ton Greek claims. The land in ques-
ton is strip about six miles wide
running east and west along the es-
tablished boundary of the Flathead
Indian reservation and which was
supposed by the Indians to be includ-
ed in the reserve until the final sur
vey was made. A number of ranch
ers squatted on the land, but the In
dams claimed the ground. One en-
tire township is involved. The Proc
tor contest will be pushed to a settle
ment and the result will be a prece-
dent for deciding numerous other con-
tests on land in the same locality.

BURD REFUSES TO PAY.

An answer to the complaint in the
case of the Conrad National Bank VS.
Levi J. Burd, an Indian, was filed
with the clerk of the district court to-
day. Burd, among other things
claims that he does not owe the
amount claimed by the bank, or any
other amount, as he has never receiv-
ed the total consideration for which
he made the note to Haggerty. Burd
negotiated for 80 head of cattle, agree
ing to pay $1,000 for the same. He
alleges that he has never received
but 40 head and for these he has a
credit of $500 and an additional credit
of 1925. The note he claims through
his attorneys was non-negotiable and
the Conrad bank had full knowledge of
it's conditions when it received the
note.

The faculty of having ones mind
pigeonholed is OF great value. Some
people have their mental bookcases
and storerooms piled up with a mass
Of material, all valuable perhaps in
its way, but jumbled up and piled to-
gether so that when any one thing is
wanted it is not to be had without
overhauling ten times as much other
material, which. however valuable it
may be In itself, has no particular use
at the moment of search. Other peo-

particular fact or fancy at moments

gone into detail TO convince the
president that certain federal offic-
ials whom he named were using their
offices to promote the candidacy of
certain aspirants for the United
States senate to the detrfment of the
Yates-LOrimer combination. and
that in the interest of fair play and
to remain neutral the president
should give that faction the distri-
button of some of the plums.
The president gave the governor
no comfort, and the mission was a
failure. The old practice of permit
ting the congressional delegation
from Illinois TO make selections and
the senators from the state to con-
tinue to control the more prominent
federal offices will prevail. The
president told the governor that he
would insist on reserving the right
to pass upon the competency of the
candidates suggested, but that if
satisfactory men were offered they
would be appointed. The governor
is said to have directed his efforts
particularly to the shearing of Sen
ator Mason. The term of Marshal
Ames expires on the 18th instant,
and the terms of Collector Nixon and
Treasurer Williams on the Goth. He
told the president that some of
these officers were actively promot-
ing the campaign of Mr.. Mason for
reelection, and that if continued in
their present positions would be an
tagonfstic to the candidate his. fac
ton might present. These argu-
menfs were ineffective, according to
the Illinois congressman quoted, and
the governor returned home much
discomforted.

schIer and His standing.

Even though the verdict in the
Schley case should be as has been
forecasted, and not a complete yindi-
cation. ID will not hurt him in the
least. Such verdict will not lower
Schley in the estimation of the peo-
pie as a hero. Such a verdict will
never substantiate the statements
made that he is a "caitiff and
coward" What a wonder that he
did not make more errors than he
did. His enemies were not alone
from Spain. Jealous officers were
fixing pitfalls for him every day.
They interfered with his orders.
They stood in the way of his bravery
and daring and faithful adherence
TO duty, but he went about his task
giving no heed to his enemies mean
ness and displaying not the slightest
resentment. He was intent upon
avenging the destruction of the
Maine and the death of the brave fell
lows who manned that noble vessel.
He was intent upon serving his coun-
try. His enemies among his fellow
countrymen he needed not. Schley
conducted himself as nearly perfect
as human could do through ordeals
such as he faced during the Santiago
campaign. Spanish battle ships at
the bottom of the sea when the bat
tie was done were mute but cOnclu-
sive witnesses to his bravery and to
his successes in behalf of his coun-
try. If the verdict be as the press
forecasts it, Schley is as great hero
as ever. He has won a great victory
over his enemies abroad. He has
won a great victory over the enemies
at home

Pine apples.

The discovery of the pineapple, as a fruit, was coincident with the ex- ploration of South America by the Spaniards. As early as the seven- teenth century it was cultivated in Holland and in England, but it's use was confined to royalty. It's cultiva- tion in glass houses did not become common in England until the begin ming Of the eighteenth century. It is now grown by all the leading nations either in glass houses or in the open. In many instances it serves as an orna- mental plant.
 Outdoor cultivation of pjneapples in the United States dates back to 1860. According to Taylor, efforts were Iaade as early as 1850 to grow them in Florida, but for some reason they failed. It is now known that more than freedom from frost is re- qulred to grow pineapples success fully.
