THE LEONARD WOODS' ENJOY MONTH'S TRIP Returning here refreshed from a scenic and varied month's vacation were Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Woods of this city. They viewed sights in Colorado; in Texas where they stopped in San Antonio, Amarillo and Houston, and in New Mexico where they visited in Las Cruces. Changing plans of touring New Orleans, they returned here Monday. Everybody reads the Gazette. LETTER TO EDITOR TELLS OF EARLY HISTORY OF GOLDEN WEST I read with interest the columns of the Gazette, especially those recounting the early history of Anaheim and vicinity, the struggles, disappointments and progress of its settlers while still a part of Los Angeles county. Those were the days when the foundation was laid by the Orange Empire, built on the ruins of the grape industry. During that period I was pioneering in the Dakota when we were regarded as a part of the "wild and woolly" governors were supplied, "ready made," from Washington, D.C. We called them carpet-bag governors because they remained with us only during their term of office. I located in Plankinton, the county seat of Aurora county, Dakota territory in 1881. That was the same year that Sitting Bull was pardoned after an exile of nearly 5 years in Canada. He was permitted to return to the Standing Rock reservation, just west of the Missouri river where he was practically a prisoner of war notwithstanding the fact that he had been granted an unconditional pardon. He had been accused of being the leader in the Custer massacre on the Little Big Horn in Montana on June 24, 1876, but there was no positive evidence that he acted in that capacity, for there were other tribes engaged in that battle as well as the Sioux tribe. There were the Hunkpapa under Gale, the Oklallas under Crazy Horse, the Cheyennes under Two Moons and some other tribes, the names of which I fail to recall at this time that must have been in some measure responsible for that terrible tragedy, if responsibility could be attributed to the Indians. However, it seemed to the average settler, at that time, that some "red-skinned warrior" Our governors were supplied, "ready made," from Washington, D.C.

Speaker paused for a moment then said, "some in the audience are shaking their heads at me indicating that I should cut my address, but I came 3000 miles away to make this speech and I am going to make it."

In 1882, I left Plankinton located on a homestead about miles east of the Missouri river and 45 miles south east of Lower Brule Indian reservations. During my nine years residency More Growers Joining Up Now, Report Shows The Sunkist Field Service Department has just made its annual report on Exchange membership. After wading hip-deep in figures, your reporter has come up with what seems to him the most significant fact in the report. It's this: The increase this last year, while not large in acreage, was more than twice as great as the year before. Here's the first reflection of the new state of things—evidence that ceiling prices are off, that the trade and the public are getting finicky, that the cash buyers have mostly vanished over the eastern horizon, that once again citrus fruit must be sold and sold hard. What it means is that shrewd growers and forward-looking associations not affiliated with the Exchange are taking a fresh look at the Exchange method of marketing. That method—by which thousands of growers join together for efficient nationwide sales facilities, for orderly movement of fruit, for powerful advertising campaigns, for aggressive store promotion, for better utilization of products fruit and for economical purchase of supplies—is the one method geared to give a grower the best return in this new era. The post-war swing toward cooperation has only just begun. It's growing. If you're not already a member, your next sign-up period should find you, too, joining up with the Exchange.

My nine years residence "they folded their tent and quietly stole away," but in a circuitous route, avoiding the trouble zone, and in due time, my brother-in-law arrived home a much bearded young man, and other members of the surveying party dispersed until further orders from the government, but not until I had secured sufficient data from them and from reports from the reservation for an aricle for my "home town" newspaper, and here is a brief synopsis of it. Major McLaughlin, the Indian agent, notified the Indian Commissioner that the Indians were getting out of control, that they were committing some depredations in order to show their resentment toward the government's order of a survey of their land. The Indian Commissioner notified Colonel Drum at Ft. Yates 140 miles up the Missouri river, to arrest Sitting Bull; that he was inciting the Indians against the government orders. Colonel Drum ordered the Indian police, 25 or 30 of them, under Lieut. Bull Head and Sergeants Shave Head and Red Tomahawk to make the arrest. They arrived at Sitting Bull's home on Dec. 15, 1890, and notified him that he was under arrest. He submitted gracefully and without question, but as Lieut. Bull Head led him from the house, they found some of his friends had gathered and were upbraiding the Indian police for their part in the arrest of their Chief, saying that it was a shame that he had to be arrested by his own people and some very opprobious epithets were hurled back and forth that I decided would not look good in print. However, it remained for an Assinabone Indian, whom Sitting Bull had befriended, to fire the first shot, killing Lieut. Bull Head who was still ion, that most of the terrible Indian wars that blot the pages of American history were the result of the encroachment of the whites on the lands of the Indians. We may console ourselves with the thought that we have in some measure at least, reimbursed them for their loss by giving them of our advanced civilization, whether they wanted it or not, or whether they needed it or not. I use the expression "whether they need it or not" and leave my readers to judge; for it makes me think of the man whose Doctor asked him if he bathed regularly. Yes, he bathed regularly once a year, whether he needed it or not; he went in swimming every 4th of July. M. H. SHIRLEY, Rt. 2, Box 340, Anaheim. Amateur Play Contest Set A good first production and the possibility of winning $100 are the attractions Altadena's Theatre Americana offers playwrites. This non-profit community theater, in its thirteenth year, has established the Frederick Warde prize for the best original play produced each season. Dorothy Winthrop, winner of the 1946-47 award, commented on the encouragement she received from the fine production Theatre Americana gave her comedy, "Love, Honor and Away." For the 1947-48 season, Theatre Americana seeks original three act plays laid in the United States, to follow the theater's American theme. Scriffs are not eligible for the prize if they have had commercial production or brokerage listing. Previous amateur production does not invalidate an entry if the author received no royalty.

Dunbar, chief of law of Licenses. This is an increase of over the corresponding per year.

However, it remained for an Assinabone Indian, whom Sitting Bull had befriended, to fire the first shot, killing Lieut. Bull Head, who was still holding Sitting Bull by the arm. Immediately the fight was on and when the smoke of battle cleared, Sitting Bull, his 17 year old son, Crow Foot, and one half dozen of their friends were dead and about an equal number of the Indian police were dead and many were wounded. Of course, all kinds of wild stories were circulated among the settlers in nearby counties across the river and some settlers in remote or outlying districts moved into nearby towns for protection, expecting an Indian outbreak, but soon the U.S. soldiers had the situation under control and everyone relaxed; but the concensus of opinion among the settlers was that had Colonel Drum sent the U.S. soldiers to make the arrest instead of the Indian police, the result might not have been so tragic. We can readily understand the attitude of the Indians, for they had been pushed around before. And it is my individual opin- MR. AND MRS "DIICK" BRUCE HOME FROM VACATION TRIP Returning home Wednesday evening, tired but reporting a very enjoyable vacation spent at Sequoia National park, Mr. and Mrs. "Dick" Bruce reported that fish were on the evading end of the line, which must have been a disappointment for both of them especially "Dick," who boasts of his fishing prowess. Could it be that the "angler's friend" isn't living right? The firebox of a big locomotive is often large enough to hold an automobile with room to spare.

EVERY AGE HAS ITS EXCEPTIONS Because one horse was not "at its rope's end," Jesus A. Dwarte, its owner, of 316 East Elm street, was an amazed and poorer man. Both he and Vernon L. Conrad, 23, 328-A East Hillcrest drive, Fullerton, decided that there are exceptions to the machine age. Conrad, driving a pickup truck struck the horse which walked out into the street at 827 South Palm last Thursday night. The horse got up only slightly injured and walked away, but the truck, decidedly smashed, had to be hauled in. Duarte agreed to pay the damages. "You don't have to swing to kill that pesty thing!"
