Indians were in a precarious condi-
ton. Different winters the authorities
at Fort Assinniboine issued rations to
them.
The Indians turned to many expe-
dents to live and many can remember
the numbers who met all trains, SELL
ing polished buffalo horns and bead
work to the travellers. Gradually the
tribe split up and gathered in small
camps in the vicinity of the larger
cities, living off the discarded rubbish
of the white folks, eating refuse from
the slaughter houses and animals that
had died from natural or unnatural
causes, the carcasses Of which had not
been destroyed.
In the meantime, there came about
q laxity of morals among the Indians
In fact they became menace to the
health and welfare Of the white people
To remedy these conditions. Mon
tana city authorities decided to appeal
to congress for relief. Realizing that
these Indians were rightly the wards
of Canada, our representatives in
Washington succeeded in getting the
state department to take up, the ques-
ton of returning these people to the
country from which they came. The
British ambassador was notified of the
condition existing and a demand was
made that Canada take back her
people and care for them. This pro-
gram was decided upon and the Brit
Sh agreed to have a detachment OF
troops meet the Indians at the Ca

cavalry stationed at Fort Assinniboine
1t is a matter of local history how
effectually he did this job. However
it is not SO well known how the de-
portation finally came out.
1t appears that in spite of the will

Plan Is Made to Stockpile
Manganese, Chrome at Butte

Arrangements have been made for
the purchase of manganese and
chrome ores and stockpiling 1t in

In connection with the governments
plan to purchase the strategic COM

statement:
Increased activity has been evident
the past 60 days throughout Montana
in the search for manganese, chrome
and other strategic war minerals.
of all the strategic mineral COM

largest quantities. In the production
Of steel, l2.5 pounds of manganese
are needed to purify every short ton
of steel made. In addition, very con-
siderable tonnages of manganese are
required for hardening steel for armor
plate, tractor treads, etc.
IN peacetime, the principal supply
of manganese ore used throughout the
United States comes from abroad
the principal sources being U. S. S. R.,
Cuba, Brazil, British India, Philip
pines and South Africa. Due to the
hazards of war, ocean-going bottoms
are becoming scarce. SO that the
United States has to depend on its
own resources. Accordingly, the gov
eminent is combing every section OF
the country for manganese and other
strategic ores. This has resulted in
an increased production from many
southern, southwestern and western
states.

moved from graves, and their land
is being plowed up and leveled.
Strategic Spot.
The Navy is reticent about ex-
planning how it happened to pick
these rich acres for an air base But
it is public knowledge that here the
Patuxent River is from 80 to 160
feet deep, and charted so: that the
First World War proved this spot to
be valuable mooring place; that
survey was made for railroad to
this spot during that war and is
being feplanned today; that it is
strategic spot between Norfolk and
Anacostia and the naval bases far
ther North; and that aircraft car
riers, the recognized potent battle
craft, could easily anchor of this
new base, and receive supplies,
planes and equipment, or participate
in training. And here was a ire
mendous acreage, fairly level.
The great earth moving jobs here
are simple as compared to what they
would have been at many places
along other neighboring shores. A
seaplane anchorage is being dredged
out there with what would pass in
high engineering circles as an easy
effort; hill is being cut down for
the. site of a series of seaplane
hangers; other work is being done
that the Navy doesn't want to ex-
plain, for reasons of security.
The farmers of the area, and the
gentlemen owners of valuable
waterfront estates were struck
dumb, and then wildly articulate,
when the Navy decided early last
fall to take over this territory. But
nothing could be done to prevent
it, and now the residents have been
mainly pacified. 1t meant sacrifice
of ancestral homes, of blooded stock
of family and church ties for many
| 1t meant removal and literal re-
roofing for many tenant families,
including large number of Ne
groes. But most of these Negroes
have since the first news triumphed
finally beyond their widest dreams;
they are being paid very liberal
wages for labor on the project.
