fully settled. From the summit OF the
mountains to the eastern line of the
state. this is the most important Ques.
ton that has ever been raised invOlv.
ing the prosperity, repOse and welfare
of northern Montana"
In the above Mr.. Carter shows the
question of water rights one of far
reaching Importance and one that must
be taken up and settled as soon as
possible in order that it will not re-
tard the development of northern Mon
tana and nulify the benefits anticipat-
ed in the great irrigation projects un-
der way.
The government has been very gen.
erous in dealing with the Indians, but
there is no reason why they should
control more water than is needed for
their actual necessities. Their rights
and privileges should be made TO con.
form to the state laws as regards wa
ter, regardless of past treaties. Con
sress and the president will doubtless
take this view of it when time is Civ
en- for thorough investigation of the
subject.

A DAY TO BE REMEMBERED.

The Fourth of July. 1906 will long
be remembered by the people of Lew
istown. The day was perfect as TO
weather. while the number in attend
ance a the celebration was even larg-
CT than was anticipated. all parts Of
the county being represented. The
program OF the day was carried out as
completely as it was in the power OF
the committee TO do so. The Industrial
and floral parade in the morning was
most agreeable surprise to everyone
who Witnessed it. 1t was large for
a city of the size of Lewistown. and
the conceptions We're good in every
instance. AS a travelling man said
who viewed the parade. the Noats are
the best | ever saw in city of equal
population Not only in the designs
but in the labor required in putting
them into shape is great credit due
those who did so much in making the
parade one of the best features of the
program.
The patriotic exercises that followed
the parade were excellent 1t was a
matter of regret that the Hon. Martin
Maginnis could not have been present
to deliver the Grafton. but he was sud
denly called to Billings to oficiate in
the Crow reservation drawing and
the committee did not have time to
supply his place with an outside speak
er, though it made every effort On
solicitation the Hon. w. A. Hedges
consented to take the place Of Mr..
Maginnis. Though given brief time
FOR preparation Mr.. Hedges delivered
an eloquent address, which will be
found elsewhere in this issue. There
are thoughts of the highest patriotism
and wisdom in it for every true Amer
lean.
The people seemed to enter heartily
INTO all of the sports and pleasures
OF the day, from early dawn until af-
ter midnight.
Good order was maintained through
out, no quarrels, fights or disputes
in any of the events. It was a sane
celebration of our natal day, one that
sets high mark for the future.

THE BLACkFEET BILL.

The veto by the president of the
bill for the opening Of the Blackfeet
reservation will cause some disap-
pointment in northern Montana, but
1T is believed that the delay will only
be temporary; that the matter will be
taken up n the short term of con
gress next December and favorable
action taken. The president withheld
bis approval of the bill on the ground
That its provisions We're in conflict
with the old Blackfeet Indian treaty
negotiated in 1888, upon which the
Fort Belnap case was based. The
question involved is the amount of
water TO which the Indians are EMIT
led. The bill, as presented to the
president for his approval, limited the
Indian rights to actual appropriations
by them, but gave them two years al
ter survey, allotment and classifica-
tions OF land and the presidents proc
tamauon. opening the country 70
settlement within which to make
their actual appropriations. These
limitations. which seemed very Ii
beral to the senate and house, were
vigorously opposed by the Indian de.
partment and Secretary Hitchcock.
In an interview Senator Carter gives
The presidents reasons for his veto.
also the attitude of the Indian depart
ment relative to the matter Nj. Car
ter says:
TO surrender TO the view of the
situation taken by the Indian officer
would place in jeopardy all the water
rights in Montana Lo:th o. the I.ssou-
ri river.
THE Indians would even claim, and
hold, under the court decision, the wa
ters of st. Mary's Lake. The prin-
ciple involved is vital to the prosperity
of all of northern Montana and of
grave concern to the whole state, and
it cannot, and will not, be surrendered.
The president took the Indian office
view not because convinced that it
was right, but, as he stated because
he desired to thoroughly investigate
the question before becoming absolute
ly committed to any bill disposing of
the question or any part of it. He
promises to go into the entire Ques-
ton early in December and l believe
that the result will be the enactment
of law not only opening the Black
feet reservation to settlement bur
likewise securing to the settlers in
the Milk River valley and along other
streams in the vast region embraced
within the Blackfeet reservation prior
to 1888, fair and just recognition of
their water rights, under the laws of
the state

An article to be found elsewhere in
this issue will prove of vital interest
TO policyholders in the New York Life
and the Mutual Life insurance COM
panles. The object, as it is clearly
stated, is TO organize the policyholders
in an effort to wrest from Wall street
and the ,liscredited existing manage
ments the power to shield themselves
by perpetuating their own control
Each policyhoder will have one vote
in naming a board of directors and
can vote directly by mail by making
votes as in ordinary elections. If The
exposures of Lawyer Hughes and the
Armstrong committee are to bear fruit
policyholders will have to be alert
when the elections take place. The
present management, through their
agents everywhere. will make every
effort TO intrench themselves by Sc
lecting the directors to be voted for.
AT the recent session of the New York
legislature bill was passed restoring

voice through the ballot box in the
control of their own savings. and il
is now the duty of policyholders to
protect their own interests in the
forthcoming election. 1t is expected
that over million votes will be cast
and the contest promises to be a hot
one. The names of those who have
consented to act with the policyhold-
ers in the selection of suitable candi.
dates for directors are sufficient

band wagon and it is not improbable
that he will become the candidate of
all of the ultra radical elements in the
country. It remains to be seen whether
the Peoples party can muster any
strength in the next two years. II
does not seem probable. 1t has never
served any good purpose except to in

st. Louis judge who hasn't much
regard for precedents and custom has
sentenced two murderers to be hanged
on a Monday. In giving his reasons
for SO doing the judge said the cruel
fixion of Christ took place on Friday
and he did not think it proper to set
the execution of the condemned for
that day. The judge was of the opin-
ion that the day following Sunday.
which was devoted to religious thought
and service, was more appropriate, as
the doomed men would be in better
frame of mind to go to their final
reckoning on that day than any other.

should be selected or designated as
