RESERVATION NEWS.


A private school has been opened on
Willow creek which is attended by sew
eral children Of the neighborhood.
The water in the oft mentioned Great
Northern we'll has been subjected to
chemical analysis, and the report says,
although it may be a specific for the
bubonic plague and ingrowing toe nails.
it is entirely unfit to boil in Jim Hills
big engines. It will corrode the bowels
of a cast iron ostrich, hence it will be
abandoned. Sunday a gang of sur
veyors were running a level from Carlow
to Willow creek near William Gilham's
ranch, and they say that a pumping
plant will be put in to supply the need
ed fluid.
The other day a stranger emerged
from an upper berth in a coal car. and
began to air his political views. He had
evidently been INDUCING in the flowing
bowl. and the effects of Slippery Bills
liquid lightning made him imagine
there was a democratic mass meeting
being held in his stomach. He ranted
and foamed at the mouth as he de-
nounced the existing conditions, when
an honest ma couldn't make a living.
but when he was offered the choice of
half a dozen jobs, he said his health was
poor and he must go to a milder climate.
Quite a number Of the young mixed
bloods OF this reservation took out life
insurance polices in the New York
Mutual Co., a year ago in sums ranging
from $1,000 to 10000. Among the num-
Der, are Chas. Devereaux, Levi Burd,
William Brown and Alex Fox all of
whom have kept their payments up.
We heard a young man who seems to
think he is strictly in it,, advocating
many changes, the other day, which he
thought would be of benefit to the
country in political sense, in fact his
voice was for reform. We think the best
kind of reform is the kind that should
begin at home. The Republican party
is perfectly competent to rightly admin
lister the affairs of this country, but to
succeed it must select good men for its
nominees in the next campaign, men who
will get there with both feet, and carry
on the business of their offices with
credit to themselves, and the people at
large.
A st. Louis Mo. paper states that the
famous scout William jackson died of
senile debility, that is to say weakness
incident to old age. We rise to remark
that to those who knew Billy in life it
would seem just as appropriate to say
that his death was occasioned by cholera
infantum or dentition, considering his
age, which was hardly past middle life.
James Walls erstwhile postal clerk at
Kipp is enjoying a leave of absence, and
has gone to Great Falls. In the mean
time Richard Croft is in charge of the
office.
Mrs. William Gillian was taken quite
seriously i'll during the past week, but
at this writing she is improving under
the skillful ministrations of DR.. Mlrtin,
a fact which her many friends will be
pleased to learn.
A cold wave of minor Importance
came this way Friday evening attended
with a slight furry of snow. Z degrees
below was registered that night, but the
next day was clear and pleasant.
The railroad men at Blackfoot do not
regard it as at all probable that there
will be a strike on the Great Northern.
But few complaints are heard, and all
seem to be in good humor.
