Siouxcarried with them the American flag, and bore a recommendation * The machine is thus described hf its inventor : The whole machinery consists of a shaft about eighteen inclies long, placed on gudg-eons, one in the axle-tree of the wagon, near which are six arms placed at equal distancesaround it, and in which a cog works which is fastened on the hub of the wagon wheel,turning the shaft once around at every revolution of the wagon wheel. The upper gudg-eon plays in a piece of wood nailed to the wagon box, and near this gudgeon, on the shaft,a screw is cut. The shaft lays at an angle of 45 degrees. In this screw a wheel workson an axle (fixed in the side of the wagon) of 60 cogs, and which makes one revolutionfor each mile traveled. In the shaft on which this wheel runs four cogs are cut on theforepart, which plays in another wheel of 40 cogs, which shows the miles and quarters ofmiles up to ten miles. The box incasing the whole is 18 inches long, 15 inches high and3 inches ^5fei^ HISTORY OF UTAH. 311 written in French, from a Mr. Papan, agent of the American FurCompany.
