FIT. PECK PAYMENTS
TO REMAIN SAME
LITTLE HOPE OFFERED THAT
THEY WILL BE CANCELLED
ADJUSTMENT DIFFICULT

c. f. Blaich, who for several years
has been active in work to bring
about a reduction in the appraise-
ment of the reservation land or ex-
tensions of time in which settlers can
make payment, recently wrote Sena-
tor H. L. Myers urging the intro
duction of bill relieving settlers
from making the last two payments
on their land. In his reply Senator
Myers holds forth scant hope that
such bill would pass, but expresses
his earnest desire to do everything
possible toward the desired end.
Senator Myers encloses with his
reply copy of voluminous letter
bearing on the subject from Com
missioner VIM. Spry of the general
land office. The commissioner re-
views the whole history of the res
ervation, describing each step and
each ruling of the Department grant
ing extensions of time, and so forth.
The commissioner shows how difficult
it would be to adjust payments even
If the departments endorsed plan
to cancel part of the payments and
have the government appropriate
money to reimburse the Indians. Ex-
treme difficulties would arise from
such facts as these: of the 1850 en-
tries on the reservation, $50 entry
men have completed their entries and
received their patents, which means
that they have made full payment for
the land. Some have made one pay
ment, some two, some three and some
four Some have obtained exten-
sions of time and are not in default,
some are in default Some are en-
titled to credit for military service.
To carry out the plan of cancelling
the payments as suggested, the COM
missioner says would require an ap-
of about S1,920,000. The
total value of all the reservation
lands, according to the original APP
praisement is approximately $6,O00,-
900.
The eight years, which is the limit
Of time for making payments under
5he extensions granted, will expire
n some cases within two years, and
Mr.. Blaich says he will continue his
efforts to obtain relief in nothing
more than further extensions can be
secured.

FROID HAS THIRD BAD
FIRE LOSS IS $4,000

The city of Froid suffered it's third
disasterous fire on April IL, when
about $4,000 worth of damage was
done, only small part being cover
ed by insurance. The Froid Auto &
Oil Co.'S. electric light plant, power
plant and garage were totally de-
stroyed. The ELECTRIC hall, located
over the main part of the building,
and used by the lodges of the town
and for other social affairs had just
recently been redecorated. Thirteen
cars that were stored in the garage
were destroyed. Among these were
cars belonging to Lawyer L. A..
Brown, J. w. Snitzler and A. R. But
Ter, of the Froid Tribune. The total
value of the cars lost was in the
of $4,000 with no in
surance on any of the lot
The electric light plant furnished
day and night service, and nearly
every Froid home is equipped with
some electric appliances, ranges,
washing machines and irons. The
Farmers elevator is completely oper-
ated by electricity. The loss of the
light plant therefore seriously incon-
veniences the whole town. S. ].
Dorothy, owner of the Froid Auto
& Oil company figures his loss at
about $4,000 above the insurance

SOAKING RAIN MAKES
EVERYBODY SMILE

A fine soaking rain fell Tuesday
night and farmers and gardeners are
feeling very cheerful in consequence.
The warm weather during the early
part of the spring enabled many of
the farmers to get onto their fields
earlier than usual, and there has
been a great deal of seeding done.
Probably not many gardens have
been put in, but the rain this week
mellowed the soil and put it in fine
condition to be worked. Cloudy skies
the past two days are evidence that
there is plenty more moisture up
above and everything points to
good season.

'Our patrons generally, recognize

on a trip over the reservation west

at Pointing Irons place six miles

The house has large plate-glass win
dows and is kalsomined in a pleasing
blue tint. Mrs. Forest told US with

with cement foundation, double win
dows. plastered inside and a well
outside with good water. In the yard
were trim wagons and outbuildings
with everything neat as pin.
Blue Cloud lives in another OF
these neat log cabins. Blue Cloud
received us with great dignity, ear
rings in his ears and red paint on
his cheeks. Corrals, sheds and house
were all noticeably clean and we'll
kept. All these Indian homes have
good wells handy and water hauling
from the Missouri river is thing OF
the past.
