Fort Yates Commercial

pep" AZ Measures May Arise Dur.
ing 1918 To Demand Il

The regular annual meeting and
election Of officers of the Fort Yates
Commercial Club was held at the
Foresters' Hall last week and re-
suited in election of Jack Carignan,
Jr., president, and P. ]. Jacobson.
secretary-treasurer.
The Fort Yates Commercial Club
has not been very active body
during the past year. There is
much work ahead of the organiza-
ton, however, and it is hoped that
the new officers will he able to a.
rouse interest in meters of public
moment among the members. Dur
ing the time the club has been Or
ganized it has many achievements
to it's credit, and in the campaign
for the location of the county seat
accomplished it's purpose.
Largely through the action of the
members of the Commercial Club
was the Standing Rock Hotel made
possible for Fort Yates. In the
matter of attracting new settlers to
the county with the opening af the
reservation, the Club also did cf-
fective work in the matter of send
ing out advertising, setting forth
the advantages to be found in Sioux
county.
An active Commercial Club is q
valuable asset to any community,
for by united efforts many things
can be accomplished. where indi.
vidual endeavor is wasted. During
war times there may arise occasions
where the Club as as body can rem
der substantial aid in placing bonds,
saving stamps. helping the Rcd
Cross and in many other ways.
The next meeting will be held at
the Agency Hall, Tuesday, Febru-
ary 18th. Judge Beede has pro-
missed to make an address on this
occasion, and it is hoped that the
entire membership will turn out.

Governor Lynn j. Frazier called
an extraordinary session of the
Fifteenth Legislative Assembly to
meet at Bismarck at 8 O'Clock a. m.
on January 23rd, 1918.
The purpose given by the Cover
nor is to pass legislation to relieve
the feed and seed situation in the
state.
Although there is a specific rea-
son given for the call, still under
the constitution Of the state of
North Dakota there is no limit up.
on the time which a legislature,
gathered in extraordinary session,
may remain so, nor any bar on the
matters that the session may con-
slider.
Governor Frazier in calling the
session, expressed the hope that the
legislature would be able to confine
its deliberation to the four days OF
January %, "a, 25 and 26, adjourn
ing the Saturday evening following
the converting Of the assembly. The
executive can only express this as a
desire under the constitution or
urge it as a suggestion.

$4OPayment Approved
By Commissioner Sells
Superintendent kitch Returns From
Warrington With Good New. For
Standing Rock Indian.

Cato Sells, Commissioner OF In
dian Affairs, has recommended to
Congress that the Standing Rock
Sioux Indians be allowed a $40. 90
per capita payment, and the Indian
appropriation bill will carry an item
for an amount sufficient to make
this payment possible. This is the
news Superintendent kitrh on his
return from Washington, last Sat-
urday, brought the Indians under
his supervision
Section 6 of the bill under which
the Standing Rock reservation was
opened to homestead entry, an.
proved February IA, 1918, provides
that this per capita payment is au-
thorizcd to be made by the Sccrc-
tary of the Interior, in his discrc-
ton, from any money in the
Treasury Of the United States to
the credit Of the Standing Rock In
dians derived from the proceeds a.
rising from the sale and disposition
Of the surplus and unallotted lands.
What is ROW bothcring the In
dians is what has become of this
money, since it is necessary to Sc
cure an appropriation from Con-
gress. However, it is hoped that
Congress will appropriate the money
as it means that between S13O, 600
and $50, 600 i'm cash will be nut
into circulation among the Indians,
who can make good use of the
money.
Another good piece of news Mr..
Kitch brought, is a new ruling of
the Indian Bureau, under which
much red-tapc is done away with in
the matter of an Indian drawing his
pro-rata of certain trust funds,
amounting to about $4,000 per
capita. But better still is the word
that seed for the Indians will be
ready for distribution in ample
time this year for the Indian far
mers to get busy in their fields as
soon as spring opens up.
1t now appear, that the delegates
named last fall to 20 to Washing
ton to lay these matters before the
Indian Department and Congress
will not make the trip, as Mr..
Kitch secured the approval and re-
commentator of everything they
asked for, SO far as the Pioneer can
learn.

J. H. Caldwell Promoted

j. H. Caldwell, for the past three
years issue clerk at the Fort Yates
Indian Agency, has been promoted
to the position of custodian of the
Bismarck Indian school, which was
closed temporarily early this fall.
Mr.. Caldwell, accompanied by Su-
perintendent Kitch and Inspector
Seippel, went to Bismarck Tuesday
to invoice the property. Mrs. Cald-
we'll expects to go to Bismarck to
join her husband the first of next
week. On their way to Cannonball
to catch the train Tuesday the car
broke down, and the party COM
posed of the gentlemen above named
had to complete the trip by team.
Jack Carignan says that is another
reason why the Indian Office should
buy Maxwell gas-wagons instead of
Henry Fords.
