FLAX YIELDS FIFTEEN
BUSHELS PER ACRE

Several farmers have thresh-
ed their flax crop and it has
yielded better than the most
sanguine estimated. Good judges
of flax culture and yields, never
placed the average per acre at
above eight or ten, but in some
instances Is bushels per acre
has been threshed.
C. E. Mclaughlin had 40 acres
and had $40 bushels, which is l6
bushel per acre, or the best so
far reported. Mr.. Gier south of
town had Is bushels and others
have been getting in that neigh
borhood per acre.
Up to time of going to press
Jackson & Nice had not finished
threshing their crop, and many
are looking to them to break the
record, as their field looked re-
markably good while maturing.

JACKSON 8 N|CE'S FLAX
% BUSHELS PER ACRE

jackson & Nice are threshing
their flax this week, and before
the rain started Tuesday had
enough Of it threshed so they
knew it would yield them better
than q bushels per acre.
Some portions Of the field
went better than 80 bushels and
when it is computed for the 100
acres it will be seen that they
have some prospects of getting
pretty good returns for the work
it took to raise it.
They will have over 5000
bushels and at the prevailing
market price should bring them
better than $4,5 500 after paying
the transportation charges.

Farmers living west of town
report the presence in their vi
cinity during the past three
months, of an official of the gov
ernment who has been making
inquiry as to the distance the
farmers must haul water for do
mestic use. This official informs
them that it is a violation of a
federal statute to allow settlers
to be compelled to use water
kept in barrels for an indefinite
period and that it is the duty of
the government to provide them
with wells from which water
may be secured.
To those who have hauled
water for their stock and for do
mestic use during the past 80
months, for from one to eight
miles, this would be welcome
news, were the government to
provide them with wells from
which water could be had.
1t does seem that it should be
the duty of the government to
supply good water for domestic
purposes just as much as to fur
nish the settlers with water to
irrigate the handsome of which
will never need the water while
the families will need it all the
time. An epidemic of typhoid
would kill off more settlers than
irrigation canals will induce to
come and good, wholesome water
would add a greater value to the
agricultural lands than most
anything the government could
provide.
The ultimate outcome of this
investigation will be awaited
with much interest and with the
water at a considerable depth,
government wells sound particu-
larly good to most all home
steaders on the reservation.

The New York Giants and the

In the first game Tesreau

The game yesterday was in

MAYOR VET0ES
AN ORDINANCE

At the Monday evening session
of the town council a change
was made in the sidewalk ordi-
nance passed at the previous
meeting. The former ordinance
provided for 1O-foot walks on B
street from Stanley Scearce's
warehouse to D. l.. Campbell's
barn on both sides of the street,
and for 8-foot walks on both
sides of Second. Third and
Fourth streets connecting A and
B streets. Mayor Rathbone
would not approve the ordinance,
believing it imposed hardships
on some citizens which were un-
necessary at this time, and the
ordinance was modified along
these lines. 1t was thought that
one walk on each street connect
ing the two business streets
would answer the present needs
and this was finally agreed to.
1t was also agreed to change the
width of the walk on the east
end of Bridge street to 8 feet,
owing to the narroWness of the
street, and to require only one
walk on that portion, which will
accommodate the people about as
we'll as two and not narrow up
the street for teams.
This was the first veto of any
measures passed and was for the
purpose alone of relieving prop
erty owners of an expense not
absolutely necessary at this time.
A number of current bills
were allowed and several build
ing permits granted.

higher classification and con-
sequently a higher appraised
value on their land than the
merits warranted and the land
was worth. This petition was
turned down by the Indian
bureau and not to be put off
with one defeat they appealed to
the Secretary of the Interior di-
rect for relief. This last effort
was successful and an official of
the Department was sent out to
make an examination of the land
in those sections. This official
has been here and very quietly
he has done his work, very few
knowing of his presence and
none talking to him that they
know Of.
Nothing is known as to what
his report will be, but should he
do them justice, the settlers in
those sections will be given a re-
duced appraisement as the land
is certainly not as valuable as
other $500 per acre land on the
reservation. The land just south
Of these sections, in township
1920, was appraised at So. SO per
acre and is just as good, and
by many said to be much
better.
In conversation with one who
knows, the Pioneer learned the
other day that a mistake was
made by the board Of appraisers
in the first instance by reason of
being misinformed as to the Sec
ton lines in that locality, and
that it was never intended to
give the land an appraised value
above $3.50 per acre.
The homesteaders out that
way are entitled to the relief
asked for and will probably re-
ceive it. ...-

FIRST NATIONAL BANK
PLANS CEMENT BUILDING

The First National Bank is
showing the exterior view and
floor plan of a building sketched
for that institution by Geo. G.
DIETRICH the cement contractor
who was here last week.
Should the bank finally decide
to erect a building modelled on
the plan received that institution
would have one of the best
homes of any bank in western
Montana.
The sketch shows a building
which will afford plenty of soft
light, very commodious rooms
and handsome in appearance.
