ANNUAL QINNBR OF ORDER OF
, INDIAN WARS 18 HELD IN
| WASHINGTON.
i
BEN. MILES AT HEAD TABLE
•y EDWARD B. CLARK
Wasbinrton—A few nights ago in
Washington there was held the annual
meeting of the Order of Indian Wars.
Your correspondent was a guest, not
btciUM he ever h*4 fought Indlin^
but because he was present throughout
one grtet campaign in the capacity of
* writer for the press. He cannot be
taken into full fellowship with the or¬
ganization, but he feels a fellowship
with the members, nevertheless.
Veterans of the Indian wars rapidly
are passing from the scene. At the
head table on the night of the recent
meeting aat the man who generally
la acknowledged to have been tbe
greatest Indian fighter of them all—
Lieut. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, United
States Army, retired.
The commander of tbe organization
is Brig. Gen. Edward A. McClernand,
aged seventy-six, an Indian fighter
with a rare record. General Miles sat,
on the right of thd presiding officer,
while on his left aat Brig. (Sen. Ed¬
ward 8. Godfrey who bears the wounds
of a hand-to-hand conflict with the In¬
diana, and who as a member of tbe
Seventh cavalry, fought on the plains
from close of ttm-Civil war until
the last great Sioux conflict was qnded
ln January, 1891. ^
It is perhaps a somewhat remark¬
able fact that each of the three offi¬
cer* named lipids a medal of honor for
conspicuous personal gallantry, tor a
deed done which was over and .above
the call of duty. As it has been put
many times, each of these men to save
the Uvea of his comrades “took the one
chance in a mHUon and came through
alive.” < I
Tales of Suffering and Heroism.
The great war Is ended. It has Its
reeorjd of tremendous heroism and de
vofioB to duty; it has Its tales of suf¬
fering and .of self-denlul In behalf of
others; but it is doubtful if ln its en¬
tire history' it holds the records of such
privations as the i ftef f who sat about
the table the other night endured for
the sake of country, knowing that their
deeds and their sacrifices would get
recognition from their feilow country¬
men.
It is an elder day how, but the tale
of a campaign of suffering in the year
1871 in Montana which was carried
Through by 500 men ln the uniform of
the United States, seemed like a pres¬
ent day happening as Us details in part
were given by General McClernand,
vVho was an active participant in the
field operations at that time.
One thinks of the old days on the
plains, of course, as having their in
„ tense Interest, but one does not al¬
ways realize Just what men suffered
now and again while lit pursuit of the
duty of protecting the frontier settle¬
ments from raiding Indians.
In the winter of 1871 when General
Mcdernand was a lieutenant of the
Second cavalry, a command of 500
men-started across Montana ln the di¬
rection of Fort Ellis. A blizzard over¬
took them, the thermometer dropped-
38 degrees below zero, while the wind
rose to a howling pitch and the sting¬
ing snow like sand came bltndlingly
into the faces of man and beast. In
that terrible storm with Its perishing
cold, the command became lost while it
was trying to make the shelter of some
cottonwoods with a fringe of close
growing willows at the outskirts of the
grove.
Near Death in,a Blizzard.
In the storm they could see nothing.
They discovered after five hours of
effort and poignant suffering that they
had been traveling in a circle. Men
overcome by the elements, lulled into
the somnolence which precedes freez¬
ing, begged to be allowed to lie down
to sleep—which meant to die. More
than half the members of the command
had their extremities frozen. Yet a
few managed to keep their brains nor¬
mal and their bodies above the point
of herded physical .surrender. They fairly
the others and kept them In
line.
The command finally, by the sheer¬
est acident, found the poor shelter of
the cottonwoods and the willows.
There* the few who were able to work
made fires, cared for the suffering und
the near dying, and for three days
fought the elements and death.
The survivors of the Indian wars are
becoming fewer in numbers year by
year. Many of the soldier comman¬
ders have gone with the old Indian
i chiefs Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, Gall,
Chief Joseph and the others to the
plains beyond. The desire ls to per¬
petuate the Orijer of the Indian Wars
through the descendants of its mem¬
bers. An attempt to do this is being
made. General Miles is eighty-seven
years old. General Godfrey ls eighty,
and General McClernand ls seventy
six ; there *re others even older. The
society wants to live through Its chil¬
dren and to transmit the personally
Jold stories of the day when the white
' man met the red man on the plains of
the great West.
Laughter.
Strange, bat It's true.
Wherever you tare.
Whenever man laughs.
He’s forgotten his cariv
Once get him to laugh
At a ■word or a ieet,
And just for that moment

• with more meat, Improved flavor and
prettier shells.
Tbe 10,000 “synthetic’’ oysters were
made ready (or planting by a process
developed since 1920 by the state con¬
servation commission. This process is
many million times as efficient as
nature’s method of breeding oysters.
A female oyster, the moat prolific of
all living things, lays from ten to a
hundred million eggs ln a season. Only
about one in a million of these is fer¬
tilized and only about one in~a hun¬
dred million grows up to be an oyster.
The artificial method fertilizes nearly
90 per cent of the eggs and promises to
.enable a large -proportion of them to
grow to raaturlty. ^
Many Oyster Beds Barren.
The system of making a million eggs
grow wbefe only one grew before was
developed by tbe state conservation
commission to meet a desperate situa
tloa In the oyster industry. cultifflfed Since 1910
thevproductlon of oyster
beds has been cut ln half. Oysters
<h*ave been harvested faster than they
could breed naturally. Thousands of
acres of oyster beds have been ren
dered barren. F&r example, the rev
enue of Rhode Island from taxing oys
ter beds has been cut from $135,000 to
$12,000 a year. i
The now fully developed process of
growing them artificially promises to,
correct all this, to restock the barren
acreage, to produce all the seed bys
ters that are needed and to grow
hardier and better strains of oysters,
“Ia 1919 when the commission first
considered thh plan of growing oyster's
artificially from the egg the Idea was
ridiculed,” said William Firth Wells,
biologist of the state conservation cegn
mission, who has been rearing the
“synthetic” oysters in a small room in
one of the towers , > of the bridge at
Bayvllle. llk'e
“It was something proposing
perpetual motion machines • to phy¬
sicists. Every kind of effort had been
made to raisn oysters from the egg and
they all failed. It was proved by Pro¬
fessor Brooks of Johns Hopkins ^n
1879 that the oyster eggs could be im¬
pregnated or fertilized artificially and
made to go through the first stage of
their development. But the oyster egg
is a thing only one four-hundredth
part of an Inch in diameter and It is
not much larger ln its efefthryonic stage.
Water Cleansed in Separator.
“It is so srnalj that the physical
problem of changing the water so as to
give the growing oysters clean water
and a fresh food supply proved Insu¬
perable. The use of filters proved Im¬
possible. Anything coarse enough to
filter out the Impurities filtered out the
oysters as well. Anything fine enough
to filter out , the impurities clogged
every time. ?
“This deadlock continued until 1920.
The thing that broke it was the use of
a centrifugallzing machine like a cream
separator. When the water was be¬
ginning to become stale, it was. put in
the separator,. It was feared that the
machine whirling at 7,000 revolutions a
minute would crush the minute or
ganisms. This was not the case. They
stuck to the walls of the separator.
When thff stal^water was completely
eliminated the future oysters , werq
rinsed out Into clean water. Every
two days tills “centrlfugnlizlng process
was repeated for two weeks: By that
time the larvae had grown thin, trans¬
parent silvery shells and were large
enough so that fresh water gould be
introduced and the impurities filtered
out without their escaping.
nr This process has been developing
and Improving up to the present and
the hatch of young oysters we have
Just planted Is the first large setting we
have reared artificially. Next year
they will be served on the halfshell
to . oyster planters In different parts
of the coast. They will be small oys¬
ters, for It takes four 4 or five years for
them to attain maturity, but they will
show what can be /lone artificially.”
The discovery of artificial breeding
methods may be a greater benefit to
Europe than It Is to this country.
Oysters have been caught faster than
they bred practically everywhere in Eu¬
rope, and have become a luxury. Oys¬
ters are the greatest American sen
crop, and the annual harvest here is
more than four-fifths of the world’s
annual harvest.

HURT 1UMBERING IN BRAZIL
-—
Lick of Capital, Excessive •Taxes and
Poor Business Methods Hamper In¬
dustry, U. S. Observer Reports.
The iatnber industry, of the -Amazon
at present is coping with many diffi
culties, of which the following are
most in evidence, according to a report
recently made for the Brazilian depart*
ment of agriculture, industry and coin
merce: In.nifflpiqncy of capital, lack of
knowledge and correct business meth
ods,‘ and excessive export taxes, says
Assistant Trade Commissioner M. A.
1 Cneiner. Every one Is suffering'from
the tack of capital. The lumber mer
chants have been particularly affect
i?d by the situation and a number of
them have failed. Money sate* are'
high, some banks obtaining as ,high as
i* per cent a month. Thlg retards the
establishment of mills, acquisition of
boats and land and exportation In gen
eral.
The lack of knowledge of correct
business methods Is evidenced by the
fact that kimbe^ merchants look only
for an immedlate^pnbflt, failing fo take
the future into conaideration. It will
be necessary to place propferfr graded
lumber on the market, and not con
tlnue marketing in the primitive man
ner pursued at present, says Mr. Cre
mer.
For the last five years the export
takes on lumber have been Increasing,
so that it is getting to be the most
taxed product of the State of Para,
This fact makes the business of eg
porting very unprofitable -and lnse
cure for investment. At present the
port tax on lumber at Para Is very
high, due to the fact that it is a bulky
article and its value Is ^mall in pro
portjon to its weight. At the time
tbe classification of taxes on exports
was made, very little lumber was ex
Ported and therefore it was Included
in the general classification.
Necessary minor Improvements wor
thy of consideration are, according to
the report : Sanitary regulations and
better living condltionseshould be’en
forced in the lumbering districts; the
wei^Jff of the various kinds of woods
should be officially established, and a
complete study should be made of
their- strength ; samples of the most
important woods should be placed In
ail Brazilian consulates so that these
woods may become known abroad and
misstatements prevented regarding
their origin when re-exported; freight
rates should be reduced, and small
state custom houses to collect export
taxes should be placed’in two or three
places In the state,
His Qualifications.
One Job Wilson, the colored appli¬
cant for the position of butler in a
family living in one of tbe fashion¬
able suburbs of Washington, strode in
to Impress his would-be employer with
his entire fitness for tbe place.
“Oh, yes, suh,” he said. 'Ts shoreiy
well educated, suh. I’se pussed a civil
service examination.”
“Indeed,” responded the gentleman,
“that is very fine, I’m sure, but I can’t
say that that will be of any particular
value to m,e in a butter. >>
“No?” said the surprised applicant.
“It shore is strange how gemmen’s
tastes do differ. Now, Mr. ark,”
naming his former employer, ‘die say,
‘Job, one thing I demand ls civil serv¬
ice to my guests,’ an’ he done gave me
an examination right there, suh, an’
that’s the truth,” /
Then the gentleman saw a great
light. He replied: ‘‘Jfes, you are quite
right, Job. Civil service is a very im¬
portant and rather unusual virtue, so
if you have passed that examination I
think we’ll consider you engaged.”—

First to Suggest Free Trade.
The principles of free trade were
first advocated by Adam Smith (1727 s
1799J- in his “Wealth of Nations,” pub¬
lished in 177(5. Until 1846 the doctrine
made slow progress, but, after the re¬
peal of the corn laws in that year,
through the instrumentality of Rich¬
ard Cobden, thp new views made rapid
progress in public favor. •> A commer¬
cial treaty between England’ and
France based on the principles of free
trade, was signed in Paris January 23,
I860, by Lord Cowley and Richard
Cobden, apd by the French ministers
Barpohe and Roulier.
It is said that the expression “free
trade” originated with Henry Grsftan
fn the British parliament In 1779,rand
was used In reference to the restric¬
tions placed on Irish trade by the Brit
ish parliament.

Afl Indian legend says that the
Grand Canyon of Colorado was made
single handed by Pack-i-tha-a-wi, who
was armed with a lavge flint knife and
a big stick. Once upon a time the
world was covered so deep with water
that nobody knew what to do until

knife he thrust deep into the heart
of the earth, hammering until the Can

that there was a great chief who
mourned the death of his wife TaV

to him and told him his wife was in a
happier land, and offered to take him
there that he might see lor himself, if,
upon his return, he would cease to
mourn. The great chief promised.

Indian Summer.
In North America a period of mild,
balmy weather, usually occurring in
November, characterized by a - clear
sky and a hazy or smoky atftiosphere,
especially near the horizon, is known
as Indian summer. The name is said
to be derived from .the custom, among
the Indians, of using this time of year
to harvest their corn. According to
one of their traditions, “they always
had a second surajper of nine days
just before the winter set in.” 'Indian
summer corresponds to., a similar sea¬
son prevailing during the late autumn
in England and the Mediterranean
countries, called “St. Martin’s sum
mer, from St. Martin’s festival, which
falls on November 11/ Shakespeare
