The Indians held a war dance
here Monday and Tuesday nights
with a large attendance. AS
Ash Wednesday occurred this
week, it was the occasion of a
a large number Of Indians as
sembling at the Mission for re-
ligious services.
On Monday evening last a sur

the St. Ignatius opera house by
his many friends. Mr.. Seward
was presented with a handsome
leather upholstered rocking chair
and many were the expressions
that he might live many years to
enjoy the same.
A. K. Lusk, bookkeeper for
the Beckwith Mercantile Co. who
has been visiting his parents in
Washington, D. c., for the past
six weeks, has returned home
and is to be found at his usual
duties. He says he enjoyed the
visit and the activity of official
life in the capital, but for all that
is glad to be back in the free
omen air of The west.
A deal was made this week by
which the P. c. Thompson stock
of general merchandise and the
store building and fixtures was
sold to Christ Thompson of
Franklin, MIMI, father of P. G.

the Mission very much.
ST. IGNATIUS COMMERCIAL CLUB.
At an enthusiastic meeting of
the citizens of ST. Ignatius, held
Monday evening at the Mission
Hotel, the Mission Development
club was reorganized and adopted
the name Of the St. Ignatius
Commercial club.
The officers elected were as
follows, A. B. Beckwith, presi-
dent; G. w. Buckhouse, vice
president; V. A. Mccormack,
secretary, and G. H. Beckwith,
treasurer.
A report of the meeting of the
Western Montana Association of
Commercial Clubs was read by
President A. B. Beckwith, who
attended that meeting. His re-
port was adopted and the club
unanimously agreed to join the
association and to make every
effort to carry out the ideas of
the association. 1t was voted to
Immediately extend an invitation
to the clubs at Roman, Poison,
Thompson, Dixon other associ-
ations on the reservation to send
representatives to meet at St.

Injustice Recognized.

to homesteaded lands was pre-
sented to the delegates to the
commercial clubs meeting at Mis-
soula last Thursday, it awakened
at interest not often witnessed.
The matter was so palpably an
injustice that each and every
one present were ready to assist
in every way to rectify the
wrong. In private conversation
and in publicly expressing them
selves all seemed Of one mind,
and that was that congress should
pass the legislation needed to re-
lieve the settlers of the situation
they find themselves in.
1t is a serious condition with
many. To have complied with
all the requirements Of the home
stead law as to residence, cult
walton and submission of final
proof, and then to be denied the
privilege of selling or mortgage
ing the same, is something that
never before occurred, except in
isolated cases. Many who have
made final proof have done SO
that they might be in a position
to raise money on the land to
continue further improvements,
Or to pay debts already incurred.
1t prevents them from doing so.
Numerous instances have come
to the knowledge of the writer
where men have made final proof
that they would be able to Sc
cure q loan and with the money
so raised were to buy dairy COWS,
horses, hogs, or invest the money
in some other enterprise to en-
able them to earn q living on the
land. Many of those who have
taken the small farm units real
ize that it must be some such
enterprise as dairying or diversi-
fed farming they must engage
in, or their land is of little value
to them. The small tracts are
too small unless they get all it is
possible to get out of the land.
Dairying is a favorite, contem-
plated by many, and unless they
are able to secure money with
which to purchase the COWS, will
be prevented from engaging in
this lucrative enterprise. This
is also true of any other business
they may undertake. 1t not only
Injuries the farmer, but it Injuries
every other business in the whole
valley. Merchants with limited
capital are unable to carry Gus
toners for any great length of
time, and with only meagre
means of raising the money to
pay such obligations, it works a
hardship on all.
Just why some receipt which
would show the facts cannot be
devised and issued by the depart
ment is beyond comprehension.
If a receipt Or certificate were
issued showing the bare facts,
that would be ample, and men
with money would be glad to
loan it on the security offered.
This receipt or certificate should
show that everything has been
done which the law says shall
be, except the reclamation of
one-half the irrigable area and
the payment of the water charge.
1t should also show that the as
signee of the original homestead
err should be allowed to complete
the further requirements, just
the same as the original entry
man would be. This would cover
the entire matter fully, and
would satisfy all concerned
1t would be nothing but SIM
ply justice that it be done. Our
members of congress should real
ize that it is an important mat
ter to many of their constituents
and should bend every energy to

Should Senator Dixon succeed
in having the appropriation of
$4,000 added to the Indian bill
to construct new agency buildings
on the Flathead, it would seem
the proper thing to move the
agency to Roman. 1t is the most
central location, the government
has the necessary amount of land
here and besides, Roman is the
proper place for it. More people
come to Roman every day in the
year than to any other town on
the reservation and it would
accommodate more people here
than anywhere else.

There are no marriage VOWS, and

Some time ago the Government
began the task Of alloting a farm
to each Winnebago. Then arose
the question of land for the child
rem. And. further. to whom did
the children belong? II was an al
most impossible task to which the
Government agents set themselves.
But the work was completed at last
and each Indian received a farm.
There remained a tremendously
large amount of what is termed
"heirship" land, and there was
question as to whom this land be-
longed. The wiser Indians saw the
trouble, and were intelligent enough
to see that some way must be pro-
vided by which the title to future
heiship land could be kept straight.
They discussed the matter with the
missionaries, the Indian Agent and
with lawyers Of the adjoining tribe
OF Omaha. 1t was settled that the
only remedy lay in marriage ac-
cording to the State Winnie

ruins of which still exist, but the
land Is now barren by drought,

pose to reconstruct the ancient
works on an enlarged and improv-

the overflow from the Euphrates
can be led, and they expect to be
able to regulate the Tigris, though
this is more difficult feat that the
ancients never fully accomplished.
TIE probable great productiveness
of the delta of the two rivers under
suitable irrigation is indicated by
analyses showing the soil to be

When 1000 Indian Couples
Will glitch Up"
ONE CEREMONY WILL SUFFICE
Members of WinnebagO Tribe
Have Very Loose Method
of Married Life.
WILL TRY THE PALE FACE WAY

The entire tribe of Winnebago
Indians has decided to get married.
In formal council last week, in
which every male on the reserva-
ton participated, the Indians voted
to forsake the ways of their faith
ers in the matter of matrimony
and to marry in the white mans
way. The action is to be retroac-
tive, and now the Indians are pre-
pairing for the greatest marriage
feast ever known. AS soon as the
arrangements can be made some
thing like 1000 couples of Indians
will stand up and be married at the
same time and by the same cere-
mony. Double weddings are not
common; triple weddings are rare;
Quadruple weddings are almost un-
heard of. But when the 1000
Winnebagoes stand up to be Joined,
the marriage record for all time
will be broken.
The Indians are making great
preparations for the event, but
these probably will not be complet-
ed until spring. No Indian tribe
would miss an opportunity of this
kind to receive presents. In fact,
when the big wedding is over, the
Winnebagocs expect to be the rich

CHICAGO. May with 1000 strike

While the action of the teamsters

they would refuse to back their wagons
