile,

on, ran to somewhere, and no one
could lao nv the roadside.
She dried herself, brushed hcr
amber curls until the electricity
cleaned, wrapped herself in Il vel
low silk ncgligcc ana sat down by
tho window. She cGl;id see Il ""d

monastery across the way. She
could hear low voices chanting
prayers. Across the garden there
was peace.
Because Ronald had been first to

strained and worried, and she felt
IA sweep of the old tenderness. Not
the old love, she thought even
then. But the old dc.'ntiGr. His
words drove il away
LINDA, will you dress and meet
me right away? It's Saral-We
have 10 find her"
sarah? Where did she gof
What has she donc?"
"Thats if. I'll tell you when /
soc yOu. She's not done anything.
But those papers, and wcll-how
SDon can you be rcady?"
Fifteen minutes. maybe ten"
In that moment she was aware
that for The first time since she
had moved into the apartment
she could not find the red light on
the altar of the sanctuary next
door.
She slipped into the thin black
dress with the Peter Pan collar
and pulled Il white uIrban over
her curls. Her pumps and bag
were black. but she found a fresh
rair Of white gloves. 1T might be
cold outside, she decided, and
took along "A thin black coat.
She did not wait for Ronald to
ring her bell. but went down the
stairs. She would wait for him
outside the entrance on the wide
steps. Had he forgotten their diff
fcrcnccs that he should come back
like this? Or was Sarah so impor-
tant to him that he had no pride,
no hesitation in asking her Linda,
10 help him?
II didn't matter. she told her
self.
1t was sweet and quiet in the
street. City trucks were dampen-
in!; ;hc pavcmcnts with long
sprays of water.
ItOnald'S car slid up to the curb
and he spoke her name just as a
tall figure SWING up the steps.
"Robcrt," she called, not quite
conscious That she spoke his
rame.
! She saw him look at Ronald,
then he smiled, said good evening"
and turned toward the door.
She took a step toward him. IN

act quickly, act now, o" II might
be forever too late.

Ronald was calling, trace OF I'M

CHAPTER THIRTY.FINE

1T WAS hours later when Linda
AID Ronald faced each other in q
small restaurant where fat candles
."ere melting in round holders and
the food was too heavy for a sum-
mer night. The place was off the
beaten track. That was why they
had chosen it.
They had a great deal to say to
each other, Linda realized, looking
at the familiar face across the ia
BILE, near. dear, and yet so suddenly
4 stranger.
She played with fruit cup that
she didn't want, and waited for
the swing musician who, after ALL
was Ronnie, who had way with a
horn, to speak.
He pushed the fruit cup away
and gathered her restless hands in
his.
Linda, precious, if we are going
on together there are some things
that we must share, must talk
over. 1t won't help Parrish for you
to become involved again in the
case. If your evidence is needed,
use it, but wait. Maybe you won't
have to speak. I'm going along on
the tour Linda, after all.
They just gave me a raise and
a better billing and permission to
marry. It's what I want. You know
how I've always wanted to play
my horn"
The blue eyes begged her to I'M
derstand and the pressure on her
hands deepened.
Yes, I know, Ronnie." she an
swered.
And you'll wait, Linda love?"
Very gently she withdrew her
hands. "Ronnie, an old man and
woman are frightened to death be-
cause of all of this. If Mr.. Parrish
is guilty, then he'll be discovered
But he isn't. And I can help him
HOW. l Gail save SSHSldi HSShS Va
torment. Oh, Ronnie, don't you
sse?"
A little wind had sprung up in
the street outside, making the
candles flicker. The waiter took
away the untouched fruit cups and
brought something in a casserole,
but neither one looked at it.
Linda, I'm asking you to let me
decide thism
NO. Ronnie. I've a duty to dc
and I'm doing it."
He looked at her as though ne
had not seen her before. Sarah
said you were-hard."
Sarah? You talked me over
with her? And maybe she advised
this?" She put down her napkin
II guess our ways divide right
here, ROnnie. We-don't follow the
same rules any more. We're sort
of strangers" She hesitated, wait
ing for him to say something. to
draw her back to her seat or follow
her. but when he did nothing she
tossed her amber curis higher
Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1940-08-07

"Good-goodby, Ronnie." 1t WIS
just a whisper.
And then she was gone She be-
gan to run. Once she thought eager
steps We're sounding behind her,
but she did not look back. Once she
thought someone called her name,
but she told herself that it was be-
cause she wanted to hear it called.
Well, something was over. At
the immensely of it, her knees felt
weak. All of her life. since she Was
eight, she had been journeying to
meet ROnnie. Every signpost led
to him.
Now what should she do since
he was gone? What did other
women do? Make masks for their
faces and wear them day long and
night long?
Because Linda didn't know the
answers to her questions she began
to walk. She felt curiously empty.
She had been walking blocks be-
fore she realized that there was a
lightness to the emptiness. She was
lost and lonely and tomorrow she
would wake up and her heart
would do the curious things that
stories said hearts did when they
We're suffering, but tonight, for
little space of time, she felt-re-
lieved.
She was ashamed of herself be-
cause she did. She tried to remem-
Der Ronald's wide shoulders
hunched over the table, but ali she
could hear was his voice begging
her not to give her evidence just
yet.
She glanced at the name OF the
street where she was, hailed a taxi
cab, and gave the address of the
Central Police station. There was
no reason now for Withholding her
information.
Eventually she reached the office
of an assistant prosecutor, who
listened attentively.
II think you may save the man,
Miss Avery" he said. We've tried
to account for that missing time.
You are sure you have the hour
correctly?"
Certainly. The clerks remember
that was in the coffee shop and
that Clarabell telephoned for a
milkshake, so I couldn't have done
it, and Mr.. Parrish was there at
the very same time"
Relieved, she left the offices. She
was far downtown. She strolled
over to the harbor. Boats were in
and ferries were leaving. She paid
her fare, passed through the turn
stile, and climbed on a boat for
Staten Island.
AS the towers and skyscrapers
of Manhattan swung their lamps
through soft summer darkness, she
caught her breath. This was New
York, city of dreams and enchant-
ment and mystery. Not far away
the Hoboken ferry was chugglng
merrily. Ronald had said he would
send card some day from the Ho-

Stute Formers Obtuin
Fertilizer Under AAA

Mississippi farmers obtained 23,80O
pounds of triple superphosphate and
100000 pounds of limestone as grants
of-aid under the 1889 agricultural
conservation program, according 20
E. H. White. state director of extern
will be continued under the 1910
AAA program.
Director White explains that "tri-
pie superphosphate and limestone
al be obtained by farmers coop
Grating in the AAA program without
paying cash. The materials can be
secured when needed and the cost
will be deducted from the conserva-
ton payment made to the farm under
the 1910 program"
The county agents and the admin
~istrative assistants who are in charge
of the program receive applications
from farmers, pool these applications
and order the phosphate and lime
stone in carload lots.
The materials can be used for fer
tilizing summer and winter legumes
and permanent pastures. Director
White reports that farmers who nave
used these materials have almost
invariably doubled production of le-
gume crops and pasture grasses and
clovers.
Farmers who use these materials
according to specifications prepared
by the state AAA committee can
earn soii+building payments at the
rate of $50 per 300 pounds of 16
per cent superphisphate or it's equiv
alent, and $50 for 1.5O0 pounds of
ground limestone or its equivalent.
Since the grant-of-aid program was
not inaugurated In Mississippi until
last November. Director White be-
lieves that many o farmers will
