The story of the transformation of the great American desert was told Monday at the Corn exposition. The day ‘was designated ik Dry Farming day and the experts fn . this class of reclamation work oceupled the stage. More products trom aildd ary'Yarhing nreas are shown at the exposition than from the Irrigated #ections. The Great Northern runs through thousands of miles of territory which could never be farmed at all except by dry farm- ing methods and this {s one of the reasons that L. Hill, president of the Great Northern, Is interested in the exposition and why J. J. HUl} has given $2.500 in gold 48 prizes for the best grain grown along theee lines. “Formerly M was considered that land and areas of less than twenty inches pre- cipitation was good only for grazing,” sald Prof. Alfred Atkinsen of Montana, chalr- man of the executive committee of the Dry Farming ‘congress. “Under the demand for land and with the wornout ranges bare from overgrazing, the farmers have at- tempted to till the level areas of the,west.

Thatcher, director and chemist of the state agricultural experiment station at Pullman, Wash, in' a lecture delivered Monday. “This 1s a directioh in which agricultural investigation has thus far not been ex- iended exhaustively. Dry farming, more than any other tield of agriculture, d mands exact and careful work. While any careless farmer is destined to fallure, it comes quicker to the careless dry farmer. he principles of dry farming are bound to be of great help to agriculture in other flelds.

One of the most Interested groups which took In the Corn show Monday was that of the students for the school for the deaf.

PLAN HAS NOT WORKED WELL Member of Omahn Tribe Sayw it Has Reduced Indinn from an Inde- pendent Character to Posi- tion of Dependency. WALTHILL, Neb., Dec. 18.—To the Td- itor of The Bee: The Omaha Indlans are passing through a most eritical period, and having been asked many times for in- formation concerning the well belng and recent development of these Indians, and the conditions surrounding them, 1 feel 1t fairly due the public I make a plain state- ment of fdets. Much discussion has been currént during | the past year of these existing conditions, which are slowly foreing them into amal- gamation with the white people. Assimila- ton is a problem of the future, a solution of which is dependent on the combined ef- forts of the white people of this state and the Indlans themselves, and perhaps the politiclans, who are in a class by them- selves, whose Influence is usually retro- grade, T am a member of the Omaha tribe, hav- ing worked among them for about twenty years as a practicing physician and me fleld missionary. During these years I have closely the influgnces, progressive or re- trograde, concerned in molding the devel- | opment of my people. I have seen a gen- eration pass away—a generation which was of the old and represented the primeval with all fts nobllity and grandeur—who never felt the tumult of the new life and with its tragic passing left behind it an echolng note of sadness for that life which 1s but & memory Into the new tried as vet, concerned. Indlans Misunderstood. How little have most of those who have controlled the destinies of the understood their inner Jife—thelr thoughts, Tiielr hopes, their aspirstions, and the con- ditions surrounding them. There was much that was noble and beautiful in the primitive Amerlcan In- dian—he was taught in his early child- hood, and clear through manhood, that he owed to himself and to those around him the proper cultivation of his physical and moral nature, and the Indian was circum- scribed by laws and customa as well de- fined and more easily applled and better the most refined code of lawd in our own modern state. The striot observance of such laws brought practical results which I defy your so-called civil- ization to equal or surpass—there were no murderers, no robbery, no petty thieving, no drunken brawls—no subjecting of man- hood or womanhood to soclal Impunity. The generation before you today s passing, this is a stage of trasition— although Influenced to some extent the treditions of the old, they have not yer grasped the good lite. The Indian is struggling to adjust himself to the new ways, which he has no alternative, but to accept, he has to assume It whether he likes it or not, he has to put it on whether he understands it or not. He is passing, without much understanding from his own civilization into a so-called higher civilization. The white man may stand beside him from day to day and may honestly desiro to help him, and yet cannot do so fully because he cannot understand the Indian nature and knows nothing of 'thé struggie going on among the benighted, bewildered peoplo as they journey out of the old life into the new. Without understanding you, cristiclse us and try to teach us. Nature of Old Indians.

Having Jived such a life for centuries, s it reasonable for white people to expect them In one generation to cast off all the old and take up a new life with all lts complexities and play the game with the same zest as they and thelr vanished Kkin? (Many white people have died, and more will dle In the future, of ‘‘Amerlcanitis.”") Many years agd my people made a num- ber of treatles with the government of the United States defining the limts of their lands, which were held by tribal owner- ship, and then on August 7 1882, congress passed an act providing for . the separate allotment and assignment to the Individual Indlans of certaln tracts to be held under Individual ownership, the government, however, hold- Ing the title in trust for twenty-five years.

Upon whom doel this fallure rest? Whose {s the responsibility? Is the Indian ever capable of taking his place among his fellow men wtih free and uniimited rights and wtih the assurance of success, or has he bean degraded and debauched by his white associates or has the government blundered In its polley of governing its ward—robbing him of his Inecentives—depriving him of rightful experfences, reducing an independent, self- rellant, self-sustaining people Into an in- competent, declining people? On this ques- tion I have studied for ral pears, ap- to the consideration the experlences of delly contact under varied conditions and cireumstances.
