The great herd of buffalo
which t ne Canadian government
today is preserving In a state of
emi-domesticity was ; founded ; In
1S70 as the result of a romantic
Indian love affair of a young Flat
neaa omve namea coyote with a
Blaekfoot Indian girl, according
to the present-day story that is
told by. the older Indiana of the
Glacier National Park reservation,
from the fertile plains of which
this herd originated.
. 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.

At a recent meeting, the Oregon
state highway commission passed
the following resolution : J 1 1 i
"Resolved, That' the state !hlgh
way commission desires to declare,
its heajrty approval of the attitude
of theistate association of county
judges and commissioners in , its
recent declaration against the pro
posed leferendum on the so-called
lus and truck' bill recently passed
by the! legislature. s - -
'The highway , system of , Ore
gon is not constructed and main
tained by general taxation, nut by
fees in the form of license ana gas
tax paid by individual motorists
of the state. . . 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."

Weird : prehlatoric figures, chisel
ed Into the red sandstone of the
- . - - J - J : .
deeper recesses of the HavaiSupal
Canyon, an unsurveyed region j in
northern Arizona, and the object
of a scientific expedition las! year,
reveal man in existence during the
dinosaur age, in the opinion of
Samuel ' Hubbard, curator of ar
chaeology of. the Oakland Museum
who acter as director of the party.
: Deductions of Mr. .Hubbard
were made public today !in ; a
brochure entitled "The, Doheny
Scientific ; Expedition:" Photo
graphs taken from the engraved
figures on the canyon walls lead
Mr. Hubbard to the conclusion
''that some prehistoric man j made
a pictograph of a dinosaur on the
walls of this canyon. 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 ' ''

CAUSE- AND EFFECT
I The Highway ComJnission finds 90 per cent of the damage
i i3 caused by four per cent bf the traffic. Thb four per cent
includes, for-hire trucks and busses operating as common
? carriers for their private gain. ' ?
i The last LegisTatuxe'passed a law requiring these for hire busses and trucks io pay a moderate charge to re-
i imburse the State and Counties in part only for the damage these heavy busses and trucks are doing. to the
I highway. sV(helher this law becomes effective May 28, 025, rests with the people. -
S The Motor BusandTreight Truck Aviations "are circulating referendum peUtibns to hold up this law unia
I November, 1923. If the people sign these referendum petitions, the private car owners hnd the general tax-
DaverVOr continue to pay the tremendous cost of main tabir.g these highways without receiving substantial
help or aid from these for-hire trucks and busses that are doing most of the damage.
I Vhen you are asSed to sign one of "these petitions remember; tnat it is s a commercial bus or truck company
j that is faking yon to relieve them of paying for the great damage that they are doing to our roads.
