GRANTED
Speedy Disposal of Wash
ington End of the
Matter

Saturday last A. Z, Allison wired
the good news to the local CONNER
cial club that the Interior Depart.
ment at Washington gave its sane
ton for the erection of a bridge
across the Cut Bank river at this
point. The intelligence was at once
conveyed to Chairman Marsh of the
county board and Clerk Garrett. 1t
is expected that the board will ad-
vertise for bids for the construction
of this bridge at the June meeting
of the county county commissioners.
The prompt action of the Interior
Department surprised and pleased
the local citizens. Our people have
grown so used to expecting dilatory
action and dull routine in such mat
ters that they were hardly prepared
% expect such a prompt disposal
of the matter by the powers at the
capital.
The Pioneer Press learns that a
technicality in the preparation of
the 100000 bond issue has caused
the issue to be rejected by the bond
brokers. 1t appears that the names
Of the past and present county
treasurers appear upon the litho-
graphed bonds and this must be
changed so that only the name Of
Treasurer Forrest appears. It is
but minor technicality and should
cause no delay in the proceedings,
Cut Bank and Waller, tha tqYas
most deeply interested, should be
on the alert, so that nothing may
transpire to delay the construction
of the Cut Bank and Marias river
bridges.

Is the Ban On
Duck Hunting?
meeting.

According to news reports from
Washington the hunting of ducks
and geese Is at an end and not only
here but throughout the United
States.
Hereafter it will be crime to kill
wild duck anywhere in the United
States. Wild ducks are now classed
as a migratory bird by the govern
ment in law just enacted and a
fine of 800 and ninety days i'm
prisonment are provided for viola.
tion of the law. For a long time
there has been an agitation in favor
of federal legislation for the protec-
ton of game fowl to prevent their
complete determination. 1t has
been said that wild fowl has almost
entirely disappeared all over the
country. Wild ducks have also be-
come scarce.
Since the federal law has been
passed the states cannot do anything
to change this law. They can not
make duck shooting legal. From
now on duck shooting in Montana
will be crime.
1t is doubtful if many of the duck
hunters of Montana are aware that
the new law is in existence. II
was signed by President Taft not
more than an hour before he retired
from office.
This law is not in force at the
present time, but will be upon its
promulgation by the secretary Of
agriculture. Advice from Wash
ingtcn indicates that this new Law
may not be promulgated until Oct
1st, but all depends upon the actor
of the department of agriculture.
1t must be at Washington that ,
part of the education of our Law
makers has been neglected. Their,
are more ducks and geese in tn,
west than ever before and in Cali
fornia men are hired to keep wilt
geese out of grain fields.

.LOOIE WILL
LIGHT ROCKIES
Spectacular Feature Con-
nected with Coming
Auto Tour

Announcement of the item
erary of the national A. A.
A. reliability tour from the
Twin Cities to Glacier Ma
tional Park, was accompani-
ed by the statement that
Lous w. Hill, Chairman of
the board of Directors of
the Great Northern Ry.,
will illuminate the Rocky
Mountains for the special
benefit of the tourists.
Here is how Mr.. Hill pro-
poses to have the tourists get
their first glimpse of the real
Rockies:
He will have stationed on
the mountain peaks along
the picturesque rocky range
just back of the unique log
hotel at Glacier Park station,
score of men who at a Civ
en- signal will touch off sever
al tons of red, white and
blue Roman fire. This strik-
ing illumination of the heav-
ems revealing the mountain
SCENERY will be a spectacle
that the tourists driving over
the prairies the last night
of the tour will remember.
This spectacular revelation
will be pulled off when the
pilot car of the tour is with
in forty miles of the Rocky
Mountain range.
The itinerary bears the
official sanction of the A. A.
A. This is the first time a
national reliability run has
gone to the Rocky Mountain
range and this fact, coupled
with the entry of Long
Time Sleep, a ull-blooded
Indian chief from the Glacier
Park reservation, adds con-
siderable interest to the tour.

Rowan Pleads
For Entrymen
Editor Pioneer Press:

In an article published in the Cut
Bank Tribune last week, the writer
said there was more produced on
10 acres of irrigated land than there
was on 160 under dry methods
Now, this may be all true where
irrigation is badly needed, but the
writer did not tell us the expense
connected with every acre of irri-
gated land. And the grain and
potatoes are not nearly so good in
quality as they are on the dry land.
But we homesteaders in Townships
"a, 80. 36, Teton County, Montana,
do not want irrigation, as was
shown a year ago, when two petit
tions went around and received
over four hundred signatures against
it. These petitions were to have
been sent to Washington, to the
secretary of the interior and our
representatives. from Montana, but
| guess they must have been laid to
one side and pigeonholed.
Now, what we homesteaders
want is to prove up on our land in
accordance with the homestead laws
and to receive title to same. AS il
is at present, quite a few have
proved up and did receive certifi-
cate for it, which was supposed to
be equal to a deed. In few weeks
they get served with cancellation
paper from the land Office.
This is working a great hardship
on the poor homesteader who
couldn't sell or even make a loan at
a bank in case of necessity, on ac-
count of not having title.
We don't want the expense of
irrigation in these two townships,
as the greater part of it is under
cultivation at the present time and
yielding good crops, aud more is
going under cultivation werv day.
So why try to force thing upon
the people when they do not want
it and keep them so that they don't
know where they are at?
Now, as this act of June, 1902, is
eleven years old and nothing has
been done, it is more than likely it
will be eleven years more before we
could say that our farm was our
own, unless our representatives., to-
gether with the secretary of the in
terror, bring these two townships to
a speedy settlement, so as to enable
outside capital to come in and i'm
prove the country, which cannot be
done under the existing circum-
stances.
| Hoping that a copy of this be
forwarded at once to the proper
authorities at Washington.
Yours,
| Robert Rowan, Homesteader
