the beaver. These, they thought, were
formerly men, but doomed for some
sin TO lead their present lives until
they had worked out their own sal
walton.
White men who witnessed them
were sometimes carried away by the
impressiveness Of Indian ceremonies
as when Angus Macdonald, for the
time being, became an Indian, on
hearing the touching strains of the
San-ka-ha, the Salish chant before
going into battle. He records. Il
stripped myself with the leading men,
painted with vermilion my upper body
and mounted on my black buffalo
charger with my full eagle feather
bonnet, cantered round and round
with them, keeping time to the song"
Perhaps 1t was this synthetic ma
ture that made Scotchmen from the
Highlands figure so largely in the fur
companies lists of factors. A High
lander once said, If 1t had not been
for the English, my people today
would be but Slightly more civilized
than the Indians"
In the case of Macdonald, one may
question if his conduct on the occasion
mentioned was not momentary re-
version TO type, and wonder If all OF
us who are of Gaelic blood, do not
have this latent strain allying us with
the ingenious children of nature,
which needs but touch to awaken.
Howard Suspected Them
General Howard considered the Sal
ish fine looking, but while they had
the reputation OF being friendly with
the whites, he was not sure they aided
him in his pursuit of the Nez Perces.
He did not think justified Charlot's
claim that he and his men saved the
inhabitants of the Bitter Root valley
from determination. Howard said the
Flatheads, while protesting and prac-
ticing neutrality, gave the hostile In
dams all the information they needed
to escape from us when Gibbon was
hemming them in near Fort Missoula.
They also carried information to the
Indians that my command was about
to strike the Nez Perces while they
were clustered around Gibbons camp
at the Big Hole, gradually picking off
and killing and wounding his soldiers
one by one. Indeed, in my opinion,
/ they furnished friendly emissaries to
, the white people and at the same time
were good spies for the hostile Neg
Perces. and managed to keep peace
with all Of U.S."
| Howard concludes this statement
with the reflection, Such neutrality
passes current among Christian ma
tons if not too infinitely investigated"
1t was because of the fear of set
tiers that the Flatheads might be in
duced to unite with some of the war
ring tribes, that Fort Mssoula was
established. Soldiers there, it was
thought, could hold the Flatheads in
check by preventing their roaming.
When We consider the friendly re-
lations which had long existed be-
tween the Salish and the Nez Perces,
it is not surprising that they should
have aided Chief Joseph to escape
To offset this action on their part, we
are told of Charlot's refusal to shake
hands with Joseph, because he had
shed the blood of white men.

He dropped his hands to his side and

INDIANS CALLED
.FLATHEADS WERE
REALLY SALNH
AND THEY WERE FIRST RED MEN
IN MONTANA TO EMBRACE
CHRISTIANITY

The term "Flathead" Is a misnomer
when applied to the Indians inhabit-
ing northwestern Montana, as they
are not F1atheadS, but Salish How
they ever came to be wrongly desig-
mated is a matter of dispute Some
claim it was due to reports given out
by early travellers, who found near the
Pacific coast a tribe of Indians who
flattened the heads Of their Children
in order to distinguish them from
their prisoners, whose heads were Of
normal shape. These Flatheads, being
the first Indians seen, the name was
given to all western Indians
Another, and more probable reason
advanced for this error, is that eX-
plorers from the east, finding Flat
heads among the Salish thought the
fashion common to the tribe, when it
was not. The Flatheads in their midst
were slaves taken in wars with the
tribes farther west.
The Salishian family. according to
American ethnology. is scattered
throughout the northwest. These spoke
nearly the same language. and all took
their name from our Salish, whose
home was in the Bitter Root valley
and the adjacent country. The Salish
called their land "Spetlemen,' which
interpreted is THE place Of the Bitter
Root" fact noted by Father Palla-
dino, Of whom there could be no better
authority on everything relating to
the so-called Flatheads.
Friendly With Nez Perces
On the western side of the Bitter
Root mountains lived the Nez Perces.
Friendly relations existed between the
two tribes and inter- marriages were
frequent.
The Salish were the first Indians in
Montana to become Christians, and
the story of their conversion is we'll
known. The strange thing in connec-
ton with this is their having asked
that missionaries be sent them, and
that this request was the outgrowth
of instruction given them by certain
Iroquois, who had come to them from
Canada. Those who have read Par
mans The Jesuits in North Ameri-
ca" know that the Iroquois subjected
the Fathers to horrible torture of
which it makes one Shudder to read,
and yet we later see descendants of
these same IroQuois not only advising
the Salish to send for the BLACK
Robes" but willing to go to st. Louis
through the country of bitter enemies,
in order to fetch them. Their persis-
