WESTERN SENATORS FIGHT
CONNECTICUT RIVER BILL

The fight over the govern
ment's right to tax and control
water powers in the various
states is expected to open in the
senate this week when Senator
Burton will move to take up the
Connecticut river dam bill.
against which the western sena-
tors are directing a united attack.
Senator Bankhead, who heads
the minority of the commerce
committee, opposed to the feder-
al control principle, informed the
senate body Wednesday that the
minority now is a majority of the
committee.
He will attempt to secure con-
troll of the bill in the senate. If
the opponents of federal control
fail in their efforts to amend the
bill Senator Borah will demand
the adoption of an amendment
relieving settlers on irrigation
projects from paying for the con-
struction of irrigation dams.
At present settlers on irriga-
tion projects are assessed the full
cost of the dam, and, Senator
Borah said, IF this new princi-
pie is to be adopted they will have
no control over the dams and the
power they may develop and
should not be compelled to pay
for them."

to be appointed by the chairman.
Stanley Scarce, A. J. Brewer

NewCountyC Confer
enCe a Failure
REpuD|A7Es GOV. STEWART

The conference committee OF
ten, appointed to endeavor to
come to some agreement con-
cerning the boundaries of the
proposed new county of Lake,
and the officers to be appointed,
should the new county be organ
lied at this time, met in Poison
last Monday evening. The south
ern members of the committee,
composed of Andrew Beckwith
and M. A. O'Connell of St. Ig-
nativs, and A. M. Thornburgh,
A. M. Sterling and Ross Lemire
Of Roman, braved the elements
that day and drove to Poison
in one of the worst storms
of the season. There they met
the committee from the northern
section composed Of A. W. Pipes,
J. H. Stevens, and J. L. Nc
Michael of Poison. a Mr.. Proctor
of Proctor and a Mr.. LaWliss of
Dayton.
The conference lasted from
early in the evening until after
2 o'clock am. Tuesday morning,
and the net result of their labor
can best be expressed by a zero
mark.
The southern members upon
returning to Roman, gave out the
following as an official record of
what actually transpired at the
meeting and it is a correct state
ment of what actually trans
pired:
The committee agreed to con-
slider the questions involved in
the same order as they are re-
cited in the Whiteside bill now
pending in the senate. The first
subject was the question of terri
tory to be Incorporated within
the limits of the proposed new
county. The committee was
unanimously of the opinion that
the new county should include
all the territory commencing near
the corner of townships 25 and
26 north, ranges 18 and 19
west, and running thence south
along the east boundary of the
reservation and following the
reservation line clear around to
it's northwest corner, and thence
running north one township fur
rher and thence east to the place
of beginning. In other words, /
the county would include the en-
tire reservation and in addition
a row of townships extending
along the north boundary of the
reservation.
The next question of import
ance was the arrangement or
division of county officers. The
committee unanimously decided
to select one county commissioner
from the north end and one from
the south end and to divide the
appointment of the county offices
in like manner, taking the offices
in the same order as the White {
side bill. The south side won the ,
toss for first choice which gave {
us the first Office on the list that {
of county treasurer-andt the re-
offices were allotted al i
ternately. s
This plan would have given the c
southern. portion the treasurer, a
clerk of the district court, county n
attorney, sheriff and public ad- n
Ininistrator, and the northern |,
portion the county assessor, clerk b
and recorder, superintendent of p
schools, surveyor and coroner. "
The next subject was the des- t
gnation of the third county COM O
missioner and upon that point d

ALL EYES ON THE FLATHEAD

Recent reports from different
sources indicate that there is 60
ing to be great deal of develop
ment this year in the western
part OF the state; particularly on
the Flathead reservation" says
the Helena Independent. 1T is
now a pretty we'll established
fact that the Northern Pacific
railway will builsi a line across
this reservation, probably start
ing at Dixon and heading north
through the center of the Flat
head valley to Poison and the
southern extremity of the Flat
head lake. The railway situation
on the Flathead reservation at
present is a rather peculiar one.
Three railroads are watching
that country with anxious eyes,
and all three will start to build
Immediately on knowledge that
either one Of the other has be-
gun operations. These three
roads are the Northern Pacific,
the Great Northern and the Mil
waukee. A fourth, the 500, is
now making active preparations
to extend it's line from the west
ern part of North Dakota clear
across the central part of Mon
tana, and will, very probably,
swing south through the Flat
head. This is the reason why
the Northern Pacific is quietly
making preparations to build in
the spring.
''The Flathead reservation is a
historical place. Fifty years ago
it was the home and hunting
grounds of the Flathead Indians.
Today it is still the home of
these braves, but 10, what a
change. The condition of the
Indian there is chaotic. He has
lost his original characteristics in
the contest for existence with
the whites who have come there,
He has been relegated to the
rear in the onward march of de-
velopment, and he is hartbroken
and an object of pity. For all
that, the Indian still remains on
the Flathead, for the federal
government has allotted them
there, and there they must stay
until such time as they are given
the patents to their respective
allotments of land, and in the
nothing is being done
to improve the land. The In
dian has no instinct for work
and has no desire to learn to
farm. An agent is placed in
charge of them who is supposed
to look after their interests,
lease and sell their land when
necessary, and otherwise take
care of them and their children.
"This policy would be all right
+ the government had not
thrown open the reservation to
he whites. But a large part of
he land on the reservation is
low owned by the whites who
want and are willing to make a
inc agricultural country out of
he whole valley. They cannot
make the headway they desire
m account of the fact that so
much of this Indian land is tied
'p by government red tape and
nay not be leased or sold. !,
For all of these difficulties, .
ne Flathead is going to see a -,
reat deal of development in the =,
ear future. The railroads know !
nat a bumper crop, such as
as raised there last year, is =
'ell worth transporting to mar y
ct, and they will delay no long, = =

ailroads is never to build until n

temporary county seat we founc
the committee from the north
end not altogether in unison or
the subject. The attitude OF
the committeeman from the north
end was that the third county
commissioner should be taken
from the vicinity of Poison and
that Poison should be designated
by the whole committee as the
temporary county seat. OF
course, a long discussion ensued
and the committeeman from the
south end offered to leave the
selection of the temporary coun-
ty seat to the board of county
commissioners and furthermore
offered to leave the selection of
the third commissioner to some
suitable person residing outside
the limits of the proposed county.
The name of Governor Stewart
was suggested in that connec-
ton, although the members of
the committee from the south
end were entirely willing that the
selection should be made by some
other person and in fact by any
good, reputable man of affairs in
the state. Our advances in this
direction, however, met with no
response from the other men,
bers OF the committee, except on
the part Of one of the members
from Poison, who, while not
fully in accord with the views of
his colleagues upon the commit
tee, would not go to the extent
OF voting against their views.
Under these circumstances and
in view Of the fact that the COM
mitteemen from the north end
declined to suggest any conpro-
mise measure Or to accept any
modification of their views, there
was no other course open to the
committeeman from the south
end than to terminate the confer
ence without any definite results.
The meeting was most pleasant
and agreeable and we feel that
responsibility for failure to get
together on a mutual plan cannot
be placed, on the members of the
committee from the south end.
Although without actual re-
suit, we feel that the conference
was OF benefit to all who par
and that it tended to
broaden the views of all and to
show the advantages to be gained
oy mutual cooperation. If it did
else,it promoted the good
feelings that exists with all the
people who live in the south end

Take Plenty Of Time to Eat.

There is saying that rapid
eating is slow suicide. If you
have formed the habit Of eating
too rapidly you are most likely suf-
fering from indigestion or consti-
patton, which will result eventually
in serious illness unless corrected.
Digestion begins in the mouth.
Food should be thoroughly masti-

you have a fullness Of the stom-

have been cured by the use of
these tablets. They are easy to
take and most agreeable in effect

the fact that his conclusions are
based on actual calculations which
can be verified by anyone wishing
10 do 80. Suffice it here to say
that, according to his figures, we
could reduce cur taxes 40 per cent
within fl years, and at the end
of 90 years, or one-half the time
it would require to dispose of Our
holdings under the present limit
atiOns, we should have fund Of
1890, 900, which, at 4 per cent in
terest would produce the enormous
sum of s37, 236, 900 per annum. The
loaning Of this immense principal
would provide at this low rate, all
the money needed in the state, for
county, municipal, irrigation and

farm loans for all time to come.
You will no doubt observe that
these two subjects which l have
discussed are closely related and
that they are Of vast Importance
to our people. One Of them certain
ly and perhaps both, will require
constitutional amendments before
they can be made effective. In the
ordinary course Of events these a
mendments cannot be proposed by
the legislature until its session in
1915, nor be acted upon by the peo-
pie until the next general election
in 1916. This loss of time must, I
think, be regretted by all who
have given any study to those large
subjects having to do with our ma
terial development.
MY specific purpose is inviting
your attention to these matters,
having so strong a relation to our
future prosperity is to urge you
to study them in order that You
may be able to pass upon them in
