MORNING ENTERPRISE
AIDS OLD POTATOES
The strength of the new potato mar
ket in the south, which forces the is
sue, is a big aid to the old potato
trade all along the coast.
Old crop now shows one of the best
movements of the season, to date, and
the price is being held at $1.25 to $1.
50 per cental in a jobbing way. Both
values are ruling for similar quality.
, Country is offering sparingly of old
potatoes and this, too, is helping val
ues at this time. Seeding operations
are again shown in the south as well
as at home and this is taking more
potatoes than first believed.
Although there is seemingly a very
firm trend to the potato trade at this
time, speculators are keeping their
hands off as much as possible and pur
chases are of a hand to mouth char
acter. Almost all speculators on the
coast got their fingers burned on the
early speculative movement and it
will take some of them a year or two
to recover.

day In Easter week, and on that day
William Foiley, potmaker of the mint
fell asleep, and he continued sleeping,
and he could not be wakened with
pinching, cramping or burning what
soever until the first day of the term,
which was fourteen days and fifteen
nights after his sleep . began. . The
causes of this extraordinary sleep
could not be known, although the same
were diligently searched for after by
the king's physician and many other
learned men. He lived for forty years
after he recovered." .

OLDEST INDIAN TO
BE HERE WITH SHOW
Probably the oldest Indian in this
country is Chief Lone Bear a Sioux
who this year is with the 101 Ranch
Real Wild West Show and who will be
here with the show on June 7. Lone
Bear is a character and well known
to all who have had anything to do
with Indian affairs during the past
half century. The Indians have no re
liable way of keeping track . of their
exact age but as near as can be fig
ured from historical events in his life
Chief Lone Bear has left the one hun
dred years mile stonefar behind him.
He Is intelligent beyond his race and
a beautiful way of telling stories of
his experiences. Recently when a gen
tlmen who had been talking to him re
marked "well the Indians are much
better fed since they have surrender
ed than they were when running at
large" the old Chief looked at film for
a minute and replied:
"You are far from being correct.
The Indian never was so well fed" as
when he was as the good God intend
ed he should be roaming on the prai
rie. Before the coming of the white
man the Indian famished his table
with pumpkins, corn, beans and water
meon, all of which were raised by his
patient squaw. Milkweed took the
place of asparagus and after the pod
came and the cotton formed a boiled
dish was concocted. Then there were
wild strawberries, -wild onions' and
buffalo berries. The acorn of the red
oak after being soaked in wood ash
lye to extract the tannin was boiled
and formed a substantial tidbit We
had more meat, fish and game then
and what we had was just what was
intended for us and we thrived not
perished as we have done on the food
of the white man who neither knows
food nor how to cook it. All of the
-white man's food is killed in taste by
the stuff he puts in it and it all tastes
alike. We had more and better food
when we were in our natural way of
living than we have ever thought of
having since." : ..
Lone Bear is emphatic in his dec
laration that had he been 'forced to
eat the white man's food from Infancy
that he would never have lived to the
age he now enjoys.
