Appraisment and Classi-
ficatiOn of Land Asked

A special to the Great Falls
Tribune from Washington, D.
c., says:
Representative Pray has had
further interview and correspon-
dence with officials of the interior
department, the Indian bureau
and the reclamation service in
regard to the settlement of un-
classified and unappraised lands
on the Flathead Indian reserva-
tion. These were taken up by
Mr.. Pray to secure an early and
satisfactory settlement, and he
says that the officials have assur-
him that the matter will be given
a thorough investigation and he
will be furnished with a full re-
port within a short time. Mr..
Pray this week received a pre-
liminary report from the commits
sioner of Indian affairs in regard
to the attitude of that bureau in
the matter. 1t gives a compre-
hensive statement of the stu
alton.
"Although this is a matter in
which the general land office, the
department of Indian affairs and
the reclamation service seem to
be involved" said Represent
ative Pray, Il believe satisfac-
tory adjustment will be made
within a short time.''
In the memorandum from the
interior department, office of In
dian affairs, to Mr.. Pray, giving
the status Of the case, it is stated
that a large number of tracts in
the Flathead reservation have
been relinquished by the allottees
and other lands taken in lieu
since the commission of 1904
completed it's work. There is
left a number of areas not classi-
fled and appraised at the time
the surplus lands were opened to
settlement. The changes in the
Indian allotments were due to
the fact that their former hold
ings in some cases were located
in reservoir sites and power sites
needed by the reclamation SER
vice, in other cases because the
Indians wished to change their
holdings owing to alleged mis-
takes in giving to them patents
for the land which they had not
intended to take, and for lands
other than those on which they
have made improvements. The
bureau says that the tracts which
have not been appraised are not
subject to settlement and entry,
but the Kalispell and Missoula
land Offices have accepted large
numbers of filings for these un-
classified lands, marking them
suspended pending classifica-
tion," with the understanding
that when classified and apprais-
ed the applicant will be given
preference right to enter the
lands selected. In some cases
the settlers have erected consid-
cradle improvements on these
tracts.
In regard to the relinquishing
by the Indians of allotments in
reservoir and power sites and
their acceptance of unclassified
tracts the department says,
"Some adjustment must be
made Of these conflicts in the
near future, and recently the
general land office submitted the
question to the department. The
matter was referred to the In
dian office and it reported that it
had no desire to impose hardships
on the shttlers, but it felt the in
terests of the Indians should be
protected to the extent of seeing
that when they relinquish their
allotments in power and reser-

Mission Valley Farmers
Reaping Bumper Crops

Monday afternoon A. M. Ster
ling drove up to the Pioneer of
flee with one of his livery teams
and invited the writer to acom
pany him on another trip into the
country around Roman. The in
vitation was accepted and away
we went. This trip was to the
northeast and the farms of Frank
Mcleod, ST., Alphonse Clair
mont, E. j. Davenpart and Fred
Simmons were visited before re-
turning home. At each place
the men were deep into haying,
and the crop is such as to cause
anyone to wish he were the own
er of one of these places. The
hay being placed in the stacks is
timothy and is about so per cent
better this year than last.
At Fred Simmons, where he
is leasing some of the Pablo land,
is to be found the heaviest crop
seen this year. Fred will have
over 200 tons of as fine hay as
was ever fed a thoroughbred
when he has finished, and that
means some money in a country
where hay never sells for less
than it does here.
At each of the places visited,
and, for that matter, all along
the route, is also to be found
some Of the prettiest fields of
wheat, oats and barley any coun-
try ever produced. We found
M. 0. McCollum making the first
round with his push binder in a
field of barley, and words to de-
scribe this crop fail entirely. 1t
is wonderful and his returns will
show the truth of this statement.
Fred Roullier has cut around his
fields of wheat with a mower so
as to have ample room for his
binders to work, and by this
time is cutting and shocking a
crop the like of which would be
the envy of any eastern farmer.
His grain bins will be overflow
ing this fall. e. J. Davenport
had two mowers at work cutting
hay and expects to be engaged
in this work for ten days yet.
His grain crop is coming on fast
and will be good and ready by
the time he gets to it. By the
way, Mrs. Davenport has an ex-
cellent brand of butter milk on
tap and serves it unstintingly.
Alphonse Clairmont had a force
of six men and teams putting the
last of his hay in the stack. He
estimates his crop at $50 tons
and it will be of excellent quality.
Fred Simmons had six men be-
sides himself at work in his hay
ield, and they are putting it in
he stack just as rapidly as pos
,ible.
Some of the farmers in that
part of the valley will use head
RS to cut their grain this season.
:. E. Mclaughlin. C. E. MARBLE
md Fred Simmons, joining forces,
will thresh their grain right from
;he headers, and expect to cut
md thresh about 70 acres per
lay. They will not start as soon
Is some owing to this fact, allow
ng the grain to become thor
'ughly dry and ripe before cut
ing it.
John Bohnbach has what is
aid to be as fine a piece of wheat
f not the best, to be found any,
where in this vicinity. 1t is
ruly a great field and shows
What good farming will accomp-
ish. These are only few of
he farmers in that section who
lave good crops, to mention all
would be superf1ous.

Lincoln Center Kan, Nov 16.-
E. G. Clark, James Fitzwater and
John Scranton, three prominent
young men of this place pleaded
guilty to assault here today when ar
raigned on the charge of having tar
red and feathered Miss Mary Cham
berlain, a school teacher.
The attorneys for the defense
pointed out the facts that in Kansas
there is no law covering tarring and
feathering, and they considered 1t
safer to plead guilty to assault than
stand trial.
Sentence was withheld until the
end of the present term of court.
As soon as the case of the three al
legged ringleaders was disposed of,
the court proceeded with the trial of
Sheriff. Clark, A. N. Sims, John

men charged with applying the tar
and feathers to the school teacher.
A jury was quickly selected, and
