with a cow. The car was smashed and
the occupants were badly injured, but
the COW was unhurt. Somehow OF

not own automobiles.

Pictured Rocks of the Flathead.

Morton j. Elrod, professor of
biology at the state university, has
published a bulletin on the "Pictured
Rocks of Flathead Lake" The cliffs
on which the Indians of two or three
generations ago, or longer, painted
pictures. are located on the west shore
OF the lake. Professor Elrod describes
the various drawings aud gives a
number of pictures of them. AS many
as fifteen animals are shown, while
there are 200 drawings and as many
marks, all of which had significance
to early day artists.
Perhaps only one man in the state is
able to read these drawings or to ex-
plain their presence on the cliffs on
the shores of Flathead lake. He is
"Uncle Billy" Hamilton of Columbus
on the Yellowstone river, where he
has lived many years. Uncle Billy,
more than SO years ago hunted, trap
ped and traded with the Indians
around Flathead lake. He says that
the pictures we're in existence then
and that they had been drawn by hunt
ing parties that had passed that
point.

irrigation On Indian Reserves.

According to a report recently made
by Fl. n. Savage supervising engineer
of the United States reclamation
service, government irrigation systems
on several Indians reserves are con.
tempted by his department. The re-
port says that on the Fort Belknap
reserv alton u canal sy stem has already
been constructed and covers some s..
OU acres of the land nearest the Milk
river in the vicinity of the agency. It
is understood that recommend ations
have been made to congress for a small
appropriation to be expended in the
construction of extensions from the
present canal. The land is we'll sit
uated for irrig alton, and, with water,
has been found to be very productive.
On the Blackfeet reserv alton a mum.
Der of surveys have been made for the
construction of canals from Cutbank
creek, Two Medicine creek. Badger
creek and Birch creek. There is an
area of we'll located, irrigable land in
the southeastern portion of this re-
servation, and, with some storage, an
ample supply of water can be had
from the a adjacent creeks.
An appropriation of $500, 0GG was
made for the construction of i:riga-
ton works for this rva alton, a por.
ton Of which appropri ation is now
available, and it is expected that
work may begin on the canals in The

a large order. Mr.. Stone, of course,
was unable. to accept the offer, though
he admits its temptation.
William G. Mason, stage director OF
the Lewis s. Stone company and who
will play Mac Williams in Soldiers of
Fortune" at the Auditorium this week.
came very near being compelled to sur
render the role to some other player:
Mac Williams is a dress suit part
Now, of course, Mason owns a dress
suit, but in this role he must wear a
dress suit that Is several sizes too big
for him. That proved a stumbling
block.
Mason is not remarkably tall man,
but he has considerable breadth, both
of stature and character. He tried to
rent suit Of the required size, but
couldn't find It, Then he bethought
him of Wayland Trask and tried to
borrow one there. Trask, however, had
only a dinner coat. He had outgrown
his spike tall" he explained, and, IL
had been sold to the old clothes man.
Mason seemingly was up against 1t.
Finally. however someone suggested a
call upon James j. Jeffries. The cham
pion had not one dress suit but several.
He gave one of them to Mason and
told him to go as far as he liked with
alterations and to throw the thing
away when he finished with 1t. This
solved the difficulty, for the tailor who
couldn't have built a new suit in the
