.FAIRMoNT Isl CHANGING RAPID
LY-wELL KNOWN CITIZENS
SEE GREAT DEVELOPMENT.

In travelling about the city We ex.
pect to find familiar places and points
Of interest Just as we left them few
years ago. Everybody expects to see
the old home sites, the old line tene.
ing that was familiar to them in the
few years gone by. Everything Is
changing around Fairmont,
The writer heard a remark from a
man who followed the committee in
fixing the new territorial limit around
the city of Fairmont. He walked all
day and expressed great surprise at
every turn in the boundary lines as to
what had taken place within recent
years.
This man was Mr.. J. NJ. Hartley
Fairmont's foremost merchant. whom
everybody would suppose would be SO
familiar with the growth around our
city that he would not meet with sur
prises at what is going on.
This is an inc.t;nt that would be
common to most of our business PEG.
pie. The people OF Fairmont do not
appreciate the new growth and I'm.
provements that are being made in
every quarter OF the city.
The writer had occasion to travel
over East Falrmont additions yestei
day afternoon. He found that all the
old land marks were disappearing on
what was only g year ago the George
Carpenter farm, the Sam Black farm
and the HICKMAN run valley. 1T is u
difficult matter now to determine
where the original farm lines were.
Streets have been graded and new
houses have been built over the entire
territory. Lots have been laid out and
hundreds OF people are interested in
the development. The writer follow
ed row OF stakes from a point nea.
Il. R. Meredith's residence to the
mouth of Hickman run, then up the
Monongahela river, which within the
asst few days have been placed there.
Is the proposed center line OF the r.
& L. E. railroad entering Fairmont.
Most any of our people would doubt
he statement, without referring to a
map, that 1t is practically a straight
inc from Meredith's residence to Wa:
err street, over the new survey.
The Industrial company have pro-
Dected what will some day become a
icpular drive, the Speedway, by a sur.
vey around Mob Hill, crossing Hick-
nan run near its mouth, and coming
nto East Park to the new school
house. 1t is no wonder at the conf
fence that strangers express in the
future for Fairmont, when our city is
developing so rapidly that our citizens
find themselves strangers to the old
points Of interest.

NO CELEBRATION TO
Be HELD IN ROMAN

1t has been conceded that Ro-
nan will not hold a celebration
this year. During the past two
years celebrations have been had
and it is thought best to allow
the other towns of the reserva-
ton this privilege this time.
James Harbert, president of
the Poison Chamber of Com
merce, announced last Friday
evening at the big meeting that
Poison was preparing for gil
gantic celebration and invited
everybody to attend. St. Igna-
titus and Dixon. we understand,
are also preparing for celebra-
ton and it now resolves itself

REFORMS ARE NEEDED

The meeting held in Roman last
Friday night asked for a number
of reforms in the matter OF ad-
ministering the affairs OF the
reservation. Some Of them are
badly needed. All would help in
the development Of the country
and none would injure anybody.
The administration of the at
fairs of the wards of the govern
ment on Indian reservations has
long been a source of much an
noyance to the government and
no satisfactory solution has as
yet been found. 1t seems that
what is best for some is not for
others, and thus affairs are not
to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned.
Take the matter of leasing the
Indian lands as an example.
Some of those who have allot-
ments here are willing and
anxious to have their lands i'm
proved, as they realize and
know the benefits which must
come through the land being
cultivated, fences built and
houses erected. Others, not hav-
ing the education Or the mental
faculty Of grasping the result so
far as their welfare is concerned,
allow their lands to remain in
the virgin state and they are re-
celvlng nothing at present nor
prospects for the future. 1t is
claimed that had the Indian
agent the authority to lease GER
tain of these allotments on his
own motion, that it would be
much better for everybody.
Those who would lease the land
as we'll as the allottee. The res
olution may have been little
too broad in scope to allow all
lands leased by the agent but in
the main this plan would work
out all right. No agent would
The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1913-05-23

think of leasing the land of the
Indian who desired to farm it
himself and the Indian who will
signify a willingness to do so
will be encouraged in every way.
1t is those who will not do SO,
those who reside away from the
reservation and the old, infirm
and lncompetents who should
have their lands leased and i'm
proved without being consulted
thereon.
AS it is now, a man with
means and willing to take a
chance on leasing the allotments,
must first find the allottee, make
a bargain with him, then take
the person to the agency and
secure the consent of the agent
to the agreement and, in fact,
make two contracts. one with
the allottee and the other with
the agent. This process is slow,
expensive and very unsatisfac-
tory to the lessee and lessor
alike. Many who would other
wise become farmers and citi-
zens Of the country are soon dis
gusted with the procedure and
go away commenting unfavor-
ably on the country and the man.
ner in which the affairs are adj
ministered. On the other hand,
were it possible to go direct to
the agent and make inquiry as
to what lands are available for
lease, know the terms in advance
of looking over the land, and
know that it was a certainty
that a lease could be made for
five years, then it would not be
but a short time until every 40
acre tract in the Mission valley
would be under cultivation, pro-
ducing some good to every per-
son here and making valuable
the holdings of the allottees at
the same time. In this same
connection it should be provided
that when lease money is paid
that it shall Immediately revert
to the allottee, that much dis
tress now existing may be pre-
vented. The money derived
from the leases belongs to the
allottee and should be paid dur
ing the lifetime of the person
who is entitled to receive it.
Many of the allottees are en-
titled to receive patents to their
lands but are unable to get them
issued. At present the issuance
of a patent depends entirely up
The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1913-05-23

on the recommendation of the
agent. If he desires he may
withhold his approval and there
the matter ends. His likes or
dislikes may determine. the case
either for good or evil. A board
such as is suggested would not
be subject to such charges and
it seems would solve the problem
more satisfactorily.
In reference to the sale of de-
ceased Indian lands, the present
plan prevents many from at
tempting to buy the land. In
the first place, it is too cumber-
some and allows too much chance
of fraud. Were the lands offered
for sale at public auction, like
state lands are sold. and the bid
ders certain OF getting the land
at the prices offered, it would all
soon be in the hands of actual
occupants and become an asset
to the country instead of being
allowed to remain undeveloped
and the cause of much criticism.
The other resolutions have oil
been discussed many times be-
fore and all are timely and need
attention. These matters should
be attended to speedily and
some satisfactory solution made
of them. Not to the entire ad-
vantage of the white man, but
with due regard to the rights of
the Indian as we'll.
