As mention lias heon made in two
issues of tho Transportkr by Rev
JVI3. Wicks of tho propriety of hold
ing jin'indiun fair1 at this Agency
the idea strikes ine as being good
and perfectly feasible. 'The work o
organizing ;md getting up the firs!
fair will fiill mostly on the white
population of the Agency' yet I am
confident that should sWh an or-
ganization be effected anil a premium
list made 'out add the mutter ex-
plained to the Indians they woiv'd
enterinto tho work' With considerable
enthusiasm. As a great many of
our Indians have visited fairs in the
stites thev Imve very good idea of
wlijit would be expected of them.
This matter .vo'dd occupy their
minds and furnish a subject for their
talks until -next fall and this exhi-
bition would teablr'them by aircb-
ject lesson that what is worth doing
at all is worth doing well.--In a few
years the young Ohpyenneor Arnpn-
hoe (who in his savage state wrtiild
take pride in laying the fruits of the
chase at the feel bMiis '"wild prairie
ilower") will take equhl oj4de in
ploughing the straightest furrow or
drivrng fbunhorses. '-Let'thenvbrins
in thi'ir bcsL ponies their best-spans
of m'ulos their gentlest milch 'cows
and specimens of their -hand work.
Induce them to bring out ivll their
oM Indian relics and specimens
have t-honj classified arranged and
explained. -Letms take an- interest
in their curiosities 'and treasures and
by so 'doing 'narrow the gilf between
ourselves awl them an 1 graduallv
draw them forward to civilization.

Indran Inspector Benedict. wh
recently visi cd this Agency offuial
ly gives his'tvaifas h'ome ) ip-.r
the Fredoni'a Citizen a lengthy let-
ter of what-he has Fvto during his
tour of inspection of the Vv'j;encies o
far in J he Territory. 1 1 is letter is
exceedingly 'interesting describing
the lay of the country and Agencies
up to the time he left this point but
is of sirchlength th it v.y; s;i i :e will
not permit of iw publishing the en-
tire letter so we-only quote what
he says about the Cheyenne & Arapa-
hoe Indians and our Agency etc.:
"The Cheyenne Agency is .pleas-
antly located on the north side of
the river upon 'the second bottom
and Fort Kcno upon the south
crowning an elevation several feet
higher than the surrounding coun-
try. At thi Agency are located the
Cheyenne & Arapahoe Indiana com-
prising 000") people" who'are fed and
clothed by the government. The
Cheyenne Indian has never been
distinguished for his loyalty to the
white man's government and Fort
Ueno was built within a mile and a
half of the Agency to remind them
I suppose that the Great Father was
watching them. Its presence un-
doubtedly has a moral effect upon

They are superior to tho Arapahocs
