Show Trraoolon, Utah Th LEADER Thuridar. Aprtl 9. 1384 I) Efectricitj.NowintheFour Corners In the awesome canyon land of Utah's Four Corner area, the contrast of TV antennas sprouting from the tops of the ancient, homely Indian bogans is jolting. It's one of the new jarring notes in this land where the Indian traditional black-hatte- d for centuries has stoically tended his flock. Now, new wealth from mineral and oil royalties have wrought changes for the Indian, most of it involving material things. Not the least of these changes is the introduction of electricity this month by Utah Power & Light Co. to some 50 Indian families of the Ute Mountain tribe. They live in a recently houscompleted ing development spread out along State Highway 47, 12 miles south of Blanding. And while enjoying the convenience and pleasure of their new ranges, fry pans, TV sets, the Utes enjoy them in their own unique way. For example, in one of the development's pastel painted, four room houses, a Ute family shares a $900 combination colored TV set with a couple of orphaned kids baby goats, that is.

He is Frank Beason, local representative for Utah Power and Light at Blanding, called the "Electric Man" by the Utes. "The Indians," Frank says, "think I get the money they pay for electric service. They expect TV servicing, bulb replacement, appliance repair and other minor trouble shooting. They don't understand that the company's responsibility ends with, furnishing power. I help them when, and, if I can to avoid misunderstandings and, of course, to save them time and money involved in tribal-sponsor- - Freak of Nature Two Head Calf A two headed calf was born the Floyd W.

When they say .tomorrow, its means tomorrow, the next day, or the next, or some day in the future. Many of this clan near Blanding are the children of members of a Ute band who took part in the nation's last recorded Indian raid on a white community. It occurred in 1923 at Blanding when several renegade Indians under the leadership of Chief Posey raided the isolated town after a white-India-n dispute over cattle ownership. The Indians claim the raid was precipitated by a surprise attack by a posse of headed by a U. S. cowboys Marshall seeking two wanted Indians. No attempt was made, they say, to negotiate a surrender of wanted bucks. The Utes bear such names as Adeline Chris Lehi, Eyetoo, Pochief Mike, McKean Posey, Molly Deer, Chester Cantsee. They still live within the framework of ancient customs accepting some of the white man's ways, rejecting others. The Ute will seek medical help from a doctor, clinic or hospital, t ut turns first to the "sing" of a medicine man. He hangs pictures of Christ and of Christian religious subjects in his home, but also worships a sun god and participates in traditional religious ceremonies including the "native American church's" use of peyoti - a dream inducing substance produced by a species of cactus. All in all, the Ute Indian remains a paradox to the white man. For example, how do you explain the reasoning of the Indian who equips his home with bathtub and sinks, yet has no plumbing or water supply except a large cannister outside his home where water is kept for drinking and "cooking. Or how do you explain an Indian's abandonment of a home, costing several thousand dollars, after a death occurs in it: his superstitious aversion toward twin children that frequently leads to the parental abandonment of twins. "Don't attempt to explain the Indian in terms of our values or philosophies," a long-tim- e trading post owner advises. "The Ute with other Indians of the. area, is still rooted to his culture,, and k the isolation and too frequent unequitable treat- - " ment handed him by whites have made him cling to his own ways and kind." "His acceptance of our culture and his understanding of our economy has picked up with terrific acceleration in the last few years. With new highways cutting the isolation barrier and exposure to more educational opportunities, I it will move faster in the years ahead." happy-go-luck- y sus-IHH- .-t Mr. and Mrs. DeLon Stokes and family were dinner t'utsts Sunday at the home of Mrs. Polly Smith.
