While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!

Kalispel war chief who acquired considerable notoriety as a leader in
battle. He was born in 1799 and died in 1882 at the Flathead agency, Mont. (C.
T.)
Etsowish - simmegee - itshin (grizzly-bear standing). A
Kalispel chief in the first half of the 19th century, baptized by Father De Smet
about 1842 or 1843 under the name Loyola, by which name he was known to the
whites. His early history is not known, but he was distinguished in his later
years for his firm adherence to the Roman Catholic religion and his zealous
efforts to lead his people to ob serve the teachings of the missionaries and the
services and ordinances of the church. Although strict in repressing disorder,
Loyola was highly regarded by his people, who regarded him as a father. He died
Apr. 6, 1854, and was succeeded by Victor Alamiken, distinct from Victor of the
Flathead (Salish) tribe of about the same period. (C. T. )
