A Pastoral Scene Forty-Seven Years Ago
With Some Observations on Indion Affairs
And the Blunders OF the White Man
Old Notes Team Up -.

ONE of the contributions
" which frequently come to
this desk-in this instance
clipping from a Tacoma paper
OF date forty-seven-yesrs ago
gives this interesting picture Of
the Tacoma tideflats and the
Puyallup Indian reservation at
that time:
Given as beautiful a day as
yesterday and no more pleasant
journey can be made sfoot than
an extended walk through the
Puysllup reservation. BY the
Tenth street foot bridge across
the channel Preached by a foot
path back Of the Tacoma hoteD

tracks of the Northern Pacific.
and breathing the crisp. salty
air, brings the blood to the cheek
and a pleasant glow throughout
the whole being.
a pair of gum boots is es-
sential, for to see the beauties
of the reservation it will be
necessary to cross fields where
rain and high tides have left
snkle-deep pools. Then a guide
who knows the Indians and
their moods and legends and
who can point out the spot
where Peter Stanup. Indian pa
triot and leader, WAS murdered,
and tell stories of the tribe be-
fore and since the white man
came to Puget Sound, is all that
Ia needed TO make the jaunt
perfect.
The delay In securing right
of-way for the railroads that
would come but for that OBJ
stacle, IL delaying the progress
of Tacoma The claim that the
Indians should not sell this
right-of-way except under con-
ditions laid down by the govern
ment and In violation Of their
citizenship, Ia based on the as
sumption that II they sold the
land the money they received
would he squandered.
1T will be easy to see the
falsity of that excuse. Appar-
emily the Puyallups put their
money to as good use as the
white people, If not better. The
comfortable cottages, substan-
tisl fences, ample home equip
ment and furnishings. cultivat-
ed lands and, last but not least,
the reservation cemetery with
its cleaning white monuments
of marble, give the lie to those
who say that the Indian does not
know how to take care of his
money and exercise the rights OF
citizenship.

he can boost the retail sales slip
by diminishing the supply
through large purchases.
Here is the hidden catch:
Many industries will not be pro-
ducing pesoetims goods in suf-
ficient quantity. II at all, to per-
init such manipulation. In that
event the Washington car can
order from concerns IN Canada,

without regard for foreign wage
scales or protective tariffs. He

somewhat marred when some Of
the conditions are considered.
Beside the cultivated fields lie
hundreds OF acres Of equally
fertile lands rank with brush
and productive Of aught but vain
regrets.
Back on Commencement hay

a market for all thai these
broad acres might produce. while
In the streets Of that city walk
hungry men. eager for work.
Their labor would make the
whole Puysllup valley q garden

Yet not until the fiat goes
forth from those in authority,
labor and the land will be kept
apart, a blight to the eye and
a hindrance to progress.

responsibility of the Puyallups.
they are capable of teaching
the whites many a lesson in
shrewdness, industry and econ
omy.
At the little protestant church
the visitor will hear and see
strange things. The Indian is
naturally religious. The forms
and ceremonies, the music and
the lessons appeal strongly to
his nature. He sees a God in
all nature, and the sophistry Of
the atheist is to him but an
empty sound. Yet today the
Puyallups remain away from
worship as zealously as they
once were wont to flock to the
house of God.
This Is another distinct result
of the impertinent and official
interference with the rights Of
the Indians as citizens. When
Indian Agent Eells foisted on
them as pastor one who. as they
declared unanimously In mass
convention, Is a man who does
not like us, they rebelled and
now stay away from church.
A former pastor, the Rev. M.
G. Mann. won their hearts. The
Indians claim they were wronged
when he WAS removed and a man
they do not want put in his
place. The fact that the salary
is 81 0-comfortable and snug
these hard times-may have had
something TO do with the change.
Yesterday the pastor was
away and the justice Of the
peace, Willie Wilton, preached.
Once the fence around the
church was lined with horses Of
the worshipers and the church
could not hold all who came to
hear Mr.. Mann. Now only a
few come.
Nobody goes to church much
since they took Mr.. Mann
away" said Anton jackson. He

Out again into the open the
beauties of nature. She has
been lavish with her gifts in the
valley. Here and there the
wastes are broken by cultivated
fields with rich, black soil. An
Indian named Thomas Tossolo
has leased and is cultivating a
large piece of ground which
shows the possibilities of the
whole reservation.
Nearby is Mettler Bros. Swiss
dairy, where the fat and sleek
cows gaze at the visitor in mild
surprise.

THIS RACKET

Thrifty governm enters are
scheming to spoil the gentle
racket under which wives OF
Washington dignitaries collect
expensive presents for christen-
ing Frank Knox's fighting craft.
Hereafter feminine officialdom

mond bracelets and sapphire
clips with their own cash. The
capitals social season promises
to become less dazzling to the
eye and less damaging to the
taxpayers pocketbooks.
The house naval affairs COM
mittee has conducted q private
survey of the cost Of the bijoux
which some shipbuilding COM
panies have given to sponsors.
The report reveals that the
jewelry ranges in price from $500
to $4,000. depending on the size
OF the vessel and the pohtico-
social rank of the bottle-buster.
The investigation also disclosed
that many corporations stuff the
outlay for these gifts into their

Many officers and privates on
foreign service make generous
allowances To the home folks.
Some retain only enough cash
for luxury purchases at the can
teen. These ALLEGATIONS cease az
soon as a soldier is reported
killed, except for the six months
salary awarded to immediate
relatives. Under the proposed
law a lost mans remuneration
runs on until he is known to be
dead. The difficulty arises only
when these arrangements have
been continued for a period be-
yond the date of his decease.

sumed to have lost his life and
his name would be stricken from
