phases of the subject was very
interesting.
Senator Walsh then took up
the status of the water rights
on Cut Bank and discussed a
plan whereby homesteaders de-
string to irrigate tracts of land
in the section north OF town
might arrange with the Govern
ment to extend the bitches to
that section. He seemed to
entertain the belief that this
would be more i feasible and
economical than doing it by pri-
vate enterprise, since the big
bitches and dams on the reserve
side are already completed. He
promised tostake this matter up
with the reclamation service
when he reached Washington
and convey the results of his
findings to the commercial club.

Valier to Make a
Move for Division
So Says Montanan. Cut
Bank to Be Left
in Teton

We wish the Choteau Mon
tanan had either given us more
information concerning Valier's
new county division plan or had
kept it sub rosa entirely. Our
curiosity is whetted. Conrad
seems to have concluded that it
is "a long long way to Upper
ary' when it comes to parceling
off a new county out of what
is left OF Teton What are the
designs of Waller? Doubtless
the Waller maps will tell. Those
division maps are always SO
clear and obvious, you know.
But let's watchfuIly wait and
mayhaps we shall learn Some
thing soon. Here's what the
Montanan says:
The Montanan has been in
formed by reliable parties that
the citizens of Waller are maxi
ing preparations and within a
few days will have completed
their plans for a brand new
county division scheme, with
Waller as the county seat. We
have not been able to learn the
boundaries of the proposed new
county, but have been given to
understand that both the towns
of Conrad and Cut Bank are to
be left in Teton.

Hearts Adrift'

In Hearts Adrift,,' which
will be the big four reelfeature
at the Electric Theatre next
Monday evening, Mary Pickford
plays a character entirely new
to her followers, that of Nina,
"a little castaway, who is
washed ashore after a ship
wreck on a South Sea island.
Nina survives the hardships of
the desolate island, and leads a
primitive life, subsisting on
fruit, fish and herbs, and con-
trives crude garments from
skins and fibre. This charming
natural environment will add
interest to the naive, bewitch-
ing characterization of Miss
Pickford.
Later Fate sends another cast
away to the island, for whose
happinese the little half-savage
suffers much, and eventually
sacrifices her life. The pathos
of the tragic denouement of the
story is tenderly softeued by
Miss Pickford'e delicate and re-
pressed portrayal. Miss Pick
ford attains a high dramatic
power in the production and
strikes a strong note of uplift in
the supreme sacrifice which is
the climax of Nina's devotion to
her lover.
When Mary Pickford an
nounced her intention to aban-
don 1.-THE stage indefinitely and
appear in the Famous Players
productions, the public antici-
pated a series of pretentions
subjects particularly selected to
fit their favorite. In Hearts
Adrift. twill be encountered just
the story and atmosphere to
emphasize Little Mary's" inim-
table art.

Rush at Dutton

Doesn't appeal as though the
Montana land fever had sub
sided much. The Great Falls
papers report that thousands of
homeseekers made mad rush
for the Dutton bench, on the
date of their restoration to the
public domain. The following
gives an account of the fever
ish desire of the homeseek-
ers to secure a tract of this
Teton county land:
What to a certain extent re-
sembled one of the old time land
rushes took place today in the
vicinity of Dutton, nearly 40
miles northwest of this place,
when tract Of abont 10000
acres of land was thrown open
to settlement. This land had
been withheld from entry for a
number of years under the Sun
river irrigation project, but with
the curtailment of the scope of
that project it was made sub
ject to filing. Today was the
day set forth as the time for the
effecting Of settlement and
hundreds of people, estimated
at 600, were lined up during the
previous night waiting for the
hour, fixed at 9 a. M, when
they could get upon their se-
lectiohs. Men and women on
horseback. in automobiles, bug
gies and wagons participated.
Scores of homesteading shacks
had been built on wheels on ad-
Joining lands, ready to be haul
ed to the claims, anr when night
fell the smoke from hundreds
of shacks and tents arose from
the prairie claims. 1t is esti-
mated tonight that about 60 per
cent of the 10000 acres were
settled upon during the day, and
one half section is known to
have II claimants. Other claims
have as high as six or seven,
and a largcsnurnber are claimed
by from two to five claimants.
In the rush several runaways
of teams occurred, but as far
as can be learned no serious
clashes have occurred. Farmers
on adjoining deed ed lands charg-
ed from $25 to $50 for permits
to build and store wheeled
homestead shacks. Land locat-
ors reaped quite a harvest, but
the numerous claimants for
many of the claims will un-
doubtedly result in endless liti-
cation.

Walsh Thinks the
Chance is Good
Believes Biackfeet Will be
Opened Early in
Coming Year

United States Senator T. j..
Walsh was a visitor in Cut
Bank last Saturday and address
ed a mass meeting of business
men and rancherS at the Com
mercial Club ooms at four
o'clock that afternoon. The
Senator had been over the Flat
head irrigation project and from
there came to Glacier Park and
the Blackfeet Reservation, to
look after number Of matters
pertaining to Indian rights, mat
ters that will come up at the
coming session.
Martin jacobson presided at
the meeting and introduced
Senator Walsh, who delivered a
plain, straightforward talk of
nearly an hour, on matters rel-
alive to the Blackfeet reserve
and the status Of the water
rights held by the Indians, on
Cut Bank river.
Senator Walsh went into all
the details concerning the legis-
lative acts having to do with
= = .
the opening Of the Blackfeet.
He declared that the plan to
open the eastern section had the
support Of all concerned in the
welfare of the Indians and those
who desire to see the portion
now under irrigation and more
fitted for agriculture opened and
developed. He felt certain
that he measure would be
favorably acted upon at the
coming session of Congress and
was inclined to th NIX that this
portion would be opened early
in the coming year.
His analysis of existing con-
ditions on the Blackfeet was
most comprehensive and thor
ough, in keeping with the repu-
tation of the Montana senator
for deep study and introvertible
facts. His discourse was listen
ed to with rapt attention and
those present felt that they
were receiving sidelights on the
important questions under dis
cuSsi0n that were most valuable.
At the conclusion Senator
Walsh invited discussion Of the
manner most popular here for
the opening of the Blackfeet. He
stated that it was his opinion
that the better method would be
to dispose of the lands by auc-
tion, restricting the bidding to
bona fide homesteaders. He be-
lieved this would bring in a
more substantial class of people
and rebound to the benefit of
all interested. Martin Jacob
son, JAS. Perrine and Rev.
Hawkins spoke briefly and
were in accord with this plan.
