INDIANS DO ALI EXPECTED OF THEM

w. {. BrOadWater, who is engaged
IN contracting and in the mercantile
business in Browning, was in Havre
Monday on his way to attend the
democratic state convention, to which
ne was accredited from Chouteau
county, and brought an interesting
report and picture of the progress
being made on the initial call of the
great Milk river irrigation system.
Mr.. Broadwater says that while Indi-
ans Of the BlackfoOt reservation are
being given the preference in the
matter of employment, it is a mis-
taken impressin that has gotten
abroad that white men are being
barred. There is work, he says, for
many more white men than can at
this season be secured The wages
for a man and team are So a day, the
man to board himself and team, but
common labOrers, prOportionately Ie-
ceive better wages, being paid $3.50 a
day, with the privilege Of boarding
themselves, or at the rate of seventy
five cents per day, should they choose
to take their meals at the camp board

Samuel Mckennan, treasurer Of the
Union Bank & Trust company at
Helena, was in town last week COM
pleting details for purchase of a
strong interest in The Security State
Bank of this city. Mr.. Mckennan
was here as the representative OF sew
eral strong financial interests associ-

Bank at Havre is not connected with
the Union Bank and Trust Company
ia any manner whatever and there is
no association between the two banks,
excepting to the extent that some
strong eastern and western interests
own stock in both institutions.
There is to be no change in the
management of the Bank other than
some minor changes in the Board of
Directors. which will include the E.

Five hundred thousand dollars were

lumber is almost weeded out, even in

In Havre today the cost of l-inch
plain board is $3.50 per thousand feet

same product at retail quotation a
year ago. In September, 1908, fine

of Brother w. w. Van Orsdel, a mis-

attention and at which he has grown

President Newman Of the Milk River
Irrigation Association, is intended to
bring about a speedy and final de-
termination of all the claims upon
which final proof has been made,
while rigid examination of all claims
approaching the time of final proof is
also anticipated. The interior depart

DEMOCRATS or CHOUTEAU CO. SAY

We, the Democrats of ChOuteau
county, in convention this 22nd day
of September, 1906, do declare these
the principles of the Chouteau county
democrats.
We reatfirm our allegiance to the
principles of the democracy as ex-
pounded by its founders and advocated
by the greatest Of all living demo-
Gratis, VIM. Jennings Bryan, ana We
pledge our support for his nomination
and election in 1908.
We believe that the greatest issue
before the American people, at the
present time, is the necessity for the
protection of the masses Of the people
against illegal combinations of wealth
in the form of trusts, and we point
with pride to the record of the demo-
cratic representatives of the last
national congress against that of the
republican representatives in the eff
fort, on the part of the president, to
enforce the laws against Illegal COM
binatiOns, and in TIE creation on new
laws tending to pratect the weak a.
gainst the strong.
We believe that with a democratic
representative in congress, carrying
out the policy and principle Of the
democratic party against the trust

ing houses.
Mr.. Broadwater says that the re-
clamation management has found the
Indian workmen surprisingly indust-
rious, capable and of sober and con-
tented condition. Construction of the
Milk river irrigation system, he pre-
diets, will have more benefits for the
white men than simply the great ones
accruing from the reclamation Of the
great land territory involved, as it
will result in complete civilization Of
the Indians of the valley and the sew
eral reservations included, bringing
the great majority of them to industry
and relieving the white man from
further supporting them as charges
of the government.
In and around Rabb, he says, there
are now camped 500 persons of all
shades, kinds and nationalities, and
10000 dogs of all sorts, colors and
breeds. The Indian is rapidly becom-
ing civilized, but he still loves and
will have his dog meat.

country the interests of the
people of our state will be better pro-
tected.
We approve the direct primary law,
but recommend such amendments as
will make the same more effective
and complete.
We are unutterably opposed to the
state or county officers loaning the
uasIesfsflds for their private gain,
and we pledge our candidate for county
treasurer to loan such county funds
as are available to the highest and
most responsible bidder, and the
interest to be paid into the county
treasury.
We pledge our county commits
sioners and other county officers for a
practical, economical and progressive
administration of county affairs and
for strict and prompt accounting
of public funds at all times.
We favor change in our present
road law and the improvement of our
county roads at the earliest possible
time.

truth and wisdom of our principles,
and the justice of our cause, we pre-
sent our ticket to the voters of Chou
teau county, and invite the support

"That second class mail matter be
