COMMISSION DIsBANDS;
LOCAL OFFICIALS TO ACT

The Flathead commission, COM
posed of w. G. Brown, j. H.
Vanhook and Duncan Mcdonald,
appointed to classify and re-
classify and appraise and re-
appraise any Flathead lands COM
ing within their authority, has
been disbanded, the date of such
action being Aug. 81. This COM
mission has examined many
tracts of land which had been
referred to them for examination
and their full report has been
forwarded to Washington. The
further work in this line will be
done hereafter by some one Of
local Indian office officials.
At the time the reservation
was opened to settlement and
entry it developed that the OIL
iginal commission appointed to
classify and appraise all the land
on the reservation which had
not been allotted had overlooked
a number Of tracts. These tracts
were applied for at the Missoula
and kalispell land offices for
homestead but owing to there
being no appraised value of
record, such applications were
for a time suspended, and after
June IA, 1911, were rejected.
Such tracts have all been exam
lned and appraised and reported
on. There were numerous in
stances where lands classified as
timber were applied for as home
steads, the applicants alleging
that the lands were more va]u-
able for agriculture than for tim
ber, and many of these tracts
have been re-examined for a re-
classification. Just how many
OF these tracts re-classifcation
has been recommended is not
known, as the report has not
been made public yet.
Up to date very few of the
suspended or rejected homestead
have received any
notice of the action taken there
on by the commission, but the
red tape may be unwound in the
course of time and all will then
know the result of their long
wait. An effort will be made to
have the report of the commits
sion hurried along that applicants
may speedily know whether or
not they are to get the lands
applied for.

ment. Railroads enter the city
from the north, south, east and
west, and more are headed that
way. Business lots that only a
few years ago could hardly be
sold at $3.50 have recently
changed hands at $22, 500, an
illustration of the rapid growth
and development of a marvellous
country.
Between Lewistown and Bill
lings and on south to the Wycm-
ing line, the settlement and de-
velopment has been along the
same stupendous scale and the
grain yields are said to be the
best this year so far produced.
Much of this section is what is
known as a dry farm country
and that it is now success can
not be denied. In the Yellow
stone valley, particularly around
Billings, the sugar beet industry
is the foundation of the country's
prosperity. Thousands of acres
OF beets are now maturing and
during the months of November
and December will be harvested
and shipped to the factory at
Billings, there to be manufac-
tured into sugar. The beet in
dustry annually brings hundreds
of thousands of dollars into the
valley and it has been the real
cause of the rapid advance in
land values from $40 and $50 an
acre up to $3.50 and 5000 per
acre. Grain and alfalfa are also
valuable and paying crops in that
section.
With the exception of a few
localities visited by disastrous
hail storms, the eastern part of
the. state will this year produce
a bumper crop in all lines, and
this can also be said of the en-
tire area between Billings and
Roman along the Northern Pa
clfic. But while the eastern part
of the state is going some," it |
has nothing on Western Mon
tana. Here also the fertile lands
OF Montana are yielding golden
dollars in the shape of diversi-
fed crops and nowhere in the
great state of Montana can the
Flathead be surpassed in pro-
ductiveness Or equalled in eli
mate and a pleasant place to live
and establish home. There is
only one solution = that Montana,
The Treasure State" is the
greatest in the Union.

OEvERE JACKSON
SERIOUSLY HURT

Devcre Jackson was seriously
injured last Sunday morning 10y
having a horse he was leading
to water drag him a considerable
distance. He became entanglcd
in the halter rope and before as
sistance reached him he was SO
badly injured as to be very
serious.
The horse he was watering has
habit of jumping and trying to
get away and Devere, evidently
to secure a firm hold on the rope,
had wrapped it around his right
hand in and some manner was
SO securely held that he was un-
able to loose his hold when the
time came when he should. The
horse jumped and jerked him Off
his feet and threw him under a
bridge across Spring creek and
when the rope frightened it turned
the horse a complete somersault,
breaking Mr.. jackson left leg
in the thigh, the bone protruding
through the flesh, broke his right
wrist, cut his scalp in two places
and bruised his face and body in
many places. Mr. Nice, his
partner. was forced to cut the
rope to unfastcn him and it was
with difficulty that the knot was
united from his wrist.
He was brought to town in an
unconscious condition and DR..
Fuhrer was summoned to attend
his injuries. The doctors cx-
animation revealed the injuries
above mentioned and after Sc
curing Dir. Putncy to assist him,
the injuries were attended in
proper manner. The broken
thigh was set in a specially pre-
pared box with weights attached
to keep the leg from knitting inn
properly, and the other injuries
treated.
His mother was summoned
from Missoula and DR.. Smith of
that city, a relative, accompan-
led Mrs. Jackson to Roman to be
OF such service as possible, but
found nothing remaining for him
to do in a professional way.
He was taken to the residence
of A. M. Sterling where he will
remain until recovery.
Monday he was so restless as
to displacc the broken bones in
his leg and it had to be reset
This time it was placed in a
plaster cast and hopes are enter
tained that it will not be neces-
sary to set the bones again. His
injuries are becoming healed ex-
cept his broken bones, and the
bruises are looking much better
at this time. His escape from
death is miraculous and while it
will be some time before he will
be able to leave his bed it is
thought his chances of recovery
are good.

Cutting out the muhler is.a
bad habit for motorists to ac-
quire. Tests show that the in
crease of power due to cutting
out the muffler is so small as to
hardly be accountable even in
fractions. The muff1er cut-out
is all right for testing the firing
of the cylinders and for adjust
ing the carburetor, but other
wise it only adds noise to the
machine and often frightens
horses.

caught up with him when once

Died

Katherine Alva, the five year

John Clairmont, died Sunday
morning, August 81, at the fam
lily home northeast of Roman five
miles. The immediate cause of

though she had suffered for some
time with other ailments.
The funeral services were held
Monday at St. Ignatius and in
terment was in the Catholic GEM

attendance. Prof. Fred W, Frye
is principal and his assistants
will be Miss Barbara Kain, Miss
Anna Rafferty,, Miss Helen Oh
lander and Miss Azele Savage.
The teachers have been as
signed the various grades as fol-
lows:
Miss Kahn, LIST and End grades,
81 pupils.
Miss Rafferty,. 4th and 9Th
grades. Is pupils.
Miss Oblander, 3rd and 5th
grades, Il pupils.
Miss Savage and Prof. Frye,
7th and Sth grades, IL pupils,
and high school, . pupils. Total
96 pupils.
Prof. Frye wishes to announce
that after the first two weeks no
more pupils will be allowed to
enter the primary grade, as it
causes too much confusion in
the room.
High school work will be
taught again this year and the
corps of teachers give promise of
a successful term. All the
teachers are graduates of train
ing schools, Miss Rafferty, and
Miss Ob'ander having graduated
from the state normal the same
year. Miss Savage is a graduate
of the state university and Miss
kain Of an Iowa college.
This gives Roman five rooms,
combining all the grades from
the primary to the second year
of high school. This fact alone
should be an inducement for
many to live here during the
school year, as it affords their
children an easy and economical
schooling.
The two rooms in the govern
ment building are being used
again, and also the IIealcy resi-
dence south of the main school
building. This arrangement is
the best that can be made at this
time owing to the lack of funds
to build a school house large
enough to accommodate all the
grades. 1t will not give as sat
isfactory results as q more COM
modious building would, the diff |
ferent grades being scattered
over too much territory, but I
must be put up with when it .
cannot be helped. It was hoped
that Roman would have q suitable /
building ready for this year, but
it had to be otherwise.

in the district will be taught the .

SPECIAL OFFICERS CAUSE
U. S. MARSHAL TROUBLE

United States Marshal William
Lindsay returned yesterday from
the Flathead reservation where
he went to serve some papers,
says Sundays Missoulian. He
made a trip through the lowe,
section of the reserve and came
away delighted with the country
"a district he had never visited
before, although he is almost a
pioneer in Montana. But Mr..
Lindsay had something else on
his mind. 1t worried him so much
that he stopped in the middle of
story of his trip to say:
Il hardly got into Missoula to-
day before ! was approached by
number of acquaintance who
wanted to know what | thought
OF the Ramsey case and the
Oftedal case and why | hadn' t
been over here looking after the
men, ETC., etc. Now wish that
you would explain for me that
the special Indian officers or
special United States officers
operating about Missoula, who
make business of running down
those who peddle booze to In
dians are in no way connected
with the office of United States
marshal. Ramsey, Eiklor nor
any of the others known here as
Indian officers are not deputy
United States marshals. They
have no connection at all with
my office. They work under a
separate department and the
man in charge has his head
quarters in Denver. They work
on a different system than we
do; they don't get a salary, but
receive so much for arrests and
victions = the details of which
| know nothing about.
But there has been consider
able trouble over here lately and
a great many who do not know
hold this against the office of
United States marshal. have
had to explain this 40 times this
afternoon and it gets on a fell
lows nerves, -
Even while the marshal was
talking to the reporter a man
came along who knew him and
asked him if he had decided to
discharge Ramsey because Of
the trouble he had here lately.
Now, will you believe what !
have been telling you," said Mr..
Lindsay. That's the way it's
been coming since got into
town."
But in time the visitor got back
to the subject of the Flathead.
I'm all the years / have been in
Montana, said he, Il have never
made this trip across the reser-
walton until yesterday. That Mis-
sion valley is inspiringly pretty.
1t made me long to own a ranch
out there in the shadow of the
Mission range. The crops are
fine there now; some of those on
the benches look as fine as any
irrigated grain | have ever seen
in the state. -
