that the division will seriously affect

ANOTHER TRUST FORMED.

When the commissioner of Indian
affairs decided to make a move hav-
ing for it's object the wholesale and
immediate civilization of his wards
he probably had no idea that the re
suits would take the form they seem
Ito have assumed in the case of the
Omahas and Winnebagos and that
his famous order making patronage
of the tribal barber compulsory
would be conducive to the formation
of more trusts to further burden a
badly overridden country, but such
it seems has been the case. If other
tribes follow the example set by the
two down on the banks of the Missouri
and the collection of Indian curies is
made possible for the extremely
wealthy only, Mr.. Jones must be pre-
pared to take his share of the blame,
for his order making whitemen at one
bound of savages of copper hued

"vIEwED WITH SURPRISE"

Yellowstone Journal: For the fu-
ture welfare of the state it is sincere
ly to be hoped that the executive COM
mittee of the North Montana Roundup
association, in its report delivered
at the Helena meeting Of the associa-
ton last week, does not represent
the association at large or even the
executive committee in its saner mo-
ments. 1t almost passes belief that
any body of intelligent lei who have
had full opportunity Of observing the
extraordinary productiveness Of Mon
tana soil when reclaimed by water,
and the general facilities for such re-
clamation, should deliberately and
publicly go on record with the asser.
ton that little or nothing is to be
looked for in the way Of agricultural
development in this state. And this
too at a time when-after years of
untiring endeavor-the potent efforts
Of the government are about to be
directed toward the reclamation of
the arid west. Certainly the 'advo-
Gates of the land leasing scheme took
a step too far when they framed this
report and put it in the mouths and
over the signatures of men who have
lived in Montana long enough to know
better and who do know better. The
phraseology of it is questionable. 1t
is p~etulant in tone and almost undig.

Putting off until tomorrow what
can be done today" has an apt illustra-
ton in the loss of a United States
land Office for Billings if the report
which comes from Washington is to
be believed. Before the present SEES
sion of congress convened it was
known that the Grow reservation
treaty bill would likely become a law,
and in that event a land Office at Bill
inge should go with it. The interest
of the town in respect to the latter
for the time being was neglected, and
when the people here did move in the
matter the request reached the Mon
tant delegation at Washington rather
late to be effective this session. The
Great Fails land Office bill might just
as we'll have had as it's twin one for
a land Office for Billings.

ANOTHER WILLING MARTYR.

Great Falls Tribune: A newspaper
correspondent writing from Beyroot,
in Asiatic Turkey, to the Chicago
Chronicle, says that Miss Mary Pier
son Eddy, an American missionary
in Syria, is about to undertake q trip
to the widest part OF the Syrian ter
ritory similar to the trip Of Miss
Stone into the wilds of Bulgaria. y
Perhaps it is the notoriety gained
by Miss Stone that attracts Miss
Eddy; but in any event she will at.
tempt to penetrate the section Of
Syria which is said to be occupied by
the f1ercest and most ~fanatical tribes
Of the country. She imagines that she
has a mission Of heroism. She intends
to penetrate regions where she is
not wanted, where she can do no good,
where she will be treated as an in
truder and an enemy, where she will
be subject to capture and perhaps to
outrage.
The Turkish authorities have warn
ed Miss Eddy as they warned Miss
Stone that she cannot go on her self
appointed mission without mourning
the greatest danger, that it is without
power to insure her safety among
the semisavages who hold an attitude
of chronic rebellion against it's author
ity and who will regard her errand as
hostile.
She has been absolutely forbidden
to make the trip, although force will
not be used to prevent her from fol-
lowing her wild ~inclinations. She has
been piled with the same arguments
which Miss Stone heard and, like
Miss Stone. refused to be convinced.
Possibly after a few months we will
