The Great Northern IS laying new steel
on the Kalispell division replacing The
old rails with heavier ones weighing 80
pounds to the yard.
G. E. Westinghouse agent at Black
foot for the past eight months, notified
the company to either make a habitable
place Of the depot or send a man to take
his place. A man was sent to relieve
mir. w. but when he arrived one glance
at the lay out was enough, and he con-
tinued his journey on the same train on
which he came.
10. Kipp's wagon and blacksmith shop
is thronged with work and people are
giving him a liberal patronage Oh ac-
count of good repairing and low prices.
F. S. Goss recently expressed the Com
missioner of Indian Affairs at Washing
ton a box of potatoes weighing 3 pounds
each and some 20 pound cabbage raised
in his garden. He also employed a
photographer to take snap shots of his
growing vegetables for the same purpose
and in return got a very t1atterlng letter
from the Dig chief who no doub. thinks
that every one on the reservation should
be equally as successful in gardening.
Few have locations so we'll adapted to
growing vegetables as Mr.. Goss, and his
big yield is no criterion to go by because
where one is successful fifty Others viii
fail by reason of ~trosts.a ground squirrels,
and other drawbacks too numerous to
mention.
A. B. Coz guardian of Janet and James
Coe has by virtue OF an order Of sale
from the court sold the cattle belonging
to them to William Kipp and viii ere
long seek fresh fields and pastures rew
in a more salubrious Climate. Miss
Janet now attending school at Stannard
college Cleveland, Ohio will return to
Montana in the near future, and live
with her father and brother.
The Great Northern is making a
change in th5 manner Of its water supply
at Blackfoot. Large pipes are beng

which the water will flow by gravity and
will then be pumped by a gasoline en-
CINE into the tank. By means OF this
lnethod the man running the coal chute
will attend to both fuel and water sup
ply thus doing away with the pumper.

greatest strides In the direction of self
support SO far put in force on the reser-
Walton. So long as they could depend
upon a weekly dole OF meat and -four,
the cares of the world sat light upon "a
portion OF this class, and ttey were with
olt ambition to do any thing 10 the way
OF labor or become self susta lining.
Others were wide awake, energetic and
ambitious to succeed, and this class will
auffer nothing by the curtailment and
rom these one hears no word Of COM
plant. Now the idle improvidont class
must go to work or suffer the pangs of
hunger, and it is a s%ource.of qualification
to the industrious to know that all alike
must labor in order to keep the wolf
from the door. Happy the day when all
gratnities are stopped and the whole of
these people reliant or their own exer,
tons, become a self supporting and we'll
tn do tribe. as they may if present OPP
portunitles are taken advantage of.
Hereafter if Ole Lamb&c, wishes to
consult the weather man of this vicinity
as to the probabilities, he must approach
Patsy Higgins, hat in hand, and ask him
in p deferential manner when the next
blizzard is due, as he will manipulate
the meteorological instru ments in the
future.
Cattle are dying to some extent from
what appears to be blackleg. Those
who have dehorned their stock claim sa,
that no-losses have occurred in their
herds, and others who have used vaccine
say il stunts the growth of the i~noccula
ted animal.
All residents of this reservation hav,
been requested to report at the agency
for enrolment on the census to be tn,
basis for the future division of the re
serve. At the same time DIR. Martin al
lows none to escape vaccination, and tt
him is due the immunity from smallpo,
which this vicinity has enjoyed, while
the disease has been contiguous to tn,
