\ WASHINGTON WRITER TELLS
STORY OF CROW BILL.
SAVED BY HIS RARE TACT
Patience and Perseverance Overcome
1 Obstacles That Caused Past
Representatives to Fail.

1t is an old story, and every one in
Montana knows the truth by this time,
still as the truth cannot be told too
often the following Washington dis
patch of recent date is Reproduced
for the purpose of letting The Ga
zette readers know how Congressman
Dixon and his work are regarded
there:
Persistence, patience, persuasion
and perseverance have characterized
the work of Montana's new congress-
man, and the value of these qualities
is very apparent when consideration
is given to the good work he has ac-
complished.
Ever since the treaty of 1899 Mon
tanas representatives have been try
ing to open the Grow reservation to
settlement, but without success The
obstacles which confronted Mr.. Dixon
when he took hold Of the work were
no less insuperable than those which
his predecessors tailed to overcome,
but he was not discouraged. He very
early secured the confidence of the
speaker and the house leaders, and
with tact and patience constantly
pressed the consideration of his two
Indian bills, two of the most import
! ant of their kind on the calendar. He
] smOothed over every rough place in
the house and secured the passage OF
both bills in that body. Then came
the rub in the senate, and herein his
rare qualities of finesse secured him
consideration with the senate leaders,
Allison and Aldridge, and Chairman
tee.
Good Friend in Bard.
Senator Bard, chairman of the sub
committee in charge of the Grow bill,
is entitled to the thanks OF every citi-
zen of Montana, for he gave this
measure as much attention as if the
reservation were a part of California,
instead of being located in a distant
state. Evening after evening at his
hotel he went over the bill in detail
with Mr.. Dixon, and at the latter's
suggestion embodied the irrigation
feature in the bill, which is destined
to promote the most substantial de-
velopment of the valley lands OF the
reservation.
Senator Gibson had to face strong
democratic opposition to the bill, and
the absence of his colleague put a
L
cooperation of Dixon in the senate
work proved Invaluable. After the
bill went back to conference Dixon
became the sole guardian of the meas
ure. With the house evincing a
spirit of rebellion against every sen
ate amendment to house bills, it re
quired infinite tact and cleverness tC
prevent disagreement, which in the
last hours of the session meant death
OF the bill. Dixon's constant attend
ance at conference meetings prevent
ed discord. He brought all factions
to an agreement and the bill was
passed.
Avoided Routine Delay.
From the house to the senate fol
President Frye's signature, then bacl
to the enrolling clerk, Dixon personal
ly took charge of the bill. From the
clerk to the president and then tt
the secretary of the interior he fol
lowed it. Then firing of the routine
delays, he got the bill into his owl
hands after it had been approved
by the secretary, and carried it tx
President Roosevelt, who immediate
ly signed it, making the bill law.
