who have advanced farther than any
length of time are liable to have their
lands allotted. their funds divided. and
their government greatly changed.
The "squawmen" for too long had
flocked in, cheated the indolent full

government. The United States mas had
to step in to limit the power of the
greedy whites and half-breeds and pre-

ans Then, by territorial form of
government, which the white man is
so eager to enforce, the Indian will'be
put upon an individual basis as distin-
guished from a tribal or national one,
and the simple child of nature-fOr the
Indian is ever a child-can never cope
with the white man, nor retain lands or
funds, once divided. Where advantage
is not taken in other ways, the ever
prevalent gambling instinct will assert
itself as disastrously to him as it does
in monte games on beef-issue days out
west.
While the reservation system seems
the safest and is good economy to the
United States, instead of keeping up
standing army to fight Indians when
they go on the warpath the best-prin-
cipled and best-educated Indians de-
clare against the system. claiming it

Those who have enjoyed the charms
of the Bitter Root valley can under
stand what the Flatheads sacrificed
when they left there to make their
home on the Jocko reservation. They
had no desire to leave the Bitter Root
valley. There they had homes and
farms. schools and church-ali in a
thriving condition. But the white man
needed the land and the Indian
had to go. Governor I. I. Stew
ems. the first governor of Wash
ington territory. of which Montana was
then a part, made a treaty with all the
Montana Indians in 1855. wherein the
Pend d'Oreilles and the Flatheads agreed

the Bitter Root valley. The Flatheads
had no objection to sharing their home
with the Pend d'Oreilles, and the Pend
dOreilles were willing to have the Flat
heads live in the Mission valley, but
neither tribe wanted to be the one to
move. In 1876 another treaty was made
With the FlatheadS, when they agreed
to go to the Jocko reservation. Chariot,
the chief, refused TO sign. AS the SUBJ

We're made for the removal of the Flat

whites, Chariot never liked their man.

would adopt none of their ways. AS
the years passed on he became more
reconciled, and learned that while he
had been treated dishonesty by the
commissioners, all white men We're not
necessarily dishonest. In 1891, after the
death of Arlee, Chariot and his band
moved to the JOcko, where they live
now. The land on the Jocko is as good
for farming as that in the Bitter Root
and the Indians now have some good
farms. They are apparently quite con-

There are four settlements on the res

'Dont's' For Use in bot Weather.

Don't eat big meal, drink lot of
ice water and then 60 out in the sun.
Don't remain exposed to the sun
any longer than you can help.
Don't fail to bathe often. 1t keeps
the pores of the skin open, permitting
free perspiration.
Don't wear tight clothing, especially
around the neck and chest.
Don't use alcoholic drinks. 1t not
only induces heat prostration, but
renders recovery more difficult.
Don't drink ice water too frequently.
A warm drink will alleviate the thirst
and it is beneficial and cooling.
Don't sleep in poorly ventilated
room. Failure to follow this precept
often induces heat exhaustion.
Don't walk or work hurrledly. Take
your time in all things.
Don't exercise when overheated.

Ablaze in Mid Air.

George Devan, who gives an
athletic performance, terminating with
high dive into water after making a
long slide on an inclined wire cable,
ablaze with burning cotton, holding
only by his teeth, while he shoots
through space at the rate of a hundred
feet second, was horribly burned in
mid-air at Sunbury Saturday night.
He had given his usual athletic
exhibition and prepared to give his
sensational high dive" He covered
almost his whole body with strand
after strand of cotton saturated with
coal oil. Thinking everything was
secure the match was applied to the
cotton and he started on his perilous
ride. Hardly had he gone fifty feet
when he was brought to a standstill
with a jerk, suspended in the air
thirty feet, with the cotton rapidly
burning into his flesh. Had he gone
little farther he could have dropped
into the water, but directly under him
was crowd of fully one thousand
neople. With great presence of mind
..e climbed hand over hand on the
wire to the tree which was used as a
support, and after reaching the tree
he tore the flaming cotton from his
body and climbed to the ground.
Upon examination it was found that
he was burned almost all over the
body. Three strands of the cotton
had become broken and formed knot
in the wire, which prevented the
pulley from sliding over 1t, this caus-
ing the accident.

they were surprised upon reaching
his coffin to find nothing but piece

around the body and when the latter

chain made an indentation.
