COMPETENCY Of INDIANS
WILL Be DETERMINED

Many Indians on the Flathead reser-
walton, wards of the government, have
asked that patents in fee be given them
by the government. A large number
of these Indians are land poor and want
to dispose of portion Of their holdings
to secure the necessary means of devel-
oping and stocking the remainder of
their holdings. Patents will not issue,
however, until the Indian department
at Washington is convinced that the
Indian asking for a patent is competent
to handle his business affairs in a salts
factory manner.
In order to determene this matter,
Major Mclaughlin and Superintendent
Thackery, representing the Indian de-
partment, have been sent here to ex-
anime into and report on the COM
potency of all Indians who have filed
applications for patents. They are now
prosecuting the work and will probably
conclude their labors within the next
week or ten days. Upon their report
depends whether or not scores of Flat
head Indians will receive patents to
their land.

War Will Continue

That the European war will
not come to speedy close must
be the conclusion of all close OBJ
servers of events in the countries
affected. Germany's successes
in the past six months will not
have a tendency to bring that
country to peace terms only upon
a basis favorable to that country.
On the other hand, England,
France and Russia will not ac-
cept what Germany will undoubt-
eddy offer, unless forced to do so.
On the eastern front German
soldiers are driving the Russians
before them and a strong effort
is being made to take the Baltic
sea port Of Riga, where it is be-
lieved the Germans will go into
winter quarters and prepare for
an advance on Petrograd in the
spring. On the western front
both armies are intrenched and
prepared for a long campaign.
AS a whole it looks like another
year of slaughter, and with this
prospect ahead there is every
reason to believe that the present
low price of wheat is caused en-
tirely by manipulators in the big
markets of the world, and will
not long continue.

For War Appropriation

At the recent meeting Of the
Montana State Press association
held in Billings, Congress-
man Stout announced that since
the adjournment Of congress his
opinion had undergone radical
change and that at the coming
session Of congress he would
vote for an appropriation Of two
million dollars or more for an in
creased army and navy.
Congressman Stout is pessi-
7nistic as to the future. He be-
lieves that with the close of the
great world war all the nations
Of Europe will long to conquer
America-then the money center
and the richest nation of the
world. He believes the United
States has, by certain acts,
gained the enmity Of Germany
and Austria; also that England,
France and Russia disapprove of
the attitude of the United States
in the present war and will treas
ure an opportunity to pay off the
old score. The astute Eastern
Montana congressman has come
to believe that after the close of
the European war, all nations of
that country will individually or
collectively pounce upon the
United States and knock US into
smithereens. To prevent such a
catastrophe, Congressman Stout
will urge the appropriation of
large sums of money to be ex-
pended in a great navy and a
monster army-in other words,

BREWERY WORKERS TO
SHAPE course TONIGHT

The Wilmington brewers and the
brewery workers failed to reach an
agreement at the conference yester-
day afternoon and it is up to the
brewery workers to take some
definite action at their meeting this
evening as 20 their future course.
Albert Kugler. an International rep
resentative of the Brewery Workers
Union, was at the meeting but the
representatives failed to agree upon
a contract as to the wage scale for
the workers and as to other working
conditions.
AS the situation now stands. the
employees are working under the
terms of the old contract, which ex-
pired April 80, and the outcome de-
pends upon the meeting of the
Brewery Workers Union tonight,
when the contract proposed by the
master brewers and also that framed
by the workers themselves will be
presented and discussed.
The committee representing the
union at the conference refused TO
accept the terms proposed by the en-
ployers, but insisted upon an eight
hour instead of a nine-hour day, with
an increase in pay of 81 a week. This
the master brewers did not see their
way clear TO allow under existing
conditions and the outcome depends
now upon what action the union takes

guilty to larceny of twenty-nine
watch cases, valued at S5 each, and

mended mercy. He has not been SEN
