CHILDREN OF THE NARROWS ft ? i O .. i ? . PeiUiiar Tribe of Indians Who Live ty Wjsbington. TEN MORE YEARSOF FELL LIBERTY * ? 1 Have Religion "and Traditions of Their Own, and Prefer Not to Mix vritn me Whites?Live Mainly on Such Wild Food as Is to Be Found Easily at Hand, A As they would put it, the wise men of the Children of the Narrows have been assured by the.Great White Father that their tribe may fish, dig: roots and pick berries for ten more summers without interference from pale faces. Technically, the Yakima Indians, of Shahaptlan stfl?k, have been granted freedtgn of thetT reservation; iu Washington state, for'"ten more years, without acceptance of any duties and privileges of American citizenship. Some 1,300 of the Yakimas thus arc assured the untrammeled freedom of their tribal customs, explains a bulletin from the Washington, D. C.t headquarters of the National Geographic Society. Thus not only are these Indians made happy, but the friends of the Red Man will bo given further opportunity to study one of the more primitivo * groups of American aborigines, who have not btcr\ spoiled by too sudden imposition of the white man's civiliznti0n' Derisive Name Stuck. 1 The Takimas take their name from a derisive nickname, meaning "runu-! ways." applied by other tribes: and) they have given thit name to the Ya- ! kima river^ along which they live. They call themselves "\Vaptailmin,'' meaning "Children of thp Narrows," in reference to the narrows of that riVer, less poetically designated Union (lap on the maps. Tribal customs'.among all the Sliahaptians, to which linguistic family the Yakimas belong, are similar. The Shahaptlans ranged over what now Is northeastern Oregon and southwest Idaho as wefl as in Washington. UntutMiiiccj kent them no 1 Idlil 1VVU madic, though village communities fre* quently formed, and just uj frequently would' migrnto to more productive places. t They ate salmon, roots and berries, and Lewis and Clark, who found tljem in 180$, said that they also hunted.. Offshoots of the Shaluiptian sto^k included the Nez Perces, the "pinchednose rfjen," whohe leader, Joseph, won comparison with the march of Xenophons' Ten Thousand for his retreat after an attack upon white usurpers of his ancient home lands in Oregop. High Priest of the "Dreamers." Smolialla, "the ?reacher," founder of' that 'myktic Indian bar.d known asj "Dreamers," also was Shanaptiun. m the Columbia river region, near the present-day home of the Yakimas, he preached a gospel strikingly like that of Candhi, loader of the non-cooperation movement in British India today. After wanderings Jn the deserts south to Mexico, during which he claimed to have visited the spirit world,'he returned to counsel the Indians to "return to their native ways of living, decline instruction or 'association with the white men, and above all follow their own gods. Chief Joseph embraced this faith. v , * Disputes ovOr. land In the Yakima reservation were made the occasion for a Federal military investigation of this sect in 1884. The salmon thanksgiving, the berry festival and the ghost dances were reported upon, and seances mark td by trances and bell ringing were found. Today the Yakimas may roant at will over an area nearly as large as that of Rhode Island. The treaty by which this reservation within the bend, but not bordering the Columbia river, was set aside dates back to the fifties and Included among its signatories representatives of thirteen other remnant tribes of the Shahaptian family. Myth# Show Poetical Quality. Primitive, without a system of clans or tendency* toward agriculture, these tribes have a folk lore which often challenges the myths of Greece or Scandinavia. Where the Columbia now cascades its way through narrow defiles the Klickitats believed a natural bridge once spanned us waters, i w<> 0 sons of their gods, they explained, quarreled to possess so fair a land. The AN EASTE I" j v v . -? >- ' v ? . > G BR The efrigy of Christ on th< ; ville, Spain. This memorial, co two shot arrows to determine the land they should occupy. To one fell the region of the present-day Ynkimas and to the other the Willamette valley. To insure peace between the two peoples the chief god raised high moun tains, out so iney migni oe irwnuiv, uc throw a great stone bridge across the "Wanna" (Columbia) river. This bridge the Indians oallod "Tamahnawos," bridge of the gods. A witch woman lived on it and to her was entrusted al! the fire in the world. After intercession with the chief of the gods she won permission to build a great fire on the bridge to which both tribes might come and light their fagots. This act so pleased the chief god that he transformed the witch woman into a beautiful maiden. No sooner did the two chiefs behold her than they fell victims to her wondrous charm and set their people to battle so they might win her hand. Then the god was wrathful. He destroyed the bridge. But so the maid and her lovers might be beautiful in death as in life he created three moun I tains with snow capped peaks. He who doubts this tale may see these mountains for himself. Are they not beautiful, and are they not perpetually snowcrow.ied, as.the god, Snghalie, decreed? The white men call them Mount Hood, Mount St. Helens, and Mount Adams. *-9r* EUROPE'S ARMY PROBLEM. | All Nations Remain On War Footing In 1922. It is becoming increasingly clear that j the land disarmament problefn, so "far [ as Europe is concdrrted, now centers at | two points,-one in Turkey and the other in Russia, writes a well informed Paris correspondent. As provided by j treaties the Austrian army has been I reduced to 22,000 men, tliO Bulgarian to j 20,000 and the Tluhgarian to 35,000. Germany's disarmament Is also prdoti? 11? ?.J Iaq i.Jritr th<l t cnuntrv CUIiy tuilll)roii:u, iiaiiug only 250,000 soldiers and the militarized | police, which is probably as far as the Allies can practically go toward fore(stalling any possible ultimate German menace. Italy has ur.der arms 250,000, which it expects soon to reduce to 225,000. Jugo-Slavia, opposite Italy, has 190.000. Czeeho-Slovakia has 180,000, and plans to cut the number to 150,000. So far, so good. ,Thc gradual settling process is distinctly noticeable. In Asia Minor, however, more than 500,000 men not only are under arms, : but are engaged in active hostilities on the dreary Eskishehr lines and the re| turn of spring will perhaps witness new offensives on the part of either the Turks or the Greeks. The latter are supposed to have 300,000 men under arms. Farther north, where Rumania and Poland face Soviet Russia on vague frontiers for 1,000 kilometers (621 miles), there has been peace now for more than a year, but it is a peace troubled with deep mutual suspicion - fry 1 and reports of warlike designs, mc writer has every reason to believe that neither Poland nor Rumania has the I slightest Intention or desire to invade ' Russia. Eoth want peace and a period of tranquility in which they can devote their energies to pressing domestic problems. Both, on the other hand, fear an attack by Russia and this fear is reinforcod by stories of Soviet concentrations near the frontier. In the same way reliable observers who have Just returned from long sojourns in Russia inform this correspondent that there is no disposition whatever in Russia to attack Poland or Rumania, but the Russians fear a concerted invasion by these two countries. The result is that the Russians boast of an army of 1,400,000 men fairly well officered and equipped. Poland maintains 2,500 men under arms and Rumania twenty-three divisions. France, which plans soon to reduco her continental army from 500,000 to 440,000, fears to go below this figure lest the Russians in a successful attack on Poland should effect a junction wnn uenuuiij thus again set all of Europe in flames. It is largely for these reasons that most/Europeans now ardently desire to see a concerted effort made first to settle the Greco-Turkisli war and second to clarify the Russian situation. Despite the British political crisis, it is still said that Allied foreign ministers will convene soon for the purpose of renewing discussion on the Near Eastern question.

Foster telephone rate bill, were ipcor, rect, W. J. Thackston, vice-president of the South Carolina telephone users I association, yesterday issued a stnte' ment relative to ?the situation of the act at this time. Mr. Thackston expressed regret that this report was not official.- , Inquiry at the governor's office, he said, contradicted the statement alludI ed to and was to the effect that the I governor had set April 4th as a date for his hearing as to whether or not he would sign this bill or veto it "Those in charge of the fight can see no good reason for this hearing except i as a courtesy," said Mr. Thackston, as the governor's office is not the proper place to determine questions of rates as hi9 signature to this bill will not deprive the Southern Bell Telephone Company of recourse to commission or courJ.s as that privilege is specifically accorded to them In the bill before the governor for approval. "It will deny the people of this state the co-operation and assistance, which they have a right to expect in matters m Ka nffnt'rtfiv rrp?n - Ul nils tVUlU, ti UU1 mii eral's office. It is conclusive of those In charge of the work, that this is the main reason why they wanted the governo> to veto thiB bill. It rests with the governor entirely whether or not he will deprive the people generally of this state of this right. ' This statement is made in order that those interested will see the full purpose on the part of the Telephone Company in "their attempt to persuade the governor to veto the bill. "There are other reasons too why those in charge of the fight are appealing to the governor. "Telephone subscribers and others interested in the fight are therefore urged to assert their views and rights and to make known through letter, telegram or otherwise, to the governor. "If there are those that want additional information upon which they can base their objection to this rather unusual proceeding, they can call at the office of the local chairman, who will put them in possession of a great many facts that wilKbe useful.?Greenville News. ? FIGHT FOR MUSCLE SHOALS Henry Ford Says it is a Battle With Wall Street. Declaring that "if it's the last thing I do in this world I'll exert every resource and Influence at my command to keep the hands of Wall Street off Muscle Shoals," Henry Ford on Friday broke his silence maintained during the last two months with regard to his offer t? lease sua operate the government water power project in Alabama. Mr. Ford made the statement to the Detroit News In response to an intimaI tion reaching him to the effect that, because of his silence, the people of southern states had begun to wonder whether he had lost interest in the project. "Tell these people of the south," Mr. Ford said, "that Wall Street will have no part either in financing or operat ing Muscle Shoals ir l can neip u. xi It's the last thing I do I'll exert every resource and influence at my command to keep the hands of Wall Street off the shoals project and perpetuate It a8 a great example to the American people?a living example of what'they can do if they will safeguard the country's water power and develop It." "In Muscle Shoals lies the freedom of American industry," Mr. Ford continued. "During the war the country turned its every resource to help free the world from militarism?a militarism fostered by an international money power. Now, in the same way, we are going to fight to the last ditch to free American industry and American agriculture from that same money power.

Fertilizer People Fear It Is In Jeopardy; Just Now. Parsons, a former goverment chem-i ist, testifying before the house commit-1 tee on military affairs, says Henry Ford I will lose his last penny if he attempts; to manufacture commercial fertilizers at Muscle Shoals. In his testimony Mr. I Parsons pleads with the committee toj savo Henry from himself?that lie is about to launch upon an enterprise I that will put him into bankruptcy. We 1 do not know who called Mr. Parsons, or how he got before the committee, but if he does not represent Mr. Ford who does he represent? The only persons interested in the Muscle tfhoals project outside of Mr. Ford and the (users of nitrates is the fertilizer trust! Irimi if Mr. Parsons does not represent) Mr. Ford and the farmers lie must rep- j sent the fertilizer manufacturers. Mr. Parsons may know what he is talking about, but all the facts in the case are against him. No sooner had Mr. Ford's offer been put before congress than tho newspaper offices were flooded with literature from the head office of the allied fertilizer comjianies attempting to show that Mr. Ford would make millions out of the government if the government accepted his offer. Somebody is wrong. If what Mr. Parsons says is true the fertilizer manufacturers are! wrong. If the fertilizer manufacturers are right Mr. Parsons is wrong.

I Northwest Territory Receiving More Attention from the Government It is the intention of the department of commerce to send a party, headed \ by Assistant Secretary C. H. Huston, to ' Alaska this summer for the purpose of making a general investigation of con- : dltions in which that department is particularly interested. The Bureau of ( Fisheries, the Coast and Geodetic Sur vey, Lighthouse service and the Steamboat Inspection service are the bureaus ! of the Department of Commerce which ! are closely identified with the affairs of J the territory. It is the purpose to, determine In what ways these bureaus can be made of gTeater boileflt in deVQloping Alaska. Particular attention will be devoted 1 to the salmon fisheries of the territory, < which yield products of an average annual value of about $40,000,000 and, in normal seasons give employment to up- |( wards of 20,000. persons and represent an Investment of about $70,000,000. It will be the purpose also to observe conditions in respect to the fur-seal industry at the Prlbilof islands, which work is administered by the Department of Commerce through the Bureau of Fisheries.

In the season of 1.921 there were taken 23.G71 sealskins from the herd, which numbered*581,453 animals. The annual censuses of the herd show a satisfactory growth each year, the net increase being about 5 per cent after deducting tli03e killed. The skins'are dresgod, dyed and machined, and sold at public auction through the department's selling agents at St. Louts, and the proceeds are covered into the treasury of the United States. On the average the sealskins yield the government about $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 annually.

' STOCKS LOW IN MOSCOW Goods Hard to Get But Beauty Parlors Thrive. Russian markets writes a Moscow correspondent lack nearly every sort of manufactured article the world can afford, unless it be artificial hair, perfumes and toilet articles. The beauty parlors seem to have adequate supplies and are doing1 a thriving business. . . The man who loses a collar button in Moscow is ruined. It is a tragedy when collars and shirts wear out. The odds and ends in the shops are chiefly the sizes for very small boys and giants. ' The ne9kties are patterns which German dealers couldn't sell at home. Shopkeepers put everything attractive they have in their windows. In qulry within always demonstrates that they have 110 stock In regular sizes. Government taxes on merchants are mounting daily and the merchants pile the tax on their prices. Small notion shops on side streets in Moscow are charged 60,000,000 paper rubles a year for their licenses, which at the government rate is 600 gold rubles, or about ?300. , The news that Russia had been invited to participate in the Genoa conference came as a great relief to merchants who are having1 great difficulty in acquiring new stock. One nier chant who formerly had a great dry goods store In Moscow and is now running a * combination shop where | 1 -th old and new clothing and house- | hold effects are sold made the prediction upon hearing of the Genoa Invitation, that three months after Russia received foreign credit it will be one of the best places In the world for merchants.. .
