WHY INDIAN BILL
FAILED To PASS

The poor suckers who came to
the Flathead five years ago and
filed on homesteads, believing
they had the world by the tail
and a downhill pull, are stung
again. Year after year for five
long years they have lived on the
hope that the next season the
United States government would
fulfill it's promise and give them
water for irrigation purposes,
and just as regularly they have
been disappointed. Since the
first of January, 1915, the belief
has been strong that the con-
gress closed on March 4th would
grant a sufficient amount Of
money to complete enough Of the
work to give water to the farm
ers in that section os the country
north and west Of the Round
Butte, but it appears that a per-
sonal fight between Senator La
toilette and Representative Burke
was sufficient to defeat the ap-
preparation, and this in the face
Of all that Montana's loyal rep
resentatives could do. Inmedi-
ately after the defeat of the bill,
Senators Myers and Walsh and
Representatives Evans and Stout
issued the following statement,
which explains the defeat of the
bill and the condition in which
the Flathead project is left as
regards available funds:
'All members of the Montana
congressional delegation are bit
terly disappointed by reason Of
the failure of the Indian appro-
priation bill to pass congress in
the last hour of the session. The
bill as finally agreed upon in con-
ference, but too late to be acted
upon by both houses, carried ap-
proXimately SSO0,000 for Mon
tana items. A large portion of
this sum consisted of an appro-
priation of S6S7, 600 for continu-
ing work on the Flathead 'irri-
cation project. AS the situation
now stands, however, but $780,
600 will be available for that pro-
ject for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1916, a resolution hav-
ing been passed continuing last
years appropriation.
THE Montana men were COM
PEELED to fight continuously from
the very day the bill was re-
ported out of house committee,
when it was discovered that no
whatever had been
made for the three Indian recla-
nation projects. House men,
oers succeeded in securing an
amendment for $500,00O for the
Flathead project when the bill
was in committee of the whole
house, but this was defeated by
4 close vote on later roll call.
when the bill went to the SEN
ate, Senators Myers and Walsh
succeeded in having amendments
one of which carried
s667, 600 for Flathead. When the
9ill was brought into the senate
March 3, a filibuster developed
n which Senators La Toilette
md Vardaman were the princi-
'al participants, it being their
announced determination from

'ertain amendments proposed by
La Toilette were adopted.
'Vardman's opposition was
continuation of a long and bitter
ight which has been waged
through several sessions of con-
'ress to have some Choctaw In

Ph0enix Out Of Booze, Is Also Out Of Bread

II may have happened befora
 though nobody last night could re member that it had. but last night early every bakery and grocery was
 out of bread. Every loaf had been sold As much as usual had been prepared but it. was all gene. Some connected that with the closing of saloons and thought that that meant
 more money for bread Whether or not there is any relation between the
 absence of bread and the closing of i the saloons. the fact that the bread supply was exhausted. There is an other fact indisputable. that every Saturday night enough money was spent in saloons to buy all the bread, pies and cakes ever con- cocted in Phoenix on Saturday. Most of the men who spent their money over the bar were bound to spend il for something. Why not for bread if the bars were closed.

GERMANS ARE STILL
 FAR FROM WARSAW
There Have Been Engage mcnts on Rivers Bzura

 LONDON. Jan. 3.-Fishting ;;;-,,,:..> il is spar0dic in the west. but more contin- ual in the east. has brought about no material change in the situation. Ar tlllery is playing the biggest part along the western front although at points there has been close range fighting in which a few yards have been ga!ned or lost. Germans deny the report that they have been driven out Of Ste.nDacil. upper Alsace, which has been the scene ol sanguinary fighting from house to house for q week.
 There have been engagements on the rivers BztIra and RaWka in Poland hut seemingly the Germans are no nearer Warsaw than week ago. They have commenced an offensive in the direc- ton of Kielce, one of the largest towns in southern Poland.
 This doubtless has for it's object the holding up of the Russian advance through Galicia on Cracow Another attempt Cn the part of the German ad- vance from MlaWa to divert the Rus sian threat to outflank the center by crOwding the lower Vistula. northwett of Warsaw, has been checked by the Russians. According to Petrograd report the Russians continue to sweep the Austrians westward along the southern Galician railway toward Cry bow and Nousandec, out of the north ern foothills of the Carpathians. The Muscovites are also credited with hay ing organized new campaign against Hungary, advancing in four columns along the mountains. This is said not to be like the previous raids but a reg ular invasion.
 Farther east the Russians are march, ing across Bul<owina, not far north of the Roumanian frontier toward Tran sylvania. It is considered likely the Rumanian action will be hastened by this step. On the Caucasian front where Field Marshal Van DergoltZ is to take command. the Turks have as sumed the offensive and have crossed the Russian frontier at three points. Heavy fighting is now reported to be in progress.
 By request of King George, tomor- row will be observed as day of inter cession ana special prayers for the all lies arms will be offered in every church and every chapel of all creeds and religions in the kingdom
