Hail "TeazerS" In
Two Rain Storms

The rain and thunder storms
of Friday and Sunday evenings
were accompanied by hail that
wrought considerable damage
in different parts of the COM
munity north of town. During
the Friday storm hail injured
the crop on the Berns, Brown,
.Halgrimson, Eichelberger and
Neumuth farms to a greater
degree than others in that neigh
borhood. Sunday evening the
hail zone extended along the
line of the Reservation and crops
on the Heintz, Kimmer, Winkl-
er, Rigney, Vincent and White
head ranches we're injured,
more or less. The rainfall in
TOW n was torrential. The base
ment of the Metropolitan hotel
was filled in a few minutes and
valuable furniture and clothing
belonging to MIR. and Mrs. w.
is. Carson, who had a suite in
the basement were ruined. The
Carsons estimate their loss al
from 81, 500 to $4,000. Several
men were engaged in pumping
out the basement the first days
of the week. Weather Observ-
er Thomas reported a fall 0 /

in Cut Bank of 2::33 that filled

Stock Industry on
Stewart
Montana Executive Has an
Array of Figures to
Prove 1t

Neither has the stockman lost
by the coming of the home
steader to Montana. While it
is true that there are in this
state today something like a
quarter of a million head of beef
cattle less there were Is years
ago, the 100000 head of cattle
now ranging in Montana are
worth, to their owners, $4,000
600 more than the million head
of range cattle which grazed
upon the plains of Montana Is
years ago. Compared with this
loss in numbers but gain in
value in the range cattle o f
Montana stands the 200 per cent
increase in the number and 400
per cent increase in the value
o f Montana's dairy herd, in
which there are now ia, 900 pro-
ducing members, of a value of
over eight and one-half million
dollars.
IF it is still necessary to off
set the loss, which some may
see, in the beef cattle industry
of Montana, we need not leave
the livestock division to many
times balance the account. In
1902, there were less than ESQ.,
600 head of horses in this state
and the average value of these
horses was less than $4,000 per
head, making a total value of
the horses in Montana of ap-
proximately seven and on e.
, quarter million dollars. Today
! there are in Montana over $780,
900 head of horses of an average
!, ,Evalue I'd amoSt 5000 per head,
or total value of over thirty
r three and one-half million dol
lars. If it is still felt that Mon
q tana livestock has suffered by
the coming OF the farmer, let
us take quiet census OF Mon
S tana hogs. In 1902, there were
: approximately $4,000 head OF
hogs, valued at S56O,OOO IN Mon
tana. Today there are, IN this
= state, over 2l5,OOO head, worth
i approximately S5,OO0.oo0. l n

Clark Says People
ChangeSentim
Now Favor Opening of
Eastern End of
Reserve

There has been a surprising
change in sentiment on the Re-
servation in relation to t h e
question of opening the eastern
end" said Malcolm Clark, who
was down from Browning Mon
day.
Mr.. Clark stated that during
the visit of the irrigation COM
mittee and Montana congress
sional delegation, committee
consisting of the chiefs and
many representative residents
of the reservation went up to
Glacier Park to meet the visitors
and apprise them of their senti-
ments upon this q e sti i 0 n.
Senators Walsh and Myers were
especially interested in learning
tn e views of this delegation
and found that great many
who formerly opposed the move
where the strongest advocates
of the plan at the present time.
There were about sixty persons
in the delegation, he said, and
all expressed wish that the
matter of opening the reserve
be taken up at the next session
of Congress. Senator Walsh,
declared Clark, promised to re-
introduce his bill for this pur-
pose at the coming session.
There are two things" said
Mr.. Clark, that have influenced
greatly the change in feeling,
III e principal one being a n
abandonment Of the belief that
they were. soon to receive a
large sum of money from the
Government in settlement OF
old land claims. They were
made to believe this by persons
who had selfish motives in desir-
ing the Reserve to remain un-
opened. This matter was pre-.
sented to Senator Walsh, who
informed them that it would be
many years before these claims
would be adjusted, so now they
are coming to realize that the
only way to procure money tt
purchase stock is by selling theil
surplus lands on the eastern enc
and using the money for thii
purpose.
"The desire, also, to become
citizens and electors is CROWN,
strong with the younger genera
ton, who wish a say in loca
and national affairs and the,
realize their status in this re
spect will not be changed unit
the allotments are approves
and they are given absolut
title to holdings. This, of course
will not occur until the plans t
open the Reservation are com
pleted."

The County Agent

The Bynum News, w h ic h
seems to be a sort of an icono-
clast-or in other words "agin"
everything, is not suited with
the county agriculturalist idea
and asserts that it is an un-
necess ary burden upon h e
county. 1t says:
The latest unnecessary and
unjust burden to the taxpayer,
the county "agriculturist," j. M.
Davis, after remaining in the
county long enough to flood the
newspaper offices with a school
boys essay on weeds, has gone
to Lewlstown, for a little rest
and recreation. The doctor
should have been a Christian (?)
Science % healer, and he could
then have given treatments over
the phone.
Not many people will agree
with this conclusion. The county
agriculturalist idea is not new
nor theoretical any longer. The
counties in states farther east
that have adopted the plan will
give eloquent testimony as to
benefits derived-in checking
noxious weeds, stamping out
cholera among hogs and COM
municable diseases in stock of
all kinds and in generally up
lifting the status of the farmer.
1t is too soon to pass judgment
on DR.. Davis, who has been here
but a short time. His credentials
are the best and those who have
met him are convinced that a
good selection was made.
