Federal Court Will Go Into
Forgery Allegation
Re Homestead

Echoes of the sensational
charges made last summer in
connection with an alleged torg-
ed REIMBURSEMENT, filed by
parties living near Selma. and
involving land in the same
neighborhood. came this week
when subpoenas were served on
a number of local people to ap-
pear in Great Falls on February
14th to give testimony in the
case before the Federal grand
jury, which will probe into the
matter.
The land in. .qu estion was filed
on by a colored man, according
to the current story. and after
filing the application for the
land left the country. Later
some enterprising resident of
the neighborhood conceived the
idea that one colored man was
as good as another. and a
scheme was hatched up to have
the land relinquished. Accord
ingly, it is stated, George
Butler, a local colored man, was
taken to Great Falls and signed
a REIMBURSEMENT for the land.
Butler cannot read or write
very well, and designed the doc
ument, so the story runs. by
making a sign. and the land
was thus supposed to revert back
to the government. and a third

Can't Comprehend The

Bruce R. McNamer, who is
doing a pilgrimage back in the
isolated regions of Illinois, the
toddling grounds of his child
hood, writes to a local friend in
a rather melancholy vein.
Bruce has been unwinding
skeinS of yarn to the people In
that sequestered spot about the
flax yields. the winter wheat
and the fat cattle on Montana
hills and sunny meads, but his
auditors do not seem to respond
to his rapturous tales; rather
they sit calmly and listen with
a mein Of mingled pity and in
credulity. as if to say pore boy.
he left a Christian home years
ago and went out to that wild
western land and the truth aint
in him no more. pore boyP 1T
is no use to try to impress the
western ways or the western
civilization on these untutored
savages, who imagine there's
nothing worth while but corn
and swine and cheese factories.
Let them think so, | shall soon
leave them to their little world
of corn and pigs" he concludes
his poignant plant and protest.

All flaming" For
Town Betterment
Sentiment of Citizens Most
Emphatic In Favor
tof Improvement

To keep step with the big
building program that is sched-
uled for the coming spring and
summer. Cut Bank business
men and citizens in all walks
are flaming" for extensive
municipal improvements and a
comprehensive scheme to make
the town "as clean as a new
pin," as we'll as to make the
much needed improvements.
1t is the unanimous opinion
that this is the year to do it.
All admit that the town is be-
hind in this respect and all de-
clare that we might as well
frankly make the admission
and then proceed to crystallize
sentiment to a still greater de-
gree, to the end that better
looking town and a better town
to live in will be the result of
this sentiment. reduced to con-
crete action.
That the town is behind
others of lesser commercial i'm
portance is the fault Of no man
or set of men. say leading citi-
zens. In it's evolution from a
stock-day trading point to a
modern little city it has had
many obstacles to contend with,
For years the lots occupied by
the business houses were owned
by the state and were not placed
on sale. This condition greatly
retarded its municipal progress
Then. the states method of dis
posing of the townsite property
on a long time pay plan brought
in little revenue for many years
There was litigation, also, that
kept the town in uncertainty
Despite all this, a splendid
waterworks system has beer
installed. Now the sentiment
is for better walks. a lighting
system and cleanup campaign
that will pervade every nook
and crevice of the town.
Where's there's a will there'I
a way" is a trite truism tina
would make an excellent slogan
just now. The spirit and th'
sentiment unquestionably exiS
for a municipal. improvement
campaign. The town father
will find a way to provide th'
funds. You cannot find fou
citizens in town who will op
pose a move for municipal bet
terment on the ground of extr,
taxatian-or on any Othe
ground. in fact.
So let's "whoop 'er UP" fo
town improvements IN keepin
with our progress and our prom
as the best town in this part Q
