Mike Ryan, the indomitable
Sand Coulee Celt, who took the
count from our Big Joe in the
sta t e championship checker
contest at Great Falls last win
ter, is anxious to get another
game with the local Irishman
and if the Great Falls checker
fanatics will put up the proper
guarantee it is probable that a
match will be arranged for.
By the way, an event that is
probably unique in checker
annals is recited by the Ber-
mingham Post, which is a regu-
lar visitor to the home of Mach
mist Arthur Purcell. The Post
tells about a scientific contest
that was waged between an
Englishman and a German in
the English trenches on Christ
mas day, when a short truce
was declared. The Englishman
took two out of three games
and all the moves were record
ed in the Post. Big Joe was
handed the paper and for the
edification of the roundhouse
boys, reproduced all the moves,
just as they were made in the
trench on that far away battle
ground.

Sen. Lane Plays
the Role Of Critic
Files Report of Investiga-
ton of Blackfeet
Conditions

The chances for the opening
of the Blackfeet reservation, af-
ter any of the plans proposed
the last year or so, seem slim at
this time. The other day it
was planned to have the Com
mittee on Indian Affairs. which
includes a Senator from Arkan-
sas, a Senator from Michigan
and Senator Lane of Oregon,
visit the Blackfeet reservation
the coming summer and thor
oughly investigate conditions.
The Associated Press a few
days ago carried the following:
Washington, Feb. IL. Senator
Lane Of Oregon. who made a
hurried visit to the Blackfeet
Indian reservation last fall, has
filed his report with the Indian
committee Of the Senate, in
which he states that the pre-
vailing sentiment among Black
foot Indians is against selling
their lands, as contemplated in
the bill introduced by Senator
Walsh. He found many things
on the reservation to condemn.
He charged the Indian agent
with lack of interest in b is
wards and said many Of the In
dians are living in tumbled-
down shacks not fit for human
habitation. Among them ma
NY are poverty-stricken and on
the verge of starvation. His
judgment is that the Blackfeet
Indians are not successful farm
ers, and that the money spent
in the maintenance Of an ex-
perimental farm is wasted, as it
serves no useful purpose. He
says that upward of 400 Indian
children of the Blackfeet reser-
" y 4.
walton are unable to attend
school because of the made
Quate school facilities provided
by the government. 1t is his
judgment that the Indians have
refrained from complaining a.
bout their i'll treatment for fear
of incurring the hostility of the
gov srnment agents on the res
ervation. He says that if the
administration of the Blackeet
reservation is an illustration Of
the governments Indian policy,
that policy is failure.

Mrs. James Steele is improving

Are we losing sight Of the
better things of life and follow
the shadow instead of the sub
stance? We all seem bent on
what we call pleasure but have
wv ever stopped to analyze
what real pleasure is? If we
did our mode Of life would
change for the better.
The visit of the Great North
ern men a few days ago called
to mind case which came un-
der our notice a few years ago.
The Great Northern officials
took an interest in a certain
man whom they thought they
could develop into a valuable
employee. 1t could not be done
simply because this man could
not be told anything and he
came to think that the Great
Northern could not do without
him. When he was dropped
he realized that he had lost the
chance Of his life. What are
we doing with ourselves? Are
we learning how to obey?
A very interesting address
was given by School Inspector
Kinney which We have no
doubt will bear good fruit. In
very plain language he told us
our duty. Are we strong
enough to follow his advice for
the sake of our children? We
shall see.
The horses sold at public auc-
ton recently brought a very

two colts only brought a total
of one hundred and fifty dollars,
an average of less than twenty
dollars per head.

Beautiful thy waterfalls,
Lakes of crystal mirroring

Fleetest deer there lure the hunter,
Speckled beauties haunt the streams

Land Of poetry and dreams.
'Land of beauty, peace and plenty,
Where the white peaks pierce the sky
And the rivers lave the prairie,
Laden with fertility;
Land of zinc and coal and copper,

Health is there, and wealth untold

And adown the velvet slopes,

There grain ripens till it's golden,
Wheat and corn and oats and rye.

There to live and there to die"

Common Sense.

Gov. Alexander has sent US a copy
of his circular letter to the people of
Idaho, giving the figures of the "mil-
lion dollars" he saved the State by
his vetoes of fool appropriation bills
enacted by the recent unlamented
Legislature. The figures total one
million, one hundred thirty five thous-
and, seven hundred sixteen dollars
or about S136 100000 more than he
promised. The Eagle supports the
Governor in his fight for economy,
and regrets to see a number of stand
pat newspapers belittle his efforts
and impugn his motives for partisan
gain. He is undertaking a great
and good work and is entitled to
the sympathy and support of the
press, irrespective Of politics -

A Wee Blaze.

Conductor C. Martin had for a
long time been trying TO solve the
one great problem--of making an
honest living, and at the end of the
month be able to jingle few sheck-
les in his jeans, he could call all his
own. The idea came to him about a
month ago, "Why not raise poultry,
and let the chickens do some Of the
hard scratching7"
The idea had hardly been born,
than il was put in effect. Mr.. Mar
tin at once erected a suitable build
ing, bought brooder and about a
hundred little, high-quality chicks to
inhabit the same. For the past few
weeks he had gotten the habit of ar
Using and hour or so earlier to watch
his fortune grow-every peep sound
ed like the clink of dollar
But riches have wings-so have
little chickens.
Thursday evening Mr.. Martins
was directed to the poultry
house, from which smoke was then
issuing. He fastened thither and saw
MS brooder heap of ashes and all
out dozen of his little flock dead.
A hole had also been burned through
he roof of the building. Evidently
'ne of the lamps in the brooder ex-
oloded and did the mischief. But
Mr. Martin says-"if you don't at
irst succeed-suck eggs-later."

The Best Editorial.

Have you ever noticed that the
fellow that runs most of the big con-
Germs of the country are the ones who
always return courteous answers? If
you address the president of a rail-
road he will listen attentatively and
make decent reply. But you ask a
civil question of the cub at a depot in
a country town and you will get a
smart and Tipping reply. Go into a
big city store and ask for the mana
ger. He will talk pleasantly and
give you the desired information.
But happen to get in the way of the
bright young fellow who is washing
a window and he will hand you a
package that will make your blood
boil. But drop around twenty years
later and the cub at the depot may
have advanced until he is brake
man on the local freight and the
window washer will likely be driving
one of the delivery wagons for tn
store. The presidents of railroads
and the managers of big concerns are
the fellows who in fowery days of
their youth acquired the habit of re-
turning soft and courteous answers.
That is one of the reasons they be-
come railroad presidents and mana
gers of big concerns. The cub who
knows more than the president of the
railroad will always be a cub, and
the lackey window washer will still
be polishing glass in the autumn time
of his days.
