Not many realize that the Indian population of North Dakota is on the increase. At Elbowoods reservation, which is located several miles southeast of Garrison, eleven hundred Redskins reside. During the year 1914, there were 52 deaths reported among the tribe and seventy births. The Indians do not take kindly to the ways of the pale-faces whom they tolerate merely because they have to. True, the younger Indians often attend Carlisle and become well educated, but they soon take up the ways of their forefathers upon their return to the reservation. One of the instructors at the reservation informs the Independent that an old Indian bought a high priced bed, but after sleeping in it a night or two, went back to his old bunk on the floor.--Minot Independent.
