Washington, D.C.,

Dear Mr. Marrian: —

five

I am mailing you today -t-we photograptis of the
Peak in the Tatoosh Range in the Rainier National 5ark. Shortly
after the death of PormSr Secretary of the Interior, Franklin K.
Lanl I suR^ested through the Rainier National Park Advisory

B^?d. thaf ?hi8 Peak be named in hie honor ^t^^^'^-^l^tt^'^lll^
to HoAorable Stephen T. Mather, Director of National ^^rks, ask-
ing that he forward our suggestion to you. I was disappointed to
leirn on Mr. Mather's visit to the lest with Secretary of tne
intSior, Jkll? that this matter had never been brought to your
attention.

Considerable publicity has been given to this
name locally meeting with the approval of e^reryone to whom it was
sS^gested and it selmed to us that the name was peculiarly appro-
priate for this Peak.

Secretary Lane visited the National Park a num-
V.-,. «-p v^-TB MO and our Committee took him to the Mountain on a
brie? tri?! Sllfthe^J Se expressed the keenest admiration of the
^gled pe^B Jf this Range saying to me that *^«\?PP^?J«? .f^i"^^.
^15 muSh more than the Mountain itself. He «aw them in the after

loZ' J^TlllliSl th. latcoBh and e:g,raB8ed hie atoiratlon at the
scene.

I am enclosing with these photographs a section

will act favorably upon our suggestion.

Very truly yours.

Dear Dr. :ierrian: —

Uur papers here carried consideratle of your testimony for
the Putlic Lands Committee of the Senate relative to the till
introduced by Senator Dill who happened by accident to be
elected as Senator from this State.

I also want to let you know that you have niade a host of friends
in this Pacific i^orthwest country, by the clear cut statement
which you made* lour position was so clear that 1 cannot see
how the Committee can adopt it which 1 am privately informed
they are contemplating -- that is recommending the change.
xhe change will not be satisfactory to the state of Washington
outside of the City of Taco::ia and 1 question if we will adopt
the change even though Congress passes the Mil. I rather anti-
cipate that we will await the time when we retire Senator Dill
to private life and ask Congress once more to change the name.

In view of your testimony and such investiirations as was carried
out by i^r. Davidson of the Sierra ulub in their report of
19C5, it seems strange that * --- -- --^- - ^^

a Committee of the Senate would

listen to the unfounded mythology of the people of

Tacoma.

A thing that is almost of equal importance to us as the name
of the .mountain, is the feeling of intense bitterness that
has been stirred up once more in our State and particularly
between Seattle and Tacoma. *ie have been working for many
years for the development of the National Park without bring-
ing up the name and prior to this our citizens were worl<ing in
harmony but due entirely to thi? ineasure, i regret to say that
this harmony is a thing of the past.

./e are all nighty pleased to kno*.v we have such a staunch friend
of the troo p as yourself at the head of the i^oard of (reo-

graphic Homes.

i/ith kindest regards, i am

Sincerely yours.

Dear Dr. Merriam:

Under separate cover I am sending you
the photographs of the totem poles in the Indian village of
Kitsegukla on the banks of the Skeena Hiver, west of Hazel ton,
British Columbia. These are very old totems and a good many
in the group have fallen to the ground. They haven't been
painted for a long time and you vsill note that the soft grain
of the cedar is vseathering a\iay. »/ith these I am sending you
three pictures of the mountains, two of the Olympics and one
of Mt. liainier. You will recall the one of the north wall of
Mt. Olympus. The avalanch lillies are taken near the north
rim of the Hoh CanyoiJ. The one of Mt. Rainier is taken from
Tolmie Peak in the northwest corner of the Hainier National
Park and shows 3unice Lake.

My visit to your home is one of my most
pleasant remembrances of my visit to the national capitol.
With best wishes, I am.

Sincerely yours.

Dr* Utrrian,

Washington, D. C*

Uy dear Dr. Uerriarn:-

I wired my acceptance at once on receipt of your

letter . There is no question hut that I am delighted with the propo-
sition of making this trip, especially where the arrangements are so
fine for seeing and eicploring.

AS to financial arrangements I think as you su^^gested the much
better way would he for each one of the scientists to purchase such
negatives as they want and the head of the party anything that they
see fit* This would seem much more satisfactory than a salary both
from the party's standpoint and ny own, as in that way each one would
bear Just as much expense as he had work done and I should certainly
prefer it this way as I should feel more at liberty.

The only thing that tempted me to suggest jetting a salary was
that owing to having spent a great deal of money in fitting up my new
studio I am rather hard up this season and the outfit for the Jiotograp-
hic trip is going to be expensive, however I think that I can manage it

some way.

I shall anxiously look for another letter from you which will pro-
bably give more information in regard to the siae of the party and
what they expect to do. Do you plan the climbing of many of the peaks

I shall arrange to take my 18x22 camera with me, I have been work-
ing for some time on a panoramic camera which will make a picture 10
inches high and 36 inches long and including in the view Just half the
horizon, there is no doubt but that I shall have it successfully work-
ing in a short time . I was very pleased to hear that we shall have a
dark room aboard so that it will be possible to tell Just what I am do-
ing day by day*

AS you said nothing about it I presume that you expect to outfit

here«

I think that I shall have no trouble in finding two or three men
who would make good packers, I have some in view and will quietly start
to look them up and find out where they are and what they are doing so
that should you want them '^fhen you reach \\%v% we could get them without

delay •

I can hardly express my thanks to you for remembering me at such

a fine opportunity as this. I feel that it will be the best chance of
photographing Alaska that I shall ever have.

Your friend,

Dear M^rriaraS-

Your joTa lot of comunications in rtgard to pictures for
the publication comittea received. I think I have the order straish-
tenei out and irill proceed with it as fast as possible.

In regard to the platinotypes I have wired to Philadelphia for
paper and will make then as soon as it reaches here.

AS far as the

prints having been mounted on grey oatdboard. if they were alright
otherwise they could have been soaked off and heen re-nounted.

I will

make every effort to get the foreground light enough this time but it
is a difficult matter to do this in printing platinotypes as one can
not judge very well while printing however I think that I can get then
satisfactory. I hardly think that the entire lot could have been con-
demned On the ground of their being too dark in the foreground. I could
not make out from yo.r letter if you meant to say they were all object-
ed to on that ground or part on that and part on being mounted on grey

board.

The positives I shall start on at once this is something I have to

ly and it will take m evenings for three or four days.
I shall cro^d the order as fast as possible and forward to you as
soon 9S anything is finished. I am very anxious to see those negatives

Dear Dr. Merrlan:-

I nail you to-day "olua prints asked for • I hardly
knew just yfaBX you wanted with these blue prints so made prints which
would "be good for general purposes. In two cases I send duplicate
prints one a little daricer than the other. I have the transparancies
nearly ready for which I am truly thankful for I have had no sleep to
speak of since the order got here "but I think that One more night will
finish them up so they should reach you in two days after the receipt
of this communication.

The Graveur people may think some of these light etnd otherwise not
perfect but they must take into consideration that the original negati-
ves were that way. In some cases I think that the positives are de-
cidedly better than the original negatives and in other cases I made
five or six positives trying to better them and it is a question if I
succeeded or not. I hardly knew just what the ^raveur people would
want hovrever I have made the transparancies for the best results accor-
ding td my understanding of it.

I have had one of the plate companies demonstrators working with
me a couple of evenings and he pronounces the positives first class.

Hoping that they will be satisfactory I am,

Yours truly, / >— *

D«ar Uerrian:-

I an stndins th© positives to-day by taqprtss to Mr*
I^arrinan* Kow about water lints etc* being straight in thes«» many of
the negatives are on the plates crooked and that sort of thing and of
course in making the positives I have had to make them the same posi-
tion on the plate as the original negative, as there was no arrangcnent
in the camera for turning the plates one side or the otherfroa the
perpendicular at the time of exposure, however I" think the base lines

are straight*

#571 is possibly not as good a positive as it might be, after look-
ing at this one I started to make a second one and dropped the negative
on the floor consequently will make no more positives from that nega-

tive»

I will enclose bill for the positives, THe platinotypes are fin-
ished and I will mail them direct to you, certainly I think I have the
shadows light enough in these. They are practically outlines and not

much more«

I fail to see any of these that are not straight as to water line
if they are not straight to your eye you can simply draw another base
line according as you see it* As I said in one of ray former letters
if you stand quartering a square block and make a picture the base
line will not, can not run directly straight across the picture so you
see there can be a great difference of opinion as to the water line*

Hoping that everything will be satisfactory I am.

As to the tiro prints of the Beaver totem I think the reason you
did not get them is that you did not ask for then. In your former

of it but made no riention of the two prints. I will have then w^de

at once and sent on.

ilj dear J}r. lierriam;

To-aorro.v I start for the West, spending
a fev weeks in Seattle, and then off for the Couth-
vest, passing through San Francisco, perhaps about
the 20th cl May. lill you be in that part of the
country then? If so can .ve plan to meet there?
ttile in Boston I had several splendid talks ^ith
prof. Putnam. He is most enthusiastic over the work
and Tery encouraging. In fact, 1 found the men at
Harvard more than enthusiastic, and nothing has en-
couraged me more than their interest in the vi^ork.
Prof. Putnam has expressed a desire that 1 meet

of the California men, and 1 thought it possi-

ble if you were going to be in 8an Francisco at the
time I was there I would try to arrangs that we get
get a number of the men together. Perhaps we could

have a glass of beer and a sandwich.

IPith kindest regards to Mrs, '*«^erriam,
Fisher, and the other boys over at the office, 1

I,

Most sincerely yours,

My dear Dr. Merriaai*-

I am of course, acquainted with your great work on
the subject of our grand American animal, the grizzly and I would be
very flattered to in any measure feel that I had been of assistance to
you*

The grixrly in question struck me at the time as
having an unusually long snout. It was one of the outstanding ^©^tures
of this bear and even as mounted by the taxidermist, Rowland of New York
City, the head shows the same pecuUar characteristic. It is very broad
and very long in the muzzle. Fortunately, I also preserved the skull
which I will forward to you upon receipt of your instructions. This
skull was never properly cleaned. Moths got into the parchment adhering
to the skull so I finally put it outside on top of a roof to bleach and
as a result, many of the teelih f ell out.

I offer this explanation because I don't want you
to feel that possibly I am just sending a skull which I had picked up
by accident. I know positively that this very small skull came from the
very large head of the grizzly in question and if it should prove of
interest, I should be glad to hear from you about it.

▼ery truly

The grizzly bear skull will be shipped to you

my compliments*

Should you care to see the hide in lAiich the
head is mounted, I will also send that to you or if you wBLnt any
pictures of it besides the one that attracted your attention. I

had several of them taken from different angles I believe. I
will be glad to send them one*

Uj dear D-. I^orriacu-

I aci glad to know that you found the bear skull
worthy of being included in your Naional Fuseum collection*

It was shot in Octobor 1928 about eighteen miles
north of Sheep Creek which in turn is about twenty-five miles north
of the Big Smoky on the Eastern Slope of the Continental Divide in
Northwestern Alberta.

I am sending you some pictures that I took of it
at Tarious angles in which I used my Springfield sporting rifle as a
scale. You knoii' how difficult it is to show proportions when taking
pictures with a small pocket camera.

Dr. C« Hart lerriam
1919 - 16th Street

Dear Dr« Merriamt-

Pardon me for not having answered your latter of March 2 2nd

earlier. The bear in question was a male.

I note again your comments that it was an iBBHture specimen* If
so, he must have been a large child. I don't pretend to know nucha bout
grizzlies but I have seen a good many of them in my travels and while this was
not an exceptionally large bear, it was well up to average* I had to tote the
skin and head to camp and it was about all I could carry. Ky aovies which I
looked at a few nights ago bear out my memory of it as being an average bear*

I think I mentioned to you in my first letter that the skull
seemed unusually small to me for the size of the animl* By the way, this
bear was travelling alone at the time I killed him and had been f roc the time
he stampeded my horses until I killed him about four miles away* There were two
or three others rr using in the same vicinity which I refrained fro» hunting,
having a great deal of sympathy for the species and none for the bear poachers
who go after them year after year.

I don't suppose you would be particularly interested in the measure-
ments of the head as mounted because they might not be accurate but I can assure
you that the picture which attracted your attention and led jou to think it was
a big bear was quite accurate and was not taken with the idea of making the
animal look any larger than it was. The rifle placed deliberately beside the
bear's head to afford an idea of its size, was as you will note well back of
the bear's snout. WoldT the Taxidermist, commented upon ita particularly long
proboscis.

Very truly y

Mr Hart C.Herriam,

Washington, P.C,

Dear I-lr Herri am;

I am enclosing a picture, a photograph, of
a skull and horns that was excat^ated about a month ago
from the sub river gorge of the Klamath river. It was
taken from the gravel and debris that fills the deep river
chasm at a point about 90 feet below the present river
bottom. It evidently is the skull of an ancieni animal
for the old river gorge was filled with this debtis of
gravel, sand, and boulders a iong time ago. I thought

that this picture mijC-ht Le of interest to you.

ri^

he

skull is to be shipped to 3an Francisco to go into the

of Sciences
Academy /musQum, I understand.

There is another thing that might interest

you , and that is the presence of a certain peculiar bird

canyon
which inhabits the river /up here. It is a chubby Ijird,

slate color, sort of bob tail, and is shaped and is the

size of an ordinary robin. The bird bobilp up and doim all

the time in a series of squats, about one squat per every

2 seccndsv^ when it is walking about or standing upon the

rocks. It flies close to the water from one place to

the other, and seems to live on roots a lottirom my

chance observations)

H.C.Ii. 2
Besides the squat stunt it has the unique characteristic
of walking into the water, a good many times being totally
suhmerged. She superintendent tells me that upon close
examination one would notice a film of air d^arently
surrojinding the bird when it is iaersed totally; as to
that fact I can ot^j take his word. I would like to
find out where t* lives, and other characteristics , but
the^ work demands a lot of my time, and overtime, hence
my lack of opportunity in that nature line.

Was surprised to see Kies Trout in the ''city'*
abodt two months ago when she returned from the island, and
more so to hear that such a girl could have broken a leg.

^e have had a fierce srow storm up in this
country, and ^^ are glad to have nice wleather, as we have
had fer the past two or three days.

5ive my very best to lire •lie rriam, and Zanada.

In looking OTer our zacmbership list today, I was surprised to
find your nane on our invitation list instead. Does this nean that you have
not camped in Canada, or that we have overloolced your eligibility to mem -
bership. I have always thou^t of you as member and have taken pride therein.

reverthelesSt I have been calling upon you from time to time for
such help as I thou^t you could give, and would lilce to continue to do so.

I am now searching for a man to 3x>eak at our annual Dinner, Feb. 15th
next, on the subject of edible wild plants. I have in min)[ F.Y.Co^ville who
used to be connected with the Agricultural department. Can you tell me if he is

Hsr dear Dr. ilerriman :-

I thank you for your letter of Dec. 19th giving me the present
address of F.V.Colrille.

Your reason for not desiring membership in the Canadian Camp at -
tracts my attention and demands consideration. This is the first complaint I
hKWB had concerning the person in question, and I would be glad to have you tell
tae in what way he is objectionable to any organization such as ours. Anything
you may tell me will be strictly confidential. He has been on our Advisory Board
since its organization, has twice spoken before the Camp and favorably received ;
he seems to have many warm friends, is a prolific writer on out door life, and I
understand in this way supports himself. I remember Mr. Roosevelfs criticism
of him some ten years ago when he intimated he was a fakir, i think he also classed
Mr. Seton under the same head. 1 have read the books of both and have been able
to make allowances for some extravagant expressions, which 1 understand is permiss-

able outside of real scientific woiic svdh as you and X follow. We aim to have
men on the Advisory 3oard whose principles are beyond unfavorable criticism.

I have alwa^rs held you in vuch high esteem based on the hi{;h plane upon
which you work, that I have lonj wanted a better acquaintance with you.

Wishing; you the complLjents of the season, I am

Sincerely yours.

Dear Mr. Merriam:-

The key to Conservation is in the school'boy^s poeloBt* For years past
the Canadian Forestry Association has insisted that if the woodlands
are to he saved, the fish and game preserved, the proper starting point
educationally is the boy and girl of 12 to 15 years of age.

Take for example our Junior Forest V/ardensS Five Uioizsaad of them mostly
in frontier districts and all active defenders of ^oods. Waters and Wild
Life. Hot sentimertalists, hut workers in their hone conrgmi ties.

Last year you kindly placed three dollars in this speical departznent of
the Canadian Forestry Association. We devoted that money to giving
instruction in five schools so that through your personal sacrifice, a
large number of country hoys and girls were given aa elensntary training
in practical conservation*

Will you stand by us to the same degree this
Canadian Forestry Association strives only to
genreation the great natural heritage which we
or effort. Thousands of srmll schools are
service to their pupils, l^liether we help ^mm,
decision of those members to whom we are now

After all the
pbold for the coming
into witbout cost
us to continue our
or not depends upon the
iting.

Tours sincerely.

Dear Sir,-

Johan Beetz - Whale Tooth.

After an extendad absence, I find your esteemed

favor of 7th ulto., a reply to nine of 28th September.

note you were to the trouble of sending it to ITew
York, owing to party you first sent it to not having necessary
material for comparison. I am sorry that our request has led
to so much inconvenience to yiu and liEr Beetz wishes to renew
his best thanks to you for your courteous attention.

I have not heard as yet from Dr Lucas or Mr Andrews;
but presume we will soon have his news. So that you may not be

CARPELAN ^ EAST INDIES EXPEDITION

U. S. Biologioal Surt^

Washington^ D. G*

i;^ dear Mr. Meriam:

Beoanae of yonr interest in Game Protection, I am certain that you will
be interested in our -plmna wMoh have already attracted sich men as Seth
Grordon, president of the i^iaerioan Gams Association; Governor ©leodore
Roosevelt; Dr. Oharles F. da Mey, former Inspector General of the Philip-
pines •

This interesting scientific expedition is soon to fare forth for two years
arotcnd the xrorld. Leading American musetcns, zoological gardens and scien-
tific societies are represented in the cooperative grotcp, Y7ho comprise the
meinbership of the explorers, and the piurpoaes of the imdertaking is for the
good of mai^y American conimmities who otheiwise could not enlarge their col-
lections, beoanse of financial conditions.

The ^onsors and xmdexwriters are interested in an entirely non-commercial
manner, and the cooperators are devoting themselves in the same way, and
the American public at large will be educated and entertained by the news-
paper aerial stories and by the rebroadcasting from the tmiqne points of
otir route: Porto Mco, Haiti, the Galapagos Islands, Society Islands, Tonga
Islands, Australia, Solomon Islands, Borneo, Siam and iip through the Orient.

I am anxious to help taild vtp an important Honoraiy Ooramittee interested in
the scientific ideal behind the Expedition, to draw the syii5)athy and good
will of the leaders of Aaerican life, and in that direction, I would like to
ask you to join our General Honorary Committee*

Very truly yours.

January I5th. 1928

Dr. G. Hart Merriam,-
Washington D. G.

My dear Merriam,-

Owing to sickness I turned over to tiie young lady
in the Bank here all my correspondence as she had been doing our
typing. I asked her particularly to write and thank you for your
kindness in reading the manuscript and Mrs, Merriam and your
daughter for their hospitality to my son and myself. She went to the
Hospital soon after that^I am afraid forgot it. I am ind^^ed very sorry|

1 am only just now getting to work on Franciscos*
stories , in fact have two yet to type, is the younglady who does the
work or most of it is still ill it is very slow work for me.
Our little vijjage and in fact the San Gabriel have been suffering fro^
the epidemic of influenza and we have been having much sickness.
Seemingly we have all had it.

I sent our nurse from Mrs. Vosburgs ' Clinic down to
see old Francisco Patencio who had pneumonia and was left with a
very bad heart. He still has two stories of the Goachella valley
which he says he wants to tell me.

Some of the New York Indians living in Los Angeles
went down to Palm Springs and took some pictures for me of which
I am sending you copies. The one marked on the back was taken
by Smeaton Chase author of " California Boast Trails". He waskn
Englishman who came into Palm Springs for his health. The picture
was taken over fifteen years ago.

As SBOon as the typing is finished on the stories I
am going to San Francisco to see some people who have offered
their help. I am very reluctant about turning it over to
any one as I feel the responsibility of the manuscript and the manner
in which it is edited. Hov/ever up to now I have been too miserable
to give it a great deal of thought, but v/e are all improving and
will be able to go to Palm Springs soon I hope.

We have sent a case of olives sind some ranch walnuts •
I hope you receive them in good order.
With best wishes to Mrs. Merriam ,your daughter and yourself.

Very Truly

IS^ dear Doctor Kerriam:

The last time Mr. Collier was South I spoke
to him about a manuscript that I had typed for one of
the old Coahailla Indians* He gave me your name and
said you might be willing to read it and advise us
about it*

Old Francisco is called the Historian of his
tribe, and the tales, legends and stories of his people
are told in his own simple language*

A number of people in the South here are
interested and I believe we could arrajige for the publi-
cation if you felt they were of value*

I expect to be in San Francisco for a few days
about the end of August* Would it be possible for me
to leave the manuscript with you for you to readv

Very truly yours.

Dr. C. Hart Merrian, Director,

Dept. of Agriculture,
Washington, D. C.

My dear Dr. Merrian:

I understand that your department arranges to send oat
lecturers on the subjects in which it is interested.

On behalf of the Baltimore City Club Lyceam, I mm writing
to ask if you have lecturers on astronomy and ornithology. What we
need is competent lecturers who have a good grasp of their subjects,
but at the same time^ accustomed to speak to popular audiences which
would include some students, but for the most part, would coasist of
intelligent men and women who are not specialists but are interested
in worth while subjects. If you have such lecturers, would you be
good enough to let me know upon idiat conditions we aay hawe their
services. If, on the other hand^ you have not such people at your
disposal, we should be very grateful if you could tall us where to
find them.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Very truly yours.

Dear friend Dr« Merriam:

For two years mm I have been working in Presno, returning
to ny Berkeley home each week-end. During this two years to keep myself
entertained I have oocasicnally gone to the movies. Last night you can
isaigine how thrilled I was in the News of the Day to see you just as if you
were fifty feet away in -ttie news reel showing the presentation of an award to
Krs. Lindber^. Tou certainly looked natural ani I was happy to note that
you looked well.

The world has seemed somewhat different since my mother passed
away last year and often I have looked back to the visits we all had together
in Lagunitas, especially the visit last Fall when I had such a wonderful
vacation at ny mother's place there*

I expect it will not be long before you and your dear wife
will be coming west again and I certainly hope to have the opportunity of
eeeiog you both then.

Things are running along smoothly with us, the family is well
and mj work is progressing nicely. However, I have had very little time for
play and when the depression majiifests the fact that it is somewhat over I am
going to treat my family and myself to a real vacation.

Looking forward with pleasure to seeing you both soon^and
with affeotionate regards, I am

Dear Kr Lerriam:

It may be of interest to jrou to know that tha
State Hail Road ConuLission of the State of California, Has given
the Northwestern Pacific Rail Road Company, permisiiion to dis-
continue service of the road, between Manor and Point Reyes, Sta.
A motor truck service probably will be put in operation after
the Rail Road quits,

There has been some parties interested in the
spring theat is located in your property, And I thought that if
you knew of the abandonment of service you might bd interested
in acquiring the spring, and if you are I would not loser an^
time in communicating with the Rail Road officials regarding

same*

I am trending in this mail a map of your proper-

ty, which I have had for a long time.

to purchase such a collection. We are sending you a
partially detailed list of our collection. We have
about 12000 of an investment in this and this is what we
would want for it, and if you should know of any place
where we might dispose of it we would greatly appreciate

your courtesy in advising us*

Re: '.Window GuardB

Dear Sir:

In checking over n^?- estimate in accordance
with our conversation of yesterday I find that in
our original estimate we allowed for bars in two
windows, one in the pantry and one in the kitchen
the sum of ^tiilS.OO was allowed.

In furnishing these guards we furnished
one guard to go on the door which was an extra
and one wire mesh guard in the pantry window for
which no charge was made, giving you an allowance
of ylE.OO for two previous guards and then charg-
ing you for the one wire mesh guard which is more
expensive than the "bar guard we find there is a
credit of vS.OO still due you*

We wish to thanl: you for bringing this
matter to our attention as it was an oversight on
my part.

Very truly yours,
TSUiaS J\ COLLIER.

SEATTLE:, WASHINGTON

Janiary 25, 1924

Dr# C. Hart Merriam,

Chairman U. S* aeographic Board,

Washington, D. C.

Dear Dr* Merriam:

The Mount Tacoma agony has been precipitated

again, this time by the introduction of a Joint resolution in the
Senate by Senator Dill Pickle of this State and in the House Iqr
Congressman Johnson of the Tacoma district to change not only the
name of the mountain but the names of the national park and the

forest to Tacom^.

This seems going a bit far, at least as to t he
mountain. I presume the Geographic Board is still the body ^dth
jurisdiction in this matter and question whether Congress can
assume to supplant it. There is a lot of fool stuff being printed,
all besed upon completely ignoring the fact that Tacoma is not an
Indian xs word and was never the Indian name of the mountain. I
enclose a short rejoinder of mine today.

I am having our brief reprinted to supply to

members of Congress.

Very respectfully.

Dear Mr* Merriam:

For some time It has been In ray mind to
drop you a line, just for old times* sake, and to let you
know that you made an Impression on a young man that Is
still there as he approaches middle age.

Some months ago, on one of our comparatively
rare visits to the movies, my wife and I happened to witness
a news picture of the presentation of the Geographic medal to
Mrs . Lindbergh, and I was very pleased to be able to point
you out to her and to tell her of our somewhat casual associa-
tion in "ashfcggton back in 1918 or 1919. I was also pleased
indeed to note that you did not appear to have changed a bit
since I last saw you, which must be all of 16 years ago.

Perhaps - Just perhaps, I know - your memory
will bring back to you the times when you attended some Span&h
lessons at a school on F St., back in the spring of 1918 or '19.
I used frequently to sit beside you, and I well remmber that
on several occasions you drove me back uptown during the delight
ful tv/ilight hours of a Washington spring, and once you invited
me into your studio for a glimpse of your collection of Indian
baskets and other articles. I haven't forgotten all of that
interesting evening yet, although perhaps even fresher is the
remembrance of your kindness to a youngster. That still

stands out clearly among the maze of impressions gathered dur-
ing two years in that busy city.

I get to •Washington but infrequently now - t4be
in ttie past four years - but I hope to be able to drive down
again this year, when I hope I shall have an opportunity to
drop in for a handshake.

Virlth kindest regards and all good wishes, I an

Very sincerely yours.

Dear Sir:- I beg leave to call your attention to "The Cos-
mopolitan a neif magazine that has been established in this city^ I
do so with the hope that you may be induced to contribute something
that shall be of interest to our readers* Mr^ W# T* Homaday of
The Smithsonian Institute has spoken to me about your books and
articles and he expresses belief, that perhaps you might be will-
ing to undertake one or more articles for "Wie Cosmopolitan*^ I
see that you have written a book on "Seal Hunting in the Arctic"*
I should think that you might have material for an article of three
or four thousand words relative to this subject* I see, also, that
you have written a book on "The Migration of Birds", and also on
■The Popular Fallacies Regarding American Animals"* Although I
hare never had the pleasure of reading these books, I should say
that they must be very interesting, and I should think there were
topics covered by these titles that might serve for articles for a
popular magazine* I should think, also, that these articles mi^t

admit of illustration*

Of course, I do not know whether you would care to write for
■The Cosmopolitan" at rates within our reach, but I thought that no
harm could come from addressing you in regard to the matter*

Hoping to hear from you sS your convenience, I remain.

Very respectfully and truly yours.

Dear Sir:-

Mrs. Covan and I are thinking about buying
a small automobile and we are very muoh interested
in the 490 Chevrolet.

Before spending five or six hundred dollars
however 9 we want to ask you and a few other users of
the oar about your experience with it - so many claims
are made by different cars in advertisements and by
salesmen that it is hard to know the real facts • We
oannot afford to make any mistake.

If convenient 9 wonH you kindly Jot down
your answers on the enclosed sheet after the questions?
I am enclosing a stao^ed return envelope.

We will certainly appreciate your kindness
in giving us your advice.

Yours truly t

The skull^on top is the skull of an old female bear; was killed
at Hootz Bay, May 12, 1916. The large skull^the one in the bottom of
the box is a large old male bear, killed at Hootz Bay the isth day of
May, 1916. These skulls are in very fair condition, as good as can be
gotten anywhere, and was killed by a native man by the name of Walter
TVilliams, of Killisnoo, Alaska.

Please give a fair price for them and we can get some other good
specimens of other things later.

We are inclosing the circular from which Mr. Williams got his

information. Please send us any newer information you have in regard

to collecting specimens, and oblige yours very

Dear Sir:

In a box, by express C»0#L« we are sending you the sTTuIl of a hu^e
male brown bear. The natives say it was the largeat one ever seen in this
part of Alaska. It was kiliea by two natives, 7;^lter Williams and James
Bell, June 20, 1S16, near Hootz or Kootz Bay. They shot it in the body
18 times with 2 Winchesters £0-cO.

It was so huge and full of fight the men had a very narrow escape.
It finally rolled domi a cliff about 40 feet and they think ihe breaking of
the Si^uil, where the cracks are, rendered it unconscious or really caused
its death. They were so exhausted and frightened they did not go back
to see if it really was aead for about two months. They went hunting
this week and secured the skull. It does seem like a very fine specimen.

If it was just ordinary we would not send it. We triea to persuade
them to wait till we would hear from the two Mr. Williams already sent
but they were so enthusiastic and anxious for you to have it we could
not persuade them to wait. They wish you to kiiov/ there are two of them;
they are pardners for life now after such a thrilling experience with
••his bearship.»«

Hoping it will prove valuable to you in your research work, and
also remunerative to these men, v/e remain

Yours very respectfully,

Dr. C. Hart Merriam,
1919 - 16th Street, U. W.
Washington, D. C.

Dear Dr. Merriam;

On HovemlDer 5th you wrote Mrs.
Alfred Tutts asking for some information atout
Indian Rancher os along the Sacramento River from
Butte City south to Knights Landing. She referred
this letter to me to ainswer as I handle her affairs
in this section.

There was an Indian Rancher io on
land originally owned by Colonel Hager about a mile
and a half north of Colxisa* This property is now
owned "by the Tut tie Land Company and a communication
addressed to Mrs. Uellie J. Scott, -^rtio is the owner
of this Company, would probably give you the inform-
ation you want.

If you will permit me to suggest it
you could probably obtain more definite information
regarding Indian Rancherios in this District by com-
municating with Mr. Chas. de St. Maurice, Colusa,
California. He is a licensed surveyor here and is
quite familiar with all of the old land marks.

Yours very truly.

room like a thick gray fog. The President was not feeling very well.
His pulse was about 140, and he coughed incessantly. Nearly every mn
in the room was seeing how much he could do to add to the density of the
atmosphere, and those that were not smoking were seated near the windows
and door, where the air was slightly clearer. The room was wam^ so
warn that the gutta purcha model of the dung of a mastadon on the Pres-
denfs table had first become soft, and then spread out like a pancalce.
The Vice-President had the floor and was speaking.

"Permit me to remark,- he said, -that it might be well to go
slow in this matter."

The President coughed.

"The man is a dod-gasted thief and a villain, and he has
swiped the funds of this corporation. Therefore , why not say so.-
; - "While agreeing with you as to the facts in the case," re-
marked the Vice-President, expectorating on a fine Indian blanket at •
his side, -I cannot see the necessity of giving this raongrel a chance
to get back at us by the aid of the law. If we tell him frankly that
we propose to fire him, because he is a filthy yap, and one utterly de-
void of even the principles of a tenderloin police captain, he will con-
sult some shyster lawyer, and they will gather together in a low police
court and put up a roar. Purthemore, the amount of literature which
we shall receive through the mail will annoy us.-

"What of it?" said the President firmly. "I say soak it to

him, and soak It to him good."

The sound of a falling body Interrupted the argument at this point.
One of the non-smoking members had fainted and a recesB was taken while
he was carried into the open air and revived. When he was brought back
into the smoke again, he was pale but firm. Quiet having been restored,
the Treasurer arose, and fixing his glasses firmly upon his nose, he put
one hand into his trousers' pocket, and assuming a senatorial posture,
cleared his throat and said:

^r. President, it striked me—

"Oh, shut up," interrupted the President, reaching for the
gutta purcha pancake in front of him.

"I repeat," continued the Treasurer with dignity, "it strikes
me that this damned reptile, thes God forsaken parody on the imitation
of a man— -

Here the President heaved the imitation pancake, but the Treasurer
ducked gracefully and was safe. Before he could continue his remarks
a dignified gentleman arose, and bowing gracefully, said:

"Mr. President" —
The President glared at him and reached for the ink stand, but
changed his mind, and said:

"Mr. Hallen."

"Mr. President, I believe, before this unfortunate discussion
began we were about to nominate several corresponding fellows. I now
propose the name of J. Wilson Rubberneck, Prof. Prank Muskinton Swat,
and" —

"Stop right there, if you please," interrupted the President
forcibly. *It occurs to me it might be as well to take these names

up separately. Now, do I understand you to suggest seriously the name
of J. Wilson Rubberneck?"

"You do.**

••What in Hell has he done?" asked the Secretary hotly,
"Well,** remarked the dignified member, "he is at present en-
gaged on a most exhaustive work on Pterolography and he contemplates,
also«*- "

"Pardon me," sweetly interrupted the President, "but this
aggregation of crack scientists don't give a damn what he is going to do;
it is what he has done that cuts ice with us. The only paper he has

published worth anything, he stole; he's a worm man anyway

"And a good imitation of a fake, at that," remarked a fair
haired member, feeling for his little hammer.

"I feel," continued Mr. Hallen, "that Mr. Rubberneck does not
meet with your approval. What does this gathering of expert knockers
think of Prof. P. Muskinton Swat?"

"Oh, you make me tired," coughed the President.

"Mr. President," remarked the Vice-President, again expecto-
rating on the blanket, "I do not know what this Committee thinks of
Prof. Swat, but personally I consider him a bald-headed, bleareyed old

stiff."

"Me, too," whispered the Secretary, who had dropped his

glasses, and was hunting for them in a pile of cigar ashes which cov-
evere the table several inches deep.

"Well," meekly remarked Mr. Hallen, "might I suggest the cele-
brated Russian, Dr. Tumbleoff A-Trappesi?"

"Hulls gee," yelled the President, "what do you take this Com-

mlttee for, anyhow?"

At this moment, Dr. Pishcatcher arose.
^iLr. President."
"Dr. Pishcatcher. "

"Mr. President, as it seems unlikely that*—"
"Sic him, Towser," remarked a member from Illinois.
The President frowned.

"Kr. Dane is out of order. Dr. Pishcatcher is sober.
"How the devil should I know that? He don't look it."
Mr. Dane subsided, and Dr. Pishcatcher proceeded to describe the
great mortality among birds from striking the lighthouses during mi-
gration. He mentioned that the lightkeeper »s wife wore on her hat, the
wings of an Albino meadow lark. With a frightful scream, the Treasurer
started to his feet. His face was pale and drawn, and his eyes

gleamed like those of a wild beast,
rage at Dr. Pishcatcher.

He pointed a hand trembling with

"You say," he yelled, "you say this woman wore the bird's wings
on her hat?"

"Why sure, cert," cheerfully answered Dr. Pishcatcher.
The Treasurer tried to speak, clutched frantically at his throat,
and then fell to the floor, frothing at the mouth and barking like a sea
lion.

At this point the meeting adjourned for lunch.

Universal
Education
in the South

BY CHARLES WILLIAM DABNEY

TWO VOLUMES

Vol. I. From the Beginning to 1900

Vol. II. The Southern Education Movement

Volume I. From the Beginning to 1900

In this first volume of Universal Education in the Southy
the author tells of the long struggle for public schools, from
the beginning, with Jefferson's "Bill for the More General
Diffusion of Knowledge," to the opening of the twentieth
century.

Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ala-
bama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas — ^the
story of each is told in terms of the words and works of the
South's great educational leaders.

With a vast array of facts to organize, the author has blazed
a trail of cause and effect, through class and sectional conflict,
from Jefferson to the present. "Enlighten the people gen-
erally," said Jefferson 5 and men who had listened to him went
out to spread his gospel. Over this gospel Tidewater and
Piedmont grappled in a bitter conflict of interests, but the Pres-
byterian preachers of the hill country won, and the gospel of
Jefferson passed across the AUeghenies.

Then came the Civil War, slicing ruthlessly through the
cultural life of the South, and when the war was over, the
southern people found themselves with doubled educational
burdens and greatly diminished resources. Again the words of
Jefferson filled the minds of the leaders and stirred them to
renewed efforts to "enlighten the people generally," lest demo-
cratic government perish from the earth.

It is a story of great personalities fighting a great cause-
David Caldwell, Moses Waddel, Henry Ruffner, Robert E.
Lee, George Peabody, Wiley, Aycock, Thornwell, Memminger,
Branson, Breckinridge, Tutwiler, Buchholz, M. B. Lamar,
Booker T. Washington, and many others.

Though the author's point of view is as national as was
Jefferson's, his interpretation of the educational life of the
South is peculiarly sympathetic. He shows the priority of the
South in certain aspects of the country's educational life and the
influence of southern educational experiment upon education in
foreign lands. He makes clear the fighting strength of educa-
tional leaders in the southern states.

Volume II. The Southern Education

Movement

In the second volume of Universal Education in the South
Dr. Dabney is mainly concerned with that renascence of educa-
tion in the South in the early 1900's known as the Southern
Education Movement. This movement, possibly the most
remarkable in the educational history of our country — certainly
the most vigorous and dramatic — is described by a man who
helped to start it and who worked for it through years of con-
structive effort.

It is thus an inside story of the way in which a group of
devoted and far-sighted southerners, aided by certain north-
erners who understood the educational problems of the South
and their national implications, obeyed Thomas Jefferson's
command to "preach a crusade against ignorance j establish and
improve the law for educating the common people."

These men organized themselves for effective service as
the Southern Education Board with the avowed purpose of edu-
cating public opinion as to "the overshadowing and supreme
need of our time, the education of the children of all the
people ... a fitting and universal education and training for
the home, the farm, the workshop, and for the exercise of the
duties of citizenship." This statement strikes the keynote of
the movement.

It is not strange, therefore, to find here the story of Knapp's
rice-growing experiment in Louisiana and the development of
his farm demonstration plan— the campaign against the boll
weevil — ^boys' and girls' clubs — the campaign against hookworm
—the Moonlight Schools— the May Campaign in Virginia— the
Whirlwind Campaign in Kentucky— revival and progress in all
the southern states.

The book is a challenge to the future. In a closely reasoned
chapter, "Tenancy and Education," the author says "Tenancy
prevents education, while education is the only means of pre-
venting tenancy." In view of the prevalence of farm tenancy,
the dual system of schools, and the smaller per capita wealth
in the southern states, what shall he done? The author's solu-
tion is worth the consideration not only of the southern states
but of the entire nation, which it vitally concerns.

COMMENTS ON THE BOOK:

1 hese books are the only comprehensive and complete histoiy of
education in the South from the beginnings of colonial days to the
present. It would be almost impossible to exaggerate their Taluc;
and I predict that they will cause educators of the North, and East,
and West to modify their conceptions of education in the South." —
J. D. Eggleston, President of Hampden-Sydney College.

"I am glad to learn your new volume is out. You have fiUed in the
biggest effort for progress the South has made since Appomattox." —
Letter to Dr. Dabney from S. C. Mitchell, Univeraty of RichmotML

"Such a work is a proper tribute to the past and a tremendous re-
source and incentive to the future. It ought to be in the hands of
every Southern teacher, editor, and legislator." — ^VVm. Goodell
Frost, President Emeritus, Berea College.

"Universal Education in the South is an important book not only m
regional history but also because educational conditions in one-fourth
of the states of the Union vitally concern the entire natioa." —
N. Y. Herald Tribune Books,

"Students of social movements, and especially of educational provi-
sions in the South, will increasingly appreciate the remarkable senricc
which Dr. Dabney has rendered through his compilation of Inograph-
ical data concerning the able and devoted personalities who fou^it
faithfully for a public school system." — ^A^. Y, Times Book Revitw.
". . . compendious and valuable. ... It is sure to become required
reading in our teachers colleges. But it could do much good awMwig
the laity." — The Nashville Tennessean,

"Dr. Dabney is fitted for this task by his lineage, training and ex-
perience. ... His work will take rank as a source upon which all
future writers on this subject must draw." — Richmond, Va., Times

Disfatch,

"We are apt to take our public schools as a matter of course, but
they are shown to be the result of hard struggle and the
determination of educational statesmen." — Savannah Morning Na

My dear Doctor Merrlam :-

Yours of 7th# inst Just at hand.
Those two Grizzly Bear skulls were found in the Lorenzo
Yates collection sent us from Santa Barhara.Cal* He
picked up a wide range of material, much of it good but
it was all stored in a ham for a long tine, and the
coarser material, he ing packed in more or leas open hoxee,
lost their lahels owing to work of rats and mioe^ so we
have no data with the skulls*

Am glad that the Bsea hear skulls proved of interest to you.
When Lr.J.C.Merriam was down here recently he incidentally
mentioned that he had in preparation a pamphlet on the hear,
including those of fiancho la Brea. I understand that you both
have always worked in great harmony and I will leave it to you
to use the results of the two la Brea skulls where it will
result to the best advantage of both papers.

I have a number of lower Jaws of different animala- individ-
uals, probably the same species. They have been somewhat
restored by Fischer. Would be glad to send them should you

desire.

Very truly yours »

_S4i

Dr. J. CM. has the actirate measurements of these, and perhaps
it would be better to write him for full particulars.

My dear Dr. Merriam:-

You will perhaps recall your visit to the asphalt
"beds last year. Mr* Hancock has recently donated thirty-
two acres corering these fossil heds at Rancho la Brea to
Los Angeles County, for park purposes. The question of
how this shall he handled will he an issue in the near future.
It seems to me it should he treated entirely from a scientific
standpoint. I have proposed that we preserve the entire
ground covered hy the excavations as a permanent point of
pilgrimage for scientists who may come here to inspect and
make use of the material already excavated and deposited in
the Museum of History, Science and Art.

It is thought hy enclosing the actual ground occupied
hy the heds with heautiful part surroundings, in the center
of which would he preserved the pits more or less restored
and all the important features of the find, including restora-
tion of working traps and pits of the animals themselves, it
would he of great interest not only to scientists hut to the
puhlic as well. The Board of Supervisors have hacked up
liherally every effort to save the specimens so far, and stand
ready to carry out any plan that will preserve the scientific
features of the field in a way to satisfy the scientists of
America.

I am writing to you and other leaders in order to
get an expression hefore placing the matter definitely hefore
the Board. The question is - would the preservation of this
partially exhausted field for all time he of sufficient interest
to visiting scientists to warrant the money expenditure involved?

Thanking you for any interest you may take in the
matter, I am

Yours very truly.

Dear Dr. Merriam: -

Yours of 23rd ult in regard to the
so-called Sunland grizzly carefully noted.

I have the skull on hand and expect
in time to get the skin, at least as a loan to
the Museum. The skull was only roughly cared
for and I am having it put through the cleaning
process and as soon as that is finished will
forward it, together with a photograph of the
bear taken at the time it was killed- As this
is the only copy I have, kindly return it at
your convenience.

I do not recall that any hear material
turned up after you were here in October, 1915,
In fact, I am positive that nothing special oc-
curred, as we stopped excavation about that time.
In handling our vast amount of material we oc-
casionally find a few bones mixed in with other
species, but nothing of great importance.

Whatever this bear proves to be, it is
a very interesting specimen - being the last shot
in this vicinity. By the way, I have the skull
of the grizzly shot by Walter Richardson some years
ago and will forward that with the other, as it
may be of interest to you. We also have the skin
as a loan, probably permanent, in the Museum storage
room.

I am looking up the matter of the Sxinland skull.
It la possible the taxidermist has made some substitutions,
in which ©vent I propose to have a little fun over it - which
would be rather serious to him.

The photograph, Fischer tells me, was placed in its

Dr. C. Hart Merrlasn,
fhe Sorthtmberland,
Washington, D. C.

I>ear Dr. Merrlam:-

Pardon the delay in acknowledging receipt of the
Polar hear skxai D-2E8 and the photograph. I expected to
have something definite, hiit owing to nature of events matters
dragged along.

I do not recollect ever Bieeting a case where scientists,
crooks and laymen were so ixiextrloahly mingled. In the first
place. Andrew G. Booth, taxidermist, £S6 E.4th St.. los Angeles,
has shown himself to he a petty crook in his hiisinesB dealings.
(Make a record of that, in case of any suggested future trans-
actions). J. Grinnell. of Barkeley. in a moment of pique de-
llherately planned to discredit ■» with you, and incidentally
with our scientists on the Coast. Ihat satlsffeotlon he could
have in perpetrating such a "joka" I cannot comprehend, for he
knew that I never made any pretense of heing a mammalogist: in
fact, what I do not know ahout MMals would fill volumes, and
an attempt of tha=rsort is aklB to -stealing o^ay^^?"^ » )^X '
One thing, however, has been my special pride and that is that
I have th4 call in any emergency fbr the host advice and iBforma-
tion that our leading scientists can glve;and in my mind, for
rellahillty, Grinnell has stood prominently ahove all others,
for I have known him hotter and longer than the rest. So I
confess to some humiliation that the iconoclast struck home.

So many stories are floating around regarding this
deal, some of which might reflect perBjanent la^wy to hto. »»
^ good friend Dr. Loye HOl^s Miller who was ^**iffiy '"S
Sto it, that I feel like doing all I can to put matters right.
Fortunately, our mutual friend. Dr. J. C. Merrlam, "^^o^.g^* „.

judgment okA always he relied upon. o*ll9Vii*''*i^?n**« ^^fJn*
that the -joke" might result la the loss of the skull to science
and that it hehooved all hands to see that it was faved. In
order to show that Grinnell heartily <»o-°Pt^»*«J,^"^ ^J^^fjl^!*'
I am enclosing copy of his letter of Deo. 26, 1916. I am glad to
Jo ?hJs hecaSfe it relieves Dr. Miller of any P^J^o'S^t"?^'
ihillty for the mix-up. To fnrther emphasi»e this f»o*. I ^m

C. Hart Merrlam - S

from what was done in a moment of plqiie.

Bow, regarding the trxia Sxmland slnill. I hare gone
at this from eyery aTenue of diplomacy » and I helleTe ha^ seen
every skull ahout his plaoe. Only one could poaslbly fill the
requirements, hut that Is so shattered at the hase that the con-
dyifes which Grlnnell sent down do not make contact. If it is
the real skull it can never he proven.

I have, of course, the District Attorney's office at
my service, and here is where the real Joke cones in - and not
so much ofaa Joke either. When I put on too much pressure Booth
falls hack on the Polar hear skull as the real Sunland and defies
us to prove that the condyles we have ever did belong to the
Sunland heari In fact, if scientists trick each other, why
shouldn't they trick himi! It even makes the Pistriot Attorney's
office grini Johnson declares his hellef that the Polar hear
skull I returned to him is not the skull he brought in, and I
think he hone^y believes it. He won't accuse you and me of
attempting a ftaud on him, hut thinks my men or yours at Wash-
ington have deceived us. He is not inclined to be disagreeable,
because Booth contributed the money which Johnson returned to
me when I returned the Polar bear skull; so the Polar bear skull
now stands sold to Booth and not to me. If the real skull is
not already in the hands of some scientist and institution and
the fact suppressed, it may turn up somewhere some time in the
future. In any event, you should have on file a photo of the
contact end of the condyles Grlnnell owns, to cheek up with.
Of course the condyles themselves are available through Grlnnell.
I cannot Imagine the real skull of any particular value unless
it passes throtfgh your hands for Judgment.

By the way, if you wish the photo of the Sunland grizzly
I would be glad to return the one you sent, for I have another.

With kind regards and best wishes, I am

Sincerely,

Los Angeles, Cal. ,
Deoember 27th, 1916.

My dear Mr* Daggett:-*

I am Just in receipt of a note from Dr. Grinnell which raises
the restriction of silanoe laid npon me by him in a matter which I have
been very much distressed about. The matter is one wherein Srinnell
seemed to be permitting a job to be worked on you and in which I seemed
to be in connivance. let me say that, while such seems to be the case,
it is not in fact true.

On November 4th I chanced to meet Grinnell on the streets of
los Angeles and of course asked him what was up. He asked me if you were
doing anything regarding the bear killed at Sunland. I had heard nothing
of such a bear before that morning, when it had been mentioned to me as a
real estate dodge for an "ad** for Sunland. I of course knew nothing of
your interest in the matter. He told me then that he had seen the place
and had dug up some of the bones on Johnson's ranch out tbere* He was on
his way to Booth's place in Garvanza, to see the skTill. I went with him
to Booth's and again on the following day went at his request with him
to see the skull.

On this second visit, as we approached the house we were greeted
by Booth with the statement that Mr. Daggett had been to see him and that
he (Booth) could obtain for Mr* Johnson a larger amount of money as price
of the skull. Grinnell at once said he was "Hot bidding against Mr. Dag-
gett, he is a friend of mine.* We turned our attention to the skull which
had been set out to dry alongside the mass of meat, including the tongue
and greater muscles taken from the skull we had seen the previous day in
the flesh. A casual glance at this skull showed that a substitution had

been made, ^ . ^ j.. ^^i

We were both at a loss what to do. To antagonize Booth would

possibly mean that no one would obtain the right skull. Grinnell finally
telephoned yeu from my house and learned that you were on the trail and
had been for some days. It looked as though Booth had checkmated Grinnell
and had taken the real skull to turn over to you. Wa coiald see no better
way than to let Booth carry out his deception of Johnson and to draw out
of the situation in your favor, thus raising no antagonism on part of
Booth, who mi^t destroy the true skull.

I see no^treason why Booth should not have given you the true
skull, uiaess he planned on getting more for it from some third party.
Grinnell refused to have any dealings in the matter that were ^ft above-
bdard. The skull that finally came to you was the substitute skull which
Grinnell and I saw at Booth's on Hov. 6th - even to the shellac employed
to retain the teeth in place.

I am laid wup with a severe lumbago, but will thresh the matter
over with you later at your convenience. I offer the apology for a seem-
ing discowtesy to you, which I assure you is absolutely without intent
on my part and I feel is the same with Grinnell.

Cordially yours.

if we all lie low on the proposition the skull

Certainly any new skull, coming from any direction,
should he carefully compared in connection with the
condyles which the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, at

have a photograph of those condyles on hand, as a
help. The whole experience in connection with this

Hon. Edwin Willits,

Assistant Secretary of Arrri culture*
Dear Sir;

A good many years a^ro a curious little fossil shell was dis-
covered on the Colorado Desert in the pacific R*R* explorations,
and it was named Tryonia by Dr* Stimpson* Its relations have al-
ways remained a puzzle and have caused much discussion • I have
always felt that if the brooks and springs which run toward the
desert and are lost in the sand were followed up, in some one or
more of Lhem we would likely find some of these fossils still livinp".
In a parcel of shells from th--^ Death Valley expedition collected
in a warm spring in the Pahranagat Valley, Nevada, by Dr. f'^erriam,
recently sent over to us, I am delighted to find a few specimens
containdng the dried animal of this long sought, presumably extinct,
species. This will enable us to settle a number of mootad ques-
tions. I thought perhaps you would be interested to know of the
find, and, if Dr* Merriam be accesible by mail, perhaps you will
let him know and possibly he may find more of them^

Yours very truly,

[Signed] W. h\ Dall

MEMORIES AND HOPES.

Sweet as a blossom at its first unfoldingf

The magic smile which won all hearts to him.

The baby fingfers, by the mother's holding.
The dancingf feet exploringf pathways dim.

Cheery his mien as Life unfurled before him
The chart of new and unfamiliar ways,

Love and a sunny confidence upbore him
Through the brief term of his allotted days*

Swiftly he passed beyond the mystic curtain.
The veiling shadow of Azrael's wings.

And, with the choir invisible but certain,
In the glad presence of the Father, sings*

O Thou to whose unerring love we owed him.
Grant of Thy strength to us who mourn, bereaved.

That we may bless the Giver who bestowed him,
Forgetting not, in grief, the boon received ;

Nor yet unmindful of the joyous meeting
On the first margin of the farther shore.

Where, by the radiance of his eager greeting.

Our yearning souls shall know our boy once more.

AD MATREM DOLOROSUM.

Yet, O stricken heart, remember. Oh remember
How of human days he lived the better part,

April came to bloom, yet never dim December
Breathed its killing frosts upon the head or heart.

Doomed to know not Winter, only Spring, a being
Trod the flowery April blithely for a while,

Took his fill of music, joy of thought and seeing,
Came and stayed and went, nor ever ceased to smile.

All that life contains of torture, toil and treason,
Shame, dishonor, death, to him was but a name ;

Here a boy he dwelt, through all the singing season
And, 'ere the day of sorrow, departed as he came.

— Robert Louis Stevenson.

AMERICAN JOURNAL OF SCIENCE.

NEW HAVEN. CONN. January 29,1918

Dr. C, Hart Merriam
1919 Sixteenth Street
Washington, D. C.

Dear Dr. Merriam :-

I am much* Interested in your letter
of the 25th and I wish I could aid you in the direction
which you suggest. I am reasonably sure that all of
my father's notes, in regard to the expedition, were
deposited in Washington and not in New Haven, How-
ever, some of his private papers were placed in
the Yale Library and I am looking the matter up to
make sure that there is nothing that would interest

you there.

With kind regards,

SincjerBly yours

ESD/FP.

Dear Mr. Dana:

T7e have made a careful search of your father's manuscript material and find
no records of his work with the ^7ilkes Expedition. "Ve have a considerable file of
letters addressed to him, but find no notes of his own wDrk, and therefore are re-

turning to you Dr. Merriam's letter

Very truly yours.

By lucky chance I told my friends in Washington before leaving, and
my newspaper friends and others here on my return of my determination
to have nothing to do v/ith the Board or Collett unless a satisfactory
accounting was made, that would refute the complaints against Collett
at Washington. I told this to the Board and Collett, too; so it seems
rather desperate folly that Collett should have resorted to that.
I have several things to write you about Indian matters here but
must wait until I am a little stronger.

with the new brother still has her beautiful curls.

)

N, H. Darton and Alice W. Barton
send you greetings for Christmas and the New Year.

[^1135.- 1133 ;i

The hour has arrived when we sesnd our annual message to friends, con-
veying our earnest wishes for their happiness, and at the same time acquaint-
ing them with the course of events in our life since our last Christmas
letter.

For the first time since N. H. -tmtm joined the Survey nearly A7
years ago, diminished appropriations precluded the field trip that usually
Affords us an opportunity to see friends in the West. For this there was
but one compensation: the pleasure derived from the family gatherings and
week-end parties at the summer home of Alice's mother in the Blue Ridge
Mountains near Harpers Ferry (90 minutes from Washington). Naturally,
much entertainment was afforded us hy our daughter's children, including
James William Kerlin II, whose arrival on February 12th we now announce to
you. Our son Arthur, now a graduate, was also with us, doing some prac-
tical architectural work; at present he is drawing plans for a residence
he hopes to build for the femly.

The extra time available this year for N. H.'fc^'s office work has
brought results. His Geological Guide Book of the Southern Pacific Rail-
road, New Orleans to Los Angeles, v/ith 31 maps of the route, went to the
Public Printer in December as a Bulletin of the United States Geological
Survey similar to the Santa Fe and other guides. A small guide book was
also prepared and published for part of one of the western excursions of the
International Geological Congress next summer.

The geological map of Texas, so long in progress, was issued in
preliminary form for distribution among Texas geologists who were J-iKeiy
to contribute betterments, and N. E.-mm^L made a hand-colored copy of the
part of this work for which he is responsible, for exhibition at the
annual meeting of the Geological Society of America in December on which
occasion he will discuss "Some Problems in Texas Geology." A brief paper
on the Algonkian rocks of the Southwest (Apache, Unkar, etc.) was also
given to the Geological Society of Washington.

4

He prepared revisions for a new edition of his topographic map of
Arizona (published by the Arizona Bureau of Mines in 1923) and also trans-
mitted his topograi^iic map of Texas and two Texas quadrangles.

We hope the International Geological Congress in Washington in July
vdll give us the pleasure of seeing many of those to whom v/e are now
writing.

With uarm regards

Sincerely,

Dr« C# Hart Merriam
1919 Sixteenth St*
Washington, D. C.

My dear Dv. Merriam:

Perhaps you remember one of the graduate students you met
when you visited this museum last spring who was working on
the mammalian fauna of Idaho* I am he* I have been trying to
follow the activities of your party that collected there in
1890, but Dr* A» H* Howell informs me that the journal which
you kept is not on file with the Bureau* Could you tell me
where it is? I am trying to locate as near as possible each
of your numerous camp sites, particularly with the thought of
deteinnining the type localities of numerous mammals^ you and
others described^ in terms of present-day place names.

It may be of interest to you to know that I have been
working on that area, particularly the Snake River region,
for the past two years, and this year I plan to retrace the
route of your now historic and memorable expedition. I am
after topotypes of forms that are necessary for comparison
in my study of distribution in that area* I believe I have
pretty good evidence that the Snak^^Rly^r is the barrier that
separates the Great Basin fauna fromJ;tne Rocky Moiintains*

Have you any reprints of your 1913 article in Proc* Biol*
Soc# Wash, in which you described several Gltellus from Idaho?
If you have an exgx^ one, I certainly would appreciate receiving
a copy*

Hoping I shall have the pleasure of meeting you again
when you come West, I am

Sincerely yours.

Dear Dr. Merriam;

Dec. 31, 1920

Good progress is making on the Gilbert memoir; but on)
certain matters I am short of material. Perhaps you can help me on two
of them, "both rather intimate.

One concerns his home and family life in Washington. I know that
it "began very happily, but fear from what 1 once saw that it did not
continue so happily. My diffick^ is, what to say. I do not wish to
make rague conventional statements; nor do I wish to make any statement
that should not be made. You, who must know the facts closely, would do
me a great favor if you could indicate what you think ought to be said,
trnithf^OJLy. But I shd not wish to quote you; what goes into the mecioir
goes only over my name.

I ^now that he
I have no suffi-

Tne other matter is Gilbert's religious views.

was not a church member, nor a regular church goer ; but _._

clent statements as to his religious views. Something ought to be said
on that subject; fdr it is helpful to many others to know what so high
minded and truthful a person as Gilbert believed. If you can tell me
something on this matter the memoir will be the better for it.

Mr. Henshaw has provided a delightful sketch of Gilbert's first
years in ^irashington, when^with Howell, the three roomed together. In as
much as you probably saw Gilbert more intimately than any one else, in a
personal way, during his later years in Washington, I am still hoping
that you caji send me some "stories'* of the kind that are really helpful in

in a serious effort to give a truthful picture of an eminent man.

Mrs. Loomis and Mrs. Comstock are both helping me; from the
latter I hope to have anj^account of a Sierra excursion, Gilhert's '•one
great extravagance. "

Do not thiki(:that the memoir is to he largejr made up of contri-
hutloH from others. My own share of it will he a many -page analysis of
his scientific work, especially of his chaptrs in Wheeler's Volume III,
which are really wnderfully rich reading, more so than many of the younger
geologists now know; of his Henry mountains, in which he let hjjL^self
go, much more freely than under *heeler; and in his Lake Bonneville, the
most detailed study he made.

In reviewing his work, I am more and more pffersuaded that it wa
a heavy sacrifice for him to assume so much administrative work as Powell
placed upon him. Powell was dobhltess wise im asking aid from so wise an
assistant; hut the scientific world lost much by Gilbert's distraction
from his western work. Would that he might have continued what he began
in the C^reat Basin *

t

With cordial wishes for your Happy >Tew Year, believe me

Sincerely yours.

Dr. CJ. Hart Msrria.^,
TTashin^-ton, D.Z.

Dear Dr. Marriam:-

Having found in Santa Barbara what promises to be an ideal location
for a public museum of cosmopolitan scope, I am making or er my private collection of
birds' e^fTs and nests to a board of trustees; and ^e are incorporating under the laws of
the State of California an institution to be known as the I^useun of Conrarative Oology.
Our purpose, as indicated in the name, is to assemble for comparative study a representa-
tive collection of the nests and eg^s of the birds of the world* The obllooting of bird-
Bkins will be a necessary but strictly subordinate feature of our plans, and there will
be no other side lines. Beginning with our present very modest equipment, we shall for
the ensuing three years take care of only the naturcd increase in the collections result-
ing from field work in connection with "The Birds of Calif omia*' (now in preparation),
emd from gifts; but at the end of the three year period we shall expect to inaugurate
a campaign for endo^vment and for a group of buildings to cost about $160,000.

We are, naturally, desirous of maturing o\Ar plans under the very best auspices,
and to this end have decided to invite the cooperation of a Board of Vinitors, really a
sort of board of well-wishers, to be chosen from among our friends both East and West.
I should count it a great honor if you would bo pleased to enroll yourself in liliis list,
and I assure you that we intend a compliment rather theui any enbarrassment of responsi-
bility.

It is not at all our intention, for instance, to look to our Visitors for fi-
nancial support. Our appeal in such matters will be purely local, and we have already
the assurance of generous consideration. But we should highly prize the prestige which
your approval of our undertaking would give us; eind we feel sure that when you realize
the full possibilities of cooperation in an enterprise of this kind, you will wish to
extend us your moral support. We should like to feel that the Museiim of Con^arative
Oology might have at least second place in your affections as a repository," of birds' ogcs»
A word from you to some inquiring friend miglit start a valuable contribution of material
in our direction, or you might find pleasure in honoring our collections with your own
superfluity.

As a member of the Board of Visitors you will be very cordially welcomed at
Los Colibris (where the collections are now housed) at any time, ana the members of the
Board will be the only ones so privileged at any time - open days for the public being,
for the present, in February and March only.

May I be pardoned for adding that my own responsibility is to be increased
rather than lessened by this tremsfer to corporate ownership. As you are, doubtless, ijell
aware, an bzq collection stands in peculiar need of personal and affectionate care. No
other sort of scientific material so surely suffers from the lack of it, or from unsym-
pathetic handling. Our articles of incorporation sure such as to assure my own responsi-
ble control of the collection during life, or "usefulness*'.

Subjoined is a list of the names of those who have already aooepted position
upon our Board of Visitors, together ifith those of our looal trustees whose appointment
is of a permanent oharacter. We should be pleased to receive your permission at an
early date, as we wish to make full publio announcement of our plans at the February o
opening (Feb. 4th) . '

Thankins you for your attention, and trusting ikliat we may have an expression
of your interest in the new museum, I am

Sincerely and gratefully yours.

Dear Dr» Merriam:-

The acooinpanying letter is, save for its
concluding paragraphs, an exact copy of one sent out to
selected indi^idiials several weeks ago. At the outset I
purposely refrained from using your name in the tentative
list of Visitors proposed, because I wished to be sure that
the idea would •'take*' before putting it up to two or three
of the leaders of our profession whose sympathy I felt less
sure of (you win pardon, I trust, both my present frankness
and my original caution). But in view of the enthusias-
tic responses which have already come in, and of the sub-^
stantial character of the local support pledged, I am em-
boldened to ask your careful attention, and to bespeak the
courtesy of your endorsement, if our enterprise really
seems to you, as it does to us, to promise great usefulness.

You can readily understand, I am sure, that your name
and that of Dr. A. K. Fisher were not ••afterthoughts''; but
I did not presume to disturb your peace until such time as
we co\ild be reasonably sure of our ground. The outlook is
very flattering and Tre should be greatly pleased to present
your name on the Board of Visitors, whose membership is to
be limited to fifty.

Sincerely yours.

Dear Dr. Merriamt-

A oopy of your »ReviQw of the Grizzly

and Big Brown Bears of Iferth America* has just come to
my table; and while I cannot make the smallest preten-
sions to authority in this province myself, I hope I
may be permitted, as a layman^to record my sincere ap-
preciation of the splendid work you have done. Tou
have again sot the banner of achievement high above
all your contemporaries, and that in a field beset, I
should suppose, with unusual difficulties. The knowl-
edge that our Grizzlies have been dispersed in sepa-
rate waves, and that they now occur (where they do
occur at all) as descendants of diverse ancestral types,
is as unexpected as it is gratifying; and your master-
ly sifting and sorting of the evidence leaves little
to be desired and nothing to be doubted.
Again congratulations.,

Sincerely yours'.

Dear Doctor Merriam:

Dr. Coville has bean going over the English plant namei
used in a bulletin I have in mss* and has suggested that I
write you in regard to the vernacular name for Ceanothus proa-

tratus. We have been calling this low Pacific undershruD

^S^uaw- carpet^ in the Forest Service • Dr. Coville seems to
prefer ^Mahala-mats," and appears to have something of an
antipathy to the prefix '^ squaw" as derogatory.

I would greatly appreciate hearing from you, at your
convenience, regarding this matter, and any comments you may
have to make either as regards your personal preferences in
the matter, or as to what you deem to be prevalent current
usage in the West, will be most welcome.

Deak Sir,

We regret to say that we feel obliged to

postpone indefinitely the appearance of the first number
of the "American Ornithologist.'' This is mainly
due to the fact that many of our prominent ornithologists,
on whom we had relied for papers to give variety to the
magazine, have at this time so many engagements that
they are prevented from writing for us.

We would express our gratitude to those who have
thus far furnished contributions, and cordially thank our
many subscribers for their expressions of interest.

:^ NOV 30. 1898

Dr. 0« Hart Merriam,

1919 - 16th St., Washington, D.C.

My Dear Merriam:

I was pleased to receive your letter yesterday
morning, and found enclosed your check for the Roasted Coffee. On
the present price of t?iis Coffee you overpaid 32 cents, which I
herewith enclose in postage stamps. I shall be pleased to send
you any amount of this at any time you may desire if you find it
satisfactory.

I was very glad to hear scraps of news which you mentioned
in your letter, and also to receive the cordial greeting from Mrs*
Merriam. Please allow me to reciprocate and send Mrs. Merriam my
love.

I enclose a letter received yesterday from my brother
Walter, as you may like to learn in detail how Bachelder injured
himself by the reported fall out of the sky-light window. I also
enclose a letter from my friend, Dr. Ogden, of Milwaukee, whom you
once met, in which is a short, yet graphic description of the
capturing of a photograph to/' one of our well known Mammals. You
C6tn return this at your lei4ure.

I need hardly add again the delightful time I had during
my visit, not only in the City, but with your pleasant family.

Mrs. Deane sends her kind wishes and thanks for the cordial
invitation to visit Washington when business is a little slack. I

am

afraid if we wait for this feature of the business it will be

many mont)is before we are with you

Sincerely yours.

My dear Merriam

Always glad to get a line from you for

it always brings up old times when we had more time foi|

correspondence and swapping yarns I

I remember that you were once with Verrill,but I had

forgotten that it was back in the 70s.
I know that my sons family would be delighted to have

you drop in on them. Charlie's wife and little girl
have just gone to La Jolla for a month. Mrs Deane's sis-

ter spends the winter there and always asks them down

for a visit.

I have been feeling a bit nervious about Ridgway in

the past week. His wife wrote a few days ago that he
was quite sick with grippe and the Dr. said that his

system was in a very run down condition. I am anxious
to hear later word. When some of us get to be 75 yrs oldl
we don't want to pick up such bugs as flu and grippe, for]
you never can tell.
Poor Henry Henshaw,he was the last man I could have

picked to come to such an unfortunate ending. better be
dead. He has a brother living here and I saw him after

he had returned from Washington

where he spent a week

with Henry^ and at that time urged him to go to a
sanitarium, but he kicked strongly against it. The
Washington boys have since written me about his hav
ing developed violent symptoms and he was taken to
the St.Elizabeth' s Sanitarium^all of which you know
about.

We have had two days of storm and it takes just aboutj
that to knock out Chicago and &d9 trafic.Autos were

stalled all over the city. I suppose your "big un"
would have plowed right through the whole business.
When you motor west next time canH you park here
long enough to see something of you anij^ yours.

Harry Harris of Calif. is undertaking the writing up
a life history of Ridgway.R.R. was in full sympathy
with the scheme and sent material which would be new
stuff. I have furnished likenesses covering several

dates in his life from first plumage up. My rogues

gallery is called upon not unfrequently.At the Otta-
wa , Canada, A. O^U, they had a display of Books and Pam;

phlets written on Canadian ornithology .They called

on mm to furnish likenesses of all the authors, and I
got most of them in, though some were almost too youngl

to recognize. This collection now represents about HOC

The Library of Congress are very anxious to eventual-j
rrfst^ ^hf^rf^.' ^ S1 ncerelv

Mch.eth.19^9.

My dear Merriam

I received yours returning the letter

written by old lady Ober. Not knowing whether you were
wintering in Washington or Calif. I sent it to Richmond
who had seen one of the Ober sisters in Washington.
I am through with the letter, a subject I know little or
nothing about. If its any use to you 1^11 send it. but I
suppose you have been over the same ground many times.
I know you felt as badly as I Aid when you learned of
poor Dwight's death, but as he was doomed and a sufferer
1 suppose it was all for the best. My son Towner and his
wife who live in iNew York attended the services as did
Charlie Batchelder and wife so I heard some of the de-
tails. He was burbled in Springfield, Mass.
I had known Dwight intimately ever since he was a student

at Harvard, and many a time I have stayed at their h

ome

when I was in New York. T know I have lost one of my best'
friends.

So Pinchot is going to take A.K.and Walter down to the
south Pacific and mix then up with some of those Head-
Hun ters. It will be a prreat trip and certain one that will
appeal to A.K. I don't think he has been on the water
(except for fishing) since you took him up to Alaska

and he never published his report.

I saw Henshaw^s brother the other day. He said that the
reports which he received were that he wes in very good
physical condition and his special attendant haa him
out in the woods or motoring about the country every
pleasant day, but his memory did not improve and when
he saw him less than a year ago he did not know him.
Dr Yarrow wrote Noi^ that he thou^^ht his case was much
exagerated.He drove out to see him and he appeared
quite rational and knew him and callea his dog by name.
This was a year ago. However, he probably will never
comie out of the hospital.

Well, I suopose you put on a plug hat and with the assi
tance of an umbrella saw Herb, come in and Cal.go out.
Later on I presume you and yours will be g0ing out to
your Calif .home. Our son Charles writes that they need
more rain, in fact that is one of his very frequent re-
marks. I" suppose that E.W.N, is still in ,or rather on
his ranch. I am glad that he is wise enough not to sub-
ject fiimself to any more eastern winters. His last sick-
nesses were of too serious a nature.

I hope to get my trout fishing May 1st. for I have not
missed stepping into the Au Sable river in iVlich.for 18

consecutive years. We usually snend 10 weeks

on the

Maine coast. Best wishes.

Sincerely

My dear Merrieun \X

I forgot to say in my recent letter

that if you have a copy to spare of your introduc-
tion it would be much appreciated by my friend

W.B.Mershon,2d.Natl.Bank Bldg. Saginaw,Mich.
Of course Mershon will have "The Wilderness of

Denali" as soon as published. I inquired today
and found it would not be on the market before

some time in April. I suppose the book has been
worked up from manuscript which he left.
I heard a lecture yesterday of two hours on the
recent Pinchot Expedition. The pictures were won-
derful and of course A.K.figured in some of them

Dear Doctor:

I remember when I saw you last that you expressed
a desire sometime in the future of again visiting this section.

In connection with our work here, it has transpired that
the members of the Iroquois League, that is, the Ononadagas,
Mohawks, Seneoas, Cayugas, Oneidas, Tuscaroras, propose to oome
up here and hold some dedicatory exercises on the 26th of June*

As I understand it, the chiefs etc., are going to appear
in their native costumes and are to bring with them from their
reservations, the treaty wamp\ira belts which have not left the
boundaries of the same since the days of George Washington. The
program of this event I enclose and I was wondering if aroxmd that
date you would care to make this visit and take in the performance,
knowing you to be interested generally in any affairs in which our
aboriginal inhabitants figure*

I think this will be a genuine proposition as the chiefs of
the different tribes are looking on the event from a serious stand
point •

With best remembrances to your family, I remain.

Very sincerely yoiirs,

SIXTY-NINTH YEAR

Thi3 Week at Okara Park in|

Ga-wan-ka Near

Theiidar^

Thendara, June 23.— Peaple from
all parts of New York State, as well
as from the entire Adirondacks, will
•gather at Okara Park on the state
highway two and a half miles west of
Thendara Saturday for the dedication
of Ga-wan-ka tHe n^wly opened section
of 17,000 acres by chiefs, matrons and
warriors of the Iroquois.

Ga-wan-ka is an Iroquois word
meaning playground and is applied to
the entire section formerly known as
the de Camp estate, , and which has
been opened to the public for the first
I time this year after 50 years of cloture.
The entire block is to stand, as a per-
manent memorial to the League of the
Iroquois which once ruled New York
State.

Some time ago the matter was pre-
sented to the supreme council of the
Six Nations at Onondaga and chiefs
were sent to visit and inspect Ga-wan-
ka. Their report to the Long House
was such that there was called for the
first time in the hjstofy of New York
State since the signing of the Great
Treaty with George Washington, a
council of the Iroquois not on any
reservation.

In council the chiefs of the Onon-
dagas, Senecas, TUscaroras, Mohawks,
Oneidas and Cayugas voted for the
great council fire at Okara, and last
Saturday runners bearing the white
wampum strings that h^ve summoned
the Indians to council for the last
thousand years, went out from Onon-
daga to the various council fires of
the New York State reservations.

Afi a result there will travel from
Onondaga Reservation near Syracuse
to Thendara ,Friday one of the most
unusual processions in tht >i 'story of
white man gr red In theliate^of New
York. Clad in their ceremonial cos-
tumes more than IQO -chiefs, matrons
and warriors of the ^ix Nations will
journed to the "Edgje of the Woods"
I' where the great council fird is to be
lighted on the following day. During
their stay at Okara Park the Indians
will be housed in the temporary con-
struction camp at Ga-wan-ka, Inc.

It will be the first time in history
that the members of the Iroquois
League have traveled to council by
automobile. More than that the oc-
casion will mark the first gathering of
the Indians of New York State to ded-
icate any permanent memorial to
their great dead. The Indidn name
for the ceremony is Ne to ne yo dik a
gwe whand6 a ska ga choonk, which
translated ipeans, "So that the Great
Dead May Be Remembered /Forever."
Saturday morning it is probable that
the Indians will hold some religious
rites in a ptlvate way. No religious
exercises are held by the Indians after
noon as their belief is that the ear
of the Great Spirit is close to his chil-
dren in the moi^itlrtg hours.

The program for Saturday after-
noon is as follows:

Pageant of the Six Nations, Tribes
appear in order of precedence; invo-
cation (in Iroquois) by the High Priest
of the Six Natiohs; assembling of the
Council; "A Message from Un-Un-Da-
Da-G^s (Gtica)," Mayor James Kee-
gan O'Connor, Mayor of the City of
Utica, and Past Great Sachem of the
Great Council of New York State, Im-
proved Order of Red Men; Indian
chant with drums; For the State, Hon.
C. R. Pettis, Division of Forests and
I^n-ds Conservation Commission and
Representing the Governor of the
State of New York; Indian chant with
drums; "The Heritage," Hon. Homer
P. Snyder of Little Falls, Chairman
of the Committee on Indian Affairs.
House of Representatives; Reply for
the Six Nations, Chief Jesse Lyones
(Onondaga), Representing the Su-
preme Council; Exhibition and Ex-
planation of Treaty Wampum by Chief
Lyons; Formal Presentation of the
Matter to the Council (in Iroquois)
followed by the Ceremonial Rites of
the Six Nations; flinal invocation (in
Iroquois).

4 p. m.— "Wat ga dek ka," "This is
the line." Marking of the boundary
lines of Ga-Wan-Ka by chiefs of the
Six Nations at Okara Park, McKeever
Highway. Little Moose Road and Eagle
Bay Road, with stone pile monuments.

5 and 7 p. m. — Band concerts at Old
Forge, with greeting to the chiefs.

7 p. m. — Feast of welcome by the
village. of Old Forge to the Indian vis-
itors, at State Park, followed by fire
dance.

Pale Faces to Observe

Treaties

Saturday was one of the red letter
days in the history of Thendara and
Old Forge. For a number of weeks
preparations have been made to en-
tertain a council of the Six Nations of
the Iroquois League of Indians at. the
dedication of Ga-Wan-Ka, which is to
be a permanent memorial to tne Iro-
quois. The program in which about
75 Indians participated lasted proity
well through the day and was of un-
usual interest to hundreds of spec-
tators who had motored into the A»Ji-
rondacks to witness the unusual event.
The principal part of the program
was given in the afternoon at O Kara
When Congressman Homer P. S|iyaer,
chairman of the Committee on Indian
Affairs, addressed the Indians. The
assembly somewhat represented an
old-time gathering of settlers and In-
dians- for treaty purposes, only some-
what modernized by the latest modes
of wearing apparel, and of course the
automobiles, which were present in
large numbers, robbed the scene of the
old time historic setting.

Dr. Robert E. Lindsay ot Old Forge
opened the program of speechmaking,
and then introduced Mayor James K.
O'Connor of Utica, who extended a
greeting to the redskins and told them
Utica's part in the history of the In-
dian. Continuing, the mayor said:
"The white man, in his greed to pos-
sess, shoved aside the Indians and too
often violated the treaties he had
made. The original league of the Iro-
quois was readily, we claim, the pat-
tern after which the United States
goverpment was founded. That was
the first Republican institution found-
ed on these shores and has been
taken by the white man in his desire
to govern himself."

Congressman Snyder said that tne
national government spends $15,000,-
000 a year in caring for the Indians
with the ultimate aim pf making them
citizens. "The restricted Indian does
not want to become a citizen," said
the congressman, "because he does
not want to become a taxpayer." Mr.
Snyder said there is much inefficiency
among aged employes in the govern- ^
ment service who will eventually be
removed by the Civil Service retire-
ment bill recently passed by Congress,
thus making place for young energetic
workers who will give a fair'return for
the salaries they receive. Mr. Snyder
declared that one of his principal ef-
,forts is to put the Indian service on a
basis of business like efficiency.

Chief Jesse Lyons who acted as
spokesman for the Six Nations made a
point of the fact that his race con-
stitutes the only real Americans and
he declared that aliens come to this
country, reap its benefits and return
home with many good American dol-
lars. He pointed to old treaties with
the white man which, he claimed,
should assure the Indian complete in-
dependence in the management of his
affairs. Lyons claimed that his people
should have more land for the;r reser-
vations. During his speech he dis-
played and explained the treaty wam-
pum of the Six Nations.

Chief Lyons proved himself to be
an excellent orator, full of the sa-
gacity which has always been accept-
ed as being characteristic of Indian
chiefs in council. Among other things
he declared that it did not seem to
him to be fair that the Indians, the
original owners of the land, should
. be pushed out of their native forest
homes where hunting and fishing,
which has always been the chief re-
creation of his race, abounds, to a
limited reservation where cotton-tail-
ed rabbits are the largest game avail-
able and where an Indian cannot se-
cure a mess of frogs legs without
stealing over the barriers imposed
upon them. He declared that city
hunters came within their reserva-
tion to kill even their cotton-tails,
while the Indian is not permitted to
go into the big woods even for a sin-
gle deer. He cited many interesting
facts of Indian lore and in the eve-
ning had his braves give their dances
and other rituals on the lawn of the
Forge House at Old Forge in true In-
dian fashion.

My dear Doctor:

I wrote that boy of mine suggesting^ that he get into
contact with I-r. Loye Miller , along the lines that you outlined,
and also mentioned the opportunity for a proposed trip with you
in some of your field work, which you suggested. I have, receivf^d
a response from him under date of the 13th., and he seens rather
over-wrought with the possibility of having such an opportunity
open for him, but is a little puzzled as to how to fit in the time
to jibe with the plans his mother has made for the summer and
states that he is going to write you in regard to it. He winds
up with a clause (l wish also that you would thank him for me, as
I am totally unable to express my gratitude properly). In this
regard he should train himself more effectively, but if you can
see your way to take him on such a trip, not only himself, but J
shall be extremely pleased, as he needs that outdoor, next to the
ground contact more than anything.

Up here the thermometer has been playinp: around twenty
or thirty below zero for the last three or four mornings and to-
day we are in the middle of a regular blizzard.

Dear Hart :

Upon my return here I find your letter of the 21st, and an
ver^'' glad to hear from you.

As far as that outfit of mine is concerned, I have received
a long letter from Sprague, dated Sept. 6th, from 6617 Leland Viay,
Hollywood, Gal., re-counting his adventures and experiences on that
Alaskan trip, but does not mention finding any letter from you on his
return to Hollywood. Possibly that letter may have mis -carried.

I note you say you enclose copy of letter which you sent un-
der date of July 26th., but that must have been mis-placed as it was
not enclosed.

Sprague's school started September 8th. so I presume he has
been busy since that time.

The summer up here has been very cold and v;et , extremely un-
satisfactory from the resort business point of view. I am now in the
m.idst of getting ready to go again into the lumber game. The manufact-
ure of the hardwood in this section appears to show as re-munerative a
return as we could expect in the old days from the spruce and hemlock.
All of the virgin hardwood throughout this Adirondack section is dying
so it had better be cut and salvaged while possible. My explanation of
this condition is that ttee old hardwood trees having grown up in a mixed
foreit of hardwood and conifer, when the soft wood has been removed, the
early spring sun beats down through the bare branches of the remaining
hardwood and so starts the sap in them upifard earlier then had formerly
been the case, when tree trunks had been shaded by the interspersed spruce
and hemlock, thereeCCter severe cold snaps tend to freeze this sap and split
the bark which after a few ye'-^rs of this kind of process, kills the tree.

You doubtless have heard that Clint passed on about two v/eeks
ago. I had heard of his mis -fortune and personally think under the cir-
cumstances that he has been fortunate.

\Then do you expect again to return into the east , or will you
stay in California throughout the ye^ar?

Dear Hartt

April 10,1934.

Some days ago I wrote your better-half expecting
that I would be called to Washington and, as it were, tentatively tried
to wish myself on her as a guest during such a visit, if and when I
should appear. I am very much afraid that I will be xinable to get to
Washington before your departure to the Coast now, but certainly trust
that this comauni cation will reach you before you leave*

Would you help me out in the following matter • I
find that the National Park Service, whenever a proposal is nade to
establish a National i^ark, at once ask the question? " What outstanding
feature have you in that section?" Do you not yourself consider that
the Adirondack area, that part within the old blue line, so called^
State Park of about 4,000,000. acres comprised in the Adirondack plateau
at an average elevation of about 1600 to 1700 feet, arising, as it were,
almost from sea level, boimded by Lake Chaii5)lain on the east - the St.
Lawrence on the north - the Black and Mohawk Rivers on the west and south,
is a unique outstanding geographical feature of the United States? It is
not a part, nor was it ev r a part, of the Appalachian Mountain range which
starts in southern New lork and Jt'ennsylvania and runs southwesterly into
Georgia and Alabama. It is an isolated plateau stuck right up in the
northeast corner of New xork State and because it is so filled with lakes,
streams, mountains and a complete forested area I don't know of any area
in the entire United States which possesses these characteristics and if
that is the case would it not be an unusual and unique geographical feature
of the entire country's land area?

If you have left Washington and this letter follows you
through to the Coast would you be kind enough to reply thereto, at once, by
airmail.

Thanking you in advance and with kindest regards to your
better-half and yourself, I am

Sincerely yours.

Dear Harts

With further reference to your letter of April 22nd«

As the political complexion of Washington cheinges every
four years and idiile in scientific circles in that town your name is
known far and wide, in using your opinion as expressed in that letter
I would like to be able to add the following, but am writing you to
be sure that ray statements are correct.

Dr. Merriam was for many years head of the Biological
Survey. He was also Director of the National Geographic Magazine
and is now Research Associate of the Smithsonian Institution and is
without doubt the man best qualified and with the most intimate and
personal knowledge of all the National Parks throughout the United
States to pass upon the desirabilities of any section. v

If you could give me any further data and information
that I can use as to your own activities and accomplishments so that
I could hit the gentleman with both barrels, giving weight to your
opinion, I should be glad to receive it.

I know that you were up in New York a year ago this
winter to receive eulogiums and medals for scientific accomplishments.
Could you give me a little more dope on that?

This continued draught has again started up our periodic
forest fires and while I personally have not been affected as yet, north
of here, around Saranac and that section, there have been some very
severe ones.

I enclosed self addressed eiil air mail stamped envelope
for reply.

Thank you very much indeed for your full and complete
setting forth of the information which I desired. This may help us
considerably on the enterprise v^e have in mind.

Do not make too many of those long trips and tell
Elizabeth to see to it that you always have a chauffeur.

Up here it is hot, although this mountain country
is a contrast to the temperatures down the valley, around Utica and
thereabouts.

Bsar Sir,

I r#ci#v«d a letter from ray fathtr the other day, stating that
he had had several conversations with you while Jie was in Washing-
ton. He states that you suggested ray accorapanying you on one of
your trips among the California Indians. Now, what "boy is there
with scientific aspirations but who would Jump at the chance? He
also says that these trips take from ten days to two weeks and that
you would like to know when my Easter and summer vacations are.
My 3aster vacation is April 12 - 20 inclusive, nine days altogether.
If that is not long enough ray summer vacation begins June 27, but
we are going on a trip to Alaska and as it is with some very dear
friends of ours whom we have not seen for quite a while I naturally
do not want to miss it. However, there have been no plans made as '
yet, and as there will probably be several weeks left over, it would
be quite possible to place the trip with you at one end of the va«
cation and the Alaska trip at the other. It would under no circum-
stances be possible to quit scjjbol for a length of time, as I am
taking a special double Chemistry class where evijjr day counts as
two. Dr. Merriam, words cannot express wy gratitude to you. it is
the chance of a lifetime. By the way, the summer vacation ends about
September 10,

Also thank you for the suggestion regarding ISr. Miller, although
I have not looked him up yet.

If it is convenient, I wish that you would obtain and send to
me a list of the publications of the National Museum, especially

1 f

on Mammalology and V«rt«bstte Paleontology.

Please write me stating when this Indian trip project would
be convenient for you. I am looking forward to it and to meeting

you

My l§»t letter wae written to you before yours arrived. It
got here this afternoon.

According to your letter, collecting is the most important thing
for a beginner in Zoology, Unfortunately, this particuliJ: section
of California is growing with a remarkable and (unless you are a
real-*ee^ate man) unpleasant rapidity. All over the hills around here
you can see cities with streets, sewers^ and telephone-poles, in
fact, everything a city should have except houses. The result is
you have to journey a considerable dftance to see even a gopher.
The fauna of Leland Way consists almost entirely of Felis domesti-
cus, Canis familiuris, and Gallus ferr\Agineus, The only animal I
have had a chance to try my aged ,22 on was a rat I cornered in
the pantry, and as when dead his hide (and inoidertaly the pantry
floor) Was full of bullet-»holes and his tail was blown in half,
he was hardly in condition for preservation. Besides, I doubt wheth-
er my mother would have encouraged, this piece of amateur taxidermy
anyhow.

As for other collections, I have back Sast a fair collection

from Florida
of she lis ,|y albeit somewhat csin^ged in transportation; also several

pieces of rock with fossils from Whitestone Gulch, IJ. Y, ; and out

here several fragments of bone from Rancho la Brea and a number

of fossil plants. At present my collecting is along a cheap, simple,

and enjoyable line, namely photographs. I am enclosing one of a

kerbau taken last summer in Hawaii. (Incidentaly to get near the

brute I had to go though a slaughter-house, climb over several fen-

cts, irrlgMtion ditches, etc., and face ecveral mont unprtpoeeselng
doge.) Unfortimately there hae not been much In ^he Natural History
line besides Zoos and ostrich-farms to photograph.

My first experiments in Zoology were a number of years ago,
and I admit that they were not prompted by an especial love of Ka-
tiire. They consisted of placing in a large fruit-jar half a dozen
tiger beetles and about ten large black wood-ants, and awaiting
deYelopiiiwnts. At the end of twenty minutes the jar would be littered
with the legs, heads, and other pieces of the combatants.

AS for my Biological leanings being inspired by a desire to
see the wild and wooljy West, I may state that while I enjoy tra-
veiling very much, I have no craving to have my health interfered
with by bandits, Indians, or other reptiles. To me the wilder the
country the less collecting and observing will be done.

I have already stated that I would like pamphlets in the Zool-
ogy and Vertebrate Paleontology, especially the larger Pleistoce^ne
Mammals and large Mammals of to-day. I would particularly like to
obtain a good photograph of the White Rhinoceros group in the Ha-
tional Museum.

My mother says the you are trying to dicourage me because rea-
ding is about tbe best thAng I do. Also I will drop a line to Pro-
fessor Miller. I had some trouble finding him in the telephone di-
rectory,^as there are more Millers than there are Smiths, which
is saying quite something, in the meanwhile I am awaiting yoxir an-

swer.

Yours Sincerely,

O pn^a^az de ^a^mjp

Dtar Dr. Mtrrlam.

I received your letter of the 29th thie afternoon and there
are several rather eurprlsing things that will stand correction.
In the first place, I did not say that I thought you were trying
to discourage me, but thstt my mother said so. I did not think that
you were by any means and 1 was not intending to be discouraged
anyway. Again when I said that about bandits, etc., I was merely
referring to what you said about young men who thought they wanted
to be naturalists. I meant that they did not hold any great fascin-
ation for me in themselves, although I would hold no violent objec-
tion to them if the;/ were necessary to the business. As for reptileSi
I meant human ones when I spoke. Natural reptiles, especially snakes,
I like and consider very interesting company, i have no objection
to the American Indinn race; in fact I consider them as a most praise-
worthy and interesting people. I simply would not go poking arounft
with the express purpose of getting myself laid up in the hospital.
And if by rough country you mean simply that in which one is re-
quired to obtain and cook one*s own food, then indeed you mistake
my meaning. There is no place I like better than where things are
as they were originally. And I would not study for the ministry
under any circumstances.

I have written to Professor Mtller but as we go to press I
am still waiting for a peply. Possibly he is not horae at present.

Yours sincerely,

Washington, D, C,

D#ar Dr^' M#rriam.;

I have been rtceiving a stream of pamphlets for

days. Thank you very much for them. 1 had no idea there were »o

«

many epocleB of beare, thinking that there were but four ot five

kinds in Horth Afnerica; the blaak, grizzly. Alaskan, glacier, and
polar*

I have been to see Professor Miller, and he is all that you
said ftf him and more. I had implicit confidence in him as soon as
I heard his voice over the telephone. He advised me to take the
broadf^et kind of a course poscible in high school and not to spe-
cialize too much even in college. He had me call on him at the Umi-

i verslty and we discussed everything from coll^g<? o:>urces to the

)

♦ conscrvaticr of gor:^llas.

Our Alaska trip is all planned and we will leave June 39 and
get back August 16. I expect to try nnd do sorne real anir.ml photog-
raphy thin Reason,

Yours sincerely.
