HILLS HOT WORDS
President Of Great Northern Scores
United States Government,

Billings. Mont. Oct. 29.--Louis W.
Hill. president of the Great Northern,
before the Dry Farming congress, ac-
cused the United States government
OF conducting gigantic swindlo in
the opening for settlement OF GER
tain western lands. Mr.. Hill, had
been defeated in a spirited effort to
have the name of the Dry Farming
congress changed to a name more
truly descriptive of the process of
agriculture which 1t represents In
the rancour of defeat he found his
hghting inspiration. He threw the
ordinary precautions of public speak
ing to the winds, and in blunt. tell
ing words expressed his opinion Of
the interior department of the United
States government. 1t was an ex-
temporaneous address and it grew In
heat at each word
MIR. Hill admitted that the railroads
had prof1ted millions of dollars by
the governments "swindle" and that
large share of this money had come
into the Golfers of the Hill roads
But it is money that we would
sooner give back to the people, if we
knew where they were,"? added Mr..
Hill.
Prickings Of Conscience.
Probably never before had the pres
ident OF q large railroad line stood
before a national congress Of farm
ers and publicly asserted that his
conscience hurt for accepting several
millions of dollars in illegitimate
fares. ~ think it is of great interest
to the western country to bring before
you the ways the department is hand
ling these land openings said MIR.
Hill. The Flathead Indian reserva-
tion was opened with the Ceour
d'Alene and one other and it is esti-
mated that 100000 people went out
there. They paid for railway fare
not less than $12OO0.O0O. We receiv-
ed our portion, money that we would
rather give back to the people, if we
knew where they were.
'They were induced to go out there
understanding that they could get
homesteads. l have met lots of them
who had given up good positions in
the east and went out there. Take
the Flathead reservation. At least
one-third of one hundred thousand
persons filed there. Out of that lot
how many drew blanks? But eighteen
hundred farms could be drawn; the
balance, ninety per cent. got nothing" /"

ding took place at the Varien
home, on Prather Creek, March

Varien and Miss Lena Krziske
were united in marriage, Rev.

mony. Only few immediate
relatives and friends were pre-
sent TO extend best wishes to the
young people in their new rela-
ton. A bountiful wedding din
ner followed the ceremony. Mr..
and Mrs. Varien will be at home
to their friends at once at the
Varien home. A company of
Young people from Burns to the
number of sixteen went out to
the Varien home the evening of
the wedding, where a most en-
joyable apd pleasant evening
was spent. Both the young peo-
pie are well known in this part
