ALquist in Auto Game

E. R. Alquist, who has been
resident manager for the Great
Falls Lumber company in this
city for the past six years, has
rendered his resignation to the
company and will retire from
that firm the first of April.
Mr.. Alquist has large land in
terests which require a con-
siderable portion of his time,
and during the winter he be-
crme heavily interested in the
Pondera Valley Auto company
which company is just now
completing a fine twenty-thou-
sand dollar garage. Mr.. Alquist
will handle the automobile
sales end of this new firm and
will devote much of his time to
the active management of the
business of the concern. With
his private interests his
time was too much taken up to
give the lumber business the
time it required, and he decided
to resign.

Politics in TooLe

Both political parties IN Toole
county are showing great ac-

perfected an organization and
made preparations for an active
campaign. The republicans met
at Shelby last Saturday and
listened to stirring address by
Mr.. Meigs, of Great Falls, after
which they organized for the
coming contest. Candidates for
office in the neighbor county
are already having announce
ments published in the news

.Redfield Urges all
.ToSaveOldPaper
Says Country Faces Very
Serious Paper
Famine

THE attention of the depart
ment of commerce is called, by
the president of a large paper
manufacturing company, to the
fact that there is a serious short.
age of raw material for the
manufacture of papers. He
urges that the department
should make it known that the
collecting and saving of rag and
old papers would greatly better
existing conditions for Ameri-
can manufacturers.
Something like $4,000 tons
of different kinds of paper and
paper board are manufactured
every day in the United States
and a large proportion of this,
after it has served it's purpose,
could be used over again in
some class of paper. A large
part of it, however, is either
burned or otherwise wasted.
This, Of course, has to be re-
placed by new materials. In
the early history of the paper
industry publicity was given to
the Importance of saving rags.
1t is of scarcely less Importance
now. The department of COM
merce is glad to bring this mat
ter to the attention Of the pub
lie in the hope that practical
results may flow from it. A
little attention to the saving of
rags and old papers will mean
genuine relief to our paper in
dustry and q diminishing drain
upon our Sot,4Ges of supply for
new materials.
A list of dealers in paper
stocks can be obtained from the
local chamber of commerce or
board of trade.

Senators Discuss Status of Indians
Opening of Blackfeet Reservation
Sen. Walsh an Active Participant

The question of opening the
the Blackfeet Indian Reser-
vation flashed momentarily be.
fore the Senate the other day
and then floated over the dome
of the capitol and down the his
toric Potomac. The following
account of the discussion ap-
peared in the Montana dailies
the first of the week:
Urging an appropriation oi
100000 from funds of the
Blackfeet Indians to introduce
live stock and agricultural pur-
suits among them. Senator
Walsh said the situation of
that reservation was somewhat
deplorable and that at present
rations were being issued fo1
900 of the 2,7O0 Indians of the
reservation and the severe
winter would result in many
many deaths among them.
Mr.. Merritt said there were two
delegations in the city on the
matter of disposing of some OF
their lands, but they were un-
able to agree on any proposed
legislation.
Senators Page and Lane op-
posed the item for a building
for an exhibit of Indian porducts
at the Western Fair at Missoula
and said they would oppose it
in the senate. They said the
money should instead be used
in helping the Indians to earn d
living, house and feed them.
Senator Lane referred to the
deplorable conditions surround
ing the homes of the Blackfeet
Indians which were confirmed
by Senator Walsh. Mr.. Merritt
said the bureau had improved
their conditions but there was
room for improvement. He
recommended an appropriation
of 5000, 900 to build homes for
these Indians.
Senator Walsh reviewed the
history of reservation, referring
to the act of 1907 to open the
reservation and the fact that
there was a disposition in the

interior department not to open
1t. He spoke of the value of
the lands for grazing purposes,
but said the leases for grazing
had been renewed. He criticised
the unbusinesslike management
of the reservation saying the
Indians had lost between $780, 900
and $4,000 because of the ter
mination of the grazing leases.
The reservation would afford
grazing for $4,000 head of cattle.
Mr.. Merritt said if the act of
1907 to open the reservation
was carried into effect the
Blackfeet Indians would be in
a much more deplorable con-
dition. Unless congress amend
ed the act there was no hope
for the Indians, he said.
Senator Walsh favored stock
ing the reservation with cattle.
He also said the Indians
would enjoy every advantage
and benefit if the reservation
were opened to cattlemen. AS
it was a vast amount of forage
was going to waste.
Senator Page favored holding
the lands for several years to
secure higher prices. Senator
Walsh had no doubt the land
value would advance. Land
values are going up in Montana,
and the immigration in the
last couple of years has been
very large" he said. Nearly
one-third of all the land entries
in the country were made in
Montana last year and crops
have been good and land prices
are higher now. These things
90 in waves and there will be &
recession again, then after q
period of years the rise will
come again and the crest will
be higher than before. But
there is no reason for hesitating
in disposing of the lands in the
hope that the Indians will take
up the lands and cultivate them.
The Indian is not an agriculturist
They will do something how
ever toward the care of stock.

Sure We Haze Oil

G. w. Bailey, whose home
stead is not far from the Cana
dian boundary and six miles
east of the Reservation line,
was greatly interested in the
article recently published in the
Pioneer Press relative to the
existence of coal in that Sec
tion and has sent to Washing

port. Mr.. Bailey has a spring
on his ranch that shows a dis.
tinct oil seepage and he seems
to think the seepage is growing
more pronounced all the time.
AS he was for many years en-
gagged in the mining of coal and
also worked in the oil fields of
the southwest, he feels that he
has more than ordinary know
ledge of such matters, and firm
ly believes that both coal and
oil exist in this section.
