Coyote was one of the West's free lance ' Indian lovers many, many moons ago. His vanity for onquests among the fair sex of another tribe led him to wander jfrom Jils native Flathead country nd he rode his -pony aeross.the f Rocky Mountain ostensibly to pay ' a friendly visit among the Black j feet who were camped In the Two ' Medicine Valley, just north of what today is Glacier Park Station srootana.;":;'?:r7-;-:. ;; Coyote quickly fell In love with I a beautiful Blaekfoot maiden I and they were hurriedly married; I hut with ceremonial splendor. I During the honeymoon conscience spoke to Coyote reminding him that he had a wife back home, that it was against the Flathead ' custom to wed out r6f "his 'own I tribe and, ' furthermore, that" it was in violation of 1 the Jesuit Fathers of the St. Ignatius Mission I for him to have more than one j wife. " In that glorlus springtime the j Blackfeet. Indians were gayly rid I ing over the "green plains of the Two Medicine valley shooting bur falo that were grazing , on their summer ranges, drying meat and curing hides. White-haired but, i . MlAHfnl . anil i raivesi were . .... vicuutui. . ,Vtaany of these calves were taken -. ,ia the chase. in the midst of Coyote's dilem- a, the chagrined Mrs. Coyote 2 conceived what she though to be a bright idea. She proposed that her people capture some calves fot' her beloved Coyote to take back to the Flathead mission as a peace offering to the Fathers. Coyote chimed in with ' the Infor mation that " around - the misBion the grazing was fine and that the beasts would multiply into a big herd. The plan1 Of 'peace bribery was carried out. The task of convoy ing these three wild buffalo calves across the Rocky Mountains was an arduous one. ? But, their future happiness was at state and Coyote nd hia brfde jperservered like true J lovers. Weary and travei-wou the couple arrived at the Flathead reservation with the. three white haired' buffalo calves which they believed would banish all r esent taent to the forbidden marriage. But, alas! A squad of Indian police taiet Coyote who Was thrash er lorrsucn an audacious home coming. Coyote, thus disgraced, took to thel wilds with his sweetie and three calves. "They built them logi cabin on the secluded shores! of Flathead Lake, enjoyed their; connubial bliss and soon had a nera or t buffalo, probably the first pjrlvate herd of domesticated bison any American Indian ever owned! ,:. j ( . , ; Joseph Allard, a rich rancher; coveted Coyote's herd and the In dian parted with it, ; receiving a large Sum jof money.; The ' grass $f thel Flathead Valley was flue and plentiful and Allard's herd rapidljf increased. Michael Pablo, another wealthy rancher, later 'purchased the herd from the .Al lard htirs and finally sold his en tire holdings of '700 headof Tufi falo toe, the; Canadian government. Tod4y, only a few of the j older generation of iBlackfeet Indians remember how this affinity affair of a Wild i Blaekfoot - girl and a tame Coyote from the Flathead founded the mightiest of remain ing show buffalo herds of which all Canada now boasts.

The burden, there fore, should be equitably distrib uted. The initial heavy construc tion i and; heavy ' reconstruction costs are caused In the main by the users of heavy motor equipment. Many of our roads win have1 -to be rebuilt and be constructed in, a manner to withstand this equip ment. In our "opinion, this bill does not levy a confiscatory fee, but does attempt in a manner to distribute the burden equitably among those who use the highways." iUETTEIILL iraoswjTS This Will be as Soon as the " Capacity of the School ; Will Accommodate Dr. G.

His work car ries him into all parts of the state. and he reports the growing-popu larity of the college. Many par ents are planning on moving to Salem to educate their children. One hundred and forty of the high school principals and teachers of Oregon are graduates of Willam ette. ; They give such satisfaction that their pupils naturally are in clined to come to Salem for their higher education; There will be a thousand students, " says Dr. Tufts, as soon as the capacity of the school is correspondingly enlarged.

This com pletely upsets ! all our theories regarding the antiquity of man." E.i lu j Doheny,' sponsor of the expedition, visited the HavaiSupal Canyon as a young prospector in 1879. . His party comprised the first known body of white men to invade the canyon and one of their number was killed in the attempt, the report points out. Mr. Hubbard made three previous visits to, the region .which yielded the specimens. i .. The 'scientific party, composed of, five persons, made its way into the unsurveyed region of high waterfalls located in a valley; 3,1 9 5 feet . abpve sea . level, north of Williams, Arizona, , in the area of the Grand Canyon. The section is inhabited by 183 Indians on the Supat reservation. ' Mr.j Hub bard was accompanied on his ex pedition .by Charles W: Gilmore," curator of vertebrate paleontology of the United States National Museum. - Mr. Gilmore did ' not agree in ' all particulars with - the general E conclusions of the party. . Mr. .Gilmore, however, ; the -report points out,,' Identified , din osaur tracks . located 1Q0 j miles from the valley of . the ancient figures. The dinosaur tracks were in the area known as the "Painted Desert.! . Photographs of the din osaur tracks, according' to the re port, show the print of the dln osaWtairrasit - dipped between thej foot ' prints and - formed a balanicng point tor the lumbering giant of antiquity. . 'j -Referring to 'the photograph taken of the dinosaur figure chis eled into the red sandstone sides of the walls of the isolated valley Mr. Hubbard concludes that "either man goes back In geologic time to the Triassie period, which is millions of years beyond any thing yet admitted, or else there were 'left over' dinosaurs which came down into the age of j ma mala." " Turning to conjecture on the creative ability of the prehistoric man who comes out of the find in ea of the expedition, the report says "he made and used tools' and bad an eye for form and a ense of proportion. He left the Ume urge to create which animates civilized man. In the face of this evidence the ape man, if there ever was such a creature, is buri ed still deeper in the overwhelm ing ages of time." i On the same stone wall iwith the dinosaur figures the explorers photographed the 1 outline ' of an elephant attacking a man. "The elephant," says the report, "is striking the man on the top of the head with its trunk." A wavy line in the figure, which la ' in; the center of an unexplained group, "represents water into which ' the man has retreated up - to j his knees." .: j ' - In three separated places in the canyon the explorers found! and photographed chiseled figures of ibex on the walls. One group, snowing "a . male and two fem ales," was found immediately under tlje elephant picture,! the report asserts. ' i , "The interesting . thing about this is that no ibex, not even fossil ones, have ever, been found in America," the report - adds. "These drawings would seem to indicate that they must have been a common animal 'in the Grand Canyon. Andrews, who' has hunted ibex in the Gobi desert' In Mon golia, pronounced these to be ibex for; the reason that the character istic knobs ' on ' the front ; of, the horns are faithfully represented in carving." 4 ' '' OUGHS Apply over throat and chest mHow Small pics of ' .
