IAEY MUST PAY TAXES
Hundreds of Cattle on the Rsser-
walton Without Right.
THERE Is MUCH EVASION
indian Agent smead Will Resist Collec-
ton From Any One He Consid-
ers . Ward OF the
Government.

Missoula. June 10.-Indian Agent
he has been to consult with the United
states attorney in regard to the tax
cases that have been attracting so much
attention for a few days. IL will be re-
membered hat the Indian agent caused
the arrest and expulsion from the reser-
walton of James Hess. the deputy treas
urer. when the latter was carrying out
his instructions as TO the collection of
the lakes assessed upon the reservation
cattle. When he nae done this the In
dian agent went to Helena to find out
whether or not he was right In the mat
ter. He has been in consultation with
the commissioners and the county at
torney and treasurer tonight and the
county officers think that their side OF
the case Is coming out all right. The
agent Is not as severe against the coun-
~ officers as he was at first and, while
the exact nature of the conference is
not known. IL Is certain that the agent
realizes that the county has some
rights in the matter.
m Mcdonald Is in from his fine
ranch at Ravalli. or Selfish. as 1t is now
called. and he expresses the opinion
that the assessment and collection of
axes that have been under considera-
ton is perfectly correct and he says
that there are hundred Of cattle that
are on the reservation without right that
ought to be taxed.
The Indian agent appeared tonight
before he commissioners with the
county attorney. The situation was dis
cussed at length. The county attorney
made several propositions to the agent
TO get the matter before the courts as
quickly as possible. The agent would
not agree to any Of them. The COM
missioners then decided to go ahead
with the collection of taxes as assessed.
W~hereupon Mr.. Smead stated his posi-
ton as follows:
Il do not wish to be understood as
opposing the collection of taxes where
they should ebe paid. All white men
on the reservation hou pay taxes. and
/ have told them so. You may go ahead
and collect from them. but | shall re-
sist the collection of taxes from anyone
whom l consider "A ward of the gov
eminent"
As the matter stands, the question to be
determined is who are wards of the gov
ernment There Is certainly much eva
sion of taxes on the reservation and the
problem OF Strengthening the matter out
is a serious one.
The ounty commissioners have been
wrestling all day with road matters and
bills. In the latter part of their work
they made some progress. but the road
problem. Is getting more N more seri-
Gus, and as fast as one road is settled
another comes up. SO that the task is
endless.

Miss Annie Peck Has stood 1900 Feet

To have stood on the summit of the
Matterhorn and waived a greeting to

of New York. who has not only scaled
the M~atterhorn. but has also climbed
OriZaba, i'm Mexico. with its is. 500 feet.
Miss Peck was born with a strong love
OF adventure, her taste as a mere cn!d
running strongly i'm the direction of
climbing. Since then she has had
many opportunities of gratifying her
peculiar within. and she has taken ad-
vantage of them all. Miss Peck is not
only an ardent mountain climber. hut
she Is "A student of art and music, and
was for several years professor of
Greek and Latin In Smith college. One
day last fall she climbed four or five
of the highest peaks in the White
Mountain range, doing the trip all
alone. During "A trip through Califor-
mia she scaled Mount Shasta's utmost
height. This ascent is said to be the
first ever performed by a m She
was then accompanied by her brother.
Her greatest feat was climbing the
Matterhorn, accompanied by two
guides. She wore canvas boomers,
thick shoes-an additional heavy layer
of leather had been laid on both sides
and the sole by the village shoemaker

inch in diameter tightly knotted

two thrown over his shoulder and held
the end toward Miss Peck i'm his left
hand. In n middle of the rope a
slim knot had been formed pulled fast
around her waist. while the second
guide. at the end of the rope. brought
up the rear. The distance was about
80 feet between each of them.
They started before daylight from the
foot of the mountain, and ere long Miss
Peck was able to look down on either
side several thousand feet. the angles
being 40 TO so degrees. At the most
dangerous part of the journey the way
was hung with ropes. the incline being
for the most part close to so degrees.

Peck stood on the summit and waved

Missouia, June 10.-John n. Daily has
come back from Plains with a ship
ment of fine cattle that he purchased
on the ranches of that section. Mr..
Daily confirms all OF the good news
that has reached here as to the condi-
tion of the farms and ranges of that
section. and says that the hay and
grain outlook there is the best that IL
has ever been. The ranges are the best
hat they have been for more than 10
years. and the cattle are in prime con
dition already. The carloads that Mr..
Daily brought in are fine animals. and
he says that another month will make
many more as good on the ranges west
OF here.

Captain Ailis of Fort Meade is here
for the purpose of condemnpg such
material as Is not worth shipping. and
they are having all sorts of bonfires at
the fort these days. A lot of good stun
Is going up in smoke. but II In not
worth the moving for the purposes OF
the government, and the department
seems to be in a big hurry to get the
fort finally abandoned and of its
hands. So the work is being crowded
along with all the speed possible and
the day Is nearing when Missoula will
see the last of its beautiful post. that
has been the pride of the city and the
admiration of every army officer who
has ever seen IL. But IL is all for the
good of Helena.

Fractured His Elho~

Missoula. June 1o.-There have been no
new developments in the McKeeyer
case. and the half-breed is still at the
county jail. where he Is likely to remain
for a few days longer. His injured
arm is badly swollen. N IL IL certain
that his elbow was fractured by the fall
that he received when the sheriff shot
his horse from under him. Tom
Charlie, the Indian who was so severely
assaulted. has not been taken into Gus
tody yet. and Frank Matt. the other
party to the outrage. is still at large.
As soon as h injured arm Is in condi-
ton 10 be dressed the fracture will be
reduced. The officers think that hey
will be able Il get the other parties
interested al soon as they want them,
and there will be no proceedings in the
case till McKeever's arm is better.

SERIOUS INJURIES.
Nut IL Ia Expected That both woodford
and Cook viii Recover.


Missoula. June l0.-The condition of
j. w. Woodford and NJ. :. Cook. who
were severely injured in the explosion
at the Nine Mile mine. is much i'm
proved tonight. and DIR. Buckley is of
the opinion that the sight of Mr.. Wood
ford viii eventually be restored. The
face and eye of that gentleman. how
ever. do not have the appearance to-
night of speedy recovery. More than
a hundred pieces of granite and bits
OF dirt were picked out of the flesh. and
some bits of rock were found in the eye
itself. Mr.. woodford was able this
afternoon TO recognize persons standing
near the bed, and the anxiety concern
ing his eyes is much abated. He is
resting with as much comfort tonight
as possible. and his speedy recovery is
looked for.
Mr.. Cooks chief injuries are to his
arms n chest. which received the
brunt Of the discharge OF the blast that
was set OF by the accidental entry of
the drill into the old load of giant
powder. His oun have been thor
oughly dressed. and are not as pain
full as they We're last night. His recov-
cry VIII be quicker than that of Mr..
Woodford. as his eyes are not injured,
and his wounds are ali in the flesh. No
bones Were broken.
