The contribution by =Hal-ish Ho-sat=: Klickitat for "Old Wolf"; was the first of a series of hitherto unpublished legends of the Yakimas and kindred tribes contemplated for the =Tepee=. This, with some editorials, one or two incomplete, were retained and made use of, while the =Discards=, a few in galley proof, were returned to me. The editorial explanation of my severance with the =Tepee= was in bad taste and my own card was censored to suit the drawing. Perhaps the Wolf was too strenuous and the =Discards= had no place in =The Tepee's= pages. Doubtless the Manager will receive laudation from certain elements for his action; but believing it good at times that the public be made acquainted with disagreeable facts, such as contained in some of these rejects, they are here offered as mere samples of far reaching conditions. If "Elasticity of Indian Bureau Promises" appear unworthy of credence, there are the abandoned allotments, parched and dry, still in evidence, as well as voluminous correspondence on file in the Indian Department. The pie from the Indian Bureau bakery may look appetizing and palatable on the printed menu. Lift the crust! then--shield your nose as you watch 'em crawl. The "consideration" from the honest business man for Poor Lo's heritage ofttimes shows glitteringly munificent. Insert the probe! gilded illusion--"mess of pottage"--vermin infested and stenchful. And all this under a Government of the people ($), by the people ($$) and for the people ($$$). =He-mene Ka-wan=: "Old Wolf". (L. V. McWhorter). July 23, 1920 _That "Same Old Howl"_ Many of the Yakimas are wondering how long it takes the Indian Department to make good a promise. Tribesmen have waited vainly the years for a consummation of pledges made, while others, sore at heart and foot weary have passed over the Last Trail with thoughts embittered by the memory of wanton indifference, if not actual connivance of the Department officials in the brazen robberies which they have suffered. Ugly, sombre facts have been unearthed in the no distant past, while others are incubating for an unsavory hatching.
