OPEN CROW LANDS SOON.
Reservation Ready for Settlement il
August.

Washington. Jan. 1S.-1n view Of the
many conflicting statements as to the
dates of opening the Flathead and
Crow Indian reservations, Congress-
man Joseph M. Dixon Of Montana has
called upon Commissioner Richards Of
the general land office, giving the fol-
lowing report:
1.-The commissioner has instructed
the surveyor general to use every en-
deavor to expedite the completion of
the plat Of surveys and with the pre-
sent force available there is no reason
why the surveys should not be COM
pleted for the Grow reservation by
June I. 1t is the confident belief Of
the commissioner that the reservation
can be opened during August Of this
year. as there are no Indians to allot
and no appraisement to make of lands.
"Flathead plat will be completed by
April Is. Allowing 80 days for the
allotment Of Indians and one year for
making appraisement of lands. the
Flathead reservation will be ready for
final proclamation in the summer of
1907. This plan will give. Montana one
reservation opening this year and one
next"
The Grow reservation is in eastern
and the Flathead in northwestern Mon
tana. Both are capable of furnishing
homes. 1t Is estimated. for 300. 900 peo-
pie when fully developed. They con-
tain some of the finest agricultural
lands In the state. and abundant water
for irrigating purposes, although this
is not resorted to in the Flathead coun-
try. save in rare instances, there being
an ample rainfall
