Philadelphia Draws 100 Acres
on Indian Reservation.
Outdoor Life and Larger Freedom OF

Pleasing In Contrast With
Environments Of City.

Spokane, Wash.-Miss Mary r:
Bloomer Of Philadelphia, who won a
homestead Of 100 acres In the Flat
head India. reservation in western
Montana at the government lottery,
has decided to become a farmer. She
Is now at Missoula with her mother
and brother, and says her father liv-
Ing at Philadelphia, and brother, a
resident of Seattle, will join them In a
short time.
Miss Bloomer did not journey from
Philadelphia to the Spokane country
merely for the purpose of register
ing in the land drawings last year at
Missoula, Spokane and Occur d'Alene.
In fact, when she left her eastern
home for q visit In the Pacific coun-
| try she did not know there was any
such thing as a land drawing In prog
ress. She had not even heard Of the
Flathead reservation, and Montana
was to her not much more than a
name convenient in identifying a
huge portion Of the great American
desert--a vast. unmeasured hunting
ground for gun toting cowpunchers,
savage Indians and wild things.
But, while stopping on the way to
visit relatives at LeavenWorth, Wash,
her uncle mentioned the big land
| opening, and then and there it was
determined that she would stop at
Missoula, Spokane and Occur d'Alene,
and register. This was done, and in
course Of time Miss Bloomer received
notification from Uncle Sam that she
should have 341st choice among the
Flathead farms In Montana.
Evidently Miss Bloomer was happy

BLIZZARD HITS TOWN
Wind and Snow Causes Considerable Loss of
Stock Throughout The Country on
Monday. 20 Below Zero.

One Of the worst wiho and
snow storms here this winter
commenced ear s Monday morn
ing and continued for over "a
hours. Monday the snow and
wind blowed so much that it
was impossible to see across the
street at times and the loss of
stock throughout the day and
especially the night, will be
heavy. Already many reports
have been received in regards
to sheep "pile ups" and more
are coming in. 1t was without
a doubt the worst storm this
winter on the stock and from
outside towns we learn that it
struck many other parts Of the
country. Railroad traffic was
tied up for a few days and tele-
phone lines put out of commits
sion. The thermometer regis
tered 20 below Tuesday morning
and continued below until We'd
nesday. With this, the longest
spell of cold weather in many
years one begins to wonder the
outcome. A thaW or Chinook is
expected and has been expected
for the last 60 days, but when
it's coming we, like others, can
not say.

FOREST RESERVES
TO BE OPENED

More than 1000, acres of
land will be stripped from the
forest reserves of the United
soon and restored to the public
domain for homestead settle
ment through the governments S
policy in carrying out Clifford
Pinchot's idea os to The classi-
fication of forest lands.
This is the initial result of
President Taft's approval of a
plan jointly submitted to him
a few days ago by Secretaries
Wilson and Ballinger for the
reclassification of these lands.
The lands involved in the res
toration for settlement are those
not suitable for forest purposes
and represent more than 2
per cent, Of the total forest
area.
AS three-tenth of the forest
domain is still unclassifed, it is
difficult to estimate what will be
the total elimination when the
whole area has been mapped out.
1t cannot be stated what with
drawals will be made.

THE COST
OF LIVING

Who is responsible for the high
cost of living? This question is
being argued and discussed over
the country at the present time
and many are the causes given.
The packers claim the farmers
are the cause but when you
compare the prices first which
the farmers sells his products
ano the prices he pays for them
when he lays in his supplies for
the winter, you cannot lay the
cause to him. For instance hogs
sell from $6 to So per hundred
live weight and bacon and ham
$50 per hundred retail, beef Sc
to $3.50 per hundred live weight
$50 to $35 per hundred retail,
beans $3.50 to So per bushel,
SO per bushel after leaving
the canning factories. peas the
the same price. Wheat sells
from soc to Csc per bnshel while
low grades of flour sell for 81
per hundred and 2 Ia bushels of
wheat make 100 lbs. of flour,
corn sells on the ear or shelled
at about soc after leaving the
canning factory sells for IS. 40
per bushal, oats sell on the mar
ket from 35c to 4Oc and after
they are manufactured into oat
meal they sell for Sc per pound
retail. Now where you take into
consideration the fact that their
are in cold storage houses, 20
million cattle, 25 million sheep,
SO millions Of hogs, one billion
eight hundred millions of eggs,
one hundred and thirty million
pounds of poultry, and fruits
valued at $50.000.000 you can
possibly determine wherein lies
the secret of this high cost of
living. Most certainly it is not
the farmer, then we will have to
say it is the packer, trusts and
combinations who are respons-
lble, still there are people who
say combinations and trusts are
a good thing. Yes indeed where
ignorance is bliss it is folly to be
wise. "A Reader.

WHERE'S THE FAULT?
Church People of Ekalaka Having Trouble of
Their Own In Regards to Use of
Edifice.

A misunderstanding in regards
to the use of the Ekalaka church
has arisen between the trustees
of the church and the newly
formed Congregational society.
Below we publish a letter re-
ceived from the trustees Of the
church stating that they (the
trustees) do not deem it proper
to let the church out to the new
society if they retain Mrs. F. D.
Bohr as pastor, as they had
decided to do. The Congrega-
tionists seem to to think that the
church was built as a union
church and could be occupied
by any denomination and by any
pastor they had chosen. The
question has caused quite a
scramble" among the church
people and the outcome is watch-
ed with keen interest by many.
This paper is not taking sides
in the matter and only hopes
that satisfactory arrangements
to all will be made very soon,
that will enable us to continue
Sunday services. We would
however suggest that a CON-
mittee from both denominations
get together at an early date
and discuss the affair. The
letter below is published at the
request of the party to whom
addressed in order that the public
may note the voice of the
Trustees.

We the undersigned have had

ided that it is not proper to let

CANADA ANXIOUS FOR
CLOSER TRADE TREATY
Negotiations For Such Compact
Expected to Begin Early
Next Fall.

The Canadian government has accepted
the proposition Of the United States gov
eminent to negotiate treaty designed to
improve the trade relations between the
two countries. The letter of the Secre
tary Of State to the Dominion government
suggesting the early negotiation of
trade treaty was sent May II last. In its
reply the Canadian government ex
pressed It's earnest desire to take up
possible. 1t regretted, however. that, as
Finance Minister Fielding and his as
sociate, Mr.. Paterson, the minister of
customs, were to sail for England to be
absent some months, it would not be
possible to begin formal negotiations be-
fore the coming autumn.
Mr. Fielding and Mr.. Paterson are sup
posed to have sailed from Montreal today
on important government business con-
nected with Canadian finances 1t - not
likely they will return before next Au-
gust Soon thereafter 1T is confidently
expected that Canadian commission will
be appointed to confer with a similar
commission from the United States. There
is no known reason why the matter
should not result in a formal treaty dur
ing the coming winter
In the meantime the Canadian experts,
"a well as those in charge Of customs
matters in the United states, Will gather
such data as will be of Importance in the
settlement of the various questions that
will come before the commissioners of
the two countries. Communications from
official and unofflcial sources in Canada
clearly indicate that the Dominion gov
eminent is in earnest In its desire to
bring about closer commercial relations
with the United States through the in
strumentality of a trade treaty.

Opposed to them are Nine. Josephine

adopted daughter and the wife OF Jean
Guillemin, French minister to Portland

When the will left by Hart was opened
it was found that Nine. Guillemin had
