tana, has introduced q bill directing

mediately have surveyed and sub
divided into lots of from two to ten
acres, land in the FIathead reserya-
ton fronting on Flathead lake, and
after the classification of the agricul-
tural, grazing and timber lands, shall
sell them at q public sale to the high
est cash bidder or under sealed bids,
the proceeds to be expended for the
continuance of the irrigation projects
for the benefit of the Indians.
The bill also authorizes the secre.
tary of the interi ,r to sell go acres of

ceeds to be paid to such allottee and
the remainder to be held in trust for
him.

Boston Boasts Big Wool Market.

A dispatch from Boston says the
erection of q great wool warehouse by
western growers and Chicago business
men in that city has not threatened
the primacy of Boston as the wool
market of America and the second
largest in the world, according to q
statement issued by the Association of
Wool Manufacturers. The Chicago
warehouse, recently completed, is the
outgrowth, it is said, of discomfort
among some western interests which
are alleged to be arbitrary methods
of eastern wool buyers. and it's pur-
pose is to eliminate the middlemen.
The national association in its est.
mate places the number of sheep ft
TOR shearing in the United States at
1888, 2O5, an increase of 1882 57
ove the preceding year. The wool
season of 1909 witnessed a full recov-
cry in prices and volume of business
from the financial panic of l9O7.O8.
