Another mark of progress noticed among. . the
the Indians of the Interior is their neglect of the
old and ‘time-honored pack train. | For many
years the natives: have found this a profitable
business and one to their liking. No
white man could winter cayuses at the
same cost, nor pack an animal in the
same condition as the natives. They | :
had ‘the business practically in their
own hands and the bargains they drove with the
whites who had supplies to move where only pack
animals could go was nothing stow. What the
horses made ‘for the owners. was.al! profit as feed
was. nothing. and the Indian himéelf could live al-
‘most as cheap as the cayuse. ‘This year practical-
dy all the pack trains will'be in the hands of the
-. whites.”’ The natives have learned to drive four-
or. six-horse teams, They have bought’ wagons
