THE CROW INDIAN RESERVATION
IN MONTANA.
Great Tract Which Is to BE Thrown
Open to Settlement by the Whites,
Contains the battlefield Upon Which
Custer Fell A Rich Region.

Notwithstanding the fact that there
are 4I3,OOO,000 acres of vacant unap-
propriated land, excluding Alaska,
open for settlement, pressure is con-
stantly being brought to bear upon
Congress for the opening of lands hith-
erto set aside for the Indians. One
reservation after another is being
thrown up to settlement, the aborigin-
al occupants being given farms in sew
crafty If they desire to live the lives
Of white men, or being compelled to
take circumscribed quarters IL they
wish to live the tribal or blanket life.
Last year the greatest reservation
opening was that of the Rosebud, in
South Dakota. This summer two res
ervations will be thrown open to GER
tainty-the Crow, in Southern Mon
tana. and the Uintah in Eastern Utah.
To these will probably be added the
Wind River or Shoshone reservation,
In Wyoming. All these reservations
offer vast opportunities to the white
man. The Uintah and Wind River res
ervations are rich in minerals. but to

Women Dance for Mouse.

At exactly 9:45 o'clock Thursday
morning little brown mouse stole out
from the main corridor of the Nilsson
and Olive streets and took a short con-
stitutional of about twenty-five feet
west in Olive, says the st. Louis Post
Dispatch. In the course Of that limo
cent jaunt he frightened so many
women that feminine panic ensued
and so much screaming and scamper-
ing about was done that the mouse
started back for the more masculine
calm Of the Missouri Lincoln Trust
building.
AS he gained the entrance. however,
large and formidable-looking WON
an espied him, and with n wild shrek
and frenzied grasping of the skirts,
began executing such remarkable
dance on the sill of the big skyscraper
that the mouse lost his head and sour
ried clear across Olive street.
Arriving at the curb on the south
side, he passed under carriage from
which two women We're alighting and
emerged on the sidewalk simultane-
ously with them. At once they set
up an cutlery and circled around on the
pavement in a dlsmayed minuet such
as has never before been seen In st.
Louis. By this time big crowd had
gathered, and the laughter of men and
boys mingled with the shrieking and
screaming Of women and girls The
uproar became so appalling to the
mouse that finally, reckless of conse-
quences, he precipitated himself
through an open grating into cellar
and has not been seen since. His I'M
usual and uncommon experience while
in quest Of little fresh air lasted just
five minutes.

driving along the roads, one might i'm
agine he was pursuing his way
through a peaceful and prosperous
Western agricultural community. Most
Of the farms are leased by white men,
as the Indian owners are not yet sufli-
GENTLY skilled in the white mans
methods to be a success as agriculture
lists. But these farms in the valley Of
the Big Horn show that the Grow res
ervation can be made to blossom as
the rose when once it is dominated by
the white mans touch.
For over year the government has
had surveyors at work in the northern
half OF the Crow reservation, making
surveys. Not all of the reservat ton
coded 1.1500O0 acres to the govern
ment, and this is the portion to be
taken up by the white men. The land
lies alon. the valley of the Big Horn,
and it is estimated that about 100000
acres can be cultivated. The remain
der will be used for grazing purposes.
Thus the individual who draws n
homestead will be doubly lucky, for
not only will he have 100 acres of MS
fine agricultural land as there Is in the
West. but he will also have the privi-
lege of using vast acreage of grazing
ground which cannot be irrigated. but
which is rich in succulent grasses and
which has been used as a pony range
by the Crows for generations. The
main canal to irrigate the homesteads
will be taken from the Big Horn, and
the supply of water is inexhaustible.

he dashed into a tavern and explain

who locked him into the chest that

entered and searched the house from

sat down to think over the matter.

contained the fugitive, remarked:
