sufficient to irrigate several hundred acres, has been dug, and it is
hoped that another season will see at least a beginning made toward the
civilization of these 4,000 wild but always loyal Crows."
_List of illustrations._

946. KAM-NE-BUT-SE. _Blackfoot._
The principal chief of the Mountain Crows; a splendid specimen of
manhood, standing 6 feet 2 inches in height and of very heavy frame;
owes his position to his bravery and success in fighting the Sioux,
their inveterate enemies. He also ranks high as an orator and
councillor in the nation. The first picture, in which he is
represented in an elaborate dress of buckskin, was made while on a
visit, with a delegation of his tribe, to Washington, in 1873; the
other represents him as he appears at his home on the Yellowstone,
or in his natural every-day garb.
