Cut Bank the Gateway
To Great Reservation
This the Gateway City by Way of great rail
way the beautiful and prolific Bckfeet Reservation

The Blackfeet Indian reservation
is located in the northwestern cor
ner of Teton county. The main
range of the Rocky mountains, the
most beautiful and picturesque
mountain region in America, makes
up its western border, Canada walls
it in on the north and the Marias
river and its tributaries compose
the greater part of it's eastern and
southern boundary. 1t has total
area of 959,644 acres. The bill for
opening this reservation for settle
ment was passed in March, 1907.
After the Indians have been allotted
their share of the lands upon the
completion of the survey, the bal
ance, outside the 100000 odd acres
Withdrawn from entry for reclama-
ton purposes, will be open for set
tlement under the homestead, min
eral and townsite laws, except tim
Der lands, which are to be sold by
sealed bids for not less than $500
per acre.
The United States reclamation
Sar,,ica has already undpr WAY the
construction of two large irrigation
works in the Blackfeet Indian res
ervation, the St. Marys and the
Blackfeet. The St. Mary's located
in the northern part of the reserva
ton contemplates storage of the

waters of the St. Marys lakes, on
the northeastern slope of the Rock
les, and transmitting it by means of
a main canal to lands in the eastern
part of the reservation and to lands
lying east thereof on the headwaters
of the Marias river. About IS 900
acres of this project will be located
in the Blackfeet reservation.
The irrigation plan of the Black
feet project involves the construc-
ton of five irrigation systems, COW
ering 100000 acres. The Two Med
icine, the largest of five units com
prising this project, will be the first
to be developed.
CLIMATE. SOIL, RAINFALL, CROPS
Much of the land within the res
ervation will produce large crops of
all northern grown grain, hay, fruit
and vegetables without irrigation,
the average annual rainfall being 16
inches. The soil is brown sand loan
underlaid with gravel at about four
feet below the surface. The land at
present is used almost wholly for
grazing large herds of cattle, horses
and sheep. Within the next five
years it will have been transformed
into thriving farming community:
settlers homes will dot the plains,
and the land will make them pros
porous.

The Ferment
~
Is Stirring
First FAINT Flush of Dawning
New Era Seen In Present
Building Activity

The ferment is working, Cut
Bank has entered a period of prog
ress which it's location and surround |
ings amply justify. 1t is today the
metropolis of Northern Teton county
and this distinction it is bound to
maintain. Indeed it is several laps
ahead of all neghbor towns in its
squirt down the highway of prog
reSs.
Cut Bank is destined to be the
most important point between Havre
and Kalispell. Today it has the
largest and most pretentlous hotel
in this section of Montana, There
is now being constructed i'll Gut
Bank $4,000 brick school build
iug. This building will be complet
ell long before the opening OF the
next school year and its capacity
and the curriculum that will be in
stituted will mean that families from
far aud near will take advantage of
the exceptional school oppOrtunl-
ties and become residents of the
town. 1t will be big considera-
ton for homeseekers with families,
as this will be the largest and best
equipped school in the homestead
region in Northern Montana.
The States sale of lots i'll Cut
Bank. about IA month ago, gave the
residents of the town an opportu
nifty to purchase lots for business
llaces and homes and with the op-
enlng of next spring there will be
inaugurated campaign OF build
ing-both business places and res
licences of the better class-such as
Cut Bank has never before witness
ed.
Even now, almost in mld- winter,
the building campaign is going on
apace. There is more building ac-
tivity in Cut Bank today than in
any town in this section of the
state.
The receipts of the Great North
ern's local office, show an increase
in business at Cut Bank of over an
hundred per cent, over that of a
corresponding period last year.
There are about hundred and fifty
men employed in the railway SER
vice here-includng roundhouse,
depot, industrial tracks; pumping
station and section crew. The rail
way payroll here aggregates $1O,-
10000 per month.
Work on the government pro
iects on the reserve is being pushed
with great rapidity. The allotment
work is about completed. A mon
ster reservoir dam for the storage OF
waters for the Two Medicine pro.
iect is now under way. 1t will not
be long before this fine agricultural
domain is thrown open for settle
ment and the very choicest portion
of it is contiguous to Cut Bank
When this reserve is thrown oper
it will give this town mighty for
ward impetus.
So. all in all. the future looks
roseate for Cut Bank 1t possesses
advantages that few towns in thi
section possess. Its people are
aware of these advantages and the!
are alert and enthusiastic. Witt
the exceptional advantages possessed
by the place and the spirit of har
mony and enthusiasm that prevail
at this time, nothing short of a great
unforeseen catastrophe can mar ou
| future progress.

your shopping early. Secondly,
spend your money where you earn

whom you know and can trust (and

hours of sleep in the vain hope of CATCH

suggestions have been advanced by the
superstitious that this comet foretells
disaster dire and widespreading. Fortu-
nately the comet and the earth do not
come into closest relations today. IL il

evteAt. but rather gain to a much
greater amount than that figure. For this
expenditure maintained a system of as
sistance. advice. encouragement, instruc-
ton and direction among the poorer peo-
pie which prevented demands in the
name of charity probably to a total sew
eral times as large.
An ideal charitable organization would
be that which spent all of its resources
in administration, having so thoroughly
canvassed the field and so effectively ed
ucated and directed the poor that aims
were unnecessary. The best charity, the
highest and most helpful. is that which
teaches the people to help themselves,
which leads them into contact with OPP
rortunities for Improvement. OF course.
such an ideal is beyond immediate reach
CT attainment, but meanwhile II guides
the citizen in his efforts to approximate
Il and to reduce suffering and privation
and ignorance to a minimum.
In setting forth the functions of the
Associated Charities this commission has
done the individual citizen service i'll
demonstrating anew the fact that with
out such an organization every member
of the community who feels the impulse
of charity who desires to help his less
fortunate fellows. who answers the call
of brotherhood. is thrown upon his own
resources, his usefulness as siver limit
ed to the few individual cases of need
he can personally reach. The truth should
now be perfectly clear to all Washington
people that through the maintenance oil
the Associated Charities, whatever may
be the annual cost of ADMINISTRATION, the
community is permanently assured OF a
means whereby every dollar given for
the succor of the poor, whether from
their physical needs or from their iSnO-
rance, will be spent to the best possible
effect.

The Charities Report.

The criticisms that have been recently
leVeled at the processes of charitab BILE
administration in this city have been so
completely met and answered BY the dis
Interested commission named by the Dis
trict Commissioners to investigate the
question that the incident will probably
work for good in correcting certain mis-
conceptions that have formed in the pub
lie mind and set forth through the
medium OF the valuable report just pub
lshed. The citizens composing this COM
mission have rendered a public service
of great worth and are entitled to the
thanks of the community for the thor
ough manner in which they have con-
Quoted their inquiry and for the clear
exposition they have given OF the work
in Washington of the various charitable
agencies. Seldom has an assignment been
given of more Importance to the welfare
of the District. and the manner in which
il has been met by Judge Stafford and
his associates Is most encouraging
token of the high grade of District citi-
zenship.
Ii is To be hoped that this report VIII
be read word for word by every Wash
ingtOnian Ii should carry conviction to
every mind. enforcing two propositions:
First, that organization in charity work
is necessary to conserve the resources Of
the community and to insure constructive
work among the less fortunate members,
and second, that the organization now
provided is efficiently performing this
task.
Brushing away the confusion which has
prevailed in some minds between the
Associated Charities and the board OF
charities and setting straight the reIa
iionship between the Associated, e'lfari-
ties and the Citizens Relief Association

the money spent i'm salaries and Other

funds carried by the District appropria-
ton bill in order to maintain the grounds
that have been established by act OF
Congress. At the same time the eX-
penditure of this money wholly from the
District revenues not only constitutes
an unjust drain upon the local resources.
but it weakens the safeguards Of the
organic act.
This action of Congress on the play
grounds item constitutes the most men,
acing precedent of organic act violation
ever recorded. To accept the money
thus granted and spend it on the whole
cost basis insisted upon by the House
would be virtual acknowledgment BY
the District of this precedent, which
must be vigorously resisted, whatever
may be the needs of the Fairgrounds
themselves. The organic act must be
preserved at all hazards not as a rem
