SOMETHING NEW IS ADDED

From Glacier Park Station, the
road westward across the Rocky
Mountains is a blaze of color at
this time of year, with the gold of
ripened aspens and the brilliant
reds of frosted sumacs standing
in sharp contrast to the dark
green of countless evergreens.
This October, something new
has been added the bright
colored paper streamers tackled
on posts and used by seismic out
fits to mark shooting points. From
Glacier Park Station westward
for a distance of 20 miles, III the
vicinity of the continental divide,
the highway over the mountains
is thanked by hundreds of such
markers.
Evidently bent on putting the
markers to immediate practical
use are two seismograph outfits,
using trucks with McCone county
license plates, but bearing nc
company insignia.
The answer?

Who Owns This Land Of Ours?

At the hearing with the Com
missioner of Indian Affairs Glenn
Emmons last Saturday afternoon,
one of the full-blood Indian speak
ers remarked that at one time
the Blackfeet Indians owned
all the land between the Yellow
stone river and the Rocky Noun
tains, stressing some point to the
effect that the government owes
the Indians large sum of mon
ey in payment therefor.
This remark naturally raised
the question in the minds of some
listeners as to who really does
own this land, and who has own
ed it in the past and through
what processes this so-called own
ership has passed down from gen
Grafton to generation to its pres
ent owners"
It might be recalled that this
year the United States is cele-
brating the 15Cth anniversary of
the Louisiana Purchase, a govern
mental move whereby the consti-
tuted government Of this nation
acquired title to a vast area of
land between the Mississippi riv-
err on the east to the Rocky Noun
tains on the west. This sO-called
purchase, with one courageous
move on the part of the then pre-
sident of the United States -
Thomas jefferson - and his ad-
visers, pushed the boundaries Of
these United States far westward
and laid the foundation of its
eventual extension to the Pacific
coast, and also resulted in the
acquiring a vast area rich in nat
ural resources upon which the
nation went on to develop, and
eventually eliminated in the So
lidifying and building up of the
most powerful nation on the face
of the earth.
1t might also be recalled that
prior to the Louisiana Purchase,
some half dozen different nations
had laid claim to all or parts of
this same rich area, including ev-
en- Russia. The most persistent
claimants, however, were Great
Britain, France and Spain. The
U. S. acquired title through a
more or less dubious deal with
Napoleon Bonaparte, who in real
ity had no right to sell it. Any
way, the deal was made for a
small fraction of it's real value,
and the U. S. has held title since
Individually we think if we
have good deed to a piece of
real estate, with no encumbrance,
we "oWn" it. When as a matter
of fact that deed or patent, would
be no more than scrap of paper
if this nation ever lost a war or
suffered invasion. The convey
ance instrument is good only so
long as the government back of
it is valid and can protect the
individuals Ownership"
When Coll m b us discovered
America there were only a few

ing the whole continent, and they
were making little use of the a.
bundant resources upon which
the greatest nation on the face of
the earth was later developed,
numbering in population more
than $50 million people.
The Ownership" of the great
tract of land mentioned by our
Indian friend was not valid be-
cause they had no strong govern
ment to protect their claim to
ownership.
Prior to World War l Germany
was one of the strongest and
proudest nations of the earth, and
considered herself all-powerful.
Her citizens were confident in the
Ownership" of their property,
and felt no anxiety as to their
future. After the passing of less
than a third of a century, and
losing two wars, Germany was
torn asunder, her citizens by the
millions killed or suffered a
worse fate; their property titles
nullified and their lands devas-
tated, and hordes of her citizens
hustled off to concentration
camps and slave labor of the con-
quering enemy.
We in the United States are
apt to take our Ownership" and
precious freedoms for granted,
because we have always known
them, and think of our govern
ment as invincible. We all hope
and pray that it will remain in
vincible, as it always has been,
but the history of nations in the
past gives little assurance. Rome
lasted for more than six centur-
les, and finally fell apart because
Of corruption from within. Less
than one hundred years ago
Great Britain was the strongest
nation the world had seen up to
that time, but has now been sue
ceeeded in that position by the
U. S. A.. which 100 years ago was
Just struggling young democ-
racy.
1t would seem that the only
true Ownership" of the universe
and all things therein is the great
Creative Power, call that power
whatever you may, and that any
other is transient and more or
less temporary. The present de-
velopments of atomic power seem
TO accentuate that point.
What we started out to say was
that our Indian friend who
claimed the ownership for his
people of all the land between
the Yellowstone river and the
Rocky Mountains is based on no
stronger premise than that of the
German people, the Romans or
countless other peoples who have
come and gone in the ages past.
If there is any point to this
piece, it would be to point out
to the Indian people that they
will have to adjust themselves to
conditions as they are - not as
they would like them - and OBJ
tain as just a settlement as they
can from their government. That
the Indian people have been
robbed, cheated and mistreated
in countless different ways is not
to be denied. But the fault has
largely been that their history
has been one of being mistreated
by individuals, rather than their
government, who have in many
instances taken advantage of the
Indian race through greed, self
ishness, chicanery and downright
skullduggery. But the govern
ments overall policy has been
at least an attempt to deal fair
ly with the Indian people, and if
this attempt has proven a fail
