The Kalispell Journal says that Hon.
Charles f. Conrad and family have
returned from Washington City, where
they have spent the winter. Mr.. Conrad
says the treaty made with the Black
feet Indians for a cession of a portion
of their reservation has been incorpo-
rated in and made a part of the Indian
appropriation bill. The said bill has
passed the senate and will pass the
house before congress takes a recess
for the summer. Another Indian APP
preparation bill gives $4,000 to defray
the expenses of a commission to nego-
dams for a part of their reservation.
The republican convention of Valley
county was held at Glasgow Friday
afternoon and o. ID. Policy and Sheriff
Sid Willis were elected delegates to
the Butte convention.
The Glasgow Gazette says that Uni
ted States District Attorney Leslie
closely resembles Abraham Lincoln in
features. form and kindness of heart.
1t is not generally known but it never
theless is a fact that Mr.. Leslie was
governor of Kentucky in early days,
and had no less a distinguished person
than John G. Carlisle. now secretary Of
the treasury, for lieutenant governor of
the blue grass commonwealth.
Jimmy Douglas of Fort Benton, has
engaged in business in a modest way
in that city and his old-time friends in
Northern Montana trust that he will
reap a rich reward therefrom. Jimmy
has been a devoted resident Of the river
metropolis for a quarter of a injury.
He was there during the boom days of
steamboating, when ii was thought the
sun, moon, stars, and in fact the en-
tire universe revolved directly around
the old town. His confidence never re-
Taxed and he sneered with sublime dis
dain, in early days, when Great Falls
was founded and looked upon as a
dangerous rival of Benton. Radical
changes have occurred during the lapse
of years, but Jimmy remains the same
and has no ambition save to live in the
old town in a quiet, modest way. He
has a caustic tongue, but a great
throbbing heart, and is ever ready to
contribute part of all he has to those
less fortunate than himself. His friends
wish him merited success in his new
vocation
