SOME INTERESTING FACTS

CCORDING to the
data, relative to the
Bannock Indians
obtainable at the
Indian Bureau and
the Bureau of Eth
nology, the tribe
now on the war
path is not. numer
ous. In the latest
report of the Com
missioner of. In
dian. Affairs it is stated that the Ban-
nocks number 441 persons, 219 males
and 222 females. Their reservation is
at Fort Hall, in the southern part of ,
Idaho. At the Bureau of Ethnology.
Washington, some interesting facts
...
about the habits and characteristics of
the Bannocks were given to the writer
by Prof. V. J. McGee and Prof. Albert
S. Gatschet. wti have had considerable
experience with this particular tribe.
Prof- McGee also produced some photo- J
graphs taken by re-presentatives of the i
bureau, copies of which he kindly tur- ,
nished for this article. '
The Bannocks are what is known as t
a hunting tribe- They do not take
kindly to agricultural or industrial pur
suits. They depend largely upon the t
national Government for their support, j
anu co not uitii. iii, (jaiu.u - i
sire -for a higher order of civilization. (
In the Indian language the word Ban- j
nock-is " Pan-a-i-ti." It means soutn
era People." They have seldom sent
representatives to Washington; indeed,
the Indian officials do not recall a visit
to the Great Father from this tribe.
They are tall, athletic-looking people
great hunters, and are intelligent as a
rule. They speak the common "Snake
language familar to the tribes of the
Shoshone family. '
They are not a progressive tribe, nor
do they multiply. On the contrary, the
records show that they are fast be
:otning extinct. They are good Szht
ers. -expert horsemen, and adepts in
handling the rifle. When not engaged
in- hunting they depend largely upon
the supplies they obtain from the
agency at Fort Hall. In the present
case it supposed that they wandered ofi.
their reservation in the direction of the
National Park in the Yellowstone, in
search of game straying" away from the
park. They are hardy and apparently
are well fed. and there is little sick
ness among them. The men andwom
an in general present the healthful ap
pearance characteristic of those tribes
that live away from the seacoast.
There appear to have been originally
two geographically distinct bands or
divisions of the Bannocks, and to this
fact, which has not been understood
generally, is. due much of the confusion
that has existed regarding them. The
main home of the Bannocks appears to
have been in southeastern Idaho,
whence they ranged into western
Wyoming. The country actually
claimed by the chief of the southern
bands in treaty lay between- latitudes 42
and 45 degrees and between the 113th
meridian and the main chain of the
Rocky- Mountains. Their country thus
separated the homes of the Wlhinasht
Shoshoni of western Idaho and the
Washaki Shoshoni of western Wyom
ing. They were found in this
region in 1853. aad the " claimed

Some of the sontlfeastem. Bannocks, to-
the number of 500 or 600. were placed
upon the Wind reservation, western
Wyoming, which was established in
1S69. They now appear to be classed
officially as ShoshonL Fort Hall reser

them soon wandered away, however,
and as late as 1S74 an appropriation
was made to enable the Bannocks and

The largest -freight wagons in the
world are now. it is asserted, made in
San Leandro. CaL. for steam freight
ing in connection with traction engines
the capacity of these wagons being six
teen tons each and with sufficient wheel
surface to 'sustain- that amount with
out injury to the roads. The dimensions-
and details show the size of axles
to be four inches in din meter, front
wheels four feet ten inches high and
sixteen inches width of tire, rear wheels
six fee: high and tires sixteen inches
w:ce: length of bed nineteen and a
half feet, width four and a half feet.
and six feet high. These afe made
wholly of iron and steel, except the
bed. which is of weed. The front
wheels track somewhat wider than the
rear ones, due to the fact that the con
tinual hauling over the road, and the
wagons always running in the same
tracks, naturally cuts down the road
into ruts to a certain extent, rendering
it uneven. To overcome this the engine
wheels are twenty-six inches wide "and
the front wheels of the wagons so de
signed that the tire tracks will lap one
half the width of- the engine wheels on
the inside.

NO WILD HORSES.
An Are Said to Be Dinnir of
Once D w t toted.
Is there such a thing as the wild
hcrse, an aboriginal op truly wild horse.
in the world now? The answer is more
than doubtful. The mustang of Mext-
co, the wild horse of the South Amen-
can. pampas, the brumbi of Australia,
all are descendants of the domesticated
animals introduced: trom Europe. The
first horse was landed in America at
Buenos Ayres in 1537. In 15S0 that is,
in less than fifty years horses had
spread to regions as remote as Pata
gonia. In Australia the diffusion of
horses that have escaped from civiliza
tion has been quite as-rapid, and in ls.-
xt was found necessary- to snoot as man J
as 7.0W wild horses in the colony of
New South Wales alone, msomct

a large one. and Beresford conducts It
in his convict garb. "He is also allowed
some privileges in regard to his drss.

.E. Turke, the head-chemist of a sugai

been making some experiments -which
have resulted-in- the completion of the '
oddest pavement ever laid. It is .made
mostly of molasses, the kind used hav--ing
been a refuse "product -hitherto be
lieved to be utterly worthless. It Is
simply mixed with a- certain kind of
sand to about the- consistency of as
phalt, and laid like asphalt pavement.
The composition dries quickly, and be
comes permanently hard.. The -heat of
the sun. instead of softening it. makes
the pavement harder and drier. " Ai"
block of the composition successfully,
withstood repeated blows of "a machine
hammer and showed no signs ' of
cracking or bending. Should the pave
ment prove to be ail that is claimed the
sugar planters of the south may find
a profitable market .for the millions of

are said to have on hand..
