DEMANDS RELEASE
Red-skn of FIathead Reservation
Raises Question of State Law
Fished With Spear.

Helena.-Is it against the state law
for an Indian to fish with a spear on
the confines of a government Indian
reservation?
This is a question which was raised
by Antoine Larose, a Flathead Indian,
when he petitioned Federal Judge
George M. Bourquin for writ of
habeas corpus, demanding his release
from the Missoula county Jail. Judge
Bourquin signed an order requiring
the Missoula county authorities to
produce Larose in court and show
cause why he should not be given his
liberty.
In his petition the redskin sets forth
that he was arrested on the Flathead
Indian reservation on May "a of this
year, and charged in a justice court
complaint with attempting to catch fish
with a spear. 1t is shown in the petit
ton that the Indian was tried on that
charge, found guilty and sentenced to
pay fine of $25 or serve 10 days in
the county Jail.

TREASURE STATE FAIR HELD
Thirteenth Annual Exposition opened
In Heena-Grain Exhibits
Finest on RECORD.

Helena.-The 18th annual Montana
state fair was held in Helena under
circumstances more favorable than in
any year of the eXpositions history.
Horse racing was feature attrac-
ton. The state fair management
named Tuesday Aviation Day." the
first time an airman has been thus
honored in the state. Disbrow, Hear
ne, Bianchi, henry, Milton, Clarke,
LIE Coou and Striege1 started in the
state fair races, the first sanctioned
three-days' meet ever held under the
auspices of the International Motor
Contest association.
The cattle barns were teeming with
livestock. Among the entries were
the Jean Duluth herd of Guernseys
and Red Polled from Duluth and the
Walter Hill herd of Shorthorns from
Northcote, on the way rom the Min
nesota state fair to the PanamaPaci-
fic exposition.

7 MONTHS ON HOMESTEADS
Must Show Actual Residence on
Land During Full Period"

n.-Homesteaders who de-
sire to prove up under the three-year
law must make continuous residence
upon the land selected for seven full
months in the year.
In recent decision handed down by
the secretary of the interior, in the
case of Blanche Westbrook, the secre-
tary holds as follows:
Proof submitted under the three
year homestead law must show act
ual residence upon the land entered
for at least seven months each year
for three years, and the land depart
ment is without power to extend the
privilege of constructive residence for
absence during the seven months Pc
riod.
THE requirement that the entry
man shall actually reside upon his
claim for seven months each year
does not, however, preclude short ab-
sences such as are ordinarily neces-
sary and incident to the conduct of
farm.

CHILDREN BURNED IN HOME.
Tragedy Wipes Out Family of Melvin

Lewistown.-A frightful tragedy oc-
CURED at the home of Mr.. and Mrs
Melvin Tucker, eight miles north of
the Moccasin experiment farm, when
their house was burned to the ground
in their absence and their five chill

an oyerheated stove.
Mr.. Tucker was engaged in thrash

KNIFE is THE BEST WEAPON
Training Of Infantry on the Continent
Hereafter Will Include Hand
to-Hand Fighting.

Today the defense stands pat on
earthworks, wire and machine guns.
The attack has tried gas, petrol, bayo-
nets, siege artillery, field artillery,
grenades and mines, and has come
out, generally speaking, second best.
Trench mortars have not developed
the requisite accuracy nor the requi
site destructive power. High-explo-
sive shells in sufficient quantities have
accomplished the best offensive work,
and the infantry is depending more
and more on short, heavy knife.
which is the best for work under
ground or in the dark. To sum up:
killing the defenders of position
is accomplished by shells fired at least
two miles away on the average; and,
secondly, by what the French call
body-to body fighting, for which a
knife is the best weapon. The train
ing of infantry on the continent will,
IN the future, undoubtedly include the
technique of hand-to-hand struggles
for which physical agility and strength
must be developed.-New Republic.

CLOSES GREATEST HARVEST
Montana Farmers Increase Wheat
Acreage BY % Per Cent-Rain-
fall Heaviest On Record.

Bil1ings.-Montana is closing the
greatest harvest it has ever known.
When wheat took it's phenomenal rise
last fall, the farmers of this state
exerted every effort to put every avail
able acre into crop. AS result, fully
25 per cent more acreage was put into
grains this year than last, and wheat
was planted in patches of land former
ly used for other purposes. The wheat
crop for 1914 was about 18,356,000 bu-
shells. The wheat crop for this year,
according to conservative estimates
made by the United States department
of agriculture, will reach 25,000,000 bu-
shells.
From every part of the state come
reports of fine crops. In not single
section was there a failure. The only
damage done grain was by hailstorms.
This was so small as to be negligible.
Montana had heavier rainfall through
out the summer months than at any
time since the state was settled.
In addition to the wheat, which will
be the principal crop this year, oats
had an unusually successful season.
Oats ranked a close second in crop
prouction last year, and while wheat
has shown much greater increase
oats were also largely planted this
year and a bumper crop is being
threshed. Last year the farmers of
this state harvested 1S,550,000 bushels
of oats and this year they are har-
vesting about 22,000,000 bushels.

Holds Law Applicable.

Foreign corporations that want to
enter the Montana field and, having
names similar to domestic corpora
tions, are hard hit by an opinion CIV
en- out by Attorney General J. B. Poin-
dexter, who holds that the law passed
by the 1909 legislature is applicable
to both. The opinion was given at the
request of H. S. Magraw, superintend-
ent of banks.
Attorney General Poindexter de-
clares that the session laws in 1909
prohibit a corporation from using the
name or any similar name of any ex-
sting domestic corporation. This chap
ter, he says, has specific reference to
domestic corporations.
eff this law is not broad enough to
include foreign corporations, says
the opinion, then in its practical ap-
plication, it is of no avail, for it's eva
son could be easily accomplished. The
purpose of the law is to protect cor
porations in the use of the name sels
ected and to prevent one corporation
from doing the business on the credit
of another corporation, by reason of
using the same or similar name. The
law seems to recognize that a corpora
ton has a right to the exclusive use
Of the name selected by it, as appears
In its Articles of Incorporation.

FLAX TOW FACTORY AT BAKER

Baker.-With the completion of a

ing an era of prosperity which will
make itself felt throughout eastern
Montana, according to C. ]. Dous-

The fax plant was constructed at
cost of $4,000, and was built by an
eastern company. Anderson & Brotin.
The factory employs 25 men at pres
ent, but if the venture is the success
that it has proved elsewhere in Mon
tana and other western states, it is
not unlikely that additions will have
to be built to care for the increased
production of raw material

same amount of land is in demand in
Missoula county, where an auction will
be conducted the following day.
In Sanders county 1000 acres will be

In addition to the land offered on
the foregoing dates, the state owns
considerable real estate in five-acre
lots near Great Falls, which will be
put up at auction. There is one tract

Duck hunting, the favorite sport
Of thousands of nimrods in Montana,
has fallen off preceptibly this fall, as
a result of the discovery of myriads
of dead birds in the marshes and
along the shores of Lake Bowdoin,
which is located in Phillips county,
nine miles from the county seat Of
Malta. But there is joyous news for
sportsmen contained in a bulletin re-
ceived by State anne Warden De
Hart from the United States bureau
of biology, which states that there is
little doubt that the death of so many
birds is due to an alkali poison in
the water, and which says further
that the big per cent of sick birds
recover as soon as they are placed
in fresh water.

TO INSTALL MILL
ON SUNSHINE MINE
TAYLOR PROPERTY PRODUCING
GOOD ORE; ANOTHER SHIP
MENT READY

A. III. Taylor, owner of the Super
lative mine, in Sunshine district,
about 20 miles south of Winnemuc-
ca, is in town today, says the Hum
boldt Star. He says that he will
have another carload of r ready
for shipment in about two weeks and
samplings that have been made show
that it will run about $50 per ton.
A carload of ore from this prop
erty shipped a few weeks ago Melted
him $63 per ton.
Mr.. Taylor has sold an interest in
his property to d. Newton, a well
known mining man who has been in
this section for some time and look
liz for something of this kind. Mr.
Newton has a Tonopah mill here and
had intended to install it on an
other property, but it will be taken
to the Taylor mine and they expect
to have the mill in operation in about
two weeks.
On the dump at the Taylor prop
erty there are about ESQ tons OF
ore that will average close around
$40 per ton and this will yield a
handsome profit when put through
the mill. The mill will work about
eight IONS of ore daily but Taylor
and Newton intend to soon add an
other unit and double the caapcity
of the plant.

OREB0Dy PROVED
Continued from Page Gne,

continued rOm rage
is being made in the winze than in
the raise.
The winze being sunk on the vein
from 519-C raise above the 964-foot
or shale c level, is now down %
feet and is exposing four feet of
s12O ore. This winze will connect
with 522-A raise above the 975-foot
level, which is at present yielding
three feet of S54 ore. The dis
lance between the present roof of the
raise and bottom of the winza is so
feet on the incline of the vein. Above
the south drift on the $50 level, raise
524-A, in the middle of the orebody,
is up rs feet and is exposing six feet
of $37 ore. The workings mention
ed above have proved the orebody for
a distance on it's dip for approx
mately 800 feet and an equal distance
in an easterly and westerly direction.
This explanation, taken in connection
with the development of tho vein on
the levels farther north in the Vel
vet claim, affords a fair idea of the
magnitude of the orebody.
In view of the fact that the mine is
at present shipping daily two carloads
or approximately 100 tons of ore,
averaging around $50 per ton, it is
needless to say that the property, as
a whole, is in splendid physical con-
dition. The old Original Velvet
lease or No. 2 shaft which, it is
planned by the management, will be
connected with the 1917 and other
levels of the Poleverda shaft, has
been cleaned out, enlarged to three
compartment size and retimbered to a
depth of 1875 feet. From the bot
tom to that point, the shaft was evil
IDENTIFY filled up with muck by early
day lessees, who did not care to put
themselves to the trouble of raising
the waste rock to the surface. The
exact depth of the shaft is not known
but it is generally supposed to have
been sunk in the early days to a
depth of 400 feet, two compartment
size. The muck is at present being
cleaned out at the rate of five feet
daily.
