JUMPS HIS BOND
IN FEDERAL COURT

Ole Rosegg, who was arrested
in January charged with intro
ducing liquor on the reservation
and placed under bonds to ap-
pear for trial in the federal court,
failed to put in an appearance
when his case was called in Mis-
soula last week Friday. Judge
Bourquin declared the bond for
feited and ordered warrant is
sued for his arrest.
Many of Rosegg's friends, in
Guiding his bondsmen, believed
him innocent of the charge, but
his action in jumping the bond
provided by friends has had much
to do with a change in opinion.
The prevailing sentiment appears
to be that a man who will leave
his friends in the lurch on bond
is unprincipled enough to be
guilty of most any charge.

do unto him? Possibly we, too,
are twisting the tail of the Golden
Rule when we publish this ar
ticle, for we are telling others
Of their faults when we have
many Of our own which we too
often forget. And yet we re-
peat, the Golden Rule is a good
rule. We may not walk stead
fastly in accordance with it's
teachings, but we may at least
practice portion Of that which
we preach. We may accord to
others a slight degree of that
which we demand for ourselves.
We may even trail along in the
shadow of the Golden Rule,
though our footsteps be falter-
ing and our limbs over weary.
For we are but human, and no
human being of today is perfect.
Yes, the tail of the Golden Rule
receives many twists, yet it is
the tail that never knows dis
jointment.

j. s. MARSHAL

The fight for the position of
U. S. marshal for the district of
Montana has finally come to an
end, the result being that the
plum falls to Joseph A. Ash
bridge, state senator from Mus
selshell county Senators Myers
and Walsh have been supporting
different candidates, but on Sat-
urday last came to an under
standing and jointly recon-
mended the appointment of SEN
ator Ashbridge.
Senator Walsh had been sup
porting Joseph Kirschwing of
Great Falls and Senator Myers
favored George w. johnson of
Stevensville. Recently Kirsch-
wing wrote Senator Walsh that
he feared his candidacy might be
embarrassing to the administra-
ton and the contention to which
it had given rise was operating
to the disadvantage of the party
in Montana. He requested the
senator not to urge his appoint
ment further. Thereupon Sem
ators Walsh and Myers agreed
upon Ashbridge who has not
been an active candidate, but
whose name had been considered
in connection with the place by
both senators. 1t is understood
Ashbridge will take office at the
of Marshal Lindsay's
term, May l.

Two Sunday Fires

The Ernest Kering residence
had a very close call from fire
last Sunday night. Mr.. and Miss
kering had been to Poison during
the afternoon and returned Just
about church time, Miss Kering
going Immediately to the church.
On reaching home shortly after
nine o'clock the house was found
to be on fire inside. Immediate
help saved the building. The
fire is thought to have started in
a folding bed, but just how is a
mystery. The building was DAM
aged considerable, as was much
of the furniture.
The large farm residence on
the Joe Todd eighty northeast of
Roman, occupied by Mr.. and Mrs.
Winn Davenport, burned to the
ground Sunday night about ten
O'Clock. Mr.. and Mrs. Daven-
port were not at home, having
gone to Mr.. Davenport's fathers
place to assist in spring seeding.
Winn and his father had been at
the house in the afternoon and
built a fire in the cook stove,
leaving there about five o'clock.
The fire occurred about ten
o'clock that night. Nothing was
saved from the building, Mr.. and
Mrs. Davenport losing all their
except what they had
on when they left home, together
with a large amount of furniture
and provisions, keepsakes, etc.,
and their loss will be heavy as
there was no insurance. 1t is
not known whether the building
was insured or not.

WILL. EXAMINE GOVERNMENT
RECLAMATION PROJECTS

A reclamation examining COM
mittee composed of Congressman
Fitzgerald, chairman; Gillette,
Page, Mondell, Shirley, Borland,
Davis, Good, Sisson and johnson,
will visit practically all the recla-
nation projects in the west dur
ing the present summer.
The members of the committee
will meet in Chicago on June 1st,
and from there will go first to
New Mexico, thence to Arizona,
California, Oregon, Idaho, Utah,
Colorado, Wyoming, Montana
and North Dakota. All of the
reclamation projects will be
thoroughly inspected on the trip
excepting the Hondu, New Mex
leo, and Belle Fouche, S. D., and
the Flathead. The committee
will be in Montana from July 4
to July II inclusive.

tions among the Indians them
selves, and to fight the machin-
ations of the bad Indians" who
were in league with bad whites"
in the neighborhood and in WASH
ington.
McFatridge went to the Black
feet agency with record for
driving out the liquor and gam
bling dealers on every reserva-
ton he had been on. He pro-
ceeded to drive them off the
Blackfeet reservation. In doing
so he incurred the enemity of In
dians as we'll as that of whites
who were getting rich off the
Indians.
Some of these persons, it is
now charged, brought political
influence to bear against McFat-
ridge, and that his dismissal was
due to this. However this NAV
be, the discussion aroused is pro-
ducing other charges and the
general assertion that political
management is having it's usual
effect upon the affairs of the In
dians and producing hardships
and injustices.
Commissioner Sells denies all
the charges, but an investigation
is apparently assured.

RECLAMATION PROJECTS
TO HAVE RETALIATION

Secretary Lane has directed
that a revaluation shall be made
of the government projects, sc
that an equitable adjustment of
construction charges to water
users may be made. His plan
of revision provides for the ap-
pointment of local boards in each
of the six main divisions of the
reclamation service, i. e., South
ern Pacific, Central Idaho-Utah
and Washington. These local
boards are to be composed of
reclamation service officials,
water users and non-Water users.
The duties of the local boards
will be: First, to ascertain the
proper construction cost to be
collected from settlers under each
project as to which construction
charges have been heretofore
announced by public notice, and,
second, to fix the proper charges
on projects where construction
charges have not been announ-
ced. Instructions have been is
sued under which the local boards
will operate. The local boards
are to report to the secretary of
the interior, these reports to be
referred to him to a centrol board
of review composed of Elwood
Mead, General W. L. Marshall
and |. D. O'Donnell, this board
to have final jurisdiction in the
establishment of construction
charges.
The members of the local board
for the daho-Utah division are
F. E. Weymouth, P. M. Fogg
and j. E. Lytel; for the Northern
division, containing Montana pro-
jects, j. B. Bond and G.. 0. San
ford; for the Oregon and Cali
fornia projects, A. N. Burch, D.
n. Cole, H. D. Newell and w.
H. Sanders.
It is expected the reva]uation
and revision of construction
charges will serve to remove
much of the friction that has
heretofore existed between the
reclamation service and settlers
upon government irrigation pro-
jects.

TWISTING THE TAIL
OF THE GOLDEN RULE

The Golden Rule is a good
rule, but we often twist it's tail
to frazzle. 1t was laid down
as a guiding star to the faltering
and wayward footsteps of hu-
nlanity. But there are many
feet in this town that neglect to
tread the golden pathway of life.
1t has been taught to US at the
mothers knee, preached to US
from the pulpit, fed to us in the
schools, declaimed from the lec-
ture platform, and advocated
from a thousand other sources.
But there are local ears that
hear not and eyes that refuse to
see. The tail Of the golden rule
is receiving some vigorous twists
in this town. Often we are
asked by some merchant to
preach the doctrine of trade at
home" We preach it, and it
helps to enrich the merchant who
made the request. That is good,
for we believe in patronizing
local institu tions we like to see
them grow-we want the money
kept at home. But when the
same merchant whose money till
We have helped to fill sends out
of town for his job printing we
cannot but pity the isolation of
the poor old golden rule. Some
people make their money in this
community, enjoy life in the
community, educate their chill
dren at the expense of the COM
munity, and then buy their goods
from merchants who are not in
or Of the community. It is some
tug at the golden tail. There are
some people who want the earth
for what they sell and then ex-
pect to receive some of their own
purchases for less than cost. And
the Golden Rule is helpless-for
gotten-kicked into the discard.
A few people make practice of
parading their own virtues and
sneering at the frailties of their
neighbors. Some want to hog
everything in sight, though the
less fortunate experience the
gnawing pains of hunger. Oc-
casionally we see sanctimonious
countenance in church while the
mind within is devising means
of skinning others out of their
hard earned dollars.
The Golden Rule? Why, the
poor, decrepit old rule is strang-
ling three hundred and sixty-fve
days in the year. It's coat of
gold has turned to rust, and the
once sparkling waters of it's pur-
ity are stagnant from disuse.
The Golden Rule? Can you
point out soul in all this wide
world who in all things does unto
others as he would have others

THE M|SSOULA STAMPEDE
IS F|FT|ETH ANNIVERSARY

The Missoula Stampede is MAX
ing progress and promises to be
about the biggest thing that
Western Montana has ever un-
dertaken. Reports from the
management of the affair are to
the effect that the show is get
ting bigger end better every day.
The Stampede Is being held un-
der the auspices of the Missoula
chamber of commerce and is be-
ing advertised all through the
east by the railroads, who are
distributing literature prepared
by the chamber of commerce.
There are many who have the
wrong idea in regard to the Stam-
pede and the way it is to be con-
Quoted. It consists of wild west
contests rather than wild west
show. The contestants are not
paid men, but enter into COM
petition with each other for the
prize money hung up by the
management. A good part of
the stock in the roping and rid
ing contests will be Western Mon
tana stock. The actual staging
of the affair will be in charge of
the Drumheller brothers of
Washington, who own a large
number of real bucking horses
and are familiar with every de-
tail incident to the staging of a
wild west performance. There
should be a large number of
Western Montana contestants.
Already the management has
heard from 'buckaroos" in many
parts of the country who are fig
uring on entering into compe-
tition. The prize list will be
ready within a week or so. That
they will be liberal is assured.
The prize for riding has already
been decided on and will be $3.50
in cash and $400 saddle. Other
purses are to be in proportion
and the show itself is hummer.
In addition to the show various
other forms of amusement are
being considered. The big par
ade on the morning of July 5th
will be Of real interest to every
resident of Western Montana.
On this date Missoula celebrates
aer fiftieth anniversary and an
elaborate historical pageant is
being planned. E. S. Paxson,
The artist, with whom this Sec
ion of the state is especially
familiar is designing the floats
which will reproduce the early
history of Western Montana. Mr..
oaxson is working in conjunction
With Judge Woody and A. L.
Stone, both of whom have made
study of our early history and
re familiar with its important
vents.
