ABRAHAM LINCOLN-18O9-1865

AS these early February days and go be-
and more conscious of two great men in the
history of these United States and the in which
they have influenced the lives and thoughts of those
living today Washington and Lincoln, great and
presidents laid down certain preceps which all
Americans have accepted automatic truths.
Perhaps single political campaign is held nova
days without the other candidates comparing his
platform his ideas with those of Washington or
Lincoln The halls of congress echo with oratorca utter
ngs of pseudo statesmen who ring in the of Wash
ington and Lincoln at every opportunity.
And every year editorial writer's write long winded
burbs about the father of country and the great
emancipation.
Everything we've read about Lincoln dwindles
to insgnificance characterization of the who
born to obscurty 1872 years ago in Kentucky log
cabin, when recall the soul-stirrng phrases of his
Gettysburg speech, originally scrbbed the back of
tattered envelope and given extemporaneously.
With America the verge of second world
with Germany (if not actually already nvolved) it
might do well for all of to reread the simple speech
Abraham delivered at Gettysburg, Nov. 10, 1863
LINCOLNS GETTSBURG SPEECH
Fourscore and seven years ago fathers brought
forth this continent nation, conceived in liberty
and dedicated to the proposition that all created
equal. Now engaged in great civil war; testing
whether that nation, any other nation conceived
and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met a
great battlefield of that We have come to dedicate
portion of that field final resting place for those
who here gave their lives that the Nation might live It
altogether fitting and that should do this
But, in larger sense, cannot dedicate-we cannot
communicative cannot hallow-ths ground. The brave
living and dead who struggled there have consecra
ed it. far above poor power to add detract The
world will little note, nor long remember what we say
here, but it forget what they did here 1t is
for the living rather to be dedicated here the
finished work which they who fought here have thus
noby advanced. 1t is rather for to be here dedca
ed to the great task remaining before us-that from
these honOred dead take increased devotion to
cause for which they the last full of devo
hon-that We here highly resolve that these dead shall
not have died in van-tha this nation, under God shall
have new birth of freedom and that government of the
people, by the people, for the peop shall perish

Silver, Gold Ore
Is Sent for Shrine

A piece Of Montana gold and silver
ore, about the size Of a half building
brick was sent to Catholic rectory
in Pennsylvania to be used in the con-
struction Of shrine.
The stone was sent in answer to
request by the Rev A. J. Angelini Of
Our Lady of Mount Carmel rectory,
New Columbus, Nesquehoning, Pa, who
wrote Gov. Sam G. Ford, I'VE are
building a shrine reproducing the
famous shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes
in France to express the democratic
unity of this great nation Of ours.
THE plans for the shrine call for
the inclusion of a rock from every
state, each no larger than mans
fist, and all 48 rocks to form the back
ground to the altar Of the shrine upon
which will be offered frequent
prayers for the welfare Of our nation
and for the civil and church author

stamp mill where the quartz was
crushed, and later made into bars.
There was very little money in cir
culation. When miner made pur-
chases he threw down on the counter
the stout buckskin purse that held his
gold dust, and the merchant weighed
out the amount due him, and quite
frequently more, for he had every OPP
portumity to cheat, If he so desired.
Gold was then at a premium; but this
was not allowed the purchaser. If an
article was worth five dollars in green
backs, five dollars was paid in gold.

INDIAN POVERTY
is REAL PROBLEM
TO GREAT FALLS
FOUR CHILDREN HAVE DIED OF
DYSENTERY; OFFICIALS
SEEK SOLUTION

There is disease, squalor and pow
erty on Hill 81 but there is also dig
nifty and pride. Hin 81 joins the north
ern city limits Of Great Falls.
There is a caste and class distinction
on Hill 81, as there is everywhere.
Jim Gopher, full-blooded Cree, head
of his clan and the direct head Of
seven fiill-blooded Cree families on Hill
81, has many sons and daughters and
many grandsons and granddaughter.
| He talks with dignity and humor
Today he is probably smiling as he
finds the county public welfare board
has sent letters regarding the situa-
ton on Hill 81 to Senators Burton K
Wheeler and James e. Murray, Con-
gresham James F. O'Connor and Con-
gresswoman Jeanette Rankin.
For Gopher already has been in COM
munication with Senator Wheeler, who
Blackfeet Indians
He has letters from Senator Wheel
er; and he may personally go back to
Washington, not to beg for favors but
to ask with pride a successful and last
ing solution Of the problem of the wan
dering tribes, the Chippewas and the
Crees.
He knows present conditions are fore
ing the nonward Indians and the races
intermingled with them to become
garbage can people"
Want Only Homes
This he does not want; what he
wants, little enough, is land where In
dams can build for permanency. He
wants land where there are streams
or at least a stream, land where fire
wood may be gathered, land where
some stock can be pastured and some
food raised
Hill 81, he knows, isn't a problem |
peculiar to Great Falls. Lewistown, !
Havre, Chinook and Helena have sim |
liar encampments.
And on Hill 81 there is no water,
there Is no pasture and there Is no
wood to keep the rude sllacks warm
when Montana's winter sends the ther-
mometer plunging downward. The In
dams are not Hsquatters" there; they
bought land ON the hill-the only land
they could afford-from the county.
From Gopher and his family's camp
on the side Of Hill 81 they look across
q sweep Of valley to Sun river and one
Of the Indians, blinded in one eye,
says Indian land"
Examination of county records shows
n 1886 the United States paid $S,77807
FOR AZ acres of land. The land Is along
SUN river directly across from the
Riverside dance han. It is now in alf-
alfa and leased to a dairy.
In 1885 its purchase was an effort
10 solve the Hin 81 problem and the
spent $8,77S of tax dollars
20 purchase it.
White people building homes in that
section complained. The project was
and the indian service was

ion to its efforts to solve the prob

on Sept. 6, 1916, A. P. Klingler Of
Savoy became Great Northern station
agent at this Milk river valley town,
and with the exception Of IS months
spent in the army In the first World
war, he has been there ever since.
So this year gave Klingler occasion
to celebrate the 25th anniversary Of
his arrival at Savoy. Things have
changed In the Milk river valley in
that time. The sugar beet industry has
come into being in the valley. An inn

Fourth avenue northwest and Fifteenth
street, so Indians could secure pure
water by travelling from three-fourth
Of mile to a mile and one-half for It.
And even then the question was asked.
Who win pay for the water these peo-
pie use2"
Until lately they had secured water
from watering trough and risked In
lection due to animals using the same
trough.
And Gopher, as he looked across the
valley from the bleak side Of Hiu 81
had sadness In his heart, too, for his
grandson, George, year and months
old, was one Of the four children who
died from what is believed to be bacfl-
larry dysentery and from which sew
eral other children are dangerously III.
The city-county health office in Great
Falls said the children were especially
subject y the disease due to malnutri-
ton and lack of sanitation.
Talking to the Chippewas and Crees
one learns some are nonwards OF the
government. One young man said he
was born in Canada, educated at
Browning and had worked on the WPA
until he had been forced from his en-
ployment because he was an allen"
He said to secure his naturalization
papers to become a citizen he would
have TO have $18, more than a for
eigner admitted to this country on a
passport would have to have to secure
his papers.
Write to Washington
While the Cascade county public well
fare board has now written Washing
ton and the Great Falls city council
has referred Hill 81 to several commit
ties more determined effort for per-
manent solution of the nonward and
landless Indians is being made by a
nonward Indians group headed by j. II.
DuSsome of Rocky Boy, president:
Thomas Ouilette, vice president, and
Mrs. B. M. Phillips Of Landulsky, prorI-
inent ranch woman and, social worker.
This group wants the Indians to have
pasture land, and irrigabIe land on
which the Indians would have a chance
to live. They oppose giving the m
dams dry lands from which the whites
have been driven by drought.
Mrs Phillips made trip to Wash
lngton, ID. c., in June, and saw Mon
lana solons and representatives of the
indian service.
Interest is now aroused In proposed
resettlement project for 80 families in
Phillips county.
Mrs. Phillips has said the group win
continue the work until a permanent
solution IS obtained for the nonward
indian problem.
In July a two-day statewide meeting
vas held at Malta.

stepped out onto his hand. 1t was
the figure Of the farmer.
He walked across the Kings hand
and said, Il remember that witch
and what the farmers did to her
100 years ago. But it takes a brave
man."
Tell me-" said the King.
I'm the daytime she sleeps in a
bats nest" said the tiny farmer.
IF some one can bind her ankles
with a green wheat leaf she will do
what she is told when she wakes.
But the man must beware. She
sleeps lightly and if she wakes and
looks into his eyes before the wheat
is tied the man will be blind"
I'VE must hurry to send out that
news" said the King. Some one
can catch Carl. He must be deep
into the next kingdom by now"
In half an hour 100 Of the Kings
soldiers were on their way. They
had been told to cover every road
leading from Harald's kingdom into
the next realm and to bring the
news to Carl.
They didn't find him. But they
all finally arrived at the castle
where the Princess Hildur lived with
her father and mother. the King
and Queen of the Kingdom Of the
Wide Rivers. They told their story
to the King
At that very moment Carl was
riding into the castle gates after he
had failed to shoot the witch. He
was delighted with the story Of the
wheat leaf. But Carl seemed so
young the King was reluctant to
send him in pursuit of the witch.
So he chose an older man, named
Helmer. Carl was disappointed. but
he waited to see what Helmer's ad-
ventures would be. BY sunset Hell
mer returned. He had tried, but
he was blind.
Then the King turned to Carl and
said, my friend, King Harald cher
ishes you. But since you still wish
to try your luck I shall consent be-
cause this disaster can harm not
only us but King Harald."
81 will succeed" said Carl.
He planned to go alone, but Santa
insisted on going with him. They
rode back, to the burning wheat
fields, and there they met q group
Of excited farmers who volunteered
to point out the barn where the
witch was thought to sleep In q
bats nest.
When the farmers were gone
Santa whispered to Carl. Its plain
you can't do what the last man did.
I have an idea. I have small pipe
which plays very sweet tunes.
When We find the witch asleep I'll
play on the pipe, and she may drop
of into a very heavy sleep. Then
your task will be easier"
"Fine!" said Carl.
Long after the stars had come up
Carl and Santa crept into the
barns loft and found the nest In
which the little witch was sleeping
Santa began to play tunes on his
pipe, so sweetly that dozens of
night butterflies flew in and
danced about his head. The tiny
witch stirred in her sleep, smiled.
and then muggled down to q very
deep sleep.
Carl watched, and when he saw
that, he took . green wheat leaf
from his pocket, fashioned it into
slip-knot. and In . fash he had

1t tied tightly about the witch's
ankles.
That walked the witch. She tried
to jump to her feet, but she STUN
bled. Then she hung her head and
said. Lead me"
But Carl wanted to be sure she
wasn't acting. He had closed his
eyes tightly when she wakened, and
he kept them closed, but he said,
sharply, Take of your shoes" He
heard her rustic around and take
them of. Then he said, Now put
them on again" He heard her
grumble as she obeyed. Then he
felt her feet. The shoes were on.
So he opened his eyes, chuckled,
picked her up, and put her In his
pocket. He and Santa climbed
down out Of the barn loft and
started back to the castle with the
witch.

lestiOn: What can l do to help?
swer: Get the most mileage possible
out of your present tires. Here are
some helpful suggestions given in a
radio address last July by Mr.. John
L. Collyer, president OF The B. F.
Goodrich Company.
Maintain recommended or rated
air preSsures at all times.
Do not run tire constantly on
the same wheel; instead shift your
tires from wheel to wheel every
few thousand miles to insure even
wear.
Don't take corners at high speed:
that wears tires faster than any
thing else.
Never slam on your brakes-ex-
cept to prevent an accident.
Have your wheel alignment, front
and rear, checked regularly.
Don't drive too fast-for high
speed heats up tires and hastens
deterioration and wear.
Start up gently, do not spin your
wheels and grind off rubber.
Do not bump into curbs-no tire
will Withstand such abuse.
ABOVE ALL, do not use your car
unnecessarily. Decide intelligently
whether the trip you want to take
is really worthwhile in the face OF
this situation. Take turns riding
in neighbors' cars. Use buses and
other local or national transporta-
ton facilities wherever possible.
