ment. Copies were sent to each
of them, as we'll as to the Secre
tary of the Interior and Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs at Wash
ington. During the past week
answers have been received from
Senator Myers and Congressman
Pray, and the Senator writes as
follows:
December 18, 1911. President
Roman Commercial Club: / am
in receipt of the resolution of the
Roman commercial club, adopted
December 4, and addressed to
Senator Dixon, Mr.. Pray and my
self. They will receive my care
full attention. will consult with
Senator Dixon and Mr.. Pray
about the subject matter thereof
and will be glad to cooperate with
them to the extent of my power
to secure the relief desired.
Yours truly,
H. L. MYERS.
Congressman Pray answered
more in detail. He does not hesi-
tate to say that he will assist
every way in his power to correct
the abuses complained of, and his
letter is as follows:
December 49,, 1911. President
Commercial Club, Roman: Ihave
just received today the resolutions
adopted by the Roman commercial
club, December 4, 1911, relative
to the leasing of Indian lands,
patents to Indian lands, sale of
portions of allotments, sale of
heirship lands, withholding In
dian lease money, etc., etc., con-
tents of which have given care
full attention. l shall take pleas
ure in at once bringing this mat
ter to the attention of the Secre-
tary of the Interior, and will re-
quest that the various subjects
discussed by your club be given
immediate investigation. You
rest assured that l shall be pleas
ed to do all in my power to i'm
press the Secretary of the Inter-
ior and the Commissioner of In
dian Affairs with the necessity of
giving prompt attention to the
petition of your club and granting
relief to the settlers on the Flat
head reservation. Very truly
yours, CHARLES N. PRAY.
An investigation of the matter
by those in position to call the
attention of the department and
congress, if necessary, to the
manner in which this reservation
is being administered by the In
dian office, will develop that the
settlers and business men resid-
ing here have good cause to COM
plain. Not only the white people
who have lately come here to
make homes, but the Indians as
we'll, are strenuously objecting to
the treatment given them. 1t
will be remembered that dele
cation Of Indians has lately been
to Washington to secure some re-
lief from the matters they object
to. While there the Montana
delegation in congress had an op-
portunity to hear their complaint
first hand, and it is certain that
it was only corroborative of what
the resolutions set forth and of
what the white man alleges to be
a gross injustice to the Indian
and new settlers alike.
To speak plainly as to what a
a great many voters think of this
question, it can be said that many
have expressed themselves in this
manner: Things are so bad
that fear the only remedy is to
vote so as to cause the removal
of the entire personel of govern
ment officials from president
down." Voters are not express
ing this sentiment in the nature
of a threat, but are serious and

Joy Ride at 8 Years.

Jewell City, Kas., July s.-John
Blankenship, 8 years old, Is ono OF
the young motorists In the state.
Yesterday he got out his fathers
car and went out of town at n 2S-
mile clip. On the way he picked
up two companions, both NJ young
as himself, and drove several miles
into the country, before their par
ents discovered their absence. The
youthful ioyriders, on their return
trip crossed two iron bridges and
went up and down several steep
hills.
Besides this, young Blankenship
succeeded in getting the machine
out through the back door Of the
barn, took down the wire fence,
laid down boards to protect the
tires, ran the car over them and
through a ditch fourteen inches
deep, and would have returned the
auto to the barn again, before his
father could catch him had not the
engine went dead In crossing the
ditch on the rsturn trip. People
along the way stared in bewilder-
ment on the machine apparently
running itself, with the top OF
three heads scarcely visible.

In Memoriam

Little Myrtle Hotz died July 9th
1911 OF fever. Myrtle was the sec-
ond daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. 4.
Hotz. She was born Dec. Q, 1908.
Aged 2 years and 7 months. She
had been sick for over two weeks
and all that medical aid and the
devoted attention of loving par
ents and relatives and friends
could do was done for the sweet
patient sufferer, yet God In His
infinite wisdom deemed II best to
take the lovely rosebud unfolded
so sweetly here ana let II bloom
In Heaven. And with breaking
hearts the parents went to God
In prayer with a submissive spirit
and said "Thy will be DONE" oh.
who can fathom the depths of
parents love. And none but those
bereft can know how this lily In
missed In the home circle for Myr-
tie was a precious child to them.
and a child who won the love and
affection of all those who knew
her. Her short life was one Of hap

Four young girls robed In white

and pearly dew drops will ever be
over her there.
She leavess a father and mother,
two little sisters, four grand par
ents, several aunts ana a host OF
relatives and also a number OF
friends to mourn her.
Yes the hours ere sweet Myrtle
went, as the twilight deepened into
the tinge OF evening and as the
silvery moonbeams cleaned with
a soft ray OF light, around her lit
tie bed her dear life began to ebb
away and as the dawn began her
precious spirit left this earthly for
