many parts of the Flathead reserva-
ton met at Poison yesterday and or
ganized into the Homesteaders' Pre-.

Indian allotments and the unclassified

deavoring to secure some action by the
department of decisive character so
that they may know whether or not
they are to get the land. A petition
was drawn up and signed by all present
calling upon Montana's representatives
in congress and the secretary of the
interior for information.
Permanent officers were elected as
follows: President, T. L. McMicheal,
Poison: vice president, Mr.. Russell of
Big Arm; treasurer, Rev. CHM of Elmo;
secretary, Miss Lilah Trow of Poison.
An executive committee was also ap-
pointed composed of the following gen.
tlemen: Williams of Post creek; Jones
of Mud creek; Lott of Big Arm; Sabin
of St. Ignatius and Evans of Poison.
They employed Attorney Foot of
Kalspell to look after the legal end of

Fine Prospect for Wheat

Tuesday F. NJ Canmack of 21-1o
brought to the Pioneer office Some san >
pies Of the wheat growing on his place.
Among the samples were some of tie
finest looking heads of wheat possible
to anticipate and samples of the grow
ing stocks from another portion of Il e
field.
This latter is from a portion that is
later than the other, and it has reached
the height of over four feet. Mr.. Cam
mack states that the whole field is as
even as he ever saw and that every in
dication points to a record yield.
This is only one instance of the many
which can be cited to show the great
prospects now opening on this reser-
walton. Every farmer almost has the
same story to tell, and it makes broad
smiles on the faces of all who have ven-
tured to make this valley their home.

attending Premier stolypin. who was
shot Thursday night during per-
formance in the Municipal theater.
made another examination OF their
patient today and announced that the
progress toward recovery was satisfac-
tory.
It appears that when Bogroff at
tempted the life Of the premier the
bullet that entered the body first struck
the crucinx which NJ stolypin always
wears and thus lost most Of its force,
which accounts for the comparatively
light character Of the wound.
Religious services were held in many
churches today and prayers offered Tor
the recovery Of the minister. Throngs
swarmed to the hospital anxiouslv

sicians and patriotic dem onstrations IN

Despite official assurances that the
premier will recover. the unoffic'ai
whisper that his condition Is hopeless
has spread among the masses of South
Russia, where hostility to the Jews is
most acute, and the greatest anxiety is
felt here lest a race war should break
forth, as the populace in the south have
been worked up to high degree OF
patriotic fervor by months OF anticipa-
ton Of the imperial visit.
If the outbreak once starts. 1t is DIFF

In other quarters IT. was construed as
