signed statements from Prof. Il. J.

regard to an unfortunate rumor that
started ut Steel, Mo-, few week :

HARD ON RAILROAD
PORTERS
NEW ANTI-TIPPING LAW MAY
FORCE PORTERS TO DEMAND
RAISE OF SALARY FROM THE
RAILROADS.

While the law against tipping is
not being rigidly enforced, fees of
the porters are falling off rapidly, &C
cording to the porters who run into
Wenatchee, and as a result general
demand may be made for better
wages. 1t is stated that the porters
get about $40 a month and the cut
ting off of their tips means serious
problem for them, as their wage is
by no means living one.
Although the law has not been
enforced up to this time, the travel
ing public is taking advantage of it
and is not helping directly to pay the
railroad employees. 1t is stated by
men who have travelled over the main
lines that many fasteners refuse to
take chances of being arrested and
that the porters are complaining
about the situation.
The porters declare that since the
passed law that cunts
off their principal source of revenue,
that something should be done to
force the railroads to pay them a liv-
ing wage.

STORY Of THE FLATHEAD
RESERVATION

valley, Is building an extension from
Kalispell to the reservation, and the
Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound
and the Canadian Pacific railways
have crews in the field seeking an
entrance into Kalispell.
The reservation was established al
a treaty made by Isaac /. Stevens
first territorial governor of Wash
ington and ex-oficio superintendent
of Indian affairs in the territory, AMI
the chiefs and head men of the Flat
head, Kootenay and Upper Pend
fd'Oreille tribes, in what was former
ly known as Council Grove, eight
miles below Missoula, now called
Grass Valley, on July IA, 1856. 1t
was ratified by the United States on
March s, 1859. Five persons who
were present at the treaty are Haz-
|zard Stevens, son of Governor Stew
ems, living at Boston; w. HI. Tappan,
"a resident of central Massachusetts,;
Charlois, chief of the Flathead
tribe, and Francois Eneas and Louis
Vanderberg. Eneas was assistant
interpreter at the council. The
three Indians live on the reserva-
ton.
Victor, who has long since Joined
his forebears in "the happy hunt
ing ground" was chief of the In
dams at the making of the treaty,
after which the Flatheais, Koote-
nays and Upper Pend d'Oreilles be-
came known as the Confederated
Tribes of the Flathead nation of In
dams. The Indians suffered hard
ships and wrongs by reason of 1on-
compliance of the treaty stipulations
and bad faith of the government.
Though the treaty was made in the
summer of 1855, the first annuities,
consisting of several hundred boxes
Of army hard tack and bags of rice,
did not reach the tribe until 1860,
more of the supplies being sold to
white settlers than were delivered
to the nations wards.
When the first treaty was made
the tribe, then living in the Bitter
Root valley, where it's members were
happy and contented, were not will

CHANGES
FIRE LAW
PEOPLE WHO WILLFULLY SET
FIRE TO WOOD WITHOUT PER-
MITS ARE IN DANGER OF THE
STATUTES.

The last legislature in the Grim
inal code made considerable changes
in the law regulating the burning
| of timber or setting of fire in the
public domain. The new law is as
follows:
Section 20.-Every person who,
within a county where there is a dep
uty fire warden, shall burn any wood
or brush between June 1 and Octo-
Der l in each year without first OBJ
tanning permit thereto from such
deputy fire warden, or who, in set
ting, guarding or extinguishing any
fire in such wood or brush, shall will
fully or negligently fail to preserve
any precaution prescribed by such
deputy fire warden shall be guilty of
a misdemeanor; provided, that moth
ing herein contained shall prevent
any person from burning any log,
stumps, drift or brush heaps In small
quantities isolated from other inflam-
mable material under personal super
vision and such other safeguards as
shall prevent such fires from spread
ing.
Sec. 21.-Every person who shall
wilfully or negligently act or fail to
carefully guard or extinguish any
fire, whether on his own land or the
land of another, whereby the timber
or property of another shall be en-
dangered, or who shall fail to res
pond to any lawful summons to aid
in guarding or extinguishing any fire,
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.

Four hundred and fifty thousani
of the 1.425,000 acres of valley and
bench lands contained in the Flat
head Indian reservation on the west
ern slope of the Rocky mountains in
northern Montana will provide

the drawing under the direction of
the United States government at
Occur d'Alene, Idaho, beginning the
morning of July 8. These lands have
been classified as first and second
class agricultural and grazing, AMI
are appraised at from $1.25 to 81
an acre. Persons desiring to enter
under the homestead act must regis

a clause was inserted, as fol-

tor clause was inserted, as fol-
lows:
''It is moreover provided that the
Bitter Root valley, above the Loo
Lo fork shall be carefully surveyed
and examined and If 1t shall prove,
In the judgment of the president,
to be better adapted to the wants
| of the Flathead tribe than the gen.
eral reservation provided for in this
treaty, then such portions of it as
may be necessary shall be set apart
as separate reservation for said
tribe. No portion of the bitter Root
valley above the Loo Lo fork shall
be open to settlement until such ex-
animation is had and the decision
of the president is made known
Much litigation followed to arrive
at the correct Interpretation Of this
treaty. It was followed by an ex-
ecutive order in 1871, finding that
the Bitter Root valley was not bet
ter adapted to the needs of the tribe
than the general reservation, the or
der adding that it was deemed I'M
necessary to set apart any portion
OF said Bitter Root valley as sepa-
rate reservation for the Indians re-
ferred to in said treaty"
Though no treaty existed before
June 16, 1855, Governor Stevens ap-
pointed Thomas Adams special agent
for the Flatheads in 1854, and the
following year the government ap-
pointed DR.. Lansdale of Oregon as
the first regular agent for the three
tribes. He established an agency at
the mouth of the Jocko river on the
present reserve, near what is now
the town of Dixon.
Mrs. Minnie Miller, wife of Henry
G. Miller, who went to Utah from
New York in 1855 and eloped with
the belle of the Mormon settlement
in the spring of 1856, was the Sec
ond white woman within the limits
of what is no wthe state of Mon
tana, and the first to take up actual
residence The one woman who pre-
coded her was simply passing
through the country from Winnipeg,
on the way to the Pacific
coast. In clipping Miller and his
bride made their way on horseback
to Firt Hall, a trading post, owned
by the Hujson's Bay company, then
in what is now the state of Idaho. |
They were received by Capt. Rich
ard Grant, in charge of the post, and
were married.
The Millers awaited the return Of
DR.. Lansdale from Salt Lake, and |
were engaged to take charge of the |
reservation during his absence in |
Oregon. They remained at the agen-
cy until the fall Of 1857, when they

course at the Royal college at Os-

Prince Edward will not, however,

his father. In the course of time he
will enter the army, and probably
will serve in more than one branch

he will be gazetted direct to cavalry
