Dry Pastures Increase Volume
• Looks like a good sale today (Thursday). The volume has
been noticeably picking up at the O'Neill market. Some of
this marketing activity is attributed to the fact that some cattle
are being crowded out of pastures due to drouth conditions. Al
ready in the yards is a package of 53 yearlings, all carrying the
same brand. In another package are 40 head of comfed yearlings,
and there are several otheT packages of calves and yearlings. The
cattle supply was the heaviest in three months Monday at Omaha.
» « Fat cattle sold unevenly steady to 50c lower; cow values
skidded 50c to $1.
e The embargo is st^ll in effect on feeder hogs. However, fat
hogs, ready for slaughter, are still being sold. At the river
terminal markets earlier this week hogs were selling strong to
25c higher.

Indian Tribe Helps
in Promoting West
Wyandots Seek Early
Government
By JAMES C. OLSON
S,upt., State Hist. Soc.
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.

Mr. Parkins has written “about
