NEW FORM Of RECEIPTS

p0Ilueu LlleTeCO.
"The said--shall be entitled to re-
ceive patent for the lot above de-
scribed, upon proof that at least one
half of the irrigable area in the entry,
as finally adjusted. has been reclaimed
and that all the charges, fees and COM
missions, due on account thereof, have
been paid to the proper receiving officer
of the government.
The commissioner has been in
structed to issue such certificates
to entrymen within the Flathead
Irrigation Project who may SUBJ
init satisfactory proof of resi-
dence, cultivation and improve
ment under the general home
stead laws and make payment of
the Indian price imposed upon
the land by the act of congress
opening the reservation, unless
said entryman prefer to receive,
instead Of such form of certif-
cate, the letter form now in use,
certifying compliance with law
as to residence, cultivation and
Improvement.
Trusting that this letter will
afford some measure Of relief to
the homestead entrymen in the
Elathead Irrigation Project, | re-
main,
Very respectfully,
SAMUEL ADAMS,
Acting Secretary.
In the opinion of the Pioneer,
this clears the atmosphere 50 far
as titles to the homesteads on the
Flathead reservation is concern
ed. This certificate states that
patents will be issued after the
water charges are paid. In other
words, the government holds a
first mortgage on the land for
construction charges of the irri.
cation project, and it always
has. The homesteader who
makes final proof now can sell
his land, subject, Of course, to
the lien Of the government, and
can mortgage his land with the
same condition prevailing.
These certificates can be re-
corded and abstracts of title will
show the title to be in the entry
man, in so far as anything ex-
cept a patent can show it. This
has been the practice and hereto
fore it has worked admirably.
The struggle to secure this
certificate has been carried on
without regard to adverse criti-
cism and with confidence at all
times that the government
would treat the people here fairly
in the matter. That success has
been achieved is enough COM
pensation for the labor.
The people of this valley and
this reservation are fortunate in
having a man like Mr.. Donlan
who will take enough interest in
such matters as to secure the
ear of the proper officials and to
get justice when it is due.

Some Relief Grant
ed to Settlers.

Will DLNLIII lvLnIUUuI
The Pioneer takes great pride
in stating to all homesteaders on
the Flathead reservation, with
homesteads under the reclama-
tion project, that an order has
been issued by the Assistant
Secretary of the Interior, direct
ing that Registers duplicate GER
tificates are to be again issued as
was the practice during all the
years of the operation of the
homestead laws. This certificate
was issued to everyone making
final proof and was a recordable
instrument, upon which title has
passed and mortgages given
when the entryman desired to
sell or raise money. At the first
such certificates were issued by
the register at Missoula, and was
continued until directed by the
government to no longer do so.
The certificates issued were all
called in or cancelled by the
commissioner Of the general land
office and the practice changed
to merely writing the entryman
a letter saying that his proof was
satisfactory and that no further
residence was required.
Shortly after the order was is
sued directing the register to
cease issuing such certificates,
steps were taken to have the
certificates issued again. A
form of certificate was drafted
by Coker F. Rathbone of the
Pioneer, and submitted to the
department through Hon. Ed.
Donlan of Missoula, who urged
that the matter be given speedy
attention, which was done, and
the secretary of the interior in
dicated that he would direct the
issuance of such certificates, if
they would be satisfactory to the
homesteaders here.
Afterwards the St. Ignatius
Boosters meeting was held, and
at that meeting the same matter
was discussed and the form Of
certificate as finally agreed upon
by the secretary Of the interior
to be issued, was presented to
that meeting. 1t met with the
opposition of the chairman of the
meeting, H. ]. Burleigh Of
Plains, who stated that he knew
the law and that it could not be
done without a special act of
congress. Not satisfied with
waiting for congress to pass the
law, the matter was taken up
with the secretary Of the inter-
ior, through Mr.. Donlan, and
Tuesday the Pioneer received the
following letter:
Washington, D. c.,
Sept. II, 1912.
Mr.. e. Donlan,
Missoula, Montana.
Dear Sir:
Your letter Of August 2,
1912, renewing a request for is
suance of conditional final cer-
tifcate in case the bill mentioned
in departmental letter of April
18, 1912, failed to pass, is at
hand. The bill mentioned was
drawn up in the department and
submitted to congress and intro
duced by Senator Smoot, March
%, 1912. | am sorry to say that
the bill failed of passage in either
house Of congress. Its failure
cannot in any way be attributed
to the Interior department as it
strongly advocated the passage
of the bill.
On account of the failure of
this bill, have today approved
forms of final certificate for use
in cases of cash and final home
stead entries within the Flathead
Irrigation Project, which GER
tifcates are in the usual form,
