Asks Pardon
for Mudhead
Blackfeet Boy Has Con
sumption and Slowly
Dying

Atty. J. H. Brass of Helena, who
defended Tallow Mudhead the boy
from the Blackfeet reserve who last
May was tried and convicted on the
charge of horse stealing, has petit
toned President Taft to pardon the
young man, who is said to be a con-
sumptive and slowly dying in the
Lewis & Clark County Jail.
Mudhead does not speak English
and not until he began serving his
sentence was it it learnod that he
war so afflicted. Accompanying the
petition is a statement of the at
tending physician to the effect that
Mudhead's condition is incurable
and that his presence is dangerous
to the health of the other inmates
and he should be isolated, or better
still be discharged, so that he may
have the advantage of open air and
exercise. 1t is doubtful if he can
complete his sentence and earnest
ly recommend his pardon"
| Had the authorities been aware
of Mudhead's condition, it is likely
that the case would not have been
pressed.

Binders on the Move

Isn't it sweet music to your ears
to be told that harvesters, twine,
mowers, rakes and leaders are be-
ing sold daily in Cut Bank.
o. l. Grina, manager of the Big
Red Shed, was out in the country a
couple of days of the week and clos
ed contracts for seven Deering bind
ers. The company has ordered an
other car of binders for Cut Bank
and will sell them easily. Tuesday
they had sold out of hay rakes and
sent a hurry-up order for more.
Mowers and all kinds of haying
tools are going out daily. 1t lis.

Praises the Band

Observed local citizen to the
Pioneer Press man the other day:
Il have never seen a musical organ
ization so persistently punctual in
practice as this Cut Bank band. /
have seen bands organized in small
towns many time and oft. They
would be full of enthusiasm and at
tend the practice meeting !. most
punctually for while. Soon the
novelty wore off, other things oc-
cupied their attention to the exclu-
sion of band matters. They would
drop away one by one. Finally the
organization becomes disrupted. 1t
is 80 different with the Cut Bank
band. What is it that holds them
together 80 presistently and united
ly? Is it fondness for music Oh
especially capable disciplined / can
not say. They organized over q
year ago and today they seem at
anxious to attend practice meetings
and are as enthusiastic about al
band affairs as the day they organ.

Indian Lands
To be Taxed
Supervisor Pears Makes a
Recommendation to
This Effect

Washington, July 8.-The Indian
lands on the various reservations,
including the inherited ianns, should
be taxed as soon as the trust period
expires.
This conclusion was reached at
the conference of the supervisors of
Indian schools, headed by Chief
Supervisor III. B. Pears, which end
ed today. They will suggest to Com
missioner Valentine that he make
recommendation for the necessary
legislation. The trust period, it is
explained, will expire on many of
the reservations within the next
few years and unless congress so au
thorizes the states cannot collect
taxes on these lands. The Indians
would profit in the end, it is point
ed out, becaure the money derived
would be used in building roads
and schools.
This year will see the first taxes
paid on Indian lands-those of the
Omaha reservation in Nebraska.
The trust period on that reserva-
tion expires this year and congress
has authorized the levying of taxes.
The supervisors also adopted
resolutions seeking to change the
ration given to the Indians, un.
changed since 1884.
Many plans were also prepared
looking to perfecting the sanitary
conditions of the reservations and
in the Indian schools.
Jim Davidson was a business Wis
itor here Tuesday. Jim stated thai
shearing on the Davidson ranch wa
completed and that operation on the
MacRae and Miller ranches was il

Grain Crops Now i'm the
Making, with Ideal
Conditions

With clear, warm days and cool
nights, an ideal condition for small
gaain growth, crops are fairly hum
ming in the Cut Bank community
and as the days pass and the har-
vest grows nearer the outlook for a
fine yield grows more fattering.
Numerous samples of grain taken
from fields in the community are on
exhibition about town and all bear
testimony of the wonderfully pro-
ductive quality of the soil in this
section under ordinary conditions.
The first spring wheat bearing we'll
formed heads, to our knowledge,
came from the Jack Bunting ranch
on the Marias last week, being brot
in by Harry Wilkins. Since then
numerous samples of headed wheat
have been brot in. The straw is
long and vigorous and the heads
we'll formed and with favorable
conditions prevailing from now un-
til maturity an unprecedented crop
will be reaped. vi

By Comparison

The U. S. Weather Chart shows
a strip of territory between Sweet
Grass and the Rockies and extend
ing southwark to the Marias which
has an average rainfall of 20 inches
a year. In the hear. of the strip is
the Cut Bank community, Reports
of the June rainfall, as published in
the papers of Havre, Great Falls
and other points to the east and
south show that this strip is this
year sustaining the Government
records for ten years past. At
Havre 2.14 inches of rain fell dur
ing June; at Great Falls it was a
tritie more. At Conrad it was ov-
er four inches. At Cut Bank it was
$50 inches. In two distinctive ways
has this Cut Bank community an
advantage over other sections IN
Northern Montana; it gets more
rainfall from the heavens and it is
easier to procure water from the
bowels of the earth. The first prop
ositiou is backed by Government
statistics, the secondscan easily be
proven to those who wish to inves.
tigate. Oh, it is mighty difficult tc
beat this Cut Bank community as g
desirable place for the homemaker.
