SETTLERS PROTEST AGAINST
THE: HIGH APPRA|SEMENT
At a meeting of the executive
of the Homesteaders'

| At q meeting of the executive
committee of the Homesteaders'
Protective Association, held at
the office of the secretary in Pol
son, Montana, on the Goth day Of
November, 1913, the following
resolutions We're unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, the commission ap-
pointed to appraise and classify
the unappraised and unclassified
lands of the FIathead Indian res
ervation has completed their
work and made their report to
the Hon. Indian Commissioner,
and
Whereas, the report of SAID
commission is entirely unsatis-
factory to a large majority of the
settlers upon said lands, and
Whereas, the prices placed up
on almost all of the said lands
are far in excess of the prices
placed upon similar lands by the
first commission, and
Whereas, the settlers upon the
unappraised lands have borne
the hardships and privations of a
frontier life in equal proportion
with those upon the appraised
lands, for an equal length Of
time. and have equally aided in
increasing the value Of the whole
country, therefore be it
Resolved, That we strongly
condemn the appraisal made by
this last commission, the same
being wholly and unjustifiably
unjust.
Resolved, That we ask the
Honorable Secretary of the In
terror to cause re-appraisement
Of these lands, that justice may
be had. and that all action in re-
gard to requiring the initial pay
ments on these lands, be slas-
pended until such time as the
values can be properly adjusted.
Resolved, That the Acts of
congress and the presidents
proclamation opening this reser-
vation contemplated that ALL of
Of the unappropriated lands
therein should be opened to set
tlement and entry at the same
time, and the settlers accepted
the inducements upon the same
promulgated basis.
Resolved, That we ask that
none Of the unappraised lands at
the time of the opening be ap-
praised at more than the maxi
mum appraisement by the old
commission, namely, seven dol
lars per acre. The same rule
should apply now as at the be-
ginning, for the reason as above
stated, the settlers on the unap-
praised lands have lived upon
said lands as long q time, and
have done as much to improve
tho whole country as those who
have been living on the ap-
DIaiScd lands.

OrIuln Of Vaudeville Turns.

VS. are Indebted to John Chinaman
for the modern vaudeville turn"
There were theaters in China when our
ancestors were wandering about dress
ed In skins and blue paint, and the ac-
tors in those faron times were just as
anxious to please their patrons as the
modern artist Is to get the applause
which gladdens his heart and-nore
important still-sends his salary up.
The play over. each member OF the
troupe came forward to receive the ap-
plause to which he thought he was en-
titled, and one Of them hit on the
bright idea Of performing some simple
trick to prolong the enthusiasm Of the
spectators His example was speedily
followed. and these tricks soon became
obligatory. One actor would produce q
cat or monkey from, hat; another
would initiate an animal or Swallow
an object which he afterward found In
his boot. Each tried to surpass the
other. and feats Of strength and dex-
terity were soon added 10 these simple
tricks. Parsons Weekly.

How. to ssII q Cow.

he, pointing to a woman. '.WeIl. I've
offered her FIVE pounds ten for her

a stranger. should offer her i've pounds
fifteen she would sell, but would not
sell to me for that. VIII You be kind
enough to take this half crown and
bind the bargain with It, and win
then pay the money and take the
cow" The good natured cattle dealer
effected the purchase as requested and
then turned to find the countryman,
but the latter was gone. He was
forced to t; ke the COW himself and
pay for her. though she was not worth
half the money he had thus bid to
oblige the missing countryman. 1t was
afterward ascertained that the woman

SHOOK 0EF DEATH.


Stuck Once Passed.
Archdeacon Stuck. who climbed
Mount Mckinley, the great American
peak. once had his life saved In q
most extraordinary way.
Late one evening. while exploring In
the arctic regions. he was unlucky
enough to fall through the ice into the
water on his way back to camp. He
was accompanied by an Eskimo boy
In charge Of sledge and a team Of
dogs. and the boy soon had him out
again, but as the thermometer was
then about 20 degrees below zero the
possibility Of saving his life seemed
very remote. He was wet through,
Of course, and before fire could have
been got well alight the chances were
that he would have frozen to death.
The resourceful boy thought Of q
better plan than that. The explorer
was already scarcely able to move, but
the boy took one Of the dogs out Of
the traces and forced the archdeacon
to take its place. Then he dashed the
unfortunate mans legs until he was
compelled to run. applying his whip
mercilessIy every time the archdeacOn
showed signs OF tagging.
In this way the boy kept him mov-
ing rapidly toward their camp, and
BY the time they reached 1t the terrible
sianguor Of death that had threatened
to overcome the archdeacon had been
shaken of. Pearson's Weekly.
