American girls are too afraid to risk
their necks; that is why the circus of
today is composed in largest part of
European artists. So says Eila. Brad
na, a .beautiful Swiss girl, .who with
Fred- Xerrick, an - English rider of
note, figures ' in the Barnum & Bailey
program, and she bases her claim up
on the fact that there are few Ameri
can women In the sawdust ring today.
Almost all the circus performers are
Of foreign toirth and training accord
ing to Miss Bradna, who has been a
circus equestrienne from early girl
hood, as were her mother and grand
mother before her. . ; , . - ,
"The women in this country are too
timid to - risk their neclte, - either- on
the trapeea 01 horseback, and so they
seek positions, largely in' the ohorus
i i theatricjJ wrja.i . where they
neither progress nor ." profit toy -their
experience.
"There is more chance for promo
tion and certainly greater distinction
in being a. performer In s the circus
than in the ohorus of a musical show.
"Of course., you know many "of the
foreign women are apprenticed th the
circus work ftrom youth, and trapeze
performing and . bareback riding are
handed down from one generation to
another.
-"J advise - the woman who is -not
afraid, and I advise some of the cho
rus girls who are plodding' along' in
musical comedy with small chance of
ever getting an Important-part to give
it up -and take up the circus life.
'It pays better and " there "is plenty
of room for novelties, brains and tal
ent." , .
Redding, May 28 To correct soma
popular misconceptions regarding th
kind of a man the North American
Indian was oefore he degenerated in
consequence of his association with
the white race was the aim of the lec
ture which Dr. Charles A. Eastman, a
full blooded Sioux, gave at. the San
ford school gymnasium last Saturday
evening before a large audience which
included the pupils of the Center' and
Kldge'VpubHe schools. , -The lecturer
WorV -'a , "tribal costume of white buck
Bkin and a 'feathered ' headpiece. Dr.
Eastman asserted that in his original
state the Indian was the most spiritual
of all . the ' races,.' being' devout wor
shippers of the Great . Mystery whose
manifestations they , were seeking in
every tree flower, animal and the ris
ing and setting sun. in no sense, how
ever, were they idolators. All animals
they called-their brothers and no wild
beast everharmed' them with the ex
ception ofv'the ' grizily bear and the
grizzly ;Only in self defence, -i. The lec
turer then told a long tale of a grizzlly
which was brought up as a member
of his own family. For six years this
animal was the lecturer's playmate
and sleeping mate his .little brother
while a cub and big brother , when
grown. ' .:. v :. ;
Generosity was one of the Indian's
leading trails.-- ''If one of them return
ed from the chuse with a deer he gave
three-quarters of the venison to those
who came back empty hatided.""What
white man" would give 75 per cent, of
his wages to associates who were out
of work and make such division a reg
ular rule vof conduct In his system
of government the Indian made choice
of hia leaders solely ' on the. score of
ability. The authority 'was also divid
ed . among several soj that no 'single
leader should get the big head or liave
opportunity. ,to: commit : the abuses
Which usually accompanied the exer
cise of one man, unregulated power.
The Indian also had a philosophy of
his own which : did t not "come, from
books but. from '?, observation ; of the
nature with which -he loved on .such
intimate and friendly terms. - As an
illustration of this .Dr, Eastman told
of some of the comments made toy a
party of sixteen Dakota chiefs 4 whom
he piloted to Washington. The sight
of ; the hurrying -crowds in ; Chicago
prompted one t. of " :,tlienr. to. ; remark
"These . people do -nothing , but ; walk.
In . three . years one-third will 'have
walked themselves to ' death."; : Their
visit-to the Corcoran Gallery In Wash
ington drew out,' this y observation:
"The white man it down trees and
teaxs the face iof the 'earth. Theii-he
makes a picture of what he has de1
stroyed and admires , It although he
cared nothing for the original." : -
Physical culture and life In the open.
air upon the importance of which so
much emphasis was now being- laid
were with the ' Indian " matters '; of
Course. His fare was" simple and-, his
athletic exercises made hm '. wonder
fully hardy and .capable of perform
ing feats requiring astonishing endur
ance. . Instead o receiving a warm
bath their infants were rubbed with
snow and then, hung in a tree for a
nap. The Indian had no knowledge
of money values. - , True he made some
use of wampum asi a medium of j ex
change, but it served that purpose to
a Very limited extent - It was this dis-'
regard of . the value of money . that
largely caused the J Indian's undoing
because he. bartered his ; land for
trinkets, light colored cloths or what
ever struck his fancy, i . .
.--When the "white man came the In
dian was unselfish, religious,, brave,
loyal, truthful, abstentious, hardy and
of childlike simplicity. Association
with the white man imparted to him
the vices of cruelty, greed, intemper
ance, deceit and .other bad qualities
by which he has been mainly . hut
most unjustly Judged. J Dr.' Eastman
closed by warmly praising the Sanford
school, v especially :v commending the
varied phases of outdoor life which
was part of its system.
Following the lecture Dr, , Eastman's
daughter Irene appeared in an attrac
tive Indian costume and' sang charm
ingly, and in a voice , of : rare sweet
ness a number of songs'.one of them
in . the Indian language. " The. music
also was adopted from Indian sources.
i E. 5 P. 'Sanford, says that there; is
absolutely : no ; foundation for the ru
mors alleging that, a settlement . has
been made ,or attempted- of. the land
condemnation, suit' In- which' he - is a
respondent . He also demurs to what
has been ' printed on the subject, be
cause, as he explains. ' mention of i the
sum of $15,000 might' give rise to the
supposition that'. ' he' y stood : ready to
compromise" on that' basis. - ''Several
of my acquaintances," continued Mr.
Sanford,- "have mentioned, this . figure
and also figures considerably larger as
amounts which the" opposing parties
might properly , agree upon. To all
such suggestions I have preserved a
strictly non-committal attribute. When
overtures ; looking to ; a ;s compromise
have heen made it will be time enough
to discuss figures.. So' far there has
been nothing in- the way of such over
tures.; The water company , brought
the pending suit without even asking
me at-what price I would seu. Neither
did they make a definite offer to my
father, going only so far in this di
rection as to say what they consider
ed the. propertx worth." -. .'
, How much further the water com
pany ; intends to go in acquiring addi
tional Pleasant Valley property the
residents would very- j much like to
know,-but wilt probably not know nn
tll the "- present '- proceedings ; have
reached a final conolusion.v.. Below the
Sanford dams are two dams, one own
ed by Mr; Heggman and the other hy
Miss, Waterman, who would much re
gret their removal. ' -It is also feared
that the-flooding of the lower part of
the valley may toe a part of the pro
gram for the future. This would come
about if a dam were built at the old
sawmill site on the property of A. I
Uvermore and it is thought to 'be a
certainty that, a dam will be placed
either there or at the old paper mill
location further down, the stream.' .
A wireless telegraph apparatus was
Installed at the Sanford . School on
Monday. It is the property of Kirk
Sterne, one df .the pupils, and has been
freely exchanging messages with two
other private stations, one ' belong to
the station agent "a Bethel and the
other to J. H- Jennings, the West Red
ding merchant The apparatus will
transmit messages a distance of about
ten miles and Tecord them from a
transmission point about 200 miles
