Howard Berger family at Oakwood Park, Syracuse. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Bell of Riverdale, Illinois were also guests.

The Heckamans and Mr. and Mrs Dale Mikel and Gina of Osceola visited Sunday evening in the Robert Messner home near Waterford. - Tales From A 'Long Bow TRADERS AND AGENTS Federal Indian Agenis were the responsible officials in these parts to oversee Indians in the years following the Treaty of Greenville : (1795). j As time went on their jobs became purely political, lucrative and ! smelled to high heaven because of | opportunities for making BIG money. ) Indian agents licensed traders and settled their claims and disputes, enforced regulations, disbursed federal funds for improvements and punished unruly Indians who broke treaties and federal laws. They also had the ticklish job of trying to get natives to sell their lands and move out of here. > The story of Agents and Indian relations in the midwest is a sordid and corrupt one— unbelievably depraved and base, worse than the Far West Indian Agent who is often called the villain of T.V. shows today. Cessions were made by Indians (for great considerations of course) by treaties of many kinds and dates, the largest in Indiana being that of 1818 when about a third of our state was involved. William Wells, John Hayes and John Johnson were early agents at Fort Wayne, beginning about 1798. John Tipton was the last Agsrft there, removing the agency, midst loud outcries, to Logansport in 1831. Tipton’s salary was sl, 200.00 per year but he became very wealthy on side deals. In 1824 federal annuities were paid in the following amounts: Miami 700.00. By this date they were in a very sad condition having been recipients of “welfare” for years and not inclined to work in any manner. Haughty, proud, brawling, depraved, drunken and lazy they numbered less than 2,500 souls. Traders for furs among them began to change their own means of livelihood when game got scarce. They began selling necessities and non-necessities to the natives all year long, on credit, then collected when annuities were distributed by the Federal Indian Agents each year. Traders deliberately kept Indians in constant debt and sold to them at exorbitant prices. Agents

saw to it that traders were paid first on Annuity Day and anything left over went to the Indians. A terrible system and one which encouraged Agents themselves to get into this vile and lucrative trade in some manner. It was not difficult. “Annuity Day” was JHE big day on the frontier, as can be imagined. Traders were there for their money and with much more trade goods to sell Indians were there, living it up and* rich for the day. As soon as the Agent got everyone paid, traders opened their stocks and wares and got the ignorant Indians hopelessly in debt for the coming year. Everyone got sodden drunk. Over the years, as government largess proved inadequate to satisfy desires (not the need) of Indians they iound ready allies among the traders and Indian Agents for increased government “welfare”. Increases were regularly made and worse the Federal Indian Department regularly allowed Indian Agents to overdraw their budgets! Big Hoosier traders along the upper Wabash were Alexis Coquillard (King of the Pottawatomi), Hyacinthe Lasselle, William G. and George W. Ewing, Francois Comparet, Abel C. Pepper and Agent John Tipton. By 1826 the northern third of Indiana contained a relatively few Indians sitting on the richest soil to be found in America; To the south the state was populated by over 300,000 white people who were looking enviously at unproductive Indian land and getting pretty well fed up with ment handouts to lazy, dirty, unappreciative savages (and traders and Agents). . a Whites wanted and needed the land and Indians had to go there was no other way; Traders got the Indians deeply in debt and kept them there. When it came time (which was regular) for Indians to “cede” more land> to whites the deals were consummated by commissions appointed by the government. Commissioners, Chiefs, influential Indians, traders and Indian Agents connived to get all they could from each other with taxpayers holding the sack.

The system was pure collusion. Before the treaty was held, chiefs were taken care of with handsome grants of land which they in turn deeded parts thereof to Agents and traders. The tribes received increased annuities and large donations of cash and goods. A few days with liquor barrels handy (out in the woods, to be sure) got the savages in a mood to be most generous with all they had in the world land. Aside from the most valuable lands which went to chiefs, Agents and traders, it all went to the federal government to be sold at auction to highest bidders. The okapi, often called a living fossil, and only recently discovered in Africa, has a skeleton identical to the samotherian, a native of Crete, some 8 to 10 million years ago, and a two-foot long tongue, the body of an antelope, the hooves of an ox, the legs of a zebra, the head of a giraffe, and the neck of a horse. The “wal” of walnut comes from the Teutonic “wahl” meaning foreign. Thus, they are really “foreign nuts”.
