INDIANS HAVE A GRIEVANCE.
J Jtepi-nesiye Mecurt Said toHavp

Washington- 'very serkms-oreach
has arisen between' the TJte Indians at
Thunder Butte Station, 8. D.. and their
agent'M&r' Downs, and there 'Is
danger of a hostile collMon at any fno
nenCaccil-JInrie the report Cap

ports that the Indians ami the agent

sage, .dated Friday, appeals to, the
authorities- for support, and cause
Major. Downs jto,. abate, harsh treat
ment of the Indians., ,. ,,
The report says that the tadiannpb
jected to sending their children .to a
distant boarding school; also' that the
agent cut the rations in half; that In
dian wish to live in peace, but that
Downs claims they refuse to comply
with his orders. Captain Johnson
says the Utes are hungry and -suffering
and believes they have been un
justly treated.
He says they asked him to act as
arbitrator, and they would accept the
result
"The agent," Captain Johnson says,
"put a vote to the head men to this
effect: Would they obey hli In the
school matter and in 'all the .regula
tions. They replied they wished to
see Captain Johnson. This appears
to have Incensed the agent, who re
quired them to' east their 'votes at
once. Thin council voted 'No "and
then followed the excitement', which
caused the "call for volunteers and
troops to be sent tothe Ute camp to
compel them to comply with the
agent's commands.
- "I told" the Utes that I should ex
pect ..them to retract their vote Friday
morning. They informed me that they
would gladly obey-the-agent In all
matters of regulations. I presented
this decision, to Major Downs, who re
fused .to consider .their promise. Harsh
and .severe .remedies are tovbe ap
plied. ' Qne hundred pounds,. of .flour
and a Utile patience is a; more potent
factor, in .the' solution of,ttherproblem
than1 the soldiers." -
Commissioners Leupp of the Bureau
of Indian affairs, accepts Captain
Johnson's report as a reflection on
that bureau;. citing' the-f act-that the"?
disaffected..Utes,liave"refased 'two of
fers' of work ?fdr railroad companies,
one -or wnicn.-con templates paying
them,,-$2 per dky for' labor,- only fif
teen miles "from" their .present home:
' He said: ,, "Johnson " proceeus on
the 'theory that-the way to handle the
troublesome Indians is to se them, off
and feed .-them. That isjnot the In
dian office theory. This office believes
in 'applying the same rule to the In
dians ..that is applied 'to poor' and
ignorant men of any race. We believe
in finding work, for them and'then.per-mittlng-them.too
hungry4f;they will
not accept the opportunity of r making
a living.-. These Indians contemntn-
ously refuse to work, saying that the,
government would take care, ofthem.
I am perfecUy willing to stand respon
sible for ., all the advice I have given
in the matter, which, has been that
wet should treat the Indians 'kindly,
but insist that they shall cease' to be
paupers when there is work at which
they can earn 'good wages practically

THE DAY FOR THAKKS

. .. TIME TO OBSERVE. , ,
J
MTtON IS GREATLY BLESSED
A
Great .Things Have Been Given tho
- ' People and Great Service Am Re-
' 'quired ef Them. - ''
. Washington President Roosevelt
hasisued his Thanksgiving proclama
tion, through the secretary of state,
naming the last Thursday in Novem
ber, the 28th.
The proclamation follows:
Once again the season of the year
has come when in accordance with the
custom of our forefathers for genera
tions past, the president appoints a
day as the especial occasion for all pur
people to giveipraise and thanksgiv
ing to God.
Duringthe last year we have been
free from famine, from pestilence,
from war; we are at peace with alt
the rest of mankind. Our natural
resources are at least as great as those
of any other nation.
We believe that in ability to develop
and take advantage ef these resources
we are at least as great as those of
other nations. We believe that in
ability to develop and take advantage
of these resources the average man of
.this nation stands at least as high as
the average" man of any other. No
where else In the world Is there such
opportunity for a'' free people to de
velop to the fullest extent all its pow
ers of body, of mind, and of that which
stands above both body and mind
.character.. Much has been given' to
us from On High, and much will be
rightly expected of us in return. Into
our care the ten talents have been en
trusted; and we are to be pardoned
neither if we squander and waste
them, nor yet if we hide them 'in a
napkin, for they must- be fruitful in
our hands. Ever throughout the ages,
-at.all times; .and. among all, peoples,
prosperity has been fraugn,with dan
ger, and.it benooves'us'' to beseech the
Giver of all things that we may not
fall, into love of case and of luxury;
that we may not lose sense of moral
responsibility; that we may not for
get our duty to God and' to our neigh
bor. ' -,
A, great democracy like ours, a 'de
mocracy based upon -the principles ot
orderly liberty, can be perpetuated
only if in the heart-of the ordinary cit
izen there dwells a keen sense of right,
eousness and justice. We should
earnestly pray that this spirit of right
eousness and justice may grow ever
greater in the hearts of all cf us; and
'that our souls may be. inclined ever
more both towards the virtues that
tell for gentleness, and for loving
kindness' and forbearance one with
-another, 'and' toward those no less
necessary virtues that make for man
liness and rugged hardihood for
without these qualities neither nation
nor individual can rise to the level of
grentness.
Now, therefore, I, Theodore' Roose
velt, president cf the United States,
do set apart Thursday, fe twenty-,
eighth day of November, as a day .of
general thanksgiving and prayer, and
on that .day I recommend that the peo
ple shall cease from their daily worlc,
and in their homes or in their
churches, meet devoutly to thank the
f Almighty for the many and great
blessings they have received in the
past,' and to pray that they may be
given the strength so to order their
lives to "deserve a continuation' or
these blessings in the future.

CONTRACTS' REFUSED BECAUSE
PF HEAVY BUSINESS.
Buffalo Elevators.. Are Full, and There
is Increased Fries on Traffic
by the Ocean.
New York Following the recent
protests of -western grain shippers
that it is Impossible for them to get
the trunk, line railroads to move con
signments of "grain from Buffalo to
New York, and that in. refusing to en
ter into contract for these export
shipments the -railroads -were greatly
hindering the grain export trade, it is
learned that the New York Central,
the Lackawanna and the Erie have
temporarily 'discontinued the making
of contracts on grain shipments.
The officers of the roads say 'that
the' cutting off of 'contracts on future
shipments was due to the purely phys
ical condition of car shortage.
Francis Labau, first traffic manager
of the New York Central, said:
"We stopped making contracts on
future shipments 'about ten days ago
and will not start up again "until we
are able to see our way clear out of
the job of delivering the grain thai
"we have at Buffalo already under
contract. I imagine, however, that
within a couple of 'weeks all the roads
will have the situation cleared' up a
bit, and be able to make new cou-
. tracts.
"We have at Buffalo at the present
time some4,000,000 bushels of grain
awaiting shipment. This mass of grain
represents the capacity of somo 3,000
cars. It would be 'absolutely impos
sible for us to handle this grain at
once and pile up more orders on our
hands without sacrificing our inter
mediary trade. We cannot take all
of these cars and ship them to BuM
falo for this grain and let our way
traffic suffer. We havd to divide the
thing up as equitably as possible."
The Lackawanna temporarily dis
continued -future contracts about the
same time that the New York Central
did, and" the Erie had taken the same
-action a few days previous. It is
believed that they will be able to re
lieve the copgestion and resume the
acceptance of contracts.
Ocean freight rates to Europe are
up 10 to 20 per cent and they art
likely to be higher before they reach
their former low level, but there is no
fear of a scarcity of room in spite
of the increased exports to which the

SEGRETART TAFT GETS ORDERS
BY REASON OF WHICH HE WILL
. SOON LEAVE MANILA.
Gees to Berlin, Where It to Said Im
portent Business is to Be
Attended To. '
Manila As a result of voluminous
cable correspondence between Presi
dent Roosevelt -and Secretary Taft it
is understood that the latter win
leave Manila on November 2 in order
to reach Berlin at the earliest possi
ble moment.
It Is impossible' to communicate
with the secretary at present and the
officials are silent' regarding the
change in? his plans.
It is understood, however, that he
will leave here on the flagship"Rain-t
bow. Rear Admiral Hemphill received
a cablegram on Monday asking
whether -or not he could make the
cruiser ready to sail on Sunday. He
responded in the affirmative .and was
informed unofficially tat a matter of
utmost importance is pending in Ger
many, and Secretary Taft's presence
there' is necessary immediately.
The hasty departure of Secretary
Taft1 will cut short his stay In the
Philippines one week. He originally
intended to leave 'on Sunday, but re-1
cently changed his plans so as to per
mit of a longer stay so as to clear up
important business.
The summons he has received from
President Roosevelt will shorten the
program made for his entertainment
in Manila. He and his party are due
from Baguio tomorrow evening, when
he is expected to attend a banquet in
his honor given by the American resi
dents of the city.
Washington President Roosevelt
declined to discuss 'the .'reported
change In the plans of Secretary Taft,
and it was stated in other official quar
ters that nothing was knuown on the
subject State department officials
said that Secretary" Taft's visit at Ber
lin would be purely social, .and that
there was no unusual situation there
to cause the hastening of Secretary
Taft on his journey from the Phil
ippines. It is possible, it is pointed
out, that the German emperor has
changed his plans, so as to be In Ber
lin at the time. Mr. Taft origina..y
expected to be there, but no advice
to ths effect has reached here.

Coal Trade Becomes Active.
Reading, P. The coal trade on the
Reading railroad has never been more
active than-at the present time. The
collieries are all In operation and the
output of the combined operations of
Reading alone during the last week
have been larger than ever. Nearly
peo-Uwo thousand cars of anthracite were
sent to market each working day last
week. A feature In the handling of
this enormous trade is the fact that
the 'men are no longer required to
