We frequently think, that the Indians’ only contribution to the settlement of the West was an effort to impede the process, i Actually, the Wyandot Indians, I a branch of the Huron, who I moved from Ohio to Kansas in, i 1843, were very active in pro moting the organization of Ne braska territory. The westward trek of the Wyandots was made pursuant to the government’s early 19th century policy of removing all of the Indian tribes to the region west of the Missouri. The tribe ceded its lands in Ohio to the government in 1842, and the next year bought land from the Dela wares in the fork of the Missouri and Kansas rivers. The Wyandots, last of the tribes to relinquish their lands in Ohio, brought a highly devel oped culture with them. They had a well-organized Methodist church (the result of earlier ef fort among them by Methodist missionaries), a Free Mason’s lodge, a civil government, and a code of written laws which pro vided for an elective council of chiefs, the punishment of crime and the maintenance of order. Under the leadership of William Walker, the Wyandots pressed for a treaty which would recognize them as citi zens of the United States. When they failed in their effort to secure this concession they did their best to foster the organ ization of Nebraska territory. During the winter of 1851-52 they petitioned congress to estab lish a territorial government for Nebraska. When this effort failed, they decided to elect a delegate t o the Thirty-second congress and send him back to Washington to plead their cause in person. Abelard Guthrie was | their unanimous choice, and as 1 I mentioned in an earlier column, he thus became the first dele gate to congress from Nebraska territory, if only from the pro visional territory. Guthrie’s efforts were to no more avail than the tribe’s ear lier attempts had been. Never theless the Wyandots went ahead with their plans for organizing a territorial government. On August 9, 1853, the day appointed for their national festival, the Green Corn Feast, they formed a provisional government of Ne braska territory, and elected Wil liam Walker governor. By this time the movement for organizing Nebraska was well underway in Washington and the provisional government hardly had a chance to begin function ing before it was replaced by the regularly - constituted territorial government. As finally set up, the Wyandots found themselves in Kansas rather than Nebraska —a situation which resulted from the somewhat eleventh-hour de cision to organize two territories rather than one. The Wyandot story, neverthe less, is important in the early history of Nebraska and the Wy andots played a significant role in the movement leading to ter ritorial status for that vast country between the Missouri river and the Rocky mountains . Feeder Hogs Still Under Quarantine Dr. E. P. Anderson of Lincoln, state veterinarian, said Saturday the department of agriculture will continue a tight rein on the hog quarantine situation. Between 12 thousand and 13 thousand animals which may have befen exposed to vesicular exanthema are under quarantine in Nebraska. One small lot near Omaha was quarantined Friday, but no new cases of the disease have been found in the state since the first of the month. The disease, which resembles hoof and mouth disease in cattle, has been reported in 14 states. A subcommittee of state and federal officials, of which Doctor Anderson is chairman, has urged Secretary of Agriculture Bran nan to declare an emergency and take drastic steps to wipe out the disease. Doctor Anderson said Satur day he was confident the feder al department would act on the recommendation. He returned to Nebraska Fri * day from a conference in Wash | ington.
