Many Settlers for Montana

Eastern railroad offices report
that colonist movement to the
west. will be greater this year
than last, which was considered
a record. Of the immigration,
Montana will receive a larger
proportion than even last year,
judging by the inquiries.
While the movement to this
state has been steady during the
past few months, when home
seekers tickets were on sale, the
second Tuesday of the month,
the real influx can be expected
after Sept. Is, when colonists
rates will commence and remain
effective for one month. The
transcontinental lines have found
that the real colonist movement
is delayed until the farmers of
the middle west have harvested
their crops.
Local railroad men say eastern
offices report that one contribut-
ing factor to the unusually heavy
movement is the drouth expert
enced in the middle west and the
settlers are bound for the coun-
try that offers most in the way
of climate and rainfall.
During the winter the North
ern Pacific line has had a Mon.
tana exhibition car enroute over
the east and many inquiries can
be traced to it.

Does that mean that her citizens
had a dull time or that her neigh
bors forgot to come in and help
celebrate? Not at all. At the

his wife declared that they had

was something doing every min

Of the racket which has hitherto
been considered necessary to the
proper celebration of our great
American holiday.
There were base ball games
and races; races for fat men,
races for lean men, races for
women, races for girls, for boys,
three legged races, one legged
races-in fact, races of all kinds
and descriptions, and it is worth
noting that all the events came
off on schedule time.
The features of the day, indeed
of the whole week, were the
gorgeous and historic dances
given by the descendants of the
first Americans. Those which
interested the visitors most were
the parade of the heroes, the
scalp dance and war dance OF
the women.

has played something akin tc
havoc with the crop condition
during last month";" was the
statement made by Prof. N. C.
Murray, acting chief of the crop
reporting board of the deralt t.
ment of agriculture Washington,
D. c., after the announcement of
the July report on grain and
produce.
"The report" said Professor
Murray, reflects the serious
effects Of the drouth in June,
most of the important crops
showing a condition with yields
below last year and below recent
average yields.
"Foodstuff, oats and hay,
seems to have been hard hit,
less than two-thirds of a normal
crop of hay is expected and the
oats crop probably will be all of
Is per cent. less than last years
crop, and about IL per cent. less
than the averages for the last
five years.
The corn average is the larg-
est ever recorded, but the condi-
tions of the crop is about Z per
cent. below the average. That
indicates a production of aproxi-
mately 5 per cent. less than last
years record crop, but 5 per cent.
more than the average produc-
ton in the last five years. The
condition of the corn crop on
July l, however, was critical.
"The potato crop promises to
be unusually short. The acreage
has fallen off, probably on ac-
count of unsatisfactory prices
last year, and the condition of
the crop now is lower than any
time on July l, in the last 22
year. Almost a sensational ad-
vance in the price Of potatoes
has been made during the last
month. The average price on
July / was 96.3 cents a bushel.
lowing to the difficulty in set
ting out tobacco plants, the acre
age has been reduced % per cent.
from that last year. The low
condition together with the short
age, have combined to reduce the
indication to a total production
of 63.3 per cent. of last years
crop, or 77.3 per cent. of the
acreage for the last five years.
"On general crop conditions,
the section of the country which
appears to have been hit the
hardest by the hot weather and
the drouth is the tier Of states
comprising South Dakota Ne
braska, Kansas and Oklahoma. "

Teachers will be employed at a
meeting of the board to be held
next Saturday at Ravalli, and the
teachers for all the other schools
not already employed will be

Mrs. Pearl T. Marshall the coun-
ty superintendent. Mrs. Mar
shall attended to assist the board
in any of the matters with which
they were not entirely familiar
Land her presence was appreci-
'ated by all the board.
The action of the school board
at the meeting last Saturday in
providing for the four additional
schools will be heartily COM
mended. There are so many
children Of school age within the
limits of the district who would
have been entirely prevented
from attending school had not
some favorable action been taken
and that would have been a de-
plorable condition. In the To-
calities where schools have been
provided there are over $50 pu-
pills who could not have attended
but for this action. The district
is a large one, and with people
living in all parts of the territory
many of their children are miles
from the towns, and it is these
who are now to be provided with
schools. New countries are al
ways short of the funds to give
such schools as are really neces-
sary, and the board is to be COM
mended in doing what it has.
With school houses dotting the
land in every direction, with fa-
cilities partially ample, one of the
most serious drawbacks hereto
fore experienced has been re-
moved. The future will remedy
all that is still lacking in this re-
spect and the people should, and
probably will, patiently await the
time when many more schools
can be provided,

Poison 8

The U. S. R. S. boys went up
to Poison last Sunday and played
the Poison team. It was a bad
day for playing as the wind blew
a gale, as is usually the case at
that boat landing, and a cold,
raw wind it was. One needed
an overcoat to keep comfortable.
The dust was blowing something
fierce, too, and the score might
have been different but for the
elements.
Up to the commencement Of
the eighth inning things looked
pretty bad for the visitors, bat
they connected with the Parsons
brand Of delivery in that inning
and chalked up two scores to
their credit, and things looked
brighter. The Poison aggre-
cation made three in the first
inning, after two were out, and
an error in the field gave them
all these runs. They annexed
three more before the ninth in
ming and the score at the COM
mencement Of this inning stood
6 to 2 in favor Of Poison. Then
came the ninth. The U. S. R. S.
boys just simply fell onto Parsons
and before he could stop their ad-
vance they scored five runs and
were ahead. This should have
won them the game but another
error on the part of the reclama-
tion gave Poison two more in the
last half of the ninth, and the
game.
The visitors did not play in
their usual form, and it was no
such a game as the Ronan-Mis-
soula game on the 4th. To add
t. the disagreeable weather, the
umpire was simply rotten. He
gave the U. S. r. S. the worst of
it all the way through. He called
one of the reclamation boys out
at home plate when the manager
of the Poison team himself said
that the man was safe by ten
feet, and made his jumps reverse
himself. He called a ball on one
of the Poison batters when the
batter had struck at the ball as
viciously as possible. In fact,
whenever a close play came up
Poison got the better of it every
time. The U. S. R. S. boys
were called off the field once by
their manager and were gather
ing up their bats to leave when
their contention was granted, but
to win a game with such a handi-
cap is impossible. They couldn't t
have won with 20 men.

Volume IL. No. IL.

A special despatch from Wash
ington, dated July IL, to the
Missoulian, says;
Senator Dixon has had con-
ferences with both Commissioner
Valentine of the Indian Office and
Secretary of the Interior Fisher,
regarding the unfortunate situa-
tions that has arisen regarding
the suspended entries on un-
appraised Flathead lands. He
presented a petition signed by
200 settlers on the reservation,
asking for equitable adjustment
of difficulties. The trouble
seems to have arisen over the
fact that the Indian office, at the
time Of the opening of the reser-
walton, issued an order reseving
the right to re-allot any Indian
on the unappraised lands: where
a mistake had been made in the
Indian allotment or where the
Indian allottee had been allotted
on lands that were unsatisfactory
and were not fit for cultivation.
The commissioner of the land
Office at the time of the opening
of the land to entry also issued
an order to the registers of the
land offices at Missoula and Kalis-
pell to accept suspended filings
from settlers on unappraised
lands. The commissioner of the
land office, not being advised of
the previous order Of the commits
sioners of Indian affairs, both
the commissioner of Indian af-
fairs, and the secretary Of the
interior are convinced of the
equities Of settlers who in good
faith made Improvements on un-
appraised lands where their entry
had been suspended. Commits
sioner Valentine has submitted
the whole situation to the secre-
tary Of the interior for an opin-
ion regarding the legal status
of the lands. Whatever may be
the decision Of the interior de-
partment regarding the legal
status of the entries the Indian
Office will in good faith try to
adjust the application of the In
dian allottees for a second choice
entry so as not to conflict with
the Improvements of actual set
tiers. Senator Dixon expressed
confidence in the belief that
when the matter is finally ad-
justed by the secretary of the
interior that no settlers who
have made bonafide improve.
ments will be disturbed by any
Indian allottee.
