Production Of Sugur
Come Highest Record.
D. Bartlett SdYs

Hearings to establish sugar
prices and wages for the sugar
cane industry in the Virgin
Islands were held at Govern
ment House on Friday. Nov
I ember II. The Sugar Division
of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture was represented
by Charles F. Denny and Will
liam Carrot from Washington
and Jose Capo Caballero from
the San Juan area office.
A number of sugarcane
growers attended the hearings,
and the Virgin Islands Cor
poration was represented by
the President, DR.. Kenneth
Bartlett Comptroller Milligan
and Chief Accountant James.
DR.. Bartlett gave the fol-
lowing statement:
"The production of sugar
cane by the Virgin Islands Cor
poration for the 1861 crop was
the highest on record and
amounted to 96,179 tons, or an
average of A tons per acre.
Extremely favorable growing
conditions throughout the cal
endar year 1860, with a total
rainfall slightly more than go
inches, was largely responsible
for the outstanding crop. A
total of 1874 individual growers
of sugarcane produced some
67,014 tons, with an average
production of % tons per acre.
"In spite of heavy yields of
sugarcane, it was impossible
to keep the factory properly
supplied with cane. Mill lost
time amounted to 1880, of
which 1880 was due to lack
of cane for grinding. This pro-
blem was and will become
more accumulated as a result
Of the field operations being
placed on a 40-hour week ba-
sis. Deliveries of cane on Sa-
turdays were substantially re-
duced due to the requirement
Of paying overtime for work
in excess of 40 hours.

As days passed, Tom was able
to hobble out-of-doors on crutCl-
es for short intervals. If Rcd

this Indian had become so It
tached to him was somewhat If
a mystery to everyone at tie
fort. Always before this, whGn
Cody was not with him Red Bird
had been happy to be alone,
even on marches and maneuvers
of several weeks duration on the
plains. When in camp he was
usually alone but he was seldom
seen in camp. To find Red Bird,
1t was ordinarily necessary to
ask one of the other Indian scouts
about him. They would not have
to leave camp but Red Bird
would show up in, short order.
The signal system of the In
dians has always been a great
marvel to the white man. Need
less to say, it is one of the most
astounding things the world has
ever known. Almost any message
could be relayed hundreds of
miles within a short time. The
same message would take many
times the number of hours or
days required by the Indians, for
the white man to deliver. This
fact has been proved many times.
Tom was a willing and apt stu
dent. He put in much time try
ing to master the sign language.
At last the day came when Cap
tain Meredith told Tom that he
could leave the hospital ward.
1t was April the twenty-second.
He was to live with Red Bird in
d troops barracks, near the sta
bles. Since this certain building
was used for only a small num-
Der of scouts, Tom was given
permission to move in.
In the following weeks, Red
Bird spent hours teaching Tom
the art of using his hands, both
as a sign talker and also as a
knife thrower. He was showing
progress in both Red Bird had
Tom try time and time again at
throwing regular hunting knife
from different distances. The
real secret that he was learning
was to turn the knife while on
its way to the mark, that certain
turn. 1t was hard, but every time
he made that perfect throw he
would be greeted by his teacher,

good, very good.

"Yes, he talked quite a while

"Oh, Red Bird is deadly with

at twelve PAGES, every throw.
And he practices every day, too"
The captain rose from his seat
on the bed and left the room. No
doubt there were other patients
for him to attend as there were
several wards.
The next two weeks were spent
by Tom In verification of his
own thoughts. His leg was heal
ing fine, although it still had a
long way to 60 before it would
be we'll. His treatment at the
hospital was of the best. His
thoughts would wander some
times to his Missouri home, but
overshadowing all others his
mind would drift to Nora Gallo
way. He wondered why she had
been kind to him, why she had
said that she hoped to see him
in Fort Benton. Everything in
his mind was why. He was just
a Missouri Hill Billy he thought,
and she was a city girl. Taking
into consideration what he had
heard Captain Marsh say, Nora's
father had plenty of money.
There were many city fellows
she could kiss, and no doubt but
what she had many friends who
would be glad to allow her this
opportunity. He was so disap-
pointed not to be able to con-
tinue the trip with her. He felt
sure that IL he had gone on, he
would have known before long
why he felt as he did about see
ing and being near her. Then he
would come to the conclusion
that he would have to forget all
about her for he would probably
never see her again. She just
wanted to make him feel good,
and on the spur of the moment
had reached down and kissed him
as the soldiers were carrying him
away. She would forget all that
soon. Maybe she had never CIV
en- him another thought. Why was
he worrying and thinking of
someone he could never see or
be around again. He was foolish.
He would not think of her again.
Then before he scarcely realized
it, he would be wondering about
her again. Time would tell, he
thought, but In the meantime
most of his idle moments were
spent in thinking of her.
Red Bird came to see Tom
every day. He told him many
things about the west and his
people. Red Birds father was a
well-known Mandan Chief who
was killed while hunting buffalo.
His horse had stepped into a
badger hole causing the animal
to turn a somersault. His father
was killed as the horse fell. His

Bird had travelled with Mountain
Chiefs band from the time his
father died, until he was per-
suaded by Buffalo Bill to leave
them and go with him. During
that time he had become one Of
the best warriors of the band.
As tracker, he was excelled by
none.
Mountain Chief had been a
friend of Cody, of long standing.
In 1871, Mountain Chief, repre-.
senting the Blackfeet, had met
Cody in a big pow-wow near the
head of the Big Horn river. Also
present were Long Horse of the
River Crows, Iron Tail from the
Sioux, and Two Moons of the
Cheyennes. Cody had with him
several men of high standing,
who had come from Washington.
They had been sent out to try
TO fix up some of the sore spots
growing since the treaty of 1855.
During their seven days of medi-
cine talks, Cody had come to
like a certain young brave of
Mountain Chiefs band and men,
toned the fact to the Blackfeet
leader. In response to this impli-
cation, Mountain Chief had said
to Shoots Quick buffalo Bid,
What you see and want in my
country you shall have, except
my men, and even one of them
if the desire to go comes from
their heart" Calling Red Bird,
Mountain Chief had continued,
Shoots Quick would have Red
Bird go with him to the south,
among the Crows, Sioux, Ban
hacks, Shoshones and Cheyennes
to be scout for the Great White
Father. To go or stay, you are in
my favor"

The next day Red Bird had gone
